Spiritualism in its modern incarnation started in the mid-19th century in the United States, a syncretic adjunct of largely Christian population. It is often described as Christian due to an essentially Christian moral system, a perceived belief in the Judeo-Christian God and an afterlife similar to the concept of Heaven. Liturgical practices such as Sunday services and the singing of hymns are also evidence of a largely Christian influence.
Traditional Spiritualists state that they are not necessarily Christians. While they view Jesus as a great teacher and likely a medium, they do not see belief in his teachings a ...

| | | | Spiritualism - Exposed Frauds: Encyclopedia II - Spiritualism - Meditation Meditation is used to calm the "voices" of modern, hectic life so that the practitioner can better hear his or her guide. Meditation often includes the breathing practices of Buddist meditation (ānāpānasati) and may also include the idea of chakras.
The Spiritualist may also focus on the tenets of their chosen religion to help them attain a higher existence. These may include standard prayers (Hail Mary, Shema Yisrael or Salah etc.), focusing on the name of God (Jesus, YHWH or All ...

| | | | Spiritualism - Exposed Frauds: Encyclopedia II - Spiritualism - Characteristic Beliefs The central tenet of Spiritualism is the belief in and practice of mediumship which is believed to provide evidence of the continued existence of an individual's spirit or soul after death. A secondary belief is that spirits are in some way closer to God than living humans, and that spirits themselves are capable of growth and perfection. The afterlife is therefore not a static place, but one in which spirits continue to evolve. The two beliefs: that contact with spirits is possible, and that spirits are more advanced than humans, leads to a ...

Psychic Surgery Psychic Surgery The performing of paranormal surgery, in which the body is opened and closed using the bare hands as surgical instruments. Patients remain fully conscious and allegedly experience no pain. While some observed surgeries remain unexplained, many have been exposed as fraud, accomplished by sleight-of-hand tricks known to most stage magicians. Psychic surgery received much Western media attention in the 1960s and 1970s, prompting thousands of sufferers to seek treatment in the Philippines and Brazil, where psychic surgery was easily available. Some patients have reported cures that are supported by medical diagnosis, but many have not been cured. Some of the 'tumors' removed from patients have been found to be chicken or pig organs, other lumps of animal flesh, or balls of cotton wool palmed by the surgeon. Kidney stones have been exposed as ordinary pebbles. Animal blood is concealed in little plastic bags in the palm or in false thumbs; in some cases the blood is already congealed when it allegedly spurts out of the patient. Using the blood, wads of cotton, and sheets for diversion, the appearance of penetration can be created by folding the knuckles against the skin. Many psychic surgeons demonstrate on obese patients, whose fatty skin is easy to manipulate. If patients complain of pain, no cures, or other postoperative problems, psychic surgeons often blame them on the spirits, past-life karma, or a lack of harmony between the patient, healer, and magnetic vibrations in the room.
