The study and application of a spiritual philosophy is the key to establishing a spiritual way of life and within the membership of the SNU (Spiritualist National Union) it is introduced through the 7 Principles of Spiritualism. The the SNU chooses to set down the principles behind Spiritualism for its members, they are not intended to be binding rules or a dogma but to provide each individual, particularly those who are new to spiritualism, a foundation for developing a personal philosophy.
The Seven Principles are as follows:
The Fatherhood of God
The Brotherhood of Man
The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels
The Continuous Existence of the Human Soul
Personal Responsibility
Compensation and Retribution Hereafter for all the Good and Evil Deeds done on Earth
Eternal Progress Open to every Human Soul
