- All
Spiritist practices are gratuitous, following the orientation of the
moral principle found in the Gospel: "Give for free what you
receive for free."
- Spiritism is practiced
with simplicity, without any external forms of worship, within the
Christian principle that God should be worshipped in spirit and in
truth.
- Spiritism has no clergy,
nor does it adopt or use at any of its meetings or during its practices
the following: altars, images, candles, processions, sacraments, concession
of indulgences, clerical vestments, alcoholic or hallucinogenic beverages,
incense, tobacco, talismans, amulets, horoscopes, Tarot reading, pyramids,
crystals or any other objects, rituals or external forms of worship.
- Spiritism does not impose
its principles. It invites those interested in knowing it to submit
its teachings to the test of reason before accepting them.
- Mediumship, which allows
the Spirits to communicate with Human Beings, is a faculty that many
individuals bring with them at birth, independent of whatever religion
or beliefs they may come to adopt.
- Spiritist Mediumship
practice is solely that which is exercised based on the principles
of the Spiritist Doctrine and within the Christian morality.
- Spiritism respects all
religions and doctrines; values all efforts towards the practice of
goodness; works towards peace and fellowship between all nations and
all peoples, regardless of race, color, nationality, creed, cultural
or social standing. It also recognizes that the truly good person
is one who complies with the laws of justice, love, and charity in
their highest degree of purity.
