WHERE DID SPIRITISM COME FROM?
We have mentioned before, Hades, that far and distant world
where our Faith began, perhaps 200,000 years ago. But what was that world
like? It was far different than the one we now know. It had no great oceans,
only several great lakes, and a terrible desert circled its equator. Its
winters were warm, and its summers hot. But life evolved there, a race that
had the spark to understand. And a Teacher came to ignite that spark into
a flame, a kind and geltle merchant, a simple man, that sought only to
provide for the needs of his family. But when he was shown the needs of
his greater family, he spoke out without fear, without anger, with the greatest
of gentleness. He awoke in his people a dream...a seeking after The Truth
in all things, a desire to worship that that deserves worship, and turn
from those false gods, puffed up with pride. This wise old man led his people
on many adventures, and established them in their own country, and laid
for them the foundations that were to eventually sweep their world, and
become the hope of the universe.
From this harsh world was born a beuty, a joy beyond price, a Shining
Light that like a growing flower, spreads throughout the universe, kindling
the Spark in each individual and helping it grow to its full brilliance.
Many faiths have borrowed much from the Children Of Hades. They have incorporated
much of their Teachings and legends into their own gods, and have borrowed
many of the ceremonies of These Ancient Peoples, and called them their own.
But The Hashons would find no problem with this. They would not be bothered
at all. For They well understand the need of others to express things in
their own way, and to reach The Light by their own Path. We must never
forget what They have given us. We must polissh it, shine it, and present
it to the world, that every man and woman may share it as joyously as we
do.
