Spirit Teachings

Discourses from the
Spiritualist classic
by the English medium
Rev. Stainton Moses,
arranged by topic.

Holy Spirit.

Is there life after death? Why are we here? Is there really a Heaven? Is there a Hell?

Do we really have guardian angels? Do demons exist, or are they just imaginary?

What is life like in the spirit world? What are auras and "spirit photographs"? What is mediumship?

What lessons can we learn from the life of Jesus and other Teachers? What is true religion? What hope is there for mankind?

 

These are some of the questions addressed in the book Spirit Teachings received through automatic writing by the English medium, Stainton Moses, during the 1870's. This classic of Spiritualist philosophy is regarded as the Bible of Spiritualism.

Within the pages of this web site, are copious excerpts from this book. In its actual form, the book is arranged in chronological order, so that the same topics are touched upon in different sections. Many of the writings are re-presented here, sorted by subject for easy-browsing. Selections from More Spirit Teachings are also included.

Comments and questions by Stainton Moses and others are always colored; the spirit-teachings themselves are always in black. (This can be seen only if your browser has Cascading Style Sheets enabled.)
