It is through personal interpretation and understanding of any spiritual philosophy that shapes the individual spiritually. How it is expressed by living it guides their decisions. These decisions influence how they choose to interact with everyone and everything of the material and non-material worlds.

Spiritualism helps to offer a personal philosophy for every Spiritualist. Each individual continuously progresses and grows in their understanding and interpretation. This results in the consideration of many diverse views. Yet, in essence, the underpinning ideas come from the same source of universal understanding. Within the SNU, they are based on the 7 Principles of Spiritualism.

It is the acceptance of this diversity that makes Spiritualism free from creed or dogma as a religious philosophy. Though the SNU chooses to set down the principles behind SNU Spiritualism, they are not seen as binding. They serve just as a foundation for that journey of understanding.

Spiritualism becomes a living personal philosophy by applying personal philosophy in all compartments of day-to-day living. It also grows by progressing and learning through life’s experiences.
