Spiritualisim in the 21st Century,

I was walking around in a supermarket when i saw a cashier hand this little boy his money back, the boy couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said, ‘I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ”Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?” She replied, ”You know that you don’t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.” Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. ‘It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.’ I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. ‘No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.’ His eyes were so sad while saying this, ‘My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, ‘I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.’ Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me ‘I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won’t forget me.’ ‘I love my mommy and I wish she didn’t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.’ Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ‘Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” OK’ he said, ‘I hope I do have enough.’ I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said, ‘Thank you God for giving me enough money!’ Then he looked at me and added, ‘I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!” ‘I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.” ‘My mommy loves white roses.’ A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn’t stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine, and in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him
History of the Lyceum Manual
Lyceum was the name that was given originally to a gymnasium and garden with covered walks near the temple of Apollo Lyceus at Athens. Aristotle taught there, which is how the name was applied to his school of Philosophy.
Andrew Jackson Davis used this name for Spiritualist Sunday Schools, which he inaugurated in 1863. The Lyceum was first published in 1887. It was what the Church of United Spiritualism of Australia was proclaimed on.
It is designed to be a thoroughly practical work book and incorporates the ideas of the progressive and Spiritual teachings of the day. It is a guide and a reference as a Teacher. It is a book of gathered information on our basic understanding of Spiritualism.
Andrew Jackson Davis (1826 -1910)
Founder of the Lyceum MovementThe young Andrew Jackson Davis was a trance Medium who enabled his Spirit helpers to dictate books that were then transcribed and printed. He was able to ‘Journey’ when in the trance state and visit the Spiritual planes. He compared the way children were educated in the Summerland (Spirit-world) to the way they were educated on Earth and it was his belief that the methods used by Spirit were superior to those here. Andrew Jackson Davis spoke of this in a lecture at Dodsworth Hall on January 25th 1863; the Lyceum was inaugurated at that meeting. The first British Lyceum was opened in Nottingham, in June 1866 by Mr. J Hitchcock.The 25thof January the Anniversary of the founding of the Spiritualist Children’s Progressive Lyceum by Andrew Jackson Davis, 1863 is celebrated. It opened a new world to the adult as well as the child; to break the bonds of ignorance and superstitions of old religious ideas; that the child was a repository of infinite possibilities and not born in sin, but needed training and an avenue of expression.
Alfred Kitson 1855 – 1934
First Secretary of the Spiritualists’ Lyceum Union
(became known as Dad Kitson, the Father of the British Lyceum Movement)Born in Gawthorpe, West Riding Yorkshire, the young Alfred Kitson was a strictly brought up Methodist. His Father investigated Spiritualism, expecting to find evidence of fraud, instead he developed as a Medium. Alfred became convinced that the Spiritualist religion could help mankind and he devoted his efforts, and his heart, to work for children and the Lyceum. Alfred wrote several books and some are still available to buy.
Harry Kersey
First President of the Spiritualists Lyceum UnionHarry Kersey came from Newcastle upon Tyne and collaborated with Alfred Kitson and Emma Hardinge Britten on the production of the Lyceum Manual. He paid for this to be printed and later worked on the Spiritual Songster with his sister.
Emma Hardinge Britten
who co-produced the Lyceum ManualEmma Hardinge Britten was a famous Medium of the 19th century who spoke publically and wrote prolifically to support the growth of the Spiritualist movement. Emma received the Principles of Spiritualism from the communicating Spirit of Robert Owen. A copy of the original Principles, in the bound volume of ‘Medium and Daybreak’ 1871, is on view at the Lyceum museum library in the U.K
Please help us and the child. There is strong paranormal activity in my house. I am single mother to 4 young children. There is a little girl ghost – infant aged 1 to 4 years old. Lately, she is starting to bother us. She seems to want our attention more. My children hear the footsteps and the cry. My son James can hear her crying like a baby. She would cry if me and the children have an arguement. She has been around me when I was in bed, flickering, tapping etc. She tapped my kids too. When I ignored her tapping me, she would throw a “temper tantrum” – she would running or stamping her feet really strong. Two nights ago, I was asleep and she woke me up. She gave me a fright because she ran – a strong vibration. I am profoundly deaf by the way. I think she needs help to get home. She is lonely and sad. We want to help her. Please. Anyone can. Tania
By the way, my son James actually saw her – a full set of manisfesation of a child – a litle girl three times. Tania
I will send some kind thoughts and is it posiible for you to speak to her like any other child praise her when needed scold her if need be and give her a little love and solace it will help L&L Jock
Thanks. I will keep that in mind. I will also tell my kids to treat her as a child. I will update. Tania x
