Preferred term

espiritismo  

Definition

  • Espiritismo (spiritism) is a way of life that provides a profound understanding of the human soul, humanity's purpose, and spiritual evolution, helping establish important scientific principles of communication between the spiritual and physical worlds. It has opened new horizons for the study and interpretation of many psychic phenomena (i.e., channeling, clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience, automatic writing, distant healing, mental telepathy) and has helped establish a scientific classification for mediumship.
