Spirtism is often confused with Spiritulism. Each is a totally different belief System, with Spiritism being considered a Religion. Currently, Spiritism is practiced in 35 Nations throughout The World. ''Created'' in 1857, Spiritism stresses that all things in The Universe – have a Spirit or tangible Energy. These Spirits interact on a different level of existence than Humans. They can ''cross over'' into our ''Realm'', and appear or can cause disturbances of a physical nature. Man should co-exist with The Spirit Realm, whereas one day ''He'' too, will become such. Spiritism borrows some elements of their Belief System fro Western Christianity, Buddhism and even some Pagan origins.
