Of Higher Order
How can necromancy go wrong if practitioners are not only in communication with the dead but rather with the living? If spiritualism in the Philippines has evolved direct communication with the saints, angels and even God, would it not be accurate to claim that spiritualism has reached the highest order possible?
In the late seventies in Tonsuya, Malabon, the Lunduyang Pinagpala ng Panginoon made its mark. Through a dream, this writer was warned about the dangers the spirits inhering in this cult spoused. Documents manifesting the messages of the spirits who come to its members confirrned his fears. Through the talaytayan or medium, messages from different saints and archangels, including one named Kgg. Arkanhel Razon {Honorable Archangel Razon (Razon is Spanish for reason)} were obtained. There were extant passages where Ferdinand E. Marcos, the then President, was identified as Savior of Humankind and his wife Imelda, as another blessed entity.
In the 1980s the Spiritual Filipino Catholic Church spread its influence. It had similar functionaries and functions. The cult from Sacrifice Valley, Bataan spread across the island with its medium missionaries with position(s)/ rank(s) such as querubin and angelita. In one encounter, this writer tried to find out the veracity of the spirit which was nakasapi (inhering) and the spirit identified itself as the Prophet Daniel. Just to try it out, this writer asked where Susanna (one of the biblical women who characters of great virtue) was and the Prophet replied that she was washing clothes at that time.
And thus, spiritualism, or spiritism had evolved into a body of beliefs which promulgated a more expansive it not more entertaining theological system were politicians are identified with divine missions and saints given trivial tasks in Heaven.
