The Dialectical Materialism of Mediumship

Dialectical materialism of mediumship views spiritual phenomena as rooted in real social and material contexts rather than supernatural forces. It examines how cultural, psychological, and societal factors influence beliefs and experiences with mediums. This approach emphasizes that perceptions of spirits or messages are shaped by existing social conditions, class dynamics, and material circumstances, meaning that mediumship symbols and practices reflect broader human experiences. Rather than dismissing these phenomena as purely supernatural, dialectical materialism seeks to understand their development, significance, and impact within the material world and social structures.
