Why is there a Mystical Spiritualist
Church Logo?
In the beginning there was a Spiritualist minister named
Rev. Ethel Rowe who taught:
• Prayer
• Meditation
• Inspiration
• Billet Reading
• Singing/Toning
• Spirit Mediumship
• Channeling
•Transfiguration
Spiritual Evolution of
the Mystical Spiritualist Church
 Ethel Rowe loved to celebrate spirit with music and dance, as she
was full of life. She always felt that Spiritualism is a living energy
and thus needs to continue to grow and change in order to be
applicable to life, as it is today and tomorrow. This new Mystical
Spiritualist Church is continuing to apply her values and
teachings and even expand on them.
 Ethel believed that many churches need to come into the 21st
Century and not continue to be "stuck" in the 18th, 19th and 20th
Centuries where they came from.
 Thus, we are continuing that ideal and are purposely not
affiliated with any other church so that we are not held back or
down by their doctrines, dogma or "old baggage".
How did the Logo for the Mystical
Spiritualist Church Come About?
 This was the logo that Reverend Ethel Rowe (1912-2001) had
a dream about as she founded the Mystical United
Spiritualist Church of Anaheim in 1976 .
 The logo used by this Church was inspired by the one
above. Thus, both logos incorporate the Ankh and two 7
pointed stars in much the same way.
How did the Logo for the
Mystical Spiritualist Church
Come about?
Elements of The Infinite in the
Mystical Spiritualist Church Logo
The Background of our Logo:
 The "Sky" used as a background shows Light shining into
all realms of consciousness – even into so-called
"darkness", beyond the bounds of our present concepts,
awareness and universe. Light dissolving darkness.
 This symbolizes the presence of God, beyond earth, body
and mind.
 GOD IS everywhere, throughout the Multiverses.
“Where ever you are I AM there ”
Elements from Heaven in the
Mystical Spiritualist Church Logo
Light Elements in our Logo:
 The Star –The star of man, with 5 points, represents the
five founders and their dedication to the light and love
that Ethel Rowe spread during her life as she spread the
Spiritualist Gospel of Everlasting Life. Placement near
the top of the symbol represents Ethel's position, since
her transition; with a broader view of life.
 The Sun – at the center (in the loop of the Ankh)
represents Divine Light shining within, around and
throughout life itself, nourishing and brightening all
existence. It is the light that shines within each one of us
as well.
The Ankh in the Mystical Spiritualist
Church Logo
Love in our Logo:
 The Ankh or Chai – The Sign of Eternal Life, Light & Love
comes from the Ancient Atlantian, Egyptian and Hebrew
Cultures.
 According to the oral teachings of the Mystical Prophets of
the Torah, this is "Chai“; the symbol of the Eternal Life of the
Creator within all existence, as connected through the soul
of Adam Kadmon (first human) as with each and every
individual human personality created, past, present, and
future. All are sitting in At-One-Ment on the Throne of
Immortal Bliss, even right now since there is no time on that
level and we are always intimately connected to that level as
our Higher Selves. This love never dies no matter what thus
LIVES ARE ETERNAL.
More Stars in our Mystical Spiritualist
Church Logo
 The Inner 7 pointed Star – represents the
pure light that is the inner spiritual prompting
of the soul for expansion and growth. This star
and its light lives within all life.
 The Outer 7 pointed Star – represents the
way the inner light expands into materiality, as
seen in the 7 days and colors of the chakras,
each one being its own light and energy and
yet not taking anything away from the others.
As the 7 colors recombine they create the white
light again and again, forever.
More Light in the Mystical
Spiritualist Church Logo
 Light has burst forth to reveal all that is, was and
ever shall be. This is the light of increasing
conscious awareness. Some call it “The Big Bang”.
 The 12 rays of light – represent the 12 aspects of
humanity mentioned in the ageless teachings of the
Masters. Thus you find a history of humanity that
includes 12 tribes, 12 disciples, 12 days of Christmas
and 12 months through the complete turn of the
zodiac.
To the Sides of the Mystical
Spiritualist Church Logo
The Feathers of Dichotomy and Unity:
 Being similar, yet different, these feathers symbolize
unity within diversity.
 The American Indians felt that the feather was a
connection to wisdoms from above and beyond. This
church was formed on the North American Continent
where these peoples lived; thus the feathers are also
red, white and blue for “freedom and flight of soul”.
 In ancient Egypt, the feather was the symbol of truth.
Placed, one on either side in our logo, gives balance,
as they also stand as a gateway to understanding.
At the Base of the Mystical
Spiritualist Church Logo
Another Symbol of Everlasting Life:
 The Yin-Yang symbol represents life revolving and
evolving in ongoing cycles as dark and light, male and
female, black and white dancing together in harmony
and grace.
 So that each may realize that they too have a little bit of
"the other" within their own selves and EACH AND
EVERY THING, SEEN OR UNSEEN, IS PART OF LIFE.
LIGHT, LOVE, INSPIRATION & TRUTH of GOD
The Complete Mystical
Spiritualist Church Logo
Now
Revealed !
Elements of the Mystical Spiritualist
Church Logo
The Unity of our Logo:
 All of the elements in this logo are found in light, life.
love, beauty, inspiration and truth, the very essence of
what many call “God”. Thus these and their
representatives may be found throughout the world, the
many worlds, galaxies, universes and dimensions of
multi-verses.
 God is everywhere at once, undiminished! Yet, have you
felt that forever presence? Not likely, as you do not know
what it is to be without what is ever present.
 God is alive and hiding in each one of us!
A Spiritual Evolution in
the Mystical Spiritualist Church
 Our ministers and clergy are dedicated to continuing
Ethel’s dreams, along with our own, and making them
a reality, today and tomorrow.
Reverends: John Kohlenberger, Frances Greenspan, Karin Marquez, Martine Kohlenberger and Spirit
Thus Began Twenty First Century
Spiritualism
The Mystical Spiritualist Church has been bringing a new
Spiritualism into 21st Century since 2001, by coming
together as community to inspire and be inspired, to
practice unconditional love, peace, harmony, and balance
with all life, through non-judgment of self and others.
Thus, we accept all who come to rebuild their own
Spiritual Bridges. Having no fixed hierarchy, we may all
commune equally with Spirit; helping each to know and
share our light; as we unite heaven and earth.
“GOD IS Alive and hiding in Eachoneofus”
- from Spirit to John (1971)
“It is a blessing
and a joy when
man and spirit
come together in
search of the
greater truths and
awarenesses”
- from Dr. Peebles
