oh so much to say
we believe in life after death proven through spirit communications
we believe in God possibly in a similar way to Pagans in that Gods energy is in all around us
we believe in levels of spirit world , and where you would reside in spirit would depend on your spiritual progression in life
there are lower realms for those not spiritually developed , however every realm can be progressed from
we believe strongly in free will , tolerance and love
we have 7 principles

and thank you for the opportunity to share xx
edit
we do not call spirit .. we open to spirit and they communicate with their own free will ( if they wish to )
we do not tell futures
we do not predict , prescribe , diagnose
we are not evil
edit
actually daisy is quite wrong
Jesus was divine ... but we do believe that there have been others with the same divinity

I have to admit that I don't believe in spirits - but I do believe in energy. Impossible not to, when it's observable all around us. That energy that makes the universe function moves within all of us, and I don't know how, but we can share it with each other. Love, support, and friendship all transfer positive energy - maybe not literal energy, but I've been renewed by a visit from a friend often enough to know that it's true all the same. It's what makes life worth living.
Sorry if this doesn't qualify as what you consider spiritualist... but your question, and the answers for it, moved me to respond.

I do not know if I quite go under this category, but...
I was born into a Lutheran family. Baptized as a baby and confirmed at the age of 15. My parents tried to do the right thing and I never questioned it until after I had walked away from my childhood faith and spiritual connection with God.
My life looked good and smelled good outside but inside I was broke. God never left me, it was me who moved away from Him. Jesus knocked my heart's door ( the handle is inside, we need to open it ), and I had the hunger for something more..something that was missing from my life. Then my young daughter started to ask me about the church and I kind of gave her brush off answers like " OK, we can try one once we have built our house, and when we have moved in..and when we have settled in..and when we find the right church..and and and".
Then she said to me " Mom, we are not going to go to the church, are not we? ". I was like " God, if you are there, help me out". I was sure if we vistied the church once, she would not want to go back anymore. I never enjoyed the worship even when I still believed in God.
I went to check out the church many people had invited me to over the years. I just loved it. The first I was mad, because I felt that they were talking about my life and I thought that they had no busines of poking into my personal life like that. But God gave me bigger hunger for His Word, and I joined to that non-denominational Christians church, got baptized again and eventually I joined into a small group, women's Bible study. The first study was Rick Warren's " Purpose driven life". That changed my spiritual life, and I asked the Holy Spirit to come to guide me.
I am still learning. I understand that there is no shorcuts to a spiritual maturity. I have to give it time. I have a personal relationship with God. I do not follow any religion, I follow Jesus. I fall short from the glory of God, and I am happy Jesus made the way for me because even if I tried my very best, I would not make it by my deeds alone. I appreciate His sacrifice. All good people do not go to heaven, all forgiven people go to heaven. His offer is for everyone. : )

Faith comes from our inner senses of knowing, knowing comes from careful observation of phenomenas, mental and physical.
Realisation comes from understanding, as understanding comes from clear comprehension of the knowing and seeing.
Then one becomes one with clear insight, with careful introspection, understanding the reality and illusions of life 'as-it-is'.
This is not just a belief, it is a clear comprehension of spirituality.

We are all connected.
The same energy runs through everything in the Universe.
Therefore, we are all one.
We are god, not each but rather as a whole.
God is not without, but rather within...all.
When mankind realizes that he cannot harm his neighbor, without in return harming himself, then we will truely experience the age of enlightenment.
And it harms none...do as you will.
Blessed Be ; )

Not a Spiritualists but:
Spiritualists believe God is impersonal, He is the creator and sustainer. They believe Christ was a medium of high order, was not divine and is now an advanced spirit of the sixth sphere. They deny the personality of the Holy Spirit. Man never had a fall, whatever is, is right, evil does not exist. Jesus was a Jewish enthusiast and came to an untimely death. Man is his own savior and that hell does not exist and never will.
Yup pretty much the opposite of Christianity. Definitely thought of by Satan. Misleading so many people, so sad.
