JBL, you're drawing an interesting distinction between two currents within modern spirituality: spirit-centered spirituality and cosmos-centered spirituality.
I'd polish your English like this:

There are two major trends in modern spirituality: spiritualism and the New Age movement.
The main focus of spiritualists is the spirit world.
They believe in ghosts, life after death, and the existence of heaven and hell.
On the other hand, New Age followers tend to be interested in UFOs, extraterrestrial beings (ETs), cosmic consciousness, and the idea of a higher soul.
In simple terms, spiritualism tends to focus on communication with spirits and the afterlife, while the New Age movement often explores cosmic connections, spiritual evolution, and higher states of consciousness.

yes, that's right

that's what i mean

One interesting nuance
Your distinction is useful, but there's some overlap between the two movements.
Spiritualism: Communication with the dead, spirit guides, and the survival of consciousness after death.
New Age: Cosmic energy, ascension, extraterrestrials, universal consciousness, and personal spiritual transformation.

One important distinction: belief in heaven and hell isn't universal among spiritualists, and belief in UFOs or ETs isn't universal among New Age followers either.

Here's the deeper philosophical question: Are these two movements exploring different dimensions of the same mystery — one looking beyond death and the other looking beyond Earth?

what does it mean?
962.

WINoE
It means that not everyone in a spiritual or New Age movement shares the same beliefs.
Let's break it down! 👇

1. “Belief in heaven and hell isn't universal among spiritualists.”
This means not all spiritualists believe in heaven and hell.
Some spiritualists believe in heaven and hell as actual places or spiritual realms.
Others believe in reincarnation, karma, or the evolution of the soul.
Some believe that heaven and hell are states of consciousness rather than literal places.
In other words, being a spiritualist doesn't automatically mean believing in heaven and hell.
964.

2. “Belief in UFOs or ETs isn't universal among New Age followers either.”
This means not all New Age followers believe in UFOs or extraterrestrial beings (ETs).
Some New Age followers believe extraterrestrials visit Earth or communicate with humans.
Others focus on meditation, healing, astrology, crystals, or spiritual growth without believing in extraterrestrials.
Some may be skeptical of UFO claims altogether.
Being a New Age follower doesn't automatically mean believing in aliens.

3. What's the main point?
The key word is “universal.” Here, it means shared by everyone in a particular group.
The sentence is saying that we shouldn't assume everyone in a spiritual movement believes the same things.
For example:
966.
◆JBLfMwCXhY
WINoE
For example:
Group Belief that isn't shared by everyone
Spiritualists Heaven and hell
New Age followers UFOs and extraterrestrials
In simple English: “Some spiritualists believe in heaven and hell, and some New Age followers believe in aliens, but neither belief is held by everyone in those groups.”
It's a reminder not to stereotype people based on their spiritual beliefs. 😊
