Sometime in 1912, Elsa Barker, an accomplished American Poetess,
was visiting in Paris, when one night she found herself automatic
writing, meaning that is someone other than her sub conscious was
writing using her hand. The entity inspiring the writing, claimed
to be Judge David Patterson Hatch. The judge explained that he had
recently passed over and that he wanted to document his experiences
on the other side in the form of letters that he would write
through Elsa's hand. Until Elsa was convinced of the Judge's
identity she referred to him as XA" Over the next three years over
130 letters were 'dictated' and published as a trilogy under the
banner Letters from a Living Dean Man. The letters are now
considered an essential guide to the afterlife; all are
fascinating, informative, and inspirational, and required reading
for anyone interested in life and death, the afterlife, and why we
are here. Here is a sample of her introduction. If anyone asks the
question, that do I myself think as to whether these letters are
genuine communications from the invisible world, I should answer
that I believe they are. In the personal and suppressed portions
reference was often made to past events and to possessions of which
I had no knowledge, and these references were verified. This leaves
untouched the favorite telepathic theory of the psychologists. But
if these letters were telepathed to me, by whom were they
telepathed? Not by my friend who was present at the writing of many
of them, for their contents were as much a surprise to her as to
me. I wish, however, to state that I make no scientific claims
about this book, for science demands tests and proofs. Save for the
first letter signed "X" before I knew that Mr.-- was dead, or knew
who "X" was, the book was not written under "test conditions," as
the psychologists understand the term. As evidence of a soul's
survival after bodily death, it must be accepted or rejected by
each individual according to his or her temperament, experience,
and inner conviction as to the truth of its contents. In the
absence of "X" and without some other entity on the invisible side
of Nature in whom I had a like degree of confidence, I could not
produce another document of this kind. Against indiscriminate
mediumship. I have still a strong and ineradicable prejudice, for I
recognise its dangers both of obsession and deception. But for my
faith in "X" and the faith of my Paris friend in me, this book
could never have been. Doubt of the invisible author or of the
visible medium would probably have paralysed both, for the purposes
of this writing. The effect of these letters on me personally has
been to remove entirely any fear of death which I may ever have
had, to strengthen my belief in immortality, to make the life
beyond the grave as real and vital as the life here in the
sunshine. If they can give even to one other person the sense of
exultant immortality which they have given to me, I shall feel
repaid for my labour. To those who may feel inclined to blame me
for publishing such a book I can only say that I have always tried
to give my best to the world, and perhaps these letters are one of
the best things that I have to give. ELSA BARKER.

Guardian angels. Archangels. Parking angels?
According to angel expert Karen Paolino, angels are everywhere,
and they're just waiting for a chance to help people. With this

guidance, healing, and protection from harm. Thousands of angels

communication.

If you are looking to truly understand the cause of war, conflict
and man's inhumanity to man - and if you are willing to think
outside the box - this book will give you a new perspective on
history. It explains why every society has had a small elite that
managed to gain control over the population. This book goes far
beyond conspiracy theories by identifying the real cause of evil as
a state of consciousness. This "fallen" consciousness has affected
every aspect of society, and it colors our thinking in many subtle
ways. Yet once you understand the psychological mechanism behind
it, you will be able to escape this control. And as more and more
people do the same, society will move towards a new and better age.
This book will not weigh you down with fear or a sense that we are
controlled by hidden forces and can do nothing about it. On the
contrary, this book brings a message of profound hope, as well as
practical tools for raising both yourself and humanity beyond the
fallen consciousness and its psychology of control.

Money, magic and the theatre were powerful forces in early modern
England. Money was acquiring an independent, efficacious agency, as
the growth of usury allowed financial signs to reproduce without
human intervention. Magic was coming to seem Satanic, as the
manipulation of magical signs to performative purposes was
criminalized in the great 'witch craze.' And the commercial, public
theatre was emerging - to great controversy - as the perfect medium
to display, analyse and evaluate the newly autonomous power of
representation in its financial, magical and aesthetic forms. Money
and Magic in Early Modern Drama is especially timely in the current
era of financial deregulation and derivatives, which are just as
mysterious and occult in their operations as the germinal finance
of 16th-century London. Chapters examine the convergence of money
and magic in a wide range of early modern drama, from the anonymous
Mankind through Christopher Marlowe to Ben Jonson, concentrating on
such plays as The Alchemist, The New Inn and The Staple of News.
Several focus on Shakespeare, whose analysis of the relations
between finance, witchcraft and theatricality is particularly acute
in Timon of Athens, The Comedy of Errors, Antony and Cleopatra and
The Winter's Tale.

A Soul's Journey is indeed a personal story. The journey are
lessons that were given to me by my God Presence during the summer
of 2013 in answer to the prayer "God help me create the life I
desire." The Journey is recorded in four books containing twenty
four chapters. Most of the time I didn't know where this was going
and what I was to do with this information I was being given. The
only thing I did know was that the lessons were helping me feel
better and my life was changing to reflect more Love, more of God
in my life. The lessons in the books focus on reaffirming the Truth
about each of us and looking to our God Presence to help us make
the Truths our Truths which will lead to our living better more
satisfying lives. What are these Truths? That we are where we need
to be at this point in our life experience. All that has come
before was necessary to make us the person we are today. In other
words we are perfect just as we are; That we are children of a
Loving Infinitely Patient God Presence that is with us always and
will help us in all things if we ask; That we are worthy of all
that is good and pleasing in the entire Universe just because we
are sons and daughters of the Universe; That our beliefs serve to
shape our life experience and if we change our beliefs we can
change our world; and That we are never alone and we are always
surrounded by the Love of God. My greatest desire is that these
lessons help the readers also come to know God, their God Presence,
so that they can also come to know how they can create the life
they desire right here on planet Earth.
