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.
