About this ebook

Blind since childhood, Mary Blount White was limited in what she could write. Yet after her brother and sister had died, she asked her father for a pencil and began to transcribe messages by automatic handwriting. She said, I felt as if I held a galvanic battery in my hand. Between 1913 and 1917 she received scores of letters from Harry and Helen, describing life after death. Their straight talk about the need for peace, tolerance of others, individual responsibility, and existence on other planes has impressed many and is still relevant today.This was one of the first books we published, and we've kept it in print because new people keep discovering it and thanking us for making it available. Note: The original publication date was 1987, although that date does not work on this Web form.

Ratings and reviews

“Letters...” is one of my all time favorite books. I’ve been a big fan of the Seth Books by Jane Roberts for many years. Those were the first “channeled” books I had run across that seemed to me to be clearly authentic. Since then I’ve been fascinated with channeled materials, although I find it all too rare to find materials that give me a sense of authenticity (or at least, minimally distorted and not obnoxiously flowery). Other good materials include the Edgar Cayce books, the Emmanuel books by Pat Rodgast and Judith Stanton and works by Eileen Caddy. I liked the Seth books for their clarity and depth, although they are very hard to read at anything faster than a snails pace. Not that they are boring or difficult to understand, but that they demand you stretch your imagination in ways you will never come across elsewhere. The Emmanuel books are much more fun and “lighter reading” and yet still maintain what I believe is “straight” information. (This still comes down to a sense that I “know it when I see it”. Sorry I can’t be more logical.) “Letters...” was, amazingly, one of the best books along these lines that I’ve ever come across. When I first read it, I was elated to finally find more material that gave me a clear sense of it’s authenticity. The book is full of surprises and ideas that are unique, if only in that - should we ever actually have a “line of communication” to the “other side”, we would never run out of questions, and therefore, never run out of surprising answers. This book is a joyful read, as well as thought-provoking one.
