Hi Bob,

I agree with you whole heartedly on Scallion, but Cayce's work primarily had to do with healing. Only occasionally did something come through regarding earth changes. In the 11,000 readings he did they were for healing. Cayce was a poor man all of his life and didn't charge for the readings he did for healing purposes. People offered him various things for his services like food and such. The only real money he made in life came when he was a photographer and from what I've learned, he was quite good at it.

Today at the Research Center For Enlightenment, his readings can be borrowed for helping others. The books that have been written about him are mostly authored by his son. The best of the lot though was written by Thomas Segure (sp) called, 'There is A River."

I agree with you to some extent about the cost of some kinds of information, however, there is a cost to religion. If you have a church, then the pastor has to be paid, he needs a staff and the building has utilities and costs for upkeep. The Holy See is the largest business on the planet. That's life, it has costs attached to it.

Knowing you the little I do, in a very positive way, I'd love to see you write a book about raising a family in the wilderness. I feel you are very touched by the life you lead and I think a place like Mountain Press Publishing in Montana might find a what you have to offer attractive. It won't make you a rich by a longshot, but to offer others your poignant view might make for some fine fireside reading. Both Emerson and Thoreau made life near nature bountiful reading.

Yes, we are all somewhat frail individuals in one sense or another, however, if we keep in mind that whatever we do may never cause us to be brought to the eyes of the public in a demeaning light, then we will have lived to a higher standard. Just as the statement about never putting your name on anything you are not proud of.

You have given me and perhaps others in your words today something to think about or perhaps many things. Thanks.

Petra
