CHRIST talks #18 ☩ Charles Hapgood, Elwood Babbitt the Medium 12. 19. 76

One of the world's few full trance mediums, Elwood Babbitt, brings you direct conversations with the spirit of Christ, discussing and clarifying his teachings and the facts of his life. In addition to talks with Christ himself, the book contains talks with his father, Joseph, Pontius Pilate and St. Luke. It also contains talks with four of his teachers, including Judy, head of Essene Order, who is mentioned by Cayce as one of Christ's teachers. We learn of Jesus's three year initiation in a spiritual center in Syria, where he mastered the use of his spiritual powers. We learn of his later disappointment with his disciples, and of disapproval of much Church doctrine. Most important, we learn of his twin purposes in his mortal life: to teach men the immortality of the soul, and the primacy of love, which is the magnet and compass of man's life on earth, the guide by which he finds his way to his ultimate goal​Presented by one of America's leading scientists, Professor Charles H. Hapgood, who works have revolutionized our concepts of the history of the earth, and the ancient history of man. Hapgood is a retired university teacher who used his students to help him break open new paths in geology, archeology and psychic research. Some of his books are: Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, Earth's Shifting Crust, Path of the Pole and Voices of Spirit. In this book he combines his devotion to scientific principles with spiritual insight.THE HAGOOD BABBITT EXPERIENCE Hapgood spent ten years working with New England medium Elwood Babbitt of Orange Massachusetts, making contact with notable figures from the past. Babbitt, a retired carpenter, and World War II veteran had studied trance mediumship at Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment. Hapgood audiotaped and transcribed a number of Babbitt's "trance lectures" from Jesus, Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, and the Vishnu FORCE, using the material to publish his final three books: Voices of Spirit, Through the Psychic Experience of Elwood Babbitt (1975), Talks with Christ and His Teachers Through the Psychic Gift of Elwood Babbitt (1981), and The God Within a Testament of Vishnu, a Handbook for the Spiritual Renaissance (1982). During this time Babbitt and Hapgood's cousin, Beth Hapgood worked closely with the nearby Brotherhood of the Spirit New Age commune. After Charles Hapgood's death, Beth Hapgood assembled a final volume of Babbitt's trance lectures, Dare the Vision and Endure (1997).NOTE: Charles Hutchins Hapgood was an American college professor and author who became one of the best-known advocates of the pseudoarchaeological claim of a rapid and recent pole shift with catastrophic results.
