632.0. ""Elwood Babbitt or other past life readers??"" by FHQ::OGILVIE (is it Friday - yet?) Wed Jan 20 1988 19:27

    After going thru about ump_teen_zillion notes and replies, I need
    to ask:
           
    Has anyone heard of or been to see Elwood Babbitt (SP?).  A friend
    of mine was "read" by Dr. Fisher (Elwood's *spirit guide*) last
    year and a cassette was made of the reading.  I heard it and although
    it was mostly private to my friend, I found it fascinating.....
    also..... are there any past life *readers* in Central Mass.?? 
    I used to know of a few psychics in the area (years ago) but have been 
    out of touch. - Specifically, I'm not interested in anyone who uses 
    *tools" such as tea leaves, candles, cards, etc.
    
    
    You can send mail to me at SONATA::OGILVIE or reply here.
    
    Thanx for any/all info.

632.1Psychic in FraminghamAKOV11::BAUMEISTERThu Jan 21 1988 13:3910
    I went to a Psychic last night in Framingham.  She was excellent!
    She did not use any tools and she wrote down everything she said.
    I have six pieces of paper.  She charges $50.00 per hour, but worth
    it.  Her name is Lee, 872-5609.  If you decide to go, she will ask
    you who recommended you.  Tell her Connie Baumeister.
    
    Also, she was called upon to help solve the "Atlanta" murder case.
    
    Good luck.

632.2Info on ElwoodEXIT26::SAARINENTue Jan 26 1988 20:0243
    RE: 632
    
    I have read a book by the Full Trance Medium Elwood Babbit titled
    TALKS WITH CHRIST AND HIS TEACHERS. It is channeled conversations
    with Christ and his teachers Judy, Hosea and also talks with Serokas,
    Pontius Pilate and St. Luke. Pretty interesting book all in all,
    considering who is actually speaking through Elwood.
    
    I don't know him personally, but I did work with a Technical
    Illustrator in MRO2 who lived next door to him in Wendel Depot,
    MA. He said he was quiet and kept to himself, a friendly neighbor
    and you could call on him if you needed some kind of help, car stuck
    in a snowbank kind of thing etc.
    
    Here is an excert from his book:
    
        A LETTER FROM MR. BABBIT
    
    Dear Reader,
    
       Please understand that though I was the channel through
    which spiritual forces have expressed these messages to the
    world, yet I was not the author of their expressions. I was
    like the surface of a quiet lake reflecting the sun, and though
    I have spiritual experience to share with those seeking under-
    standing, I pretend to no spiritual authority. So, therefore,
    may you read what is written here and benefit therefrom, but
    know that I have no license to dispense final truth.  I am 
    but a telephone seeking to serve, performing a function of
    bringing close contact between spirit and those who desire
    that contact.
                                                  Elwood Babbit
                                                  Wendel Depot,      
                                                  Massachusetts
                                                               
    (This was written without the authors permission)
    
    The book is printed by The Church of Renaissance of Beauty,2001
    Center, PO Box 281, Turners Falls, Massachusetts 03176
                                                                         
    Regards,

    John M.,
    
    Oh yes the Trance Channeling Skeptic raises his infamous
    skeptical opinions again...... ;-)
    
    I recall something about a grave stone being rolled away and
    Christ's followers finding nobody inside after the crucifixion...
    
    Who rolled over in who's grave?????

632.5Elwood's ReadingAOHM::JACOBSRemember the FutureTue Feb 16 1988 13:5242
	Way back in 73 I read an article in Parade Magazine about Elwood so 
one quiet Sunday my at the time wife and I went to find him. After asking 
several people where he could be found we located his farm on an old dirt 
road in Wendall Depot. I was apprehensive of just dropping by but figured if 
he was as cool as he seemed in the article he wouldn't mind. We knocked on 
the door and a hippie girl (remember them?) from a local commune he was 
affiliated with, invited us in. 
	The room was warm and friendly and filled with people and cats. 
Elwood was busy doing a life reading in another room so we were invited to 
sit down and relax with the other people. A woman gave us coffee and introduced
us to the others. I don't remember all the people we met but one was a 
Professor Hapgood who was in the process of doing a book on Elwood. 
	Eventually Elwood appeared and the girl who invited us in 
introduced us to him. He seemed like a stereotype of an old country farmer 
and he greeted us warmly. He knew I wanted a life reading without me asking 
for one and explained that the "powers" only allow him to perform a 
limited number per day. He asked if I could come back Easter Sunday, a 
couple of weeks later.
	We returned on the appointed day and Elwood invited me into his den 
for the reading. He asked me if I had brought a cassette tape with me to 
record the reading and I said no. He said it was no problem and he got a 
spare tape from his desk. 
	He explained a little about his control spirit, a Doctor Fisher
and he began his trance. It is difficult for me to describe the 
transformation he went through but as I watched his face and then his body 
began to twitch then he said in a completely different voice said "This is 
Doctor Fisher taking control of the body". The difference in his voice and 
mannerisms was amazing. He then preceded to give me a reading of several 
past lives. He talked to me of my past and present lives for about a half 
hour and then asked if I had any questions for him. I asked a few questions 
which he answered and then he began his return to his normal personality. 
	Again I was impressed with the changes to his persona as the "Old 
Farmer"	returned. He asked me what I thought and we spoke for a little 
while. He seemed unaware of what he had told me. When he finished our talk 
he gave me the tape and walked me to the door. I asked him if I could pay 
him for the reading and the tape but he politely refused and said it was a 
gift. As I was leaving, he invited me to visit him again but as yet I 
haven't had the chance.
	Overall I was and am still quite impressed with Elwood and I still 
occasionally listen to the tape he gave me.

632.6Dr. Hapgood has PassedDEMING::BARKERFri Aug 18 1989 17:4627
    Just saw this note for the first time today.....I don't get around
    too much!                      
    
    Even though this reply is tad late, I'd like to re-open the 
    discussion on Elwood.  I too have been interested in him for some
    time but have never gotten to meet him.  I did talk to his "young"
    sounding wife on the phone once to inquire about an appearance and
    demonstration of his seemingly remarkable gifts at the Spritualist
    church in Watertown, MA.  
    
    By the way, she did tell me that Charles Hapgood - Elwood's writer
    in residence had passed away - seems that he had been tragically
    run over while crossing a road in Central MA.   I never did make
    the connection for his appearance at the church and never contacted
    them again.  I've seen him on television and he appears to be a
    genuinely good and humble man who happens to have the ability to
    channel the entity who calls himself Dr. Fisher.  
    
    On one particular show,  the interviewer asked the then manifest Dr. 
    Fisher where Elwood was at the moment.  Fisher replied that Elwood was 
    "exploring the universe", explaining that it was an opportunity for
    his host, who was free then of this earthly reins,  to seek the higher 
    wisdoms and enjoy the greater pleasures of the discanate realms.  It did
    sound better than "Club Med"!
