" the Curtain" -- visible and invisible -- and expound what they see. I don't know how many mediums I have seen, listened to , or read for,
altogether -- without coming to regard myself as
a medium. Some mediums, watching me as I spoke
before a huge painting of "The Last Supper" ,
saw entities around me I certainly didn't know
were there. And when I read for some of them ,
the most amazing material came forth. Because
I am, and have been for many years, a writer
of fiction, I've done much soul-searching on
the validity of my studies, feeling that the
writer's imagination might be corking overtime. Besides, people simply couldn't be that
wonderful ! But what I "imagined" was true, I
discovered, especially in the area of the
"marvelousness" of people. There is none, anywhere, who is not marvelous. I wish everybody
knew this. Having now done hundreds of studies
since I did some of the first at Zip Dobyns's
place in Tucson, Ariz., I have been amazed to
discover also how diversified is man. People
closely associated now have crossed trails before, down the generations, incarnations, and
ages, but each has walked his own trail, seeking his own salvation, and doing some mighty
works during the endless walk. Even I have.
Even you. Our work has all been somewhat comparable else we'd not be in incarnation together.

I believe the "desert's red hands" worked a
little better, with more finesse, in "The
House of Love " -- and this I say with no disloyalty to the desert or those with whom I worked
EOPLE, from those whom others call the
greatest to those whom others call the
least, are pretty marvelous. I've met some
of the most marvelous in recent weeks and
months, taking the "red hands" into areas
where needed. I've just returned to Paradise after spending a week in St. Petersburg,
Fla. I went there, via Tampa, after spending a
week in Melbourne -- but in this particular
piece, I wish to write about St.Petersburg,
and "The House of Love", so-called because it
is virtually a shrine to the late Dr.Love,
inventor of electronic devices hundreds of
years ahead of their time. The guardian angel
of this shrine is the Doctor's widow, Mandah
Love, who carries on much of the Doctor's work.
She is, and for some years has been, closely
associated with Masters of whom the world hears
little, tho it is constantly being "impressed"
by them. She is a beautiful woman and one of
the most efficient I have ever met. Under her
aegis people came to receive the" red hands", there and shall work again. The work was pinto experience N-Stress, and to be "studied". pointed because of much experience of such
