Your letter was like the drawing up of a curtain.

Wondering about the more than 200 books Lexer Tami Orr (Writing between the Lines, page 8) has written? (And she still finds time for letters!) Here's a link to many of them. You can also read an interview with Tami at Home Education Magazine, and if you don't want to wait until the next issue of LEX to see what she's writing about, check out the magazine itself. |
| The World of Letters | |
|
"I see as I write, my thought goes down and becomes a mass of words, and so is a letter." This description by Wadsworth's aunt of the process of writing a letter through a medium is a good description of how those of us still in the realm of the living do it. The letters of Wadsworth and others are in some ways reminiscent of the Seth books, and in other ways paint a very different picture of the afterlife. They were originally privately printed and later published by a metaphysical publisher; there's a scanned edition as recent as 2010 available at some online bookstores. |
