Man does not come

To know the world

By that which he extorts

From it

But rather by that

Which he adds to it himself.

PAUL CLAUDEL

1868–1955

Betty’s world was all consuming. Her talents with healing, mediumship, clairvoyance, survival evidence and being a good listener took up literally all of her time – time she gave to others unselfishly. She would answer numerous phone calls from patients in desperate need of help, and no one was ever turned away. She would answer more than a thousand letters per week from equally needy people, and on top of all that would write her best-selling books. How did she do it? With great difficulty! There were just not enough hours in the day. The unbelievable events that happened in Betty’s world of spiritual work will never be forgotten, especially by her patients who visited her for a span of over 17 years. Her readers will continue to learn new abilities for themselves, for it was Betty’s dream that each one of us could become our own healer.

My hands touch the earth,

I look into the distance

No structure disturbs

The natural panoramic scenes,

I look up and watch

The swallows in flight

And the buzzard hovering

against the sky.

This is my world,

This is the way I want to live

In an environment

Where nature calls the tune

And humans adapt

To the song.

Where flowers re-seed themselves

And grow in erratic confusion

And trees lean with the prevailing wind

Which caresses the cheek.

Here in this place

I will remain

And spend the rest of my life

Observing

The nature of things.
