8.2 Ask For It - “No matter how barred the way appears, go on." Harrie Vernette Rhodes

A short gem of insight into the spiritual power in the universe from Chapter 8. I am putting this into its own video, so you don’t miss it.

Healer and mystic Harrie Vernette Rhodes tells about how this healing power works, both for healing and for creating a meaningful life, a sense of belonging, of the harmony that connects us all, beyond just the material world.

If you are new to this series, see the notes below for context and a link to the playlist for this book. Harrie Vernette Rhodes accessed information similar to Neville Goddard, long before he started his journey and she was doing hands-on-healing work before Edgar Cayce. She also never reached that level of fame, despite having found her way to access the universal forces, of a God who is the spirit of nature and resonates with love. She talks as if you were in a conversation with her, personal and not trying to sell her ideas or beliefs. She is just telling her story.

"In the One Spirit" is the biography of Harrie Vernette Rhodes, my great-grandmother.

What if you had an usual story like this in your family history? Few of the incredible family stories make it into a book that brings the events and most importantly the context to life. The most interesting part to me is that she believes that everyone can learn to see and do incredible (as in unbelievable) things if they put aside some of the concepts of modern views of reality. I am amazed at how many of the things she says are highly relevant today as a way to reduce stress in your life among other things. More on this as we get deeper into her story.

This book was written about my great-grandmother, so it has always been a curiosity in the family. Was it possible that she could do the many things that are talked about in later chapters. The magical parts, the healing and her many experiences talking with the spiritual realm are shared in "this is my life, no big deal" sort of way, whether helping a blind child see or mundane events of daily life for someone born in 1871.

The co-author Margueritte Harmon Bro brought the first viral attention to the American seer Edgar Cayce, "Miracle Man of Virginia Beach," published in the magazine Coronet in 1943. After that, she heard many stories of physics ad healers. Despite this, the author found only two people interesting enough to write about - Edgar Cayce and Harrie Vernette Rhodes. This autobiography of great-grandmother was book published in 1951.
