Chapter Sixteen
Betty White and
Stewart E. White
Twentieth Century Perennialist Teachers Persons who carry out essential preparation, discover in the White books unequivocal proof of transformative teachings:
- The books speak to them at a completely different level each time they study them.
- With each reading, they contain entirely new, hitherto unrecognized meanings.
- The books contain methods for awakening and developing dormant organs of perception.
- Discernment of meanings and development of capabilities disclosed in the books require dedicated study over a period of time.
- The ideas in the book can appear, to a person not attuned to them, to be simplistic, extreme, trivial, or erroneous.
In March, 1918, Betty and Stewart Edward White had their first experience with the spirit world. At a party with friends, the Ouija board, being used as a parlor game, spelled the name "Betty" over and over again. When Betty took over the pointer, it spelled out a number of messages, including the advice to try "automatic writing." For over a year Betty and Stewart experimented with "automatic writing," receiving a number of messages which proved evidential. Betty was slowly led into another method in which she entered a higher state of consciousness, speaking in her own voice or the voice of another entity. The entities communicating through Betty declined to be identified, wishing to remain anonymous, and thus were named "the Invisibles" by the the Whites. - In the higher state of perception, Betty's ordinary consciousness was set aside. "The Invisibles" led her into another, higher world, teaching her to create a new identity. Stewart recorded the messages and experiences which Betty reported in her higher state of consciousness. "The Invisibles" indicated that they were not only teaching Betty to enter a higher world of spiritual consciousness but were interested in teaching all humans how to enter this world.
