Past mediums have pioneered the field of psychic arts and sciences. We have called them mystics, intuitives, spiritualists, sensitives, etc. We benefit from their activism, and still learn from what has been written by and about these legends. Their gifts were so awesome and powerful, that they left an impact on the world. One of those legends is Emma Hardinge Britten.
Emma Hardinge Britten left an imprint on history because she channeled the ghost of Abraham Lincoln on April 15, 1865. She was a medium who dedicated her life to serving humanity, by way of Spirit. She learned different styles and facets of spiritualism. Her abilities were so strong, they impacted her everyday life, and became the channel thru which she served her community.
At a time before smart phones and data plans, Emma was visited by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, less than 6 hours after his death. She immediately gave an impassioned speech about the abolition of slavery and the murder of the president. Three thousand Londoners testified to her channeling of the deceased US President.
Ms. Britten inspired her generation, often helping people connect with their departed lovers, or teaching other mediums how she channeled. She was in touch with the frequency of Romantic Love, which is essential to a whole and complete human experience. She taught her students that self-care and rest are vital to success. Our bodies are our vehicles in this dimension, so take care of yours.
Emma was authentic and treated her gifts with professionalism and the highest regard. Her speech, “The Great Funeral Oration of Abraham Lincoln,” was published by American News Company, New York, and sold for $0.25 a copy.
The most important lesson is that as professional sensitives, we must work the way spirit works, and not the way we want to work. It’s a process of opening oneself up to new ways of learning and being. Thank you to everyone who made this work possible.
