Claiming Your Mind, Claiming Your Sovereignty

Anne Elizabeth Ph.D.

Description

As a healer and a seeker of truth, Dr. Anne Elizabeth has been searching
for the origins of consciousness, thinking, and spiritual connection
throughout her lifetime. She has explored many philosophies and
found the work of Rudolf Steiner; a most comprehensive diamondmind
view of our relationship to the cosmos and ourselves. She has
experienced many spiritual contacts as well as spiritual pilgrimages
to England, France and Spain following the path of Mary, the mother
of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and continues her quest for spiritual
sovereignty in connection with her Future Self and the support of the
Marconics Chronos Guild.
Through the many spiritual pathways explored, Dr. Elizabeth has found
the work of Rudolf Steiner and anthroposophy to hold a deep global
and comprehensive perspective of the connections between our earth,
our planet and the ways in which we are infl uenced by the planetary
system in which we live. Beyond this matrix, Dr. Elizabeth discovered the
Marconics Chronos Guild which facilitated her healing and ascension
process with her Future Self into enduring grace multidimensionality.

Dedication
So many people to thank for their support and wisdom: teachers, mentors, authors, and friends. I acknowledge my mother Emma Louise Richards Bausch and father Henry Melchior Muhlenberg Richards, my parents, who gave me a steppingstone on which to stand to begin life’s journey. I also want to mention the unseen forces of the “spiritual” world that played a tremendous role in directing and guiding me in myriad ways. I want to thank my Future Self, for providing access to the portals for healing spiritual dimensions.
A heartfelt thanks to my editors Hannah Sheinkman, Marnie Mueller, and George Centanni for their line editing and insights which helped me to focus the presentation of this material more clearly. And to those at Balboa press who helped with the production of this book and its audio version. I am deeply grateful to all for your patience and perseverance in this endeavor.

Dear Reader,
I ask the question whose thoughts am I thinking? Are they mine or do they belong to my parents or mentors that I have engaged through life? I am searching for a sense of my own mind, my thoughts, and their origins. I want to sort out that which truly belongs to me and that which I have incorporated which no longer fits with who I feel myself to be.
Even though people have died, they live in our memory: those who have had a positive effect and those who have not. Obviously, those that we have loved or been close to tend to be imprinted positively and indelibly in our hearts. Those who have hurt or abused us live in our memory in a negative way and can eat at our souls, much as a parasite would eat its host.
When we think of shared moments either pleasant or not, these thoughts live inside us, and with time these memories can morph and shift focus, either to include more positive or more negative reflection. Sometimes someone else’s account adds more information which enlarges one’s perspective or reveals a more positive side of a person. Of course, the reverse can happen as well, and a more negative or even sinister aspect can surface. This can contribute to the experience of someone, disappearing from your life in gradual or sudden way. Or it can contribute to the experience of one’s unexpected delight at a new and unexpected connection which seems to grow out of the blue.
Do we ever really know anyone else’s mind deeply, especially our own mind? I think not. This is true for me and my consciousness, but also that of my parents who raised me and with whom I have relied for introduction to and explanation about the world we live in. Even though we have lived for a time together, this does not mean I know what they really think or feel. Now, since they are gone, I can only guess and surmise what they thought and why. Moreover, they did not know what I thought or how I felt. This memoir is an opportunity to inform them about what I thought and felt and how these feelings and thoughts changed throughout time.
So much of life is about this struggle to unmask hidden meanings, thoughts, and experiences that occur internally as well as externally in the world. Even when we think we have found meaning, this meaning evaporates or morphs into something else over time. We thought we knew the whole picture, but it turns out we only knew a portion of the truth. We knew it for the time being but who we became through experience and travelling brings out a new set of variables, and ultimately a new sense of self.
My quest is to find my own mind, to heal my mind and consciousness, by separating it from the mind of my parents, friends, teachers, or other mentors who had an impact on my life. New information from many different sources, brings about a recapitulation of the pieces of a puzzle which results in a different perspective and ultimately a different lens with which to view the world and oneself. After many nights and days of stirring the primordial stew, I returned to the original idea and knew it from a different perspective. This was the case when I determined that I needed to find a way to communicate with my parents and loved ones through letters, even though they are dead.
I had been writing letters for years using old onion skin backing with carbon paper on an old corona typewriter and keeping copies in my notebooks. Most of the originals were sent. Over time it was great to look back on these copies and remember thoughts and associations with people who were no longer in my life but who had meant something to me at the time. I thought that writing this memoir in letter format was a way to share with others especially my parents who I was and who I have become: a way to become intimate with myself even in their absence.
Intimacy did not seem possible while my parents were alive, for many reasons. The walls of their own beliefs, the ones they were raised with, coupled with their own transgenerational abusive patterns from their families of origin created a fog through which truth became distorted and ultimately lost, or put on hold until such a time when it was possible to communicate with clarity. But this truer knowing did not occur to me while they were alive.
Nevertheless, I have arrived at the letter format as an informal and viable tool to know myself and others through an intimate way of communicating. This differs from the truncated messaging we have now become accustomed to through e-mail, messaging and other cyber tools which have come into vogue and have largely replaced the written letter. I want to bring the letter back to the front burner as a way of communicating, sharing, and rejoining with others: those who are still alive like friends, teachers, and others with whom I have shared ideas and perspectives. They too can be addressed through
