4.2 Adventures in Healing - saving lives, curing blindness, and Sleighride with Pioneers

This is the second part with Harrie's most spectacular cases of healing. (Timestamps below)

An unexpected phone call takes Harrie on an epic journey first by train, then through the snow with horses pulling a sleigh. Not just one sleigh, but a tag team of rural pioneers who each took her on portion of a wild pony express style journey to make a distant house-call in North Dakota. Then the chapter ends lacing more of her philosophy along with more amazing episodes that she tells in the same matter-of-fact way she does and that her work is about the creation of wholeness.

As with today, the people willing to engage a healer are often extreme cases who were written off by mainstream doctors. So she worked with many extreme conditions including curing congenital blindness in 14 children over her career.

This autobiography of Harrie Vernette Rhodes, "In The One Spirit" 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 told in the same matter of fact way that she tells of riding in the horse drawn wagon with her father to deliver medicines to people.

• Harrie Vernette R...

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.

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.
