Ruth Montgomery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruth Shick Montgomery (1912 - June 10, 2001) was an American journalist and self-described Christian psychic in the tradition of Jeane Dixon and Edgar Cayce. She was a protégée of Arthur Ford who claimed he (like Cayce) could access the Akashic Records (or database) of the Universe.
Montgomery initially believed her mission on Earth was to educate the public on her belief in life after death, which is common among spiritualists. However, she also studied reincarnation and came to believe that mental and physical illnesses often have their origins in past lives.
With other like-minded mystics, Montgomery founded the Association for Past Life Research and Therapy. Her many books (which she says were channelled via Automatic writing from her spirit guides) popularised spiritualist notions in public consciousness in the 1980s and 1990s, and paved the way for what is now known as New Age religion. Montgomery is particularly noted for her popularization of walk-in theory whereby a person's soul can depart a hurt or anguished body and be replaced with a new soul to take over the body.
In her books, Montgomery revealed that in a past incarnation she had been alive during the time of Christ and known as Lazarus' sister Mary.
Montgomery claimed that ancient advanced civilizations of Mu (lost continent) and Atlantis had destroyed themselves thousands of years in the pre-history of modern man. She said we would see remnants of the lost continent of Atlantis rise from the sea in the late 20th Century.
Montgomery predicted (allegedly with the help of her spirit guides) that World War III would begin when New York was attacked. Although Montgomery's guides allegedly stated quite clearly that humans have free will and can make their own decisions regarding their destiny, if world attitudes did not change then the event was inevitable. The event in question was predicted to occur in the late 1990s. Montgomery also predicted America would have a "walk-in" as president in the late 1990s.
