Annalee Skarin II

Norman, I did not mean to offend you by posting a negative post on Annalee Skarin. They were someone else's words, not mine. I do believe that we should examine the pros and cons of all claims in the light of day. The easiest way to be deceived is just to believe and never question just as the rank and file in the Mormon and other churches do.

There is a copyrighted article on a website you referred me to. A positive write up on her is at: http://members.xoom.com/chalice156/skarin.htm

He ends his article with this statement:

"Whatever be the truth of the personal story of Annalee Skarin, there is no doubt of the power of her writings. Her books shall continue to inspire many to set out upon the pathway to the stars - the pathway of physical immortality. She is one of the pioneers of spiritual evolution on earth.

The pathway has been widened by her efforts." Robert Coon

I agree with this. I know Annalee's writings have inspired many people to break from religious dogma and seek the spiritual path. For this her efforts are to be praised. On the other hand, the cold hard facts seem to reveal that she lived and died a fairly normal life and must also be examined.

Norman Writes: "Do you feel a death certificate proves someone has not translated, or that they have simply died? My view is that if a death certificate or overwhelming evidence of some kind that someone has died, invalidates their having translated, then the transfiguration/translation of Jesus must present quite an enigma."

Here are facts that seem to be beyond dispute:

She died of heart disease at the age of 88 after spending two years in a nursing home in a wheelchair. This was definitely old age, but nothing out of the ordinary for disease and dying at that age.

A Translated being either lives on indefinitely or will live at least two normal lifetimes, generally in excellent health.

She may have had some great spiritual experiences in her life, but I see no evidence that any claim of translation is true - unless others out there have a far different definition of it than I do.

If you think she was translated, my question is how was she any more translated than was Mother Teresa or my Dad who died a while back?

I don't think Jesus is a comparable since he rose from the grave and Annalee did not. Death had no hold on him.
