Ruth Montgomery was an award winning journalist in the 1940’s through the 1960’s. She excelled in this male-dominated field of journalism and was highly respected and accomplished. She was known as being both objective and accurate and in 1950 solidified her position at the top of her field by being elected president of the Women’s National Press Club.
Later in her career she took an unprecedented turn in her professional path. During the end of the 1950s she commenced a journalistic investigation into psychic phenomena. She began this investigation as a skeptic, uncovering many cases of fraud amid some spiritual practitioners.
Around 1958 she met up with the renowned psychic medium Arthur Ford. They struck up a friendship and his psychic abilities proved to add credibility to the idea that there may be something beyond the veil of our physical world.
Automatic Writing was something Ruth had heard of in her paranormal studies but Arthur further educated her in its practice. Automatic Writing occurs when an individual in a meditative or trance-like state will write or draw messages that they are consciously unaware of writing. These messages or drawings are said to be channeled from the other side.
Out of complete respect for her friend’s abilities and trust in what he relayed from the other side, Ruth decided to give it a try. After many tries she had succeeded and was astonished to read messages from her deceased loved ones along with beautiful philosophy in a hand other than her own. One discarnate identified himself as Lily and he gathered a group of spirits whom Ruth began to communicate with frequently.
“After his death Arthur Ford joined the writing group, and I now refer to them collectively as the Guides.” – Ruth Montgomery
Together with the guides Ruth wrote several books about her automatic writing transmissions and the other side’s philosophies on life, death, spiritual progression and prayer. She was brave beyond her time to write about such a topic and along with her family and friends was nervous about how she would be received after publishing such books. She found however, that she was very well received by enough people that she felt she had made a breakthrough.
Indeed she did and she went on to tour the country signing books, giving speeches, attending parties, doing personal appearances as well as television appearances and so on. With her work she opened many minds and saved many lives.
When she died in June of 2001, her work continued. Ruth became one of the Guides. She is now communicating to a family in New England and continues, along with the guides, to dispense information and advice on life in the physical world. The family published the first of their own series of books on Ruth’s communications titled, “Ruth Montgomery Writes Again!”.
