Welcome to Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
The night featuring Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
art bell
From the high desert in the great American Southwest.
I bid you all good evening.
Good morning, as the case may be, across whatever time zone you reside in.
From the Hawaiian and Tahitian Island chains in the west, eastward to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Good morning out there.
South into South America.
North all the way to the Pole.
And of course, worldwide on the internet.
This is Coast to Coast.
And good morning, I'm Mark Bell.
Coming up in a moment, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
An interview I've been waiting a long time for.
It is a rare opportunity for you to hear Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
She doesn't do a lot of interviews.
And we'll talk about that.
So we'll get to Elizabeth Clare Proffitt in a moment.
Elizabeth Clare Proffitt Now, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
She is a mystic, writer, lecturer, and spiritual teacher.
But first and foremost, she is a messenger for enlightened spiritual beings called Ascended Masters.
As a messenger, she is both spokesman and scribe, speaks and writes down the words of the masters.
In this role, she has recorded some of the world's most beautiful and profound spiritual teachings.
The vast body of work she has produced includes more than 1,800 messages, or if you wish, dictations, that come through the agency of the Holy Spirit from various ascended masters, archangels, and other advanced spiritual beings.
She and her late husband, Mark L. Prophet, have published more than 75 books, wow, on the teachings of the ascended masters.
These include the bestsellers, St. Germain on Alchemy, The Human Aura, The Lost Years of Jesus, and The Lost Teachings of Jesus.
And I have much more I could read about Elizabeth, but instead I will simply go to her.
Elizabeth, Claire Prophet, welcome to the program.
elizabeth clare prophet
Thank you so much for having me.
art bell
It is a rare opportunity to be able to interview you at all.
You don't do a lot of them, do you?
elizabeth clare prophet
I haven't done it recently, but I'm going to get back on track.
art bell
Back on track, huh?
Right.
I think I would rather have you sort of tell your own story, Elizabeth.
In other words, when Elizabeth Claire Prophet, the regular woman, came to be changed?
elizabeth clare prophet
I had a profound changing experience when I was four years old.
And this was the beginning of my spiritual life in this incarnation.
I was playing in the sand in my sandbox that my father had built for me.
It was a beautiful day.
It was blue skies and clouds.
And my parents had beautiful gardens that we worked together in.
And all of a sudden, I found that I was no longer in Red Bank, New Jersey, playing in my sandbox, but I was on the Nile River in Egypt.
art bell
Egypt.
elizabeth clare prophet
In Egypt.
And there I was, four years old, still, but I was in a different life.
And I knew I was in a different life.
And there were people around me.
There was a governess or an attendant.
And I was slipping the sand through my fingers.
And after I was there for a while and got a hold of where I was and what I was doing, I came back, almost on those clouds, back to my play yard, back to my sandbox.
And when I collected myself, I ran up to the back door and I called my mother and I said, this is what has happened to me.
Please explain it to me.
What did happen to me?
And because I had a wise mother, she did not deny me.
She told me, in very simple terms, that I had remembered a past life.
So that was the beginning of my understanding that I had a mission.
3,300 years before, I had lived in Egypt in that life at the time of Ikhenaten.
And I recalled it, and I also saw very clearly in Mark Prophet, my late husband, the very same profile of Ikhenaten.
art bell
Elizabeth, can you recall when you were in Egypt, can you recall a physical form?
Can you recall, in other words, was it with the clarity of a conscious experience in the here and now?
Or was there something different about it?
elizabeth clare prophet
It was very concrete.
It was as simple as sand flowing between your fingers.
I was just as real and concrete and physical in my own sense of it, at least.
And there was just nothing to it.
It was as easy as it was soul travel when I knew nothing about soul travel and the word hadn't even been coined.
art bell
Yes, a lot of talk about it now, soul travel.
So that began an obvious change for you.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, I then decided, well, I have to find a church.
I have to find out about God.
I have to find out what Jesus wants me to do because I know I have a mission in this life.
And so I went to every church in town and I found that much of what was being said was like a milk soft.
It really wasn't getting to the core of inner communion with God as a mystical path, as something we live every day of our lives.
And I was finding a Christianity that I knew was not right.
I knew in my own heart that Jesus taught the mysteries and that he gave them to the inner circle and then to the wider circle of the other 70.
And that somehow world religion today or Protestantism and Christianity itself, Catholicism, were simply not willing to tell the truth about the message of Jesus Christ.
And it became a fire that would burn in me that I could not put out.
I had to follow that fire until I would have all the answers.
art bell
You are convinced that there is a big missing part of Christianity not told that involves the teachings of reincarnation.
Is that about right?
elizabeth clare prophet
That's absolutely true, that reincarnation was removed in 325 A.D. in the Council of Nicaea.
art bell
I believe that is absolutely correct, yes.
Why was it taken out?
Was it a fear?
elizabeth clare prophet
It was a control factor.
As they recrafted Christianity and stripped out everything that was wonderful about Jesus Christ and the saints, they wound up with the theory of reincarnation that was kind of a leftover.
And what happened was they realized that they would never be able to control their followers if they retained reincarnation.
So they threw it out.
They absolutely threw it out because they wanted people to know that they only had one life, one chance to make it.
They'd either go to heaven or hell.
And if they had left the people to reincarnation, they can say, well, we won't go to church in this life.
We'll go on our next life.
art bell
It would also affect the fear of death itself, I suppose.
And as you point out, control.
elizabeth clare prophet
Absolutely control.
Constantine thought it would be a good idea to consolidate Christianity, and he was convinced by everyone else that reincarnation could not be left in because then you could not control the people.
So their theory was the way you get to heaven is through the church, when in reality, what Jesus taught us, we get to heaven through the flame, the eternal flame of God that burns on the altar of our individual heart.
art bell
So you in no way deny Jesus.
You simply deny the accuracy of his teachings.
No, that's wrong.
I'm sorry.
The way they were passed on.
elizabeth clare prophet
That's right.
And Origen of Alexandria and many very sharp people were not able to undo this.
So Nicaea led inevitably to the rejection of reincarnation, since reincarnation goes along with the idea that salvation is a matter of individual effort rather than status in the church.
art bell
Elizabeth, what do you consider to be the best evidence for reincarnation?
Regressive hypnosis, that sort of thing?
What is the best evidence?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think the best evidence comes to us when God sends an angel to us because we are ready to receive an understanding that we've had a recent past life.
And that angel opens that past life to us and says, oh, okay, these are the good things you did in that life and you've made a lot of progress in your field, etc., etc.
But these are the other things, the negatives, that are not so good.
So the angel comes to warn you, get on the track of love because love is the fulfilling of the whole law and move on with your life.
art bell
Well, I believe that.
elizabeth clare prophet
No, I think that when we are ready, we don't even need to have hypnotic regression because God comes and tells us about our mission.
art bell
There has been, though, impressive evidence rendered by a lot of studies, you know, done by clinicians with regressive therapy and taking people back into prior lives.
elizabeth clare prophet
That's true, and I'm sure that a lot of it is accurate, and some of it may not be accurate.
But people are trying because people want to know what is the continuity of life.
art bell
It's the biggest question of all.
elizabeth clare prophet
That's right.
art bell
And you're saying there certainly is a continuity of life.
Now, I have a whole bunch of questions about reincarnation.
Is it an endless process?
elizabeth clare prophet
No, it's not endless.
art bell
It's not endless.
elizabeth clare prophet
It is not endless.
We come to this world, and this world is a schoolroom.
We learn our lessons here.
We come back again and again because in the course of being here, we may wrong life.
We may move against life.
We may suddenly decide that we're jealous about something that's happened in our world, and here we are making karma.
So on the path of reunion with God, it must be a path of love and a path of the Holy Spirit.
And it must be individual to us within the innermost recesses of our being, the secret chamber of the heart.
art bell
There are a lot of obvious questions about reincarnation, and I guess they're answered by karma, but I've never fully understood them.
For example, it seems as though people in this life, a lot of them, the bad guys, get to live long, luxurious, wealthy lives, and a lot of poor people who are do-gooders seem to suffer, and they are the poor and the starving all over the world.
It just sort of doesn't make sense to me.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, Paul says, God is not mocked.
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
And what we are doing and what we are seeing is we are reaping the good and the bad of our past lives.
And we are sowing again, hopefully, for a better harvest.
And because we do not see that these power people themselves have a tremendously heavy karma and that God is dealing with them, then we begin to feel, well, God is unjust.
Whereas if you take the poor people in the world who have nothing, they have a certain karma that they are working through also.
And We can help them by our love by sending them food, clothing, and so forth.
I mean, we are here to help the poor.
And we have to realize that this power elite, a certain part of it, is not even the type of people that most people are on earth.
These are powerful beings that are fallen angels that move on the left side, the left side of the coin, if you will have it.
And they come to an end.
And that's why John the Baptist went out into the wilderness and called them a generation of vipers who hath warned you to come out here when you have done all these evil wrongs.
So John the Baptist was challenging them all the way.
But what the children of God have to become is sons of God and to look for the empowerment of God to ultimately challenge these fallen ones who move in our midst to control the monies of our institutions, of our countries, and do manipulate society.
unidentified
Is there a war going on now?
elizabeth clare prophet
There are wars within our members.
Like I could have a warring within my member where one part of me is at opposition to another part of me.
And then there are threatenings of world war.
There are always people on this planet.
art bell
no i meant on a spiritual plane in other words you you mentioned i No, just a very strong present conflict between whatever it is that creates evil now on Earth and our Creator.
It seems like there's a war going on, and I sometimes think the dark forces are winning.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, the war has been going on a long time.
Aliens arrived on planet Earth, according to Zachariah Sitchin, about half a million years ago.
And there's a certain group of people in this world who will never say die.
They will always be engaged in some time of war, some type of war, and also in the desire to amass wealth and territory.
And that still is in the minds of the adversaries in the United States and throughout the world.
War is still a business in this world.
unidentified
Certainly is.
art bell
I have written a book myself.
You've got a brand new book.
I wrote a book, and I'll just briefly tell you about it and see if I can get a comment from you.
It's called The Quickening, Elizabeth, and I've spent about 13 years in this incarnation of this radio show.
And during that time, every day, religiously, I study the news.
And I have noticed over the last decade or so that events in every single area of human endeavor, social, political, geophysical, economic, in every endeavor of human activity, events appear to be accelerating at an exponential rate.
And I just called it the quickening.
It's just a name I gave to it.
But it seems to me that we are headed for an event.
I am not a prophet, and I don't know what that event would be, but I see us racing toward something at an ever-increasing speed.
What might that be?
elizabeth clare prophet
We move in cycles, so we are at the conclusion of the Piscean Age.
The cycles are approximately 2,150 years.
And, for instance, during the age of Pisces, we have reincarnated again and again.
And some of us have sown well and reaped well, and others of us have gotten into all kinds of different practices in the Middle Ages of witchcraft, black magic, and so forth.
What's happening is when you come to the end of an age, there is a recompense.
And all of us who have been in the age of Pisces need to balance the karma we made in that age, the good karma and the bad karma.
And if we come out on top with more good karma than bad karma, that's good.
But many times, because people do not have real spiritual teachers, they don't have guides, they don't have prophets, and the dark ages descend, the people do not know the way to go.
And so we find ourselves making karma when we should be balancing karma.
So the karma of the Piscean Age has fallen due, and it is accelerated, and it is coiling down into the physical plane.
It started out in the etheric level, then it goes to the mental belt, then it goes to the desire body of the earth, and then it finally hits the earth body itself.
And that's when diseases come about, all kinds of wars, all kinds of tornadoes, hurricanes, upheavals, deaths, all kinds of strange things start happening because individual karma is being visited upon each one of us.
art bell
Well, that's exactly what I see coming.
I've got a kind of a favorite analogy, maybe not a very good one, but I think an accurate one.
There was a time in this country when if somebody wanted to rob a little 7-Eleven or a convenience store, you know, they'd go in with a gun and say, give me your money.
And they'd put it in the bag and back out the door, get in the car and speed away.
Today's robbery seems to include going in with a gun, saying, give me your money, and then as an afterthought on the way out, with no regard for life whatsoever, killing the guy behind the counter, then speeding off.
In other words, there has been a cheapening of life.
It doesn't mean what it once did.
elizabeth clare prophet
I agree with you, totally.
It's frightening, and I think it starts with mothers going to work.
And mothers have to be home with their children.
Otherwise, they don't have that nurturing and that sense of reverence for life.
art bell
In your view, Elizabeth, is there any turning back or is our course in this acceleration of events unalterable?
elizabeth clare prophet
Did you say unalterable?
art bell
Alterable, yes.
Are we unable to change what is coming, whatever it happens to be?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think that permanent change comes through the Holy Spirit.
And I think we should all be communing with the Holy Spirit.
We should know that the Holy Spirit is not just a spirit, but also a very high master who is called the Great Lord, the Maha Johan.
art bell
All right.
Elizabeth Claire Prophet, hold on.
We're at the bottom of the hour, and we will be right back.
You might want to stay planted right where you are.
My guest is Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
She hasn't been doing a lot of interviews, but kind of back on the circuit.
She's got a brand new book.
Fascinating title.
It's called Reincarnation, The Missing Link in Christianity.
Dare you read.

You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM.
Coast to Coast AM.
Coast to Coast AM.
Amen.
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
art bell
It is exactly that.
My guest is Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and she'll be right back.
unidentified
The End.
art bell
Once again, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Elizabeth?
elizabeth clare prophet
Hi.
art bell
Hi.
I would like to deal with a little bit with you with the essence or what really is on what we call the other side.
It's humanity's greatest question.
Is there any simple answer to it, or is it a complicated answer?
In other words, when we die, what occurs?
Where do we go?
elizabeth clare prophet
I'm very grateful that you brought this question to the fore because I wanted to talk about suicide.
art bell
Good.
elizabeth clare prophet
Suicide is not an out.
And in reality, those who commit suicide find out very quickly that they do not move from where they committed that suicide.
art bell
They don't move?
elizabeth clare prophet
Yes, they do not have the skill of locomotion.
They have a soul, but they no longer have a functioning body.
They have a mind, but they cannot use the physical body any longer.
So the first thing they find out when they commit suicide is that they can't get anywhere.
They're stuck.
So whereas this group of individuals thought that they were going somewhere or other to a better place, they did not really know the rule or the law of suicide where I've seen it over and over and over again.
The person who commits suicide, his astral body, the part of him that is not physical, simply gets stuck there.
So what I see happening in this house as this event unfolds and takes place is that these individuals woke up to the fact after they committed suicide that they have gotten nowhere, guilt.
They're not going anywhere.
So now, as they have discovered that suicide is not the answer, they're engaged in arguing, fighting with each other.
They're not touching each other, but they are reaching a level of being absolutely furious because they've been duped and now they can't get back into their bodies.
I don't believe in Kvorkian or anybody else's reasons for suicide.
I think it's really playing with life and death.
So what we have here is a group of souls who are stuck.
art bell
They don't reincarnate?
elizabeth clare prophet
I'm talking about these individuals in the mansion.
art bell
Yeah, in Los Angeles.
Right, that's what I'm saying.
They're literally their spirit or their soul.
And by the way, may I ask, is the spirit and the soul the same thing?
elizabeth clare prophet
No, not really.
If you take soul with a lowercase S, you find out that the soul that is within us and it is attached to the solar plexus chakra, actually it's attached to the seat of the soul chakra just below the solar plexus.
That is the place where the soul Resides in our bodies.
And that soul does not have immortality until that soul becomes the bride of her Holy Christ self, who is at a much higher plane.
So, as long as the soul does not have immortality because she has not balanced her karma, she is vulnerable to going through death.
So, what we want to do, what is our responsibility as people, is to protect our soul and to elevate that soul until that soul becomes the bride of Christ within us.
Then we make the step from our mortality to our immortality.
I don't know if you've heard the Blessed Mother of our Lord, but she has counseled us to pray unceasingly for souls who will die unless they come into union with God before the end of this life.
And that's part of being at the end of the age of Pisces.
art bell
Can a Buddhist achieve that?
elizabeth clare prophet
Anyone can achieve union with God.
Anyone can nurture the soul so that the soul then becomes a part of the reality of ourselves.
Our highest reality is the I am that I am, the manifestation of God as Moses taught us.
And then comes the mediator between that God and our lower self.
And that mediator is the Holy Christ self.
And each one of us has the Holy Christ self.
And sometimes we call that person our guardian angel.
The Holy Christ self is our mentor and teacher.
And he stays with us lifetime after lifetime after lifetime.
And when we walk and talk with him and commune with him, he teaches us profound truths.
But if we're not listening, because we have too much noise all around ourselves, then we don't hear what the angels are saying to us from inner planes and from the heaven world.
art bell
Well, we have a lot of noise going on in this world of ours today.
You believe there are many planes of existence, etheric, astral, metal.
elizabeth clare prophet
But many divisions of those planes according to what people have done in their previous lives.
art bell
So many, many divisions.
elizabeth clare prophet
Many divisions, yes.
The very high levels of the heaven world are in the planes of nirvana and beyond.
art bell
I interviewed the late Robert Monroe before he died.
Have you read his writings?
elizabeth clare prophet
No, I haven't.
art bell
You have not?
No.
He talked about the various planes as well, and I was just wondering if you would, but apparently not.
elizabeth clare prophet
I should get a hold of that book.
Getting back to these individuals in this mansion, loved ones should pray for them that their souls be taken out of that mansion and to a plane of existence where they can understand where they went wrong and why suicide is never acceptable in the sight of God.
They need a lot of prayers, otherwise they're going to be stuck right where they are.
art bell
Elizabeth, when, say, these 39, actually in America, in the last year we had stats for it, 1995, 30,800 people committed suicide.
Now, there are a lot of records of hauntings and spirits seen or heard or felt or Poltergeiser.
There's a million names for them.
Are these beings that, for the reasons we're talking about now, are stuck here in effect?
elizabeth clare prophet
The soul of the deceased is stuck wherever we are, that's where we lie, you know, in a conclusion after a fashion.
So what we're saying here is the soul is sealed in the seat of the soul chakra, and that soul must move to gain her immortality.
These individuals need to have their loved ones, and all of us pray for them to get out of this level where they are stuck and into a realm of the heaven world where they can learn what went wrong, why it went wrong, and how not to do it again the next time you have an opportunity to once again be born through a mother and have life again.
art bell
When you received news of the cult suicide at Rancho Santa Fe, how did you react?
elizabeth clare prophet
I felt tremendously aghast because I've seen this happen so many times where people think suicide is an out.
And it came to me as just another excuse, another reason not to face life and face its challenges.
And if I could only get that one message to people that if you commit suicide, you are going nowhere.
And it may take you a long time before you find another mother to bring you into this world so that you can fulfill your reason for being.
art bell
So in other words, you've got to play your hand out all the way, wherever it leads, however it goes.
elizabeth clare prophet
Absolutely.
I mean, that's the joy of life.
We don't know what's coming around the band.
It could be pain, sorrow, and it could be followed by a tremendous victory.
At any time, we would cut off our life.
art bell
we might lose the best of it you have uh...
in montana elizabeth built uh...
What do you say you have there?
Is it a ranch?
Is it a place where people simply gather to hear your message?
elizabeth clare prophet
We have a community, which is a community of the Holy Spirit.
And we produce our publications and our teachings.
We have a center where we nourish our churches throughout the world.
We're located all over the world.
And we publish our books.
We nurture those who are in our centers around the world.
And it's an ongoing mission to bring the lost teachings of Jesus Christ into the Aquarian Age and to learn from St. Germain, the hierarch of the Aquarian Age, how to use the violet flame to transmute our karma.
art bell
When does the Aquarian Age begin?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, you know, ages seem to crisscross.
It seems like the Piscean Age has been coming for the last 400 years.
It gets stronger and stronger and stronger.
And overlapping it is the Aquarian Age that is also coming in but has had its beginnings earlier.
So there is that overlapping when Pisces and Aquarius move together and then finally Pisces is concluded and we really feel the winds of Aquarius for what they are.
art bell
So we're in that period of change now?
elizabeth clare prophet
Yes, we're in that transition right now.
art bell
How long will that last?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, the age of Aquarius will be that 2,150-year period, just as Pisces had that same figure.
And so we are entering Aquarius.
Much of what is happening right now is Aquarian in nature, such as technology, such as computers, such as all kinds of advancements in medicine.
Everywhere you look, fantastic leaps are taking place, and people are moving on to a tremendous ability in technology which goes along with the age of Aquarius.
art bell
Well, we certainly are moving rapidly.
Yes, we are.
And I sometimes wonder if not too rapidly.
For example, the recent news that it at least is possible, they think, to clone a human being.
elizabeth clare prophet
Oh, yes.
art bell
I'm not sure that we're prepared for the moral and ethical and spiritual questions that we're going to have to struggle with to be able to do this right now, are we?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, my take on this is you can create a body as a clone, but you cannot create a soul.
Only God can create a soul.
Only God can endow you with the spark of eternal life.
So then, if you clone someone and there's no conscience, there's no inner threefold flame, there's no inner Holy Spirit, then who, pray tell, is this clone?
Can a clone replicate everything we've done in this life, a past life, all preceding lifetimes?
art bell
Well, I don't know.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, that's the big question.
Is this some kind of a blank piece of paper that we, like a cutout, you know, we cut around the edges and then we come up with the picture of a man.
art bell
So you're concerned that might be a soulless being?
elizabeth clare prophet
Absolutely.
I mean, who's going to create a soul for that body?
Where's that soul going to come from?
It's going to come from nowhere.
It might as well be an animal.
It might as well be some kind of a human animal.
art bell
Well, then, and perhaps it would be until we do it, I guess we will not know.
Then what about the process of reincarnation itself, the age-old question that I might as well ask you?
There are consistently more people on earth and more people on earth and more people on earth.
And the obvious question is, where are all these souls coming from?
Previous incarnations?
What is the answer to that one?
elizabeth clare prophet
The answer is that over many thousands of years, even ten thousands of years, people have continued to reincarnate on earth.
They haven't had the world teachers, the great mentors, so they don't know how to get out of this human existence.
So they make karma.
We all make karma unless we're very fastidious about it.
We have to keep our harmony.
We have to love God, love one another.
I mean, attaining union with God is a challenge.
And so here we are with many, many people being born and then many, many people who don't attain union with God.
So now there's this weight on planet Earth of people who should have gone on in their evolutionary chain who have not gone on because they have not passed the certain test they should have passed in entering into or merging their soul with their Holy Christ self and ultimately becoming one with God and never returning again in this physical octave.
art bell
All right, well that then brings up another question.
You know, there are a lot of young people today.
There are so many things going on that are, for me, indecipherable.
For example, little children killing other children, dropping them out of windows, shooting other children without a thought to life.
Very blank-eyed, you would almost say when you look at them, soulless children.
Is that going on on earth today?
Are there people walking around who, as we understand it, literally don't have souls?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, the soul, as we've discussed, is mortal and therefore can be terminated.
Then you have these individuals such as children, but these children have reincarnated.
The question is, what is their background?
How can a child of six or seven or eight kill another child or a baby?
We have to look at that person's past life.
What was he doing yesterday and before he was born?
How was he mistreated?
Who moved against him that made him cry out against society and therefore commit a crime against a child?
art bell
So therefore, if we see societal conditions degenerating at a pretty fast pace, what does that say about future incarnations and karma?
Is there hope that it's going to get better or will it continue to deteriorate?
elizabeth clare prophet
See, this is what Christianity has done.
And it really is evil.
Because Christianity says that you can sin, go to the altar, confess your sin, And be forgiven.
art bell
Right.
elizabeth clare prophet
And that's it.
Now, this is a grave disservice.
People have bought it, and so they say, well, I'll just go and confess, and maybe I won't even confess at all.
I'll just take life at will anytime, anywhere I please.
art bell
Well, it's kind of like a Fat Tuesday, I guess, where you can go out and sin to your heart's delight, and then you've got to get real religious for a while, and it's apparently forgiven.
Or sin on Saturday and confess on Sunday.
I have always had a hard time buying that concept.
Once you've committed something wrong, it seems to me expressing sorrow over that doesn't change it in the end, does it?
elizabeth clare prophet
No, but we have a record of what happened, and St. Germain has come to our rescue with his gift of the violet flame.
And the violet flame of the Holy Spirit is actually an energy that transmutes our wrongs so that we don't have to keep carrying them.
So what I'm going to be teaching this coming weekend is how to use mantras, how to use dynamic decrees to call forth a violet flame to transmute errors that you have made.
I think all of us have known a moment in our lives when we were very unkind to someone.
We got angry, we got upset, we look back on ourselves and we say to ourselves, how could I have done this to this person?
art bell
Exactly.
elizabeth clare prophet
And so along comes the Holy Spirit and dynamic decrees which we give, which in the science of the spoken word, we give mantras.
And we call for the violet flame to transmute the karma we made in that unkind interchange.
art bell
What is the violet flame?
elizabeth clare prophet
The violet flame is the flame of the Holy Spirit.
It is the color of violet.
Many of your listeners tonight may actually have someone there in their home, and they can see the aura around the person, the violet light around that person.
art bell
Oh, yes, auras.
elizabeth clare prophet
Yes, and so when the aura is in that level of the violet flame, it's highly attuned to the Holy Spirit.
art bell
All right.
Take a good rest.
We're at the top of the hour, and we'll be back shortly.
And we'll be joined at that time by Los Angeles and San Francisco.
My guest is Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
It's going to be an interesting morning, so stay right where you are.

My guest is somebody you may never have heard.
You've probably heard of her, but in all likelihood, you've not heard her.
This is your chance to do so.
She is Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Coming up again in a moment.
you All right.
Back now to Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Welcome back.
Hi there, Elizabeth.
May I ask you a little bit about the press?
Now, for a long time, you did not do interviews.
Now you're going to go back on the circuit again.
And I'm wondering how you feel in your life you have been treated by the press, local, in Montana, national, when you have said things, when you have been in the news, how would you rate your treatment by the press?
elizabeth clare prophet
Oh, I would say it's capricious.
You know, now and then you get a good article, but you don't always.
And depending on popular opinion and how much opinion is going for you or against you, the press will follow the popular opinion.
I've had very good articles in the Wall Street Journal, other international papers.
And when people are onto you and they feel that you're weak, then they move against you.
When they feel that you're strong, then they don't move against you.
It's kind of an up-and-down thing.
It's like the stock market, as you were saying.
art bell
Well, you had an interview not too long ago with 2020, and I thought they did something of a hatchet job on you.
How did you feel about that?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, I have my TR department and my man who takes care of the press, and I don't bother looking at that stuff.
art bell
So in other words, even after the interview, you don't watch to see how much of you has been left on the cutting room floor?
elizabeth clare prophet
No, I'm not interested.
I am absolutely not interested in it.
I am in communion with God.
I do my job.
And I can't just follow what people are going to say about me.
art bell
All right.
After the suicides at Rancho Santa Fe, did you review any of the material from the Heavensgate website or any of the material about what these people believed?
elizabeth clare prophet
I peripherally looked at it, turned it over to my staff who deals with these kinds of matters that have to do with touchy subjects that would reflect on us and so forth.
And they do a really excellent job.
I have a department, a PR department, devoted to it.
Otherwise, you know, I could be called away every single day because of something somebody said in the newspaper.
art bell
Sure.
elizabeth clare prophet
And I decided to just quit it.
You know, I don't have to hear about these things.
I certainly was concerned, very concerned, about this event happening, however.
art bell
Of course.
elizabeth clare prophet
There's no question about that.
art bell
All right.
So that the audience might understand and I might understand, I read a lot of the Heaven's Gate material.
elizabeth clare prophet
Yeah.
art bell
And frankly, there is not a lot of difference in terms of what they believed regarding planes of existence and some of what you talk about.
What is the difference between the path that they took and the path that you are on?
elizabeth clare prophet
On the path that I'm on, suicide is always unacceptable because it's taking God into your own hands.
And that's what I feel is the downfall of anyone who takes his life.
art bell
I couldn't agree more.
Otherwise, though, if you did a little bit of reading about their belief systems, they were not altogether on the wrong path, were they?
elizabeth clare prophet
No.
art bell
So then how did they get on the wrong path?
I mean, how do you think it happened?
Do you have any idea how you get from where you are to where they went?
elizabeth clare prophet
I came to the conclusion as I was pondering this subject this week that these people do not have enough of the God stuff in them to be centered in that flame in the heart to remain as individuals.
It seems that at some point they gave up their independent identity and became one group who are all going to do the same thing and they're all going to go somewhere together.
It's very odd to me that highly intelligent people cannot see the folly of their doings.
And I had to conclude that they must not have spent much time meditating on the tremendous power that God has placed in the heart flame, the heart flame that beats on the altar of our heart from the time we're born to the time we leave.
That is the heart flame of God.
And when you have that, live that, walk and talk with God, you become very individualistic.
You know, you go back to the prophets and to Moses and the great lights that have come down to us.
These individuals are not going to be moved because there's 38 of them or there's 37 of them.
These people are not moved because they have a separate identity.
And these people seem to not have had a separate identity.
They saw themselves as almost like a flank of birds, you know, one whole.
art bell
All right.
Well, the lack of a separate identity is typical of the way people will describe the effect of somebody in a cult.
And of course, people have said that what you do amounts to a cult.
I'm sure you argue with that.
To me, it seems a cult, as opposed to a mainstream religion, only seems to be a difference in size.
I can't quite figure it out.
A cult is very difficult to define.
But apparently, in the classic sense, you have just suggested that these people were in a cult, that they had no separate identity, and that was stripped from them.
You do not teach that, do you?
elizabeth clare prophet
I don't teach what?
art bell
You don't teach that.
In other words, you don't, in your teaching, strip individual identities.
elizabeth clare prophet
On the contrary, if you just look at the chart of the I Am Presence that is at our high altar, you see that each individual person who is a son or a daughter of God is centered in the Holy Spirit, centered in the mentor, the Holy Christ self, centered in the threefold flame.
And that empowerment comes from within.
It doesn't just come from without.
art bell
it comes from the deep knowing that we have a part to play in god can people And so it is reasonable then to ask whether it's possible for people to get back to God without returning to organized religion.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, you know, organized religion kind of takes in the whole waterfront.
Sure.
Depending on who is the pastor, who is the teacher, who is the leader, whether that leader is up there carrying on histrionics and, you know, leading people astray, or whether you really have profound leaders who walk and talk with God daily, who listen to the inner voice, who obey that inner voice.
These people are the ones we want to follow.
art bell
You have spoken with and transcribed messages from ascended masters.
What can you actually tell us, if anything, about what the future holds for us, for humanity, for our world?
elizabeth clare prophet
what do you know of in other words and In terms of the future, God has given every individual on earth free will.
art bell
Free will.
elizabeth clare prophet
And these souls who took their lives also had that option of free will.
Now, if they saw their free will as identical with the free will of their leader and there was no clearly defined border of who I am and who the next guy is, that to me is what leads to like a colony of mushrooms that are all in one piece instead of having a separate identity and saying,
I want to live, you know, even saying it at the last minute, no, I'm not going to take this drug or whatever it is because I want life, not death.
And they didn't seem to have it.
art bell
Well, my question, though, goes now more to what you think is in store for us.
I guess you have been handed some information, hopefully I guess you have, that we don't have, regarding our future.
Can you tell us what you know?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think that the future can be bright if we walk in the footsteps of the great religious reformers of all time.
And I think that if we decide to go into drugs and allow our children to do so, we allow our civilization to go down, and we don't fight for the rights of our children to be true and what they are, we don't fight to get heroin and drugs out of the schools, if we aren't really fighting, we will see the consequences of our actions.
I believe God has given us free will.
We have to take that free will and use it wisely, see what's happening, band together with our neighbors, and work for the betterment of our youth.
art bell
Well, that's what ought to happen, but Elizabeth, that doesn't seem to me to be happening.
elizabeth clare prophet
It happens in many places where there is a wholeness, where there is the green chute, where there is life.
There are many communities around our nation and around the world where people really do have a solid family core and where they are not losing and going down the mudslide of civilization.
art bell
Is that why you established what you have established in Montana to be a green chute in the middle of a bunch of brown weeds?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think that this came about when my husband, the night before he passed on, Mark Roffitt, who founded this organization, told me that I should move my headquarters to Montana.
So I followed his instruction and we moved here.
art bell
Did he tell you why?
elizabeth clare prophet
He felt that we would be facing many challenges, especially in the 1990s, crossing over into the year 2000, that we could be seeing war again, perhaps a third world war.
We could see nuclear weapons.
We could see a breakdown in society.
We could see the problems of our military, that they do not realize that we must have defense, even though we may never use that defense.
We need to have that defense in place.
We know that Russia is still building armaments and weapons.
art bell
As a matter of fact, there's a story that ran yesterday in a lot of papers that the Russians, for whatever indiscernible reason, are building very deep bomb shelters.
Now, that doesn't sound to me like a nation that's thinking war is all gone and over and nothing to worry about.
They're building very deep shelters in Russia.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, they have been building them for many, many years.
I would say at least since the end of World War II.
So the Russians mean business, and they are building those shelters because they are determined that they are not going to be the ones that are going to lose this fight.
And the Russians believe that he who hits first is the victor.
art bell
Well, they may be right.
Yes, they may be right.
Or perhaps everybody is the victim.
However, they've decided that at least some of them, no doubt the elite, shall survive.
And to some degree, then, it is fair to say that what you have built in Montana is your own what your ex-husband, your former husband, told you to do.
elizabeth clare prophet
To build our shelters, to be prepared, to survive.
So many people today in the United States say, well, why should we do anything?
Because we don't want to be here.
We don't want to be in a world that's had a Holocaust and all of its fallout on our heads, on our houses, on our people.
So we're not going to worry about building shelters.
We're not going to worry about the future because we don't want to be around.
art bell
Wouldn't want to be in a world with a bunch of dying people and radiation all over the place, that sort of thing.
elizabeth clare prophet
And so we then decided to say, okay, we're going to choose life, not death.
And life may entail that we be underground for a number of weeks if there are nuclear weapons that come across the United States.
And after that, and after the fallout settles and we come out, we have prepared our seed.
We've prepared those things that we can grow.
We're prepared to till the earth.
We're prepared to survive because we believe it's our responsibility to live and to send forth our posterity to once again recreate this world the way God intended it to be.
And the United States government is not providing what the Russian government is providing for its people.
art bell
No, it's true they're not.
And it's reasonable to ask why the Russians are doing this if they show, you know, if it's going to be war no more.
So I tend to agree with you.
Do you have any sense of when this might come, where it might start?
I mean, do we look at Israel in the Middle East as so many people believe?
Is there a way that people can know the time is drawing near?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think the time is drawing near, and I think while this time is drawing near, the most important means we have of change is transmutation by the violet flame of the Holy Spirit.
And if you'd like, I'll be happy to give you an example of what a violet flame decree is about.
art bell
Yes, please do.
elizabeth clare prophet
Okay, this decree is called, I am the violet flame.
When we use the name of God, I am, we are saying, God in me is.
God in me is the violet flame.
So this is how I would give this dynamic decree.
I am the violet flame, in action in me now.
I am the violet flame, to light alone I bow.
I am the violet flame, in mighty cosmic power.
I am the light of God, Shining every hour.
I am the violet flame, blazing like a sun.
I am God's sacred power, freeing everyone.
That's a simple decree.
The energy comes from the I am present.
We are directing the violet flame into action in our being.
We bow to the light.
We invoke the cosmic power of God.
We visualize ourselves in a blazing sun, and we call for the freedom of everyone.
art bell
So, you are not what happened in Rancho, Santa Fe.
You are not a group of people prepared to bring upon their own apocalypse, which is what I think eventually occurs to most cults who feel it's on the way.
When it doesn't arrive, they then create their own, bring upon their own.
You are simply saying that you are preparing for what you believe is coming, and if it does not come in your lifetimes, that's just fine, but you vote for life, not death.
elizabeth clare prophet
That's right.
And that's what Moses said on his deathbed.
He said to the children of Israel, choose life, not death.
art bell
You are going to be speaking, I think, in San Diego shortly, aren't you?
elizabeth clare prophet
Yes, I am speaking in San Diego.
art bell
April 12th and 13th at the, let's see, Wyndham Emerald Plaza Hotel, is that correct?
That's right.
How do people find out about that?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, our seminar is April 12th, Saturday, and April 13th, Sunday, from 1 to 6 p.m. on both days at the Wyndham Emerald Plaza Hotel in the Crystal Ballrooms 1 and 2.
That address is 400 West Broadway downtown on West Broadway and Columbia Street in San Diego.
art bell
Why have you decided to go back on the circuit, to go back on the air?
You've written a book suddenly?
elizabeth clare prophet
Yes, I've written my book.
art bell
And suddenly you're very public again.
What changed?
Why did you decide to do that?
elizabeth clare prophet
Because I feel that we have a window of opportunity of three years or less to give people a real spiritual dimension and a Holy Spirit-centered life where no matter what happens to them,
whether we go into a golden age or whether we see a period of great darkness, that the people I talk to, that I give that empowerment to, of the science of the spoken word, that they will have something to hang on to no matter what happens in this world, in the United States, and the whole planet.
art bell
Do you think, in fact, life will go on?
I visualize a change, and I don't know what it is, whether it is a gigantic spiritual event, a physical event like a war.
I have no idea.
I just know we're racing towards something, and it seems to me there will be something on the other side of that.
It's not the end of the world, but there's going to be a big change, isn't there?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think so.
I think that life will go on, but it may go on quite differently.
And I think it depends how much prayer force we bring to the altars of our churches, our synagogues, our mosques, our temples.
art bell
All right.
Elizabeth, stand by.
We're at the bottom of the hour.
We'll be right back.
And I will take some calls.
Or Elizabeth, well, I guess I should say.

You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM.
Can you take my way?
No one take your place.
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time, tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
art bell
It is indeed, and I'm not sure we're ever going back where we came from.
But I guess that's the eternal struggle, isn't it?
The End Once again, back to Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
And Elizabeth, I would like to ask you kind of an off-the-wall question.
I am very definitely married to my soulmate.
It's not something that I had to consider.
I knew it instantly, and I've known it ever since.
How do people find that person out there that really is their soulmate?
There's a lot of people on the planet right now.
How do you go about searching out that person who is right for you?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think if you clear your aura and the aura of the etheric mental, physical, and desire body, if you make yourself a clear transparency, it's almost like you're a lighthouse.
You have the light going out from you, and your soulmate may recognize it from the other side of the world.
It's almost like when looking for one's soulmate, you almost have to be a sleuth because there's so many millions of people in the world.
But truly what God does is he brings together those whom he desires to bring together, and many, many people have married a soulmate.
art bell
So then it's something you have to do.
It's not like going out and just searching and searching and searching or bar hopping or whatever it is people do to try to find a mate.
But it's something that comes from you and is then recognized and it just happens.
elizabeth clare prophet
I think it happens.
You know, I believe in love at first sight.
I think you can recognize your soulmate the moment you see him or her.
art bell
Exactly.
I do, too.
I experienced that.
Could you explain to the audience just who St. Germain is?
Who is he?
What is his role?
That sort of thing.
elizabeth clare prophet
Each one of the ages, the 2,000-year periods that we're talking about is ages, there is a ruling hierarch of that age who carries a specific flame.
And the hierarch of the age of Aquarius is St. Germain.
And there are angels and legions of light, all of whom serve him on that seventh ray of Aquarius.
So it is his time to rule the world for that 2,000-year period.
St. Germain was embodied as Francis Bacon.
He was embodied as the prophet Samuel.
He had tremendous skills and ability in the French courts.
He could change metals into gold.
He was known as the Wonder Man of Europe.
He made his ascension several hundred years ago.
And he is the one who will guide us through this 2,000-year period.
And he is greatly beloved by his students throughout the world.
art bell
And has St. Germain told you, and I mean you, not your late husband only, but yourself as well, what is just ahead for our world, this transition?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think that if we all recognize that we are facing major challenges in our homes, in industry, all over the world, in our government, and we can meet those challenges by praying daily, we can set aside 15 minutes or 30 minutes, give a few mantras to the violet flame to bring that into our households, that can make the difference.
We need to realize that we need St. Germain.
He's here for us, and we have to call to him, and we have to say, beloved St. Germain, help us to right this planet.
Help our families, help our children, help the world.
And we have to implore on our knees before God that God might give us intercession through St. Germain, through other saints in heaven.
We have to be a part of the process, and we can't give up.
We have to work as hard as we can to make this happen, to turn around the darkness of the world.
And if it comes upon us, then we can say to our posterity, we tried, we gave it our best.
This is what we were able to accomplish.
art bell
In Montana, do your neighbors understand you for the most part or misunderstand your message and what you're saying for the most part?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, we've had the Royal Teton Lanch since 1981 when we purchased it, and it's now 1997.
So our neighbors, the people in Montana, the people in the capital and so forth, they've gotten to know us, and we get along very well with the people of Montana for the most part.
art bell
All right.
I'd like to let a few in the audience ask you questions, if you would not mind.
elizabeth clare prophet
That's fine.
art bell
All right, let's give it a try.
First time caller line, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Where are you, sir?
unidentified
Columbus, Ohio.
art bell
Welcome.
unidentified
Welcome.
God bless you, Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
I have a question.
elizabeth clare prophet
Thank you.
unidentified
You're welcome.
You've obviously admitted that you didn't get to where you wanted to go and everybody wants to go the first route.
Maybe before that you had other experiences in reincarnation.
I believe that, and that's true.
Now, for your people that are people, everyone that's listening, tell them how they would know if they're new or if they've been struggling for thousands of years.
art bell
Well, that's an interesting question.
Yes.
How do you know where you are in the process, Elizabeth?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, are you saying, are you talking about a brand new soul that hasn't incarnated before versus someone who's been here thousands of years?
unidentified
Yeah, sure.
art bell
Have I been around a lot of times previously, or am I relatively new at all this?
How would you know?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, there are certain indicators that you see.
First of all, the first fruit races, as they are called, never did sin.
So they were on the planet 14,000 years each, each S series of 14,000 years.
And they fulfilled their reason for being on planet Earth, and they moved on.
Then came the fourth and fifth and sixth fruit races.
And they got enmired with the fallen angels and the war that happened between Mars and Maldek and the planet Earth.
And these individuals have occupied the Earth since that time.
And this is why we have good and evil, because the bad intentions of many visitors who have come to planet have played themselves out over many centuries.
And therefore, we are in the grips of fallen angels and aliens who move against our children, who are tools for drugs, for tearing civilization down, for causing the burdens in people's bodies that have to do with why they're mentally ill, why they are physically ill.
art bell
But again, an individual, is there a way that a listener, for example, can discern whether they're a newbie or whether they've been around for a long time?
Is there some way to discern that individually?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, if you look at the sixth root race, it's the most recent root race to have embodied.
These, for the most part, are the Christian civilization of our world.
And many times these souls are trusting.
They love Jesus.
He is the only avatar that they have known.
They follow him with all their hearts under many denominations.
They are sincere.
They are servants of God.
But they may not quite have a background of remembrance of past ages.
They may never have been on Atlantis.
They may never have been in Lemuria.
And so, compared to those who have, these souls are young souls.
So they have less experience.
And their life is more simple.
They see things more simply rather than so complex.
And for many Christians, the goal is to attain union with Jesus Christ, to be saved by him, and to enter the heaven world.
And of course, according to what they've been taught, reincarnation does not exist for them.
art bell
All right.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Good morning.
unidentified
Good morning.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
Seattle.
art bell
Seattle, okay.
unidentified
I had a question when you were talking about suicide and the souls being stuck, and then you said that it would be hard to find the mothers.
Well, I would like to have another child, and I have friends that are hoping to have more children, and that was...
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, if you want to have children, and you can have children, it's important to pray to God and ask God and His angels to intercede in your behalf and to give you a soul who is compatible with your family and whom God wishes to place there.
I would put it in the hands of God rather than to volunteer for such and such a soul that you really do not even know.
God assigns the souls that He sends to us, and He does a very good job of it.
So we should take what He sends us in terms of our bearing our children.
art bell
All right.
We talked, Elizabeth, about cloning, and you said that a clone may well not have a soul because that's given by God, not man.
That's true.
Therefore, is science a blessing as well as a great danger for us?
Is there a danger in the path we're on right now scientifically?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, for one thing, we don't know but what scientists of Atlantis were already cloning before Atlantis sank.
art bell
That's true.
elizabeth clare prophet
And the products of these clones could have gone off of Atlantis to other areas such as Greece and the Mediterranean areas.
And for all we know, we may be walking around and rubbing elbows with people who were created by Atlantean scientists and have come down the chain of evolution and are here on Earth.
And we call them soul less ones.
art bell
You said something that I would like to try and understand.
You said that a lot of the new souls would be the pure people.
elizabeth clare prophet
They're younger souls.
art bell
Younger souls.
elizabeth clare prophet
They haven't had as much time to make negative karma as people who've been here longer.
art bell
Right.
My traditional understanding of reincarnation was that you get it better, or you're supposed to be trying to get it better each time.
But the way you've explained it seems to suggest that the older souls are the more evil of the souls.
They have had time to learn the evil ways.
Or is there a great curve where a soul becomes more evil and then begins to correct for that with karma?
elizabeth clare prophet
I don't distinguish quantities of karma between those who have been on the earth longer as opposed to those who have been on the earth at lesser lengths of time.
What I'm saying here is that if you come in as a younger soul because you have reincarnated for the first time in the Piscean Age, that gives you 2,000 years period of having been on earth if you began to be born during this Piscean age.
So what we're saying here is souls are younger.
They may have less experience.
They may have less development in certain areas.
It's not a question of good and bad so much as it is what is their momentum of service to God and what is their momentum to service to life.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Hi, where are you, please?
unidentified
I'm in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Yes, sir.
I became familiar with Miss Prophet's teachings many years ago, and I still, every day I decree, and I've been able to overcome tobacco and alcohol, and I've got a little bit of cold right now, but I'm a very joyful person.
I want to honor Miss Prophet's courage to come back out at this time with her teachings of the masters, because it is so difficult right now with all this cult stuff and everything.
It's so difficult for authentic teachings to get through to the people.
And I know she has taken more flack, which speaks to me that she must have something going for herself to take this much flack.
art bell
Well, sir, as you well know, I've been in that bucket here recently, too, and there's something I've noticed, and that is, and I wonder if you have, Elizabeth, that the media, for the most part, decides what the story is going to be, and then most times they don't let the facts get in their way of telling that story the way they want it to be.
If they have decided that Elizabeth Claire Prophet or anybody else is a cult leader, by gosh, they're going to tell that story no matter what.
Do you see that?
elizabeth clare prophet
Do I see that?
I've seen it for years.
Seen it for years.
art bell
Yeah, that's right.
elizabeth clare prophet
I just don't pay any attention to it.
I know who I am, where I'm going, and I know what I can do for people, and that's my passion and my mission.
art bell
And your reason for being here is not so much to refute that.
You've Stopped doing that a long time ago, but merely to get your message out.
elizabeth clare prophet
That's right.
I have a message for those who want it.
I'm not pushing it on anyone, but I have a wonderful message of the Holy Spirit and the violet flame, and I want to shout it from the housetop.
art bell
You don't, your group does not kidnap people, does Not brainwash people, does not lead them down the path as we hear of cults like this one with Heaven's Gate and so forth.
None of that goes on, does it?
elizabeth clare prophet
Nothing of the kind.
You're free to come here, enjoy our teachings, read our books, decide you don't want to stay, be on your way with our blessing and love, come see us again.
You know, we just want to help people who want to be helped.
art bell
Fair enough.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi.
art bell
Hello, where are you?
unidentified
San Francisco area.
art bell
Okay, you're going to have to speak up good and loud for us.
unidentified
San Francisco Bay Area.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And I've been a seeker of truth all my life and study religions, and I studied first Episcopalian, then Christian Science, and then I found these books by Elizabeth Cornelius.
Claire Prophet at Barnes & Noble.
Yes.
And I started studying them, and I found them to be very full of very loving energy, and I think very spiritual.
And I found there were ways in which there was much to learn about what the purpose of life is.
And, you know, it's too bad that we have to try to put Mrs. Prophet through some kind of sieve and litmus test about, you know, are you crazy and do you have a cult and do they do suicides and drugs and this and that?
Because I think the media has specialized in perversity.
And the story about Mary Bakertti is similar because when she discovered, you know, Christian science, which said, you know, people can heal themselves, Jesus healed himself, and therefore you can too.
And she taught that, she was attacked from every single quarter on earth.
It seems like we're in a spiritual warfare where people are attacked if they have a message of love and healing and they just want to help others because it seems like this seems to be the dawn of the real hardening of heart.
It's worn in the Bible that, you know, the worst thing is a hardening of heart.
And we all seem to be getting that way toward one another because of media sensationalism.
So I would like to ask Mrs. Prophet, you know, what she would recommend is a book which someone might go to the bookstore and pick up just to investigate what your teachings are.
Which book do you think they could start with?
art bell
All right, that's a good question.
You have written many books.
Which would you recommend as a beginner?
elizabeth clare prophet
I would recommend the book that I have just recently finished, Reincarnation, the Missing Link in Christianity, because Christians are truly missing the link that they could have with God if they really understood what Christ's message was and is.
art bell
Exactly, how did that message get removed?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, as we were saying earlier, the Council of Nicaea, the situation of removing reincarnation because it was a threat to the church hierarchy, because the people would not have to toe the line if they knew that they were going to re-embody.
So reincarnation is pivotal, and if we don't understand it, we don't know it, what we do is we sin, and we think that somebody else is going to take care of it.
So we're not accountable.
We're not accountable.
And that's a real problem.
art bell
It is a very serious problem.
And I've always felt it myself that, gosh, you can't just simply be absolved of wrongdoing, that whatever good or bad you do in life hangs with you throughout your life.
And if one believes in reincarnation in future lives.
Exactly.
So I think I definitely believe that.
It makes more sense than somebody being absolved just like that.
And I know that flies in the face of a lot of contemporary Christian teaching.
And it makes a lot of fundamentalists very angry to hear the kind of thing you're saying because they believe, well, anything I can do can be forgiven.
So how do you deal with that anger when you meet it?
elizabeth clare prophet
When I meet that anger in people?
unidentified
Yes.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, I have no desire to be angry with people whatsoever.
I have no desire to argue with them.
art bell
I can tell that.
I meant when they come at you that way.
elizabeth clare prophet
When they come at me that way, I just listen to what they have to say.
And I don't try to change their minds because most people come with a mindset.
art bell
Yes.
elizabeth clare prophet
And only they can change their mindset.
I pray for them that through the Holy Spirit, maybe they may become liberated and truly not have this burden where they feel they have to argue religion.
I think it's a sin against Jesus Christ to argue religion.
art bell
I do too.
Elizabeth, we're at the top of an hour.
Can you spend one more?
elizabeth clare prophet
I'll give it a try.
art bell
Give it a try.
All right, it sounds like you might be Quite a bit of talking, yes.
elizabeth clare prophet
And I caught the same cold that my son got.
He's going on three years old.
art bell
Uh-huh.
They're little germ carriers, Elizabeth.
All right, stay right there.
My guest is Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
A bit of a cold, but I bet she makes it.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from April 10, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM from April 10, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM from April 10, 1997.
Thank you.
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premiere Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
art bell
It is a rare opportunity indeed.
My guest is Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
She's got a bit of a cold, but if you'll sit and listen with an open mind, you actually might hear something.
I know there's a lot of seething going on out there because I know how people react to ideas that they do not agree with.
But it is healthy, folks, to listen.
very healthy.
unidentified
Music by Ben Thede.
art bell
All right, back now to a very rare opportunity To speak with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Just a couple of more questions.
I know you're starting to run out of gas, and I don't blame you.
It's getting late in the morning.
We talked about suicide quite extensively.
What about, here's a really hard question: what about the other way around?
In other words, when somebody has murdered, taken life, in a premeditated manner, our society takes their life.
How do you look at that?
elizabeth clare prophet
I look at it in two ways.
Sometimes it's necessary to be in jail, to be in a penitentiary for a long time, for life, let's say.
art bell
Right.
elizabeth clare prophet
But on the other hand, you have a situation where a person is sent to the electric chair for murder.
art bell
Exactly.
elizabeth clare prophet
They could be in their 20s.
Because I believe in reincarnation, I see that if that person has received this judgment, that person could be in embodiment within a year or two years or three years as a baby in someone's womb who will come forth, grow to maturity, and will have to deal with that karma.
Now, if you let him rot in jail between his 20s and now he's 80 years old, it's a total waste.
With reincarnation, he gets to come back again, re-embody again, meet the person that he murdered, have a resolution between the two, if indeed they can reach that plane of brotherly love, and the one who was the victim and the one who was the murderer can move on now.
art bell
Oh, that's very interesting.
So in other words, somebody who has been, say, electrocuted does not, as a suicide, remain bound here.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, he's not a suicide because he is not willingly going.
He was put in the electric chair.
art bell
Exactly.
Oh, very interesting.
elizabeth clare prophet
To me, you see, to let people rot away in jail, to finally, finally pass on in their late years, then finally get to be born again, you're talking about maybe 50 years of a person's life and of institutions having to support people.
Whereas these people are going nowhere, and they get into a lot of trouble in jail, in any case.
art bell
They absolutely do, and learn to be better criminals in a lot cases.
elizabeth clare prophet
I think that is a tremendous gift that God showed me many years ago, that it's better to move on when you make a major mistake.
It's better that you take your punishment, come back, and try harder.
art bell
All right.
Can I ask you a couple of hard questions?
elizabeth clare prophet
Sure.
art bell
All right.
Let me read you a facts I got, and I'm not familiar with this, so I'll just read it, and you can respond if you will.
Good evening, Art.
Elizabeth Claire Prophet and her church is responsible for the slaughter of nearly two-thirds of the Yellowstone National Park bison herd, which were following their normal migration patterns in search of food this winter.
There is no, quote-inquotes, love in her heart for God's creatures.
She is not being honest when she tells you of her love.
Please ask her why she is calling for the slaughter of the Yellowstone bison herd.
elizabeth clare prophet
I am not calling for the slaughter of the Yellowstone bison herd in any way, shape, or form.
art bell
Why do you think Pam in Eugene, Oregon has come to the conclusion that you have?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, in past years, what has happened is, through perhaps not necessarily handling the situation the best, the Yellowstone Park has allowed multitudes of bison to come through onto our properties.
Then they have to be killed on our properties, and it becomes a tremendous mess.
And so what has happened is the Yellowstone Park has become more accountable to the situation of the bison.
And many bison were outside the park, not necessarily on our property this winter.
They've been all over Gardner, all over the roads, all over the highways.
They've been everywhere.
art bell
There is also a disease problem, isn't there?
elizabeth clare prophet
Yeah, well it's brucellosis, and that affects our cattle.
And our cattle is on our ranch, and that cattle produces their young.
And if the bison get near them, our cattle can be compromised by the brucellosis of the bison.
I think that the herd in Yellowstone Park should be reduced to accommodate all the bison that should be in that park so they don't need to exit the park and come on private property and then put that in the hands of the ranchers that then have to deal with a question when it's not even our problem.
art bell
Okay.
Hard question number two, and I don't really think this one's so hard.
On your ranch, it is said you have quite a stock of weapons.
Now, I have no problem with that, Elizabeth.
I have a fair stock of weapons myself.
I live in a very isolated area, and frankly, the authorities who might help me if I got in trouble would arrive probably in time to draw a chalk line around my body on the floor.
Not to help me get out of the trouble.
I'm going to have to depend on myself to do that, and so I do.
But people will, of course, look at your accumulation of weapons and attach really dire meaning.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, first of all, what I want to tell you is that, according to the Constitution, people have the right to bear arms.
art bell
You betcha.
elizabeth clare prophet
The people who live in our community and are a part of our ranch are free to own guns as they see fit as right as citizens of the United States.
The church itself does not stock weapons.
Individuals may do so if they are concerned that we may have a nuclear war, not the scenario we've been discussing this evening, they want to be able to protect their families and their homes.
And they live all up and down the Paradise Valley in a long stretch of mileage.
And most people in Montana, you will find, hunt.
And they have their private weapons, which I don't think is any of my business or anybody else's business.
art bell
I couldn't agree with you more.
And so the guns that are possessed, not by your church, but by the individuals who are part of it, might conceivably be used if the worst occurred, if this change.
And by the way, you may have heard at the beginning of the hour, and I want to ask you, have you noted that whether it's a Native American or a Catholic priest or a prophet or Elizabeth Clare prophet or so many, many others, through different venues and visions and avenues, they all, you all seem to be saying about the same thing, and that is that we are rushing toward a change.
So are there other paths, Elizabeth, that are valid and are able to see the same things that you have been shown?
elizabeth clare prophet
I think that the mystics of the world and every one of the major world religions have a deep contact with God.
And I think that people in the outer circles of religion also have a contact with God.
And each of us needs to position ourselves in that place where we feel we can do the best by communing with God and then going out and helping people who really need us.
They need us physically.
They need us to help us with their children, to help us with drugs, to face this and that challenge.
art bell
So then you don't hold yourself out as the only conduit to what's ahead.
elizabeth clare prophet
Every single person on earth has a conduit directly to God.
They don't need me as an intercessor.
art bell
Well, I hope the audience is sitting out there and really hearing this.
And I trust a lot of my audience is.
First time caller line, you're on the air with a Do the Wild Thing.
It's 702-727-1295.
My friend, that's the one thing I can't let you do.
Please do not give your last name on the air.
So let's try it again.
Just give us your first name and where you are.
unidentified
My name is Chris.
I'm from Houston, Texas.
Yes, sir.
The whole spiritual thing, it goes a lot deeper and there's a lot bigger picture than what I've been hearing tonight.
art bell
In what sense?
unidentified
The spiritual sense.
There's a, well, for a lot of years, I guess you can call them witch cults or whatever, but there's a universal understanding of life.
And it's called spiritualism.
And it deals with everything that lives and grows lives off the same energy.
And it's the same energy that the grass grows from, that puppies are born from, that everything that lives and moves, it comes from some energy, and it exists throughout the universe.
It's called nature.
And a lot of people misinterpret it for God.
And I'm not saying that there's not somebody there that guides us.
art bell
Why do you think there is some great difference, sir, between what you might call nature and I might call God?
well i'm not i'm not saying there's a big difference i'm saying that That's right.
unidentified
It's all the same.
art bell
It's all the same.
So we really, I think, have no argument.
Do you agree, Elizabeth?
elizabeth clare prophet
I agree.
art bell
All right.
I think that's right.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
Am I on?
art bell
Yes, yes.
unidentified
Cool.
My name is Russell.
I'm from Southern California.
Right now I'm in Santa Monica.
elizabeth clare prophet
Okay.
unidentified
I'm in the prayer.
And I think it's almost synchronistic that you were just talking about how if you have to go to the bathroom a lot at night, if it's your prostate and large stuff, and one of your ads.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
My father is in a hospital right now.
He was getting his prostate shaved.
And they had complications.
They punctured his bladder, made all kinds of mistakes, and it's a mess.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
So I've noticed that, you know, I do prayer, and my prayers have become intense, and I'm noticing that it's working for me, and I'm convinced.
Prayer is it.
So I'm interested in this violet flame stuff and these decrees that Prophet's talking about.
And I wanted to ask her if she could elucidate on that a bit.
art bell
All right, sure, sure.
unidentified
And, you know, I also have a friend here who has a question, too.
art bell
Well, one at a time.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right.
Your question is a good one.
He wants more about the violet flame.
He wants to understand that.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, may I give another mantra?
art bell
Please.
elizabeth clare prophet
Okay, this one is called The Living Flame of Cosmic Freedom.
It says, I am the immortal flame of cosmic freedom.
I demand that all of my energies in outer concentration submit to the great God flame within my heart.
I demand that all outer conditions come within effective God control.
I demand that all that is not of the light be transmuted and changed, and that I be the fullness of all that which I already am.
For I am the full perfection of God.
I am the living flame of cosmic freedom.
I am the buoyant, dancing joy of God that passes through my entire four lower bodies and descends from the heart of my presence to give me my freedom now.
I am the raising power of the Spirit of light and fire, which lifts me to the victory of my ascension and is the full gathered momentum of victory of the saints and ascended beings of all ages to ascend back to the very heart of God and the immortal consciousness thereof.
So help me, God.
art bell
So there you are, sir.
unidentified
That's great.
So I can see how that would work perfect for me.
But what about when I apply it for nuclear war and stuff like that?
Like I don't want it to happen.
art bell
In other words, what can you do to prevent what seems to be because it can be much greater?
All right.
What can he do?
elizabeth clare prophet
I always go back to the power of the spoken word so that I have set in the ethers around me exactly what I want to have happen and come into physical manifestation.
So if I'm going to deal with nuclear war, I would take another mantra from St. Germain and see if you can visualize how this looks around you.
I am the light of the heart, shining in the darkness of being, and changing all into the golden treasury of the mind of Christ.
I am projecting my love out into the world, to erase all errors, and to break down all barriers.
I am the power of infinite love, amplifying itself, until it is victorious, world without end.
art bell
Um how would you apply that?
I stopped trying to think of how that would apply to a nuclear war, for example.
elizabeth clare prophet
Because when we put a shield of light around us, the light of our hearts, the manifestation of the mind of Christ, and we call for the breaking down of all barriers, we call for the power of infinite love, that is energy.
We qualify that energy with a very specific code, and the code are the sequences of the words of the mantra itself.
So every syllable of a mantra carries energy.
So when you want to accomplish turning back nuclear war, you start with this nucleus of the light of the heart that comes from the I am that I am that God revealed to Moses.
So we go back to our source, we call God to send down shafts of white light, then we give a mantra that anchors it into the physical octave, in our bodies, and in the situation of your father's prostate.
art bell
All right.
You seem so positive on life, Elizabeth.
You're obviously positive on life.
It's a message that I think the masses have missed about you because the press never listens to that.
They only seem to want to concentrate on trying to portray you as a cult leader.
They never seem to listen to what we're hearing tonight.
And so I'm glad we've been able to hear it.
What is your best assessment?
You're certainly optimistic about what we can try and avoid, how we can try to avoid it, but does it seem increasingly inevitable to you?
elizabeth clare prophet
I hate to hear the word inevitability because it almost becomes a prediction.
You know, whatever we affirm, we become self-fulfilling.
I'm one of this person that never says die.
I'm going to work and work and try to help God and all of the people that I know to come into a higher alignment with the reality of the universe.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Hello, where are you, please?
unidentified
Donnie in Baton Rouge.
art bell
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Yes, sir?
unidentified
Okay.
Mr. Bell and Miss Prophet.
Okay, I've been listening tonight, and in the past, I have had myself gone through with my family.
My entire family has now got classes that we would taught spiritualism.
I guess, you know, for lack of a better word, put it, master perjection and reincarnation and all these things, okay?
And, you know, here in the past couple of years I have switched over to philosophy, okay?
And I really have two questions for this past.
art bell
Well, we've only got time for one quick one, sir, so give us your best shot.
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
Best shot.
All right.
But in the Bible, you know, I noticed that she mixes a lot of Bible with what she's teaching.
Yes.
Reincarnation really teaches works, but all I'm looking for is truth.
And I've been listening with a really open mind in the morning.
I want to hear what she has to say about, you know, the working part of it.
art bell
All right.
We will tackle again reincarnation and the Bible when we get back.
My guest is Elizabeth Claire Prophet, and we're at the bottom of the hour.
If you have a question, we've got the phone lines.
I think that's how it works.
This is Talk Radio.
I'm Art Bell.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in Time, tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
I hear the drums echoing tonight.
She has only whispers of some quiet conversation.
She's coming in for a birthday fight.
Booned wings we fled the stars that guide the torture salvation.
I stopped an old man along the way, hoping to find some old forgotten words for ancient fellows.
He turned to me as if to say, Hurry boy, it's waiting after you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Premier Radio Networks presents Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Tonight's program originally aired April 10th, 1997.
art bell
Indeed, it is.
And I wonder if you've been listening if Elizabeth Claire Prophet is what you thought she would be.
Does she fit into the mold that the media has been serving up to you for years?
Or not?
First time caller line, you're on the air with Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Good morning.
Where are you, please?
unidentified
Good morning.
Calling from Minneapolis.
art bell
Minneapolis, all right?
unidentified
Art, I really love your show.
I have a lot of converts.
We listen to you religiously.
art bell
Thank you.
unidentified
Elizabeth, I believe you are well-intentioned.
However, I believe you are rewriting the gospel, the Christian gospel, using bits and pieces to suit your own beliefs.
And I know this will sound very strong.
I think you are being misled by deceiving spirits, which the Bible warns against time and time again.
art bell
All right.
Go ahead and answer that, Elizabeth.
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, I would say to her that I understand her concerns, but the scriptures also say, judge not lest you be judged.
And in a sense, you, the caller, are judging me when you don't know what is in my heart or in the innermost recesses of my being.
Well, I don't really see how you can make a judgment of me simply because of this doctrine or that doctrine.
There's more to me than just doctrine.
art bell
I'm sure there is.
One thing that is clear to me, Elizabeth, after listening to you this morning, is that what the popular press has made you out to be is definitely not what you are at all.
Whatever you are, you certainly are not what they say you are.
And I hope that that's come clear to my listeners this morning.
I suspect it has, those who have really listened.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi.
I'm on the air?
art bell
You are.
unidentified
My name is Julie.
I'm calling from West L.A. Hi, Julie.
Hi, Elizabeth.
I've just recently been exposed to your teaching, so it's really a joy to talk to you.
My question is that it makes sense to me that we're all energy, and so by invoking a vibration or a color to create change within ourselves or outside of ourselves with these kind of affirmations, that makes sense.
When I'm looking at these decrees, I'm a little overwhelmed with the number of them, and some of the words are unfamiliar, and I think it's important to come from the heart.
How do you know when you're really there?
How long does it take?
Or what do you have to do to make sure that you're really coming from the place that's going to create that transformation in your life or in the lives of things that are important outside of ourselves?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, you can go to the Minneapolis Teaching Center and get some booklets just on decrees, like angel booklets on how to decree for certain things.
How do you know when you've accomplished it?
Because you feel the Holy Spirit upon you, because you feel that through your prayers and your communion with God, you've come to a new plane of oneness with that Spirit.
And I think you come to recognize it after you've decreed and given the type of signs of the spoken word that we do.
You get to recognize and you know when you have accomplished that goal.
unidentified
That self-doubt melts away?
elizabeth clare prophet
It sure does.
unidentified
How long does that take?
elizabeth clare prophet
Just do it every day.
Just get up in the morning and thank God that you don't have to have doubt and fear because he loves you and he will give you the fearlessness flame.
Call for the fearlessness flame.
Call for the binding of all doubt and fear in your life.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
elizabeth clare prophet
You're welcome.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
unidentified
Hi.
Yes, I'm calling from Michigan.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And before she gets off the air, sir, if you could get an 800 number, a phone number to order her book, that would be appreciated.
art bell
Well, I'll bet her book is available at Barnes and Noble.
unidentified
Oh.
That's right.
elizabeth clare prophet
Any Barnes and Noble across the country.
unidentified
Okay.
And my question has to do with one of, I come from a Catholic background, pretty much sad to say but true, I pretty much turn my back on that.
And to say something to me in the lines of, what would you recommend for somebody to get back into a spiritual belief, not so much the Catholic belief, but...
art bell
Why have you turned your back on Catholicism?
unidentified
Well, I just felt that the Catholic Church, so to speak, as an organization, was something hollow was there.
Something wasn't true.
Something was unfulfilling.
It wasn't enough.
There was more to it than what they had to offer.
That just was my feelings.
And, you know, I just pretty much trotted along, you know, and up until the last little while, I figured there must be more, you know, how do you get to a more spiritual feeling?
What would you recommend?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, I would suggest that you take up the teachings of the Ascended Masters so that you can come to the realization that so much has been taken out of Christianity that we have a watered-down religion that is not going to be able to serve us when we have to fight a battle of Armageddon, whether within ourselves or on a planetary scale.
And I think that that's what happened at the Council of Nicaea, that we lost reincarnation, so we lost our reason for being.
art bell
Elizabeth, are there writings that live today that document what originally was in the Bible with regard to reincarnation?
Are there actual writings?
elizabeth clare prophet
Well, you know, the main one that we look to is the Elijah Come Again story.
That's what we look to because that's what Jesus told his disciples.
A lot has been cut out of the Bible.
Scholars themselves are not certain.
So I think that when you get to the Nag Hammadi texts and other documents that have been found, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, you begin to get an entirely different take on Christianity, one that is strong, one that is hopeful, one that is full of love, compassion, and peace toward others.
art bell
All right.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Hi.
Yeah, hi.
unidentified
This is Richard and Eugene.
art bell
Hello, Richard.
unidentified
Yeah, good morning, and bless you both.
Elizabeth, you mentioned your ranch in Montana.
I was just wondering where that might be, and you said it could be visited.
elizabeth clare prophet
That's right.
We're at the northern entrance to Yellowstone Park.
The town is Gardner, Montana.
unidentified
Gardner?
art bell
Gardner.
elizabeth clare prophet
Yeah, Gardner, Montana.
And we have eight miles of river, Yellowstone River on our property, as well as five miles of continuous border with Yellowstone Park.
It's magnificent.
unidentified
Is there a number, a phone number?
elizabeth clare prophet
Yeah, a phone number is 406-848-7441.
art bell
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Everybody's scrambling for pens.
That's 406.
elizabeth clare prophet
I can give you my 800 number, 1-800-437-3366.
art bell
37366?
Okay, that's 1-800-437-3366.
unidentified
And people are welcome to come and visit and take part.
elizabeth clare prophet
You're most welcome, and we'd like to see you there.
Great.
You can also visit us on our website with www.tsl.org.
art bell
All right, and if it will help, caller, if you're used to going to my website, we have a link up there right now to Elizabeth Claire Prophet's website.
unidentified
All right, thank you very much.
art bell
All right, thank you.
And I also took the trouble to scan a very, very nice, flattering, I thought, black and white photograph of you, Elizabeth, and put that on the website as well.
elizabeth clare prophet
Oh, that's very kind of you.
art bell
We're almost done.
Hang in there.
First time caller line.
You're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Hi.
unidentified
Oh, hello.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm from Boise, Idaho.
Okay.
And I want to go to bed, but I wanted to talk.
art bell
Well, that puts you in the category with several others, I'm sure.
unidentified
How many are there before me?
art bell
Go right ahead.
Ask a question.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
First of all, I just wanted to say hi to Art.
And it seems like I've known Art all this time only because I listened to his tapes.
My husband works day and night, and he records them.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell Elizabeth Claire Profit that I am grateful that she was interviewed and also that Art's wishes came true.
I'm originally from South America, but I'm living here in Boise, and I just like to testify the Violet Flame.
I founded teachings in 1977, and this is 97, so I think it's been 20 years.
My children grew up over there, and I served on staff for almost 12 years, and I could really testify with the violet flames in St. Germain.
And I just wanted to share this with all the audience, which I consider my brothers and sisters out there listening, that they should try to give it a try.
art bell
Well, at least hold an open mind and listen with an open mind.
And when you do that, you're liable to actually hear something and learn something and be surprised that what you thought was true perhaps is not.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
Hi.
unidentified
Yes, how are you doing, Art?
art bell
Fine, sir.
unidentified
Elizabeth, I had a question as far as in Hebrews it talks about it's appointed to man once to die and then the judgment.
As far as your beliefs in reincarnation, how do you take that scripture?
elizabeth clare prophet
I take that scripture to mean that we are given once to live, and we are given many times to live, and when we are called home, we go through the resurrection.
You see, this goes along with canceling out the Council of Nicaea.
We come to the place here it is given man once to die.
Well, we know that it is not given to man once to die because we know the law of reincarnation.
unidentified
So you say that scripture is untrue, then, right?
elizabeth clare prophet
I wouldn't say that it is untrue.
I think you and I have differing understandings of that scripture.
unidentified
Okay, then.
Okay, thanks.
Anyways, bye.
art bell
Well, thank you.
Now, that struck me as somebody who didn't really want to listen.
His mind was already made up, and he was just going to try to suggest that you don't properly understand it.
Elizabeth, it has been a very rare opportunity, and you have surprised me, and I suspect you've surprised many others.
I want to give you a chance real quickly, if you would tell us again where you're going to be in the near future and when.
elizabeth clare prophet
Okay.
Let me tell you right now.
art bell
San Diego.
elizabeth clare prophet
San Diego, April 12th and 13th.
art bell
Right.
elizabeth clare prophet
Saturday and Sunday.
And that's 45 a day and 75 for the weekend, 50% off to students.
April 19th and April 20, Sheraton Gateway Airport, Century Boulevard.
And that's in Los Angeles for the weekend seminar.
San Francisco was a weekend seminar.
May 3rd and May 4th, the practical art of living a spiritual life.
And then June 7 and June 8th, Crown Plaza, Seattle downtown.
We also have events happening at Cal State University, Long Beach, On April 15th and Thursday the 17th in Los Angeles at UCLA.
And that's $7 admission fee for the evening for students and professors and whoever else wants to come.
art bell
All right.
And your book, Reincarnation, The Missing Link in Christianity, is available, Barnes and Noble, just about every place across the country.
Is that right?
All right.
It has been a pleasure having you on.
I really want to thank you, and let us do it again someday.
elizabeth clare prophet
We look forward to it.
art bell
Take care.
elizabeth clare prophet
Thank you so much.
art bell
Bye-bye.
That's Elizabeth Claire Prophet and an interview I've wanted to do for a long time.
And, you know, I'm curious now, from those of you out there, was she what you thought she was going to be?
Was her persona what you thought it was going to be?
Are your illusions that were no doubt manufactured by the Soundbite Mass Media, are they now shattered or are they intact?
you you We're going into open lines now, and I did what I did tonight with Elizabeth Clare Prophet very, very intentionally.
I wanted you to hear her, what she really believes, and while you may not agree with Elizabeth Clare Prophet regarding her spiritual path, I think it important that you got a chance to hear her.
Aside from the media assassinations that have been done, you know, all the cult business.
And so I think it was obvious to anybody who really bothered to listen that she follows a spiritual path that has no relationship whatsoever to what occurred in Rancho Santa Fe.
And I wonder if you would agree with that assessment, having listened to her.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Oh, hi, Art.
This is Sherman in Watsonville.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And Juntel, love your show.
Thank you.
I enjoyed hearing Elizabeth's comments.
I wondered if the next time you have her on, if you could ask her what her connections are to the original St. Germain Foundation in Mount Shasta, California.
art bell
Well, that would have been a good question.
What I'm curious about, sir, is what I just asked about.
There's a popular conception of her foisted on the American people by the press.
You know, the ranch, the guns, the cult, that sort of thing.
unidentified
Well, she comes from, if she's connected to the original ones, they're a very patriotic group and have been around for quite a long while.
art bell
Her answer to the guns was, you know, we do have a Second Amendment.
We have the right to protect ourselves.
That seemed like a pretty mainstream answer to me.
unidentified
Yes, exactly.
No problem with that.
As I said, I grew up in the area where the original, well, as far as I understood, the original group was started.
And so we were familiar with some of their activities.
In fact, I talked to some of the Mr. Ballard's daughter, who was the founder of it.
I did want to make one comment, though, and then I'll let you go.
Her comment about judge not, lest you be judged, is really actually judge not, lest you be not judged.
And that's the exact opposite of the intent, which is it's often misunderstood.
But thank you anyway.
art bell
I think we get the spirit of it.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
How are you doing there, Art?
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Tony in Las Vegas.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Hi, Elizabeth.
I don't know.
I just wanted to ask Elizabeth what.
art bell
She's not here now.
unidentified
What's up?
art bell
You must not have been listening, Tony.
unidentified
What's up?
art bell
She's not here now.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, how are you then tonight, Art?
art bell
I'm fine.
unidentified
Hey, I just want to know, does she think we're going to have a nuclear war?
Because I tuned in late.
art bell
Yes, Tony.
The answer is she does.
She is hopeful that such a thing can be prevented, but her late husband told her to do what she has done in Montana, and he obviously believed that there would be such a war.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, Art Bell.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
I haven't called you in a couple years.
art bell
Well, that's too long to wait.
unidentified
I'm the guy that used to post on your newsgroup back before it was invaded about all those things we have in common.
Like, I've got about 40 things that are the same between us.
art bell
I see.
unidentified
Anyway, it seems that you were kind of affected by her, and I was kind of interested in reversing your question and what we thought to what you thought.
I've never heard you say that you, you know, reincarnation seemed to be making sense to you there.
art bell
Reincarnation has made sense to me for a long time, sir.
A long time prior to talking to Miss Prophet.
It was an honor to speak with her, but I've considered that as a possibility.
Now, underline possibility, because I'm not so sure of anything.
I wish I had faith in one single thing I don't.
That's my cross to bear.
But I think reincarnation is certainly a possibility.
What about you?
unidentified
Well, I mean, I'm convinced there's reincarnation.
I've had some interesting experiences with memories and especially other countries.
I had this vision, a waking vision, laying in bed of a scene in India.
And there was sitar music in my ears.
You have to remember, I'm not asleep here.
I'm meditating.
And I see a scene in a restaurant.
And I know nothing about India, but I know where I am.
And I've never eaten in an Indian restaurant.
On that weekend, I made sure to go to one.
art bell
That sounds exactly to me like, thank you, what Elizabeth Claire Prophet said, started her on this whole path.
In a sandbox when she was very young, I think, what did she say, six?
And suddenly she was in Egypt.
Suddenly in Egypt.
You know, I don't.
I wouldn't necessarily tell you that I can agree or embrace everything that she embraces.
But on the other hand, what I did want to do was do what the rest of the media does not do.
And that's what we do here.
And that is try and really find out what a person is about, what they really do believe.
And there are several things that came through with crystal clarity.
And that is that she believes in life, not death.
And that she is not leading a group of people to a self-propelled Armageddon, as would seem to be the case with the Heavensgate group.
We'll be right back.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premiere Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from April 10, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM from April
Coast to Coast AM from April 10, 1997.
10, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM from April 10, 1997.
You're listening to Arch Bell somewhere in time, tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
art bell
Well, wait till you hear this.
This is from Steve in Portland, who always writes, till the comet do us part.
Does Hillary Clinton listen to Coast to Coast?
This is an Associated Press article.
Hillary Rodham Clinton today denied administration officials tried to hush up a key figure in the Whitewater investigation by finding him work, calling that suggestion part of a never-ending fictional conspiracy.
She said, get this folks, the fuss over the Whitewater probe reminded her of, quote, some people's obsession with UFOs and Hailbop Comet some days.
End quote, hours later, President Clinton threw back his head and laughed when he heard about his wife's remark and said, did she say that?
That's pretty good, he told reporters.
Asked if he agreed with Mrs. Clinton's assessment, the president added, if I didn't, I wouldn't disagree with her in public.
unidentified
Yeah, I bet you wouldn't.
art bell
And that reminds me of an earlier news story about, it was entitled, it was the Associate Press.
It's buried under here.
Yeah, here it is.
Mrs. Clinton denies hush money.
Actually, it does cover the UFO thing in here.
Let me read it to you as it came across Reuters.
Hillary Rodham Clinton says the Whitewater affair is a never-ending fictional conspiracy pursued by zealous critics who remind her of the UFO cult followers who committed mass suicide.
The First Lady's colorful remarks were part of a denial of any White House attempt to get hush money to former Associate General Webster Hubble to keep him from telling all he knows.
Now, I liked the headline.
Mrs. Clinton denies hush money.
What else would you expect?
I mean, how else would you read that headline?
Mrs. Clinton admits hush money?
Or, yes, we paid him big bucks?
Or, you know, I just, of course she denies hush money.
And I'm not saying that any hush money was paid.
I'm just laughing at the headline.
And by the way, I've got some pretty good quotes for you as the show goes on.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Oh, hello.
Black Bell?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Oh, hi.
I've been listening to your program off and on.
If I Don't Fall Asleep, it's so interesting.
I wondered if you have ever visited Prophet's place.
art bell
No, I never have.
unidentified
Well, my husband got very interested in her, and we went up there to see the whole place.
And it really is a cult.
I hate to tell you, but we spoke to people.
She sells property to the people.
At that time, this is several years ago.
art bell
Well, that doesn't make it a cult.
unidentified
No, but she sells it to them for $48,000, and then they have to give it back to her.
And they're only allowed a strip of land there.
And we spoke to people that they're terrified to go on the outside because she depicts just doom for everybody if they leave that place.
And one man was terribly upset.
He said he just hates it there.
art bell
His wife is terrified.
But ma'am, I have had countless, you know, her visit to come on the show to be a guest was advertised, I don't know, two or three weeks ahead of time.
And I've had countless faxes and emails from people who were, you know, inside with varying opinions, but none of them said that there was any problem when they wanted to leave.
They just walked out.
unidentified
Well, yes, it's again an inner strength.
art bell
So it's not that, but what I'm trying to say is, when you're saying it's a cult, my traditional understanding of a cult is that it doesn't quite work that way.
People just don't walk out when they want to.
unidentified
Well, I don't know how many have walked out because we could have stayed for dinner, but these people donate all their services and it's some very intelligent people.
art bell
you were one one day there uh...
yes but i mean what we can only went out of it and that's There wasn't a smiling face in there.
unidentified
It was very depressing.
These people just, there wasn't one person who looked happy, I'll tell you that.
art bell
All right.
Well, look, I appreciate your call, but I'm sorry I'm not buying into it's a cult because I didn't see smiles on their faces.
Or I went to visit and they didn't seem happy.
unidentified
God, that's so dangerous.
art bell
The reason I had her on was so that you could actually hear what the woman believes.
Whether or not you agree with what she said, I wanted to do what most of the American media does not do, and that's actually allow you to hear what she believes.
Not to clip up sound bites and serve them up in an effort to shape a story the way you want it to be.
Cult, guns, bunkers, that sort of thing.
Did you really sense that that's what she was all about as you listened?
Did you sense that here was a woman who was going to bring about as David Koresh did, either by antagonizing the authorities or himself firing the first shot, depending on what you believe about that.
He brought on his own apocalypse.
Did you sense that from her?
No, I don't think so.
That's why I had her on.
I've had a pretty good taste myself lately of what the American media serves up when it decides it wants a story portrayed in a certain way.
It's not fair.
A wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Good evening, Arn.
art bell
Good evening.
unidentified
Yes, we had occasion, Bob and Pocatella.
We had occasion to visit the Church Universal Triumph.
art bell
You actually went over and visited, huh?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
You know, we had made some acquaintances up here in the park of some pretty sensitive and talented people.
And their ranch is, oh, of course, their property goes up from Gardiner to South Entrance.
And this lady was concerned about the buffalo being killed.
I might say the state of Montana is doing the killing of the buffalo.
art bell
Yeah, I know there's a big fight going on about that.
They just sort of wanted to lump her in with that.
unidentified
Well, I just wanted to set that straight.
But in any case, you know, their freedom to worship the way they want to worship is assuring that is assuring my freedom to worship the way I want to worship.
And I think what happened at Waco, I mean, people are free to believe what they want to believe.
And I was very concerned for the church universal triumph when the thing happened down at Waco because I think they have a parallel thing.
Probably you have and I have, that is, that I have collected firearms since I was a teenager and I believe that the Second Amendment means what it says.
art bell
That's right.
unidentified
And she has this common belief.
And anyway, on the visit to the ranch, my wife and I were especially impressed by their teaching of the children.
They're making do the best they can with the resources they have.
And we had an opportunity to visit converted some mobile homes into classrooms, and we visited several grades.
And they use a Montessori instruction system.
art bell
So you really got a pretty good look.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, we spent a whole day at it.
And children use the McGuffey readers and we got to visit there.
They don't eat much meat, all right, but they make bread, good heavy bread out of all.
art bell
Well, I'd be in trouble then.
I like burgers.
unidentified
You and me both.
I like a good ripped steak one.
art bell
All right, well, listen, thank you very much.
You don't have a problem with that.
Matter of fact, I had two delicious hamburgers tonight before I got on the air.
Absolutely delicious.
But that's a small matter, and the point that man was trying to make is well taken.
One, that it's more than time that we stopped looking at people because they possess firearms to protect themselves with so what?
Now, I know that doesn't go down so easily on the East Coast, but I live out here in the West.
I live, and I mentioned it during the interview, in an area where if somebody came after me, I am my own first line of protection.
I have no illusions about that.
And those who live out here and think that they will be protected if somebody comes after them are, in my opinion, delusional.
Yes, the police, the sheriff, they'll do whatever they can.
But when there is a large space between you and those who would endeavor and certainly try to protect you, then, well then, in my opinion, you better be able to protect yourself.
There's no guarantees in life, but you do what you can.
And the Second Amendment says you have that right.
And I believe it is not only a Second amendment right, but it's a God-given or creator-given right for you to protect your own life.
That, folks, is choosing life.
And if there was a thread throughout the interview with Mrs. Prophet, it was the choice of life.
Did you not get that?
Did that not come through?
Whether you agree or disagree with what she believes from a spiritual point of view, it was obvious that she believes in life.
The End East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, how are you, Art?
art bell
I'm fine.
unidentified
Man, it's great to talk to you.
Let me tell you, I agree with Ms. Prophet and I disagree with Ms. Prophet, and I'll tell you why.
And I think you and I are spiritual brothers in a lot of ways.
art bell
Maybe so.
unidentified
And you tell me if I'm wrong.
I see it as, I grew up Southern Baptist from South Carolina.
And I see it as I have questioned it, and I went through a struggle because being Baptist alone is enough to make you question.
And so, as I went through about six years of heavy debating, even thinking that maybe I was agnostic at some point, I finally have come to the conclusion, I see it as a pie.
As we have Christianity, we have Buddhism, we have a number of religions, and you add all of them into this piece of the pie.
And we've kind of broken our own pieces of the pie into Christianity, and this is what I believe.
Well, I think if we're willing to see, just like Miss Prophet has done, she has her piece of the pie, and who knows if we'll ever see that whole picture or eat the whole pie, if you will.
But if we'll just look beyond those walls, we'll see the connectedness in that it's one big pie.
It's not separate from one another.
All these pieces come together, and if we look outside of it, we'll see the connectedness of it.
But I think it's the things that we're taught keeps us limited into that little piece.
art bell
Well, I thought a key thing that she said, and you may have heard me ask her, a key thing she said was that there are many possible paths to the same answers, and not just hers.
She does not hold hers out as the only true path, the only true answer.
unidentified
And what a stress reliever that is.
I find the openness to people when you can see that connectedness and they say, okay, let's say they're Buddhist.
The connectedness, I mean, there's not a stress that you don't feel withdrawn from them because you know that you're a part of them.
art bell
Well, I appreciate that, sir.
Thank you.
You're right.
I'm leery of people and leaders who say, I am the only way.
I am the only path.
You must follow me, and any other path is going to send you down to shoveling coal into the fire if you follow me.
I'm not so sure there's any single path.
I think there are many paths for a person to become spiritual on their own.
Does that make sense to you?
It does to me.
And I know a lot of you are sitting out there saying, blasphemy, there's only one true path.
Well, I'm sorry, I'm not that sure.
unidentified
So burn me.
Oh, sure.
art bell
We'd love to.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Art.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Hey, this is William from Seattle.
How are you doing?
art bell
Fine.
unidentified
Hey, I am a student of Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
And I'll tell you, she is a wonderful woman, and it was great to have her on your show.
art bell
Well, you know what got to me was a lady who called a little while ago.
unidentified
I heard it.
art bell
And she said, well, I went out there.
I could have stayed for dinner, but I didn't.
And I've got to tell you, it's a cult.
I saw it.
They didn't smile.
It was a cult.
unidentified
No.
I'm telling you.
I thought that was kind of funny because, you know, people tend to judge based on their own opinions, basically, on their own perceptions.
art bell
Well, at least the lady went out there and made a judgment.
But most people are judging and saying that based on what the American media reports.
And I've seen a number of reports on Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
And they painted her the same way every time.
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you, I have a group of friends out here.
We're all in the church.
And we listen to your show every night.
And I think the thing we like about you, too, and I think most of your callers could probably agree with this, is the quality of the heart.
People can lie, but when you get to a point, you can see through it.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
And it was like, how much of what she was saying sounded like a lie?
You know, that's what really interested me in the church from the beginning.
art bell
Now, what I was trying to tell people is, and I know that a lot of people disagree with her philosophy of spiritualism, which is fine.
But when you listen to her voice, it should have been absolutely obvious over the three hours that she's totally sincere.
unidentified
Oh, no doubt.
art bell
And that she's no David Koresh.
And that she's not somebody who's going to lead a bunch of people into drinking Kool-Aid or slopping down some pudding and going off into the next level.
unidentified
You know, she gives a good explanation of why people don't always remember past lives.
And I'd like to tell your listeners about this.
There's something that she calls it God's grace.
It's the veil of forgetfulness.
Yes.
Now, how many of us have done bad things, terrible things, or whatever kind of things, that we feel guilty, right?
Now, imagine having a thousand lifetimes and being able to remember all the wrong things you've done.
I mean, that would be burdensome.
art bell
A big burden.
unidentified
Yeah, so you figure if karma is the return of actions, actions and reactions, basically what's going to happen is you're going to go through life, like you said your wife was telling you, you're going to go through things and you're going to get return things, good or bad, and you're going to have to deal with them.
So let God deal with that.
You know, giving it back to you.
One other thing I wanted to mention is last week, my brother Chris and I faxed you some lyrics to a song that we wrote called The Quickening.
And we're coming out with a C D and I want to get it to you.
And I don't know.
I know that there were some other people who called up saying about music they had written some.
art bell
You actually wrote something called The Quickening.
unidentified
Yeah, and I think that You'll really like it.
And I'm sure.
Oh, this is another thing I wanted to mention.
This is why I've been trying to call all night.
I haven't gotten your book yet.
But do you talk anything about the quickening with the entertainment industry?
Because one thing I've noticed is, yes, it's happening with our government, it's happening in religious situations, but as a musician, and I've been given a blessing by my teacher, who is Elizabeth Claire Prophet, to write music to actually teach people.
Because what do we see nowadays?
We see bands out there, and I'm not necessarily trying to judge their music, but look at the subtlety of their message.
The heart of the rock and roll and the lyrics to these things.
I think they're promoting the quickening in a very subtle way.
A very subtle way.
art bell
Well, look, I've even wondered about myself, sir.
I appreciate your call.
I've had deep thoughtfulness about my own part in it.
In other words, am I documenting it?
Or am I at the head of the parade?
Well, I think that I'm documenting it.
Am I ducking this one?
No, I don't think so.
I've thought it out carefully myself.
And I believe that I am documenting it.
And I believe that exposing its ongoing occurrence is an important thing to do, hence the book.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, look at the radio.
art bell
Yes, turn that sucker off.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right.
Where are you?
unidentified
This is JJ in Austin.
art bell
All right.
Hi, JJ.
unidentified
Hi, I lost you earlier.
art bell
You sure did.
unidentified
Yeah, I was going to ask a couple of questions.
I didn't realize you were so short on time.
I'm going to at least ask one of these questions to you to just get your take on it.
art bell
Sure, go ahead.
unidentified
And before I ask it, I've got to say, the guy that just called in that gave the analogy of the pie, that was beautiful.
I've been looking for that analogy for years.
Like I told you earlier, I grew up in a mainstream, non-denominal Christian home.
art bell
All right, we've got to do this quick, JJ.
unidentified
Okay, when looking for your soulmate, should you just ignore everybody else?
art bell
Well, all right.
What she said, JJ, was, when looking for your soulmate, don't go out there and physically search.
What she said was, build within yourself, and there will be a light around you, and when you meet your soulmate, there will be no question about it.
She said, I believe in love at first sight.
And by the way, JJ, so do I. You'll know, trust me, you won't have to ask questions.
You will simply know.
In all of your being, we'll be back.
unidentified

Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
The End
The End I see trees of green, red roses, too.
I see the blue for me in here, and I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
I I see skies of blue and clouds of white the bright blessed day.
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from April 10th, 1997.
art bell
It is.
And it is a wonderful world, isn't it?
I've got some unforgettable quotes for you here in a moment.
unidentified
The colors of the rainbow.
art bell
Anti-smoking spokesperson Brooke Shields once said, quote, smoking kills.
And if you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.
Former Vice President Dan Quayle once said, we're ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur.
unidentified
I've watched them grow, they'll find much more, and I'll never know.
art bell
Or the former mayor of Chicago, Mayor Daly, once said, the police are not here to create disorder.
They're here to preserve disorder.
He actually said that.
Ronald Reagan actually said, if you've seen one redwood tree, you've seen them all.
Of course, he has a sense of humor.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.

Hi, I'm Louise from the San Francisco Bay Area Coastside.
art bell
Hello, Louise.
unidentified
We have spent some time with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
art bell
Have you?
unidentified
We used to live in Montana.
Ah.
We moved up there the same month, same year as they did, about 70 miles from their ranch.
We didn't know that they moved there.
We didn't even know who they were.
art bell
Oh, I see.
unidentified
I have quite a story to tell.
We have volunteered to go on to the TV interviews or anything whenever they were trying to put down Elizabeth Clare Prophet as people who did not belong to her organization, but people who know them.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Came to know them.
We were told when we moved in that we belonged to her organization by the locals and we didn't know anything about it.
art bell
Why do you think the locals just because you lived near there would think you were a part of it?
unidentified
Because we were from California also and she moved from California.
art bell
Well there's a lot of people that moved from California out to my state and Montana and Idaho and all kinds of spacier places.
unidentified
This is what occurred and we saw the locals bankrupt at least a dozen businesses of people that came and moved from California and set up businesses there who were not associated with her.
But the locals became so paranoid that they felt that anybody from California.
art bell
Yeah, but you know what the fault of the you know why?
It's because of the media.
I'll tell you something.
I've learned a big lesson in the last few weeks about our media.
I sincerely mean this, and a lot of you who are regular listeners to my program, I suspect, have learned this lesson along with me.
And I mean this from the bottom of my, and it's one of the reasons I had Elizabeth Claire Prophet on, because I wanted you to really hear her, what she believed.
And I found that generally when the media, whether it's print media and they're a little better, television is the worst offender of all, when they come to visit you, ostensibly to get the truth or a story, very, very, very few of them in 1997 really care at all about getting the story.
There are some exceptions, and I could name them, but I won't.
I just simply learned over this last several weeks that the media makes up their mind about who you are and what you are, or a story.
And, you know, I don't want to go back into the whole hail-bop thing, but that's the origins of it, and then the suicides and all the rest of it.
And once the media has decided they're going to tell a story a certain way, by God, they're going to tell it that way, and don't let the facts get in the way.
They don't want to hear about the facts, particularly if it's going to ruin the angle of their story.
And so, sometime ago, the media decided that Elizabeth Claire Prophet was leading a cult.
And they talk about the weapons, and they talk about the bunkers, and they talk about bunker mentality, and all the rest of that.
And nobody ever really sits down and listens to what her belief system is.
Now, did she sound to you like David Koresh?
Did she sound to you like somebody who was or is trying to instigate her own Armageddon?
Not even close.
Not if you listened.
Now, you may certainly disagree with her spiritual philosophy, and that's fine.
But the point of the interview, the real point of the interview was that you understand what her philosophy is.
You may disagree with it, but that you understand it so that you understand it is not what ABC's 2020 portrayed it to be or what so many other news organizations who are bent on telling the story the way they want the angle to be.
Instead, we had three hours and we laid it out.
So I know a lot of you disagree with her view of spirituality.
All right?
Biblically, religiously, you disagree.
But one thing I think you should have gathered from that interview is that this is a woman who believes in life, not death, who believes that if there is prophecy, there is hope to try and change it, not to make it self-fulfilling.
That should have come through crystal clear.
If it did, then we did a service, I hope.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Good morning, Art.
I very much enjoy your show, and I'm so glad I got through.
My name's Rick.
I'm calling from the south side of Chicago in Flosspoor.
art bell
Hey there, Rick.
unidentified
How are you this morning?
art bell
Very well.
unidentified
All right.
Mind a question about Rodney Barker.
That was probably one of your most intriguing shows I've heard.
Glad you liked it.
My question is, did you do any more, how should I say, investigating or looking into basically his claims or what is really going on in the Caribbean?
art bell
I would say that about 90% of the people who responded, who had looked into this, verified that what he said is exactly true.
unidentified
Well, I have to say that myself.
I lived in North Carolina for a couple of years in Wilmington, the Cape Fear River, and I have friends there who I called that day.
And I actually went and got one of his books, but I called and talked to them, and they verified pretty much right down the lines of everything he said.
I mean, they didn't know, of course, the specifics, but I mean, my friends live near the ocean, or one of them lives right on the ocean, and I was just so appalled because I love seafood, and, you know, I've lived near the ocean most of my life.
So, I mean, I, wow.
I mean, what can we do?
I mean, is probably be my next question, if anything.
art bell
Well, actually, Elizabeth Claire Prophet was a lot more positive about where all this is going than I am.
I'm afraid I'm not that positive.
I think we've passed the point of no return.
unidentified
Right, like with the planes.
art bell
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
I do.
And that doesn't mean the end of the world, as I keep telling everybody.
It just means we're going to have a change.
And I think that, thank you very much, that I've documented that.
Again, book plug, book plug.
unidentified
This is really important to me.
art bell
This is really important to me.
I didn't write this book to make a bunch of money.
If it makes money, fine.
You know, authors don't make a lot of money in books.
I wrote this book because I wanted you to know.
I wanted to document for you carefully exactly what I've been telling you.
And I'm not a Native American, but I do believe that we are pushing Mother Earth.
And she's getting ready to push back.
As a matter of fact, the first pressure can be felt all around us in every area of human endeavor.
Socially, we talked about the blank-eyed little kids that are killing each other at an ever-increasing rate.
Violence among our young is just absolutely going through the roof.
Down a little bit, did you know, for adults?
But going way up among the young.
Why do you suppose that might be?
Way up.
That's where we've got our problem.
Drug use among the young, way up.
Economically, look down a few years and you'll see what's going to happen.
I describe it in the book.
Politically, my God, what a mess.
I view both present political parties as hopeless disasters, crippled by scandal and by meaningless debate.
And I could go on and on and on, and I do in this book.
That was the whole point of the book, and it's all quite well documented.
Is it simply a product of modern media?
In other words, we're hearing more about it?
That's the argument detractors would make of what I believe.
Well, my book will prove to you that indeed it is not simply more mass communication, that this trending, this quickening, is very real, absolutely real, and occurring now.
We're in the middle of it now.
And that's why I wrote this book.
It's important to me.
It's really important to me, and I think it's important to everybody.
And I'm not a prophet, so I sure can't tell you what's coming.
I can only tell you something is.
A change is on the way.
And when you have read this, you will be convinced.
Again, my book is called The Quickening.
The Quickening West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Good morning, Art.
art bell
Good morning.
unidentified
This is Charlie calling from Medford.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And I just want to make a little comment here real quick about if you've been watching any of your local network news on TV lately in the past two or three days about that missing bomber.
art bell
On the A-10.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
Have you noticed how even our local channels here in the Medford area are dropping little insidious little hints that this guy has just up and flown the coop with the plane?
art bell
Sure, broken arrow kind of.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
They're just dropping these insidious little hints, and they're slowly brainwashing the general public.
Now, when they find the plane, if it winds up being a crashed or downed airplane for whatever reason, they're going to still be saying he was trying to fly it to outer Mongolia somewhere and trying to make him out to be some sort of a crook.
And what if something did go wrong?
You know, what the heck?
this is the way our media is going anymore.
Well, that's because it's...
art bell
That's a sir, sir, sir, sir, sir.
That's because it's a sexy story to tell.
Now listen to me for a moment.
For some reason or another, he was in the mountainous area of Colorado.
If his airplane went down in the mountains of Colorado, it may be arguably years, if it crashed, before the crash site is ever located.
unidentified
Oh, for sure.
art bell
So to be jumping to these conclusions is really premature.
But it's sexy.
unidentified
They're putting frills and fringes on it.
I'd be surprised how many of the people out there are eating it up with a big old spoon.
art bell
I know.
unidentified
It's terrible.
art bell
I know.
Of course, it could be.
I mean, it could be.
unidentified
Yeah, but it's not a problem.
art bell
But I think it is.
unidentified
I'm not sure if one way or the other, let's wait and hold on to it.
art bell
That's right.
That's right.
Thank you.
It is not the most likely a probability, in my opinion.
By far not the most likely.
It is the least likely.
But it is the sexiest to jump to.
To speculate about, oh my God, I mean, look at this.
What is today's date?
The 11th of April, right?
Now, what is the media really trying to tell us?
Let's cut through with a bull.
They're trying to say that the 19th is coming, the anniversary of Waco, and that we have some wild officer of the U.S. Air Force that has taken an airplane armed with 2,000 pounds worth of bombs, and some sort of terrible, terroristic vengeance is going to be visited on the American people in retribution, the government for Waco, once again.
That's coming through the ball and saying it like it is, right?
Well, the most likely possibility is this plane crashed in the mountains.
If what people are insisting upon speculating about should come true, then God help us.
But I certainly would not jump to that as the most likely scenario.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Good morning, Art.
Good morning.
unidentified
This is Mike and Glendale.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
How are you?
art bell
Fine.
unidentified
Yeah, just a quick three points.
I don't think that how can anybody criticize Elizabeth when every member of Congress and their family has a bunker to go to, number one?
art bell
They sure do.
unidentified
And as far as prophecies, my view is, this is a conjecture, it's not a prophecy, is that the world situation is unclear and calls for pragmatism.
And finally, the thing I think I talked to you during a break about spiritualism.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And I think that there's spiritual inspiration, there's spiritualism, there's spiritual conditions, and they're all separate items.
And anybody on individual spiritual paths are just as dysfunctional as any organized religion, so no one has a monopoly on, quotes, righteousness, if you will.
art bell
Well, a lot of people think they do, which is what, of course, the problem is.
Theirs is the only true path, and if you don't believe that, then by God, we're going to have a war.
unidentified
I myself am one of those Republican Protestants of the Mother Nature Variation.
art bell
Republican Protestant of the Mother Nature Variation.
That's a new one.
unidentified
I think the First Lady has a crush on you, Aret.
art bell
Goodbye, sir.
Thank you for the call.
Her remarks are somewhat startling, aren't they?
And the President's response, I thought, was very interesting.
And he said, in essence, if I disagreed with her, I sure as hell wouldn't say so in public.
Now, I didn't hear the president say that.
Maybe some of you did.
So I would ask you, was there a big broad smile on his face when he said that, and a laugh?
Or did you detect an underlying fear as though were he to publicly disagree with her, there would be real hell to pay in the private part of the White House that night?
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Good morning, Arthell.
art bell
Good morning.
unidentified
Northern Minnesota call it.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Had a tremendous northern light display this morning.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
Right about 1.32 o'clock our time.
I mean, Art, it looked like a Hollywood opening out there with fire-breathing dragons.
art bell
Well, in today's society, you might suggest it was, and people would believe it.
Hollywood did it.
unidentified
Well, I can imagine what would happen if some of our ancient ancestors had seen that.
I mean, I just stood there for a half hour and just watched it.
It's about 10 degrees out there, too.
art bell
Do you happen to recall Father Martin?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Do you remember what he said about seven to ten days or so, something in the skies?
Watching it.
unidentified
Correct.
And I don't know if that's it, because quite simply, it could have been that part of that flare that we're supposed to go through from the sun.
art bell
Oh, it probably was.
unidentified
Because I can tell you right now, normally I listen to you either out of Cleveland, Omaha, Chicago, and one other place, Minneapolis.
I couldn't pick you up on any stations earlier this morning during that.
art bell
Ah, we're talking magnetic storm.
unidentified
And I mean to tell you, WLS was the only station that I could even faintly pick you up on.
Minneapolis, which is only 200 air miles from me, I couldn't pick up anything.
It was just dead.
art bell
Well, that's a testament then to WLS's ability to plow through even a depleted ionosphere.
unidentified
But I can only tell the people I'm surprised nobody else called you.
It was absolutely spectacular, Art.
art bell
I appreciate the call, sir.
Thank you.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
And don't rule out what Father Malachi said.
There would, of course, be a scientific explanation for it, right?
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Hey, do I get the honors?
art bell
Well, actually, now that I look at the clock, you do.
Yes, you do.
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm in Palm Desert, California.
art bell
That's a good place to do them from.
Hey, you know what?
unidentified
What?
art bell
I'm going to be doing an interview later this morning in Palm Desert.
Might listen for it.
On your radio station.
All right, do it.
Okay.
Good night, America.
Well, that's the way to do it.
I will add to it the rest of the cosmos.
Thank you all.
I'm Art Bell from the High Desert.
