course, modern metaphysicians don’t believe in devils. We create the [according to our
beliefs]. At any rate, he was a deeply spiritual person who suffered a great deal. Note in
this chart we have the Mars-Neptune conjunction instead of the Mars-Moon that we have
for Komar and Jack Swartz. Both of those combinations I have seen repeatedly where
they hold back their own power. Of course traditional cosmobiology would tell you that
that’s an illness aspect. Well, it does not have to be an illness! But if you block your own
ability to assert yourself and do your own thing, then of course it will create illness.
Ok. We have another remarkable psychic, Arthur Ford, probably one of the better
known psychics of our century, along with Edgar Cayce. [Born 1-8-1897 at 8:30 am

He was one of the founders of Spiritual Frontier Fellowship which is an
organization still going all over the country, trying to bring awareness of psychic
phenomenon back into the traditional Christian churches. The early Christian church was
just shot-through with psychic phenomena. The apostles all had the gifts of the spirit
which were all these psychic abilities that we talked about. Then it hot hierarchialized
and institutionalized; you know, in astrological terms, eventually it became Capricorn in
nature and lost its Piscean quality or roots. Jesus came as a Piscean dispensation, to give
Piscean insight. It got turned over to the Capricorn side of life, as all institutions do in
time, and it pushed the psychic phenomena out. Mystics are treated very badly generally
by the institutional church. After they’re dead they become saints, but while they’re still
here, they get put down. They are seen as a threat to the institution.
Anyway, Arthur Ford was able to keep his psychic ability but he did have a
serious problem. It started originally with a critical auto accident. He was nearly killed.
They gave him heavy sedation with Codiene, and by the time he got out of the hospital,
he was hooked on codeine. And to break the drug addiction, he took alcohol, and he was
never able to break the alcohol addiction! He ended up fighting alcohol to the day he
died. But he was a very good psychic. A lot of evidential material came through him.
Like Cayce, he went into trance and someone else spoke through him. His spirit guide
called himself Fletcher. Ford worked with Bishop Pike, and also that famous magician,
Houdini. He claimed to have brought Houdini’s message to his wife, and his wife
acknowledged it privately to Ford, but would not acknowledge it publicly.
The best book about Ford’s life is the first one that was written by Marguerite Bro
who was involved in that early beginning of Spiritual Frontier Fellowship. She wrote the
first article about Cayce that went to Cosmopolitan magazine, and put Edgar Cayce on
the map in terms of publicity. And she worked with Ford all her life. She wrote the book
titled “Nothing So Strange.” It’s long out of print but get it if you can at a library. It’s a
good biography of Ford. He and Bro did it together but she actually wrote it.
Anyway, Ford was a very good mental medium. He didn’t claim physical
phenomena. It was purely mental, except he tried a little work with healing. Notice that
loaded 4 th house and the loaded Pisces in the 1 st house. We have Scorpio up in the 9 th .
So the water signs and a water house are there strongly. We have a Neptune-Pluto in a
wide conjunction. Of course hundreds, thousands, millions of people have come in with
a Neptune-Pluto conjunction, but it’s a question of prominence in a chart. Here it’s
conjunct Mars and that makes it prominent. The Moon is in the 1 st house in Pisces also
