I consider my self both a Scientist and a Historian. If I had accepted any particular Region or anyone else’s explanation of the nature of reality, I suppose I would have stopped seeking and not concerned myself with the origin of this revelation. Many will say that if I am have not accepted this Book, that I do not belong here. Maybe yes, maybe no. Rest assured that I am only using the information provided here to research.
As I try to get busy reading the Book, I get stalled by the origin of the text. Do the readers here go back and look, or just assume that they already know what they need to know? Dr. William S. Sadler does not come out (in his time) and reveal that it was a sleeping patient that began the “Channeling” of extraterrestial information. It was not in his best interest to tell anyone. I would have disgraced him as a Doctor and perhaps to the Kellogg family. I also looked up Sioux Oliva for additional information.
Odd that one of my old influences Phineas P. Quimby also had a “subject” that he “hypnotised”. This led him to a healing career. He died abut 1866. His ideas were more or less stolen by Mary Baker Eddy who founded Christian Scientist.
So, the book evolved (and supporting documents were located), but no one can really pinpoint any origin. It seems that Sious Oliva is a reader of the book and gives great credit to the knowledge it contains. She says that if William Sadler wrote it himself, he would be right up there with DaVinci.
I believe when Dr. Sadler did write a book about a doctor and a (Unknown) patient, no one would publish it. When he did die, the newspapers gave him great credit but mentioned nothing about his contact with celestial beings. I believe even the Doctor was skeptical in regards to “mediums”. We all should be. There are “thought or beings out there” that have been channeling since humans could talk. It turns out that the writer Richard Bach wrote “Illusions” using automatic writing. It is impossible to determine how many poems and songs came to us this way.
