These excerpts are all from letters to my mother. My mother is a double Aquarius and you can see the Aquarian themes here. He is making sure she knows he is no impinging on her freedom…and “friendship” is an Aquarian concept.

Henry was born in 1900, so it is easy to track how old he was when he wrote these letters. He is 55 when he can walk on his hands, for example.

Letter to my mother June 14, 1954 (My mother is fifteen here)

“…I thought you might want to visit your mother while they came over. I am not telling you what to do, just asking for information; you just do what you want to do.”

Letter to my mother September 21 1955 (She is sixteen, married and pregnant)

Friendships should be valued above most other things as they will go right on in the next life. Most things you can’t take with you, but friendships will endure through the ages…”

Letter to my mother October 29, 1956

“…I talked to (her cousin)’s new boyfriend. He is Italian and nice looking. He is psychic and gets information from spirits all the time. He said that some of his ancestors were gypsies and all gypsies believe in spirits…”

Letter to my mother March 14 1956

In this life, the only important thing is spiritual development (all other things are only temporary).
