Harriet Tubman Psychic Spy

#1
Magical Realist Online
"You might’ve heard that Harriet Tubman is one of the top contenders to be the first woman on U.S. paper currency – the $20 bill. She lived an amazing and heroic life and would be very worthy of the honor. But it’s not widely known that Tubman was psychic and used her abilities on the Underground Railroad transporting freed slaves to the North. She also later worked as a spy for the Union during the Civil War and it seems likely she used her mysterious abilities once again.

Harriet Tubman was born a slave in Maryland in the early 1820s and was nearly killed by an overseer who struck her in the forehead with a two-pound piece of lead after she refused to help him hold onto a boy slave who was trying to escape. Tubman died and came back and, in the aftermath, began experiencing visions of the future. She was able to escape from slavery in 1849 and become a leading abolitionist before the American Civil War.

She returned to the South numerous times to rescue both family members and non-relatives from the plantation system. She helped hundreds of slaves escape and was never caught, a fact that she attributed to her precognitive abilities. She said she was able to see into the future to where the slave hunters would be searching for her. She was also able to see houses where the people would take in runaway slaves, feed them, and give them a place to sleep for the night.

She became known as the Moses of her people and the most famous ‘conductor’ on the Underground Railroad, an elaborate secret network of safe houses organized for that purpose. In early 1858, Tubman had a vision that she would meet abolitionist John Brown, who advocated the use of violence to disrupt and destroy the institution of slavery. In April of that year, she was introduced to him. Tubman shared his goals and tolerated his methods. When Brown began recruiting supporters for an attack on slaveholders at Harper’s Ferry, he called on ‘General Tubman’ for help. After Brown was executed, Tubman praised him as a martyr.

When the Civil War broke out, Tubman worked for the Union Army as a cook and nurse. But because of her background and unique abilities, she quickly became an armed scout and spy. In fact, Harriet Tubman was probably America’s first psychic spy when she guided the Combahee River Raid, which liberated more than 700 slaves in South Carolina.

Can’t wait to see her on the $20 bill!"===http://blog.synchrosecrets.com/?p=24600

Good thing the "crank filters" of online forum boards weren't applied in this selection process. But the 19th century is probably just as much an historically exempt period as earlier eras that featured notable figures (including some scientists) with "eccentric" interests. Circa the 20th century is when it seemed to come crunch-time for some non-artistic institutional communities to systematically ignore or not take seriously (to some percentage or degree) an individual's merits or works once an oddball side of them was exposed.

Quote:Dr. Arthur Jones is associate dean of the Colorado Women's college at the University of Denver. He said there's a reason why Tubman was so successful.

"She kind of attributed her safety and sense of safety to the sense that she had these super natural powers," Jones said.

Of course, not everyone believes Tubman had supernatural powers. But Karen Fox has studied Tubman, and says the humanitarian's powerful intuition has been well documented in books like "Harriet Tubman: The Moses of her People."

"She writes about using her nighttime dreams where to take slaves so they can be free. She also had waking visions that would modify the dreams if she felt like you better stop and not go that way she wouldn't," Fox said

Fox is a former college professor with a PhD in sociology. She now works as a psychic. She said Tubman isn't the only famous person who succeeded using feelings that popped into their head. Conrad Hilton was the founder of the Hilton Hotel chain. He credits "hunches" and "intuition" for his ability to build a massive fortune.

Fox read a message from his biography.

"I've been accused more than once of playing hunches. Since I suppose I do and it sounds so mysterious, a little like following a Ouija board," Fox read.
