She felt that God was the universe and if she could only touch a star, she could find God.
She was raised in a Methodist Church, but eventually moved onto Christian Science. She studied all the major religions of the world, and especially the many translations of the bible. She also read the writings of Lillian De Waters, and Joel Goldsmith for a while. Believing her thirst for God could be quenched through music, she embarked on a career as a concert pianist and, at one point, decided to teach piano for an extensive period of time.
In 1957, in a small town in Nevada, she published “Just Be Yourself” and the textbook to this approach, “Your Self Revealed”, and the Ultimate Absolute was born. The name of her teaching is “The Ultimate”, and its major thesis is that God is All. Many writings, tapes and lecture/class tours followed until well into the 1970’s.view less
