Commentary and Inspirational Readings
by Host Elaine B. Holtz and Ken Norton
The producers of Women’s Spaces, Elaine Holtz and her partner Ken Norton, share some of what they are grateful for as we approach Thanksgiving in the midst of the pandemic and after a contested election this month. Amidst the traditional day of family gatherings, now restrained due to the pandemic precautions, the holiday Thanksgiving awakens the history of colonization and ensuing genocide the over 500 native nations experienced.
Interspersed with the music selections Elaine presents 3 of her poems:
Ken follows with a reading of The Seven Laws Governing the Evolution of Man’s Spiritual Nucleus by William Hermanns (1895-1990), and Elaine reads Dr. Hermanns’ Ten Words to the Creative Spirit.
Inspirational Readings:
Note: Elaine’s Poems that have been read during the show are collected at the Poetry: I Am Woman page (also accessible from the top menu bar).
Ken follows with a reading of The Seven Laws Governing the Evolution of Man’s Spiritual Nucleus by William Hermanns (1895-1990). Ken helped his mentor with the writing of the book manuscript: Vibrations of Heaven and Hell, at the end of the 1980’s when Dr. Hermanns was 90 years old. The manuscript is yet to be published.
Elaine then went on to read Ten Words to the Creative Spirit by William Hermanns, which he composed around 1980. Ken thinks of these 10 words as his Soulcraft control panel, and begins his day with contemplating these 10 Words so they more easily come to the fore of consciousness during the day:
