Richmond IONS November 2021 Meeting

“Jefferson from Beyond the Veil.”

Our November 20,2021 program will feature a talk by Richmond author, historian and CV IONS Community Group member, Suzanne Munson, to discuss her intriguing new book, The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson.

Prepare for an intriguing visit to the mind of Thomas Jefferson, from his place in spirit. In her new book, The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson, writer Suzanne Munson asked several Jefferson scholars: “If you could speak with Thomas Jefferson today, what questions would you ask?”

She presented the inquiries as a “class exercise,” as she had taught some Jefferson history at the university level. These questions, plus some of her own, were channeled through a respected medium, Jana Anna, in eight hours of recorded sessions.

The subjects were wide-ranging: Jefferson’s current views on government, foreign policy, higher education, race relations, the media, the military, religion, slavery, and other Founding Fathers, including Alexander Hamilton. Jefferson quipped, “Who knew Hamilton would become a song and dance man?”

Suzanne learned of Jana Anna during a Richmond IONS presentation several years ago by Irene Kendig, author of Conversations with Jerry and Others I Thought Were Dead, an international book award winner consisting of seven compelling readings by this medium.

Suzanne concluded that if Jana could channel “regular” people, why not someone famous? Why not Thomas Jefferson? The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson is trending well on Amazon and received this review from Jeffrey Long, M.D., author of the New York Times bestseller, Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences: “Future leaders of America need to read this book.

The wisdom it contains could help steer this country in the right direction for generations. This is a remarkable, exceptionally well-written work, with the ring of reality.”

Suzanne was a guest speaker for our group in 2019 about her previous book, Jefferson’s Godfather: The Man Behind the Man, and we are extremely pleased to have her back.

Richmond IONS May Meeting Program Title:

“Channeling Thomas Jefferson and George Wythe.”

Our May 18, 2019, program will feature a talk by Richmond author, historian and CV IONS Community Group member, Suzanne Munson. She will share fascinating insights gleaned while writing her breakthrough George Wythe biography, Jefferson’s Godfather, the Man Behind the Man (2018).

While writing Wythe’s story, Suzanne became intrigued by the Power of One—the ability of just one individual to set changes in motion to benefit an entire society.

As America’s first professor of law, Wythe addressed the nation’s leadership crisis after the Revolution by turning his law school at the College of William and Mary into the country’s first training program for future statesmen.

About Wythe’s influence

Judged by student achievement in high public office, he was unquestionably the most influential teacher in American history. At his death in 1806, Wythe’s former pupils were virtually running the country.

A leader among leaders, Wythe was a prophet of the American Revolution, signer and organizer of the Declaration of Independence. As well, he was a champion of the Constitution, Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, groundbreaking judge, reformer and humanitarian, and outspoken abolitionist. What’s more, his impeccable ethics provide a refreshing example for leaders today.

In her background research for Wythe’s biography, Suzanne made use of all traditional resources available—personal papers, letters, diaries, and numerous historic books and articles.

At the same time, she also became interested in the work of medium and channel Jana Anna. Jana’s readings formed the basis of a book by Irene Kendig (Conversations with Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead). Irene spoke to our IONS group in 2013.

Meanwhile, Jana channels historical figures among other subjects. Suzanne decided to ask her to channel Thomas Jefferson and his mentor George Wythe. She will share the fascinating results with us on May 18. We love it when our members write books, and we especially love it when our programs help inform the content of the books they write.
