Topic: Patience Worth


In the News (Thu 21 Aug 08)

  
  ISS: Patience Worth: Rosalind Heywood
Who or what Patience Worth could be was and still is a mystery, but she was certainly a 'character' with a gift of biting repartee and a temperament very unlike Mrs Curran's.
Patience Worth also performed the feat of writing more than one novel at a time, a few hundred words of one and then of another, and even after a lapse of weeks she never forgot where to go on.
But Patience Worth differed from the Beauchamp and Fischer cases in that she did not replace Mrs Curran's normal consciousness, she was co-conscious with it.

In early sittings, Patience showed a fondness for aphorisms, but she soon progressed to serious and torrential literary output, dictating plays, dramatic poems, novels.
Patience Worth's Ouija-board messages could be considered an extreme from of so-called automatic writing, in which a spirit supposedly guides its host's hand in writing astral messages.
A psychological explanation for Patience- that she was a dissociated part of Currnan's own personality- is also given for a psychic phenomenon known as obsession.

 THE MYSTERY OF PATIENCE WORTH!
According to the spirit who called herself Patience Worth, she had lived in Dorsetshire, England in either 1649 or 1694 (the pointer included both dates) but even that information was difficult to obtain.
Finally, Patience became frustrated and said, "He who knoweth the hedgerows knoweth the yellow-hammer." Pearl and her husband later consulted an old encyclopedia and saw that the yellow-hammer in her vision was not a type seen in America, but only in England.
No verification was ever made that Patience Worth actually lived in the 1600’s and yet experts who studied Pearl Curran doubted that she could have produced the works attributed to the ghost on her own.

 Patience: It's Worth the Wait - Swedish MC, Seattle, Washington, WA
Patience can be defined in any number of ways, but it boils down to the ability to wait calmly before taking action and/or accept events that cannot be controlled.
True patience should not be confused with meekness, in which fear or lack of discipline leads to inactivity.
When a person is truly patient, understanding quickly supplants anger and empowers individuals to remain calm and solve problems more effectively.

 ISS: The Case of Patience Worth: An Outstanding Product of Automatic Writing: G. N. M. Tyrrell
Patience herself said of it: "Yea, yet look ye into the words o'me, Ye shall find whits o' this and that ta'en from here and there - yet foundationed upon the salt which flavours it o' my ain land." This seems to describe exactly what it was.
Curran, "I could not have understood the literature of Patience Worth had it been shown to me." It would not have interested her.
If secondary personalities of the type of Patience Worth are possible, they would afford an alternative to the view that Patience Worth is a discarnate entity; but, as we shall see later, they involve astonishingly complicated assumptions about the nature of the human being.

 Automatic Writing
Curran was not a practicing medium, nor did she have any interest in Spiritualism, yet during a period of three years, Patience Worth dictated through the process of automatic writing a stream of proverbs, lyric poetry, and plays, and a number of intricately constructed novels.
Whoever she was, the large body of literary works that bears her name was transmitted through the process of automatic writing, wherein a medium produces a script without the control of the conscious self—but allegedly under the control of a spirit entity.
Automatic writers must learn to wait quietly and patiently and then give in to the slightest impulse to move the pen or pencil, keeping the paper smooth with the free hand.
