Dear Mr. Fernal: September 13, 2001 I received your e-mail from Susie Zeidner, New Hartford, NY, who received it from Joseph Paul Zeidner. Thank you! I sent it to twenty people I know. Note that for at least the prior two weeks, some of us psychics were very uneasy. I went to Swarthmore, PA, to celebrate my mother's 75th birthday on Saturday, September 1st, but didn't arrive till Sunday, the 2nd, since I was so emotionally wiped out before the World Trade Center bombing. I had thought we were going to have a "major crash worse than 1929," and told her that on Friday, the 7th, after returning from my grandmother's home in NYC. I thought it was the Nikkei crashing down that would lead to a major drop in the stock markets and currency shifts for about a week or so. I even told her that the thought of suicide had crossed my mind, and I didn't know where that came from, since I always work life's problems out....I am a true survivor, and temper my optimism with realism. My mother told me to "Wash my mouth out!" The thought of a crash was too emotionally upsetting to her. On Monday, September 10th, I phoned my cousin in Madrid, to tell her to take out enough money from the bank to cover one week's expenses because the crash was imminent. Not that the banks would close, but that there would be long lines at the ATMs and she should be prepared. Tuesday, September 11th, I phoned Madrid around 9:20 A.M. after...hearing the news on National Public Radio, and she was sitting there watching CNN on SkyTV with her husband, who has been a commercial pilot for 25 years. She said it was unbelievable what was going on. I agreed, and now she knew why I called her the prior day. All of us, especially former New Yorkers, are grieving. No one can even imagine the no-win situation of having to choose between burning to death or jumping out a window to a death 60 stories below. Life is very fragile: one minute everything seems okay, and then all hell breaks loose! We must grieve, we must honor those who died senselessly, and we must be examples for all those peoples that don't have a society like ours -- free and democratic. Above all, we must have love in our hearts, practice respect for each individual, and learn from one another. We must not let hate break our spirit. We know that our government has the difficult task of dealing with mass terror, and that innocent people will probably be killed in the reprisal. We need to pray for them too: how far from the light these people are that die for political tactics. Each mother holds her baby in her arms and has plans for it to be better than the previous generation, to have life easier, to achieve its dreams. No one possibly thinks that their child will be a mass murderer or the victim of one. We are in this planet together, we are all connected, we are all one even with our differences.
