WASHINGTON (CNN) -- First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton held imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi as a therapeutic release, according to a new book written by Bob Woodward, says a report in Sunday's edition of The Chicago Sun-Times.

The first lady declined a personal adviser's suggestion that she address Jesus Christ, however, because it would be "too personal," according to Woodward's book, "The Choice."

The book, which is still to be published, takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Clintons, as well as Bob and Elizabeth Dole.

Woodward says the adviser was Jean Houston, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research, which he describes as a group that studies the psychic experience and altered and expanded consciousness.

The book portrays Houston as an influential adviser who urged Mrs. Clinton to write her book, "It Takes a Village and Other Lessons Children Teach Us," and in the process "virtually moved into the White House" for days at a time to help with revisions, the Sun-Times reported.

Woodward suggests the White House hoped to keep Mrs. Clinton's relationship with Houston and her talks with the dead a secret.

“Hillary, “I call upon you dark lord...”

[plain talk]

from wikipedia

"During the first term (1993–1997) of the Clinton administration, First Lady Hillary Clinton, while she was writing It Takes a Village (1996), invited Houston to work with her in the White House as an advisor. Houston suggested an imaginary meeting between Clinton and the deceased Eleanor Roosevelt. The First Lady duly submitted to the "visioning" and "role-playing" game. Bob Woodward's book The Choice revealed this exercise publicly in 1996."

Of course even stranger things have happened in the WH.

“Talking to dead -— must be thinking of all her past associates....”

Yeah, she goes out to Ft. Marcy Park to “commune” with her “friend” Vince Foster.

[beethovenfan]

May she soon join her “advisors”.

[GOPJ]

She’s married to Bill Clinton who’s off talking to other women... at least this way Hillary has someone to talk to...

[Bookwoman]

I talk to myself! No one else around here most of the time! I’ll only worry when I start answering myself.

[Elsie]

Some how...
some way...

I’ll GET you for this!

[Old Yeller]

She’s Catholic?

Hi Vince...

"First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton held imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt"

Channeling

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Why?

[TruthWillWin]

Why shouldn’t she talk to the dead? They are a significant part of her voting base.

[BenLurkin]

Because the Clintons are total phonies.

Question: "What does the Bible say about praying to / speaking to / talking to the dead?"

Answer: Praying to the dead is strictly forbidden in the Bible. Deuteronomy 18:11 tells us that anyone who “consults with the dead” is “detestable to the Lord.” The story of Saul consulting a medium to bring up the spirit of the dead Samuel resulted in his death “because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance” (1 Samuel 28:1-25; 1 Chronicles 10:13-14). Clearly, God has declared that such things are not to be done.

That’s hilarious!

Excellent, succinct, biblical overview of the topic. God bless.

Is this the same book written by the former “Secret Service” guy tagged to Hildabeast and Billy boy?

He confirmed she was a “higher level” witch than he was and almost everything they did went through her based on the book.

You're misquoting the parable -- the great gulf is between Heaven and "The Place of Torment" :

From Luke 16...

²⁴So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’ ²⁵But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are left to suffer. ²⁶And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

I respectfully disagree grey.

Many Biblical scholars agree that Christ's words meant that we cannot talk to the dead.

You can’t talk to dead family members. You will really be talking to demons who pose as them.

12. Luke 16:25-26 “But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted and you are in anguish. And besides, there is a great chasm separating us, and anyone wanting to come to you from here is stopped at its edge; and no one over there can cross to us.’

13. Hebrews 9:27-28 And just as it is destined that men die only once, and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died only once as an offering for the sins of many people; and he will come again, but not to deal again with our sins. This time he will come bringing salvation to all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for him.
