The Farm Boy Who Built An Empire
By Listening To His Spirit Teachers
By Brad Steiger
2-25-8 - During his early childhood on his father's eastern New York farm in the mid-1860s, Arthur Edward Stilwell was given to daydreaming while he performed his daily chores. By the time he was thirteen, he had acquired the ability to fall into altered states of conscious ness and receive advice from six spirits who came to him as his ethereal teachers.
Three of the entities told young Arthur that they had been engineers during their life experiences on Earth, two had been writers, and the sixth ghostly guide had been a poet. If he would listen to them, they promised, he would build a great empire and become rich far beyond a poor farm boy's wildest dreams.
Before Stilwell died on September 26, 1928, he had built the Kansas City Southern Railway; the Kansas City Northern Connecting Railroad; the Kansas City, Omaha, and Eastern; the Kansas City, Omaha, and Orient; the Pittsburgh and Gulf Railroad; and the Port Arthur Ship Canal. He had been responsible for the laying of more than 2500 hundred miles of double-track railroad and, including Port Arthur, Texas, founded a total of forty towns. His vast empire employed more than 250,000 persons and extended from the extensive rail road network to pecan farming, banking, land development, and mining.
