Episode #67
Suzanne Munson joins me on the podcast today to talk about her latest book The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson. A unique and interesting way of finding out what’s in the mind of one of the most well known historic figures.
PREMISE: IF YOU COULD TALK WITH THOMAS JEFFERSON, WHAT QUESTIONS WOULD YOU ASK?
Eight Jefferson authorities devised questions, thinking they were participating in a “history class project.” Instead, they became part of an amazing adventure: a journey to the immortal mind of Mr. Jefferson himself, facilitated by an experienced medium.
From his place in spirit, Jefferson is not happy with the evolution of America’s government and culture since the days of the Founding Fathers. America’s government has lost its footing and is in need of a new revolution--not of war, but of integrity, he observes.
The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson records his views on Congress, the presidency, foreign policy, higher education, the military, religion, the media, slavery, race, and Sally Hemings. On government, Jefferson is discouraged by generations of “corruption, self-dealing, conformity, and confusion” in Washington. He is especially concerned about a gradual, insidious loss of freedom in the country.
The book concludes with Jefferson’s call to action to the next generation of leaders: to form “Circles of Integrity,” large enough to realize crucial reforms. He calls for a restructuring of all major American institutions.

She lectures on the legacy of these two Founding Fathers at the college level and at various other venues.
