Doris Pratt

  Born in New York City, I’ve been connected to the spiritual all my life. I am a Lightworker, sharing my knowledge of higher spiritual truths through self-expression.

It seems to be what I agreed to do in this lifetime.

 

In the 1950s when I was was very small, I chose what I wanted to do. I looked at dance, poetry, singing and art, gave it some thought and chose art. Art came easy. I copied cartoons before I was in kindergarten, and was the class artist through most of grade school. As an adult, I had a Manhattan publishing career in art direction and later exhibited my abstract landscape paintings. First an art columnist and then a spiritual one, my articles progressed to a metaphysical focus. 
           

I was ordained an interfaith minister in 1997 in the Order of Melchizedek, a Lightworkers' non-denominational priesthood, and wrote my master’s thesis at Empire State College on “The Spirituality of the Creative Process” that same year. Four years later I was awarded my doctorate in my first love, Metaphysics, from the American Institute of Holistic Theology. Hospice work followed, and in 2002, I founded the Life Center for Metaphysics in upstate New York which hosted spiritual study groups such as A Course in Miracles, Edgar Cayce's Search for God,

along with numerous workshops and seminars.

 

I'm my family’s genealogist, and I’ve traced our Pratt family line from our first Pratt settler,

Macuth Pratt, who was born in England, c.1595. He came to Weymouth, Mass. via indentured passage, c.1635. After years of digging, I discovered my great-great-great grandfather, John Pratt, the founder of the town of Pratt's Hollow, located at the geographical center of New York State.    See his and his wife Sarah Barton Pratt's portraits on my 'Being Pratt, Part Two' page.

Over several decades I've found five Revolutionary War soldiers or patriots, including 

Matthew Pratt Sr., who hosted meetings at the beginning of the Revolution in his home in

Braintree, Mass., called Island House. 

​

I now live in Virginia Beach with Joe, my beloved husband of 17 years. I was on staff at the Association for Research and Enlightenment, founded by renowned psychic Edgar Cayce.              My first manuscript The Way to Go: An Illustrated Preview of the Afterlife (forward written by near-death researcher and author PMH Atwater), tells the stories of several diverse deaths and the lives lived after leaving Earth. This book is meant to provide comfort and understanding to all that are fearful of death and have concerns about how our lives impact our deaths and afterlifes.

Other “Preview” essays on subjects such as reincarnation, are planned.
           

My life’s experiences in art, writing, and spirituality, my dedication to our Creator, and my connection to metaphysics as a Lightworker are how I chose to bring the metaphysical wisdom and our forgotten understanding from the Other Side.
