Rare, 1950s new age spiritualism, being two lessons given to the Aquarian Foundation of Seattle by three "great immanences of intelligence" through the channelship of Dr. Keith Milton Rhinehart (1936-1999).  According to his obit, Rinehart founded the Aquarian Foundation in 1955, when he was just 19. The organization combines Spiritualism, Theosophy, Eastern religion, and New Age teachings, particularly the belief in Ascended Masters.  Rhinehart became known for his elaborate séances, during which he claimed to produce ectoplasm, materialize spirits, and communicate with figures including Saint Germain, Sanat Kumara, and even extraterrestrial entities such as Ashtar.  The organization still operates today on 15th Avenue in Seattle.
