"non-evasive psychic surgery"

[bindeweede]

Earlier today, I was browsing round my local "Crystals" shop to see if I could pick up any "vibes". The only thing I was aware of picking up was a brochure listing talks and courses going on in the area, and I found this.

"Gary Mannion is a 19 year old Indigo Child with amazing psychic and healing gifts. Working with his Spirit Surgeon, Abraham, Gary will demonstrate Psychic Surgery on some willing members of the audience. These operations, which are completely safe and painless, are non-evasive, and require no surgical instruments, or removal of clothing. Whilst working, Gary will talk about how he and Abraham ended up working together, and how Psychic Surgery works."

He could save the NHS millions - no expensive surgeons, anaesthetists, expensive equipment, nurses, drugs. I wonder how he hasn't yet caught on.

Other meetings (£6.50 or £26 for 5) cover - Angelic Healing, the Ascension and Angelic Reiki, Working with the Violet Flame invoking Archangel Zadkiel and the Ascended Master, Saint-Germain, Crystals and Crystal Healing. Unfortunately, the "Didgeridoo Evening" was July 16th, so I've missed it.

There were also links to fascinating websites -

www.positive-healing.co.uk
www.healingangels.co.uk

and the delightful www.awaywiththefairies.com

It's almost an alternative world out there

Well, good old Abraham has been talking about the 1969 moon-landing.

A well spoken chap to my left wanted to know about the moon landing in 1969. Fascinating information was revealed; it did happen but apparently the astronauts found more than they bargained for, Abraham would not elaborate on this any further but did say the televised pictures of the moon landing were staged.

But as some of us expected,

Plucking up courage I asked if any of the Atlantean healing tools had survived and if so where are they. These tools emit colour and sound, restoring balance to the body. Abraham speaks in an old fashioned prose and all he would say is that our government has knowledge of such things, that they have much knowledge that is not shared with the people.

Annabel also writes.....

But then to my amazement, Gary took questions from the audience whilst Abraham worked through him. Replying to the questions in succinct manner at the same time as ‘conducting’ the psychic surgery was an extraordinary sight to see. I have witnessed others performing one feat or the other but to manage both simultaneously? Respect Gary!

I can't honestly way I was that impressed, let alone respectful.

I can't say I'd seen this before, but it has been around for a few months, apparently.

seriously folks,

Has the world gone completely mad?

Collectively speaking are we all...
Five beers short of a six-pack?
A couple sandwiches short of a picnic?
One stamp short of postal?
Are we all spinning crop circles?
No longer playing with a full deck?
A few chips short of a Happy Meal?
Loco en la Cabeza?
Nutters? Mental?

Gary would be relatively impotent if people stopped buying tickets to see the big show. So what is the draw? Is he targeting the vulnerable or just plain stupid? I'm not sure whether I should be sympathetic or just disgusted when I read such things.

Ryoden brought up Gary's one and only redeeming quality perhaps, and that is his entertainment value. While I find Gary mildly amusing and downright ridiculous, I find Annabel absolutely alarming.

Well, in my view, he targets both - and there is the in-betweeen "middle-aged women who like the fact that a young man pays them a bit of attention for money" factor.

There is a word........

Small Victory -

Following emails to BBC Children In Need in Wales about Gazzas apparent altruism (aka marketing) via a CIN event, here is the outcome. Guess it has made life just that little bit more uncomfortable/costly/time consuming for the organisers and Gazza.

RE: Fraudulent psychics and Children In Need Monday, 10 November, 2008 10:40 AM

From: "Marc Phillips" <marc.phillips@bbc.co.uk>

I referred this matter to our marketing team whose responsibility is to monitor this type of activity. They have informed me that the following steps have been taken:

1. We have spoken to the event organiser and confirmed that there is a fundraising link, hence the reference to Children in Need is legitimate.

2. She has been advised to reprint materials to remove our branding.

3. If this doesn't happen, she will receive the same request from our lawyers

What we can't do is bring into question the legitimacy of the 'therapists', as with all people who raise funds for us. We do, however, need to ensure there is a clear level of distinction between organised branded charity activity and that of fundraisers on our behalf, and we have taken steps in this case to ensure that distinction.

Once again, I am grateful to you for bringing this case to our attention.

So it might reduce CIN income by a few quid, but he is such a naughty fibbing boy. If he really wanted to help he could put himself in stocks and let people throw rotten eggs at him for a quid a go and probably make more money (Imagine the sign: "Throw rotten eggs at a lying, cheating, fraudulent naughty boy- £1 per egg for CIN" probably make a lot more!, so I do not feel guilty.

Tried reading it but not a single review of Little Big Planet.

A friend asked me to check out this link. However I didn't know it was about me.

I do currently work with many leading doctors and medical professionals. However £35 is a reasonable amount for me I'm not in it for the money just to help people (But I got to live )

Was the Crystal shop you went to called ISIS?

Hello Gary.

Would you be so kind as to name at least some of the "leading doctors and medical professionals" that you work with?

Only it's a sort of quirk that skeptics have that we like to check out claims by seeing the evidence.

It may sound like an odd question but do you believe in psychokinesis? Only I seem to have heard your name before and this rings a bell.

Gary,

Yes, it was the ISIS Crystals shop in St. Albans. I happen to live in the area. I also happen to have a couple of contacts with doctors in the area. Would you be able to tell me the names of some of those you work with? The NHS is always looking for ways to save money and improve services to patients. I'm sure that is what we all want.

If you don't want to post publically, you can always send me a PM.

"Many leading doctors and medical professionals"? I won't hold my breath waiting for Gary to produce a list of these individuals...

It is certainly far-fetched, ridiculous and nonsensical, but I never for a second thought you were making it up funnily enough....
