Around 1997 I met a strange man who got great points on education, but very low points on intervention. You decide if he was good or evil. That's not the point.
Looking back over my life as an example, I realise how easily we are manipulated when the desire arises. He started talking to me about mind-control, and at that time it sounded ludicrous. Just complete junk.
During one of our meetings, he somehow "made" me pay him for his time, which was strictly against my principles at that time (I still hold the same principle), and I was pretty disturbed that I have given my money away like that without wanting too.
During another meeting, he proceeded to pull a pen from his jacket and immediately set it on its ball-point tip where it stood, all by itself, on end, and without moving for about 10 seconds. The pen fell to the side, fell off the table, and landed on the floor. Immediately, I pick up the pen and gave it back to him.
In that moment, as I handed back the pen, wondering why I had bothered to pick it up in the first place, and his penetrating stare that said, "Yes. I just mind-controlled you," my mind was rocked.
But only for a second. Some drama seemed to quickly unfold and it was impossible to directly address what had happened (cafe theater?)... the whole thing seemed to slip away until years later. (I think that's strange. It's not the type of thing I would expect to forget.)
If that is the demonstration of one person, what could a group get another to do? Further, is a group necessary when it comes to one man so highly trained in mentalism?
As I enter my 40's, I now realize that that was not the first time it had happened, but it was the first time I was able to see it.
A warning to all.
