Quote from Banjo:
Any body whose mind is open to the ascribed accomplishments is having a much needed brain transplant. Failing that, definite cult candidate. It's quite amazing the need some people have to believe in magic, a power greater than themselves. Lets them off the hook of being responsible to their own power to create their lives I suppose.
Science is not a blindfold. Science is a clear and true lens that does not distort. It is a filter that prevents your brain pipes from getting clogged with bullshit. Faith is a blindfold. Accepting the improbable at face without full and proper verification is naive.Quote from marketsurfer:
... science shouldn't be a blindfold.
Quote from Thunderdog:
Yes, without a doubt. I call bullshit.

Quote from Wallet:
I remember in jr.high, early 70's, listening to an astronaut give a talk, he said that most of what was taught in our science classes in the next 10 years would be out of date or proven wrong. Imho, for the most part he was right. Our scientific research has grown exponentially and it seems the more we uncover the farther we are away from total knowledge.
Science is a clear and true lens that does not distort in relation to it's current understanding......... not necessarily the absolute truth.
Quote from TGregg:
Which is more likely, that this person has some amazing power never scientifically proven in the history of mankind? Or is he another fraud, of which there have been literally millions over past few hundred years?
Quote from marketsurfer:
sure, its 99.9% chance that its phony. however, as history has taught time and time again, truth is stranger than fiction....

Quote from Eight:
Those students have to enter into the belief system and accept the demons that do that stuff...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That master first brainwash them to believe he is more powerful. The student who is weak believe that without question, and stop thinking and submit. Cult.
So it is power of one person to brainwash that group of people. Like many religions.
