Week5 , Da Free John

I found this article interesting and in a way a bit weird to read, onlybecause I'm still not comprehending why people would go about believinga human being who believes that he is a messenger from God andsupposedly has the ability to spread message to men and women abouttheir out of body experiences. First of all, I do not agree that amedium who claims that he is sent from God would require money inexchange for its followers to believe in him and yet believe everythingthat he may have to say. I think that anyone who has that gift to dowhat Da Free John claims to say he is able to do, would not do it forfinancial gain but instead would do it for a spiritual insight tobenefit others. Of course everyone is entitled to believe in mediumsif they please too, but I would suggest first investigating andresearching the individual before going on further. According to GoergFeuerstein "One need not accept everything a spiritual movement offersbecause it has a single gleam of authenticity," and I agree with himbecause not everything that a medium reads or tells you will be factualand true. I would question in what circumstances that he conclude hisreadings too and what kind of evidence does he have to prove hiswritings in natures realities.
