A reader relates this: I had a nightmare last night. It was more than a nightmare though, because I was in a less dense body and I was actually experiencing the events that were taking place. Someone from my past was doing very traumatic things to me including holding a gun to my head and forcing pills in me as his goal was a joint suicide. I have experienced the latter in waking life but not the former. When I swallowed the pills I literally felt the woozy effects of them in this less dense body. I can’t even put into words how real the entire episode was. I woke up sweating and I felt so petrified…my first thoughts were of being thrown back down into the physical plane…like living in a doll house in a snow globe.
I have wondered for some time if parts of myself were trapped somewhere in my past. Is this possible? I have read about shamans taking people back to the trauma and getting back the pieces of their ‘souls’…maybe spirit retrieval would be a more accurate phrase?
Then after several people responded she wrote:
I thought I was through being a victim but I know there is a decade of tangled and intertwined memories of abuse and drugs. How can I comb out the fine knots of all the strands? I think I must have combed over a lot of it, but I have spent over a year OBSESSING over past events trying to remember everything that ever bothered me basically or anyone I ever hurt or that ever hurt me. Writing, drawing, painting, talking…its hard to remember what happened when you are on drugs. Trying to put the pieces back together again. How can I severe all the links when there must be so many? Plus the 2 people that abused and traumatized me the most are both dead…would that sever the links at all? Although the abuser in the dream last night was my ex husband…and they never found his body after a scuba diving trip last fall and I fear I have created a thought form that he is going to come and get me one day.
JJ: It sounds like your second post gives us partial understanding as to why you had the nightmare. You’ve had traumatic experiences in your past and some memories are coming back to haunt you in fragmented form in your dreams.
In addition, it sounds like your subconscious is trying to warn you against yielding up your will to others; that you need to take charge of your life and make your own decisions.
That said you bring up an interesting idea of having parts of your soul trapped in the past due to drugs or trauma.
The problem you are referring to would most appropriately be called “Fragmentation.”
This occurs when the individual abuses his own self through drugs or denial or is abused by others so much that he fragments himself to diminish the pain. When the person is fragmented he will operate on a lower capacity than he otherwise would have.
We are aware that if a person damages part of his brain then his physical or mental abilities may be impaired. With fragmentation parts of self are not destroyed but either put to sleep or blocked. Fortunately, they can be awakened or unblocked.
Most of us have certain parts of ourselves either asleep or blocked. Those who are suffering from great fragmentation because of trauma have obvious problems; others have not so obvious ones.
Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, identified the cause of this problem on the trauma side as being caused by engrams. These are like small computer programs that are created through pain and direct our inner processing in negative rather than positive ways.
Unfortunately, Scientology processing is very expensive and the organization has drifted off into dangerous illusion and has become extremely authoritative. In addition, they do not deal with problems related to denial.
Since Hubbard came out with his teachings many others have developed something similar but changed methods and terminology.
One of the best evolutions to come forward that may help Sarah and others is outlined in the Book “The Emotional Code” by Bradley Nelson.
You can find it on Amazon and other booksellers.
The other solution to fragmentation is through the establishment of soul contact. When the soul and brain become sufficiently linked then denial is released and the illusion of engrams is dissipated. Unfortunately, this can take lifetimes to achieve so if problems continue then it is helpful to assist with other methods.
Predictions and Oscars
On January 4, I made this prediction about the Oscars:
“The King’s Speech will win best Picture and Colin Firth who stars in it will receive Best Actor. Natalie Portman will receive best actress for Black Swan.”
If you watched the Oscars Sunday you know that all these predictions, made even before the nominations were available, were correct. The last time I made predictions I was also 100% correct on the Oscars.
This helps to redeem myself from by bad Superbowl predictions on both occasions.
Is there a reason that I have been accurate on the Oscars and some other areas, but have missed the mark on football?
Actually, there is a good reason for this. Some events around us are determined by what people think. Others are somewhat determined by thought, but sidetracked by random events.
There are no random events in the outcome of the Oscars. To predict them one just has to tune into the mindset of the majority of the voters.
On the other hand, in football both teams have a mindset desperately fixed on winning and often they are fairly evenly matched. Sometimes the game is determined by one or several fairly random events that not even the gods could predict. In addition, there’s a lot of bias that enters into predicting sports events.
Many say that everything happens for a purpose. This is not true as it is believed by many. There are many events that happen by chance.
If you take a handful of sand and toss it at a cup some of the grains will enter the cup and some will not. Let us look at one of the little grains that missed the cup. Was it part of some destiny that it missed or was it just fairly random chance?
Many of the things that happen in life are no more significant than a grain of sand in motion.
Then there are times that a random grain of sand can have a significant effect. I was eating a hot dog once and my tooth struck something no bigger than a grain of sand and fractured it. I had to have it pulled and this put a lot more stress on the tooth next to it and after a year that tooth went bad and had to go. Then it was another two years before I could come up for the money to have two implants so I could chew on that side of my mouth again.
I do not believe that little piece of bone or sand was put there for any purpose. It was just one of those random events that happen – that we just have to deal with in life and make the most of it.
On the other hand, there are times that invisible entities do look after us and will sometimes save us from ourselves. If a disciple has some purpose to fulfill and is headed for disaster he may sometimes be saved from it by a message or some strange turn of events. I have had this happen a number of times. On the other hand, I have also had accidents and bad turns in life that I had wished that could have been avoided, but no intervention came. I believe our helpers only intervene when absolutely necessary and am extremely grateful for the help I have been given.

Talking about tribes (the Danites in your series, Hell on Earth) what is the origin of the tribe issue, the missing tribes that went North.
LDS people in Missouri await their arrival. Why does the church, or some members, make an issue of tribes? My Patriarchal Blessing states I am of the tribe of Ephraim, as are most LDS members.
JJ: When Jacob wrestled with and overcame an Angel he was told his name would be changed to Israel which means “to prevail as God.”
He later had twelve sons who became known as the “Sons of Israel.”
The posterity of these sons then became very numerous and became known as the Tribes of Israel or the “Twelve Tribes.”
The twelve tribes eventually divided into two groups. One was formed of the tribe of Judah, who became the Jews, and Joseph. The remaining ten tribes formed the other group.
The ten tribes eventually mysteriously disappeared from history and no one knows where they went. There are all kinds of speculation. Some think they are on another planet that was separated from the earth. Some think they are under the earth and others think they are scattered among us.
Here is an apocryphal scripture telling about their journey to an unknown land:
“These are the ten tribes which were led away captive out of their own land in the days of Josiah [Hoshea] the king, which (tribes) Salmanassar the king of the Assyrians led away captive; he carried them across the River, and (thus) they were transported into another land. But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a land further distant, where the human race had never dwelt, there at least to keep their statutes which they had not kept in their own land. And they entered by the narrow passages of the river Euphrates. For the Most High then wrought wonders for them, and stayed the springs of the River until they were passed over. And through that country there was a great way to go, (a journey) of a year and a half; and that region was called Arzareth. There they have dwelt until the last times.” 2 Esdras 13:39-47
Here is a witness who said Joseph stated they were under the North Pole:
“Other questions were asked when Brother Clayton was not present, one of which I will relate: I asked where the nine and a half tribes of Israel were. “Well,” said he (Joseph), “you remember the old caldron or potash kettle you used to boil maple sap in for sugar, don’t you?” I said yes. “Well,” said he, “they are in the north pole in a concave just the shape of that kettle. And John the Revelator is with them, preparing them for their return.” (Benjamin F. Johnson, My Life’s Review, pg 93)
Here is another story giving another slant:
Joseph Smith on the Ten Tribes
Brother Brown: Will you give us some light and explanation of the 5th verse on page 386 of the Hymn Book, which spake of the Ten Tribes of Israel, or part of this earth which forms another planet according to the Hymn of Elisa R. Snow?
Yes, Sir, I think I can answer your question.
Sister Elisa R. Snow in visiting my grand parents was asked by my grandmother: “Elisa, where did you get your ideas about the lost tribes being taken away as you explained it in your wonderful Hymn on page 386 of the Hymn Book?” She answered as follows: “Why my husband, the Prophet Joseph Smith, told me about it.”
“Have you any other information that your grandfather ever gave you as contained in any conversation with the Prophet Joseph Smith?”
“I Have. One evening in Nauvoo, just after dark, somebody rapped at the door very vigorously. Grandfather said he was reading the Doctrine and Covenants. He rose hastily and answered the summons at the door, where he met the Prophet Joseph Smith. He said ‘Brother Brown, can you keep me overnight, the mobs are after me.’ Grandfather answered, ‘Yes Sir, it will not be the first time. Come in.’ ‘All right,’ the Prophet said, shutting the door quickly. He came in and sat down. Grandmother said, ‘Brother Smith, have you had your supper?’ ‘No,’ he answered, ‘I have not. ‘So she prepared him a meal and he ate it.
“Afterward they were in conversation, and the Ten Tribes were mentioned. Grandfather said, ‘Joseph, where are the Ten Tribes?’ He said ‘Come to the door and I will show you. Come Sister Brown, I want you both to see.’
“It being a starlight night the Prophet said, ‘Brother Brown, can you show me the Polar Star.’ ‘Yes Sir,” he said pointing to the North Star, ‘There it is.’ ‘Yes, I know,’ said the Prophet, ‘but which one? There are a lot of stars there.’ Grandfather said, ‘Can you see the points of the Dipper?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’ ‘Well,’ he said ‘trace the pointers,’ pointing up to the largest star. ‘That is the North Star.’
““The Prophet answered, ‘You are correct. Now,’ he said, pointing toward the star, ‘do you discover a little twinkler to the right and below the pole star, which we would judge to be about the distance of twenty feet from here?’ Grandfather answered, ‘Yes, Sir.’ The Prophet said, ‘Sister Brown, do you see the star also?’ Her answer was, ‘Yes, Sir.’ ‘Very well then,’ he said, ‘let’s go.’
“After re-entering the house, the Prophet said, ‘Brother Brown, I noticed when I came in that you were reading the Doctrine and Covenants. Will you kindly get it?’ He did so. The Prophet turned to the 133rd section and read commencing at the 26th verse and through the 34th verse. He said, after reading the 31st verse, ‘Now let me ask you what would cause the everlasting hills to tremble with more violence than the coming together of two planets – and that planet whereon they reside to this earth?’
“‘Now’ he said, ‘scientists will tell you that it is known science that two planets coming together would be disastrous to both; which would be perfectly correct if they met head-on from opposite directions. So when two planets or other objects are traveling in the same direction and one of them with a little greater velocity than the other, it would not be disastrous because the one traveling faster would overtake the other. Now what would cause the mountains of ice to melt quicker than the heat caused by the friction of the two planets coming together?’ And then he asked the question. ‘Did you ever see a meteor that was not red hot? That would cause the mountains of ice to melt.’
“‘And relative to the great highway, when that planet returns to its place in the great northern waters, it will form a highway and the waters will recede and roll back.’ He continued, ‘Now as to their coming back from the Northern waters; they will, return from the North because their planet will return to the place from whence it was taken.’
“‘Relative to the water rolling back to the North: if you take a vessel of water and swing it rapidly around your head you won’t spill any, but if you stop the motion gradually, it will begin to pour out.’
“Now he said, ‘Brother Brown, at the present time this earth is rotating very rapidly. When this planet returns it will make this earth that much heavier and it will revolve slower and that will account for the water receding from the earth for a great while, but it has now turned and is proceeding eastward rapidly.’
“Did the prophet ever tell your grandfather about the city of Enoch being taken from the earth?”
“Yes, he did. He said that Enoch and his people kept so faithfully the laws of the Lord that they were translated – Not only Enoch and his people, but the great city also wherein they dwelt. And grandfather asked the question, ‘Brother Joseph, where was that city located? And the Prophet answered, ‘Where the Gulf of Mexico now exists, and the time will come when the mariner will say, there is no bottom to the Gulf of Mexico.’ And he said, ‘When that great piece of land was taken from the earth it created a vacuum and to the extent that it started water coming in to fill up that great space that is now known as the Gulf of Streams.’ The Prophet added, ‘In consequence of this great portion being taken away it naturally threw the earth out of balance. Now,’ he said, ‘when that comes back, that and the planet on which the lost tribes are, the earth will receive its equilibrium and will revolve as it naturally was.’
“‘Then, Brother Brown, this will fulfill the saying of the Prophet Jeremiah, Chapter 16, verses 14-15; also the sayings of the Prophet Nephi.’”
“Brother Call, you have read the statement of Brother Brown concerning the Ten Tribes of Israel being upon another planet besides this?
“Yes, I have heard my father relate the same regarding the Ten Tribes of Israel, and my father heard the Prophet make the statement that the Ten Tribes are on another planet, as related by Brother Brown.” Signed and affirmed by Israel Call, Given to High Councillor Theodore Tobiason, October 19th, 1924.
Next the reader asked:
Why are the Danites picked to be the bad guys? I’m sure most of the Mormons that make up “the hit gang”, even to this day, are not Danites. So where did this designation come from?
JJ: The Danites were named after the tribe of Dan. Jacob gave him this mysterious blessing:
“Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.” Genesis 49:16-17
Because it sounds like the descendants of Dan will be destroyers Dan is often viewed in a negative light. He is left out of the Twelve Tribes in the Book of Revelation and replaced by Joseph’s son Manasseh. Legend has it that this was done because the antichrist would descend from Dan.
The Danites were formed in the midst of great persecution as a means of self-preservation for he early Mormons. Because they were to fight the enemies of the church they were called Danites.
How involved Joseph was with is group is a mystery. It appears that he was aware of it and possibly approved it in the beginning, but then later publicly condemned them.
Whatever the case a skeleton form of the Danites appears to have continued until the Mormons settled in Utah. It seems that the destroying angel idea died with the famous Danites, Porter Rockwell, John D Lee and Bill Hickman.
A little known piece of trivia is that the creation of the sinister villain from Sherlock Holmes, Professor Moriarty, was inspired by stories of the Mormon Danites.
There is lots of information about the Danites on the Web. Much of it is distorted but Wikipedia gives as good a presentation as any.
The readers then says:
The mean part of LDS history has always discouraged me…
JJ: Most every movement has its dark spots, including our own country. How much of Jarman’s book giving the abuses in Brigham Young’s day is true is difficult to say, but the evidence indicates that some severe abuse did occur. It is interesting today that the Mormons are a fairly mellow bunch who are fairly harmless and mostly unaware of anything negative in their history.
You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. – C.S. Lewis
A reader asked a while back about what is right and wrong as to the disciple’s approach to charging money for various types of service.
Jesus himself is responsible for some of the ambiguity on this subject for on one hand he said:
“Freely ye have received, freely give,” Matt 10:7 but then he also said “the labourer is worthy of his hire.” Luke 10:7 & Matt 10:9
Spiritual workers through the ages have interpreted this a number of ways. Those with a paid ministry say that receiving a wage is fine because the laborer is worthy of his hire yet they still assist and preach freely to the poor. They teach for free but work on voluntary donations.
Unpaid ministries say we should teach and perform service yet the workers receive no wage at all except what is necessary for administration.
Still others believe it is fine to have an actual mandatory charge for people should pay for what they receive.
This is one of those dilemmas that will not be solved by looking at black and white detail. Instead, the servant must understand the underlying principle governing the material recompense of servants in the world.
When speaking of giving freely and receiving payment Jesus was talking to disciples that he sent out into the world who traveled from place to place and town to town. To understand the scriptures on this one must understand how people in that age related to such travelers.
At that time in history, we have to realize that they had no entertainment available as we do now. Also, if a person wanted to learn something he couldn’t just order a DVD, check out a book or turn on educational TV.
Some of the large population areas had theaters and gathering centers which provided entertainment but for the general population avenues of entertainment, as we understand it, were sparse.
So instead of watching TV, reading books or attending a Tony Robbins seminar what did the people do to entertain or educate themselves?
This vacuum was filled by traveling teachers and entertainers and many people in that day made a living by traveling from town to town and presenting themselves as living books.
Here’s how it worked. Since most people could not read or have access to the great works, this need was filled by individuals who specialized in memorizing certain books, stories, plays, philosophies or whatever there was a demand to hear. If a certain book was popular an entertainer may memorize the whole story pretty close to word for word. He would then practice his delivery to make the story as interesting as possible and then travel from town to town.
Various communities had a network so word circulated as to new travelers showing up and what their subject was. Because people were hungry for entertainment and not too much was available each new traveler usually was able to gather a pretty good audience, especially if his delivery was good.
Many of the travelers gathered around themselves whoever would listen and then accept donations. Others with a good reputation would only entertain a paid audience. Both groups had the same goal – to make a good living – but approached it from two different angles.
By today’s standards someone standing at the center of a crowd reciting a Tom Clancy novel would not seem like good entertainment, but for that age it was a real treat to hear stories and teachings from afar.
The disciples of Jesus had the advantage of having a unique message and since Jesus was becoming well known it was probably easy for them to gather a crowd wherever they went. Jesus instructed them to not charge a set fee but to freely give as this would bring the largest audience wherever they went. But then he told them “the labourer is worthy of his hire” (Luke 10:7) meaning that it was fine to go along with the custom and accept donations so they would have the funding necessary to continue their work.
In other words, the disciples of Jesus handled fundraising after the manner of the customs of the traveling entertainers of that era.
If Jesus were here today, would he handle raising funds the same way?
Probably not because the situation is much different.
The Key to correct thinking on this is not to try and exactly duplicate the past but to ask what is the fairest and best way to proceed.
Here is what I have concluded.
If you have a product or service that you have created by the sweat of your brow you can sell it for whatever the market will bear. There is no negative karma in doing this for you are doing your part in making the machinery of society work. If you provide discounts or give donations to those in need then positive karma will be the result.
If you have spiritual teachings and desire yourself and the participants to get as close to the Spirit as possible then you will want to place as little emphasis as possible on money. Energy follows thought, so if the teacher charges a high fee then thought and energy from the teacher and audience will be diverted to the material side.
It thus helps the teacher to keep thought and energy directed to Spirit and give service freely when possible and charge minimum or reasonable fees when needed.
I know of people who see themselves as spiritual servants who charge $1500 for an hour of their time. Others go the other extreme and insist there never be a charge. These are usually ineffective and never have the money available to do the work.
Most will agree that accepting free will donations applied to the work is normally a harmless approach.
Conclusion: For work in the material world charging what the market will bear is fine. But if the goal is to center consciousness on the spirit then do whatever it takes to keep attention on the spirit by either relying on donations or charging a fee that all can afford and allowing those in a bad final situation free access.
Take our yearly gathering, for example. We have expenses involved for the facilities so we charge a reasonable fee. When we become aware that someone is hurting financially, we will offer a discount or free admission. No one I know of has ever been turned away because of lack of money.
In about two thirds of the gatherings, we have come out almost exactly even after expenses and in about a third of them we have come about a little ahead. I don’t recall any of them losing money.
Not charging at all can place too much attention on money because of the lack of it and charging too much can do the same. The key is a common-sense middle way.
Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce? – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cheri: During this discussion about Braco I’ve realized that I can’t care what anyone else thinks about Braco. I had my experience and wanted to share it and people can take it or leave it. JJ you teach great things but it doesn’t mean I agree with every last thing you say. If you like or dislike Braco doesn’t matter to me. It wouldn’t change my mind about him one bit!
JJ: As far as changing one’s mind goes evolution itself is a composed of a series of mind changing events. I’ve changed my mind about the church, Jesus and even God and have lost nothing but gained instead. Whenever additional knowledge is gained there is some type of mind changing going on whether small or great. As far as the reality of your experience it was what it was and there is not much mind changing possible on that. There are still things about Braco, however, that you do not know.
BUT… More important than being unchanging in mind is to be unchanging in your peace. When you have an experience like yours critics, skeptics and unbelievers will come forth and the temptation is to let them alter your peace and to take away feelings of love and friendship toward them. It is important to take all things that are said from the vantage point of the soul and see those who do not agree as souls, like yourself, doing their best to discover the truth.
I assume you are doing this, but many in your situation do not and allow a grievance to be planted. It is always of great importance that the seeker not let this happen. The solution is inclusive spiritual love open communication.
A reader writes: Here is a question I don’t think has come up yet. What is one to think of a spontaneous healing such as Cheri has had, when she was not asked permission nor gave permission, but just later discovered she was healed. Was it just her soul using the good will/healing energy of those gathered? What does this say about Braco or spontaneous healing even by proxy such as those who bring pictures of their loved ones etc? How can that create a karmic link when one did not consent they were jut spontaneously healed”
JJ: I could be wrong but I think Cheri did give permission. She attended and was open to being healed.
On the other hand, you are right about the proxi healing. Would there be any obligatory link with the one healed?
No there would not, even though any transfer of thought creates some linkage of energy. The main link would be with the one who brought the picture or stood in for proxy. If the healer is in the ego the one who stood a proxi would feel a natural inclination to stand by the healer right or wrong.
If the healer is not in the ego this one may still pay too much devotion to the healer because of mislead beliefs but is much more free to give the glory to God and not a man.
Before I make a final judgment on people I like to examine their two witnesses their words and works. Unfortunately, with Braco I have only seen his works and only one work at that – healing. There is not much to run by my soul. Generally soul confirmation comes after one does all he can on his own.
Yes, sometimes I will get a soul impression just by hearing a name spoken but other times my soul just leaves the discovery up to me.
The only sure sign of a true servant is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit which is revealed to our souls.
Until one has enough soul contact to perceive the Holy Spirit he has to use his best judgment when he meets someone who is acclaimed as a great or chosen one to do miracles.
My approach when being introduced to a new healer, teacher or servant is not to pronounce them good or evil, dark or light, but to examine their two witnesses – their words and works – in the light of day …” –
It is interesting that we have not heard Braco speak a word yet he has caused a great plethora of words to burst forth here on the Keys.
In reading comments on Braco sites I have noticed two typos misspelling his name – both seem to be done by accident. They were “Draco” and “Bravo.”
Draco the dragon could be associated with the dark side and “Bravo,” representing courage, could be the light. So even with subconscious Freudian slips we have the contrasting light and dark surfacing on the guy.’
A number of you are wishing I would give more specific comments on Braco and some were a little frustrated when I said I hadn’t received anything on him. This is not unusual. There are billions of people that I do not receive anything on and neither do I particularly care to.
However, Braco has aroused our curiosity so I decided to have a talk with my soul. I said, “What gives? You haven’t given me anything on Braco yet?”
The soul responds, “Do your homework and find out a few things for yourself.”
A few days pass and I say, “I’ve done my homework and still the guy is like a non entity. Surely there’s some morsel you can give me?”
The soul gave me a look. It was a Braco type of look that irritated me. I grabbed my soul and threw it against the wall and was close to slapping it around. Then I said, “Look, I’m tired of playing games. Give me something to go on here!”
My soul brushed itself off looking a little impatient with me, “Okay, okay, just relax. If you insist I will give you something. I’ll give you two words and from that you should be able to use your intuition and put everything together.”
“Two words, doesn’t seem like much, but I’ll take it,” I said.
Here it is… Now listen carefully and reflect. The Soul spoke:
“Blue dot.”
“Blue dot?” I questioned. What kind of hint is that?
“Exactly what you need.” The soul grinned with a hint of superiority and was gone.”
Okay, that wasn’t exactly how it happened and I used a little creative license but that gives you the idea that I do not use the orthodox approach to meditation. But it works. I did finally get a hint from my soul – The Blue Dot.
What is the blue dot?
Here’s the story. Back in June 1990 The National Enquirer published an article about a psychic named Judy Hevenly who claimed to be able to energize a blue dot. All someone had to do was to look at the blue dot that had been personally energized by her and make a wish. Her energy would then go through the blue dot and activate the person’s desires. If the individual concentrated enough on this dot then their dreams of money, health marriage etc would come true.
They published the blue dot with the story and invited readers to make a wish and stare at it and then write in and tell them what happened.
I remember reading this article and then wondering what kind of results they would receive. After a couple weeks the response was published and the National Enquirer editors were quite pleased. Thousands of letters poured in claiming all kinds of miraculous results. Some gained wealth, others love and still others had miraculous healings. Since being published lottery winners claiming the blue dot gave them luck have won over $170 million.
Many thousands believed in the magic of the blue dot and that psychic Judy Hevenly had truly energized it. Many people cut out the blue dot and put it in their purse or wallet and looked at it several times a day.
The response was so positive that Judy could have probably started a church based on the dot except the idea of “Church of the Blue Dot” might be hard to sell as a serious religion. Anyway the Enquirer found the blue dot to be so successful that they have republished it a number of times and even given free blue dots to new subscribers.
Now let us step back, look at this logically and ask a few questions.
Was Judy Hevenly some special being who was so full of psychic power that she could energize millions of blue dots in all the issues of the National Enquirer?
Probably not.
Was the blue dot published in the Enquirer energized any more than a blue dot I could print up on my HP printer?
Probably not.
Yet miracles happened. If the cause was not Judy’s energy or something magical in the dot then what did cause them?
Well, it may have not been Judy’s energy that did the trick but Judy was responsible. Even though she did not have any inner power that was special she did act as a director of energy and directed the scattered thoughts of the many into one location. Since energy follows thought then a lot of energy was stirred up by millions of readers and for some, who were good receivers, miracles did come.
I think the reader can see the connection here with Braco. Braco is the blue dot. The people who sponsor, introduce and support him play the director’s role, as did Judy Hevenly.
There are two reasons why even sensitive people have difficulty picking up anything either positive or negative on Braco.
The first is obvious. He says nothing and this makes it difficult to make any composite judgment on the guy.
The second is not so obvious and it is this. Braco sees himself as a channel of divine energy and just as he feels his words get in the way even so does he feel his thoughts get in the way. Thus when he goes on stage he stares at nothingness. Rarely does he look at any individual unless one happens to draw his attention for some inner or outer reason. Often he does not see the crowd itself but places himself in as complete neutral state as possible. Just like the blue dot, then he becomes a point of focus and the energy created comes from the powers of the inner God in the audience themselves with of course Braco’s added in.
Whenever Jesus healed anyone he never said “I have healed you,” but “YOUR FAITH has made you whole.” Jesus was merely a director of energy to open the door to the souls of the people who were healed so their own powers of godliness could heal them.
Is Braco a Master? I don’t think so. A Master has to demonstrate mastery of “the Word” by showing forth wisdom. Thus they are called Masters of wisdom.
Some think he is a master because of the positive feeling they have during sessions and are drawn back again and again to get an extra dose.
These people are looking for happiness on the outside and will have to keep returning until they find it on the inside. When it is found on the inside then it will just be there all the time and they will not have to depend on any one person to possess it.
Would I be any happier if Jesus moved in with me for a month – would just having him physically present make a difference in my well being?
Not really. In fact I may find that he gets in my way.
On the other hand, if he went beyond just gracing me with his presence and teaching me something would that help?
Yes, it would. This would increase my happiness.
If he went a step further and came up with a project that we could work on together to fulfill divine purpose would that increase my joy?
Yes, that would be a fun thing to do with such a master.
But as far as just having his presence… well I already have that through the Oneness Principle so having his physical body nearby wouldn’t bring that much enhancement.
There must be something about Braco’s peaceful look and the infectious expectation of the audience that brings out peace and positive feelings in people that are already readily available.
Is Braco evil? An evil person does evil things and we have no proof of any wrong doing on his part.
What I pick up is that he is following the highest he knows and sincerely wants to help and heal people.
Does this mean he is without error? No of course not. Most likely some ego may affect him and he is subject to some illusion.
One very positive and unusual sign though is that he built his healing center with his own money and does much of his work for free. When he does charge it is a reasonable $8 which is in the range of all. Of course, when he travels and has to rent facilities he should charge at least enough to cover expenses.
Does this mean we can trust Braco to never deviate from the light?
No. I see no evidence that he has progressed beyond the second initiation and as such is still subject to illusions and if this assessment is correct then he could still be mentally tricked into making wrong decisions and doing quite a bit of harm while thinking he is doing the right thing.
This is why the seeker must – with Braco and every other servant – check and recheck with his soul on a regular basis or in the end he will be disappointed and wind up as the blind following the blind.
1 It seems that periodically we deal with a situation where one or more members of the group feel strongly about a person, organization or subject. Then when that item is discussed, we have to be quite careful or feelings will be hurt.
The last thing I want to do is hurt feelings of friends, especially old friends, but I seem to have a talent for this even when I try and go out of my way to avoid offense.
Here is what seems to happen. Someone has an experience or finds a teaching or organization, or topic that seems to ring correct with their souls and they share this with us. Since it seemed obvious to them that the thing was beneficial they often expect a positive reaction from the Keys members and especially myself.
What usually happens is some members will be very supportive, some see both good and bad and others will voice strong suspicion and concern. Then I will join in and say ABC looks good but XYZ looks questionable or maybe harmful. Now sometimes I may give mostly positive affirmation as with The Morya Federation or Sterling’s quest for free energy and others I may be mostly negative as with the Crème group, but usually myself and some others will critically examine both sides.
When this happens feelings often get hurt. It is not because anyone had an agenda to hurt feelings, but generally everyone involved followed the highest they knew and were working at finding the truth of the matter.
Often the truth is not obvious. In one of the Principles of Discovery I stated that if you see everyone going or thinking in one direction one will often find truth by looking in the other direction that goes against the current.
I have a lot of respect for Sterling and Cheri. They are both outstanding individuals and apologize for any bull-in-a-China shop approach I have taken with their feelings but I did not and still do not know the full truth on Braco so I have to analyze him from the highest points of truth that I know.
The fact that miracles happen around him or people see a light around him does not necessarily mean all is well.
The fact that people get positive feelings does not mean all is well. I have seen people say they get positive feelings from God about outright scoundrels. As far as soul feelings go I only trust my own, as should everyone here.
As far as my feelings go Braco is an oddity for me. Usually when a new teacher or Guru comes on the scene I get an immediate impression that turns out to be correct. In Braco’s case I get little impression. It’s as if my soul is telling me to figure this one out on my own.
I haven’t tried to be either positive or negative on Braso but to merely examine him dispassionately
That said let me cover one more point. A reader asked if supernatural healing could interfere with Karma.
The answer is that nothing can interfere with Karma. It can be delayed, but not interfered with or negated until a full payment is made.
Jesus healed many people. There may have been a few who had their full payment delayed but generally the soul will not allow a permanent healing unless the person has learned his lesson from the disease or can pay off more karma through assisting in raising faith in other people.
This discussion on Braco causes an interesting question to surface – one of the few that I have not commented on to some degree.
Does it matter whether or not Braco is an angel or demon as long as people are healed with his technique?
Should we just accept the fact that some miracles happen and not even contemplate or question his motive or whether he represents the light or the dark?
Let us present two scenarios
Scenario One:
Braco is as much or more than his supporters believe. He is pure in heart – his main goal is service; he loves his fellow men and women and is a high initiate.
Obviously no one need have any concern about making the most of his healing powers.
Scenario Two:
Braco was on a quest for power and glory and he saw the teacher Ivica Prokic as a way to attain this. If he could learn his secrets then he could dazzle the crowds.
He studies with him for around a year and a half and feels he has progressed beyond his master but cannot demonstrate this because everyone looks toward Prokic and ignores him. He solves this problem by drowning him in the sea and telling everyone that a rogue wave came along and killed him.
This captures the attention of the Dark Brothers who now decide to use him to further their own ends. They create a goal to make him appear to be a messianic figure and when the time comes that he is loved and trusted by millions they will use him to make their move.
Question:
Now very few of us would have any problem receiving a healing by Braco number one, but how about Braco number two? If you knew the guy was on the dark side but also knew he could heal you would you accept?
Before I answer this perhaps we should deal with another important question. Can a person who is not in the light even perform a healing or other miracles?
We previously gave a quote from DK on this, but here is one from the scriptures:
“But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.” Acts 8:9-11
So here we see that Simon deceived “all” from the least to the greatest into thinking he “was some great one.”
Here is another account of Simon:
“Dositheus, when he perceived that Simon was depreciating him, fearing lest his reputation among men might be obscured (for he himself was supposed to be the Standing One), moved with rage, when they met as usual at the school, seized a rod, and began to beat Simon; but suddenly the rod seemed to pass through his body, as if it had been smoke. On which Dositheus, being astonished, says to him, ‘Tell me if thou art the Standing One, that I may adore thee.’ And when Simon answered that he was, then Dositheus, perceiving that he himself was not the Standing One, fell down and worshipped him, and gave up his own place as chief to Simon, ordering all the rank of thirty men to obey him; himself taking the inferior place which Simon formerly occupied.” Clementine Recognitions, ii. 11
Then after Simon surpassed his teacher, Dositheus, he was said to be able to levitate and even fly.
Then when the apostles visited him he discovered there was one miracle he could not perform and that was the giving of the Holy Spirit. That is one thing the wayward soul cannot manifest.
He can however manifest intense emotional feelings that may be mistaken for the Holy Spirit by those not familiar with it.
In addition Jesus said this:
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matt 7:20-23
This tells us that workers of darkness can perform “many wonderful works” and yet be out of alignment with the will and purpose of God.
Concerning those who serve the beast we are told:
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;” Rev 13:14
Then we have this:
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Rev 16:13-14
“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.” Rev 19:20
Thus the scriptures seem to tell us that many who work miracles are not on the side of the light. The only sure sign of a true servant is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit which is revealed to our souls.
Until one has enough soul contact to perceive the Holy Spirit he has to use his best judgment when he meets someone who is acclaimed as a great or chosen one to do miracles.
Now the natural question to arise is this: If these guys mentioned in the scriptures are not in the light then how do they perform miracles? How was Simon able to convince “all” in his community that he was some great one?
Obviously people saw some real miracles and most people when witnessing such a thing automatically think that the person who seems to be performing the miracle is from God.
But, if the false servant is not from God then by what power is the miracle performed?
The answer may surprise some.
All miracles are performed by the power of God.
BUT… that does not mean that the person performing the miracle is approved of God or on the right hand path. Let me explain.
The miracle of life is through the power of God yet this does not mean that all who are alive are servants of God.
All of us are reflections of God and as such have all the powers of God within us and can manifest them if we just understood how to go about it.
The key to understanding miracles is the principle that “energy follows thought” and the more thoughts involved and directed to one purpose the greater the power.
One who works in either the dark or the light can gather a crowd and direct their thoughts and thus channel their energy to create an atmosphere where miracles can take place.
Once the miracle worker has the people’s thoughts directed according to his will miracles can manifest but their manifestation often has nothing to do with the guy performing, but comes from the energy generated by the people themselves.
This is why in our gatherings, during the healing sessions I try and get as many involved as possible because the more thoughts directed as one the greater the power and we have seen miracles as a result. After the gatherings I have had numerous communications of miracles that manifest because of the group healings that were not apparent at the gathering itself including some proxy healings we have done.
So it seems that healing energy is a little like money. It is available to all who are willing to work for it and can be directed toward selfless service or for the support of the ego or even some dark purpose.
Is it important to know whether a healer or miracle worker is on the right or left hand path?
Yes and the reason is this.
The only really free gifts come directly from God with no other human taking credit. There is no such thing as a free gift when given or seen to be given by another human being.
Like Simon who presented himself as a Great One, the healer who is seen as a special being will seek some type of payment. Maybe he just wants to get rich and will charge a lot of money. Maybe he wants power and wants your allegiance and loyalty. Maybe he wants to increase his power and will use your God energy and claim it as his own.
The true servant will be like Jesus and make no claims of specialness.
“The Son can do nothing of himself…the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” John 5:19 & 14:10
The God that dwells in us all performs all the miracles that manifest and the true servants take no credit for any power apart from this.
Sharón spoke correctly when she said that the healer in the ego would create an energy link with the one being healed. If such a link is established with one who is not in the light then the individual may wind up rejecting the servants and teachings that are in the light – especially if they seem to not be in alignment with the healer.
My approach when being introduced to a new healer, teacher or servant is not to pronounce them good or evil, dark or light, but to examine their two witnesses – their words and works – in the light of day and then let the group decide for themselves.
“There’s simply no polite way to tell people they’ve dedicated their lives to an illusion.” – Daniel Dennett.
After quite a lively exchange on Braco I guess I’ll weigh in with a few comments.
First, I’ll answer my own questions.
[1] Are real miracles produced?
There are some participants who have no healing and feel nothing. Others feel a good feeling but are not healed. Still others receive partial or temporary healing. Then there are some who receive healing that will last for a year or more. One could say this latter category has received a true miracle as we normally define the term.
[2] Are the miracles created because Braco has special powers or something else? [3] What is the something else???
People can heal because of specialized knowledge more than the fact that they are special beings. There are, however, personal attributes that help. If the healer is healthy and has a strong vital energy, this can help. One would think that being a spiritual person would help, but when dealing with the masses a carnal person, or one motivated by power or illusion, can perform short term healings as well as the spiritual person. The main advantage held by the spiritual person is he can heal other people who are spiritually evolved. A wrongly motivated healer cannot do much for someone of a higher vibration than himself.
Concerning supernatural abilities DK says this:
“Supernormal powers are, of themselves, no evidence of divinity at all. Great exponents of evil can perform the same miracles and demonstrate the same capacity to create and to transcend the normal faculties of man. These powers are inherent in the creative aspect of Divinity, the third or matter aspect, and are linked to an intelligent understanding of matter and to the power of the mind to dominate substance. This power is, therefore, neither divine nor non-divine. It is a demonstration of the capacity of the mind, and can be used with equal facility by an incarnated Son of God, functioning as a World Saviour or Christ, and by those Beings who are on the path of destruction.” Esoteric Psychology, Vol 2, Page 60
An initiate should not seek spiritual healing from a non initiate.
Okay – so wouldn’t one have to call Braco special since he does get some miraculous results?
Not necessarily for you hear similar testimony around many other healers.
Those who attended the last gathering may recall the teaching I gave out about ceremony. I said that this was one of the secrets of healing and that if we used our imagination we could create a new ceremony that could be given to the public and produce miraculous results.
Well Braco has come up with a new ceremony that works.
Why does it work?
Because it produces a point of tension in some. A good ceremony will guide the people’s thoughts toward a point of tension. Remember that energy follows thought and if a large group have their thoughts properly directed then miraculous things can happen.
It would be an interesting experiment to have a body double of Braco appear and gaze at the crowd and then see if there is any change in the percentage who are healed.
Several things must happen before a healer can have success with a group.
First he must establish a reputation of one who can heal. Braco gained this gradually after he became a disciple of Ivica Prokic. He studied under him and worked with him for a couple years and then took his place when he died. At his death many began to look upon him to heal as did Ivica.
Braco then experimented with additional techniques and gained a reputation as a healer with special powers.
Secondly, the healer must create high expectation.
Once the healer gets a reputation expectation is not hard to accomplish and is where the ceremony and staging comes in.
The staging is set by the warm up people and the audience itself. Those on stage testify to the miraculous healing powers that will be witnessed and many believers are in the audience rubbing shoulders with neutral and negative people often turning them positive before the healer makes an appearance.
This rising of the expectation is a huge step in approaching the point of tension necessary to draw forth healing powers.
Even Jesus realized this and discovered that reputation and ceremony did not work when expectation was low. When he went home no one expected any results from him and nothing happened. Even the great Master could not heal in his hometown where he was seen as nothing special.
These preliminary proceedings are the first part of the ceremony, but the final most profound part occurs when the healer himself appears to fulfill expectations.
This is where Braco has come up with a very powerful ceremony, one that can only work where the healer has a positive reputation and has created high expectation. As Howard Stern says – most people would be laughed off the stage for trying to do the gazing thing, but this guy pulls it off.
Yes, the audience becomes convinced that this unconventional method works and this makes it all the more potent for believers.
He looks at the people in silence and the silence causes them to see his soul and reflect his soul energies back to themselves and if a point of tension is reached then some healing occurs.
The group has been debating as to whether Braco is on the dark or light side or maybe in between.
Let us take a look at the guy. He looks almost like the stereotype of Jesus with his long hair and sweet face. He looks harmless and benevolent. This look he has is good for the ceremony he uses. Clint Eastwood could never get away with this type of work, nor could a lot of others with regular looking appearances.
If I had to pick a guy from the Keys that could create a similar look I’d have to pick Dan. There is a warm and fuzzy aspect to Dan that could pull something like this off and garner trust. (I mean that in a good way, Dan)
Unfortunately, you can’t always tell by looks for, as Jesus said, there are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
The main thing to examine to find the truth of any spiritual messenger are their words and their works. These are the two witnesses.
Unfortunately, there are no words, so this part of the witness seems to be missing. The lady closest to him in the United States who wrote the only English book about him did say this:
“It is no coincidence that after the November election and Barack Obama’s entry into office, the way was cleared for Braco’s first visit to America. Everyone is now facing the opportunity to open in perspective and action to more balanced possibilities as our ill begotten economic, social, educational and political structures are challenged and crumble. Braco represents a new level of healing reality to consider in the very left-brain West with a greater underlying potential in each of us.”
Angelika Whitecliff
So is Braco going to replace our “ill begotten” constitutional system with something else? And what would that be?
That’s a little unsettling to contemplate.
He does have works so we can look at them.
He desires to heal people are works tirelessly at it. That by itself is a good sign. Yes, there may be glamour involved but that’s for him and his followers to work out.
He either works for free or charges $8 to cover expenses. This tells us that making large sums of money is not his goal at this time. Even if he may at times make a profit $8 is a reasonable fee. That’s a real bargain compared to anything a doctor may charge in attempting to heal you.
He apparently sells miscellaneous items for a profit. Nothing wrong there with doing some free marketing. What he does with the profits is his business.
His work gives a lot of people more purpose and makes them feel better. Nothing wrong with that, in fact that is commendable.
There is one problem I see coming from his works and that is he is receiving the adoration of a messiah figure from many. Instead of looking to the inward God many seem to feel that they cannot receive the spiritual high without him as they can with him. In other words, they are focusing attention on the god without rather than the God within.
I’m reminded of the guy in the Braco film that had the toothache and the pain went away when he gazed at Braco. Did it go away for good? I don’t know, but I know I had a toothache a few days back that went on for a couple days and I was quite upset because I cannot afford to lose another major tooth. I had a good talk with my soul reminding it that it’s important that I not lose the tooth.
Well, the good old inner voice responded and said, “put some colloidal silver on the tooth.” I immediately did this and the pain went away in 15 minutes and has never came back. Hopefully I can keep the tooth and I didn’t need an outside person to help me to manifest that healing.
Yes, sometimes we do need outside help but this should never overshadow the power of a person’s own soul.
One thing that bothered me were the number of people who think they have to be in Braco’s presence to get a spiritual high. I’m inclined to think that this high they are getting is from an astral energy, for receiving the higher spiritual energies does not depend on another human being.
But there’s nothing wrong with getting a good emotional high as long as one realizes there is much more available.
Then there is an important thing that Jesus did that Braco is not doing. He duplicated himself. He told his followers, “Greater things than I have dome shall you do.” He then taught his disciples and soon they were doing great works just as their master did.
I do not see Braco training others to do what he does and the problem is amplified by the fact that many think he is special way beyond what they could achieve themselves.
I surfed through dozens of sites studying Braco and was amazed that I could not find one negative comment. Finally, I did find one guy who did not see Braco as a god incarnate – none other than Howard Stern. As usual there is nothing sacred for this guy.

Braco, The Healer
Cheri writes: I wanted to let you all know about an amazing healer, Braco. He’s from Croatia, and I first found out about him in Jan. 2010 in Hawaii, on his first trip to the US. He does gazing sessions, which is basically just standing in front of the audience and gazing, with music in the background. He doesn’t speak or touch anyone. The gazing’s last about 10 min. I’ve never felt such energy come from anyone before. It’s an amazing experience and left me speechless. He says that he has learned to pull down powerful energy from God and project it out to up 1000 people at a time. He doesn’t claim to be a healer but 1,000’s of people do (including myself). I had scoliosis (12 % curve) and my back was really painful everyday. After some gazing’s I noticed I had zero back pain! I also felt on an extreme spiritual high for about one month after! I’ve been craving feeling that again and now we all have the opportunity because he’s doing an online gazing tomorrow, Feb. 11. Sign up on his website.
JJ: I saw an interesting piece on this guy on TV the other day and people swear that looking at his gaze produces miracles. As I think of it, this would be a good discussion point for the group. Google this guy then answer this:
[1] Are real miracles produced?
[2] Are the miracles created because Braco has special powers or something else?
[3] What is the something else???
A reader responds: My first impression about this gazing healer says placebo. I’ll let you know if I get anything else. Oh, speaking of JJ’s anything else question, placebo defines the mechanism.
Rush Limbaugh did a similar thing about 15 years ago on his show. First he read an article about some Russian who passed out orgasms to his audience by blowing a kiss to them. After musing about this a few minutes Rush decided to do the same. He said, after all, he had a deserving audience. He then proceeded to ask if everyone was ready and then gave a very emotional kiss, smacking his lips and blowing into the mic. Then he asked how was that. Women spent the next hour calling in thanking Rush for their orgasm and hoping their husbands would not find out.
I believe preachers used the placebo effect since day one. Sometimes they even “seed” their congregation to get the ball rolling. For example, my Uncle, Norman Peterson (one of my mother’s brothers), could throw his hip out of joint and then return it at any time. I have no idea HOW he did this but it was a freak of his body. Back when he was a cynical young man, a preacher hired him to do this and then to throw it back into place when the preacher healed him. He later repented from communism and from deceiving congregations when he joined the Mormon Church. He went on to be a member of a Stake Presidency. He also converted a couple hundred people into the Church as a local (live at home) missionary. He was a true believer and it was infectious. We called him Norman the Mormon. Norman was a good man and continued to ask hard questions on into his old age. He even asked questions normally forbidden in the Church. Just a few months before he died I talked with him about the Oahspe book. I like Norman a lot. I would not be surprised to find that his life experiences prepared him well to learn of the BOL in his very next life.
I wonder if placebo orgasms are as good…
Cheri
[1] Yes Miracles are real
[2] Braco doesn’t claim to be a healer. He says he’s learned how to tap into powerful energy that he’s able to project out to others. He is also able to use everyone’s energy in the room and amplify it.
[3] It’s the energy that heals people not Braco.
I would just invite you to experience the gazing’s before making judgments. Honestly I thought it sounded a little weird but went in with an open mind. After experiencing a gazing most people can’t claim that nothing is going on. It’s very powerful stuff. I have seen auras a few times in my life but it has never been so easy as when I was able to see Braco’s aura. It was pure white and gold and went out from his body about 10 feet sometimes more. Another interesting thing was during all the gazing’s I went to Braco’s face would morph into one face after another. I’ve never had that happen to me and I still don’t know what that means. Afterwards I found out that it’s not uncommon for people to see his face morphing. Also I felt an incredible vibration and buzzing inside my body. Almost to the point I couldn’t take it.
Something from Braco’s website: Braco has never wished your worship or mine, nor has never claimed to be higher than, better than, purer than, worthier of this energy. He has shared that he is merely awakening or encouraging us, somehow, to fire up our own pilot lights – to blast the furnace of joy and share the Energy is there anyone who wishes it, for the enjoying, nurturing, and empowering.
Reader: I think I looked this guy up quite a while ago. You ask:
[1] Are real miracles produced?
Miracles can happen every day.
[2] Are the miracles created because Braco has special powers or something else?
Mind over Matter. What you think you create. Belief.
[3] What is the something else???
Mass Hypnosis. Mass Faith. Mass Thought form.
These types of “healings” happen in some Churches also. When someone believes something enough and puts all their attention or focus on that point, then they can manifest that belief in their own body etc.
If Braco was a great healer and could heal everyone and anyone, then logically he would put all the medical profession out of business and all the drug companies would be able to close down, and people could just see him and get healed and the World would be a happier place. Hey?
Braco would also need to know the “Word” that Jesus used to heal people via the devic kingdom’s response to that word or symbol. Jesus also told the Disciples that same healing word. To know that Word to heal en masse, then that would place Braco as a Master.
What else did Jesus always say, when He healed people? “By your true faith ye are healed.”
Personally, I feel that if Braco was like Jesus and could heal by simply staring out into the crowd, then unless he was Jesus, he would most probably use this power to his advantage to generate millions of dollars for himself, because people do like to make money off of their special talents and gifts sometimes. Plus if he was like Jesus or any of the other Masters then he would use this power to probably gain enough money and support to help those who live in poverty etc.
One must also remember that these types of talents are Atlantean in their nature, practice and abilities within the lower psychic realms and that the Dark Side know a lot about magic also at the lower levels on Earth, because the Dark Lucifer once was a Light Lucifer.
If Braco heals en masse, then how does that work within the law of Karma? Many people do not get healed because of negative karma that they have incurred and the pain is a needed lesson, so if Braco heals all these people, then all these people must have had permission from their souls and the Lords of Karma to be healed.
Plus I do not remember reading anywhere that the Masters will appear and just heal hundreds of people whenever they want, but I have read that many people will be attracted to false prophets because of their “abilities” to be Christ like in their appearances and words etc.
So to properly judge Braco, one would have to take into consideration his words and works etc, but considering he does not speak and only sends out vibrational energy shows me that he could be using a type of hypnosis.
However, I will have another look at the guy again.
Cheri: The energy coming from Braco is so powerful that people bring photos of their loved ones and hold them up during the gazing’s. Some pretty amazing healings have happened to the people in these photos. People are being healed and cured (right after the gazing’s) and they didn’t even know who Braco was. They had no idea that their loved one had a photo of them held up during a gazing. How can it be the placebo effect when they didn’t even know about it?
Reader Quoting Cheri: [2] Braco doesn’t claim to be a healer. He says he’s learned how to tap into powerful energy that he’s able to project out to others. He is also able to use everyone’s energy in the room and amplify it.
Then there is your answer Cheri. If Braco is using everyones energy in the room to amplify that energy, then the effect will be a mass thought form and belief in them all being healed.
People wonder why it is the female who believes etc in this type of thing. Probably because the female is closest to the “matter” or “form” energy, because female energy “receives” and male energy “sends”.
Now if Braco was a woman “sending” to all these “receiving” females, would the effects be the same?
If we are here learning to gain soul contact and soul infusion so we can become white magicians and work with “form” in a positive Light, then the question to ask is how come Braco can just seemingly tap into some energy? For him to heal that miraculously he would need to tap into the Soul and then know how to use the sacred “Word”.
One must be careful when judging people who are like this, because if it is emotionally based, then it is not soul based and the Masters work via Soul and in a Molecular Relationship and would appeal to both the Heart and the Mind or just the Mind.
People follow blindly because they are not using their mind to logically answer the hard questions. People just want to either believe via their emotional responses, or not believe, and then there are the people who weigh up both sides of the equation rather than just follow animal instinct or their emotions.
Another Reader: Could it be hypnosis? Looking at anything including the eyes can put one in a trance. Some forms of healing’s are real such as reiki which I know 20 styles of. Can anyone give me a direct link to his glaze healing as I gone to his website and also search him on youtube only to find nothing but documentaries on him.
Another Reader: Depends on your definition of “real miracles”. If I can devote/believe myself into developing stigmata, I think that’s pretty miraculous. I would guess that many people have had the experience of being helped and as/if his fame continues to grow, many more are likely to be.
I think charisma or the ability to engender great belief/faith by your simple presence (or gaze) probably is a very special power.
Belief is very powerful as a focuser of thought and therefore energy.
If people feel helped I don’t much care. At best they feel better and at worst, unless he starts inciting violence/wrong-doing, their wallets are a little lighter and they end up a little wiser.
Reader Question to Cheri: So do you believe that Braco is a Master?
Cheri: I absolutely believe that Braco is a Master. The energy I felt coming from him felt like my soul remembering.
Another Reader: Thanks for sharing Cheri I had not heard of this guy before and will check him out.
Id also like to remind folks that Christ also said if they are not against is they are for us.
I would reserve judgement on this guy till we can feel his energy and run it by our own soul.
If it is a thought-form so what, If it is helping folks, healing them and helping them feel more spiritual and focus on that then great. We are certainly in need of some mass healings in many areas.
Everything is a vibration or frequency perhaps he has just tuned into a higher vibration and in so doing can help others tune into it. A good sign so far is he is not making any claims and not asking for any devotion etc.
There are new energies coming into the earth to stimulate us to progress into the new age perhaps we ought to keep an open mind and seek the inner voice.
Cheri: Braco takes no money from the ticket sales. It’s used for the building rentals and production costs. He won’t even take donations. He’s from a wealthy family and he’s the only child. He’s not looking for people to worship him. He’s just sharing a gift he has.
They don’t have videos of gazing sessions on the web. I know they sell DVD’s on his website that has some gazing on it. We did film about half of a session in HI when he didn’t know we weren’t suppose to. Maybe I can get my husband to post it here.
Reader: There are several videos about him on youtube and I saw you in one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-7JHGHTMj0
I went to the site and definitely feel a peaceful energy and stimulation of the heart and throat chakra. I like that he is not saying anything and just being a conduit to stimulate energy on others.
After thousands of years and billions of written words humanity still doesn’t get it, so perhaps he is on to something 😉
I’d definitely go see him if I had the chance to really examine his energy.
I wouldn’t care he took some of the money to pay expenses etc. people need to make a living.
Another Reader: Many people are receiving and seem to be helped by this gazing so if it helps them then that is a good thing. I see no harm in this at this point. However, I do not believe he is a master for I believe a true Master would be teaching in a much different way than just gazing and then walking off a stage without a word. All in all it seems harmless and of course it always helps to come from a wealthy family and to be a young handsome man looking the part of a spiritual being as most perceive a spiritual being to look.
Chei’s Husband: I’ve been reading “21 Days with Braco” lately, and have found it very uplifting.
He doesn’t do this for money. The only charge is to cover venue expenses. He doesn’t have any “teachings” to follow. It’s just the gift of his gaze that draws thousands of people to come to each appearance.
I had no idea what the “gazing session” was about that was listed on the conference schedule. It sounded kind of hokey to me. But after breakfast on the first day, as Cheri and I were walking around, we saw Braco and the crowd, with the music playing, and my soul was immediately attracted to what was going on there. I wanted to go down and join in the group. He has amazing energy, and the crowd adds to it, with there respect and quiet reverence for the healing / transformational power present.
Another Reader: My definition of a miracle is a natural phenomena that we don’t have an explanation for yet.
I studied Braco at length last February through his websites, reading a book about him, tuning into him, and watching some youtubes as well as listening to Cheri’s experience. Meanwhile, I started studying Matrix Energetics about 3 months ago. The basis of that study is Physics.
It is a well known fact that matter acts as a particle in one instance (something solid) and in the next can have properties like radio waves. It is called the observer effect. It is also known that at the quantum level time and space don’t exist. Matrix Energetics shows a possibility: if the observer “decides” to look at waves rather than particles and interact at the quantum level, differences may occur at the particle level. Energetics doesn’t claim to know or do or be anything other than a possibility.
I studied Cognitive Psychology in college and had I stayed in that field I was considering studying the placebo effect as I considered it the most important thing to occur in human psychology. If the mind can do miracles why not learn to repeat THAT without all the other stuff? So to say that something is the placebo effect as a way to discount it is shortsighted in my opinion. The exciting thing is that the mind is capable of so much!!
I believe Richard Bartlett and Braco are showing the rest of us what we are all capable of doing and are only considered miracles because we don’t fully understand how the quantum field works.
I will tell you a miracle I was involved in in January. A vet has a degenerative disease and had to have one leg removed just above the knee. He was due to have the other one amputated after a year of no pulse in his foot. A group of us did various Matrix Energetics therapies on him over a period of 2-3 weeks. He said he did not believe in woo woo stuff but it couldn’t hurt anything. He had his last therapy with a friend Emily before his doctor appt. It was the final appt before being admitted to the hospital the following day for the amputation. Emily asked if he noticed any differences. He said it was easier to stand up and sit down and then off he went to the doc. They found a pulse in his foot, and deep vein action. FIVE doctors came in and looked at him trying to figure out how his leg started regenerating. It started to feel warm to the touch instead of cold. They cancelled the operation. Was he deluded, did the placebo effect occur or was it a miracle? Who the heck cares. He has his leg.
I can vouch for Cheri’s back problems and the fact that she worked hard this year physically at Safe Haven with little to no back pain. She would not have been able to do anything close to that kind of physical labor before.
Another Reader: I just watched this video, and to be honest I didn’t feel anything from Braco, and all the people looked like they were under an emotional spell and one guy was amazed and said he saw him shape shift. That didn’t appeal to me because the dark side can shape shift and why would the Masters want to shape shift because they would show their true self, not change appearances all the time?
Maybe I am just not “spiritual” enough to recognize a master?
Does JJ shape shift in his appearance when he holds a healing session?
It is an important point to remember here guys, that the Dark Brotherhood can influence the lower mind and emotional body of humanity and can do healings on par with the Light Brotherhood through the use of influencing the elemental life forms and Devas, because the Lucifer that fell had all the ancient knowledge that the Light Lucifers had. Jesus told us to be wary of false prophets and the Dark side can look just as seemingly “Light” in their appearances when they want to lure humanity with their magic.
I looked at his Symbol and it is very intense, but it doesn’t feel good to me and it really affects right eye, so either he is way too high up for me or he is influenced by something that does not appeal to me.
Although I try to keep an open mind, I do not “feel” what Cheri feels about him.

A reader questions my position on free will saying: “Your recent post only seems to reinforce the idea that we don’t have a free will.
“When it comes to spiritual progression, the only choice we have is how fast or slow we will traverse The Path. But we are FORCED to traverse it. Sure, we can stand still, become a dark brother, be recycled, waste untold billions of years of opportunity, but ultimately we are put back to square one where the only choice is to progress. Kind of like that childrens’ game Snakes & Ladders.
“God also setup the parameters of this universe, using pain & pleasure to bumper us along. When we step off the path we experience increasing pain, and increasing pleasure when progress along the path. This is indistinguishable from coercion.
“The truth is supposed to bring with it joy. But the idea that God forces us to do something, even in the tiniest measure, leaves me feeling flat, nevermind it being completely at odds with how you teach God & the White Brotherhood are supposed to operate.
“How does one reconcile the concept of free will with what sounds like coerced progression?”
JJ: First, let me give you a short answer. Imagine that you are swimming and take a plunge underwater to see what is there. You explore for a short time but then realize you need some air and are forced to ascend to the surface. Because you are forced to breathe, does this mean you have no free will?
Of course not. The fact that we breathe is only one of the conditions in which free will is used in this reality.
Let me clarify that there is no absolute free will in any organized system. Let us look at the creations of humanity who are reflections of God.
Throughout history and around the world we have created various civilizations and always within the framework of laws in which freewill has been restricted in a number of areas.
Every civilization had attempted to restrict the individual’s freewill do harm to others and forbid such things as murder, rape, kidnapping and theft. The goal is not absolute free will but maximum free will. To achieve this, we must limit the power of obnoxious people to do harm to others and take away their free will.
If anarchy is attempted to achieve absolute freewill then mobs of harmful people will take away the freewill of the whole.
Point 1. The goal is not absolute freewill, but the maximum freewill possible within any desired organization.
I believe you are in error in thinking that God just conjured up all the laws of the universe and then created or put everything together. Instead, He figured out the basic idea of what He wanted to create and certain natural laws began to manifest during creation.
The key to understanding is to realize that natural law is different from civil law.
Civil law can tell us the speed limit is 35 MPH, but does that mean that we cannot go 40 MPH? No. We can go 50 MPH if we decide.
On the other hand, we have a naturally occurring law of gravity where objects fall at an acceleration of 32.2 feet per second. Can we jump off a cliff and just decide to change this to 2 feet per second so we will not get hurt?
No. We cannot violate this law as we can with the civil speeding law – instead we must work with the law.
Man’s law tells us we cannot steal another person’s goods, but people violate this all the time.
On the other hand, when you turn on a flashlight the light speeds forth at 186,000 miles per second (relative to you), there is nothing you can do to change that speed as it goes through space.
Unlike the laws that man makes that can be violated, natural law is set and we just have to work with it.
The foundation of natural law is the Law of Cause and Effect, which cannot be altered. Intelligence can direct cause but the interplay of cause producing effect just is and always will be. God did not create cause and effect but it just is and is the engine that powers the life of God as well as our lives. Without cause and effect there would be no God and no us. We are all co-eternal and interdependent. When the power of decision is applied to cause and effect then life as we know it manifests.
Point 2 Natural Law just is and is not created but is an aspect of cause and effect. All intelligence must work with natural law.
As intelligences from God on down find themselves in this universe governed by natural law we find ourselves forced to confront the decision to work with the laws manifest and make the best of the situation and progress toward greater freedom and joyousness or to go backward toward chaos and non existence. I find it odd hat you feel free will is infringed upon by the fact that all people eventually chose the path that brings the greatest fulfillment.
What is the alternative?
It would be to force us in the opposite direction toward non existence.
To not force us will result always in all lives eventually choosing the path of greatest fulfillment. The choice of this path is the result of free will, not taking it away.
Let us suppose our government discovered a mountain of gold and had all the money it needed and then told us, “You do not have to pay taxes this year if you do not want to.”
If no one paid their taxes does this mean their free will is violated because they all chose the same thing?
It is a natural law that all lives everywhere will eventually make choices that further their sense of joy and fulfillment.
Instead of taking away free will this law can only operate through free will. Without free will we will go toward death and disintegration.
Point 3. Natural Law, which was not created by God but by cause and effect, which creates the very life of God, does not negate free will, but allows for the maximum free will possible. Free will, will always choose the good the beautiful and the true in the end. The good is only not chosen because the person vis ion of good and evil is distorted.
Intelligence created the same hydrogen atoms at one end of the universe as the other for the foundation of matter. This is because intelligence everywhere discovered that this is the foundation that must exist if a universe such as ours is to be. All creation of what works happens because of freewill, not because it does not exist.
“The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance – it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Daniel J. Boorstin
Back in 2006 I posted a 17-part series on what I called “The Principles pf Discovery.” This involved a series of principles that all can use to discover as much truth as possible without involving supernatural powers. And then, even those who claim truth by revelation from God, an angel or master are often misled themselves, and should only be accepted if they are confirmed by evidence without and confirmation within one’s own soul.
I consider these principles important because even the most enlightened do not discern every situation or event correctly. The Divine path seems to be that if we want assistance from a Higher Source, we first need to do all we can on our own. It seems that our Higher Self does not reward us much if we are lazy and just sit back waiting for God to speak.
One of my favorite principles of discovery is:
“Take the things you know (for reasonable surety) to be true and use them as a foundation or stepping stones for testing additional truths.”
One of the reasons I wrote an article to reveal the most probable truth to the mystery of who killed Charlie Kirk was to illustrate this foundation principle. I sought to find the things that were very likely to be true in the case and then measure all conspiracy theories and guesses against those. If a belief contradicts something that is established with a high probability of being true, then it is most probable that the belief is not true.
In applying this principle let us look at one of the greatest mysteries of history which is this. How was such a complex and magnificent structure like the Great Pyramid built by such a primitive people who didn’t even have the wheel or steel tools?
Now, part of the time, the orthodox explanation for mysteries is the most logical, but other times it is not. In this case, the orthodox explanation falls far short. Orthodoxy maintains the Great Pyramid was made with copper chisels, sledges, enormous ramps and thousands of workers laboring over a 20-year time period. This would amount to placing a 2.5-ton limestone block in precision placement every two to three minutes.
In addition, there were around 250 super hard granite blocks weighing up to 20 tons and over sixty beams weighing up to 70 tons. These huge granite stones had to be cut and hauled over 500 miles before installation. Once there, the 70-ton beams had to be placed more than 50–60 meters above ground level inside the pyramid. To put this in perspective, these 70-ton beams are the weight of about six school busses.
This and dozens of other examples present hard core facts that one can assume with reasonable surety to be true. Any assumptions about how the Great Pyramid was built should harmonize with this established information.
Now many books have been written giving evidence of ancient technology involved in the building of the pyramid but for the sake of time we’ll just mention this one and note that there is much more.
All this indicates that there was some type of lost technology at play that is ignored by established science. That is the only conclusion that explains all the anomalies of the Great Pyramid and other ancient mysteries.
Unfortunately, the known facts do not tell us what that ancient technology actually was or where it came from, which is why there are so many unproven theories on the subject.
One can find many hints and come close to the real truth by always factoring in the facts known with reasonable surety and making sure all assumptions do not contradict them.
This principle applies to present-day mysteries as well, though it is much safer to discuss ancient ones as examining them does not press emotional buttons like things in current affairs.
Let us suppose we try to apply the principle to this question: “Is Donald Trump a good or bad president?” He is so controversial that it may be impossible to agree with any set of established facts concerning him, so we may have to wait 100 years for a reasonable discussion without extreme bias concerning him.
I thought I would apply this principle to the mysteries surrounding Charlie Kirk’s death. Whether one agrees with Charlie and Turning Point or not, many are curious as to whether they are getting the full story about his murder.
There are many details and assumptions and theories concerning the event where there is not much certainty, but there were two points which I did cover in my previous article of which we can be reasonably certain are true. Keep in mind that anything is possible, but do not let that distract from the details which are most likely to be true.
The first point we know with reasonable certainty is that Tyler Robinson was on the Losee Center rooftop about 130 meters away from Charlie and fired the kill shot. We can be reasonably certain of this because they found a spent 30.06 shell casing there with his matching DNA on it. He also left a screwdriver and handprint on the roof that had his DNA on it. The shooter then fled into the woods where they found the 30.06 rifle with Robinson’s DNA on the trigger.
What really adds certainty is that at approximately 12:45 p.m. MDT (25 minutes after the 12:20 p.m. shot), Robinson texted his roommate, Lance Twigg: “Drop what you’re doing, look under my keyboard.”
This initiated a 20+ message exchange where Robinson confessed further (e.g., “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out,” referring to Kirk’s views), discussed hiding the .30-06 rifle in woods, expressed worry about fingerprints, and urged Twigg to delete messages.
Critics say the messages were not time-stamped and suggest some conspirator fabricated them. Prosecutors say they have time stamps and have shared them with the defense.
Verified time stamps reveal the following:
12:45 p.m. Robinson writes “Drop what you’re doing, look under my keyboard.”
12:47 p.m. Robinson writes “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.
12:50 p.m. Robinson writes “If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence.”
12:59 p.m. Robinson writes “no, they grabbed some crazy old dude…”
The defense has not questioned the validity of these messages as they will be presented as needed during the trial.
It is interesting that Candace Owens has published numerous screenshots of her own text messages without time stamps, including some from Charlie Kirk.
In addition to this we have messages posted by Robinson on his Discord group (of which he was a member for around a year) which was definitely time stamped and his membership confirmed. The most incriminating message reads: “Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this. im surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments…”
Then there is the criticism about the note saying that all they have is digital photograph taken by Twigg in communication with Robinson. But the truth is that Twigg handed the physical note to authorities and made a sworn statement about finding it. In charging documents filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, this is cited as key premeditation evidence.
In addition, handwriting analysis completed by September 18 confirmed the note was written by Robinson.
The second point of truth with a reasonable surety is that the gun used was the grandfather’s 30.06 and there was just one shot fired. I cover this extensively in my last article. Some say that a 30.06 would create an exit wound which would normally be the case if it was a high grain with a full metal jacket, but there are numerous types of bullets, some designed to fragment within two inches of entering the body. Martin Luther King was shot with a 30.06 and the bullet did not exit his body, but fragments lodged in his shoulder.
We’ll find out for sure what type of bullet was used during the trial, as two unfired bullets were recovered.
When one figures the amount of planning, expertise, expense, technology and work that would have to go into a setup where Robinson was not the shooter, it is mind boggling indeed. This would include somehow setting Robinson up, faking the shot from the 30.06, placing his DNA multiple places, faking text messages on two phones, and joining Discord with a fake account around a year in advance.
It would be so much easier to just send one professional to do the job. After all, one nonprofessional outwitted the best that Secret Service protection had to offer to fire multiple shots in the attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. A single professional could have taken out Charlie quite easily on numerous occasions where his protection was on a much lower level than a major presidential candidate of the United States. The shot from the Losee center was 142 yards. An expert sniper could have made the shot from 1000 yards. With 1000-yard range, professionals could have taken out Charlie on numerous occasions with the minimal security that he had, and with the extra distance, escape would have been quite easy.
Could these two points be true and yet Robinson receive assistance and encouragement from conspiracy theory’s suspects, such as Israel’s Mossad, the Egyptians, disgruntled Turning Point employees, the Feds, the CIA, or even rogue Mormon Church officials? Or maybe he was just encouraged by an inner circle who shared his beliefs that Charlie needed to be neutralized? There are a lot of possibilities, but the chances are that if any turn out to be true, they will conform to the two points that we know to be true with reasonable certainty.
Unlike many sources of conspiracy theory, we should find out most of the truth from this one, as the prime suspect is still alive and is scheduled to have a trial. In January, he is supposed to have a hearing where he makes a plea. That should shed some light on the subject. Then later in the year, he should have a trial where quite a few details should come out.
Fortunately, Robinson has secured a high-powered defense, so if any of the conspiracy charges have any merit, they would most likely look into them and present them in court.
Heading up the defense is Nester Lewis, PLLC from Utah. Her firm has covered over 60 jury trials in high-profile cases. In addition, she has brought in two high powered defense attorneys to assist. They are:
Andrew Novak, a criminal defense specialist with over 30 years of practice and extensive capital case experience, including lead or co-counsel in more than 25 death-eligible homicide cases across federal and state courts in states like Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, and California.
Leslie R. Dymond, a high-profile attorney known for representing Lyle Menendez in his original 1996 murder trial (one of the Menendez brothers).
With this expertise at play, a large portion of the truth should come out.
Does his mean that talk conspiracy theories around the shooting will be put to rest?
That is doubtful, for some subtle mysteries will probably remain as humans by nature are attracted to the mysterious.
