Psychic
surgery originated in the Philippine Islands. There are many psychic surgeons
practicing there today - many found through local hotels.
Psychic surgery is performed through the mind and spirit of the healer. In a
visionary experience, the healer has been given the gift of healing and psychic
surgery by the Holy Spirit.
In psychic surgery the healer uses the mind to concentrate spiritual power through
the hands into the body of the patient.
The healer, in semi-trance, or meditative state, has his hands guided by the
spirit.
The spirit detects those parts of the body in which disease is developing and
injects spiritual energy into those parts. Blood and tissue materialize on the
patient's body.
Pus, cartilage, bone, worms, stones and other objects might materialize on to
the body.
Sometimes the spirit causes the healer's hands to enter the body and attract
diseased tissue. This tissue is pulled out without leaving a wound or scar.
The tissue closes as the hands are taken out of the body.
Energy projected from the healer's hands opens body tissue much as an orthodox
surgeon uses a scalpel to do the same thing.
This energy appears to harmonize with the patient's body as the body is entered.
The healer's semi-trance is vital to a surgical process that can be seen to
alter cosmetic appearance as well as reducing the size of tumors and making
deep tissue changes.
After psychic surgery, in many circumstances, the organs remain; only the disease
component is no longer evident.
My understanding is that the surgery changes the organ by causing the disease
component to be rejected.
Psychic surgery might be more accurately described as cleansing the human body.
Spiritual energy is used to enhance those parts of the body that have been depleted
by injury caused through emotional or mental trauma, physical trauma or dietary
or chemical trauma.
Spiritual trauma might also be a cause. Spiritual energy used in the surgery
appears to heal that injury.
Spiritual energy can, seemingly, do only good. No anaesthetic is used in psychic
surgery. The relaxation response of the patient is enough. No pain is felt.
Spiritual energy is cleansing and cannot contaminate.
There appears to be no risk of cross-infection or open-wound infection. There
is not the risk, as in orthodox surgery, of accidental trauma if a scalpel should
slip.
There are no complications of resuscitation or post-operative care. The patient
can get up and leave the site immediately after the procedure.
Psychic surgery usually takes no more than a few minutes. Many patients can
be treated during each healing session.
A patient is conscious throughout the procedure and is able to get off the healing
table without discomfort.
Psychic surgery is an energy enhancement of the body, quite different to the
invasive incision of the medical scalpel.
Following this diagnostic procedure, the surgeon places his hands (as if the
hands are a scalpel) and penetrates the patient's physical body.
This will look to all observers as a straight line perforating the skin in the
area determined by the surgeon that needs healing.
There is little or no bleeding other than what remains on the diseased tissue
after it is removed.
Some of the adjustments may include spinal adjustment, removal of tumors or
cancerous growths, alignment of bones, adjustment of internal organs such as
uterus, ovaries, kidneys, liver, pancreas, heart, among others.
This surgery takes approximately 15 minutes to half an hour and may involve
several procedures.
The patient may have a slight, almost invisible, mark at the area of psychic
incision. The area may feel slightly tender for 24 hours.
These are experiences as reported by several of my clients who have recently
undergone successful procedures.
The surgeon they used is Reverand Gregorio from the Philippines.
It is estimated that there are more than 400 psychic surgeons in the Philippines.
There is one in every big hotel in Manila.
Reverend Tony Agpaoa was the most famous.
WARNING: If you choose to undergo this type of healing, determine the
credentials of the surgeon you are using, believe in his healing ability and
your soul's willingness to be healed.
Pat
McNamara vividly recalls a time when psychic surgeon Alex Orbito placed his
hands inside of his body while he lay on a table in his San Diego home. McNamara
says Orbito came to his house and performed psychic surgery for up to 100 people
who waited in line to have the procedure done.
McNamara, who at the time was a Catholic priest, had psychic surgery done to
remove any physical manifestations of negative spirituality in his body and
also to see where God existed beyond the four walls of the church. He believes
that a healer's hands can enter the body because God's space exists between
the molecules in matter such as the body.
"Alex has been gifted enough to flip between the cells of the body and
allow his hands to be a magnet to attract any negative material that's in there
and pull it out," says McNamara. "I've seen him put his hand in [the
body] up to his fist and it's amazing. And I've also seen him put someone else's
hand in the body too. So I know that part is not a fake."
During the psychic experience, the ailing subject usually lies on a table and
submits their physical body to be healed by the surgeon. For example, if the
patient comes to the psychic surgeon with some form of cancer, a witness would
watch as the hands of the surgeon seem to disappear into the body and extract
a bloody, cancerous piece of flesh - which is believed to be the offending tumour.
Although blood appears during the procedure, no incision is ever made into the
skin.
Psychic surgery also includes treatments that can involve procedures such as
spinal adjustments, bone alignment and the adjustment of internal organs such
as the uterus, ovaries, kidneys, pancreas and heart. The procedures usually
take about 15 minutes, no anesthetic is used, no pain is felt and there is no
scarring.
After the surgery, the blood is wiped away from the body and the patient gets
up from the table and leaves.
Many critics say that psychic surgery is a fraud and many others believe that
it is a spiritual form of healing. And this is one of the reasons that psychic
surgery is said to be one of the most controversial forms of spiritual healing.
During its height of popularity in the 70s and 80s, psychic surgery was attacked
by various critics including the media and US government agencies because of
its dramatic nature. Despite this fact, this form of psychic healing still lives
on in the 90s and has been transported from its native origins of the Philippines
to Australia, England and even the US.
Critics believe that psychic surgery is nothing but a sleight-of-hand fraud,
used to create an illusion that patients can be cured of ailments and diseases
with bare hand techniques. But thousands of people in the Philippines say that
they have had positive experiences with psychic surgery and many people have
flown from all over the world to the Philippines and also Brazil to be healed
by psychic surgeons.
Chris Cole first began practising psychic surgery in the Philippines in 1975
and has been performing the procedure in Australia since 1991. Cole says she
developed a spiritual bond to psychic surgery while she was in the Philippines
on vacation and soon became a practitioner of this form of healing.
"I felt that's what God wanted me to do," says Cole. "Psychic
surgery is not something that you grow up thinking you want to do. It wasn't
something I actually knew about until I had gone to the Philippines. I had quite
a few psychic experiences during one of which my hand was lifted up into the
air and I felt like I had all of this energy surging down through my arms."
The most graphic form of psychic surgery (or bare hand surgery), where the hands
actually enter the body has made its media debut on popular shows like the X-Files
and in Hollywood films such as Man on the Moon. But Cole doesn't practise this
more dramatic form of psychic surgery anymore. Instead she now practices a more
etheric (energy-based) form of psychic surgery that is performed by acting as
an energy channel for her patients.
She
says she stopped practising the more dramatic form of bare hand surgery because
of her personal experiences with media backlash. But when she was practising
this form of psychic surgery, she says her patients had positive results.
"My
belief is that I don't heal anybody," says Cole. "All I do is act
as a channel for the energy and that energy then helps to initiate the healing
response. Your own innate healing wisdom does the healing and all I do is act
as a medium for the energy. I believe that universal energy is the God essence
and it's a connection with the source of that energy that I'm tapping into."
The
controversy behind psychic surgery
Although psychic surgery is widely practised in the Philippines it is also performed
in Indonesia, Central Africa and Brazil. It is estimated that there are more
than 400 psychic surgeons in the Philippines and that these surgeons have performed
over three million operations over the past 40 years.
Although psychic surgery has been a traditional practice in the Philippines
for centuries it has come under international scrutiny since as early as the
1960s. One of the strongest opponents of psychic surgery is the Philippine Medical
Association (PMA), which claims that the surgeons simply take advantage of gullible
people.
Andy Kaufman, the US actor who is famous for his role in the sitcom Taxi , is
believed to be one of those gullible people. After being diagnosed with advanced
lung cancer, Kaufman flew to a resort in Baguio City (just outside of Manila)
where he underwent psychic surgery treatments. Within a few months after returning
to the US, Kaufman was dead. Some critics believe that he would still be alive
if he had sought treatment from a conventional Western practitioner.
James Randi is an internationally renowned magician and escape artist who has
been investigating and demystifying paranormal claims since he was 15 years
old. Randi, who is a long time opponent of psychic surgery, says the procedure
is nothing more than a hoax.
"I've witnessed psychic surgery in the Philippines and in the West and
I've got many many hours of videotape of it - in the unedited versions - that
very plainly show what the gimmicks are," says Randi, who is also the president
of the James Randi Educational Foundation. "But you will only see them
if you know what to look for."
If psychic surgery is simply a hoax, then why do people continue to have it
done? What draws people to believe that psychic surgery will heal them?
