After reading through all his reviews, I'm actually quite optimistic that it isn't a scam. I know there a lot of people who want to believe so they'll use confirmation bias to make it all fit but if he was just guessing and cold reading, there would be a few bad reviews in there and I can't find any that are bad. They're all five stars reviews raving about hiim and many repeat customers.
I've watched a few more of Matt Fraser's videos and the level of detail in them is absolutely crazy. I'm convinced that something more is at play here because here's no way he's getting that information from Facebook. The guy in the Derren Brown video extracts information and then uses that to prove he's connecting to something, which he clearly isn't, and then drags it out and repeats himself a lot. He repeats back a lot of what he's just been told like he's sharing new information and it's just all so manipulative and snide. Matt Fraser is like a fountain of detailed messages and everything resonates with the person he's reading for. He doesn't ask any questions or fish for information - it just pours out of him. It's on a totally different level. I've never seen anything like it.
Palm reading, that's interesting. Do you think there's anything to it? I'm back in sceptical mode here but it sounds intriguing.
My plan to live for a bit longer has escalated quickly. I decided that if I'm going to be alive for two weeks, then I might as well go to five weeks. I went for a run and it actually felt pretty great so I came home and entered the Paris Marathon. I only have a month to train now but I'm hoping I can get my fitness back in time. I did a few marathons at the end of last year but I've lost a lot of fitness due to staying in bed for a couple of months and doing nothing but plotting my exit! The suicidal urges are still really strong but now I've paid all this money for my entry, flights and hotel, I've decided to put them to one side until I finish the marathon.
Good for you.
I think the guy in the Derren Brown video is very, very self-delusional and cold-reading without realising it.
Fraser is certainly interesting. As a believer in Buddhist doctrine, I do believe in the Akashic records. Now, is Fraser accessing these to glean details and pretend like the spirts are coming through? I think it really believes in his own ability and I don't sense a guile about him.
When I was reading palms, I used them to access the Akashic records. I didn't sugar-coat things. What I usually saw was generally ugly and really negative. I always told the truth about what I saw as the very few people I actually read were paying off some really heavy Karmic debt. But people never want to hear the truth and want some sugar-coated Pollyanna version of their future....ie. you'll meet a dark stranger and fall in love, etc.
Nothing like the natural endorphins you get from running. It's like a natural heroin produced by your own system.
Like you, my ctb plans have gone from short to mid term. There are certain things I need to do and plan for for my family after my passing that are still in progress.
I want to approach this process level-headed and rational. No offence to some of our younger members and their pain, but on the whole, I've had a really good and sweet life. I don't want to do this in a moment of crazy impulse.
Drinking wine and listening to Radiohead Kid A right now in a house that I've almost paid the mortgage off on. That'll do for now!
