Gaze into my eyes, JREF!

I had to post this. A friend sent me this YouTube vid the other day, and it was just so ridiculous I practically **** myself.

There's this guy named "Braco" who tours the world healing people with his "gaze." That's right, his "gaze." :eye-poppi And hundreds of thousands of people fall for this clown. You pay $10, go into a room with hundreds of other people, and he stands on a pedestal and "gazes" at you. And then like, your bacne is healed or something, and your "chakra aligns" or whatever.

Anyway, his website specifically states that his intense gazing energy could overwhelm children under 18 and pregnant women, so they aren't permitted. Also, if you bring photos, apparently his gaze heals through family portraits and other Kodak products.

Oh, and also he gazes by Skype. :hypnotize

The crazy thing is, this guy has like millions (millions!) of followers around the world who believe his crap. There's tons of videos of him on Youtube gazing at oceans and canyons and birds and whatever the **** else new-age morons like to look at while someone plays a piano solo in the background.

If you can stomach it, watch these morons and their leader in action. Also..Google him and his site pops up, it's equally laughable.

Enjoy!

No kids? Yeah, they have a tendency to point out that the emperor is starkers.

ETA: Had a look at the vid. Seems like a lot of middle-aged women want to gaze at his pretty eyes.

He gets paid ($10 x 200 = $2000) per hour to just stare at people and say bugger all. 20 sessions per week = $40,000, roughly $1.6 million per year.

Nice work if you can get it!

But....but.....but the video description on youtube said "he has never taken a cent for his miracles...." so he couldn't be doing this for money....








Oops. Sorry. I dropped some sarcasm there.... :D

...uh, yeah.:rolleyes:

I guess it must be his "ashram" that collects the door-money. He just gets enough for his pizza and smokes.


I see what you did there! :)

Oh, no. He's underpaid- The real skill lies in doing it all with a straight face. Not many people could pull that off.

God, what is it with people? Can't you read? It's 10 dollars! :D

(And then, he probably has people to do the taking for him, and then it is probably not for the "gazing". That's for free. I think. You're just compensating for traveling expenses, some basic food, hookers and blackjack and things like that.

The gazing is free; attendance is not.

Yeah, well, even charities have to pay their staff. :rolleyes:

Indeed, and he hasn't, why would he undersell such amazing magical powers. when he can (and does) charge much more than a cent. :D
 
I'll admit it. When it got to the part where he walks out onto the stage and starts staring, and the music is playing and stuff, I felt better! The pain in my head started to go away. I suddenly felt serene. It could have been some subtle psychological effects, it could have been the weed I smoked earlier, but it happened.

I laughed hysterically at the wording of your post and the video, reminds me why I got into the science of well-being in the first place. So I could design something ethical to sell these people :D I mean so I could help people achieve genuine happiness and well-being.

This will be my new joke. Whenever someone is upset or a situation is tense, I will simply do my Braco impersonation until everything gets better. Or I will send them this link to the staring part so they can get a healing too.

This is absolutely priceless. It's like spirituality porn.

I felt so depressed this morning and my life seemed so pointless. Then I saw this video. I immediately felt a pleasant tingling sensation in my chest, a warmth through my whole body...and then I burst out laughing. It works!!!:D

Seriously though, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the people attending these events. The fact that there is so much of this stuff in the world, and that people keep supporting it certainly implies that people think they need something like this. I'd like to know what they are looking for and why. I'm not sure they even know that themselves.
 
I would pay $10 just to be able to jump up in the middle of it and yell, "You lookin' at me? YOU LOOKIN' AT ME?"
 
But this staring stuff is all based on solid scientific research (from the video linked to by "Joey McGee"):

"Based on the latest findings and research of quantum physics, matter is but the deep-end of the spirit."

:eye-poppi There, now you're all healed. Send me ten bucks!

I used to do this for free, and have gazed thousands of people without their being aware of it.... Healed bunches of 'em.
So now, I'm sending out mass e-mailings to collect for "services rendered".

Those individuals suffering from gout, acne, and boils may be assured I didn't see 'em......
 
BTW, I love that I had to have my post edited for profanity.

I'm sorry. :( It's a condition I have...it's like a cousin of Tourette's. Anyway I forgive you for making me self-conscious of my social impairment.
 
Wowser! Now can I call the followers of this chuckle head stupid without getting attacked for blaming the victim?

Holy Batpole Batman! This is over the top stupid!

I thought the numnums that followed Sylvia Browne were dumber than dirt.
These clownsnacks couldn't find their checkbooks with both hands and a flashlight.
