Dear Loss Leader and Fellow Forumers,
PC, thank you very much for your report. Your devotion to your beliefs and to trying to spread your message is an admirable quality in itself.
I would ask you, however, to please consider the following. Imagine that I go to a spirit medium named Mrs. Bunko. In my seances with Mrs. Bunco, I hear the voice of God tell me all sorts of things about this life, the afterlife, history and the future. However, Mrs. Bunco is a fake. She is simply producing the sounds through some clever device with the help of a friend in the next room. The things she says about the past cannot be checked; the things she says about heaven obviously cannot be checked; nothing can be checked.
Believing that this is the voice of God, I go to Mrs. Bunco and ask God if he will remotely sense five random numbers. Now, Mrs. Bunco is a fake - she cannot possibly guess the numbers correctly. If she guesses and gets them wrong, I will realize she is a fake. If she refuses to hear my request, she'll look suspicious. So she does the only thing she can: she tells me that she is willing but we have to ask God for his permission. And then the voice of God refuses to take the test. God comes up with the excuse that it is not his way and belief must come from the heart, not from evidence.
I go away unsatisfied and Mrs. Bunco has escaped revealing that she is a fake.
Please consider the above, PC. Read it and think about it. Now let me ask you one question: If we were to remove the names, how can we tell Ms. Alvaran from Mrs. Bunco?
Ms. Alvaran, who is real, behaved in exactly the same way as Mrs. Bunco, who is a fake. Why should we believe Ms. Alvaran is real?
More importantly, why should you believe Ms. Alvaran is real?
I would be very glad to know whether this experience has made you reevaluate your own beliefs.
I firmly believe in Ama, the spirit. The medium, Mrs. Alvaran, is not a fake. Actually, in 1957, she was hesitant to become a medium.
I have mentioned that it took me eleven years (1983-1994) before I accepted that the spirit is Jesus Christ. Can you make your scrutiny that long?
One thing favorable that came out of my trip to the Philippines is my interviewing the people who remain devoted to the spirit. The interview is tape recorded. I then thought of putting up a website of the experiences of these people.
I asked them how they learned about the spirit or Mrs. Alvaran, how long it took them to accept that the spirit who appropriates Mrs. Alvaran's body is Jesus Christ, why they keep coming back, and other questions that I raised for clarification.
One person is Pilar Pilambato. She said that in 1978 or 1979, she was operated on her ovary for four times for cancer. The doctors had given up and told her that she would live for six months to one year only. In her desperation, she learned about a faith healer in Metro Manila and searched for her. I will put her entire story in a website, but to cut the story short, she is still living, robust, widow, now 70 years old, and is actively serving Mrs. Alvaran, the ill listeners, and the group of listeners.
A daughter related the experiences of her late father, Marcial Aguila, a journalist, who in 1973 or 1974 was given up by his doctors to live only for about three to six months due to lung disease. He was healed by the spirit, became a very ardent devotee, wrote articles about his experiences, one of which I read in the Sunday magazine supplement called
Panorama. He lived until 1992 and died of old age.
I will let you know of its URL when I finish writing them.
Much that I would like to accept the Challenge, without the spirit's participation, I know it would fail. Even Mrs. Alvaran does not have, I think, that power to know the numbers in the boxes.
Deep within me, I am very thankful to those people, such as Jackalgirl and Loss Leader and others, who helped in formulating the test protocol. I hope that it be used later on.
The spirit has revealed future events, like where World War III will start (Philippines; Spratly Islands, in particular), the birth of three-eyed human babies, birth of baby with horn, human being giving birth to kitten, and cat to human being, the turning of our money to stone (meaning, it will become worthless), the loss of all jobs all over the world, the giving away of dwelling places (due to the death of many people), the abundance of women to few men but still men will not be satisfied, the death of six of every seven infants born with the surviving one becoming fierce, etc. I hope that when, not if, these happen, you will believe in the spirit. These prophecies may be better than the naming of the numbers inside the boxes to test the spirit. I had hoped that the spirit would agree to the Challenge to resolve the question once and for all, like what my father said. Unfortunately, it is the spirit who did not accept the Challenge. I do not understand what He meant when He said that it is not special to them.
Best regards,
