MASUMAI - Derek Acorah's Spirit Guide

[JonnyHendo]

This may have been mentioned before, I know I have asked the question before.

Derek Acorah (the UK's number one medium, failed footballer and wannabe barber shop photo model) has a 'spirit guide' called Sam - full name Masumai.

Now I have always thought Derek was a bit of a joker. His cold reading is terrible and he really doesn't make that much of an effort other than repeating 'hits' over and over again - 'hits' that are few and far between I might add!

Anyway, the point is, his spirit guide's name. 'MASUMAI' is 'I AM U SAM' backwards. He calls his guide Sam for short.

Is it possible that this joker is simply having a laugh and one day will reveal that the clues were always there to suggest he was making the whole thing up? This being one of them.

Any views would be of interest!

Of course he's having a laugh particularly at the suckers who pay good money to attend his shows.

The redoubtable J.Z. Knight had entire books written by her "spirit guide", a 40,000-year-old ex-Atlantean named "Seth". Pages and pages of utter gibberish.

Yes, I actually read one.

That's not the same "Seth" that Jane Roberts "channeled?" I never heard of J Z Knight.

I'll have to look that one up. I just thought of something, Jane Robert's "Seth" said his name was something else but he felt like a "Seth." In her books they used "Frank Withers" as his name, but not his real one. I wonder why they didn't use a dead guy's real name, dig up some facts, and make him look genuine.

Of course I only read one book and listened to a couple of audio tapes, but they plainly (she and her husband) held things back. I don't really know why because what Jane "channeled" was very cohesive and intelligent-sounding, and very very detailed. But, being a writer I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that.

Man oh man, Derek should have come up with Rik Eidels. That would have been funny! And what was the other...Kreed Kafer, I think.

Derek Lies, Derek Faker. Priceless on Kieren O'Keefe's part!

Whoever is alleged to have said "there's one born every minute" was absolutely right.

Acorah's still reeling them in. The Michael Jackson seance is a classic example.

Well, I used to love watching Acorah on "Most Haunted" because he was so freaking hilarious. The episode where he said spirits were possessing bunnies outside was truly priceless. At the end the skeptic O'Keefe, said, "spirit bunnies? I've never heard that before and hope to never again." LOL

J.Z. Knight channeled the ex-Atlantean but his name was Ramtha. Jane Roberts channeled the Seth gibberish.

There's one thing that amuses me about spirit guides and past lives -- the fact that they're invariably some sort of noble or prominent person, when they're human at all. It's always Atlantean princes, Egyptian High-Priests, and Mesopotamian Warriors.

You'll never see someone claiming to be guided by, or have been in a past life, say, "Joshua Bellows, Assistant Ratcatcher and Doggie-doo Scooper of Lower Tadfield", "Accomodus the Lesser, Favorite Rent-Boy of Achilles' Chief Cup-Bearer", or "The Second Son of the 18th Earl of Doncaster, Who Wasn't Quite Right in the Head, and Had an Unnatural Attraction to Sheep". (Although I believe that Shemp may be channelling that last one.)
