The life of ancestors and angels can be the theoretical basis for the operation of certain groups; it can also be just a side element.
The past life theme is drawn from the Hindu teachings of karma and from lamaism. These are ideas communicated today by both traditional Churches, as well as by the most peculiar theories. Traditional Mediumism, now called channeling, is a favorite tool for spreading these ideas. Around the person of the medium, which is supposedly a communication channel, a group is gathering waiting for news from the beyond and the past. Sometimes it is considered, that the medium-guru is a privileged contact person with the spirit, with your "angel", which provides him with useful news for this, to prove his authority. The angel allegedly helps the guru even, for example, to disperse the fog… At least that's what Marc Schweitzer says about Magua Lebrun, animator of one of the most important contemporary French healing groups:
France was immersed in a dense fog. On the road from Bourgoin to Grenoble, nothing was visible for ten meters. Three kilometers before arriving in Maguy, the fog suddenly cleared and beneath a brilliant blue, through the cloudless sky I saw a small chapel from a distance, indicative sign, thanks to which it was possible to get to her.
The healer herself does not claim the power to change the climate, but he is careful, that it can restore health.
In our group we had a tiny girl with a congenital visual defect. The specialist told the parents, that he will go blind completely. It was impossible to cure such a defect with the help of magnetism. Our guide [her angel] he told us: “This is too hopeless. We will try a spiritual operation ". We waited a whole month for a signal to act, preparing for surgery. On the predicted day, mum hugged the newborn to her breast and prayed with all her soul during our spiritual impact. Great weariness spoke at her, and I felt, that she, too, participates in the wonderful transmission of energy needed to obtain a positive result. The effect turned out to be dazzling. Today Cecylia is fourteen years old. He wears tinted glasses, has to follow some doctors' advice. However, she attends normal school, and one day I saw her, as she watched the ant.
There is a clear reference to the themes here, which already fascinated the astronomer Kamil Flammarion at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and which are now being enlivened by voodoo groups, scattered all over the holiday.
Many healing groups revive the shamanic practices known to ethnologists. Many gurus take advantage of them, to claim the status of a saint, which in the collective unconscious means a person endowed with the ability to heal. It used to be considered, that the legitimacy of the kings of France is evidenced by the power allegedly conferred on them to heal scrofula. At present, the guru is showing his authority to his subjects, boasting about the extraordinary therapeutic power they possess.
