I have heard about other people who got worse after being around JOG. Many get sicker. I had a friend who went to listen to a New Age guru speak. She said she got sick and spent the day in the bathroom vomiting. She was fine at the end of the day. Personally, I think some of these gurus have negative entities attached to them and they suck the life out of people.

Thank you for your reply, very interesting.

Here was the weird thing, after I left Omega I was DRAINED. I slept probably 15-16 hours after the event. I felt ill, exhausted, and totally depleted. My friend said this is "normal" and lots of people have this reaction.

Yes, I read about this. The TL;DR seems to be - apart from your feeling of being drained of energy, and the exhaustion - were there any longer lasting effects? Since most of his followers claim that after having an experience like you had, they then felt 'healed' at some point.

Also - why do you think was one of your friends singled out, and was ask to stay?

Thanks.

" I'm wondering if the experience I had was actually some form of energy-theft/vampirism which is why I was so exhausted after."

Yes, that is what they refer to as an "invisible surgery" where you are totally depleted for almost a day afterwards and all you can do is rest. JoG would come into a room where we were all seated with our eyes closed and he would say some prayer with "Deus" in it and the only feeling I remember was relaxation. It was a very subtle thing. I had several of these in Abadiania when I stayed there in 2003. At the time I thought they were healing, and now I think just the opposite, as I have been chronically ill since a about 2 years after I got back from Brazil (it took some time for the illness to manifest). I'm glad you didn't keep having the "surgeries" like I and my friend did - he has also been ill just like me. I might as well tell you that my first "surgery" was a physical one, which I volunteered for out of my own naivete, and I got the forceps jammed up the nasal canal procedure, where I saw a flash of light and felt a lot of pain when it happened, even though they claim he uses some kind of spiritual anesthetic to make his operations pain-free. I imagine it was used with me, but it still hurt. After that, a nurse took me to a back room for me to rest while she sopped up whatever blood was running down my face. The next time, I felt ok until I suddenly had a severe pain in my liver area to the point of almost not being able to walk. I barely made it to the place I was staying, drank a ton of water because of how dehyrdrated I was, and soon after that, started purge up large quantities of BLACK liquid, filling a bucket half full. It was a horrible and painful experience and I was totally drained afterwards. At the time, I thought it was a cleansing, but again, now I think the opposite and that they put some dark spirit in me. That was my first surgery, so I decided to stay after that because I thought there was a chance they could help me with the problem I came there for and ended up staying there for 6 months. After I came home I had some digestive problems, then after about 2 years, I developed a severe condition which has only gotten worse over the years. What did not help was doing a remote healing from them where I took the passionflower herbs (when I still thought JoG was good), after which I felt much worse and all my symptoms I had had before were even worse. Now i'm looking for someone who can finally get rid of this once and for all.
