rarely talk about this, there is another wizard that lived in friday harbor.

I spent most of my youth and 20s with this man. He taught pain alleviation and hypnosis. I spent 6 years learning from him, 2 as an intern. When I left, the whole hypnosis community made me sick. It is filled with false hoods and people lusting for power. Tony Robbins hired my mentor, the guy the book Monster's and magical sticks was about, "dave".

I occassionally saw patients with burns and cancer treatments. While till this day, I have no real idea how I can allevate their pain, they do. I stopped after an ass named wolf of wall street jordan belfort, used a portion of it to scam people out of millions.

My last phone call was with him, I asked him if he was going to let his current "life mate" if she was going to told the last 2-3 missing pieces.. He laughed, and said no, it should go our graves. I am conflicted , cause i want people to know he FOUND the secret, but realized it was like a nuclear weapon of communication. Politicians are already manipulative, but to make an army of them that has near god like abilities... would be socially resposible.

Thus I hide on the internet, rarely complain, and speak about the other wizard in friday harbor.

may he rest in peace, and Ill take to my grave what he left out. The night where I saw the magic he was trying to keep secret. He grabbed me in the throat and made me swear not to tell. I kept my promise old friend, my 2nd dad.




Is there no defensive value? Would your/his position change if it was already being used for offense? This is akin to the zero-day debate.


Some secrets keep themselves.

"The history of mankind is the history of war between gangs of hypnotists."


The san juan's seem to both collect and produce wizards
