1 Promised woo the other day & here it is. Bengston's rather conservative & usually relies solely on data he's collected. This is one of the times he shared something that cannot be verified & is considered woo. But as you'll see, he doesn't make claims about what it represents.

2 I love this stuff & the fact that other folks claim they saw the same thing makes me take it seriously. If this isn't your thing, ignore it.

Didn't expect to find this at the end of Bengston's book. "Ben" = Ben Mayrick, the psychic/healer that changed Bengston's life.

"When Ben and I went into the apartment of one Manhattan medium, she freaked out: 'My God, there’s seven of them!' That was the most we ever

6 "That’s what Ben called them. We never got into mythologizing them with names or different personalities like Dopey, Sneezy, & Grumpy. If Ben wanted to ask them for help, he did. It was just something he took for granted. They were a presence, like you or anyone else might be.

7 "The Fellows sometimes followed me when Ben wasn’t around. I never heard voices or had any sense they were listening or otherwise interacting with me, but I could feel them, and I could see lights and flying sparks.

8 "So here’s my dirty little secret. Occasionally - say, once a year if I’m feeling nervous - I’ll call upon them: 'Hey, guys, here’s something I need.' I did that the day I lectured to a crowd of skeptical medical researchers at the University of Connecticut’s Center for

15 Lue has spoken about the possibility we're now interacting with (and seeing) something that's always been on this planet and around us. Are the Fellows connected to the Phenomenon? Or something totally separate and unique? Or are they just part of the so-called higher self?
