By exploiting the afterlife, his small business does not experience the crisis.
“I see people who are dead.” The film from which this line is taken grossed more than $670 million. The concept was brilliantly taken up in France by a mentalist, Bruno Charvet. If it has not yet reached the gains generated by the film 6th Sense, the small company of communication with the beyond, (created after the first successes of Tyler Henry) is not experiencing the crisis…
Death. The departure of a loved one is undoubtedly the only thing that deeply affects each of us, even the most insensitive. Death is also the business of mediums, real or false. In our modern civilization, death has become a powerful moment and mourning is increasingly difficult to do. In the complicated moments of this modern life where solidarity and real relationships fade in favor of virtual friendships, we tend to cling to those who have left, because we think or want to believe that they are the only ones who listen to us and understand us.
For some time now, a certain Bruno has been surfing the dialogue with the beyond and even declares that he makes it his job. At first glance, the man appears very friendly, caring, always empathetic. When you scratch the varnish a little, there are still two or three little things that stand out.
First of all, when we watch his videos, what stands out is the flow of words and gestures, and the absence of precise statements. A technique well known to mentalists to capture the client’s attention and prevent their brain from analyzing what is said, what is happening and what they say themselves…. The whole art consists at the same time in capturing the client’s oral information and facial expressions. It must be recognized that the man in question has this talent, such as that of letting his interlocutors think that it is he who has guessed the details delivered by themselves. When we know that 80% of human language is in gestures, we look at the videos from another angle and without sound, and we easily realize the amount of information delivered unwittingly by the people wishing to participate in these filmings. Any headhunter will confirm that in a job interview, a candidate’s attitude says more than what they say. What annoys us a little in the story is that the very likeable Bruno attacked a young mentalist who dared to wonder if Bruno’s mediumship was not simply cold reading.
And yes my good lady, our Muchu franchouillard does not make hidden cameras fishing for his interlocutors here or there. The videos are prepared, the candidates selected in advance, the videos are then edited. On what criteria are candidates selected? Why are some videos not playing? No one knows, except perhaps former jurors of reality TV shows who have passed into the afterlife…
Our super Bruno Dela insists a lot on the fact that he knows nothing about the people he meets during video shoots. On the other hand, his staff knows him and sorts the candidates in advance, at a time when everyone displays their lives on social networks, it is easy to find one or more significant eventsin the life of any person. As for celebrities, we can know everything about them, from the menu of their last meal to the brand of their favorite socks…
Here we find a characteristic of certain mediums – clairvoyants – astrologers who have a pressing need to establish their credibility by referring to a few more or less well-known people. “Seen on TV”, “the psychics of the stars”, the “star of the psychics of the stars”, that puts its man on the map. Well yes, if a star believes in it, why wouldn’t I believe it? Except that even the most famous of celebrities can be fooled. Remember Danièle Gilbert and the famous Ré ring…
And then hey, whether we’re a star or an unknown person, we’ve all lost an ancestor we adored. And unless we have a chance of cuckolding, we’ve all experienced a serious event in the family… Besides, the person who has a chance of cuckolding should tell themselves that there is still something not normal in their life: like the neighbor who comes to see Madame while Monsieur is scrambling over a delicate matter.
Basically, we could summarize the famous videos like this.
Medium: Hello Anna, I don’t know anything about you, not even your first name. I see a man and a woman around you. Someone who cared about you very much.
Anna: There’s my grandmother.
Medium: See I was right, it’s your grandmother. It’s a first name that starts with A. Has something.
Anna: Her name was Victorina.
Medium: I was right, there is an A. She really likes you. She tells me there was something serious in your family. Something to do with the road. An accident something like that.
Anna: My brother fell on the tiles while riding a tricycle when we were little.
Medium, that’s it. Your grandmother loves you very much. You and your brother. You have a brother don’t you?
Yes.
Your grandmother told me. She wrote you a letter before she died. Did you find it?
Anna: No.
Medium: look for it, it’s in a cabinet.
Anna: Well we sold all the furniture.
Medium: Your grandmother tells me it’s not serious. You will find her again one day.
Anna: The letter?
Medium: Not the grandmother. In the afterlife. Buzz Lightyear will take you there. To infinity and beyond…
We can of course say that this kind of meeting can do good for people in difficulty, who need to believe that the people they once loved so much are still there to support and love them. After all, since the beginning of humanity, man has always needed a spiritual crutch to get through the worst times of his life. Everyone is free to believe in what they want. What is more embarrassing is when some people make a lucrative business out of it by suggesting that they are there just out of simple altruism. It does not seem to me that people like Abbé Pierre, Sister Emmanuelle or even Coluche have indulged in multiplying videos and tours to praise their great merits and then take money from the people they helped. Besides, I doubt that they will ever attack one of their detractors…
