Here is the link to the post exposing the fraud by Gary Smith about 11/11/11 so it doesn't get lost.


Gary Smith's, Sacred Merkaba Techniques, failed prophecy about Comet Elenin and 11/11/11:
[forum.culteducation.com]

Too bad we didn't pass Gary Smith's prediction to the media. We could have made a spectacle out of him like Harold Camping's epic failure.

Maybe there's some more predictions of his we can did up and pass off to the media before-hand.

Acually, here's something really idiotic of Gary Smith to say:
[www.merkaba.org]

He says "Why all of the sudden sunspots?"
"The sun is entering a period of activity never seen before. In August 2010, for the first time, an immense sunspot covered the surface of the sun"

This is completely made up. It's called the sunspot cycle and it happens every 11 years or so.
"Never seen before"?
Scientists have known about susnpots centuries:
[solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov]

And scientist have known about the sunspot cycle, and can predict it to reoccur every 11 years since the 1800's.
This "period of activity never seen before" has actually been seen many times.

More batty stuff about Merkaba and the earths ionosphere here in these citations

[www.google.com]

Evidently people into this stuff are schooled in fear--fear of government, fear of mainstream 'self serving' religions, fear of losing their merkaba energy through anger....

Fear, fear, fear. Always something to do so one doenst lose one's energies.

And an aversion for cilantro, fer crying out loud.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 6
THE CANCER TEMPERAMENT: SHIFTING the Predisposition of Cancer with Dr. Ingrid Naiman. Just as there are certain people more prone to heart attacks or diabetes, there are those called "Type C" personalities who have a higher risk of developing cancer. These people are described as having emotions they feel they cannot or should not express, by deferring in situations where confrontations might escalate, by focusing more on their responsibilities than their own needs, and by placing more emphasis on keeping their lives under control than on finding their creativity and joy. Moreover, many have a schism between their spiritual and personal lives that is so great as to make it seem that the two cannot coexist. This seminar is about the need to find one's true self and give it permission to express. 1-5PM, Evanston School of Yoga, 1122 Seward, Evanston. $45. 847/869-4609.

HERBAL ALTERNATIVES FOR CANCER Treatment with Dr. Ingrid Naiman. Dr. Naiman is the author of a highly praised book on a method of tumor removal involving the application of pastes and salves to the tumor sites. This method was used by Hildegard of Bingen, Native American medicine men, and by many eclectic physicians until the advent of radium therapy early in this century. Dr. Naiman has researched the formulae and methods of use of these escharotic treatments, found that they have enjoyed an 80% success rate for many centuries, and reported in detail so that lay persons as well as health care professionals can use this method if they like. In addition, she has studied the adjunctive therapies that aid digestion, immunity, detoxification and blood purification as well as those said to have an advantage in preventing metastases. This presentation covers her work and makes the methods understandable so that patients can safely employ an alternative to conventional therapies that avoids the harmful side effects of modern medicine. 7-10PM, Chiaravalle Montessori School, 425 Dempster, Evanston. $35. 847/869-4609.

Here is the link to the post exposing the fraud by Gary Smith about 11/11/11 so it doesn't get lost.


Gary Smith's, Sacred Merkaba Techniques, failed prophecy about Comet Elenin and 11/11/11:
[forum.culteducation.com]

Too bad we didn't pass Gary Smith's prediction to the media. We could have made a spectacle out of him like Harold Camping's epic failure.

Maybe there's some more predictions of his we can did up and pass off to the media before-hand.

So far Gary Smith's next perdiction I can find is that the sun will explode on 12/21/2012.
[www.merkaba.org]


Try and search his announcements for any prredictions before then. We can pass those along to the media - they love making fools out of people.
And regarding Gary's Comet Elenin prediction:
What's his explanation for that?
It was supposed to be the opening of the "7th Seal"
Is he going to update his followers on what the new "7th Seal" is?
According to the book of Revelations, the 7th seal is explained as "the stars falling from the sky"

I'm sure Gary is sweating bullets trying to find the next close encounter with a comet. Maybe he'll just end up using the annual Perseid meteor shower as the new 7th Seal.

The 7th seal must be opened before 12/212012. Time is running out, Gary. Come up with something quick. Only about a year left. The 7th Seal MUST be opened to begin the period of tribulations!

Come on, Gary! Think of something! Make a new announcement. We need an endtimes update.

[merkaba.org]

Here's a Gary Smith announcement in response to Harold Camping's miscalculation of the Rapture.

Would somebody be willing to e-mail in response?

. . . Saying something along the lines of "Please give us an explanation of YOUR miscalculation about 11/11/11 and Comet Elenin?"
All of your beleivers understand the importance of the opening of the Seventh Seal in the chain of events that must take place for the period of tribulation to begin."
A lot of us are scratching our heads over this"
Can you pleease make an announcement expaining what we should be looking for between now and next year, as far as the stars falling from the sky as a sign of the Seventh Seal?

I can't e-mail them. I've already emailed many questions to them, and I don't need them investigating me.

Gary Smith targets people who see themselves as being "different".
So he targets people who seem to want to believe almost anything.

For example, that the sun will explode next year.
Of course, anyone with basic general knowledge will know the sun has been around for billions of years, and will continue as such.

But Gary Smith knows he can defacto "hypnotize" his main followers to believe almost anything.
Other sects convince their followers that aliens live at the center of the earth, or that some people are lizardpeople from Uranus, or whatever.

Sadly, some people are going to believe Gary Smith saying that Doomsday is next year, and will sell everything, and give Gary Smith the cash for some courses.
That is what its all about. More cash for Gary Smith, using FEAR to motivate people.

If people have already been ripped off by Gary Smith, they can make complaints to the FTC, or the states complaint office. Its possible the authorities would investigate it.

Also, I hope we can keep this thread focused on Gary Smith and his specific misdeeds, and not go off on tangents, as that will serve to further confuse any of his followers who are having doubts. Its best to just stick to the specific issue, the specific facts.

Followers of Gary Smith can dehypnotize themselves, by looking at the facts of the situation, one step at a time.
Eventually most people can see when they have been scammed and conned.

The website is doing well. It;s finally moving up on search engines.
Thee are some problems with it, but nonetheless, if it starts to move up the list on seacrch engines, that will help find people to come forward.

Please keep visiting htt://sacred-merkaba.info

I agree with Anticult about sticking to the focus. We all know that Gary has been scamming for years. We need people to come forward so,

Another idea might be to go to Yahoo Answers and ask "Have you been ripped off by Gary Smith, or Sacred Merkaba?

A lot of people use that site, and if enough of us start posting that question, we can get someone to come forward. Perhaps lead them to www.sacred-merkaba.info, or at least encourage them to report it.

Like anitcult said, We have to stop Gary before this gets to the. Point where people are selling everything they own.

This thread also pops up on search engines very close to a top match.
It might be a good ideas to start a new thread with a better focused title that will start popping up on serach engines.

The name used "the 144000" is not always associated with Gary Smith.

Maybe we shoulsd start a new thread with the title "Have you been scammed by Sacred Merkaba or Gary Smith.

Gary Smith's official "title" is founder of Sacred Merkaba.

We could post re-post all of Gary's contradictions, and stop copying/pasting long wrtting of his so victims of his don't miss the point.

You are right Anticult, Gary Smith is already teaching his followers that earthly things are not important, my friend has repeated this to me many times - he is getting ready to get his followers to sell everything.

This thread pops up on search engines as a top result, but the search result preview may be offensive to Gary Smith's followers. I think we should start a new thread with a different title, including the words "Sacred Merkaba, Gary Smith Experiences" I'm not 100% on that title, but it should not be condecending. We want Merkaba followers to actually read it, not say "these people are possesed. I'm not clicking that link." We want it to give the sense of genuine concern.

If someone would like to start a new thread to attract current or past victims of Gary Smith, I have an idea that would be a great first post, using Gary's own wordss contradicting himself. I would like this to be included:
And we need to keep this new thread free of condescending words, since it's purpose would be for current Merkaba followers to read. A genuine concern should be the tone.

I'm not very good at this, haven't had much luck with starting threads, so please give me your input on this idea:
------------------------
At [www.the144000.org] you can find these words:
(Gary Smith uses this excerpt from the Bible to try and make a connection that he is NOT a FALSE PROPHET):
“Beware of false prophets. . . Ye shall know them by their fruits. . . a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. . . Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. [To be a true or false prophet]”
- Matthew 7:15-20

Gary Smith adds, "Jesus is remembered both for his wisdom and his ability to HEAL THE SICK. Jesus taught his disciples the ancient Essene ways to heal the sick. Jesus said a true prophet first heals himself, then he teaches others how to heal in the ancient ways.
. . .We have wondrous healing experiences as a result of the work of the 144, who are themselves a “'true prophet's fruits'”,.

***** BAD FRUIT
Have you seen proof that Gary and his healers can heal the sick, or have you only heard stories?
Have you seen proof that Gary's and his healers can cure AIDS, Autism and Cancer?
You may have heard many claims, but not seen any proof?

***** BAD FRUIT
Gary Smith has also provided BAD FRUIT by his failed prophecy of 11/11/11.

The Book of Revelations is full of prophecies, and Gary Smith has attempted and failed to predict one of these prophecies.
Gary Smith speaks of the opening of Seventh (and final) Seal mentioned in the last book of the Bible.
Gary Smith's recording: [www.thetruejesus.org]
In the recording he says:
"On November 11, 2011, planet Earth will enter Comet Elenin's tail, to open the 7th and last Seal mentioned in the Book of Revelations."
And so it is on 11/11/11, energies and pieces of Comet Elenin's tail will begin falling upon planet Earth, as prophesied in the book of Revelations as 'the stars of heaven falling upon the earth.'"
The energetic debris of Comet Elenin's tail will destroy civilizations around the world and begin the time of the tribulations. Thus, we Desposyni, plan to ascend before 11/11/11, for we have trained for 5 hours every weekend for the past five years, to lead those who are ready for a physical body ascension."

There was no destruction on 11/11/11. BAD FRUIT.
------------------------------------------------

There are simple questions that Merkaba members should be asking themselves:
- Why does Gary Smith not allow photographs of himself?
- Why does he disguise his voice?
- Why are you required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before participating in Sacred Merkaba workshops?
- Do you attend Gary Smith's Saturday teleconference?
- If so, are you in a deep state of meditation during this teleconference in where Gary Smith reveals "secrets" that you have signed a contract not to share with others? (See Mind Control and the many ways it can be done)
- Has Gary taught you that earthly things are not important?
- If so, do not be suprised if this man, Gary Smith, who conceals his identity, asks you to sell everything you own before 2012.
- Did Gary Smith discover this endtime date of 12/21/2012 that everyone is talking about?
He did not. We believe that he simply saw it as the perfect opportunity, to make money using 2012 as a fear tactic.
- FEAR (Earthquakes): [www.thetruejesus.org]
- FEAR (Comet Elenin): [www.thetruejesus.org] (Also, proven false)
- FEAR (12/21/2012): [www.the144000.org] (Yet to be seen, but this date was not discovered by Gary Smith)
- FEAR (Sunspots): [www.merkaba.org] (False info. Our sun has entered a period of activity seen many times before. It's called the sunspot sycle and happens every 11 years.) We are right now experiencing a large number of sunspots, because the solar maximum is approaching. The last solar maxium was 11 years ago. Scientists have been tracking sunspots and the solar cycle for so long that right now, we are in the 24th recorded solar cycle. The first solar cycle was recorded when science first discovered the cycle. So this isn't actually the 24th solar cycle, it is the 24th recorded & observed solar cycle.

If you are involved in this group, Sacred Merkaba, or any of Gary Smith's groups, please ask your self these questions. Remember Harold Camping and how many people he victimized.

Azuria,
I believe that you can re-title any page of any existing thread by changing the 'Subject' title above the white message form where you make your main posts.
I have never done this so am having a go with this one. Anticult frequently changes titles in existing threads and I understand it is good for SEO purposes.

Yes, but we need a NEW thread - one with all of this copying and pasting of Gary Smith writtings.
It need's to be aimed towards Merkaba member. In this thread, we approach the subject in attack mode.

We need a NEW thread that has info/contradictions of Gary Smith in a CONCERNED tone.
