But this 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: isn't a normal spiritual gathering. An invasive medical procedure is 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: about to take place. This homemade video is focused on 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: a man who's standing on a small stage. He's also 11 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: dressed in white, with people huddled around him. He's in 12 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: his late sixties, with thinning brown hair and a stocky build. 13 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: There's a point where you can see his demeanor change. 14 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: His blue eyes row wide and his movements get slower. 15 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: He's no longer himself. 16 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: John, He tells the crowd. 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: He's now channeling the spirit of a well known doctor 18 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: who died in the nineteen forties. The man who I'll 19 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: call the doctor. At a certain point turns to three 20 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: people behind him on stage. 21 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: They're holding metal trays. 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: And seem to be his assistance. Right next to them, 23 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: there's this one guy who sticks out. 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: He's standing stiff as a board up against. 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: The back wall with his eyes closed tight, as if 26 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: he's bracing himself for something. The doctor reaches into one 27 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: of the trays with his bare hand and picks up 28 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: a long pair. 29 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 3: Of surgical scissors. 30 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: He uses them to grab a piece of gauze and 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: dips it in water. He then goes up to his patient, 32 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: the guy standing against the wall with his eyes closed. 33 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: What happens next is as bizarre as it is disturbing. 34 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: The doctor tells his patient to open his eyes and 35 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: tilts his head back with his hand. He then shoves 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: the scissors all the way up his patient's nose and 37 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: starts twisting them like he's unscrewing the top off a bottle, Twisting, twisting, twisting, 38 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: sliding the scissors deeper as he continues to twist. All 39 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: this time, the patient is grimacing, mouth wide open, but 40 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: he's not making a sound. 41 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: Then, all of a sudden. 42 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: The doctor pulls the scissors out of the patient's nose, 43 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: letting out a tiny stream of blood. The patient is 44 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: placed in a metal wheelchair, and as he's whisked away, 45 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: you see a smile spread across his face. The video 46 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: you just heard is from two thousand and nine, but 47 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: there are countless more online recorded over the span of decades. 48 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: They feature similar procedures, all performed by the same man, 49 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: the renowned spiritual healer Choau Dedos John of God. 50 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 4: A man who claims to work miracles and heal the sick. 51 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 5: He says he's a faith healer and people from all 52 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 5: over the world flocked to see him. 53 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 6: He had healed the wives of ministers, presidents and politicians, 54 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 6: and honors of big companies, and they. 55 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Were Even Oprah has gone to see him. 56 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: Over the past four decades, John of God says he's 57 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: treated millions of people. 58 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: John of God claims to be a medium capable of 59 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: channeling spirits with tremendous powers, powers that can heal cancer 60 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: and help people walk again.

Faith. 84 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: My name is Martina Castro. I've been an audio journalist 85 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: for twenty years, and while reporting this story, I've meditated 86 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: a lot on that word faith and on its power. 87 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: I'd say I'm a spiritual person. I'm both skeptical of 88 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: anything that sounds too good to be true and I 89 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: like to leave room for the unexplainable. If I were 90 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: desperate to heal myself or someone I love, I can 91 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: absolutely imagine myself getting on an airplane to the middle 92 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: of nowhere to find a miracle cure. But what this 93 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: story has gotten me to wonder is not about what 94 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: gets us to have faith in a given thing or 95 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: a given person, but how long are we willing to 96 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: hold and keep that faith even when we can feel 97 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: something is not right. 98 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 4: I simply thought that Juan's work was spiritual when I 99 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 4: first went there. I had no idea that there was 100 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 4: a secret behind all of this. 101 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: Over the course of this series, you'll learn how John 102 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: of God became a celebrated healer at the center of 103 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: an international movement, all while behind the scenes, dark secrets 104 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: started to come out. Intimidation. 105 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 7: He would always say, what you think, they'll believe me 106 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 7: or you or he will. 107 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: See fraud, sexual abuse, and mysterious deaths. 108 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 8: It's very difficult and it's very also lonely. One small 109 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 8: person gainst God. 110 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: From Exactly Right Media and Adonde Media, this is two 111 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: faced John of God Episode one, The Last Hope O lad. 112 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 7: Oh Father. 113 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: This is me speaking broken Portuguese with a woman named Annaboula. 114 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: Despite our language barrier and spotty zoom connection, Annaboula immediately 115 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: came across as vivacious, warm and confident, she asked we 116 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: only use her first name to protect her family. An 117 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: Abaula ended up seeing John of God out of desperation, 118 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: but not for herself, for her father. Around two thousand 119 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: and six, Anaballa's father was diagnosed with late stage brain cancer. 120 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: After many surgeries, doctors said there was nothing else they 121 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: could do for him. He was in a wheelchair and 122 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: a lot of pain. He couldn't even swallow. So Anna 123 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: Paula turned to their faith as a last hope. 124 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 7: It was thank you for spiritA. 125 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: I've always been a spirituist my entire life. I was 126 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: born in a spiritist home, and I grew up with 127 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: relatives performing spiritual surgeries healing. 128 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: According to Annabaula's beliefs, spirits are non physical beings that 129 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: can interact with us. 130 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: It just so. 131 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: Happens that Brazil is said to have the largest concentration 132 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: of spiritists in the world. And it was this spiritual 133 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: community that first introduced Anapaula to John of God. 134 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: People said very little about John of God, but always 135 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: with a lot of a lot of respect and the 136 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: certainty of a cure or some spiritual healing. So I 137 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: remember he had written some books and I bought them 138 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: from father. 139 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: In one of those books, an Aballa's father read about 140 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: a man whom John of God cured, a man who 141 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: had brain cancer. 142 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: When my father read that, he said, I want to 143 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: be Joan of God's next miracle by jakabad All. My 144 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: father had just become a grandfather and he wanted to 145 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: see his grandson grow up. He formed Abaijan, and so 146 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: we went to a Badiana. 147 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: Abadiana that's the small rural town in the middle of 148 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: Brazil where John of God founded what he calls his 149 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: spiritual Hospital. Abadiena has about seventeen thousand residents, and it's 150 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: an hour and a half drive from. 151 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: The country's capital, Brasilia. 152 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: Many describe it as a town you drive through to 153 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: get somewhere else. A major highway cuts it in half, 154 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: with most of the residents and local businesses on one 155 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: side and the spiritual hospital, or the Gasa on the other. 156 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: The GASA is short for Casa the Dominacio de Loyola, 157 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: or House of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Anna Baula's inability 158 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: to heal her father through traditional medicine is what led 159 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: her to this place, along with thousands of. 160 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: Others, people in desperate situations. They were dying and they 161 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 4: had irrevocably fatal diseases. 162 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: Then there were people like Michael Baylot. He first visited 163 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: the GASA from the US because his girlfriend at the 164 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: time was very sick. Doctors were not able to help her, 165 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: so they traveled to Brazil to see healers that Michael 166 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: had read about, and they ended up at the CASA. 167 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: That's when Michael felt like he witnessed something really incredible happening. 168 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 7: There. 169 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: He met people who said John of God cured their 170 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: cancer after treatment. Some people were able to walk again 171 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: after years of being in wheelchairs. Some people said their 172 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: tumors disappeared. 173 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 4: This is real. This guy's actually doing surgery and it's 174 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 4: a miracle. I never believe that miracles were real until 175 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 4: that point. 176 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: So Michael decides to stay and live in Abadianya. 177 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: When I arrived there, I had been going through about 178 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 4: a five year period in my life where I was 179 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 4: having a big spiritual awakening. So my frame of mind 180 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 4: when I arrived there was very positive and very open, 181 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 4: and I was very altruistic also, so this situation looked like, 182 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 4: my God, this is there's nobody else in the world 183 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 4: that's ever done this, and I want to be a 184 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 4: part of it. I want to help people. Look at 185 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 4: all the people. He's helped millions of people, and he 186 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 4: did it for free, so it just sounded really enticing. 187 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: Soon after moving to Abadianya, Michael became a tour guide 188 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: to help other people from the US travel. 189 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 4: There many people that went there and said, I have 190 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: stage four cancer and it's Mostaticizing him in agony every 191 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 4: day helped me. I had several clients like that. 192 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: But then there was this other group of people. 193 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 4: About a third of the people that came, or a 194 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 4: quarter of them, they were just spiritual tourists. They'd heard 195 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 4: about this guy and they wanted to have an experience. 196 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 4: So a lot of people would go there and just say, 197 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 4: can you help me on my spiritual path? 198 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: So in this middle of nowhere town, in the middle 199 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: of Brazil, you had these various groups of people coming together, 200 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: people who were really sick and desperate for a cure, 201 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: volunteers and spiritual tourists who wanted to be part of 202 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: this experience, and tour guides like Michael, who were helping 203 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: both of those groups travel to Abadiana and navigate the 204 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: culture the language and the town. They came together around 205 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: John of God's mission to bring spiritual healing to thousands 206 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: of people from around the world. 207 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 4: I felt I was part of a very, a big, 208 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 4: miraculous event that was going to change the world. 209 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: The experience at the Gasa takes place three days a week. 210 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: It begins when you set foot in the town, and 211 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: Abaula says, from the moment you get there, it's impossible 212 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: not to get drawn in. 213 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 7: Oh clear, mylee. 214 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: The vibe there was just a wonderful vibe. I used 215 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: to say that it was a little piece of heaven 216 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: on the earth. 217 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: First of all, imagine that around seven am you start 218 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: to see tour buses arrive and hundreds of people start 219 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: to fill the streets, all walking toward the Gasa. 220 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 6: Everyone there was wearing white, so white pants, whatshirts, wat dresses, 221 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 6: the whole town. 222 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: That's Tim Elliott, a journalist from Australia. He went to 223 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: Abadiena in two thousand and four. He says, in addition 224 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: to wearing white, you'd see some people walking barefoot. These 225 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: things were encouraged by John of God so that you 226 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: could free up your energy to the spirits and to 227 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: also absorb their healing more easily. 228 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 6: And people are blissed out. Yeah, Like they're pretty they're 229 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 6: pretty stoked to be they're pretty happy to be walking 230 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 6: around in his presence, you know, and about to see him. 231 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Tim admits he went to Abadianya feeling very skeptical about 232 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: John of God. 233 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 6: So I thought it's going to be rubbish, right, But 234 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 6: then when you get there and you have literally thousands 235 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 6: of people in white milling around and everyone tells you 236 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 6: how they've been saved by this person. After a while, 237 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 6: I was like, well, can all these people be wrong? 238 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 6: Like is it possible? Like maybe maybe they're right, maybe 239 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 6: they have been saved. And they're all like, I'll show 240 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 6: you my medical papers, I'll show you my x rays, 241 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 6: all that sort of stuff. 242 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: The first person Tim met at the GASA was actually 243 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: one of those people who claimed it to have been cured. 244 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: She was also from Australia. 245 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 6: And she had gone there because who she had. I think. 246 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 6: She said she had some degenerated disease in her back 247 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 6: and so she was finding it really hard to walk. 248 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 6: And she swore to me that she, you know, she 249 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 6: was made better, and that she could throw her cane 250 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 6: away and she basically regarded it as a miracle, what 251 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 6: had happened as a miracle, and said to me, oh, 252 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 6: he is pure love, you know. He he that's what 253 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 6: he is. The power he radiates is like something from 254 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 6: out of space. It's unbelievable. 255 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 7: Eli representa pilar. 256 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 9: He represented a pillar of a labor of love by 257 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 9: hundreds of thousands of people in Jimidia. 258 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 7: Jupe Sauce. 259 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: Marcellos Toduto first arrived at the Casa back in nineteen 260 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: ninety eight, much like the woman Tim just described, to 261 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: seek treatment for an illness. In Marcello's case, it was 262 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: to treat his scoliosis, but Marcello had another reason. He 263 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: wanted to meet Juau, John of God. He was very 264 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: interested in houning him his own spiritual gifts. Marcelo ended 265 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: up staying at the Gasa to work side by side 266 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: with Joau as a medium himself, and ended up being 267 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: part of his community for almost two decades. 268 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, vioma siste macha sagarti. 269 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: He says. 270 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: The routine at the GASA on visiting days was pretty 271 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: much the same over the years. People would congregate in 272 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: a big central hall that resembles an open air church. 273 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: Where each person is given a number. Depending on whether 274 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: your first timer coming for a follow up visit or 275 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: requesting a physical surgery like the scissors up the nose, 276 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: you're called to a different line. The day starts with 277 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: some announcements, then everyone recites a series of Christian prayers, 278 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: sometimes in three or four different languages. Marcelo says, once 279 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: people are told to line up, there are three main 280 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: rooms where the treatment takes place. 281 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 5: A primeda sala. So the first room was the large 282 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 5: center room in Tokxicador. There was where with the talk 283 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 5: to find the pain and dancer energies that everyone brought 284 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 5: to that space. 285 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: In this first room, everyone sits and prays or meditates. 286 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: Mediums are also sitting in this room meditating, mixed in 287 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: with people who are waiting to see John of God. 288 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: The goal is to clean everyone's energies so that by 289 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: the time people see Joao it will be easier for 290 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: him to diagnose and treat them. 291 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 7: In Talla ra komosi FOSSi. 292 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 5: So it was if we were going to compare it 293 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 5: with a cart. 294 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 9: The idea was like a car. Was the person goes 295 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 9: through the first room and receives a heavier cleaning. 296 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: The music and noises you hear in the background are 297 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: from a homemade video that was filmed in the second 298 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: room at the Casa. This is where you actually line 299 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: up to see John of God. Tim Elliott, the journalist, 300 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: stood in that line. 301 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 6: There's a massive queue, like I'm talking, a huge queue 302 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 6: that sort of snakes around the whole compound, leads into 303 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 6: this private room that he has he sometimes occupies, and 304 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 6: you walk along, you shuffle along. He sits at the 305 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 6: head of this room, surrounded by crystals and followers who 306 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 6: sort of usher people toward him as you're walking there. 307 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: All the while, hundreds of people are sitting on either 308 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: side of you meditating. 309 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 6: And they're meant to be sort of harnessing this huge 310 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 6: spiritual energy that it's kind of like spiritual base load 311 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 6: power that you know, Ja'o can then tap into to 312 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 6: perform these incredible, you know, these miraculous deeds that he 313 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 6: pulls off. So you walk through this room and you 314 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 6: can feel you can feel, you know, if you have 315 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 6: hundreds of people meditating in one room, there is an 316 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 6: energy that comes out of that. There's no doubt about that. 317 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 6: So by the time you meet him, acceptible and primed 318 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 6: for something, to believe that someone has power. Right. 319 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes I would walk in that chain of prayers on 320 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 2: that line, and it seemed like I was just in 321 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 2: the scene. Do you know when you're walking through calm 322 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: waves in the scene, I felt like I was walking 323 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: in the middle of the waves. It was a very 324 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: good thing. It was a very good feeling. 325 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: It was peace, had all my. 326 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: Delicious aramas, fresh air, very pleasant music and meditation music 327 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: like calm religious music. So it was like it really 328 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: was a little piece of heaven. 329 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 4: The cell. 330 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: And all of this is happening before you've even talked 331 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: to John of God. It's designed to be this way because, 332 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: according to John of God and other spiritist leaders, your 333 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: illness is essentially a manifestation of problems with your energy. 334 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: So as a medium, Marcello says he doesn't treat the illness, 335 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: he treats what causes the illness. 336 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 9: Four que nontra biog Because in a healing work, when 337 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 9: it's in fact a spiritual healing work, the idea is 338 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 9: not to make people get cured of all their physical ills. 339 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 9: The idea is to make people come out profoundly more 340 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 9: aware of themselves, more spiritualized, and transformed in their way 341 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 9: of being, feeling, enacting with each other. And this activates 342 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 9: the mechanisms of the person's immune, physical, and spiritual system 343 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 9: to see the healing process and perhaps eliminate physical illness. 344 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 7: Belinda physic. 345 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 1: It can take hours to get through the line that 346 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: Tim and Anambaula and all the first time visitors have 347 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: to stand in before they get their moment with John 348 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: of God. But Tim says, you can see him while 349 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: you're waiting. 350 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 6: He didn't say a lot. He was a big guy physically, 351 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 6: a big guy, so he had a presence. 352 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: Finally Tim got to the front of the line and 353 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: it was his turn to meet Joao for the first time. 354 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 6: So I got to the head of the room and 355 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 6: I think I took his hand briefly, and his eyes 356 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 6: rolled back into his head and his hand fluttered. 357 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: So at this point, John of God is channeling a 358 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: spirit or entity as they're also called as a medium. 359 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: His gift is to be able to embody these spirits 360 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 1: that diagnose and treat people through him. So technically, in 361 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: that moment, he isn't himself, he is the entity. 362 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 6: And then you're usher on your way and right literally 363 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 6: you made him for it would have been I don't know, 364 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 6: ten seconds max. 365 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: So in those ten thirty seconds, he might send you 366 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: to meditate or to take a bath in a waterfall 367 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: they had on the property. He might send you to 368 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: the third room. That's where John of God conducts invisible 369 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: surgeries on a large group of people at the same time, 370 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: without ever touching them. If you wanted a physical surgery, 371 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: you had to request one when you arrived, and they 372 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: happened in the middle of the day. But more commonly, 373 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: John of God would scribble down a prescription for you 374 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: on a piece of paper, telling you how many bottles 375 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: of blessed water or passion flower herbs to buy at 376 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: a shop on the property. All the pills were the same, 377 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: but they were said to be blessed by the spirits 378 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: to treat your specific problem. And that's how it goes 379 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: person after person. But when Annabaula meets John of God 380 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: for the first time, it goes a little differently. 381 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: To die into imagine that we would pass by the 382 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 2: entity and the medium would give me crystals, give me 383 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 2: ken those, give me presents and roses. 384 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: Again, when Annapaulla says the entity she's referring to John 385 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: of God when he's in a trance. When she calls 386 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: him the medium, that's when he's himself and not channeling 387 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: a spirit. She thinks that she and her father were 388 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: treated differently from the moment they arrived in Abadianya. Because 389 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: her father was a well known and respected lawyer, she 390 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: could tell people were going above and beyond to make 391 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: them feel comfortable. An Abaula and her father saw John 392 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: of God many times that year, and her father actually 393 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: started to get better. He was able to swallow again, 394 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: and with the help of physical therapists, he even started 395 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: taking a few steps after being confined for many months 396 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: to a wheelchair. So she and her father decided to 397 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: move to Abadianya full time for a few months. 398 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 2: No, several times I visited John of God and he 399 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 2: would congratulate me on my father. He would ask me 400 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: to go to his office, and I'll always go either 401 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: with my father's assistant or with my father, But I 402 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: never went alone. 403 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: Until one day Annapolla ended up at the casa by herself. 404 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: She sat down in the meditation room as usual to pray, 405 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: and she took off her shoes as recommended by the 406 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: community there. 407 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: So I was there barefoot, with my feet on the ground, 408 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: feeling all that energy, the energy of the place, with 409 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: my eyes closed, and I felt a hand on my shoulder. 410 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 2: When I opened my eyes, it was John of God, 411 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: and he called me to come to his office. I've 412 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 2: been to his office several times, never alone. He would 413 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: even close the door, but this time I went alone, 414 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: and as soon as I entered, not only he closed it, 415 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: but he locked it. 416 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 3: With a key. Nathan Molt. 417 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: At that moment, I felt bad. He said that he 418 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 2: was going to do healing work for my father. 419 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: An Abaula felt uncomfortable. Something was not right, but she 420 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: also wanted to believe what he told her, that this 421 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: was a special spiritual treatment to heal her father. So 422 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: she did as she was told. But what would happen 423 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: in that room that day was far from the kind 424 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: of spiritual experience she had hoped for. 425 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: Not mad, no doctor, neurologist, neurosurgeon, no one said they 426 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: could cure my father. But he said, I'm going to 427 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 2: cure your father. 428 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: You don't get it. 429 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: This is a healing treatment and it's your energy. Yes, 430 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: and you represent your father, and I believed it. 431 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: How did this happen? How did you gain an almost 432 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: blind trust from his followers. In the next episode, we 433 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: learned how Joel they shared the Faiah, became Joel de 434 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: Dell's John of God, this almost mythical leader of extreme 435 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: power and influence. 436 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 7: It is simply demonst true. 437 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 9: He has always been very pleased to be the greatest 438 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 9: healing in the world. 439 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 7: Least i espress vida. 440 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 9: Vanity is expressed there. 441 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 8: So very quickly they learned that they had to protect 442 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 8: him and protect the possibility of him to cure people, 443 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 8: you know, to run the business. It's a business, and 444 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 8: everyone around him knew that they were part of the business. 445 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: And then there was a moment that was the crowning 446 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 2: of the expansion of the movement. 447 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 7: Of course, when Oprah Winfrey went. 448 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: To Two Faced John of God on the iHeartRadio app, 449 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts or wherever. 450 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 3: You get your podcasts. 451 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: There you can also find this show en Espanol just 452 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: look for dos Garas Juan de Dios.
