Abandoned Mind.. (7).. CNN .. Mystery Man

~~

Those were the facts surrounding the mysterious doctor. My fiance is now my wife, pregnant with our first child. She has never been to St. Anthony's Hospital, nor as far south as Missouri. During the few days that I have mentioned, she was waiting at her condo in Boston and wondering why I wasn't checking in with her.

This afternoon as I was watching the Nets and Pistons, I surfed to CNN during a commercial and was shocked speechless by the following simulcast:

" Professor Ravi Sivakumar, the regression therapist, had a large attendance last evening at the Parker Meridian's grand ballroom on W. 57th street. He has agreed to another performance in downtown Manhatten tonight. In the audience were the most powerful members of the senate, social elite, members of the UN and the trilateral commision on finance affairs.

" Reporters excepted, the professor hypnotized the entire audience making them feel extraordinary illusions. Part of the lecture described the use of suggestion to make a person 'see' what was wanted. The professor went on to say that the most skilled of these magicians could perform miracles by throwing the intended into a certain state and then telling them what to see and hear.

The highly suggestive persons could be kept in what he described as the 'Abandoned Mind' state for weeks, months or even years, entirely subjected by the fantasies and intrigue of the manipulator.

" This reporter finds the entire subject a touch unsettling.. Heidi, back to you."

" That was CNN's Kelly Wallace reporting live from downtown New York."

I reached for the remote, pounding at the recall button to switch it back to the game.
