"Dear Mr. Perez,

"Thank you very much for your quick response.

"Attached is a picture of my mom and dad taken in their house at the farm. 

"I do apologize for not being precise on my earlier message.  My mother has not awaken since Tuesday.  She has been sleeping.. Although this has happened before, it is very different this time.  She really looks very different...  

"We have been in the hospital for the last 3 months going in and out of the ICU and no definite diagnosis from Doctors on what is wrong with mom.  We consulted a mangagamot here and was told that na kulam daw si mom.  They did some prayers and oration and mom woke up.  She was feeling better then all of a sudden 3 days ago she slept and has not awaken since.  I again consulted the mangagamot and she borrowed mom's used hospital gown and did some procedure not sure what's its called in tagalog but in ______ its '__________'.  What came out was a hole.  I also consulted with another friend who was gifted as well and he told me he cannot feel that mom is medically sick. he however told me that seems there is a powerful entity who is getting her.  

"We have actually spent so much already and is still continuing.  Apart from hospital bills, our other payables are also piling up forcing us to get what is buried in the farm.  The family of the mangagamot volunteered to help us retrieve the treasure buried in the farm since accordingly she felt it.  Recently, they were able to find the tunnel door and that was the time that mom did not wake up. According to the mangagamot, in a dream she was asked by an entity to chose between my mother or brother who had cerebral palsy. She said she told the entity she will allow them to take anyone.  I am not sure though if the entity listened to her. 

"I know we do not have much time.  Please let me know if there is something we can still do.  If it is ok may I call you? My number is_____________/_____________.. Please let me know sir if it is ok since I am at the hospital most of the time and do not have access to the internet. 

"Please let me know sir. 

"Thank you very much.

"Sincerely,

"____________"


My reply:

Hello ____________,

You can do the _______________ and the ____________ that I previously prescribed even if your mom is asleep or not conscious. DO NOT TELL ANYONE THAT YOU CONSULTED ME. Too many magicians spoil the broth. My reading of your mother is that she is very vulnerable, and her psyche may be acting on suggestions implanted in her thoughts during apparently casual conversations.

I do not believe in treasure hunting. It is psychologically convoluted, it is over-the-edge, and it is a classic example of how uneducated practitioners easily give in to schizophrenic fugues. At the last minute the hunters will be asked for blood, and there will be ugly fights motivated by greed that usually culminate in murder. I have seen it all--I can even see that your frenzied rush is not really to save your mother's life but to get to this "treasure" as soon as possible. In the end, there will be no treasure after all, and everyone will feel like a fool. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, no entity in this world is authorized by God or the universe to ask for someone's life in exchange for something material. It is sheer, rural paranoia. It assumes that spirits other than angels are higher than human beings, and this is untrue. You will eventually feel guilty not only about your mother but about giving in to such a senseless hunt.

Please believe me. THERE IS NO TREASURE OTHER THAN THE GOODNESS OF GOD INSIDE YOUR HEARTS.
