This retreat centre ignored some very serious concerns around fire and loss of life. A Spiritual Teacher in Portugal with prophetic awareness, foresaw the June 2017 fire and loss of 64 lives in tragic circumstances.

He also warned several retreat centres in Portugal about the dangers of dabbling in Ayahuasca (Monte Mariposa have hosted Ayahuasca Ceremonies in Portugal in the past) without ethical and moral training, after having another vision of a fire, which he reported to the police.

The Spiritual Teacher was also threatened with death after another retreat centre in Portugal was raided and they thought he busted them. He then reasonably believed there was a karmic curse on the loose, for days after he was insulted and threatened over a Euro 100, 000 legal bill by the one who threatened to kill him, Gravito Retreat Centre burned down in a fire and posted a Euro 100, 000 loss.

The Spiritual Teacher emailed a warning of a vision of fire and deaths to all retreat centres, as a warning to heed and take notice of and sent the police because of concerns around loss of life.

It read:-

Good Day

As you know from some of my other testimonies, I have a prophetic awareness and I often foresee the future in dreams or visions. 95% of the time my prophecies come true, although predicting the timing is often difficult.

I did have a foreknowledge of the fire on June 18th 2017, the day before on June 17th, I sensed a big fire with fatalities would happen, even before I heard about the deaths on the news. In my earlier life I have also foreseen plane crashes and similar, and then they happen as seen, so it is nothing unusual for me.

However, around 9pm last night (July 16th 2017) I was suddenly overcome with visions of intense fire. I had not drunk any Ayahuasca. I then had visions of shouting and screaming, and when I went to sleep, I was plagued throughout the whole night with very strong visions of fire. It was very serious indeed.

I saw some people trapped inside a burning structure in the visions, and straight away, I knew it was connected with an Ayahuasca ceremony somewhere in Portugal. I do not know where. Toward the end of the night the visions of fire were replaced by visions of a charcoaled structure. There were dead bodies in there and in the vision the police were covering up bodies with white sheets in daylight amongst smoke and ruins.

In the vision there were 3 or 4 people who died and my God told me to take the matter very seriously and to inform the police.

It was clear it was the aftermath of an Ayahuasca ceremony and some people had been caught out whilst sleeping and unable to escape the structure.

They had been drinking Ayahuasca somewhere and the fire caught them without warning. I do not know if it was a wildfire, or lightening strike, or a human caused fire, but the spiritual cause is because many people in Portugal drink the Ayahuasca tea and dabble with astral energies they do not know how to respect.

Many times in writing I warn them that to drink the Ayahuasca and have thoughts of death toward me is very dangerous and may cause disasters or 'Acts of God'.

But they do not listen, and it seems that serious karma may come without warning.

I also foresaw fire in two retreat centres, but some do not believe me, to their detriment.

Also because I, a Spiritual Teacher was threatened with death, it causes Acts of God because nature spirits, devas and other astral beings are angered by the fact I was threatened with death and because some of those involved, will not stop drinking the Ayahuasca and thus they put themselves or others in extreme danger.

I believe there is a karmic curse on the loose in Portugal that can strike any retreat centre without warning and each time those who want me dead continue to drink the Ayahuasca tea, the risk of disaster becomes very high indeed. I warn them but they do not stop and so maybe God intervenes to stop them.

It is metaphysically possible for those who continue to drink the Ayahuasca, who have thoughts of me being killed, or to try and invoke astral curses or spells, to manifest themselves an unfortunate scenario and this probably explains the vision. It is their intentions backfiring on themselves.

Like I said, I do not know where it will happen, but there are secret Ayahuasca ceremonies in Portugal in various places.

When I foresee loss of life, it is better I write it down.

If it turns out I am wrong, which is unlikely, no harm is done, but if I was right, at least there would be proof I foresaw the future.

If I were the police, I would simply take all the Ayahuasca tea away from everyone that has it, but then that is just an opinion.

Maybe the disaster cannot be stopped anyway and has to happen.

At least the written record shows that these people were warned not to abuse the Ayahuasca and told of the dangers of abusing it. If they do not listen, and people continue, and people die as a result of their foolishness, then clearly, the fault is with them and their leaders.

Dear All,

Anyone hosting, leading or attending any Ayahuasca ceremony in Portugal should take very serious notice of the below prophecy, for last night, I foresaw fire and loss of life, and the last time I foresaw that, it happened the very next day (64 dead and a retreat centre burned down).

It would be wise to thus take my prophecy very seriously indeed.

Many of you will now know that there is a 'karmic curse' on the loose in Portugal, triggered by those who think they can drink Ayahuasca whilst harboring thoughts to harm or kill a Spiritual Teacher.

In this matter, further disaster, is inevitable and such intentions are extremely dangerous, with the potential effects far reaching.

For clarity, having nothing to do with threatening to kill me or having no connection with those involved, gives no immunity to disaster.

Karmic curses can 'jump' and impact any retreat centre or private Ayahuasca group in Portugal, with little or no warning.

This is what happens when members of your communities, groups or retreat centres are able to spawn amateur Ayahuasca operations, with little ethical or moral guidance, and without the presence of trained shamans, and then lose their way with the use of the sacrament.

Once one tries to control astral forces that one has little understanding of, and couples that with the intention to kill, harm, cast spells or similar, backed up by involvement in criminality, drunkenness, violence and similar - trouble is inevitable.

The safest course of action is clearly to cease the use of Ayahuasca immediately in your setting.

Those who ignore the warning, clearly do so at their own risk (and at the risk of others).

The response from Monte Mariposa was instead of taking the warning seriously, was to insult and say (to quote their office):-

Monte Mariposa
12:57 PM (15 minutes ago)

to me
Hope is not you setting the fires! maybe should also warn the police!
f***** crazy!

Please stop writing this absurd email

we have nothing to do with that story, we just simple people living simple life!

Monte Mariposa formally apologized in an apology letter, the wording included:- We unconditionally and unreservedly apologize for implying that you started the fires in Portugal, that killed 64 people, in June 2017. We used the F word in an email to you, and as employees of a spiritual retreat centre, we accept that insulting a Spiritual M... in this way is tasteless and disrespectful, and for that, we apologize. We also said you had personal problems (implying it was for that reason, you had been threatened with violence or death) and we take back those words also. We then deleted the emails so that the owner would not see the insults. Our response and comments were unprofessional, and for that, we take full responsibility.

A legal comment in this controversy regarding the foretold fires and the comments on this post.

In July 2017 Freedman was advised to cease all ayahuasca in Portugal because I kept foretelling fires. Freedman chose to defy the warning of his own accord and his response was inciting the posting of defamation, harassment and threats, on this website and elsewhere, now removed.

The posters were the facilitators of Earth Connection Portugal and Sanctuary 1860 and when told to stop it (and warned of the fires) they continued, despite being warned the divine powers would close their work.

Freedman then arranged a work with Ayahuasca at Monte Mariposa for October 2017 and before, and during the work, I foretold the fires for which there is much documentary and written evidence.

He was inciting the facilitators of Earth Connection Portugal and Sanctuary 1860 to keep posting harassment and threats.

After Freedman's work in October 2017 at Monte Mariposa (on the dates of October 13th and 14th 2017 going into the early hours of the 15th) on October 15th 2017 a catastrophic (and foretold) fire bearing the hallmarks of divine retribution - totally destroyed Earth Connection Portugal and Sanctuary 1860.
