Cult leader who claimed to 'channel spirits' of Jesus, Trump and Freddie Mercury gives up the ghost
2023-03-03
[NYPOST] A Japanese cult leader who famously claimed he could channel the spirit of any living or dead person has passed away at the age of 66.

Ryuho Okawa, leader and CEO of the “Happy Science” cult, was rushed to hospital after collapsing in his home on Monday from an apparent “state of cardiac arrest.” He finally passed on Thursday night, and his cause of death remains unconfirmed, according to Fuji TV.
He was channelling Trump and his heart exploded.
Okawa had remained a controversial figure for most of his life, claiming to have received “Messages of God” and to have the ability to channel the spirits of the rich and famous. Okawa would publish books based on what he said the spirits told him.
Nobody ever wants to channel the poor and the obscure. Nuts always think they're Napoleon Bonapart, never Sgt. Arsicaud.
His publications included addresses from the “guardian spirits” of Jesus Christ, former President Trump, Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He described his books as a form of “religious journalism.”
Betcha Putin's turning over in his grave.
Okawa was born in 1956 in a rural area and graduated from the University of Tokyo. He founded the “Happy Science” cult in 1986 after he had an “epiphany” that he could speak with spirits, which told him that his mission was to “lead humanity to happiness.”

#4  He must have crossed the streams. You can’t channel Trump and Freddie Mercury at the same time. No one can do that.

#1  "Ryuho?"

"Freddie...Freddie Mercury...is that you??"

Yes, Ryuho. I have good news and bad news for you."

"Tell me the good news!"

"When you arrive at the afterlife, you will be honored as a holy man of teaching and study. For eternity, you shall have souls worshiping at your feet to seek the wisdom of the gods. The great spirits of history will marvel at your knowledge and insight, and some day your name shall be mentioned in the same breath as Jehovah and Buddha."

"Freddie, that is wonderful! But what is the bad news?"

"You're teaching a seminar tomorrow night at 6."
