This Friday Brussels Special Research Brigade of Gendarmerie proceeded with auditioning of Mr. Dang, guru of "Universal Energy" sect.
It all started with intercepting Internet messages sent to the adepts of this originally Vietnamese Universal Energy sect inviting them to reincarnate in the fourth dimension before the 29th of January 1999 to get the chance of "reincarnating" before the coming of August the 11th. The date when "Energy flow will be reversed"? The end of the world? As nothing could exclude collective suicide, Belgian authorities suspected that a large-scale fraud was being committed: Universal Energy guru, alias Mr. Minh Dang Luong, alias Dasira Narada III, alias "Master Dang" pressured his followers in order to sell them his four levels against hard coins of the realm... What could the announcement made around the time of his presence on the Belgian territory mean?
The man is accustomed to declaring these type of warnings: in 1991, he announced an International catastrophe due to happen on the 22nd of October, and recommended to make reserves of drinking water treated with sea salt, whitewash and fine sand. As for bathes, those were to be taken with adding potassium alum...
By the way, Mr. Dang is not someone unknown hereabouts: he has already been in the very centre of Brussels attention in 1994 when «healing» magnetism of his hands gathered over a thousand of followers who agreed to pay 6000 Belgian francs (148,74 €) to meet him. His Belgian group located at rue Vilain XIIII in Brussels has since developed quite well, and new centres recently opened at Coxyde and Turnhout. In France, to compare, he already has over 80 centres.
OVER 800 ADEPTS IN GENVAL
Over 800 Belgian adepts gathered to follow his courses at Château du Lac hotel in Genval when Mr. Dang landed in Belgium this week, with nearby hotels fully booked to host them. Genval teachings were to be completed coming Tuesday, when Mr. Dang was to fly to another success, namely Geneva, where 5000 to 7000 people were expected on January 15th and 16th.
One should also consider a formal complaint filed by Belgian grand-parents concerned with development of their offspring: parents of their few months old grand-daughter suffering of a probably deadly muscular atrophy couldn't find other treatment than entrusting Mr. Dang to open her chakras (Mr. Dang is known to recommend even treating AIDS by laying of hands on Chakras 2, 3 and 7...). Complaining grand-parents state that the only reasonable though limited hope to save their grand-child is to let her be treated by traditional medical community.
Alarmed, Brussels Special Research Brigade of Gendarmerie (anti-terrorism unit) decided to proceed with discrete questioning of Mr. Dang this Friday evening within a simple judiciary information procedure to clarify the matter of illegal exercise of medicine, i.e. fraud-related practices. In any case, this will let Mr. Dang preaching a soon end of the world know that the stars of 1999 could also predict the end of his Belgian activities.
