Odd Felos - Michael Schiavo’s very strange lawyer.
National Review ^ | Mar 30 2005 | Eric Pfeiffer

Posted on 03/30/2005 8:07:15 AM PST by george wythe

"I wonder what it would be like to die right now?"

Many of us have asked ourselves this question and Michael Schiavo attorney George Felos is no exception. Unlike most, however, Felos has a story to go along with it.

In his 2002 book Litigation as Spiritual Practice, Felos expresses his belief in the "cosmic law of cause and effect," in which the human mind is not limited by the constraints of reality. More specifically, if one wants a new car, one could make this dream car manifest "out of the ether."

Felos claims to have used his mental powers to cause a plane he was passenger on to nearly crash. By simply asking himself, "I wonder what it would be like to die right now?" the plane's autopilot program mysteriously ceased to function and the plane descended into free fall. Felos then observed, "At that instant a clear, distinctly independent and slightly stern voice said to me, 'Be careful what you think. You are more powerful than you realize.' In quick succession I was startled, humbled and blessed by God's admonishment."

It seems that Felos subscribes to a belief system similar to the Word-Faith movement of TV preachers:

Jesus told Kenneth Hagin to get a pencil and a piece of paper. He then instructed him to "Write down: 1,2,3,4." Jesus then allegedly told Hagin "if anybody, anywhere, will take these four steps or put these four principles into operation, he will always receive whatever he wants from Me or from God the Father." That includes whatever you want financially.

The formula is simply: "Say it, Do it, Receive it, and Tell it."

Kenneth Copeland states the faith formula this way: "All it takes is
1) Seeing or visualizing whatever you need, whether physical or financial;
2) Staking your claim on Scripture; and
3) Speaking it into existence" (Christianity in Crisis, p. 80).

Paul Yonggi Cho, borrowing from the occult, has developed what he calls the "Law of Incubation." Here is how it works: "First make a clear-cut goal, then draw a mental picture, vivid and graphic, to visualize success. Then incubate it into reality, and finally speak it into existence through the creative power of the spoken word" (Christianity in Crisis, pp. 83-84).

Felos did not respond to NRO's request for a transcendent, cosmic-vibe chat

This is pretty funny, notwithstanding the not so funny stuff the article reveals about Felos.

This is the video that should be shown on the news everynight - it is even more powerful than the balloon video.

This is not reflex action - she heard the doctor, she opened her eyes as wide as she could to impress him.

Even Fox news has ignored this clip.

Felos seems to be as strange as from of the Schindlers' legal eagles.

Felos says when he was alone with Browning they shared a "soul touch" in which their spirits left their respective bodies and spoke to each other. It was in this encounter that Browning "told" Felos she wanted to die.
It reminds of the the eleventh hour allegation from one of the Schindlers' attorneys.

Having watched a Felos news conference in its entirety by live feed, I am not surprised that he hears voices telling him how powerfuln he is. Felos is a very angry, arrogant individual.

He talks about is impudence in his book. Apparently he also talks about wanting to beat up and rip his ex-wife to pieces on pg 23.

Just like John Edwards "hearing" the voice of the unborn baby during one of his legal hearings. Give me a break.

There's nothing wrong with Felos that an exorcism couldn't cure.

I thought he was working as a witch, the lawyer that is, he hears voices and has contact with the soul of other people. If any of us said that we would be put in state custody.

He's the devils legal representative.

He's pure evil.

The only problem is that he isn't the one on trial.

Michael couldn't have found better representation. They are evil soul mates.

I had the same thought when I first starting hearing of Felos' bizarre rantings.

How anyone can take this loon seriously is beyond me.
