well when we were posted in Rawalpindi, one of my Mom's colleague had some family troubles (usual desi jhagray) i guess.
Well she consulted some spirtual healer, he asked her to bring a small innocent boy..
that auntie asked for my Mom's permission to take me to that Baba ji, (i was eleven then) i was supposed to act like some vessel or some connection to the spirit world ... I guess...
Suprisingly that spirtual healer lived in a very posh area..
Well they took me to him , ok, then He blackened my right thumb with a black marker...
And asked me to to look at the thumb while my fist was closed holding a prayer bead..
Then he started asking me question regarding the auntie's problems ,
like e.g. How tall is the person hiding such and such amulet in a certain place?
(he said your thumb is like a TV now
)
.
He asked me many many question which i was supposed to answer while looking at my thumb..
I don't remember what exactly i saw, but i answered all his questions
they took me to him for days
