			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night I went to hear Lorna Byrne, author of the best selling book &#8216;Angels in my Hair&#8217; talk about her life as a &#8216;mystic&#8217;.</p>
<p>Twelve people I know also bought tickets and when we got together after the event not one of us agreed on whether or not,or how much,  we believed Lorna&#8217;s claims that she had been convening with the angels since she was a baby. The only thing there was a general consensus  on was that we were afraid to damn her as a charlatan in case what she claimed  <em>was</em> true.  We were scared to offend the Angels that Lorna claimed were teeming around, above and below us.</p>
<p>The woman&#8217;s knees were visibly knocking as she stood centre stage last night. A  pleasant, mild mannered person she was both inarticulate and very short on information about what the Angels look like and what say and do. Even though she claims to have been in communication with them for over forty years.</p>
<p>And yet, should her  lack of sophistication in the delivery of the message make me doubt it&#8217;s truth or sincerity? Or trust it even more so ?</p>
<p>Her claims that she sees Angels everywhere and they give her constant messages and instructions are almost too daft to invent. And if she was a liar surely she would do a better job by speaking clearly, coherently and having prepared answers for the most obvious of questions, at least. But Lorna didn&#8217;t,  she stumbled through the session and said &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; countless times when pressed for explanations. </p>
<p>At least a hundred people had their hands up to try and speak to Lorna in the post talk Q&amp;A session, including me.  I am ashamed of my question so am partly relieved that I didn&#8217;t get to  ask it in public. It was&#8221;What are you doing with the rivers of cash flowing your way from film rights and book sales.Have the Angels indicated that any of it should go to charitable causes?&#8221;</p>
