It is no legend...

In a university town a self-styled "truth student, healer, teacher and facilitator" invited the public to a special program when he would channel a Day with the Masters including "Kwan Yin, Lord Sananda, Arch Angel Michael and the Council of Shambhala."

It sounds like a game for children, but apparently some people take very seriously the program described in a local newspaper.
