Courtroom Yogi of Death

Here's a post from two years ago on the creepy spiritualism of Right-to-Die attorney George Felos, man with a mission: the death of Terri Schiavo.

At NRO, Eric Pfeiffer has read the book by Michael Schiavo's "very strange lawyer."

For the past 25 years, Felos has practiced yoga and meditation as a means to advance his spirituality and career. And while he lectures on "practicing non-attachment," Felos has made a good living along the way attaching sizeable legal fees to his bank account.

Critics of Felos and Michael Schiavo claim a significant portion of funds awarded for the care of Terri Schiavo have actually been absorbed in legal fees paid to Felos. As Wesley Smith, author of Forced Exit: The Slippery Slope From Assisted Suicide to Legalized Murder and frequent NRO contributor, says, "I find it bitterly ironic that the bulk of the money a medical-malpractice jury awarded to Terri for use in making her better instead went into Mr. Felos's pocket to make her dead."

Felos describes his spiritual beliefs as syncretistic religion, mixing elements of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Native American ceremonial practices. In Litigation as Spiritual Practice's introduction, he declares, "evolution of consciousness is our ultimate salvation."

His apparent lack of concern for Terri Schiavo's plight might be better understood in the context of his belief that "[i]n reality you have never been born and never can die."

Comments Janjan:

This guy has "Aging New Age Hippie Bullshit Artist" written all over him.

American Digest has lots more on Felos and his New Age attorney wife, who doesn't fall far from the tree. (Or levitate, as the case may be.)
