SID: Shirley Maclaine’s manager was grooming my guest to be a Hollywood superstar and a leading spokeswoman for the New Age religion. When she wanted out New Age spirits tried to kill her.
Can ancient secrets of the supernatural be rediscovered? Do angels exist? Is there life after death? Are healing miracles real? Can you get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance? Sid Roth has spent 30 years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of It’s Supernatural.
SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest, Robin Harfouche, was trained as an infant to be a leader in the New Age religion. She didn’t even know what the word “new age” was. But at age five you were able to tell what people were thinking. Did you think this was strange or did you think this was normal?
ROBIN: Well I was told by my parents actually that, you know, I was an unusual child, and I knew from about four years old that I had been gifted with what my mom called “the veil”. My great-grandmother was into witchcraft and so they prey down on the generations that there would be a child born with the veil, which is ESP, extrasensory perception.
SID: Well you know what I find interesting, on one side of your family there were witches, but on the other side there were Pentecostal Christians. So it was almost like a tug of war–
ROBIN: Yes.
SID: –that was going on your life. I’ll bet you suffered the repercussion of that tug of war.
ROBIN: I really had no idea, of course, that that was going on. That was an invisible war going on. I didn’t know about it. But I thought that what I had been given or born with was a special gift from God and that that was what my heart was filled with, was being able to express that, help people with that.
SID: Okay. So let’s fast forward. You’re 18 and you have an encounter with, I don’t know, I know it was a spirit, but I don’t know what you thought it was. But tell me about it.
ROBIN: Well I was 18. I was going to a university to get a major in writing, and I was walking down the street in the middle of the day and I heard a whistle behind me, and I turned around and I saw probably a 9- to 13-foot tall, it looked like an angel. And it spoke to me and I could tell no one else could hear it. And it told me that it had been watching me since I was born and that I was chosen to be a mouthpiece or a prophet for a new religion called the New Age. And so from then, you know, I was completely led by this spirit guide.
SID: And you were led to become a dancer, and you actually got on a top television show. Tell me what that was.
ROBIN: Solid Gold.
SID: You became a dancer but in a supernatural fashion. Someone that gets there has been training their whole life, but this spirit guide was kind of grooming you to be a top star. And then you’re at a friend’s house. Get this, she’s at a friend’s house and she gets a phone call and what did this man say to you?
ROBIN: Well it was really odd. I was at my girlfriend’s house and I get this, she got the call actually, and the man asked for me. So I get on the phone and he said, “Your name was on the top of my phone sheet to call today.” And it just had my name and it said “dancer/actress”. And he said, “Who are you and how did you get on my list, because nobody gets on my list.” Because he was a major Grammy-award winner producer/director. And so I said, “Well I don’t know how you got my number. I don’t even know how you knew I was here. I don’t know how that number got there.” And then he paused and he said, “I really think it’s God. We need to meet.” And so I went to his office immediately.
SID: Okay. And he had this long meeting with you and then he hooks you up with an agent that was Marilyn’s Monroe’s agent and Dean Martin’s agent, and Michael Jackson. And, I mean, and you were ready to explode as a superstar. But he sees a spirit with you. What does he say?
ROBIN: Well the manager that this director/producer hooked me up with, when I went into his office the director told me, you know, if he gives you five minutes, you know, that’s incredible because he’s like a power man, you know, in Hollywood. And I was in there three and half hours. And when we began to speak he said, “You have this spirit guide.” And I said yes. And by this time the spirit guide had revealed itself to me as Marilyn Monroe.
SID: I bet it was that same spirit that was connected with the Marilyn Monroe.
ROBIN: Well he was her manager.
SID: Right.
ROBIN: So he was the vice president of the largest theatrical agency in the world.
SID: But then he progresses with mentoring in the new age–
ROBIN: Yes.
SID: –because he wants you to be a spokeswoman for this new religion.
ROBIN: Yes.
SID: He sent you to a place called, like a place where you learn how to channel. That’s where you have a spirit come inside of you and the spirit speaks through you. But you saw something awful. What did you see?
ROBIN: Well, you know, he also managed Shirley Maclaine and she was like kind of a mentor to me. And so they said, you need to go to Mill Valley. There will be 24 psychics there and there will be one woman who has, you know, channels, a spiritual teacher and you need to go there to be trained to channel. And this lady walked in. She looked completely normal, you know, like somebody who next door would make you brownies, you know, a really sweet looking lady. And when she began to speak a deep guttural male voice came out. Now up until that point through everything I had studied, you know, Edgar Cayce and all the different clairvoyants and things like that, I had never encountered anything like that, and so to me, it freaked me out.
SID: I understand.
ROBIN: It reminded of like “The Exorcist” or something like that. And so I just got so frightened. I went back to Hollywood and I went in and told my manager, “Look, you know, I’m cool with the dancing, acting and singing, but I’m not gonna do this new age deal.”
SID: And what did he say?
ROBIN: He said, “Well you have to do it.” He said, “You have no choice, you know, that’s what your destiny is. You know, you have to be able to teach this and so you have to learn to do it.”
SID: Listen, I can imagine her being upset over seeing something take control over another woman to the point where the voice is. Robin would have lost who she was. She could not do it and she turned him down, and when she did the spirits tried to take her life. Be right back after this word.
