With all of our pictures together, I was only able to post this one of him sitting on the stairs. He didn't want his picture posted in fear of what people would think and because of what the writings did to him physically. I confirmed all the names, places and events in his writings were real. I asked him, why me? Did he know that I would just happen to stumble upon his materials, take such a deep interest and eventually meet him? He said, yes, that he had been waiting for me, that Nethaleo told him that we would meet and that all of this would happen.
I figured with the original author in my friendship, the rest of the journal would blossom like a fresh flower on a sunny day. Wishful thinking. It only became more complex. We worked as a team and spent long hours talking about his life and his visions. He explained that Nethaleo is De'Maitre's guardian angel. But over time, De'Maitre believed he was the guardian angel; that he had powers and special abilities. This was a delusion. And when there were times when he could channel his guardian angel to help him with a great crisis in his life, he didn't follow the instructions, so things did not turn out the way he expected.
Now, psychologically speaking, any one who has long term exposure to cults, paranormal activities or perverted religion and mysticism, can become extremely vulnerable to their influences.
The effects include paranoia, illusions, nightmares, excessive use of fowl language, violent tendencies and withdrawal family and friends. It is a form of addiction.
The writer explained that while scribing the journals, he experienced random, angry outbursts. He said he was at work one day when he got into an argument with his manager over a shipment order. He said he jumped out of his truck, said he would turn them to dust and his wings were stronger than any man-made object and then he jumped up on the top of the trailer, yelling and flapping his arms, ran and tried to jump off of it and fly. He landed face first onto the pavement and loading rail, resulting in his disfigured face.
In 2005, he was moved to the Lane County Psychiatric Hospital in Eugene, Oregon. His treatment went well, he was released and moved into his own apartment. That's where I met him in 2007. I remember he said regardless of what modern psychiatry and religion said, he believed that the "powers" being told to him for Nethaleo, were his. He believed he was Nethaleo. He believed he was a human-angel. As a friend and a Christian, I do not argue or judge him. I did as he asked me to do. I put up this site. Your story will be told my friend and the knowledge will be passed on.-DeMaster Thomas
