Hermes
Far Eastern Shining NZ Pty Limited.
Scam, cult, led by a man (Gerald Hart Attrill, now called Jessa O' My Heart)
who considers himself to be God. Followers believe him to be God, or Jesus Christ
incarnate, and that they are all reincarnated people who lived with Jesus 2,000
years ago. Ordinary water is sold for $80 or more for a 50mL bottle, an estimated
markup of 400,000%. Other products are reported
to sell for up to AU$30,000. Formerly called Infinity
Forms of Yellow Remember NZ Limited. Directors are listed as (get this!)
Lightly Tossing Sunlight and Quantum Leaps. The group is described in Australia
(where it started) as one of the fastest growing cults in that country. From
it origin in Tasmania, Australia, the group has spread to Queensland, and also New Zealand
and the United States. Separation of families has occurred in Australia due
to the group, which uses strong mind control
to get money out of followers. The Australian Fair Trading Minister, John Watkins
has named the group as an unfair trader under Section 86A of the New South Wales
Fair Trading Act. For more information see the Infinity
Forms of Yellow Remember articles on the Rick Ross web site or the Infinity
Forms of Yellow Remember info at Apologetics Index. Or read this
testimony of someone who spent thousands of dollars on the water (scroll
down to interview with Nicola). In this
story of a family broken up by the cult, Hermes Far Eastern Shining is described
by the New South Wales Fair Trading minister as "a mean con trick aimed
at the most vulnerable people in our society".

"These vials and waters are literally the Radiant Vibratory Current
of Jessa O’ My Heart’s Recognition and Radiance of his own awakening
as Only God" – sales waffle from promotional literature.
