Melissa Meyer, Lency Spezzano, Babs Stevens
------------------------------------------------------------
The videos Lency Spezzano puts out are difficult to watch. If you can watch one, I recommend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fds1BgICdBY [Dead link, removed from public view in May 2015. Here's a substitute]:

The woman with Lency is Babs Stevens http://povcanada.com/trainers/babs-stevens/ - a POV trainer and chief administrative officer with the Skidegate Band Council
When Lency starts out with the "today is your birthday", she is using her usual intro, this is the start to the hypnotic induction, she directs us to imagine that it is our birthday, ask for what we want.
You will see Lency make odd hand and arm gestures. She is trained in American Sign Language and has also invented her own sign language for various POV terms. This is also her way to keep focus trained on her.
Babs says "I would like to heal Contact". Now keep in mind, Babs has been part of this Psychology of Vision organization for quite awhile, she has been recruited and is heavily invested.
Lency is a white woman, a con artist, directing and controlling a First Nations leader. Lency runs the show, interprets what Babs is saying, and "heals" her.
Lency says Babs wants to receive the removal of the negative influence of colonization. In fact Lency claims she can remove it from the minds of Babs and others entirely. For generations to come. Then she says this is because there is "only one of us here".
"Only one of us here" is A Course in Miracles slogan that POV uses often. How racist is that? Lency, a white, dominant woman, telling First Nations women that there only "one of us", which in this case means "there is only Lency and her need for money". Obviously there is more than "one of us" in this video, in that room, and everywhere.
Lency talks at length on how committed POV is to First Nations. She claims that POV shares similar values with First Nations "original culture". So she is claiming that diverse First Nations are one "original culture", and that everything is the same, all about oneness.
When she speaks of oneness she is also speaking of Oneness, as in the Oneness Movement that POV is a spin off of.
Lency claims that POV is causing "cultural renaissance" in First Nations communities. Lency makes a somewhat clumsy pitch for more FN families to join.
Lency says POV receives so much back, "so much grace and beauty".
Then Lency's face goes through contortions, she cues the music, and she tells the audience that this is a big one, that we will feel this in our brain.
She tells that if we feel uncomfortable it is okay, it is just things going on in our brain.
Lency takes Babs' hands. The two women laugh, make faces, Lency does a predatory staring routine. All while the music plays, a woman singing about Shakti. Babs has what looks like a mild seizure, Lency sobs and cries.
Lency eventually directs verbally and with a gesture Babs to look at a specific camera. The Shakti music is louder, Lency has a hand on Babs' shoulder, Babs looks like a wreck.
We get to see the audience, women are smiling, one woman is rocking in place (about 10:32). Lency directs another trainer to join them, this is Melissa Meyer, Tsimshian http://povcanada.com/trainers/melissa-meyer/ [Dead link. Meyer left POV at the end of 2014]
She's rolled the audience at this point, people are trembling, laughing, one guy has the shakes, the music continues, Lency comments that there are so many people in that room who were suffering from being colonized, implying that they have now all been healed. Lency refers to Melissa as "my daughter" at the end and kisses her.

Sick. How can any Haida with an ounce of self-respect submit to this obvious scam?
