Paul Moore "Bear Paw"
« on: April 29, 2008, 08:19:01 pm »
Could anyone here tell me more about a man called Paul Moore "Bear Paw", who is currently touring England with his "Evening of Clairvoyance and Mediumship"?

According to his website - http://www.paul-moore.org/clairvoyancepromotion.htm:

"Paul in his unique manner of humour and realism based in his Native American upbringing shocks electrifies and brings roars of laughter to audiences all over Scotland and England.

Confirming that there is a world beyond our physical world is what every Medium has to do but Paul sees his quest of life as being more. “When I am in front of an audience I have to bring in every gift I was born with, seeing aura’s, clairvoyance, Native American Wisdom and above all…empathy and compassion???. Paul is not beyond making anyone squirm in their chair wondering if he is going to come through with personal information…Paul states that he will get personal but also states that he does draw a line between personal and being intrusive in someone’s life and also states that he urges members of the audience to see him after if it is too personal to be shared. 

A man of honour in the tradition that he was raised in is Paul Moore “Bear Paw???.  Paul tells everyone at every event that life is meant to be lived in harmony peace, it is not meant to be arduous; your past-away loved ones; relatives and friends are here to give you direction in your life and through your life."

Thanks for your help!

“Cave of Water??? Healing Techniques
Paul Moore (Bear Paw) ...Featured on BBC and ITV & Martina Moor
Native Americans have always been revered for their ability to heal, but modern thinking of needing a pill or surgery has erased all desire and drive to heal…we are now a society of quick fix....

Afflictions of the body can be healed quickly. You may be taken back by this probable fact, but it is true. Seventy-five percent, 75%, of all physical illnesses, can be healed, the remaining twenty-five percent, 25%, can be healed with a partnership in Martina & Paul, Doctor and counselling.

No quick fix, but Moore will fix you quickly, with help from German women. Both Moor and Schulz mostly show up online on German sites.

He'll also teach you Tarot.

Mostly he's claiming to be a generic Native, no tribe mentioned. There was an old reference (according to google) to him supposedly being Abenaki, but that's gone from the site itself now. This site mentions his sister being from Skowhegan Maine.

"Dream Walker - Bear Paw (Paul Moore) Lecturer & Author
Native American Indian (Abenaki), Native indigenous are taught from birth that they are dream walkers and that they can create... The life of an indigenous is rooted in truth and an unshaken belief in their ability to dream life reality. My dream of life, like all native Americans is to help people to free them from their past so they may live in the present, the Now, a position of creating their precious Life’s Designs. Attend my talk to find out more!"

Most of that's Nuage and pop psychology gibberish. NDNs are taught no such thing.

He's also hitting the circuit in Germany.

Someone named Michelle is promoting him on a Metis board.

I don't know if he's Abenaki or not, but I don't see any of what he's doing as having any relation to Native traditions.

"Evening of Clairvoyance and Mediumship"?  - that ought to put his right from the start in the fraud category but I guess this is as good as place as any to post this faker. I keep expecting someone to start using Mesmer rods
http://www.anton-mesmer.com/hypnosis.htm
with a NA nuance to it ( 3 Feathers Mesmer...?)  and advertise and conduct healing sessions, all for a few hundred dollars per session of course, there being enough nit-wits and fools around to buy into it, just like this nonsense.

Just from a quick look at his site, I noticed several words in British English spelling (honour).

And I found two sites still advertising Moore as Abenaki:

http://www.visitnortheastengland.com/site/whats-on/a-z/p
"Scott Williams is a medium who was born in the north east of England. Paul Moore - Also known as Paul ( Bear Paw) - is half Irish and Abenaki Indian who hails from Massachusetts in the USA."

http://www.bwynorth.org.uk/links.htm
"Paul Moore (Bear Paw)…raised in the traditional Native American Abenaki way of Dreaming and Visioning is here to share with you the “Ancient Way??? of being able to turn a conscious thought into a reality. You can learn how to manifest your desires and wishes simply by a thought or through your own will. Paul now lives in Darlington"

Looks to me like he has the wrong idea about visions and dreams.  He puts a different twist to it.

I was quite shocked to read this information about Paul Moore. I have met paul many years ago and to me he is a very kind person, who does loads of charity work to try to help other. Julia has never met paul apart from one email contact where she insulted him and asked stupid question, Paul replied to her very politly and she had the chance to meet him, sadly she didnt take this oppurtunity.
I dont think it is right to say that someone is a fraud if you have never spoken to or met this person. She could have got the correct information she needed on Paul's website instead of listening to someone's false information or oppinion. So what is her game?
I am a healer myself for many years, and it is very stereotipical to say that Paul is a fraud or a fake as I know that he is a genuine healer. I would like to send love and light to brighten up not just her life but everyone who dosent know Paul and who writes false things about him.

Define "very familiar".  What reservation did you grow up on, or visit regularly.  How many true Native Elders have you spent meaningful time with?  What stories were you raised with as a child?

Reading books, playing dress-up, attending false ceremonies snd the like to not equal legitimate intimate knowledge.  Oh yeah, and there is no such thing as "the Native American culture".  There are hundreds, and all are different.  If you were truly "very familiar" with any of them you would know better than to say something so ridiculous.

Which one??

Pretty broad statement.  Last I heard Abenakis don't like people selling ceremonies in their name either. 

This wouldn't be Martina Moor would it?  The Martina advertised on Paul's website??

You may have to challenge your assertion that he's tellin' you the whole truth Martina.  Frauds don't hang out in dark alleys and wait....they go out and advertise right in front of everyone.  Charity work is often used as a method of advertising their services or drawing in others.  It gives them an impression of credibility.

Pay attention to some facts....he's claiming Abenaki and selling "Dreaming and Visioniong" for a price.  Abenakis don't charge for things like that and what is "Dreaming and Visioning" anyway??  Pretty broad title.....someone pays the price and he does whatever he thinks their looking for and calls it "Dreaming and Visioning" and YOUR helping sell that.

There's a few other obvious things that let people know he's not telling the whole truth.  Don't buy it....

He should take the "Native American" out of his selling points for his clairvoyance workshops.  As for yourself, Martina, you may want to examine your familiarity with Native cultures....there's not just one.

Superdog

P.S. His website says he was a Life Coach from '03 to '06....that's quite a jump from Life Coach to medium.  Listened to the CD....everything there is only Paul Moore's impression of spirituality nothing more....it's only loooosely based on ideas about some Native cultures.....some of its downright wrong...i.e. "Native Americans have no thoughts...they're tought by their mothers and grandmothers not to have thoughts...this is the way of dreaming."  Then later he says "The Native has one thought, one thought only...the thought of health"   To which, as a Native raised inside my community, I respond...ARE YOU FOR REAL!?!?  WHAT???  ;)

He doesn't speak for all Native Americans and his claims to do so are fraudulent.  As a self-help guru.....i'd give his rating a D- for overgeneralizing everything about Native cultures and being obviously oblivious about the true nature of communal and tribal specific spirituality.

Matina,I HAVE met Paul Moore,he may or may not recall the native woman he referred to (incorrectly as it happens) as one of those political city types,i don't need to defend or decry him on this forum,i have looked this man in the eye and told him directly he is a fake,inclusive of his notions of shamastic degrees.Bottom line is,misguided folks are paying this guy for a service that does not exist nor would he ever be qualified to understand the sheer insult to the Indian peoples his actions present.The Indian Nations have a presence in europe and thanks to the diligence of the NAPFS forum and others,that presence will be felt by persons such as Paul Moore and others.
