It began in March of 2011, when Keegan and his friends were assaulted and robbed by gang members one night on the beach. The attack put the actor in the hospital. Following this event, a series of odd coincidences convinced Keegan that something bigger was at play, as if these events were all somehow connected. He also stated, The significance of this occurrence is that it happened at the same time the tsunami hit Japan. Other strange incidents Keegan witnessed include a street lamp exploding and a crystal that jumped off of an altar.
Full Circle fashions itself as a new-age, spiritual religious movement, and boasts a dedicated and growing following. Keegan runs the show with his inner circle, which includes his girlfriend, a talking parrot named Krishna, and other close associates. Regarding the name of the group, the actor explained, Synchronicity. Time. Thats what its all about. Whatever, the past, some other time. Its a circle; in the center is now. Thats what its about.
The movement incorporates various aspects of Eastern religious traditions along with new-age spiritual practices such as healing crystals. Full Circle gatherings host a wide variety of activities such as live indy music, meditation, and seminars on alternative medicine. At one of the services, the group focused their energy on water crystals in order to bring peace between Israel and Palestine. Afterwards, Keegan stated, theres power in the crystals, theres power in our hearts, theres an alignment, theres a resonance and it transfers through water.

At any rate, I hope they are successful with the Israel/Palestine thing.
Best of luck to him. Sounds harmless and if it gives some people peace and purpose, more power to them.

BTW, have you introduced your son to PeeWee? It was, by far, my two sons favorite shows for years.

Animal planet has gone downhill a bit. If it's not BE AFRAID OF SHARKS, it's BE AFRAID OF RIVER MONSTERS, etc.
