I have read a number of times now that I don't have arthritis and that therefore my handshakes to stop people gripping my right hand too hard prove that I am a Freemason. 

Yawn. 

Out of interest, this is a report by a consultant rheumatologist that I was forced to have done on the insistence of someone who saw me in agony from arthritis day after day for years, but still had me prove to a court that I have what they know I have. Amazing what the pursuit of money does to integrity. 

Anyway, this is the body-state with which I write my books, travel the world, and do my nine-hour presentations. I don't ask for sympathy, nor do I want it. I do what I do in the circumstances that I do it because I believe it is right and I will go on doing it until I drop, probably on a stage somewhere eventually still communicating the message that humanity must awaken and break out of its slavery. 

It is my choice and I take the consequences of that choice, no problem. 

But I don't have arthritis and I have made it all up to hide my 'Freemasonic handshakes'?? Please. 

Click here to read the consultant's report which it was demanded I had done for a court case by someone who well knows the agony I go through every day, someone who, apparently, only wants 'love', light' and 'peace' (yawn again) ... and other people's money.

My 'Masonic handshake' with Bill Ryan - what a joke.
