Anyone heard of the "J-messages Group" aka "Companions of Wisdom" ?

I recently moved back into my hometown and discovered my parents are part of this group known as "Companions of Wisdom". They initially seemed somewhat guarded about sharing it with me which I took as a bad sign. My worry was compounded by discovering that information on the group was scarce and controlled. I was able to create an account on their site with a reference from my parents which gives me access to writings a "seer" has written by supposedly channeling spirits. I've attended one of their meetings to get a feeling of what they were about and from what I can tell the "seer" seems genuine and is not just trying to run a business. They shared a hypocritical message of banishing "magical thinking" yet knew how reincarnation worked. For example, I was told that actor Tom Everett Scott had some aspect or connection to my soul. It seems they are obsessed with matching souls together and read heavy into pop culture. For the most part it seems like a group of friends that are concerned with the state of the world. My personal thought is that this "seer" individual probably has voices in his head and has gathered an audience that wants to listen to them.



Essentially, I'm curious if anyone has heard of this group or what peoples opinions are. I'm paranoid about my parents being in a group like this, especially since my dad seems to be developing such a strong emotional connection to this group. I've expressed my concerns to them but I'm recanted with something along the lines of "That if we wait around for science to prove everything before doing something we won't have time to live". Seems like this group might just be a pacific northwest thing and I'm sure there may be many groups like this out there but any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
