Firstly, such denial of the possibility of determining between "sight" and delusion, is unscientific and unprofessional. Second, Manson's interpretation is not exactly clairvoyance. It fits a scenario of someone reading meanings into something from a respected (for him and his social set) source that support what he wants anyway. Remember he was obsessed with having a career as a rock singer. Thirdly, since his plans failed to do what he expected them to do, his input from outside his own crazed mind, if any, was not from some source of invariable accuracy and reliability. But that doesn't rule out another scenario. That the entity or entities using him and feeding off the sex orgies and later the bloodshed, may have had influence on The Beatles in writing the song "Helter Skelter." By that time they had been fooling with altered consciousness and so forth without any clear sense of what they were looking for or what to avoid. So it might be that Manson correctly interpreted a message, but it was FROM the Beatles, it was unknowingly channeled THROUGH the Beatles from something else.

The Manson Family (to bring them up yet again) believed that The Beatles were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Who is to say that they weren't? **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.
