How I Was Chosen To Become a God | Hidden Hustles

At 18, Briano was chosen by the gods to become a spirit medium. For the past fifteen years, he has hosted two gods, going into trances and giving devotees advice almost every week.

A sceptic, Wenqi attempts to make sense of such a religious practice and find out how mediums like Briano tread between the supernatural world and the mortal realm.

Special thanks to the Shui Gou Guan Temple for allowing us to film on their premises. The opinions expressed by the speakers do not reflect the temple’s stance.

The cornerstone to OGS' amazing coverage is sincerity, open-mindedness and empathy. Even as a sceptic, these things shine through in the approach, conversations, production, and edit. Amazing work.

Special thanks to Briano for sharing his story with us!

We understand that the topic of religion can be very personal but at OGS, we wish to create a safe space for open conversations so that we can bridge differences and build conversations across communities. It’s not easy for our profiles to step out and share their personal stories, especially one that is so sensitive in nature.

Do watch this video with an open mind and withhold judgement and comments until the end of this episode. And while each of us may have a different opinion on the subject matter, let’s all navigate the conversation respectfully.

I am a Buddhist follower and believe in Mr. Briano’s voluntary work. It is one of Benevolent act of kindness for reaping good deeds by helping people especially involving Buddhists Deities and Buddhas. May Buddhas and Deities continue to help World of People where more people in need of help 🙏🏽🙇🏻‍♀️💐💐❤️❤️❤️ Thank you very much, OGS host and it’s team for sharing this rarest video.

Another banger by the OGS team! Lately I've been getting interested in some aspects of some religions (just gathering knowledge!) and I've read about spirit mediums not too long ago, really happy to see a video about them! The editing helps the atmosphere of the video too. :)

OGS killing it with the production quality 🔥

NOT EVERYONE CAN GO INTO TRANCE, YOU GOT TO BE PURE MIND AND HEART TO BE CHOSEN TO BE A MEDIUM.

My great grandmother was a medium. In trance she would speak the languages she doesn't even know. Cultures are similar all around the world.

[elizabethysmysm]

Great video. I think it’s really important to document down such happenings in Singapore for our descendants.

[janessakoh]

Very informative and interesting… first time I saw such an eloquent medium…I’m impressed even though I come from a different religion.

Thanks to OGS team for always making abd sharing meaningful content videos!

[theunraveler]

Interesting. I dont believe in the supernatural but Brian seems sincere. All the best!

[xeldith]

Another amazing video produced by OGS, really open-minded approach and editing with really great questions asked. Thank you for also showing the fear, anxiety and other very human emotions and aspects to this hidden hustle, touching on even family. Thank you for also not shying away from ‘controversial’ questions.

All put together, it makes for a brave, insightful and deeper approach into exploring the profession and culture :)

[baseplatecharlie]

keep doing what you're doing OGS, always looking forward to the team's work

“Is like different people touching one elephant. You can see which part you are touching. “
Wow, those are surprisingly wise words
