It's a load of old rubbish.

My mum was a psychic but she also would never do it for money.

It is a gift, a gift that should be properly used.

I agree with Pats. It is a gift which should be used properly.
There is also a well known saying in Clairvoyant circles which is "All mediums are psychic - but not all psychics are mediums".
Stephen O'Brien in one of his many books explains the difference between a 'psychic message' and a 'mediums message'. Briefly, he says the Psychics work more on telepathy from the sitter's own mind and usually contain no evidence of an entity who's trying to communicate his presence and personality to you.
He also says that in his view, "undeveloped 'sensitives' should have no place on the public platform: they should go back into the development class to be properly trained."

I think that's a correct statement for the 'stage' psychics that make a fortune out of guesswork and tricks of the trade.
Other than that - not impressed .......

'There is no such thing as spirits.'
'There are no such thing as ghosts.'
'There are no such things as UFO's.'
'There is no God.'

These are the basic beliefs of most people. They are impossible to prove scientifically or logically. There are all complete bunkum.

...Until you experience them for yourself.
Then you find yourself in a dilemma. You know they really do exist. You are unable to convince others, and you feel embarrassed even to talk about them..

Imagine how a Victorian man would feel if he saw a television, or a mobile 'phone, or a jet fighter. He would be branded as some type of weirdo - yet he would know.

Perhaps one day, there will be scientific instruments that prove beyond a shadow of doubt that there are such things out there. Until then, the wonderful powers of the brain, both animal and human, continue to 'detect' something....

Meanwhile, the charlatans will continue to exploit the weak.

That's about right ......

Re: Have you ever visited a Psychic?

My friend went to see ''Psychic Sally'' in Halifax. She said she was cringing with embarrassment by the time the show was finished.
Virtually everything she said was wrong and didn't apply to anyone..
''Your husbands name was Alan..Bertie..Clive..Dan?''..''errm no!''
''you had a black and white dog..I can see him near you!''...''Errm no..I have never owned a dog!''
At the end..''Sally'' bowed and said ''Ah well..I can't get everything right''
According to my friends, she got nothing right..and with a 500 seater theatre bulging at the seams..£25 per ticket..she must have been laughing all the way to the bank!

Not too bad for 2 hours ''work''!!!

Re: Have you ever visited a Psychic?

Personally I think it has more to do with our own instincts and intuition than anything. Sometimes we learn to pick up certain energies for our own protection - like a kid growing up in a violent home. For some of us it’s quite important to be able to ‘read’ people.

Then there’s our hidden storehouse of knowledge - all the experiences and interpretations and assumptions we took onboard while growing up. We may not remember it all consciously but it’s all there never the less. And some of us are able to put it to good use.

I don’t believe there is anything magical or mystical about it. All said and done it’s simple common sense. And I do believe some people misunderstand it and think they have some special gift.

I had a dream when I was much younger, around the time I was becoming aware of the power of instinct and intuition, and I was beginning to think that maybe I was psychic. In the dream I was on a ladder (I took it to be a spiritual ladder) and I heard the words “Go on. Keep going. You can always go back if you want.”

For me psychics and mediums are people who chose to stop on that particular rung of the ladder. I chose a more personal and spiritual development path.

PS.

I can’t help wondering how wholesome the psychic or medium path is. They all seem to suffer such painful illnesses. Perhaps their inner-self is trying to tell them something but they're not listening.

Re: Have you ever visited a Psychic?

Even the ''holiest'' of people suffer painful illnesses..and painful deaths..

God doesn't save them..

I believe that the truly psychic just have that extra perception..and learn to listen to it..

After all...why would the Pentagon and police employ them??

Re: Have you ever visited a Psychic?

My last mother, (I had seven altogether), was extremely superstitious, and was forever looking up in a well-worn book the meaning of her dreams. She would never have a cup of tea without turning it upside down, and reading the leaves.
Every morning, as soon as the paperboy had shoved the Daily Mirror through the letterbox, she would look up her astrological reading for the day. It might say, 'You will receive a letter from a strange man.', and when the postman delivered a bill from the Electricity Board, she would say, 'I told you that would happen...'
