They explained how the frauds do work : always by starting by very general questions. And I remember reading a few years back about a psychic guy and the people surrounding him taking a massive amount of notes. Oh yes, now it comes back to me :<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce<br /><br />True ? False ? Who knows. I've read a lot of material on esoteric matters, and today, I am at the same point that I was at the beginning : is it true ? false ? who knows ?<br /><br />The best thing that I've "discovered" is to take some, loose some, and live at the fullest the present moment....celticmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018881585193380762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196249268412044935.post-57085073814017020822013-06-14T17:18:55.323-07:002013-06-14T17:18:55.323-07:00Quite extraordinary Chris that I check your blog, ...Quite extraordinary Chris that I check your blog, and yet, familiar "faces" from another blog LOL<br /><br />This is a difficult question to answer. What happens between our ears is so complex. I guess it is a natural thing to do to turn to psychics and all when we go through a rough patch in our lives. I've had more than my share this year and exceptionally, I've checked through predictions books of all sorts. Wouldn't do that usually, except just for fun.<br /><br />Sometimes, I wonder if I'm not a physical "empath" : some places and houses leave me with a bad aftertaste and make me feel uneasy while others make me feel good and at ease. Or it is just me ?<br />celticmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018881585193380762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196249268412044935.post-86960303535229176332013-06-10T06:39:29.089-07:002013-06-10T06:39:29.089-07:00I'm convinced that parents become "psychi...I'm convinced that parents become "psychic" when it comes to their kids. My dad was especially so. After I moved to New York, I had a string of really bad things happen. I called my dad early one morning and he answered the phone by saying, "What's wrong?" He somehow knew it was me and that I was upset. My mom, as well, has an uncanny ability to sense both good and bad in her kids. Genetics? Who knows, but it can be amazing to witness.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196249268412044935.post-31767225539374415982013-06-10T06:32:09.722-07:002013-06-10T06:32:09.722-07:00It's stories like this that help me keep an op...It's stories like this that help me keep an open mind.

Even if s/he is a fake. I think it would be fun even to see a con artist at work, like the one you saw Chris. Did anyone lose a relative at a young age? Really? Broad shot, clearly. :)<br /><br />One of my college roommates had a psychic back home who would actually call her with stuff. One day the psychic said her blonde roommate should see a doctor. I laughed it off. Two weeks later I was in the hospital. Coincidence? Entirely possible. It's still fun to imagine there are people who can do that sort of thing.<br /><br />Billie - You know *the gift* runs in families, right?

Most psychics are just canny about people, as you said, and they use it to make a living. <br /><br />But then there's some of the women on my mother's side of the family. My mother's mother, a very controlling and scary woman who manipulated everyone around her, would read regular old playing cards, not tarot cards. She would tell you specifics, like you're going to get a letter in a few days that will say such and such, or you're going to meet someone who will do such and such, and I swear, it all happened. She died when I was sixteen. One of my mother's cousins completely creeped me out once by pulling information about my relationship with my best friend right out of my head. She did it for half an hour, one thing after another. It was stuff I hadn't told anyone and she had absolutely no way of knowing. <br /><br />And I have a great aunt who spent a ton of time in New York City. She was a playwright who had a lot of plays performed off Broadway in the sixties, seventies and eighties. She would take relatives on tours of the city but always refused to take them to the World Trade Center because she felt something was very wrong with it.<br /><br />Maybe my grandmother was just able to read people really well, or made good guesses. Maybe my mother's cousin was reading the expressions on my face. Maybe my great aunt just didn't like the way the World Trade Center looked. Who knows?Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
