Are Psychics Real?
Many people visit psychics looking for answers to problems they may be facing. And indeed psychics can offer advice on such matters, whether channeled from a departed loved one or from the general Spiritual ether. However, we should always remember that we have free will, and that ultimately any decision must be our own – albeit taking account of psychically-obtained guidance.
Preparing for a Psychic Reading
Decide in advance what you want to get from the reading. This may help in your choice of psychic or medium. If you have any questions, write them down in advance.
Ask if you can tape record the sitting. Most psychics won’t have a problem with this. Some will even tape record the reading for you.
Try to clear your mind before the reading. Meditation, if you are able, is excellent preparation. Otherwise, just spend the day quietly, preferably alone, and without emotional stimulation.
Treat every reading as an experiment. Most will yield positive results, but there is no guarantee – so don’t be disappointed or discouraged if the reading is unsuccessful.
Can Psychics Predict the Future?
Recent par psychological research and the findings of modern physics both suggest that time is very different than how we perceive it. Mediums have long reported that time in the Spirit world has no meaning. Which all suggests that the future is predictable.
However, having free will we (help) create our future by the choices we make in the present, which appears to rule out psychical prediction. For example, if a psychic told you that you were going to perish in an air crash you’d probably avoid taking airplanes ever after, thus invalidating the prediction.
What seems likely is that psychics can indicate what’s likely, probabilistically, to happen in the future. This is how psychic abilities manifest themselves in the laboratory, eg instead of guessing a chance 50% of coin tosses a gifted psychic might be able to manage 55%, which might not sound like a great success rate but is highly statistically significant if maintained over a large number of trials.
Psychics do offer predictions for the future, but these indicate likelihoods rather than certainty. And you can usually avoid an undesired future likelihood by applying your free will.
Develop Your Own Psychic Ability
As mentioned above we all are all Spirit at essence and as such are all part of the Spirit realm with un/under-used psychic abilities of our own.
An alternative to having a reading with a psychic is to begin the process of developing your own psychic ability, thereby cutting out the middle man and receiving your own psychic impressions directly.
This option is neither quick nor easy, and one that may best be pursued in parallel with having readings with established psychics. However, if you feel the Spiritual path is right for you it is an option you will likely pursue at some time or another.
