Psychics, astrology, Tarot cards, etc.

All bullshit, or what?

The thing I've noticed about famous "psychics" is that everyone forgets all their false predictions, or the major news stories that they NEVER predict, and focus on one or two small things that kinda sorta resemble something that actually did happen. So by that standard, it should be pretty easy to qualify as a "psychic"

And astrology: people remember when they know someone who fits the profile of their zodiac sign, & conveniently ignore all the vast number of facts to the contrary.

so basically, people begin with a pattern in their minds about psychics or astrology or whatever. Then they selectively focus on only those things that happpen to coincide with that belief, and discard all evidence to the contrary, so that they are only left with "proof" that the phenomenon is real.

Just my opinion. So what's yours?

All a big bunch of bullshit.

I have absolutely no respect for "psychics". The worst are the ones who try to get involved in police investigations.

Well they fall outside of my belief envelope

If psychics are for real, why dont we see headlines on the front page of the sundays that They've won the Lotto... Again?

If Mediums work... how come JFK hasn't told us who killed him?

It is bullshit if you believe it is bullshit.

it is real if you believe it is real.

Yep a lot of them are full of it.....However amoungst it all there is some truth however well hidden to our physically dominated world.

The nebulous world of cosmic & phsychic happenings is generally hidden to us little earthlings....and probably for good reason.

Modern humanity would be like a bull in a china shop if let loose into the phychic realms...all the little pixies would fly away elsewhere as the stench of narrow minded humanity attempted to exert it's small belief systems on the extended cosmos.

From the cosmic/spiritual view this earth is a minute pinprick of dense matter and it's correspondingly dense consciousness.
What appears as the void of space is in it's own reality a magnificent swirl of universal energy and beauty usually well hidden to our shrouded eyes.

Charlatans that attempt to draw inference from their supposed contact with spirits often get dealt their own just deserts of deceit and confused misunderstanding.

It is safe to realise that there is much more than we can know and hopefully much more than we can ever know. Our very fact of existence proves that there are greater powers than we now .
All things are possible and all things exist even if only in the mind .

Thankfully we are protected from the immensity of full cosmic realisation by a creator that loves and cares for us all in ways often not immediately apparent.

Do I belive in phsychics?
Sure but hey they're only human.
