What's a Psychic?

Do you think maybe a bit like the picture above?

No?

The film industry is playing with the imagination!

There are basic laws that are in operation throughout the universe, and we just don't understand them all quite yet!

If there is any intention to deceive or not, we need to be able to tell what we are seeing,

EVIDENCE is the KEY.

What tools might either an unscrupulous psychic or medium use?

They could mislead an enquirer by physical means, magic tricks, slight of hand etc, motive here is not important, be it for financial gain or not, it is still wrong. Tarot cards, crystals, etc are not encouraged for this reason, their use can be misinterpreted.

Using mind tricks, by giving false information either for their own gain, just for the power of influencing another persons life by saying that spirit is telling them to do this.

Emotional manipulation taking advantage of the grieving person for whatever reason, an ego boost, power can corrupt the weak minded, it is all very unkind and extremely un-spiritual.

Either a medium or a psychic who purports to have any special knowledge either from spirit or not, is misleading, they are also leaving themselves open to prosecution.

A qualification, of say a medical kind, must be used out of the context of the church, or private sitting, to avoid confusion in the mind of the sitter, as to who is giving the advice.

The psychic.

If a psychic communication is purported to be spiritual, this is misleading, bearing in mind that impressions of an expected communication with a deceased relative or friend can be retained in the ‘aura’, and so read by an experienced psychic.

A psychic can mislead by deliberately ‘reading’ the unconscious emanations of a physical kind that we all give out, body language, facial expressions, and other visible signs, and using this method to deceive a sitter into thinking that it is a spiritual communication. [The thoughts that are going through the sitters mind might be picked up through a telepathic link also, these may be ‘read', like a diary of the days events.]

The medium.

The purporting to be a spiritualist medium when one is a psychic without that caperability is misleading in its self.

It is of no matter if money or reward of any kind in involved, motive is not the issue here, to deceive is anathema to the spirit world. It will no doubt delay the progress of the protagonist too!

The first method of deception coming to mind, [that may be used by both,] is fortune telling i.e. predicting the future. Although this is what a lot of people actually do come to the psychic/medium for mostly in the private reading which is by no means under a different set of rules. It must be made absolutely clear that we do not do this, it is very wrong both morally and legally, and is made clear in the guidelines for mediums in all the literature.

Anyway, the basic assumption here is wrong, it is not possible to ‘tell fortunes’ because each and every one of us, here and in spirit, have the power to change the course of history at any given time, by simply changing the course our actions.

It must be that the spirit loved ones know far more than we do about this subject, living in the timeless spheres as they do, but they would never interfere with events that have to do directly or indirectly with our development / progression. It’s not only wrong it can be dangerous too, and implying to the sitter that ‘this is what spirit would want’ is simply not true, they don’t do that, principal 5 is always in place.

Two points arise here, first, if a person is told what they are ‘going to do’, they may be programmed on a sub-conscious level into doing just that, and second, to conversely do the opposite and still going to change the course of events, thus voiding the so-called ‘prophecy’. [Catch 22 is that we will still do Gods work no matter what we think we are doing…!]

By pretending even by implication, just hinting, that information comes from spirit, when it does not is misleading, and of course leaving a sentence unsaid, [so leaving a misconception in place,] is just as bad. Any doubt in the mediums mind as to whether the sitter is not clear about a thing must be sorted out, conscious neglect in this is not making the medium any less culpable.

Another way a sitter might be mislead, we could say by ‘default’, is by neglecting to inform him/her that although the medium does their best, it is not guaranteed that they will be able to make a spiritual connection at all. This must be made clear at the beginning of the process to avoid confusion. 

You might go and have a look at the article on Mediums...ok?
