Yes, in some cases. I always get a kick out of the palm reader that works out of the shabby little building. You would think they would simply pick the winning lottery number and live in the lap of luxury!
Having said that, it is important to realize that the human mind transmits and receives thought at a wavelength roughly equivalent to an A.M. radio. Occasionally, these signals are perceived by the conscious mind, in what is known as "extrasensory" perception, or e.s.p. In reality, this mechanism is at work 24/7 deep in our unconscious mind, keeping us from harm's way, and guiding us towards beneficial people and opportunities.
It is unfortunate that a handful of low characters transform this wonderful gift from God into a way to exploit the emotions of hurting people. If they only realized the incredible potential of the human mind, they would quickly abandon their pathetic crystal balls and Ouija boards!

They come from the same cloth as snake oil salesmen and the Wizard of Oz, but it's NOT those phony balony psychics doing exploitation.
There's a certain type of people that have a need to hear a few mumblings, mutter some prayers and hear what they perceive as predictions of their future. As long as these people are in existence there will be those willing to accept their hard earned cash to satisfy that need.

Yes, but I don't think they're any more false than preachers, the people behind diet crazes, or politicians. If trying to exploit people is wrong, we've got bigger problems than psychics.

I don't believe in it period. And besides that, it could lead a person to a lot of worry all for nothing.. A scam artist is just that... Live your life and be happy. And look to your future with your heart, not what someone else says... In my opinion anyone who believes in these things is just lost and has no where to turn or so they feel... If they would look deeper into themselves, they would see that there is no reason to dwell on things, just move forward and be the best you can... ♥

In the bible God gave many gifts seeing the future of what to come warnings... was one of them. God has given each of us a special gift if we can just find it and use it for good. But he also said there would be false prophets as well did he not? Have a really good one:-)

Psychics ARE false. I dont believe in palm-reading and all of that stuff. I think they just want your money.

I'm psychic and never took money from anybody, of course most people don't believe me until what I predict happens.

eh. Don't really believe in it. There are a lot of people more "in tune" with things and have feelings about the future, but this could come from gut instinct and past experience causing worry for the future.
