This can't be real, so why does she insist I'm a Focus?

Question

Ok. I know this sounds strange.
I went to a physic on a dare after my friends and I had finished reading a book on sprits and focus' and stuff. I guess a Focus is a person who a poltergist or spirt focus on. Anyway, when we got there this lady looked at me strange and asked to look at me. Then she asked my friends if anything strange happends around me when I have extreme emoitons. Of course my one friend who believes in all this started going on about how when I got mad a few times people around me started choking. Then this woman started babbling about me being a Focus and how I might not be safe... what the hell was she talking about!

Answer 1

Try the Myth/Folklore section for this question. I weren't know but I don't believe in physics myself.

Answer 2

It could be real. Do you find that strange things happen around you? Or do you think your friends knew you read the book and where just setting you up. I've personally never heard of a "focus" until I read your post.
Who knows..... Stranger things have been known to happen...

Answer 3

Spiritism is simply a modern form of the pagan necromancy condemned by the law of Moses. "Neither let there be found among you anyone that consulteth soothsayers ... or that seek-eth the truth from the dead" (Deut. xviii. 10; Cf. Exod. xxii. 18; Lev. xix. 31; xx. 6, 27; Isa viii. 19).

While pretending to be a "new revelation,', Spiritism is a pagan superstition, which denies every dogma of the Christian Gospel in the name of an imagined communion with the dead— a cruel parody of the Communion of Saints. Its God is either an impersonal World-Soul, or a vague Unknowable, whom we must not worship, and to whom we must not pray. Its Christ is a purely human Medium, a great spirit, who did not die on the Cross for man's salvation, because the fall of man is a "baseless figment," and sin in the Christian sense an absurdity. Death is not the end of our probation as the Scriptures teach, but the beginning of our education and development on one of the spirit spheres. The future life is pictured, not as eternal happiness in the face to face vision of God, but either as a purely mental state, or as a life akin to ours even to the drinking of a brandy and soda, as Oliver Lodge's son informs us (Lodge, Raymond). Hell is dismissed as "odious," "unreasonable" and "contrary to common sense," a logical enough position once the idea of God is perverted, and the sense of sin destroyed.

The immorality of Spiritism lies in the fact that it is a gross superstition against the virtue of religion, explicitly attributing to creatures a knowledge of the future life, which can come only from God. The experience of the past eighty years has proved conclusively that Spiritism is attended with many dangers both to body and soul; it has frequently destroyed the physical health of its adepts, unbalanced their minds, and deprived them of the true faith.

The phenomena of Spiritism, physical and psychical, are most numerous and extraordinary,—the movement of inanimate objects without contact, apports, levitation, materialization, spirit photography, table-rapping in answer to questions, automatic- and slate-writing, clairvoyance, and the like. We grant that these phenomena are often inexplicable, but the spiritistic hypothesis has never been demonstrated. Apart from fraud which is seldom absent, we may explain these phenomena by telepathy, the sitters unconsciously voicing through the medium their emotions or thoughts; or by diabolism, evil spirits using the medium as a means of undermining the morals or of destroying the faith of the curious and the unthinking.

The immortality of the soul is a postulate of reason and a dogma of the Catholic faith. Spiritism in no way proves immortality, for despite its exaggerated claims, it has never in one instance proved spirit identity. The doctrine of immortality certainly receives no support from the hypotheses of telepathy or diabolism.
