Psychic believers: Do you understand that they are being so general that their comments would apply to anyone?

Question

Does it seem odd that they ask more questions than they answer?

Pokey: Edwards is one of the biggest douche-bags I've ever seen.

Answer 1

Not Sylvia Browne, she's been on Montel all these years, I'm sure he wouldn't have her on there if she was a liar. He's even gone out on cases with her. I trust her.

Answer 2

I do not practice being a psychic as my career. However, I do have something and I did not say it after the fact either. I had a feeling that something really bad was going to happen in April of 2001. I get a call from my sister who is in California that she has cancer, so I thought that was my feeling, but it persisted.

I was living in Rockaway Park NY, 5 minutes from JFK at the time. About August, they do a firework show on the beach. Hearing all the booming, I start crying. I tell my husband, and my sister, who has returned to NY that they are going to attack us from the direction of the ocean which is East. I just had a really bad feeling like i didn't know what. I begin praying daily.

Then 9-11 happens. The night before I had a dream of the airport JFK and there was a plane crash and I saw crying children and people bloody. I woke up and when I turned on my news station I saw what had happened. I didn't work an early shift, I started my job later that is why I was home when it happened.

Planes leaving JFK go over the ocean as far as they can go -then head West. I knew this was going to happen, but it wasn't clear, I had no idea. Sometimes I think they (the psychics) are trying to interpret what they see. Do not scoff at this, it's true and it happens to people every day. Maybe they need to learn how to read what they see better. Maybe if I knew how - client's wouldn't have died, business associates would not have died. PS I am in the financial services industry, the people that died were my peers.

Answer 3

The thing is- some people certainly are scammers. Anyone and everyone can learn to read tarot cards, palms, etc. The 'Death' card is always going to mean whatever the Death card means in whatever position of the spread it is in. Lines on palms are going to have similar meanings as well- all of that can be learned by anyone in a book.

The difference between a real and fake psychic is that the real ones don't make general statements or ask a lot of questions about every little thing. That is where the 'psychic' comes into play- they will know what the card means for YOU or they will ask a specific question that you know is tailored for you (like using names, or in detail describing people or places you often see).

Answer 4

I'm psychic but I don't expect you to believe it. I can't control it and I don't make what I say general. I just sometimes know things and I can't help it that I do. I sometimes have visions and I can't help it that I do.

So, its real. I wish it weren't because I could do without knowing that someone I love is going to die. The problem is that I always do know and usually the vision is so vague, or without enough time to actually stop it.

Hey, if you want the visions, you can have them. I don't want them.

Its not a joke, its not a lie. And its not my imagination. There's nothing quite like seeing your best friend die in a fire, feeling the heat, smelling the smoke, like you're right next to her. And then waking up the moment she dies in your dream to find out that it was all real and she actually died at the exact moment you woke up by the doctors report.

Believe me, you can have it.

Answer 5

That's a 50/50 toss up because a good amout of the time that I have sent with a psychic/astrologer and her reading the cards was put towards her telling me the truth about myself that I generally would never have told anyone and that no one could generally tell me about myself and about what I hav gone through in this life. So it is a 50/50 toss up.

Answer 6

Sure, this methodology was detailed in a South Park episode that labelled John Edwards as the "Biggest Douche Ever" or something of that nature.

Answer 7

I've gone with friends to see psychics three or four times ... each time it was just for fun. Some psychics are "better" at their jobs than others. Some are good enough to make you pause ... others are just obviously pulling things out of thin air.

The biggest "eye opener" for me was when a group of four of us went ... and, although she told us not to, we all compared notes in the car coming home.

I thought the woman's statements to me were really interesting ... I was going on a trip ... it involved water ... she saw me advancing in my job ... there was a man coming into my life ... etc.

We all got into the car an compared notes ... we were ALL going on a trip that involved water ... we were ALL going to be promoted ... we were ALL going to meet this amazing man ...

It was all bunk. I'm not saying there aren't amazing, unexplainable things going on in the universe ... but I agree with you. Psychics generally aren't one of them.

Answer 8

There are frauds in everything. A remote viewer doesn't ask questions. Telekinetics don't ask questions. The only ones who ask questions are the ones claiming to talk to the dead or see the future. Not that I believe in any of those, but there are some things that I don't know for certain. I am skeptical, but open to the idea.

Answer 9

Of course. My sister actually called one of those psychic hotlines once, and she said "Tell me about my future love life." Then she was astonished that the person on the other end "knew" that she was unmarried. (Of COURSE they knew! She asked them to tell her about her FUTURE love life! What married person would ask that?) Big rip off. And people like that Edwards guy should be put in jail for taking advantage of people's grief. It's sick.

Answer 10

People still actually believe in psychics?

Anyway, good point. It does seem like they make extremely general statements. My roommate went to a psychic and I god a good laugh out of that one. She told me what the psychic said, and it was crap like - you'll meet a man in the future who will become your husband; you'll have children; you will be happy in your life; etc.

Answer 11

I had a reading with John Edwards. He did not ask me any questions. Everything out of his mouth was true. He new my dads personality and he new things no one would ever know. I fully believe in him. And until you have experienced it for yourself don't knock it. I got to speak to my mom and dad!!!!
