Why are nutjobs oput there so convinced they are psychic?

Question

I mean, it's obviously impossible, and NO ONE can do it. Anyone who believes they are psychic always patronise too, calling people non-believers etc. If you think you are psychic, what colour hair have I got? See? You can not answer because psychic ability and impossible. Don't tell me the crap about fortune tellers either. They use what is called cold reading. Look it up on Wikipedia. Now try to convince me psychic abilities exist.

No I do not believe Police Officers and the 'rule' that wasn't in the Bible about believing Psychic abilities. Maybe the 'psychic detectives' were affiliated with the criminals? Maybe the entire thing was a set-up? Maybe the psychics were the real culprits trying to dish the blame on someone else? I don't believe that. Next?

To God Savant:
Pick up Brain Waves? THAT'S crap. Your brain doesn't give out brainwaves, it lets you think and gives you a mental image, not eject the image through the air into someone elses head. Besides, why aren't people all over the world getting these messages? Hmm? Why can't anyone figure out my hair colour yet? If our brains can pick that up, why can't they pick up Ultraviolet or Infrared signals? Get the latest news? Because it's. Im. Poss. Ible

Can't be convinced and don't want to be?

Look, I'm very open minded. I try new things a lot, Hell I even have an IQ of 220. But I'VE never had any 'Paranormal Experience'. also, see how they are all patronisers? The 'believers' and 'psychics'? Not one post hasn't patronised me so far that believes in 'Psychic' ability. No, I do not believe, and no I will not believe in 'Psychic' ability as it is all a fraud and there are always means of proving it wrong.

Answer 1

its not those that claim to be psychic that are nutjobs..its the suckers that fork them over $$ that are nutjobs

Answer 2

That is because you have the wrong definition of psychic. You have within you this profound unconcious area that works like a calculater and it calculates everything that it has sensed to derive some conclusion that you may or may not conciously percieve. Some develope that tendency and are more in contact with their unconcious areas to understand and intuir a possible relationship such as would be it you were to look for a friend or relative without knowing exactly what or where that person may be you guess and are correct sometimes and sometimes not. Psychics that the police use are just very good at it. To berate them or anyone is just to show a misunderstanding of something and not a smart and intelligent overview of some definition that has no relative existence beyond the fantasies.

Answer 3

I think this comment is from someone who is close minded, and unwilling to see that there are many possibilities out there. There are people who charge, there are people who do not and do not disclose that they have a gift.

Every single person on this planet has a gift of sorts. Things such as this. Knowing when your child is hurt with out seeing them, or while at school. Knowing you will get a job, as you touch a resume that you send in.

I believe you have a misinterpretation of what this is about. Not everyone is about carnival shows and 4 min readings - that tell you that you will get married get a job ect.

I wonder why such an angry tone to your question.

Magpie

EDIT - BTW i truely believe in abilities, so yes you at least have one person who believes.

BTW - High IQ does not mean you are aware. Allot of people often *think* to much, and not feel. Allow things to happen, and a whole new world opens up for you.

I do believe in abilities, I do not believe in some people. Some people are definatly fakes, and others are truely gifted, such as the ones who help with murders or missing children. (and yes they do charge at other times for readings)

These people who can do this, do not always find this a good thing. It must be hard to always have snippets into other peoples lives where they wish they could not know.

Answer 4

Most psychics are swindlers who know they have no psychic abilities but convince gullible people that they do. Someone said police use psychics, but what I have reade says they are no help at all. The best ones are like actuaries for insurance companies who figure out some things that might well happen. I shall not try to convince you that real psychics exist, for i am certain that they do not. I recently read an article that gave some of Sylvia Browne's predictions for 2004 and 2006. She was so wrong it was pitiful. Why would anyone want to believe such nonsense?

Answer 5

I like how people think Wikipedia is the word of God, it is like the new millenium Bible. There are people with psychic abilites, maybe they can not read every possible thing but sometimes I believe they can. The human mind is a powerful muscle, it is the most intelligent thing in the known universe so why not think it can pick off brainwaves from other brains? Look, there are a lot of things that go on in the universe that we just do not understand. I think you do yourself an injustice if you close your mind to everything in your self righteous state of mind. Like Astrology, I personally think it is a bunch of Krap, but wht the hell do I know anyways, maybe some of its true, who knows? I don't

Answer 6

I.Q. =P.U. And thats the problem. Psychic ability is an (pay attention now) EXTRA Sensory Perception. Extra sensory. In truth it is not extra. Humans have far more than six senses (28, at least) but modern man has been bred out of using them. Psychi is a 'sensory' perception: percieving with senses - NOT THE BRAIN! Modern man reveres the brain yet,..............it's a mere body part! And, the brain cannot, that is cannot, is unable to sense. It only reasons. And, science has been registering brain waves for years! And, normally geniuses don't have paranormal experiences because they are so marinated in their own thought pattern that their other (extra?) senses lie dormant. Those that pick up, SENSE, something going on in the subtle world, the real world, usually are not geniuses for they pay closer attention to their sensory system - which does not lie in the brain. Like most narrow minded people who like to pass judgment on something they have not investigated nor EXPERIENCED themselves this understanding will elude you until you do! P.S. You're bald.

Answer 7

While I agree that people cannot actually be psychic, you have to consider that some do posses a certain ability, and that is make intuitive guesses, based on subtle clues either from people or the enviroment that us 'normal' folk may have missed. I can't remember where I heard this explanation, but it seems plausible to me.

Btw to all you self-proclaimed psychics, magician James Randi has a one million dollar prize for the first one who can prove their psychic ability in a lab. Gee, how long has that challenge stood now?

Answer 8

Well, some are making very big money off of the gullible. And some personality types are just prone to bizarre beliefs. The theory that everyone is psychic, is a bunch of baloney, and not one shred of evidence to back it up.

If someone were really psychic, you would be able to test the ability. But to my knowledge no one has ever been able to prove they are a psychic. And if they really were, they probably wouldn't tell anyone, because they would be making millions by betting on sports.

Answer 9

Wikipedia can be edited by the public. I don't put much stock in it. People who don't ask for money, but yet help the police and others try to solve crimes may truly be psychic or intuitive. You can't be convinced and you don't want to be. It's obvious by the way you wrote your question and details.

Edit- If you are going to claim an IQ of 220 you might want to proofread your question and details more closely.

Answer 10

Wow... you really do sound scared. That which you cannot hold holds you so firmly. You still have yet to convince me otherwise of the mind thing, but yes there are nut jobs as with anything who play the role, laugh to the bank, and continue the cycle...so this is bad, yes... but it does not really do it for me enough for me to believe that it is not possible though that some minds may be more attuned than others...bugs and lizards aren't the only things that adapt on this planet. Good question though.

Answer 11

Everyone is born Psychic some choose to use it and enhance their senses others just shut it down and just deny it all together.

Senses are

Sight: Eyes "Clairvoyance" Spiritual Body "Eye" (called the Third Eye)
Sound: Ears "Clairaudience" Spiritual Body "Ear"
Touch: Skin "Clairsentience" Spiritual Body "Skin"
Taste: Tongue/Nose "Clairlinguance" Spiritual Body "Tongue"
Smell: Nose "Clairolerance" Spiritual Body "Nose"
*Know: Brain "Claircognizance" Spiritual Body "Mind"

Clairaudience - Intuitive
This is a person who will pick up a thought and hear it. This persons mental or intellectual understanding is very important and they can make good leaders. We all know someone that we would say was a mental person, always having to understand mentally. They carefully think things through. If this person were to become enlightened they would have the ability to become a medium, someone who channels information from entities who have passed over, because their most heightened sensitivity is to hear.

Clairvoyance- Visionary
This is a person who will pick up a thought and see it. This person has the ability to transform a thought into a vision, symbol or in colour by using their mind's eye. If an artist, a decorator, a creative person, someone who mainly uses the right side of their brain were to become enlightened they would have the ability to read auras, our chakras, draw guides and this is how they would channel what they received because the ability to see images is their most heightened sensitivity.

Clairsentience - Prophetic (1)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and just knows it. This person is sensitive to precognition and has hunches, dreams and knowings and this person usually deals with the future or present and how it will affect another. If you were to meet an enlightened Prophetic you would be able to get some information about your 'line of probability', tomorrow is not set in time remember. This could be a person who has a dream about something and that dream turns out to happen in reality. They have the ability of prediction because they 'just know' and can tune into and understand their hunches.

Clairsentience - Feeler (2)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and transform it immediately into a feeling. This persons life can revolve around how it feels to them. Their sense of touch is well-developed and they have the ability to know people by feeling what they feel. After enlightenment, this is someone would have the ability to practice psychometry. The ability to put something belonging to someone in their hand and read the energy. Depending on their other gifts, they could tell the past, present or future from the energy. They have the ability to feel how others feel but only on the emotional level. They will be able to not only empathise but experience their pain, loss, grief etc. For instance, if they were to channel energy from a persons past life they would experience the pain and hurt that that soul experienced in that past lifetime.

Clairgustance - Taste
Clairgustance is being aware of tastes without putting anything physically in the mouth. To perceive the essence of a substance through taste from the spiritual or ethereal realms. The sensation of what one is tasting is often linked to a spirit on the other side.

Claircognizance
The sense of knowing through our brain, even though it is not a physical sense, simply because it has a corresponding metaphysical sense known as claircognizance, or knowing without knowing how you know.

Clairolerance - The Smell
The sense of Smelling different fragrances from Spirits to find that earthly connection, strong odours you can't escape and can't explain a reason for eg: Cooking odours, Perfumes, Perfumes, Cigars or Cigarettes, Flowers, Extra. The characteristic essence linked to a spirit on the other side.

Psychometry
Psychometry is another form of psychic divination using the sense of touch to get mental impression linked to it. Psychometric impressions may come in the form of emotions, sounds, scents, tastes or images. The visions can appear is single flat images, much like a photo, or as animations. As we exist in an electromagnetic energy reality, metal objects often work best.

Nothing in life is to be feared, It is only to be understood
