I just wanted to know if anyone thought that a physic could really tell you what was going on in your life and if it was really going to happen?

Your life outcome is based on your choices. There is no one on this earth that can predict the outcome of your life because it changes with each choice you make.

Take a look a the link below. Mediums employ cold reading methods in which the sitter actually provides the information. For example, a medium will say he senses a father figure trying to contact him from the spirit world and the sitter has only to find someone to fit the bill. It need not be the sitter's father. So, when the sitter identifies this father figure as her deceased husband, the medium is validated by the subject.
Selective memory is also involved in subjective validation because it is very unlikely that any sitter will be able to find meaning in every utterance the medium makes. Fortunately for the reader, the sitter will usually forget the misses and remember only the hits.

Occasionally, a medium will be caught in an egregious error, as Sylvia Browne was when she appeared on the Montel Williams show and told the parents of a missing 10-year-old boy that their son was dead. Four years later, Shawn Hornbeck was found alive. Browne also claimed that the man who took Shawn was a "dark-skinned man, he wasn't black -- more like Hispanic." She said he had long black hair in dreadlocks and was "really tall." She was wrong on all counts. She was also wrong about the vehicle driven by Michael J. Devlin, the man arrested in the case. Another alleged psychic, James Van Praagh said that two people were involved in the abduction and that a person who worked in a railroad car plant was involved and the body might be concealed in a railway car.

A look at Van Praagh's message board will reveal why such errors do little to destroy people's faith in charlatans like Browne or Van Praagh. To the devoted believer, the psychic can do no wrong. If there was an error, it wasn't the psychic's fault. What may appear to be an error may not really be an error. It's possible the psychic got his or her wires crossed and mistook one spirit for another. And so on. And, as Van Praagh and Browne have often said, they're not God and not infallible. When you're validated your right and when you're wrong you're right. For the alleged psychic it is always a win-win with your devoted followers.

The James Randi Educational Foundation offers a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. The JREF does not involve itself in the testing procedure, other than helping to design the protocol and approving the conditions under which a test will take place. All tests are designed with the participation and approval of the applicant. In most cases, the applicant will be asked to perform a relatively simple preliminary test of the claim, which if successful, will be followed by the formal test. Preliminary tests are usually conducted by associates of the JREF at the site where the applicant lives. Upon success in the preliminary testing process, the "applicant" becomes a "claimant."

To date, no one has ever passed the preliminary tests.

I think you mean "psychic". And as to whether I think they are real, I'm not sure. I think if anyone was really very good at predicting the future we would all have heard of them of course. But I do think that there are some people that are "sensitive". I have my own experience in that area. I was in the Navy and traveling back and forth to home while I was in "A" school. One weekend when three friends of mine and I were going back to the base we had a strange experience. Two of the four of us in the care started having feelings of dread and felt cold no matter how high we turned the heat. When we got there we called home (it was the two of us that lived where we had been visiting that were affected) and all was well at both houses. However, the next morning one of the other two came into our classroom very white and obviously distraught. He said that he heard on the radio that not long after we had called home our town was evacuated because a tanker on the interstate had been in a crash and started leaking some sort of chemical. They had only recently been allowed to return to their homes. We called home again later and got the stories from our families, who along with everyone else were alright thank goodness. There is no good explanation for what we were feeling other than a "psychic" experience.

Yes. There are real psychics. A lot of them can see into the future, some use tarot, some are extremely empathic, which gives some keen intuition. Most are telepathic as well. Some people will tell you it does not exist, and it's okay because they are not meant to understand it. If you study astrology (not just the general sun-sign aspect of it, it includes of a whole planetary and energetic influences), it can give you some info on your life here in this Universe.

For some it's just easier to live without thinking about it because it forces you to let go of attachments with the material world.

And also you do have to watch out for scams as well. Also interesting one traveling swami who crossed my path used mind control to get me choose a certain answer. Mind control is another thing you have to watch out for. I've learned a lot of things about the non-tangible in the last 10 years. Yes, at first it spooked me out because I couldn't, at the , believe it.

I hope you mean Psychics - A person who claims to have supernatural mental powers. Not physics - the study of the physical laws of the universe.

Physics - yes, real

Psychics - only think they are real

LOL Physics is definately real.

I'm sure you mean psychics, and although I dont' think people can sit there and tell us all about our future. I do think some people have a better understanding of their feeligns, emotions and abilities of their senses.

I feel that some ppl have a more accute sense of smell, hearing or other things. Some ppl just understand themselves better and know how to respond. Ideally, I don't think people can hold your hand and tell you your future. But I do believe there are people that sort of have an additional sense that gives them more insight.

True story for you:

My husband and I were invited to a wedding of some good friends I had known since I was in high school. They lived in another town and we didn't drive down untill friday night after my husband had gotten home from work.

Mutual friends had driven down earlier in the week having taken time off for a vacation.

When we arrived at the front door and rang. The door opened to a flurry of confusion and frantic people.

Still standing in the doorway we asked what was wrong.

The bride to be said, "We misplaced our marriage license and we cant get married without it!"

I calmly replied, " It is in your bedroom closet , in a box on the top shelf above your clothes."

"How would you know you just got here?" came the skeptical responses.

Nobody believed me. Nobody listened. Nobdy tried to prove me right or wrong!....LoL

We had to leave right away for the rehearsal and dinner so there wasn't anytime for us to help them look.

The minister told them that as long as they brought their license to him before they left on their honeymoon he would still be able to sign it and it would be okay.

The next day, Saturday, was the wedding. Everyone was too busy and there wasn't time to look.

Our mutual friends made certain that nobody was going to disturb the brides bedroom, in anyway, as long as they were around....lol

After the wedding and all of us were at the reception. The husband of our mutual friend decided he would go back to the brides apartment and do a thorough search military style....LoL...What a mess!

Still the license didn't turn up.

The bride and groom were worried that it would never be found and still they didn't check the closet because they were reminded again by our mutual friends that it couldn't possibly be in there as the wife had help put the things in the bedroom away.

Sunday morning the brides sister shows up to help search for the missing license.

She asked me if there were any places not searched yet.

I told her that the license could be found on the top shelf in the bedroom closet but nobody would listen to me as I had never even been in the bedroom before.

The bride had just moved in that week....LoL

I said nobody would even do me the courtesy of looking.

The brides sister said, "Well nobody is going to stop me!"

She ordered the friends to give her the key to unlock the door to her sister's room.

She went to the closet opened the door, pulled down the box, pulled off the lid and right on top where the bride, herself had placed it for safe keeping, was the marriage license....LoL

The bride finally remembered, she had put it there.

Then everyone wanted to know how I could possibly have known; when I hadn't been there when it was put away!

I am not certain how it works....but I seen it in my mind. I hadn't been in her new apartment prior to that weekend.
Albeit, when they said what it was, they were looking for....I seen it, as clear as if I had lived there my entire life.

I haven't had any training. I do not know how to control it. I can't always count on it.

But if someone had believed me, the brides apartment wouldn't have gotten messed up....it would have saved her alot of tears and frustration!

Yes, many are the real thing. Just be careful in consulting one and if they ask for a lot of money, steer clear of them.
