Do u believe in psychics? Can u prove u are a psychic?

Question

I want to believe in the supernatural and things like this but also I am a skeptic of everything and need proof before I believe anything. Do you believe in psychics? Are you psychic? Can u prove it? It would be nice to know if it exsists.

Answer 1

Yes I believe in psychics and yes I have certain gifts. My personal belief if that if one has a gift, it is from God and should only be used to help others, as God leads. I understand that you are skeptic, because I am as well. I am very careful of who I surround myself with because some people misuse the gifts that they were given, or they use it for personal gain. I didn't understand my gifts at first, but as time goes on, I understand them more and more. It takes wisdom, patience and understanding to really operate correctly.

Answer 2

Why do these questions keep popping up in R&S? They belong in the Science & Math section, under Alternative.

I too am a skeptic. Most skeptics will tell you that if a claim is made then it's important that such a claim should have some sort of evidence. Such evidence should be obtained in a controlled setting. As of yet there have been millions of dollars spent on researching ESP, psychics and other paranormal phenomena. As of yet there is absolutely NO compelling evidence that such phenomena exist.

The world would be a lot of fun if magic were true, but unfortunately it's not.

Answer 3

Dr. Daryl Bern would be having his study printed this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days in a peer evaluate magazine. He proved precognition. He first gave scholars a character survey. He then sat them in front of a working laptop or laptop the place random words have been flashed earlier them for 3 seconds. Then he examined their memory. Then - AFTER THE try - the laptop chosen random words for them to coach, people who defined themselves as threat takers scored way out of the realm of statistical possibilities. There are different checks. Our very own militia and CIA makes use of or has used psychic phenomenon. there has been fulfillment (nonetheless constrained) with distant viewing, case in point. in case you do no longer desire to appreciate despite if psychics are genuine or no longer, you will no longer discover evidence that counters your theory.

Answer 4

Please read this! Especially the last two paragraphs! It's good to be a skeptic. It's all a scam!

Cold reading is a technique used to convince another person that the reader knows much more about a subject than they actually do. Even without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by carefully analyzing the person's body language, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education, manner of speech, place of origin, etc. This technique is also called offender profiling.[citation needed] Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses.

Performers such as Lynne Kelly, Kari Coleman,[1] Ian Rowland and Derren Brown have used this technique at either private fortune-telling sessions or open forum "talking with the dead" sessions in the manner of self-proclaimed psychic medium John Edward and his British counterparts. Only after receiving acclaim and applause from their audience do they reveal that they needed no psychic power for the performance, only a sound knowledge of psychology and cold reading.[citation needed] Many famous psychics, on the other hand, claim that their abilities actually stem from paranormal means or intuition, and deny that they are employing cold reading techniques.

In an episode of his Trick of the Mind series broadcast in March 2006, Derren Brown demonstrated how easily people can be influenced through cold reading techniques by repeating the famous experiment in 1948, by psychologist Bertram R. Forer.

[edit] Basic procedure
Before starting the actual reading, the reader will typically try to elicit cooperation from his subject, saying something like, "I often see images that are a bit unclear and which may sometimes mean more to you than to me; if you help, we can together uncover new things about you." One of the most crucial elements of a convincing cold reading is a credulous subject eager to make connections or reinterpret vague statements in any way that will help the reader appear to have made specific predictions or intuitions. While the reader will do most of the talking, it is the subject who provides the meaning.

After assuring that the subject will play along, the reader will make a number of probing statements or questions, typically using variations of the methods noted below. The subject will then reveal further information with their replies (whether verbal or non-verbal) and the cold reader can continue from there, pursuing promising lines of inquiry and very quickly abandoning or avoiding unproductive ones. In general, while only some of the information comes from the reader, most of the facts and statements come from the subject, and are then refined and restated by the reader so as to reinforce the idea that the reader got something correct.

Even very subtle cues such as changes in facial expression or body language can indicate if a particular line of questioning is effective or not. Combining the techniques of cold reading with information obtained covertly (also called "hot reading") can leave a strong, but false, impression that the reader knows or has access to a great deal of information about the subject. Because the majority of time during a reading is spent dwelling on the "hits" the reader is able to obtain, while the time spent recognizing "misses" is minimized, the effect is to give an impression that the cold reader knows far more about the subject than any ordinary stranger could.

"Barnum statements" named after P.T. Barnum, the American showman, may also be used. These statements seem personal, yet apply to many people. And while seemingly specific, such statements are often open-ended or give the reader the maximum amount of "wriggle room" in a reading. They are designed to elicit identifying responses from people. The statements can then be developed into longer and more sophisticated paragraphs and seem to reveal great amounts of detail about a person. The effect relies in part on the eagerness of people to fill in details and make connections between what is said and some aspect of their own lives (often searching their entire life's history to find some connection, or reinterpreting the statement in any number of different possible ways so as to make it apply to themselves). A talented and charismatic reader can sometimes even bully a subject into admitting a connection, demanding over and over that they acknowledge a particular statement as having some relevance and maintaining that they just aren't thinking hard enough, or are repressing some important memory.

Statements of this type might include:

"I sense that you are sometimes insecure, especially with people you don't know very well."
"You have a box of old unsorted photographs in your house."
"You had an accident when you were a child involving water."
"You're having problems with a friend or relative."
"Your father passed on due to problems in his chest or abdomen."
If the subject is old enough, his or her father is quite likely to be dead, and this statement would easily apply to a number of conditions such as heart disease, pneumonia, diabetes, most forms of cancer, and in fact to a great majority of causes of death.

Psychics are children of Satan, and no child of God would call themselves such. Mediums, etc., are not of God. Prophets are sent by God, not psychics.
