Are Psychics really weenies?
by Tamar George
One of my friends handed me a newspaper article about a psychic’s response to life, a cute editorial in USA Today. It didn't contain anything I didn’t know. It just quoted the psychic saying, “When I’m at a cocktail party and I say that I’m a psychic for a living , people right away think I can read their minds or they say, ‘Hey, what’s my future?’ and laugh sarcastically.” That got me thinking. I know what a stockbroker does, and an accountant. But why the confusion over what a psychic does?
I think it’s because we don’t have a National Organization for Psychics, a committee who establishes the guidelines for what the profession looks like. Also a forum to get rid of bad propaganda. For instance, why Saul wasn’t allowed to visit the Witch of Endor in the Bible. She told him that what he was acting upon in his life, was not going to have a favorable outcome. His children were already telling him that! So what was the big deal?
You might see now why there is so much misunderstanding and that psychics might each work differently.
I would also want to lobby for better looking infomercial's. From the latest batch it sounds like all we do is tell people that so and so is cheating on them.
There have been some interesting insights on the Internet about how to tell a good psychic from a bad one. I was glad to see that personal appearance wasn’t on the list. Some of us can dress pretty weird, so I’m happy that is not the basis of being a good or bad psychic.
So what would the criteria or check list be?
Well, I always think education is the first thing.
Being aware of the ground rules. Some psychics aren’t even aware that there are ground rules.
What are the ground rules?
People seeking advice are looking for that! Advice. Advice, according to Webster’s, is a recommendation regarding a decision or course of action; counsel, information. Okay, now look at the person you’re getting the advice from. How is their life? Is it working? Are they the example of the advice they’re giving?
You might believe they don’t have to be an example, because they are just receiving information from another source. They are intuitive!
Like a radio station, for example. They just tune in and start the show. Did you ever think they might be a FM station and are receiving AM programming? If you’re not living it, it is real hard to receive the information correctly. To understand the higher view in our example, the radio waves of spirit are always correct. The receivers are just not set up properly. Static is building.
How do you know when the psychic is giving out static? This is when a psychic is a weenie. It comes out in absolutes. This is absolutely going to happen, you must do this! Anything that sounds negative is negative! It is fear.
Spirit doesn’t work in absolutes or fear.
Spirit always gives choices. It doesn’t give time periods because Spirit doesn’t know time! It’s all happening at once for the spiritual realm. Spirit doesn’t give the future because you have free will. You can change your mind. That is the trouble with this planet; we are always changing our minds. Every one of us.
People often say, “But this psychic told me this was going to happen.” I would say, but who created it? This future was sitting there as a possible roadway to go down, but there were also fifty choices you didn’t see. It looked like a good probable reality. Yes, a guess.
Nothing is absolute, except your death and even then you might choose to hang on by a thread for years. Anyhow, it looked like the best guess and Presto!, it happened. My hope would be that you wanted it to happen that way.
You still have the free will to say no to any suggestion. I can’t tell you how much delusion (lies we don’t realize) exists. Things you told yourself were a full truth but, well, the lies had seeped in. We want to believe the future is set so we can control it. But if we really knew our future, we would be bored to tears at the prospects and probably go looking for Dr. Death. No, it’s the journey, the passage, the process, according to all the books and great gurus. It’s not the outcome.
It’s how you love along the way. That’s what it is about.
A good psychic advises you on the path.
These are blue roses which I saw in Spain.
The psychic encourages, never discourages.
Spirit will drop diamonds in front of you, magical information you didn’t know they knew! And believe me they know everything about you. You are not alone. That is a statement, I don’t even question.
You can have any information that would offer counsel to your life, but you will still have to make the choices. You won’t get to blame anyone else (even Spirit) for being wrong about your life.
Most people don’t want that responsibility. They want someone else to do it for them and when that doesn’t work, and it turns out so wrong, they dwell in anger. I have had a few hostile clients who did not want the self responsibility. In their minds, I was wrong or a bad psychic because they didn't get the answer they wanted. And the truth is, if I had lied and given them the answer, they still wouldn't have believed it? A victim chooses not to see.
Why do I do this? I get to see the results of encouragement, of being a cheerleader, of not taking another's power from them. Psychics don't have your answers. They have a perspective you might be able to gain some wisdom from.
In fact, I decided not to say that I'm not a psychic at the cocktail party anymore, like the lady in the USA Today article. I say that I'm a personal spiritual trainer, one who helps another get in shape to handle anything coming their way. And even more important than that, to teach them how to be psychic.
I learned from Spirit that I could do this. I went into training to be psychic. It isn't hard to do..but first you must learn the ground rules! (end of article)
What Are the Ground Rules for Psychics? (this is about prediction)
White rose in New York at the destruction site of Twin Towers
-my son's photo
My son took this picture on our visit to New York, we got as close as we could to the site to offer healing and prayer. The white rose symbolizes the highest attainment of spiritual development.
How do you know what is going to happen in the future? Did the people on 9/11 know? There are stories of those who dreamed of airplanes crashing into buildings? Who didn't go into the city that day.
Modalities of Prediction:
This article will always be timeless. Because any of the modalities of prediction, like tarot cards or ruin stones, which are just passage ways to stimulate in you what you already know. They are ancient teachings that are symbols for what is going on in the present. They do not predict the future. They are keys, like dream symbols from the subconscious, to the conscious. They do not predict the path way but show a path way for choices.
Free will (or) Predestination
What is that saying exactly? It is saying that freewill determines a path way. You come into this world with a blueprint. That blueprint contains what you would like to accomplish this lifetime. There are some things that you put in this blueprint that we would call predestined. But most of your decisions are free will choices and this is where the confusion lies. We know some things are predestined, but what things? Only when you get to know your self so well and your connection to Spirit so well, will you be able to figure that one out. But 95% of the time, the path way you are on is just a free will choice. It's not set path and you can change your mind and change your path way at any time. That is important to state right up front as to not take someone's power away.
Not taking someone's power away is giving the gift of what is blocking you in your subconscious from creating a better reality or being in the right place at the right time. I'm not the only one who can do this. You could also do this for yourself if you learn how to connect into spirit and learn how to communicate with Spirit at higher levels.
What you don't have in your life? What you don't have in your life is because you don't want it there -or it would be in your life. It isn't circumstances or fate because you create the circumstances and your beliefs, well, they are the fate. What do you believe is what I work with you to uncover.
How you create your desires?
You are *Energy and your beliefs attract to you what you think about. Because you are spiritual energy. That is like attracting like energy. Also the Universe/God/Source/Higher Power will collide with the beliefs you have. For instance, if you have negative beliefs, then you create the negative. If you have positive beliefs, you create the positive. I can predict the road you're on and the probability that if you make a left or right turn or get off the path your insistent on, you might avoid the huge boulders and ruts along the way. I'm not telling you what is happening, I'm telling you how you can get out of your way and create a better reality. The connection of Spirit that is working through me could be considered, the road sign or maintenance crew along the way. Spirit is holding up the detour sign. That big neon sign is the gift of this work. But the real gift of this work will be the day you are able to be so connected with that Spirit, that it gives right back to you, your own keys, your own profound messages and you recognize them.
Spirit Speaks -through Me and through you.
The language of Spirit is now available for everyone in the Millennium. It is the new energy of the age.
The old ways of prediction might mean that in the 1800's you would go and visit the shaman/witch doctor in the Indian tribe and seek advice. In the 1920's to 1960's it might be the medium, the tea leaf reader, the crystal ball gazer. Or farther back in time: I referred above in my article that Saul visited the witch of Endor in the Bible. How about the known fact that Alexander the Great visited Greece to see the Sibyl. The Sibyl was about 12 years of age who was drug induced with herbs and hypnosis. She was able to tap into her psychic abilities better that way. She got out of the way and because she was so young, she wasn't easily influenced with other knowledge like an adult would be. Anyhow she was able to give Alexander advice about his current situation that would influence his future.
What about Nostradamus? His books were selling like hotcake's after 9/11. Remember he lived at a time when he was not allowed to be a prophet. Speaking of old prophets, didn't our great book have them? And wasn't there a story about someone listening to God speak through a burning bush?
In the late 1920's there was a law put on the Pa state books by political religious fanatics that say's it is illegal for a person to pretend to tell the future for profit.
Well okay, but isn't that our stock brokers, our ________(fill in your own blank here)
Maybe even in your own family, maybe your mother or sister or aunt or uncle might have had intuition. It really isn't that out of the norm. I talk to people every day who tell me about their intuition. I'm sure you have had a brief glimpse of your intuition in your life. For instance, ever know who was on the phone? Isn't that predicting the future? The phone rings and you sense a person from high school or maybe a past love that has been in your thoughts for the last 20 minutes or two days. You pick up the phone and it's them.
However, I agree you shouldn't pretend anything for money, you better have the real thing. I also will state again, I don't pretend to predict anything. I don't know the future because it is based on I can change my mind at any moment and so can you. Free Will.
Predictions:
In the bookstore I work (in partnership with) before 9/11, in fact it was 9/01/01 or 10 days before 9/11. Anyhow, all the glass book shelves came crashing to the ground for no apparent reason. I witnessed it standing just a few feet away. There were 15 or so statues of Quin Yin the Eastern goddess of mercy. She had shards of glass through her decapitated plaster heads. 10 days later their were humans with that very same fate. I knew something big was about to happen, but what? And a 'big what' was my question? Why wasn't more information being given and how do you put a puzzle like that together? Sure, it's easy after the fact to say it had to do with 9/11. But why and why me?
I'm glad when spirit talks to me about things. For instance, driving home from Ohio. I heard my angel helpers, said, "slow down there will be a deer in the road, you are going too fast." There it was a free will choice. Do I take the advice and do something different then what I'm doing or do I rebell and continue on the path I'm insistant on. I have always chosen the guidance and so I slowed down and sure enough the two car's sped past me and were now ahead of me in frantic chaos. One of the car's hit the deer. My next and only choice was to drive up the middle of the highway between both of those cars and a very hurt deer. Whew! I shook a little and thought, I am so thankful angel helpers. Continuing, farther down the road, I said out loud in the car,...but guides, shhhh, you can't do that, you can't pretend to predict the future, it's against the law in Pennsylvania. We are almost over the border of Ohio driving into Pa. My angel helpers replied, "it wasn't the future that was predicted, it was the moment and we weren't pretending were we?"
Maybe in the spirit world to our world they are always predicting the moment. It's that time concept thing. (it's all happening at once in their big picture). There are only clocks that tell time on Earth. Maybe some moments can be changed and some moments are too big to change and some moments are in the blueprint and predestined not to change.
It's our challenge to figure it all out. Spirit when it is heard correctly can give the clues for one's life path. (read the below testimony's)
Money vs Ethics. Ego vs Morals.
The old energy required that Spirit give the information out to the psychic/shaman/tea leaf reader or in other time periods (500 years ago) the mentally ill were used to channel through. But spirit would use what was available for the highest good, so so humans would listen to the advice.
The new energy here and now is, that every one has available to them that gift of instant communication with Spirit. But that means a person has to believe they deserve to have that connection. Then they need to practice how to keep the connection going and gain the confidence that it really is spirit talking to them and not their lower self or ego. Here and now is the gift of intuition, it takes being responsible with the gift.
Some so called psychic readers go out and work with the public after taking a class in one of the shamanistic modalities, believing they are ready to handle the public. Sure, everyone has to start somewhere, but there are different levels of ability's. There are different levels of issues, even different levels of delusion. The delusion (lies they realize) is how they justify what they are doing? Sorry, I have sad stories that I've been told or actual experiences that greatly disturbed me.
The public demands that you give them something worth their time, what they want is hope and not your delusional information.
I knew someone else who was thinking of doing intuitive channeling and counseling. "Are you sure you're ready, I asked?" She answered that she was and that she knew how to read tarot, and in fact she had been reading for herself for years. She knew the symbols and she knew the insightful messages they portrayed. "No, I said, I'm sure you can read some cards, that isn't hard. I mean, what about your problems? You have authority issues, (she was arrested) you have alcohol addiction, (drinks everyday) you have huge relationship and communication issues. (always smoking a cigarette, talking negatively about other's and never has any long lasting relationships).
Healer Heal thyself.
Unfortunately, the Universe will tell you, healer you need to heal thyself. You are just not a good example for another, no matter what you 'say' until you have overcome your own shadow aspects and you can teach back to others through the acquired wisdom of overcoming. Doesn't mean you have to be perfect, it means you have to get honest with your self.
The Universe will let the psychic just talk away because all information is coming to the psychic first from Spirit and then out to the client. I'm sorry but that is true. So the information you get could be from the psychic's unclear filter. (this is important) Spirit always gives the truth. The person hearing it, cannot hear it if they do not live the truth. They still twist what they hear in their head. It's not...it's not Spirit saying that.
People who have cancer have to take another person with them to the doctor's office because they are so much in shock they don't hear what the doctor says. The other person get's to tell them the truth of what was said. The so-called psychic can be like that. They can be in shock from their own life drama's and not hear the truth that is being spoken to them by Spirit. Their radio station is getting static.
If the psychic tells the client they must do this, or have to do this. Then the Universe says, hmmmmm, we never give absolutes, we only give tools to empower, that psychic is not listening correctly, let us put that lesson in the psychic's path to see if they actually can understand this? I'm sorry this is such a soapbox, I have met some real characters out there, who have told me all sorts of crazy stories and were really toxic. I'm trying to educate other's and make sense of honestly helping people with the gifts of intuition. I'm tired of the infomercial's and people who cash in and are not responsible.
This is a gift that was given to me, I do my best to use it honestly and impeccably.
Well, you can see the peril the ones who think they might want psychic leadership just might be in for if they don't do their homework and really find out what they are responsible for. There is karma to learn.
Clients deserve the best.
The client deserves to have the best connection to Spirit that they can possibly have when they are knocking on the door and asking. The psychic needs to be an example of conscious integrity.
Truly, the time of this new energy, is for coaching, for personal Spiritual training, for Mentoring.
So what does this new psychic do if they don't predict the future or take your power away?
The new psychic tunes into spirit and gives you the best advice available around all the issues you have in your life. They give you homework to gain insight into you and then you can work toward and visualize your self in a better place in the future.
