Phone Psyhics/Mediums?

$144 an hour? You can bring your struggles to God for free. I will keep you & your loss in my thoughts and prayers <3

Whatever happens or whatever you do, I hope you find peace and comfort.

Wow that's quite expensive IMO. Are there any other mediums in the area? If you lie it definitely affects the reading. There are pretty legit psychics IMO but you have to do a bit of research first before going in. Whereabouts are you located? There is this show I used to watched before "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_Medium" but I'm not sure whereabouts you are located so if you are close to this area maybe you can give her a try or maybe bump into her or something.

15 years ago one of my aunts died and the doctors told us that it was because of UTI infection. My uncle couldn't believe that she just died of that, he believed that there was someone who did witchcraft/sorcery on her (mind you Filipinos are into supernatural stuff so it was pretty common to seek a psychic/healer). So they went to a medium first and the medium said that she was killed by a witch who was paid for by one of the women that liked my uncle. I didn't believe in this as I was always skeptical, but months after my aunt died, this same woman showed up at my uncles place asking him to be with her and if she doesnt get what she wants she will tell a witch to curse our entire family. My uncle wasn't scared of her so he said "do it and I will make sure you never walk this earth ever again." I think she got scared I don't know.

I always watch that show! She's definitely made me a believer...

Several points I can think of.. -firstly, it seems to be a rule of thumb, that the more a psychic charges, the less genuine they seem to be...a genuine one will wish to help, if they choose and not need your credit card no.

Also, I would be examining the reason for the need to visit a medium. Do you have a message to pass on or need received? Unresolved guilt or other emotion? It could well be that the problem lays within you, and contacting a spirit (whether genuinely or not) could be the best thing whatever it costs, if it clears your emotional paths. It may well be that the spirit gives not a fuck about what it left behind, and has moved right along.

Diamonds, I am not sure where you are I suspect on a shaky island, but if you want to PM I have a friend in Mandurah (ex kiwi) who knows a bit about this sort of thing, she may be able to help you some more...

I just want closure. I don't know. I want answers. I want.. something.

Sorry if this is tl;dr, I just really need to get this off my chest right now.

The whole card test is just another example of how psychics are not understood. They can't predict on command, the information comes to them at random. It's not like in hollywood where the beautiful blonde psychic detective shows up at the police station and tells them the whole story. They often don't have a choice over what they receive. Reading people, objects, or situations brings a flood of various details, some of it succinct and comprehensible and other times it's just wtf. "Psychic" just means extremely sensitive. They are likely picking up on things beyond the normal threshold of human senses. When it comes to the future, they are often given images or messages that don't make complete sense until the event itself has transpired. Saying that psychics can't exist because of a card game is so incredibly short sighted.

I guess the only way to shed more light on this is to divulge some personal details. I realize I'm opening myself to all kinds of heckling here but sometimes it just has to be done.


You're talking about psychics who are in it for the money, which is ignoring the entire other realm of special abilities that exist in every day mundane people. I didn't even know that seeing auras is uncommon until I happened to be talking about it in front of someone else who could also see them, and then we compared notes. I grew up in a haunted house with a Catholic family who was constantly trying to deny that there was a creepy old dead man walking the halls at night, slamming doors, clawing the walls, etc. I don't do dead people - I'm aware that they're there and sometimes they have things to say but they are pretty much uninvited into my life. Some sensitives are into that shit but I just don't do it. Life is for the living and dead people can just deal with it. If I'm about to enter a building that feels like it's crawling with restlessness or creepy, clingy dead people, I will simply not enter it.

There are other people in my family who have similar abilities to me so my assumption is that there is a genetic basis for these heightened perceptions / different filtering systems, etc. Science takes a lot for granted in assuming that everyone shares the same basic perceptions when in reality it's always going to be a spectrum. Most of the population falls in a predictable range while a slim percentage fall outside of it, and an even smaller percentage (like Edgar Cayce) fall in the extreme subtle range.

I'm a psychic and I have nothing to prove to you. I'm not trying to make money or self-aggrandize, and this is generally something I keep 100% to myself because the majority of the population at large is either indifferent or hostile. And it's North America and Western Europe that seem to have the biggest beef with it. Everywhere I've been in the world, people are not only open to it but they encourage me to share my insights with them.

You can really believe whatever you want, it has no relevance to my life. If we hung out in person you would just see how weird and inexplicable my life is, but trying to teach you these things over the internet is like trying to tell a person who has been blind their whole life what colour might look like. If you don't have the sense then there's no point in trying to convince you it's real. My issue here is you showing up in this thread to bulldog it with pseudoskepticism. The OP is not asking about whether or not psychics are real but if the price they are being asked to pay for psychic services is too high.

You're asking me to prove something scientifically which, according to material reductionism - the foundation of modern science - can't possibly exist. I don't perform on command and I can't force you to step outside of your mental confines to be open to something that truly operates outside of your model. Of the real psychics I've met, none of them would subject themselves to hostile testing because a) they have experienced alienation from the world their entire lives due to not being able to relate their experiences to 99% of the human population, b) the experimenters are likely going to treat them like they are frauds, liars, delusional, potential psych patients, or just unbelieveable right from square one before testing even happens (even if it's not said, we can FEEL your disgust, and that will affect the testing process), c) many are incredibly sensitive introverts and the lens of scrutiny would be intolerable, and d) most of us just have nothing to prove to you.

I'm not going to go to science. Science can come to me. For us it's like looking at a dog trying to understand how to drive a car. You're not going to get it through your intellectual mind. You'll have to delve into a lot of ancient texts and move beyond your narrow epistemology in order to be able to start grasping just how this works. When material reductionists in the west open their square little left-brains to the world of non-materialism I will be more than happy to go over the fine details of my unusual existence with them. Until then, they can keep dealing with people who wish they were psychic but aren't, and believing that we're all just quacks. They are never going to attract the real deal because the real deal wants nothing to do with them.

James Randi... lol. I would never want to be in the same room as the guy, or Richard Dawkins. They reek of stagnant, closed minded, old man energy. Their field of rejection is so high that they won't even see results if they are staring them square in the face. I would much rather deal with people whose creativity and spiritual faculties are at least remotely in tact.

If you're psychic, can you help me? Are you a medium? Can you connect with those who have passed? Could you do it over the phone? Skype?
 
holy shit foreigner that post is so profound to read; i am truly taken aback by it. Great work, i'm glad there are people like you in this universe,

No. No. No. No. And no. (In that order.)

I can connect you with someone else I know but I don't do that shit, as I said. I'm not for hire either.

As others have said in this thread, you probably need therapy, not a psychic. Sorry to be harsh but your dead friend is gone and you just have to deal with it. The more you cling the less likely they are to move on. It's selfish. Assuming they are even still around and haven't crossed over, the only way they're going to move on is if you stop grasping at them with your needy inability to accept death as part of life. You can't continue this relationship with them. Their work here is done.

Know that they can find peace and encourage them to go there. Don't encourage them to stick around just because you can't deal. If they have unfinished business that's another story, you can't control that. But it sounds like you are seeking an interaction where one is not warranted.

See a shrink. Keep the spiritual mumbo jumbo out of it.

Thanks. I didn't mean to make this thread about me though. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes.

i think more people need to speak up against this blind trust in science and empiricism or materialism reductionism (as opposed to esotericism or something along those lines), there are few people who speak out against reductionism or the scientific method nowadays and it's refreshing to hear on BL at the very least. If anything i greatly value hearing your views on such things whether relevant to the OP or not.

As for the OP; i agree with Foreigner, you have to learn to let go and find faith in some system of beliefs that will give you peace and harmony in your life so that you can function and move on. I have dealt with death plenty myself and i understand how hard it can be at first to accept this but time will heal all wounds and an open mind with critical thinking will lead you in the right direction.

I think the blind trust is the problem and not science. People get lost in the glitz and glamour of modern science and submit to it completely, but forget just how primitive our understanding of the world truly is.
 
Let's say they ARE real..

Do you believe psychics/mediums can do their job over the phone? To connect with spirits... do they need to be "in the area"..?? Does that make sense?

Also, if I DO go through with it.... should I lie about my name?

After an appeal from the OP I am giving this thread another chance.

There will be no discussion about psychic vendors allowed here.

The question being posed is about in-person psychics vs. phone psychics. If people have experiences they'd like to share about that, then feel free.
 
Pretty d I'm not sure if you know the difference between a psychic and a medium but in my understanding a medium is someone who can channel from the dead while a psychic has a heightened sensitivity but does not have the ability to connect with the dead. If you are going to go for an appointment be sure to go to a medium. As per my previous post, my uncle went to a medium and found his answer. I did go to a psychic years ago but none of the readings came true or where even true. It really is up to you if you have a belief that you will be able to connect with your love one but I hope you consider therapy as per the previous posts. Good luck and I hope you find peace and the answers you are looking for.

Then they really have no business charging money for it. Would you want to be operated on by a surgeon who is really good when the moon is full but often kills his patients when it isn't? Why is it OK to excuse a psychic when that kind of unprofessionalism wouldn't be tolerated in any other field?

Pretty_Diamonds said:
ALSO, I'm afraid to provide my full name because the death shows up in a google search.. should I lie? Will it affect the reading? My friend says it sounds like I'm trying to sabotage the reading... but I just want validation that it's real.
Click to expand...

There is no validation. That's the trick behind this business. On the other side of the coin, there were people who saw Houdini perform numerous times and refused to believe his tricks were free of hocus pocus even though Houdini was upfront about the nature of them.

I just want closure. I don't know. I want answers. I want.. something.
Click to expand...

So you should go to a therapist who will help you find the answer to why you need closure. When you know why, you'll be close enough to figure the rest out yourself. Don't forget that this is your issue. Closure is illusory. There are reasons and realities. Once you learn how to deal with your new reality any other answers won't even matter.
 
thujone, this thread is not about whether or not psychics are real. Stay on topic - I will not remind you or anyone else again. There is another thread currently active that can be used to discuss the issues you bring up .

Yeah, I know. I just mix them because usually people inter change them. I watch long-island medium. Lol. That's actually what got me into it but blah. I even emailed her like, come here on vacation... and helpp me. (so desperate/pathetic).

I'm going to a rather well-known local psychic. She's a semi-medium. I don't really know. But she like doesn't ask you any questions so they say to be prepared WITH questions because she's just like keep talking like diarrhea. Also they say to make sure to follow up with questions if you don't understand because she'll talk about your past lives, future, present, spirit guides, and give messages from passed ones. I don't know. She's SUPER famous over here--like 3-4 month waiting list.

I understand the concept of "closure" and how you don't ever really get closure. You just get better at dealing with it. But there are so many questions I have.. that I can't find in myself (which is what therapy is).

& Thanks Maya, you're a real sweetheart.
 
144.00 is expensive for a psychic, but I guess it depends on how long the session is. If it is an hour then that is pretty good. There are lots of places to go to look of psychics.

Yes psychics are real, we all have psychic abilities, just some more than others. Pretty Diamonds if you are struggling with a loss it might be better for you to look inside yourself to heal. A psychic can see the possible outcomes to your situation so, depending on how you live your life will be the outcome that is perceived. If he/she tells you that in 2 weeks you will have something bad happen....then it is likely that in 2 weeks something bad will happen. This is because you are now focused on something bad happening. What you need to do is change the way you think....check out the mp3's at this place....www.brainwaveandcrystals.com

These audios take you into a meditative state which is where you can begin to heal your spiritual body and emotional body, but there are also alot of others that help with other areas of your life. It is more than just going into a meditative state, but you can read all about it on the site, it would be better explained than I could here.

I used to rely on psychics to help me with the next move in my life....but now I can do that on my own....I just go deep within and connect with source, and can usually find the answers there....good luck!
 
Remember our PM's Pretty Diamond (if i didn't just dream them up)
