Psychic: adj. describes a variety of super-natural events such as telepathy, extra-sensory perception, clairvoyance, spiritualist phenomena, psychokinesis, levitation, prophecy.
Clairvoyant: the psychic ability to ‘see’ in-ormation about living beings, objects or events without using the ordinary sensory means.
I’m sure my post today on psychic ability and clairvoyants will create controversy. It is after all, one of those topics that divide people by their beliefs.
For a long time I fell into the sceptic camp. I don’t suppose I had strong feelings either way – I’d never given it much thought. Then about 7 years ago I experienced something that over time would change my perspective and beliefs.
The event 7 years ago was a psychic reading. At the time I went along to support someone else who was at a crossroads in their life. We had heard amazing stories about the accuracy of this clairvoyant, who didn’t advertise and had bookings 6 months in advance. I thought it was a bit of a lark but the person I accompanied was deadly serious.
When it came time for my reading I was determined to remain stoic and emotionless (typical sceptic). I didn’t want to give anything away. My reader, let’s call her ‘Mrs X’ was jovial and friendly and easy to relax with. The session was for one hour and it was taped so I could listen to it again later on. I supplied one photo that contained my 8 immediate family members and my watch. Mrs X commented on the past, present and future. She described people’s natures and situations with such accuracy I had goosebumps. These were people she didn’t and couldn’t know. I had given her no personal details except my first name. Some of the things she told me were about the future and of little relevance at the time. I left the reading feeling slightly awed and uneasy, but I think the real surprises were to come several years later when events in our life mirrored those described in the reading.
More recently, our life has undergone some major and unexpected changes which we just accept as our life journey. Then a few days ago I remembered the discarded cassette (from that clairvoyant reading) that is stored in my ‘junk’ drawer. I haven’t thought about or listened to it for many years. To do so now, is just plain freaky. Unbelievably FREAKY!! The reading describes my life and those people in it, with uncanny accuracy... not just generalisations either.... but actual events. Too weird.
I always believed the accuracy of psychic predictions was grossly overrated and I still believe that the world is full of fakes preying on innocent people. But, sometimes there are just some things that can’t be explained and this is one of them. I’m not ready to rush off to another reading but for now, I’ll accept this one as being chillingly accurate.
Sceptic or believer – which one are you?
