We're really talking about two types of people here. People who are superstitious and believe psychics hold some supernatural ability that other people don't have. And people who understand that psychics are simply more attuned to the subtle energies of life and use them for guidance but not as the be all end all authority on their life.

What's the difference in understanding psychics are more attuned and believing psychics hold supernatural ability? Wouldn't thinking someone is more attuned also be believing they have extra ability that they themselves don't have?

I think there is a third type, btw. Those that see psychics as more attuned and think they can also do that (but haven't developed it), but somehow also give their power away with the readings.

No one should give their power to a psychic. I certainly don't encourage that. In fact, in many of the readings I do I begin training people on how to do this on their own.

glad to hear that, why not just do that and stop the readings?

Why give readings if the end product is to help people do it on their own?

My whole, and main point, is don't lump all psychics into the same group. We are not all the same.

But there is a whole big industry built on this psychics business. I think most of this thread is based on looking at the whole of the industry and effects on people.

I'm glad some people are able to find results with readings, if it works for them.

I just keep wondering why it works, or if it is indeed a form of entertainment that readers and sitters are playing a game of some kind.
