glad you see that as a cool possible future of human kind.

Everyone is psychic but not everyone wants to spend hours a day developing it, just as everyone has muscles but not everyone wants to spend 3 hours in the gym every day becoming a body builder or personal trainer. I don't want to call a plumber when my pipes burst but I also don't want to learn how to be a plumber for those odd times when my pipes burst. I don't want to become a doctor, a mechanic, a mover, a therapist, etc. So when I need someone, I call a professional who's been working in their field for a long time.

In these analogies there would be a comparable life situation that requires having psychic information, right? In other words, having your pipes burst and not knowing what to do about it has a similar circumstance that would require going to a psychic. Is that true?

Is that the view of what a reading is for - that eventually everyone needs some psychic info and since no one spends time being intuitive they need to go get a reading?

Or if you look at fitness as an example one could conclude getting readings actually atrophies one's latent psychic abilities.

Why does it work? It's not some form of entertainment, at least not for me, and other legitimate psychics. It's the product of long hours, hard work, and learning to develop a skill that normally lies dormant in others.

Well it's more a question of how to make it work for me. I used to think, ok if I could just get a good reading I'll know what to do. That there's extra information that a psychic could look up that would help me. Like looking for a short cut or loop hole or advantage to better myself. I don't think there is something like that now. One still has to work internally to change. Getting a bunch of information does not change you. And I'm not sure how much it points you either. Aren't most readings just - "oh yeah that's what I thought and was going to do"

I don't know, maybe it's me, but even if I hear different perspectives or info like "if you do that you will have this experience", I still was left with my own life to decide about and take actions. Or make a decision based on this info in faith, which is a giving away power.
