Every now and then we get messages from readers expressing that they have been reached by a psychic. These psychics let them know they have some kind of abhorrence substance or condemnation on them that is keeping them from being fruitful in affection, cash and even well being. Typically taking after this announcement is their solicitation for their administrations to free you of this substance or curse and for a weighty charge! Don’t do it!
We all have disappointing love affairs, letdowns, sporadic depressions and money problems from time to time. This is called life and living the human condition. I have no problem going to a reputable psychic and having them do a reading for me to offer guidance, but this other situation is a fishing expedition from an unknown, and more than likely un-credible, “psychic”. Even if a psychic could see an entity in your energy field, no payment of service is going to remove it! Psychics sense beyond the ordinary senses but I don’t know of any reputable ones who say they can 
eradicate the entity or curse. That is not being a psychic. That is being a witch doctor. If we are so negative that we’ve attracted a negative being, then some hard questions need to be asked in the first place as to how this happened. It’s not normal to have dark forces cling to us so deeply that this effect surfaces in our life. Remember, like attracts like. This of course is separate from being in a place that is already occupied with a dark spirit, such as a haunted house. But in that case, we can just remove ourselves from the location.
I know of no hard evidence that curses are real. Humans generally create their own misery and don’t need demons and curses to blame their situation on. If we are in a mess, we should probably spend more time looking at how we got there. More than ill luck, it’s usually poor planning, procrastination, lack of self-control or the inability to make changes when change is needed. It would be so easy to say it’s a curse and then poof, it’s lifted and life is good. More than likely it’s you who has created the situation and after you’ve paid the cash for curse removal, you’re going to find you’re still stuck with you. If anything, a curse is a fear tactic used by the person giving the curse. Who wouldn’t feel a little nervous if some old woman with a gnarled finger and sharp nose shouted some curse at us? But this is old ideas and old beliefs that should be put back on the bookshelf along with the one about Hansel and Gretel.
Psychics give guidance, not cures. There is no real cure outside of yourself when it comes to personal development. Even a therapist is going to make you walk through your own life-steps and make the behavioral modifications needed to improve your situation. The work is always placed on us. When we give our power away we’re not acknowledging this and in the end, will be taken advantage of and no better off.
If you still feel you’re the victim of a curse or negative being, there is plenty of material on-line (and for free) about how to eradicate this through positive thoughts, light work, healing the blocked or damaged chakras that may have caused the “opening” and so on. In other words, you have all the power you need to fix this yourself.
‘Psychics give guidance, not cures.’ A rather ironic assertion coming from an article that aims to cure our minds from believing in curses! Isn’t it just delightful how humans complicate their own existence?
An interesting perspective! However, I can’t help but feel that dismissing people’s beliefs outright is counterproductive. The psyche is a complex realm; sometimes there are nuances we fail to acknowledge.
The interplay between personal responsibility and external influences remains a fascinating discussion in both psychology and philosophy. One must ponder: where does personal agency end and fate begin?
‘Like attracts like’—a powerful reminder for introspection! We must confront our own shadows instead of attributing our misfortunes to external forces like curses.
This article beautifully encapsulates the essence of self-accountability. It’s refreshing to see a voice of reason amidst the cacophony of supernatural claims. Life is indeed a tapestry woven from our choices, not curses!
In a world rife with uncertainties, your insights offer solace! Empowering individuals to take charge resonates profoundly with me; we all hold the key to our destinies.
Oh great, another article telling me my problems are my own doing! Next thing you know they’ll say I can’t blame Mercury in retrograde either.
‘Delightful’ might be overstating it—it’s more like tragic comedy at its finest! We often forget that skepticism can lead us down a rabbit hole of its own.
Exactly! At this rate, we’ll have to take full responsibility for everything—even for stepping on gum!
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, QuantumDancer, let’s not dismiss the experiences of those who genuinely believe they’ve been cursed. Personal agency is important, but so are empathy and understanding.
Agreed! But I wonder if there’s more to psychic phenomena than we can scientifically measure. Perhaps we should keep an open mind about the mysteries of the universe!
This piece reads like a self-help manual disguised as an exposé on charlatans—kudos for shedding light on such scams! Who knew enlightenment could be so entertaining?
