Ever been in a dark place in your life to a point where you do not see the need of seeking help from your friends, a self-help group or a psychiatrist? As in that moment when you feel that you need a miracle? Or when you have reached your limit until you ask yourself “why me?” These are the points where we can actually take that advice we were skeptical about. It can also be a time where we might consider looking for a psychic, a spiritual advisor or a medium.
Regrettably, some or rather most of these so-called psychics are just frauds. It is unfortunate that they end up taking advantage of those who are desperate for answers. Since I was a child, I have always sought the help of a psychic and here is what I found.
It is for certain that legitimate psychics do not need to do queer things in order to get our attention. However, I cannot be sure that those who do queer things are ungifted but I am sure we cannot take advice from just anyone who declares themselves a psychic.
In some cases, many of them will ask you to lead a session. For instance, they will say something like “I feel there is darkness in you”. Thereafter they will convince you to ask them a question. When you do so, they will have enough information to choose from. Come to think of it, just think of how much information you can get from a person’s Google search history. However, these people are not psychic. All they do is give advice on that something they have no idea about.
Verbal advertising
We are often embarrassed by little things. For example, asking how many people have heeded advice from a qualified psychic. But we will find that actually many people have done this. These people can also refer you to their psychics. Hence, legitimate psychics do not need to advertise their work, the good services that they give will speak for themselves.
Apart from inquiring about psychics through word of mouth, you can also refer to online sources. You will find links to their personal websites and also notice a list of those who are well known. If you are patient enough, you can locate that psychic you are compatible with.
Shunning fraud psychics
Legitimate psychics will lead a session or give you an answer that will not shake you to the core. They will also not give you promises that they are unable to fulfill. The other “psychics” will demoralize you by giving you unfavorable answers just to take advantage of your money.
Professional psychics will give you both bad and good news because they want the session to be real. As in, they will give you an honest reading. Mostly, they will not mind if you ask them to follow up questions after the session. They will also not mind if you cut the session short. Plus, they will not withhold information about the death or an accident. If they do so, it will be considered unprofessional.
With any luck, all of the above will assist you whenever you want to locate a legitimate psychic. But at the back of your mind, know that psychics are just like any other person.
While I appreciate the intention behind this article, it fails to address the fundamental issue: psychics, by their very nature, are unscientific and preposterous. Seeking help from a licensed professional should always be the priority.
The historical context of spiritualism is fascinating! It’s worth noting that many societies have revered psychics throughout time, often as cultural custodians.
The juxtaposition of skepticism and belief in this discussion is quite intriguing. It raises profound questions about human vulnerability and our incessant search for meaning, even in dubious practices.
This article offers a profound insight into the murky waters of psychic consultation. It’s refreshing to see someone challenge the notion of blind faith in these ‘gifted’ individuals. Truly enlightening!
The article raises valid concerns regarding the credibility of psychics, yet it is crucial to approach such discussions with an open mind rather than outright dismissal.
‘Psychic’ comes from the Greek ‘psyche,’ meaning soul or mind—how fitting that this article reflects on human vulnerability and our quest for understanding ourselves.
“Legitimate psychics”? Isn’t that an oxymoron? The whole idea of relying on someone claiming supernatural abilities is simply farcical. Let’s just call it what it is: a money-making scheme.
While I appreciate the intention behind this piece, it seems overly simplistic to categorize all psychics as frauds. There are countless anecdotal experiences that defy your assertions.
The notion of finding compatibility with a psychic is almost comical! Imagine swiping right on an intuitive based on shared interests—what would that even look like?
“Verbal advertising” caught my attention—it’s fascinating how much psychological manipulation can occur in such settings. I wonder how much responsibility we hold for our own gullibility?
“Genuine psychics” sounds like a good name for a band! If only they could predict their own ticket sales!
This article sheds light on the often-overlooked realm of psychic readings. It’s refreshing to see an acknowledgment of both the potential benefits and pitfalls in seeking such guidance.
“Professional psychics will give you both bad and good news.” So basically they’re just glorified fortune cookies? Now that’s something I’d pay to read!
“Shunning fraud psychics” seems like a noble cause, but isn’t that akin to shunning used car salesmen? Deception exists in many forms across various professions.
Isn’t it amusing how we turn to psychics when we can’t even predict what’s for dinner? Maybe I should consult one about my dinner plans instead!
‘Some psychics are frauds’? Brilliant deduction! Next, you’ll tell me that not all clowns make children laugh.
You raise an interesting point, Sid. However, I believe that not all practitioners are out for profit; some genuinely wish to help others navigate their struggles.
‘Legitimate psychics do not need to advertise’? Ah, what a quaint notion! Just wait until you see their Instagram ads!
Anecdotes are not substitutes for empirical evidence, Sam. Just because someone believes they’ve had a genuine experience doesn’t mean it’s universally applicable.
@SarcasmMaster Why stop at clowns? What about magicians? I’m still waiting for them to pull something out of their hats that’s actually real!
@PunnyPete Perhaps they’re just conjuring illusions of competence along with rabbits.
‘Truth’ is subjective here, SkepticSam. The existence of legitimate psychics can be debated, but one must also consider psychological phenomena like the placebo effect.
