A friend had a question, so she called several psychic readers to see what they could pick up. Rather than asking her question outright, she instead let each tell what they saw for her. One reader told her to be very careful that someone very close would betray her. Another told her she would have tension with her partner and might split. The third told her that illness would play a large part of next year for her. All three got her attention. And they also got her continuing business. She’s a smart woman, but each reader hit home emotionally. That’s when her wallet comes out. Although she has no health problems, she automatically began wondering what her illness might be. She began going over in her mind every little twitch and twang, and making herself sick over it. She began keeping an extra eye on her friends, and checking up on her partner, all of which caused tension. And, of course, she kept paying the readers for updates and clarifications.
When she got to me and told me her story, we first had a chat about self fulfilling prophecies, probable outcomes and unethical readers whose practice depends on planting ideas in your head that you start worrying about, so they can rescue you… at an ongoing price. But not all readers are charlatans. Some are absolutely real, accurate and helpful. Some are kind hearted and intend to be helpful but may not have the info or skill to do so. Then there is the fact of every thought of everyone being filtered through their emotional and mental bodies before it comes out as words to you. You can’t know the nature nor extent of these filters. So the question becomes: when you go to a psychic reader, how do you know they are reading your future rather than reading through a filter of their own issues? Are they reading the akashic record for the future event, or are they reading your thoughts about the future event? Since we always find what we seek, how much of prediction is self fulfilling prophecy?
