Psychic Readings

[Bring4th_Austin]

Hey Austin, now that it's been a few years, looking back at that experience, does anything new that's happened stick out as synchronistic to that psychic reading?

Ha, I forgot about this thread. I still think about that reading. I haven't been back to her at all since, but her legitimate ability has been validated through some pretty interesting readings with friends.

I did subsequently see two other psychics, though. More out of a sense of curiosity rather than guidance (which probably isn't the best reason to dabble in such magical things). One was an intuitive tarot reader at a psychic fair we went to soon after I had this initial reading and there were some correlations between the two readings that were quite impressive. Both the initial psychic and the tarot reader had the same story about my past lives and my purpose here in this life.

The other psychic I saw was a pet psychic who claimed to communicate with deceased pets. I also just went to her out of curiosity without much expectation, but my canine best friend was recently deceased. I know that this is a tired trope of people who see psychics, but she legitimately knew something about his life that was highly unusual and couldn't have been a result of some sort of cold reading. The message she delivered was not cryptic and would not be relevant to most pet owners. It gave me a great sense of comfort.

But, looking back at that original reading, even though she was very accurate about my past and present (at the time of the session), none of what she said I had in store for the future has really manifested. It does not surprise me, because I know prophecy is a finicky thing. Either she had tapped into a probability that simply didn't unfold or she misinterpreted whatever sort of communication she was receiving. I think that a lot of people go to psychics looking for predictions and foresight, so a lot of psychics sort of force that kind of stuff into their readings. It's a fun sort of parlor trick that probably draws people in.

But I think their value is more in their ability to offer insight into our natures and our journeys that we aren't conscious of. The way that the psychic framed my journey of incarnations and purpose here in this life has greatly affected my perspective on my life. It gave me a new context for things that I struggle with and has helped me to see certain lessons in a more useful light.

So, in regards to predictions, I'd say nothing really meaningful has manifested. But it was useful to me for all of the other reasons.
