What do you all think?

Post by **little_angel_204** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 10:00 am

I was just wondering what you all think of clairvoyants and mediums, I myself, have a great respect to those who use it to help others. Let me know what you think, I know its really random, but I have been going to see a good friend of mine and his colleague once a week for a month or two now and find it amazing the way they can do it. Also, I have been reading one of Doris Stokes' book - Voices. Apparently she was one of the greatest mediums of all time

I do believe in it, but really wouldn't want to go to one myself as I'm sure it would make me change the future. Hope that makes sense, but I think knowing what is going to happen actually makes you make it happen - if you know what I mean.

Yea, i know what you mean, but to be honest. i dont really think it makes you change your future, they cant tell you what is going to happen in the future, sometimes they may just give you a glimpse into what is going to happen, maybe give you warnings and stuff. I think that there job is to help others, and help them to believe there is life after death. The 1st time i went to see these guys it actually changed my life, it just made me think x

anyway, its good to have honest opinions!

In what way did it change your life?

Most of the evidence points to their being extremely good observers of body language and other physical signs, combined with a great ability to 'fish' for information from the person visiting them, during their readings.

James Randi has demonstrated this many times, giving accurate readings without claiming clairvoyancy - in fact he has offered a prize to anyone who can prove that it actually exists.

I once did tarot readings for friends, who told me how accurate I was - I was using a standard textbook on the cards, and reading their 'traditional meaning'!

Then I just interpreted them according to the feedback I was getting from my 'victim'.

Like you Stan, I used to be really cynical when it came to clairvoyants - then I went to visit one who changed my opinion! It was about a month after my mother died - this clairvoyant told me things about my mother and late grandparents that no-one else could possibly have known

Something happend a few years ago, dont really want to go into it but i was always closed in, i went and he told me that i cant blame myself anymore, its not my fault and to show emotion when it was happening instead of holdin everything in (it went on longer than that but it was 2 years ago, i cant remember everything).
I walked out of there with tears of relief rolling down my face. Its changed my way of thinking about what had happend. I think it was after that happened, i started to see my nana.

hope that makes you see the reason i believe x

[face=Comic Sans MS]L_A - I'm not saying there are not people out there with special gifts, but there are also many more who claim to have gifts and make a lot of money through these claims.

From what you have written it is very much the sort of thing I and many would say in certain given situations, especially knowing a bit about the background or emotional state of the person. I make no claim to be clairvoyent but I am, or so I am led to believe, a good observer and listener with the ability to empathise. Many others have the same qualities too and can read into a situation and use it for good or bad, that does not make them clairvoyants either.

I am glad for you that on this occasion you found some peace and reassurance, but I hope you do not need to find it in such a way again.[/face]

We live in a universe not a world and we cannot explain the wonders of this amazing universe. I am sure that there are other senses which we have yet to develop fully, including clairvoyancy and telepathy amongst many others.
