Any recommended psychics/spiritual readers?

[AdonRy]

Hello all.

I wanted to share an experience I had with this psychic recently, and open up the discussion if there's any psychics that you would recommend.

I've never saw a psychic before, so I went online to see if there was any reputable places near me. I came across a guy who lives in Jersey, but he does distance readings. I didn't even know that was possible at the time! I just assumed you had to be in the same room or something.

His name is Anthony and his site is _http://readingsbyanthony.com/. All he needed was my name and DOB. I sent a request for a general email reading (no specific questions). And what I received back was so personal and so accurate, there's no question about the validity of it. Since then i've gotten a past life reading and a few questions about if I was a healer in my past life, etc. It's personal but i'm willing to share parts of it if anyone is interested.

I don't know the guy personally and don't get anything from mentioning his site, but I wanted to share his info for anyone who may be looking for a reliable spiritual reading. And affordable prices. I think i paid 25 bucks for the general email reading, and another 25 for 3 questions. I can't remember how much the past life reading was, but I was allowed to ask one question with that as well.

So does anybody have any similar stories, or have a reliable psychic they could recommend?

Thanks guys.

Hi AdonRy, your post sounds a lot like an advertisement, just so you know.

We don't really recommend psychics here, since it has very little to do with the Work and most psychics who charge money for readings aren't worth the money spent on them. I'm not saying that there are not exceptions - I'm sure there are - but, across the board, it's pretty much a psychological ploy to make money.

Have you read the Wave and Adventure Series yet? Are you familiar with any of the works of G.I. Gurdjieff? These are the things this forum is based on and there is a lot of very, very valuable information within them that can help a person gain insight that blows away the average 'psychic'. fwiw.

I agree with Anart. I just went to his site. Whenever someone says "I have been blessed with a connection to angels and spirit, and I wish to help any soul, any way I can", that should be a red flag indeed. What angels? What spirit? If you haven't read the Wave series, I too think you will find it extremelly helpful. Some people, "psychic" or not, can do a lot of damage even with the best of intentions. In the end, ignorance is the culprit. So I would be very careful if I were you.

Not only that, but the thing is, going to a psychic can be considered "cheating", I think. There are things that we'd better figure out on our own. I don't know anything about that psychic in particular. He might be gifted or not. But even if he is, what is the motivation behind going to a psychic anyway? Skipping lessons perhaps? Impatience? Wanting to know things without "paying our rent on life"? Once you get familiarized with the forum and what it is based on, I think you might be surprised at the amount of answers that are right there within you and this network, if you are willing to see.

I think a distinction is to be made between esoterism and the occult/magic/whatever. Many people are confused because when you go to a library, everything is so mixed under the so called esoteric section. Esoterism is the study and the work over the self and its essence, the soul.

Psychics and other practitioners are just selling the sensational about external phenomena. In any action one has to ask itself: "what for?". What is the point of seeing someone (and to pay him!!) who has so-called psychic phenomena? What do we learn from it? What is the benefit for our consciousness, our being, or our soul? Absolutely nothing.

We can learn so much from other sources that nature provides to us. It is all around. Being distracted by funny phenomena is like going to a circus and missing time to live and to learn. Maybe it is the predator mind who wants us to be distracted by these phenomena.

The occult people usually end up in the same place. So one has to choose between advancing, or being distracted in the same place :)

If a 'psychic' builds an online website AND charges money AND talks about how he/she has spirit guides and angels, in the guise to 'help souls', well it's his/her Job. It is either their livelyhood or their 'extra spending money.'

They are not trying to help souls, they are making a living. You might look through your reading and see if there are any inconsistencies. Most of the time people who receive readings ignore the stuff that doesn't make sense, and hone in on the things that make them 'look good or feel good.' It's an ego feeding.

A 'psychic' wanting your name can easily search the internet for your name, location, facebook page, find your website, your email address, and know you practice Reiki. Then by your birthdate can figure out 'your sign.' If you are contacting him, you also likely have read your horoscope, which means if your a say a Sagittarius, then they focus in on what you already may believe about yourself. They add the numbers of your birthday up to get the numerology (which if you are contacting a psychic, then you've already read your numerology also.) By your age, they can get a general feel for your generation, your general likes and dislikes.

It's feeding the ego, that's it. And you fed him with giving him money and reinforcing his 'skill.' That way if he wants a testimonial, well you'll jump right in and say how perfect the reading went. Then others get sucked in.

See how this works?

I'm not saying there are no such thing as psychics, but true psychics don't charge money, and also doesn't try to change ones path one direction or another. I've never met one like that. If there are, they are probably working for the Powers That Be anyway.

Edit for: an additional detail.
Ediited again for the spelling of Reiki.

Regardless of whether the psychic's ability is true to what is claimed, the truth is there's no shortcut to true existence.

There's no substitute for work.

Simple concept, but difficult to accept in the default mode.

 

[RedFox]

Another question you may or may not want to ask is, how much work had the psychic (presuming they are) done on themself? How 'clean' are they?

For all we know the source of there 'ability' could be spirit attachments, 4D STS (feeding on and diverting his clients souls growth into entropy) by the data and 'advise' they give, or something much worse. Who's to say this person isn't on a path of entropy anyway? Taking such things to heart (from such a person on an entropic path) would damage someone who's on the path of the creative/active side of creation.

Buying (as in accepting without question/analysis) information from others is effectively giving away your will/essence. Without questioning it lies creep in and you are 'fed upon' by your own choice to 'believe without question'.
Religions, new age guru's, scam artists, politicians etc - all rely upon there followers to 'believe without question'. Initially those seeking it get a buzz/hit from the interaction, but in the end (even if they still feel the person was 'a great guy') they are left feeling slightly empty (if there is anything left to notice....).

Ever wonder why it gives you a buzz/fills you up, but eventually makes part of you feel empty? Why you are always looking for the next 'hit' (psychic experience)? I'd suggest part of continually seeking these things is an addiction.

From my personal experience, many years ago, going to a psychic was interesting as the guy wasn't mincing his words and did not especially think in New agey terms still I don't think it helped in any aspect of my life at all.

He was very accurate for some past events and other things were definetly wrong but I always considered that a psychic was just seeing things as they were in the moment and would not be able to see that much in the future because people make snap decisions and it would change the course of events.
Now that I know that if you did not clean up yourself from attachments that what comes out of any psychic or channel can be very distorted and damageable, I would not trust what I hear.
I think it may be hard for some to let go of what should be for what could be, especially if the psychic tells you about the many great things that will happen to you (or not).
It removes you from any kind of responsability in your actions for what may or may not happen to you osit.

Hi Ryan!

I see alot of people are "slamming" the psychic question. I don't want to do that; here's my thoughts and opinion on the subject, having been to psychics in the PAST, and more than once....I tend to agree with Tigersoap. The readings I've had were sometimes interesting, but in the end, they did not help me in any sense in the "long run" and in my personal development. It's uses are very limited. It also costs money better spent elsewhere. Looking back, I now see it's kind of a self-absorbed activity, hence STS. Read "Secret History of the World", "The Wave", etc....(I haven't read the Grail series yet, since I am still a newbie). I have Giurdjeff, Castenado, Fucanelli and others on my reading list as well. Trust me, I think you will one day look back as I am now doing, and not feel the "need" to see a psychic anymore. There is so much to learn to move forward! Good Luck to You.

If possible, could you please point out exactly what you found "slamming" in this thread?

Perhaps ona.alicia equates objective feedback with 'slamming'? Or perhaps she didn't mean it how it sounds?

I guess this reply is directed to Obyvatel on asking

Like anyone in this world, there are the good and the bad in any profession/realm. While I have discovered is that utilizing the services of a psychic for myself may have helped some at the time, but it ultimately was not helpful towards my "progress" in life and is, in fact STS, and I let that go quite awhile ago. However, there seems to be judgement (slamming) on this psychic and what they do:

anart: "..., it's pretty much a psychological ploy to make money."

Ailen: "I agree with Anart. I just went to his site. Whenever someone says "I have been blessed with a connection to angels and spirit, and I wish to help any soul, any way I can", that should be a red flag indeed. What angels? What spirit?"

Dawn: "If a 'psychic' builds an online website AND charges money AND talks about how he/she has spirit guides and angels, in the guise to 'help souls', well it's his/her Job. It is either their livelyhood or their 'extra spending money.'

They are not trying to help souls, they are making a living."

There are a couple of other remarks, but you get the drift. Now, there are people who "help others" and charge money, because yes, they have to eat, as it is a STS dimension, after all. But who is to say they are not helping souls in some way by doing this? We can agree that it seems that many of us are past using a psychic because it actually isn't helping our development, but there is no sense trying to judge another's reality or profession. Yes the wrong psychic could be harmful, but so could the wrong doctor, dentist, etc. Also, if someone becomes "addicted" to psychic predictions; well, that's certainly not healthy either, like any addiction.

We all have our own realities and think ours is the correct one, but I am not going to say another person's is 'wrong' as it seems counterintuitive to what I've learned through this site and Laura's books, so far. If I feel psychics aren't helpful, I just don't go to them. Everyone is on different parts of the path. Maybe people need to experience a "psychic" in order to distinguish what works for them vs. what does not and then they can then move on. Maybe the "psychic", if they have true ability, needs to follow this path for a little while, until they realize that their "gifts" are best utilized in a better way. Who's to say? The best answers that I read for Ryan were the ones that said "why" going to a psychic didn't help them personally, without attacking the psychic or the "profession". Thanks for listening.

If the wrong doctor or dentist were harmful, would you want someone to warn you about it even if it was difficult to accept?

Re: Any recommended psychics/spiritual readers?

Here is something interesting from the book "Tea-cup Reading And Fortune-Telling By Tea Leaves" - A Highland Seer :

It seems highly probable that at no previous period of the world's history have there been so many persons as there are at the present moment anxious to ascertain in advance, if that be humanly possible, a knowledge of at least 'what a day may bring forth.' The incidence of the greatest of all wars, which has resulted in sparse news of those from whom they are separated, and produces a state of uncertainty as to what the future holds in store for each of the inhabitants of the British Empire, is, of course, responsible for this increase in a perfectly sane and natural curiosity; with its inevitable result, a desire to employ any form of divination in the hope that some light may haply be cast upon the darkness and obscurity of the future.

It is unfortunately the case, as records of the police-courts have recently shown, that the creation of this demand for foreknowledge of coming events or for information as to the well-being of distant relatives and friends has resulted in the abundant supply of the want by scores of pretended 'Fortune-tellers' and diviners of the Future; who, trading upon the credulity and anxieties of their unfortunate fellow-countrywomen, seek to make a living at their expense.

Now it is an axiom, which centuries of experience have shown to be as sound as those of Euclid himself, that the moment the taint of money enters into the business of reading the Future the accuracy and credit of the Fortune told disappears. The Fortune-teller no longer possesses the singleness of mind or purpose necessary to a clear reading of the symbols he or she consults. The amount of the fee is the first consideration, and this alone is sufficient to obscure the mental vision and to bias the judgment. This applies to the very highest and most conscientious of Fortune-tellers—persons really adept at foreseeing the future when no taint of monetary reward intervenes. The greater number, however, of so-called Fortune-tellers are but charlatans, with the merest smattering of partly-assimilated knowledge of some form of divination or 'character-reading'; whether by the cards, coins, dice, dominoes, hands, crystal, or in any other pretended way. With these, the taint of the money they hope to receive clouds such mind or intuition as they may possess, and it follows that their judgments and prognostications have precisely the same value as the nostrums of the quack medicine-vendor.

 

[ona.alicia]

Truth Seeker, the answer to this would be "yes", naturally, but do you know that particular "psychic" personally? You can warn one about such things as a generality, but how many people really listen, unless they experience something for themselves?
