LA psychics
hey all...don't clown me now but does anybody know of any good "for real" psychics in the LA area. im kinda getting freaked out about my luck situation and a friend of mine just came back from one so i thought i would give it a try. any referrals would be greatly appreciated.
All psychics care about is how much money they can get out of your wallet. They will try to get you to come back and give them more money - they are brilliant con artists. Don't worry about your streak of bad luck - it will pass (mine did!).
I think over again
My small adventures, my fears.
The small ones that seemed so big,
For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.
And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:
To live to see the great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.

in fact, it will probably last longer if you give away your money to a psychicOriginally posted by Kevster

a good friend of mine thinks psychics are "all that"....in late april, 2001, she went to one, who told her that within the next year she was going to marry an older man and get pregnant.
she's still single and childless....go figure
...yeah thats what i think too. i think im more just looking for somebody to tell me something good for a change. i dont think im gonna take it very seriously but id rather give my money to somebody who really beleives theyre psychic rather than a con artist.

Don’t be discouraged. Joy comes in the morning. Know that God is nigh.
Stand still and look up. God is going to show up. He is standing by.
There’s healing for your sorrow, healing for your pain, healing for your spirit,
there’s shelter from the rain.
Lord, send the healing. For we know that there is a Balm in Gilead to heal your soul.
There’s healing for your soul.

Psychics are real...Some aren't...
I went to one years ago in Hartford with my girlfriend...in her house..at her kitchen table..and yes..with the lights on...she seemed normal...even laughed at how she wanted to get a crystal ball, but her husband told her no way...When my girlfriend and I had first called for our appointment, I lied on my name and where I lived...just in case she had her way of "checking up" on us...she came so close to "me" she scared me..I'll never go to another one again...I went to Old Orchard Beach in Maine with friends this summer, they had their reading done...I walked away...
I do know there is a woman in the next town where I live that helps the police on occasion and is very well known in my area...
So I believe there are those with the "gift"... and those whose only "gift" is your money...
saying that all psychics are frauds based on those that are frauds is like saying that all priests are pedos or also just want your money or whatever. basically it's a question of faith. some people have strong faith one way or another in a variety of areas, but it's hardly for me to deny their faith just because i didn't experience what they did.

I'd hardly compare a priest to a psychic.I'm sorry if I don;t believe in that superstition but I don't think people can read minds. Next thing you'll tell me is Jon Edwards is the real deal.
He is the real deal. He is a real entertainer. He plays a psychic to get lots of money.Originally posted by Cantacuzene

I do believe there are people who are more sensitive to the world around them in ways I do not understand. Whether this is because they can perceve "memory effects" in the surroundings and people around them or if it is just great intuition, I don't know.
Generaly I doubt people with these abilities actualy do it for money. If I could tell the future, I would be living in Las Vegas, you would find me at the roulette wheel.
you don't have to apologize. that's like me telling you that i'm sorry for saying you're biasedOriginally posted by Cantacuzene

btw, just because you don't believe in it doesn't make it a superstition any more than if i disbelieved in something you believe in would make it such.

Hey if you got the extra money to throw around that you feel youc an afford to spend it on a fortune teller, be my guest.
i didn't say i endorsed it. i just said it's not for me to say that it's bs.Originally posted by Cantacuzene

btw, where would the church be without psychics? er...prophets
edit: i said other stuff. but i took it out because i'm figuring this is another thing that could just go on longer than necessary. my initial point was...and remains that...it's not a bunch of garbage just because you didn't have an experience. you can write off whatever you want, but you'll just remain blind to the world around you. and ultimately any possible truth that you don't wish to accept.

That is a nice way to say it Mojo, good job!
Just because you personally haven't experienced it, doesn't mean it is impossible. My grandma has always had a "connection" to her twin. Even when they've lived thousands of miles away, they feel things about the other. My mom has the same thing with her sister. I can't count the times growing up mom would be quiet and jump up and KNOW that my aunt needed her. And, she was right every time. Same thing with my aunt. I don't know if the word psychic would be the word I would use to describe them, but it does make you wonder if some are more in tune with stuff.

You're right...I don't think the word "psychic" holds for all..but I agree...people have a "connection"...or are in tuned to others...or whatever you'd like to call it...
Have you ever been with someone and "thought" something instead of saying it outloud for whatever reason...and have that person turn and look at you and say " what did you say"...
That happens to me alot...with family members..and I was shopping with a close friend the other night, and I thought to myself in a way as if I were talking to him because he was 900 feet ahead of me..."you could at least wait up" ...anyhow as quick as I thought it, he turned around and said " what did you say"...and I laughed and said, I didn't say anything but I thought something... I just found that very weird...its not the first time that's happened to me...
dammit! i hate agreeing with cant but i gotta here. priests and ministers usually get into the ministry to help people. pyschics usually get into it for the coin. (of course there are exceptions on both sides) how many late night commercials do you see for 1-800-father-john. just call father john and for 3 bucks/minute, he can help your marriage or counsel you on how to better your life.Originally posted by Cantacuzene

edit: oops. double post. anyhow, maybe i'm cynical about them because i'm in marketing. whether people realize it or not, how they dress, drive, look, or talk tells other people a TON about them. psychics are trained to pick up on these signs.

good point. i guess i didn't even consider them legit. that sure says a ton about them doesn't it? i was just considering your local ministers and priests that you actually would talk to, not the jokers in louisiana or wherever they sit in the the gold and purple studios with their heavy makeup and big hair.

Televangelists are the scum of the Earth. I think Jesus said something like, "Beware the false prophet for many will come in my name." These "faith healers" and con artists fit that description.

Ok, for once I'll agree with ya Canta
I do think that "fortune tellers" at the beach/fairs/at any crowd attractions and such are full of s*** too, which I agree are in it for the money..I still think a good number of "Psychics" are real and it goes beyond telling you how many kids you're going to have or if you'll be divorced in two years ...
ajiemar, let us know if you ended up going to one...
Denial isn't a river in Egypt.....
Sure I'll be quiet when...
The only psychics I buy into are the ones that work woth the police to solve crimes. If someone really had such a gift they would use it to save lives and not for trite personal requests.
Bulls***. If I had psychic powers you can bet I would be looking to profit personally from them! How does having mental powers imply that one must always have a moral and charitable point of view?Originally posted by Cantacuzene

Common sense is what tells you the Earth is flat.
If you could cure cancer with a touch would you charge people?

Yah, Zen..would you charge
Then again...aren't healing powers and psychic powers different???
I don't think psychics can heal, they just tell you what illness you're going to get

I couldnt sleep at night knowing that people are dying and I could have saved them but i chose not to because I charged for it.
You see the joy of free will is that I could charge whoever I wanted to, or not charge whoever I wanted to. You are trying to put me in one box or another, but I would be free to skip from box to box to box as the situation warrants.Originally posted by Cantacuzene

no. because i'd go to jail for practicing medicine without a license. perhaps worse yet, i'd become some sort of spectacle and nobody would particularly care about me as a person so much as that i'm some sort of freak.Originally posted by Cantacuzene

if i could really do something like this, it would be pretty darned hard to get to me. people would have to jump through hoops like nobody's business...no claims would ever be made to efficacy...
i'd really want to help them. but i'd also want to avoid doing time for doing it.
