About Psychic Stuff, Margaret Ruth and Other Interesting Topics
Q: What do psychics do? How does this psychic stuff work? Why don’t all psychics do the same kind of reading?
Information that is gathered from something other than the five senses is often considered intuitively or psychically generated. Terms like sixth sense and extrasensory perception are used in reference to psychic information.
The basic premise that most psychics work from is that being human is more than a physical state; there are metaphysical aspects to this human business. Metaphysical aspects of the human experience include such things as: spirituality, creativity, imagination, intuition, emotions, passions. I say this because these experiences are not completely generated from the five senses nor the rational processes of the brain.
Therefore, the next natural question is: Where do such things as emotions, inventions, musical scores, and intuitions come from? Exactly. There it is. The human experience does indeed transcend the five senses and subsequent rational brain cognition and this is the nature of psychically drawn information. Therefore, sensory and rational inputs are only a part of the available experience and information available to us. I operate on the knowing that humans are multi-dimensional beings and enjoy finding answers that address this. So, psychics generally gain their information via the antennae they have developed to look beyond the three-dimensional, five-sensory generated, human knowledge base.
The availability of psychic, or metaphysical, information depends upon an individual’s antennas. Different psychics will have different sets of information. Some will specialize in missing items, some in past relatives, some in the future (like me). I knew a man who was a car psychic; he would know everything about a car by just looking at it: its accidents, its owners, its problems. Handy, no? But, he had sharpened this particular antenna, whereas someone like me may never have cared to have developed that. My personal interests have generated antennae to gather answers from the broadest base I can locate-- which is why my particular readings often deal with information from your guides and usually include quite a bit of information about possible futures.
This also explains a few other questions about psychics and why they don’t all do the same thing. Why don’t psychics know the lottery numbers? It is my experience that most psychics aren’t terribly interested in number patterns. Some may be, but not many I know. Why doesn’t Margaret Ruth do crime? I don’t have the stomach for it. Why doesn’t Margaret Ruth do ghosts? Cause they are boring. Why doesn’t Margaret Ruth do cars or lotteries? Um - these actually sound good and I’ll work on them (when I get interested enough).
This also explains why journalists have gut senses about people or situations; they have developed very fine antenna for these areas. You will find people in many fields of professions and hobbies who have developed meta-perceptions about the things that they are very interested in. Almost everyone I know has meta-perceptions occurring in their daily lives, having such experiences as: knowing who is on the phone, flashes of past or future scenes, precognitive dreams, understanding information from your pet, reading someone’s "vibes."
Q: What is the difference between being intuitive and being psychic?
I see very little difference (Can you? If so, let me know); perhaps it is just difference of degree. I theorize that some "psychics" would prefer to call themselves "intuitives" so that they do not feel associated with the negative connotations of the word psychic. Given that there is fair amount of silliness connected with the word psychic, I understand this. However, since it is just a matter of vocabulary I prefer to call myself a psychic, just to be annoying I guess.
Q: I am a skeptic. What do you say to that?
I say , "Good, stay that way." The reason for my reaction is that the other extreme stance, complete susceptibility, is probably more dangerous in this matter and in general daily life.
Q: If I, a skeptic, calls you and wants to make an appointment, why won’t you "tell me something over the phone" to prove that you are really psychic and allay my fears?
Cause it’s boring, uninteresting and not very helpful. And, usually, when I am making or answering phone calls, I am not "on" (I am probably working on the computer or unloading a dishwasher or something rather exciting like that). My sense is that if someone does NOT think a psychic reading from me, or anyone else, would be helpful, then I don’t think you should make an appointment - don’t waste your money or time. It is that simple
