Psychic readings are real. They are real and older than humanity itself. But there’s nothing special about them. Psychic abilities are just feelings. We all have feelings, including psychic feelings. A psychic reading is just someone tuning into their psychic feelings for you.
Imagine yourself among your ancestors, living in a cave or a mud hut in a vast plain, sleeping close around a guttering fire. Tonight you’re all hungry. So hungry you can’t sleep. Tomorrow you need to hunt. If you can’t pick off an antelope or wild pig, you will need to find some other food, mushrooms or berries or grubs. The tribe depends on it.
Where will you go when morning comes? You know where the antelope live because you know your land, but you also have to rely on your psychic feelings. Where are the berries? Can you find more by the river today or should you look in the opposite direction? Your feelings are your only guide. Your feelings arise spontaneously -- usually as sensations in the body, sometimes as images or words.
Your elders taught that you can trust these feelings. This was how human beings lived for two hundred thousand years. We lived outdoors, most of the time, with lots of sensory input like calling birds and snapping twigs and rushing rivers and, occasionally, approaching predators. Our lives depended on our senses, including our psychic senses. These senses saved our lives.
Today, our lives are exquisitely comfortable. We have private bedrooms, air conditioning, and refrigerators. But we feel a deep unease. We are separate from other people, from plants and animals, from the weather and the earth. We all know this. There is no obvious solution, not one that will work for everyone on the crowded, polluted earth.
Psychic feelings have fallen into disuse. Modern humans rarely notice psychic feelings or realize what they are. Some fear them because they have heard that psychic readings can be wrong.
Experienced readers know that raw psychic data is almost never wrong. Our interpretations can be incorrect. If you go back to the original spontaneous feeling, image, or word, it will be relevant and helpful to your life. The more experience one has interpreting psychic feelings, the more correct one’s interpretation can be. This is why older readers are revered. Generally, it takes time and practice to learn.
Many modern people still believe in powers greater than themselves. People call these beings gods, spirits, or guides. Sometimes the guides appear as our own ancestors or as parts of our selves. They are all our teachers. Some are fierce. They all demand respect or they will withdraw. If you interact sincerely, they come closer. Through your psychic feelings, you can get in touch with these beings. A good psychic reader can show you how, if you can’t feel your way yourself. In these times, it’s difficult.
It’s unknown whether the gods exist only inside us or if they can also affect the material world, but people who enter deep relationship with them usually come to believe in their objective reality. Psychologist Carl Jung called these beings “archetypes,” a scientific-sounding term that modern people are sometimes more comfortable with than “spirits” or “gods.” Jung believed that, whatever they are, these archetypes evolved along with us and that relationship with them will heal us, help us evolve, and restore our connection to the whole Universe. If we have a chance as a species, it is through these higher intelligences and through using our own neglected ways of knowing.
