Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.......but good luck.

For those who have experienced it, basically it is just a feeling that something is going to transpire........**

Now, if the so called "psychic" acted on her "feeling".....she'd still have to choose the correct numbers..........I don't think that would happen.

This is the misconception out there.

Again, there are charlatans in every walk of life and every profession.

**For what it's worth.........and since you are a nice fellow....I'll tell you a story. The day before 911, full day before, I woke up in the middle of the night from the most frightening dream I'd ever had.

To be brief here......I saw a huge face/head of a man in a black turban....with a black beard.
Yes, a black turban. I saw an airplane crash. Then I woke up.

Now, 10 days later we were supposed to fly to our son's wedding in Colorado out of Albany, New York to Denver (via Chicago as the layover).

The next morning, while in the kitchen "listening to Good Morning America" I saw the planes crash into the tower.......and the rest is history.

We did do the trip..........but it was "surreal". The airports were empty.
The few, like us, were terrified. The plane's staff and crew were terrified.

What do you make of my dream? That was a premonition.
It happens. You can't turn it on. It just happens.

I don't believe in the psychics who know everything.
What I'm talking about is INTUITION AND precognition.

That other guy who calls it witchcraft doesn't know what he's talking about, unfortunately...........my husband does not dream either.
The few times he's had a dream in our 48 years of marriage I can count on half of my right hand fingers. Women do dream more and feel more.

Superstitious mumbo gumbo has been around since the beginning of time. It is all just silly childish fear of the explainable that makes us search for an answer. Also, I am a christian, so I will put my faith in god and not a dream or any other silly coincidence.
Please use your head before your fear to come to a conclusion on anything.

Am I the only one seeing the absurdity of this statement?:a20:

I agree with Golfingnut that it is silly childish fear that makes some of us afraid of the idea of Psychics, Mediums, and Clairvoyants.

I'm so glad you clarified that, BARE, I guess it's all in the interpretation. I took it to mean he only believed in organized mumbo-jumbo, superstition that has been around since the start of time.

DOPEY ME

I see your point: To many folks, believing in GOD is no different than believing in Witchcraft and other things like we are discussing here. You may be right, but, I also need something to believe in and I chose the more established.

I don't go as far as to classify all abilities to "Witchcraft". I do believe that there are people who have abilities, whether it be intuitive or just being able to read situations and people.

I also believe there is good and bad in everything. Take someone like Theresa Caputo, the LI Medium. I don't know if what she does is real or not, but it does seem to lighten people's load.

I think that anything that helps give people peace is good, be it a preacher, a psychic or a shrink.

I think that anyone who takes advantage of another person's pain to make money is bad, be it a preacher, psychic or shrink.

I think when people have abilities, it is a gift from God.

I was gonna say something just like that but you said it much better than I could've..

Yes, I knew that because HHeellllooo, I'm PSYCHIC.:girlneener:

Agreed- fools and their funds are early parted.

How about the ones that don't charge the fools?

Patty, remind me always to stay on your good side. :a20:

Believe that they should make certain readings mandatory at the US high school level. Age of Enlightment books like Candide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment

I think they are still working on literacy.

Some areas yes. My high school teacher Mrs. Mitchell turned me on to books like Anna Karenina when I was 16. I was just interested in Edgar Rice Burroughs' works and other such adventure stories up to then.

Still believe that education can work wonders if you can get people to read and learn to think critically.
