    One thing I will say, something that keeps popping into my head, is that I suspect some mediums/psychics are targeted by mischievous entities during a reading who can 'muscle in' and implant a thought into the medium's head which she interprets as her own guidance and this can very often be the case if the psychic doesn't do the 'guarding' prayers beforehand. I do wonder if this happened with Carol Clarke?
    Interesting point. Or maybe it's my head that's corrupted with mischievous entities preventing a psychic connection from occurring

    @Eva2: yes! the leaves that Billy spoke of. forgot about that. Glad you mentioned it. See, now I'm ready to jump back in the game
    We can try to put this to the test if you like. I can go into the crystal for you. If no being comes through for you this could indicate a definite block in you. But if someone does, especially quite easily, I'd say no significant block. -And no charge at all kind sir. Never a charge. All that is needed is a genuine willingness to connect. We can use this thread in itself to act as the request, rather than the more usual channels.
    Ok Casey, that's intriguing. What do I need to do?
    Oh, hello, Mari.. I suppose I should have addressed my comment ( which was to Mike ), specifically to see if he has some kind of block. I offered to use this thread as the request because he began it and there is plenty of energy here for me to read. This said, yes anyone can request a rendering through the more usual channel --> crystal contact, rendering request.

    Thank you, RunningDeer ......I wonder why it would not let ME do this. ( weird ) I didn't do anything different than usual.

    Anyhow, thank you for the assist!


    From Bill:
    I fixed the link in your post above, which now works.
    (But I don't know what the error was! I simply started again, and there must have been a very tiny typo somewhere.)

    My suggestion?
    Decide to take control over your own mind. Be confident, be strong. Don't listen to noise. Be your own 'authority'. Question everything. Know that you can find all the answers within yourself.
    Well I do have control over my own mind. I am my own authority. I'm not forfeiting my autonomy here, I'm just seeking some spiiritual guidance

    To be clear: this isn't something I do regularly. I've probably had roughly 15 -20 readings in the last 25 years. Sometimes I get readings on a whim. Sometimes it's after I've read a fascinating book or watched a podcast that's featured or discussed what appear to be gifted psychics. And sometimes it's when I'm at a crossroads and looking for some spiritual guidance.

    I'm just a curious sort really who's prone to exploring this stuff from time to time.

    Interesting. Curiosity is one thing... To be entertained, amused, not to be taken seriously. I get the sense that you want to take this subject seriously. Why did you start this thread? Right from the top, your OP states that you "want to believe".

    When I suggest deciding to take control over your own mind, it means there is no need to 'believe'. The need to care falls away because you already know all there is to know. From my perspective, you are already whole, you are enough. When you say you are seeking 'spiritual guidance' that suggests to me that you think you are not enough. If you were enough, you wouldn't seek it. Seeking guidance outside yourself gives your power away, makes you vulnerable.

    When you are in the center, nothing is above you and nothing is below you.
    I think what you've said there is true in a spiritual/abstract sense. But in a practical sense we live in a world where all kinds of people are better at all kinds of things than other people, and it's very natural to seek them out for assistance.

    If I needed to rebuild my car engine, I could buy any parts I might need and watch youtube videos and read books etc, and if I pulled it off it might be very empowering. But it's not disempowering to seek out a mechanic. It's just a pragmatic acknowledgment that time is of the essence and this individual is far less likely to screw this thing up than me.

    It's true, I do want to believe. And as I stated earlier, that's one reason I've contacted psychics in my life. I started the thread as a mildly amusing rant. Not sure what I expected to get out of it honestly.

    Why would you go out of your way to get a reading if you didn't have any expectations?
    Good question. In one instance, it was because my friends were doing it so why not. In another, I just wanted to know about astrology. In three instances, I really was looking for answers in life. In those three instances, the reading caused me to rethink my situation (which is good, and I really didn't rely too much on what the psychic said.) By the time I finally figured out that there was was no accuracy in reading , I decided, just as well, they all taught me to be self reliant. In the meantime, I have done a few Tarot readings of my own - what ever the truth of the tarot cards is, is irrelevant - but by going through the process of doing a reading, you might get out of your stuck circular thoughts and think about the problem differently, which is something to be thankful for - well worth the price of a tarot deck and the book on how to read cards.

    As far as seeing evidence of real psychic powers, I have only seen this when I wasn't looking for it. It just happens. If you aren't open to real psychic phenomena and psychic events occur, you will just convince yourself it never happened. But if you are paying attention, you will know - there is something really there.

    Quote Chris I never said psychic powers don't exist. I just said I don't have any evidence that they do.
    Fair enough - but I will go back to my finding love in analogy. Those people who are constantly looking for there loved one never find it until they resign themselves to a life of being solitary - and then, someone pops into their life. Same thing with looking for psychic info. Once you decide that psi is a bunk phenomena, the universe will then show you that you are wrong. The psychic world really doesn't want to help you and make your life better. It is just a trickster and enjoys frustrating you, confusing you, and wants you to know it's there but isn't going to do anything of use for you. But this will only happen to you if you 100% convince yourself that it is impossible for it to even exist.

    Hi Casey, very cool of you too offer! Thanks

    Count me in!
    Great. This is where I need you to speak with me.

    I am going to copy, and say a few things here by way of confirming with you. First >> you are confident in your decision to request a rendering? ..in order to potentially see if you have put up some kind of block to what seem outside sources of information coming from the wider reality? What I do is put you face-to-face with someone from that wider spectrum. Do you feel you are ready for face-to-face contact? What is about to happen is very real. The effect can be unexpected. Second >> ( this is a copy/paste from the website rendering request page ) >>

    Everything here is for everyone.

    Everything is public, out in the open ( there are no private reads ). If you request a read please know it may be displayed and discussed. Purely the read, (no full names unless you are so open as to add it) as a means of helping others, and growing-together. This is our primary purpose and your genuine alignment is required for requests to be considered. Contacts which attempt to place limitations on where renderings and discussions may and/or may not be shared I will not be able to work with. If you are still working with keynotes surrounding privacy you may wish to complete with this work first, prior to requesting a read. Or,—perhaps this is an opportunity to make a leap you are indeed ready for.


    Are you aligned with this? ( with the public and shared nature of the work )

    If someone comes through for you, do you want the rendering to be posted here in this thread - or no? It is up to you.

    Hi Casey, "confident" is a strong word, seeing as I don't really know what to expect! But I am up for the adventure. Is that sufficient?

    You can share the reading here on Avalon and anywhere else you like. I have no issue with that.

    Question: when you say put me "face to face" with someone from that wider spectrum, what does that mean exactly? And who is that someone?

    Mike, that's great, and yes this is sufficient.

    Face-to-face means I am going to put through a face front portrait of who comes through for you. We're going to have to wait a minute to see who that is, but I have already connected and opened the dialogue.

    Let's see what I am able to bring through. If the detail is good, again I would suggest no significant block in you.

    It is going to be overcast and raining here in my neck of the woods the next 6 days. I generally like to work with the sun when I do what I do. But let's see what happens.

    Hi Mike

    GREAT thread I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
    Thank you.

    I agree with you good sir.

    I would like to use Edgar Cayce as exhibit A.

    Edgar asked for no money.
    Donation only.
    He was by all accounts the most psychic of the psychics.

    But....
    When good old Cayce attempted to use his psychic abilities for profit via an oil capitol business were he was tasked to use his abilities to locate the liquid gold,,, the situation blew up in his face.
    Using psychic abilities for financial gain seems to be a no no.

    Also there was the book Abduction to the 9th planet.
    I like it. I have no idea if it's legit but I like it.
    In it the protagonist is told that real psychics will never ask for money to use their gifts.

    The most psychic dude I've ever met was a guy named Jimmy Dodd from Scottsdale Arizona.
    At the time I was a bit of a dabbler into the realm of expanded consciousness.
    I had heard of this guy Jimmy Dodd who ran a healing clinic by strictly donation.
    He had a massage table and folks would wait their turn to lay down on it and he would lay hands on people with the intent of healing.
    I had meditated that day and my third eye was seeing pretty well.
    I say this because with my third eye blazing I could see a angelic person standing behind Jimmy with her hands over Jimmy's hands.
    It was awe inspiring.
    The being looked at me and came over to sit in the empty chair next to me.
    It was really cool.
    All of this was unknown to Jimmy.

    I talked to him after the class.
    He was fascinated with what I told him.
    I was surprised when he told me he had never seen the beings he worked with and he was fascinated to hear my description of the angelic woman.

    Anyway great thread. Thank you

    Hey Chris, same with me! I have had little hits over the years. In sports gambling, for instance, I could guess games against the spread with pretty good accuracy when I was offering advice to a friend. But when I was betting, that sense of relaxation and knowing goes poof, off into the ether.

    In other words, my intuitions and psychic hits are pretty decent when nothing is on the line. I can relax and sense things, maybe. The rub there of course is that people usually need spiritual guidance most when they're stressed and heavily invested...which is when this type of phenomenon becomes most elusive.

    Quote As far as seeing evidence of real psychic powers, I have only seen this when I wasn't looking for it. It just happens. If you aren't open to real psychic phenomena and psychic events occur, you will just convince yourself it never happened. But if you are paying attention, you will know - there is something really there.

    .Interesting. Curiosity is one thing... To be entertained, amused, not to be taken seriously. I get the sense that you want to take this subject seriously. Why did you start this thread? Right from the top, your OP states that you "want to believe".

    When I suggest deciding to take control over your own mind, it means there is no need to 'believe'. The need to care falls away because you already know all there is to know. From my perspective, you are already whole, you are enough. When you say you are seeking 'spiritual guidance' that suggests to me that you think you are not enough. If you were enough, you wouldn't seek it. Seeking guidance outside yourself gives your power away, makes you vulnerable.

    When you are in the center, nothing is above you and nothing is below you.
    I think what you've said there is true in a spiritual/abstract sense. But in a practical sense we live in a world where all kinds of people are better at all kinds of things than other people, and it's very natural to seek them out for assistance.

    If I needed to rebuild my car engine, I could buy any parts I might need and watch youtube videos and read books etc, and if I pulled it off it might be very empowering. But it's not disempowering to seek out a mechanic. It's just a pragmatic acknowledgment that time is of the essence and this individual is far less likely to screw this thing up than me.

    It's true, I do want to believe. And as I stated earlier, that's one reason I've contacted psychics in my life. I started the thread as a mildly amusing rant. Not sure what I expected to get out of it honestly.

    For me, this isn't about someone being 'better' at something ('better' is up for interpretation). The way I see it, there's really not much of a line separating the 'spiritual' world and the 'physical' world. And, if we can be conned on 'this side', I think we set ourselves up to be conned on 'the other side'.

    I, personally, do not think it's 'very natural' at all to seek out other people that are supposedly 'better at all kinds of things' for 'assistance'. If and when I feel I must do that, I know the risk to me is huge. Precautions. This is where thorough research and due diligence is required including the review of a lifetime's worth of experience. And, having done all that, there is still huge risk.

    Self-responsibility.

    How many people automatically assume that just because a person has a Ph.D. after their name that means they're trustworthy? We're talking about people putting their lives and health into the hands of others. That's not wise... not wise at all. I've seen what happens to those who take shortcuts and trust. (Note: Psychopaths like to choose 'high trust' professions because it gives them easy access to their victims.)

    Finding a good mechanic (like a good doctor), is like finding an honest used car salesman. You can't just assume that someone who claims to be a mechanic knows what they're doing. And, when it comes to scammers, while some are just in it to scam you out of your money, others do it for the power trip, attention, and feeling important.

    As for spiritual matters let alone advice on such things... We're not talking about car maintenance here. We're talking about our souls...

    The art of persuasion... If we are actors on a stage, is not an audience required? Doesn't everyone have a game to play?

    Speaking for myself: in my body, my mind, and in my soul, I know I am exactly where I need to be at any given moment. All answers are in the Present.

    "Better" is open to interpretation when it comes to the arts or your favorite foods. But in nearly all other areas, it's objectively observable.

    And that's good! It's how we navigate our way thru life.. Your whole life has been an exercise in choosing what's best for you, often by choosing a better product, better service, or better professional. And we know what's better because it's self-evident!

    Often the risk is much bigger if you don't seek out someone better. I could offer 1000 examples. What if you needed back surgery? Of course you'd spend quite a bit of time researching back surgeons to determine which one is best. Or would that be disempowering? Would you attempt to do it on your own?

    You're not violating your personal responsibility by exploiting talented people in your immediate environment. You're honoring it. You only violate it if you're overdependent on people for things you're capable of doing yourself. If I was seeing psychics daily or weekly you could accurately accuse me of that. But as I stated earlier, I've seen maybe 15-20 in the last 25 years

    As I said earlier, I've consulted with psychics for several reasons over the years. This last time was because I'm at something of a crossroads, and the right choice isn't obvious to me. Even so, it didn't occur to me to contact a psychic out-of the blue. It's not my habit to do that. In this instance I saw a podcast featuring what seemed to be a gifted psychic. I had to make a decision about something quickly, and the chances of me becoming a psychic overnight were quite slim. So I went with the reading.

    Quote Posted by Mike (here)
    I want to believe.

    But I've been getting psychic readings, on and off, for maybe 20 years and I still don't have 1 single shred of evidence that anyone on this planet has even the slightest bit of psychic ability at all.

    The psychic world is largely a grift. I get no joy in saying that, but it's a reality I've finally come to terms with. All it took was 20 years and several thousand dollars.

    I'd sworn off psychics until the Carol Clarke thread began here, years ago. Even David Icke said (paraphrase), "She simply never gets it wrong". Well based on my reading, she never really gets it right. Actually it would be more accurate to say that everything she says is so ambiguous, abstract, and unfalsifiable that it can't be judged either way. And I think that's the point.

    I later discovered - with the help of another member here - that she stole bits from an astrology site and recited them word for word during her readings, as if they were her own revelations. The proof was undeniable.

    Before Carol I'd had an assortment of readings from many different psychics, all highly reputable(and expensive). Not a single one of them even hinted at the most prominent issues in my life. Not one. Not ever.

    And there wasn't any overlap in any of the messages. If they were truly psychic in some way, you'd think they'd be picking up on the same "static".

    I recently began watching a podcast called "Next Level Soul", which features near death experiencers mainly. Most of the interviewees claim psychic abilities of some sort. Their stories were told earnestly and with great emotion, and I had no reason to doubt them. So I made some appointments with a few for readings. Why not?

    Well I noticed a clear pattern. All 3 began with a windy prayer/meditation that consumed close to 5 mins. And then they said, How can I be of service to you? " And I was left thinking: if you're so bloody cosmic, why don't you tell me how you can be of service to me? I just paid you $200!

    What kind of psychic needs to know what's on my mind ahead of time before they read me?? Surely they should already know, at least to some degree.

    With the first one, I played along. I asked some questions and she asked a few back. And every few mins she'd stop to perform cleansing prayers, or something like that. It must have eaten up nearly half the reading. Again, I think it's designed that way. That's the grift.

    One of them said I walked with Jesus. None of the others did, mind you. Walking with Jesus is a pretty big deal, and you'd think if it were true, the other psychics would have picked up on it. But no. This particular psychic told me Jesus was present during the reading, but "Jesus" had precious little of value to offer, strangely He was very vague, and general, and weirdly enough seemed to get quite a bit wrong about me...

    And this is another part of the grift - appeal to ego, and hope the idiot you're reading for gets so drunk on the ruse that they fail to notice how embarrassingly bad the rest of the reading is.

    Carol Clarke did this with past lives in other solar systems and galaxies. She told me right off that I was from a star system that no one she'd ever read for had been from. Only minutes after I'd posted this here a member pm'd me to say Carol told him he was from the same star system.

    When I asked one of the psychics that read for me recently what my life purpose was, she answered like this: "Well everyone's life purpose is to heal, and once you heal you'll discover what you're supposed to be doing here..."

    Wow. Deep! Thank you friendly psychic!

    The joke, ultimately, is on me. I keep falling for it. And I'll probably fall for it again sometime in the future, because that's just what I do.

    Why do I keep doing this??
    I am not sure that psychic ability is all about predictions as such, I know that is the classic belief, that Almanacs and Nostradamus type predictions are what it is all about, I think it has more to do with human consciousness as a whole, and how we are all connected to the universal "Monad" - the research of Rupert Sheldrake, and the work of Arthur M Young (with his 'Gee Whiz' phase) point to the nature of 'mind at large' and how we can influence outcomes, ESP or mentally linking with one another, and the development of human knowledge. The 'Scole Experiment' where spirits of passed-on human personalities can reach us, and how they can describe the next level of existence. I asked Rupert Sheldrake directly about this Scole Experiment, because the folks who conducted this invited him to be a science observer, and credibility analyst, he told me that YES these manifestations actually took place and he had no materialistic explanations for them. Food for thought, so I don't think prediction is the true point here. No offense intended.

    You can share the reading here on Avalon and anywhere else you like. I have no issue with that.

    Question: when you say put me "face to face" with someone from that wider spectrum, what does that mean exactly? And who is that someone?
    Mike, that's great, and yes this is sufficient.

    Face-to-face means I am going to put through a face front portrait of who comes through for you. We're going to have to wait a minute to see who that is, but I have already connected and opened the dialogue.

    Let's see what I am able to bring through. If the detail is good, again I would suggest no significant block in you.

    It is going to be overcast and raining here in my neck of the woods the next 6 days. I generally like to work with the sun when I do what I do. But let's see what happens.


    Casey

    Wonderful, and thanks again.



    Mike, this is really not bad, considering how we went about this.

    Let me say this. Whenever I go into the crystal for contact -for anyone save myself -it is always a being in my own template that let's through your own. The being who serves as the portal tells me a lot about the being and message that is coming through for you. - for instance, it is Moirae, an aquatic being, a creature of the sea who parted the way for the main being ( far left ) who stepped forward for you. Water = emotion. + a total of 3 female entities came through : imbalance. It will be for you to say in which way this may be so in you, relative to our query. In the middle we have what I glean is data suggesting clear permission from you not being given ( to let yourself receive from outside yourself ). So, although not a block, per se, I might suggest a more productive result from your sessions may come if you give/make a clearer permission statement within yourself going in. Readings are an intimate thing, and genuine inner openness is a requisite to receiving. On the right we have what looks like something possibly indicating unresolved childhood trauma. This could be arising from somewhere within the dream state, a connecting lifetime and/or it could have manifested more clearly for you directly in your physical life. This is what we got. Can you make rhyme or reason out of it?

    Mike, most of what I had in mind to say, Pris has said upthread. All that you need for your this-life, is within you.

    I know that we can choose our inputs, our ‘ideas’, our path. And I know that even the most flowery and ‘spiritual’ of these can be a wasteful detour or even harmful.

    Christ taught - in the eighties is when I heard this, so then - that incarnated people are subject to inputs from discarnate ‘people’, and that their motive is to harvest our spirit energy. Said that this is our spiritual environment. Said that we are vulnerable due to our individual various weaknesses.

    The best single advice that I heard, is to “press the button for the top floor”. Doesn’t mean you won’t mess up, ‘cause you gotta do some things, right? But at least it helps you get healthy, and make better sense of yourself.

    I think that daily sleeps were designed to accentuate the importance of every DAY (shift work, like the “graveyard” night 12’s I did on drilling rigs, same). Our days tell us what needs working on. Your curiosity is on you, and only adds to your workload.

    Cheers, and good luck.

    I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Childhood trauma? Probably, in some shape or form. Much more as an adult, I'd say.

    Imbalance? Certainly. In about 1000 different ways

    If I had any reticence about the reading it came from not knowing what to expect. But I felt about as open to something I had no clue about as I could be.

    Typically, when you do readings for people, how much information comes thru? I mean, is it usually in bits n pieces or will it sometimes arrive in several paragraphs?

    Question: when you say put me "face to face" with someone from that wider spectrum, what does that mean exactly? And who is that someone?
    Mike, that's great, and yes this is sufficient.

    Face-to-face means I am going to put through a face front portrait of who comes through for you. We're going to have to wait a minute to see who that is, but I have already connected and opened the dialogue.

    Let's see what I am able to bring through. If the detail is good, again I would suggest no significant block in you.

    It is going to be overcast and raining here in my neck of the woods the next 6 days. I generally like to work with the sun when I do what I do. But let's see what happens.


    Casey

    Wonderful, and thanks again.



    Mike, this is really not bad, considering how we went about this.

    Let me say this. Whenever I go into the crystal for contact -for anyone save myself -it is always a being in my own template that let's through your own. The being who serves as the portal tells me a lot about the being and message that is coming through for you. - for instance, it is Moirae, an aquatic being, a creature of the sea who parted the way for the main being ( far left ) who stepped forward for you. Water = emotion. + a total of 3 female entities came through : imbalance. It will be for you to say in which way this may be so in you, relative to our query. In the middle we have what I glean is data suggesting clear permission from you not being given ( to let yourself receive from outside yourself ). So, although not a block, per se, I might suggest a more productive result from your sessions may come if you give/make a clearer permission statement within yourself going in. Readings are an intimate thing, and genuine inner openness is a requisite to receiving. On the right we have what looks like something possibly indicating unresolved childhood trauma. This could be arising from somewhere within the dream state, a connecting lifetime and/or it could have manifested more clearly for you directly in your physical life. This is what we got. Can you make rhyme or reason out of it?

    Thanks for the reading

    I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Childhood trauma? Probably, in some shape or form. Much more as an adult, I'd say.

    Imbalance? Certainly. In about 1000 different ways

    If I had any reticence about the reading it came from not knowing what to expect. But I felt about as open to something I had no clue about as I could be.

    Typically, when you do readings for people, how much information comes thru? I mean, is it usually in bits n pieces or will it sometimes arrive in several paragraphs?
    Mike, I usually do not give information. It is always there, but it is a time thing ( not enough of it ), I still have to work job jobs on top of all this -and over the years of doing it I have noticed that for the most part people are not ready/open to what is coming through to me. In fact they are barely open to the contact itself. Which is where we focus. All we do now is put you in contact with who comes through. The rest is for you. I know of only one person who actually works with the beings we've put through to them. That is one in a whole lot at this point. People say they want to know, yet few indeed are really willing to do any of the work necessary. I put through hundreds of these to people, while each one of you just have the being(s) who came to you. Imagine what we could bring forward if we all engaged in the work. I gave you a sample of ideas: water, emotion, female/receptivity imbalance, possible childhood trauma ( it is a female child depicted here, do not just think of yourself, or yourself as you know you now, open to wider possibilities ) - sit with all this, try to feel it all together as a singular thing specifically in regard to your query. Wonder, ponder, contemplate, this is how we open to the possibilities, how the light ( and answers ) begins to shine in. Open, open, open. Do this not once, but for as long as you need to invoke a change. Reality is from the inside out, everything begins from within ourselves *not somewhere out there -->. This is the really big thing we all have the tendency to forget. Go IN, go deep for real. See what gems you can bring up. This is the real, ie: core purpose of this work. I hope you do. I hope it helps.
