Are psychics real or fake

Answer 1

Their is no research to prove psychics to have true powers. However, there are those individuals that believe in the power of understanding your intuition and communicating by using different tools. Best advice is to use your better judgement especially when you are paying for these services.

Yes. knowing the answers in life is tough, and so we all naturally want to search for them any way we can. it's very easy to take stock and get taken advantage of by promises and guarantees from someone who claims to see the future. the only place you will really find those answers in from within yourself. no one else can know what you need besides you. and you don't need to give your money away to someone making claims to change your life completely. but not all psychics fake.

Anyone claiming to be psychic is a charlatan. No so called psychic has ever produced unequivocal and universally accepted evidence of their powers. For anyone who claims to be psychic, please go to the James Randi organization who offer ONE MILLION DOLLARS for anyone one who can demonstrate paranormal, supernatural or occult power under properly observed conditions. Unsurprisingly, no one has ever been able to win the one million dollar challenge<

Well, I do not think that all psychics fake, because there are a lot of psychics I know that are friends, TV stars, or even in my family and most of them don't fake. but some do fake for money, for example Most Haunted's Derek Acorah was kicked off the show for being too obvious on faking. the show is fake but entertaining. but if you want to watch a decent real ghost show then i recommend watching Ghost Hunt, or Ghost Hunters. Its very entertaining and fascinating at what you can actually find!

You don't think that all psychics are fake. Why ? Which psychics aren't fake and where's the indisputable evidence ? You at least recognise that some psychics are fake. <br /> It's a question of evidence and there has never been unequivocal and universally accepted evidence of anyone possessing psychic (or any other supernatural powers). As James Randi says "I'm prepared to believe" but let's see the evidence. <br /> If you know of some genuine psychics, point them in the direction of the James Randi Organisation. If I were a genuine psychic, I'd jump at the chance of proving to the world, beyond any doubt, that psychic powers did exist and win a million dollars at the same time. <br /> For anyone who claims to be psychic, please go to the James Randi organization who offer ONE MILLION DOLLARS for anyone one who can demonstrate paranormal, supernatural or occult power under properly observed conditions.

Yes psychic's do fake it only mediums and demons have magic powers.

I beg to differ! There are many people who have developed their spiritual gifts as Jesus taught that "all that I can do ye can do, even more so." I have had quite a few totally on-target readings that can not be denied or discredited. We make our own future with each thought and every action, but we do have spiritual gifts. I've had them all of my life since I was four years old. Some of these spiritual experiences were witnessed by others. It actually is a matter of a pure heart, correct focus, letting go as in getting into a theta brain wave versus the beta (stress of every day life) brain wave. It takes training, meditation, and/or prayer. Maybe that is why Christ taught us to "pray always" and to "seek and ye shall find." Never limit the human potential or you demonstrate your lack of faith and belief in God. Undoubtedly, some psychics fake it, but others are genuine.

How about some evidence for these "genuine" psychics ? Would you care to name some names. It's so simple to say "some psychics are genuine" but where is the unequivocal and indisputable evidence?

I too will never accept claims that psychics are genuine until i see solid, scientifically sound evidence to support claims. As has already been mentioned, the notorious $1,000,000 James Randi paranormal prize has been offered to ANYONE who believes they have supernatural powers and practice them. NOBODY HAS EVER CLAIMED THIS PRIZE IN THE 30 OR SO YEARS IT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE. It is sad as I have members of my family who are being taken in and conned out of their money by charlatans posing as mediums, clairvoyants, psychics and even astrologers and practitioners of these woo woo forms of con artistry, who take advantage of the loss of their loved ones. So you can safely and logically conclude that ALL psychics, mediums and clairvoyants are all fake, fraudulent hoaxers. Along with those who practice any paranormal activity, Astrology, tarot etc. It is all fake. Some people are mentally ill and really believe they are psychic because symptoms of their illness manifests itself in delusions. Some have low intelligence. Most know they are conning you. It is because it is so hard to believe that they are conning you that is it so effective. There is a man who became a very skilled 'psychic' and was paid handsomely for his fraudulent services. After many years of being a professional psychic he retired from this work and after waiting a number of years, as he had signed a contract that obligated him to remain silent about the fraudulence of the psychic industry, he told of his involvement in it and its complete saturation of lies fakery and fraud.

Rebuff:

Yes, unfortunately there are a large majority of "psychics" who are fake and of the true intuitives, many get caught up in the greed or ego part of it. However, there are true intuitives with pure intent who strive to help others and have never profited from it nor intend to. While everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, it does not serve to strike down or diminish that which you know nothing of.

You are all operating under the misunderstanding about what being a psychic really means. Let's start with what it isn't: Psychic power isn't magical or supernatural. Psychic abilities do not come from either God or the devil. Psychics aren't telepaths, or precognatives. Being a psychic isn't some kind of mystical gift. Anybody can learn to be one.

So what IS it? Being a psychic means being observant. It means opening some communication between the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious human mind forgets most of what it absorbs. However, the subconscious forgets nothing. It's all there. Everything the eyes have seen, the ears have heard or the body has experienced. The person sees something and the subconscious will react remembering something it learned before. The non-psychic person won't hear or react to the subconscious' attempt to alert the conscious mind. But a psychic has trained him/herself to be aware or alert for those subconscious messages. That "I had the strangest feeling" experience is the subconscious (your psychic self) trying to contact you with important information. <br /><br /> Are there fakes out there? Of course there are. And, also, no there are not. That's because the fakes are also very observant and use that same ability to tap into their subconscious selves that true psychics use. The difference is that they're doing it for personal gain. <br /><br /> How do you know the difference? If I had all the answers to that one I'd be a much better psychic than I am.

It is not that the psychic is "real or fake" - The job of a psychic is to simply access your subconscious...Your conscious is the literal counterpart to your subconscious. If you look past psychic's and religion, more toward it with science, i believe there to be some legitimacy with mental and spiritual connection with your consciousness in a 5th dimensional state of awareness that most humans do not see because of materialism...Physics are skilled manipulators really...only you can truly access your own subconscious.

Never ever employ a psychic that asks you questions about yourself! Cold readers are simply astute people who know the right questions to ask you in order to elicit the answers they need either verbally or via body language. A genuine psychic needs no leads.
