I see your point, but I believe that we could make a change. Violence, rape, murder are also everyday occurences, should we prescribe a lase faire type attitude and close our eyes and hope it goes away? I am not complaining, I am expressing my disdain for those that lack the character and see others as an ATM for their own use. I know we cannot stop them all, but if we can minimize it, it would be a step in the right direction. Basicly take the money out of it, and they will fade away.

@EchosFromaBlankMind I think so.

[MalkavianMadness]

Cold reading is a very old trick. only superstitious and not to bright people fall for this.

@tunastrike11 OMG! How did you know? You must be the real deal! Here's my money! Tell me more!

@vdst1 It's scary to think that my grandmother is like this...But she can't see it.

@djb907 my mum had a "A" in her name!! Bless you...I owe you 20 bucks but wont pay. Sorry. ;-) loved your post..made me laugh...

[djb907]

i can sense something.... somethings coming to me... does anyone hear own a computer..... your dead mother with a letter A in her name says she still loves you... that'll be 20 bucks

Spiritual addiction reminds me of the scene in the matrix were all the people are being fed neural stimulations and are living in a world of delusion. At the teat of the religious lie.

[vdst1]

I think people don't realize that when you learn to be yourself around a person, and they die. You really have to rewire the way you think, the way you react. There are neurons that are always going to be able to be stimulated at the mention of that persons name, and all the discomfort of having to rethink and all the hurt around a death (to put it more simply). I can see how people would get addicted to comfort of not having to move on or to the answers itself.

[MrSocrates420]

[BrookParkour]

[tsb049]

@BrookParkour Omg, I know Peter Pan. What is he telling me?

[BrookParkour]

i feel comfortable as a skeptic, but curious "wanting" to believe in paranormal, im always a little confused why debunkers choose really poor examples of paranormal, like big idiots or something, there are well known cases of paranormal worldwide, that have gone unexplained, is it just skeptics are unaware of these cases, or put very little if no credence into it because of their beliefs, i would love to find that rational explanation for some of the more concrete paranormal cases...:D

When a psychic reader is accurate they will be able to reveal things that only you would know. I went to one a few months ago who was deadly accurate with a few of my problems. There are definitely genuine clairvoyants around who are gifted and can reveal things very accurately.

Energy Is, Always Was, And Always Will Be. So what does that make of our relationship to all things? It means we are connected to all things in the smallest degree, but nonetheless connect to all things Directly. The Human Vessel is not naturally tuned to this awareness. But those who are tuned to this can exhibit small degrees of Universal awareness and connection, they are "plugged in" as it were to the "All Source". I can attest to this awareness not only logically, but first hand.

@SSaorise :::Yes Dawkins is all trickery.

[k0smon]

He doesn't see any evidence for it because he doesn't have to see the evidence. It is his to accept or reject. He does not have to be objective about this; he is free to say what he wants to say. Dawkins is on record as being a skeptic and a denier, and he is not about to admit anything to the contrary.

[SSaorise]

U GUYS ITS TRICKERY! ITS ALL TRICKERY DONT BELIEVE

[bubbleypixie]

@triadmediums I'm sensing you are a person who has problem admitting you are wrong because you want to represent yourself to others as a confident person. Does this make sense?

[cochiatascado]

i'll tap that 7:13

[triadmediums]

@ThunderousTurd Yes , and how about we "take the money out of " the medical profession and watch the doctors all fade away. Bottom line is that it is helping many by bringing closure and a sense of comfort, so where's the harm??

@jwgray10

[human0un]
