I've always wondered how psychics work. They claim there is this 'energy' that people give off that they are able to receive or something.

I don't know whether it's true, or it's satanic, or it's all a scam, or what.

South Park's episode on John Edwards summarizes most of my view on psychics.

scams to fool idiots.

i believe there are two types of pyschics. 1)the more common kind. to quote archangel, scammers that fool idiots. 2) the kind that are actually just contacting demons masquerading as human spirits or other spirits like angels or the like. these are the dangerous ones, that you really really really dont want to mess with, even more than the common kind, that you still really really dont want to mess with. cant even stress how much you dont want to mess with them.

hey arch, if its a scam, how do explain the medium that Saul went to?

Well I wouldn't want to mess with them anyway, just wondering about it.

About that thing with Saul, if she contacted an evil spirit why'd Samuel come up?(If it was Samuel that is)

I wonder if some psychics are hypnotists. This low-key (not a big celebrity or anything) hypnotist on TV was telling the news reporter that it's not that hard to hypnotize people just by talking to them in a regular conversation. I mean, the people who go to psychics for help are probably gonna be pretty open to outside influences.

And there's always "If you're so psychic, why haven't you won the lottery yet?"

well, okay, I misplaced my words.

my view of most psychics. I already state my belief in spiritual powers.

Oh, psychics! I though it said physics… lol

Well, in comparison, physics is something unseen but exists. In the case of psychics, it is something overly exposed (i.e. tv, radio, books) that does not exist. Of course, physics can always be manipulated especially depending on the environment, but in the case of Psychics generally the only change is in how much fatter their butts get after answering phones all day giving out bogus readings or readings that are inspired by demons encouraging their words… or directly working through them. I suppose you could apply the idea of physics to Psychics in a way, for the downward pull of the earth's depths seems to be greater upon them than for many others.
