Psychics? Believe or No?
My sister and I recently went on a road trip. She is an avid believer in psychics (hope I spelled that right?). She talked me into going with her even tho I do not believe personally that you should dabble. It is not that I do not believe in their work but I do believe you should not dabble because it opens up a lot of doors for bad forces to enter. Anyway! I did it.
So, I walks in and she asks me is I want psyschic reading, tarot, or palm. I decided psychic reading. She held my hands with her own and was very quiet for what seemed like an eternity. Then she started describing my husband as my life mate and I was astounded!
She said I would live to be in my 90's, but the quality of my life was questionable. She described my husband as arrogant, clumsy, stubborn, not knowing how to show his emotion, but is true blue and would give his life for me. She did not know that lately I have been straddling the fence with this dude. I did not think so anyway, but she preceded to tell me to stick it out, cause things were about to turn around for good. She also said I would get a financial opportunity in the next two to four months. Then she mentioned that I would lose one more good friend, (lost one to liver failure this year). She also stroked my ego with what a wonderful person I am with many virtues and proceded to name them. 50 bucks and 15 minutes later, I was on my way and am still in wonder how she described my relationship with my old man. My old stubborn, arrogant man at that. This woman had never even heard my name before. Anyway, it was an experience and it was interesting. Has anyone else had something come true from being predicted by a psychic?

That explains religion . Conciousness is actually a field and recent scientific studies point out to the fact that the mind may very well be totally separate from the brain , then space-time collapses , everything is happening all at once and we are receiving signals from this field . Quantum physics says the brain does not stores information or memory , there is a subject-object split , means when we change the way we look at things the things we look at change ! Suppose I ask - what you had for dinner last night and the answer immediately comes to mind - chicken,vegetables,etc .. have you ever thought where was the answer before I asked the question? It was in this vast field of probabilities and possibilities(zero point field,conciousness,God) and when you focus your attention on it , it collapses ! Before the big bang all the matter and energy in this universe contained in a space tinier than a single atom of hydrogen , so we are already connected , your mind and my mind is actually side by side , so during telepathy , psychic visions , etc we don't reach out and connect to other reality , no , it's called quantum entanglement.
Justified true belief is one definition of knowledge that states for someone to have knowledge of something, it must be true so what you belief becomes true !
It's not a good idea to think that being psychic somehow makes you a "witch" , or it is condemned by God , NO !
Think about it .

Sorry wrong post! Please forgive me.........Sorry
so why was my comment deleted? This is why I do not even bother anymore. I guess I am not allowed to give my opinion. Oh well.
Therefore, sanatana-dharma as they call it in India or "eternal religion" does not refer to any sectarian process of religion. It is the eternal function of the eternal living entities in relationship with the eternal Supreme Lord. Sanatana-dharma refers, as stated previously, to the eternal occupation of the living entity. "that which has neither beginning nor end."
The English world "religion" is a little different from sanatana-dharma. Religion conveys the idea of faith, and faith may change. One may have faith in a particular process, and he may change this faith and adopt another, but sanatana-dharma refers to that activity which cannot be changed. For instance, liquidity cannot be taken from water, nor can heat be taken from fire. Similarly, the eternal function of the eternal living entity cannot be taken from the living entity. Sanatana-dharma is eternally integral with the living entity.
That which has neither end nor beginning must not be sectarian, for it cannot be limited by any boundaries. Yet those belonging to some sectarian faith will wrongly consider that sanatana-dharma is also sectarian, but if we go deeply into the matter and consider it in the light of modern science, it is possible for us to see that sanatana-dharma is the business of all the people of the world--nay, of all the living entities of the universe.
Non-sanatana religious faith may have some beginning in the annals of human history, but there is no beginning to the history of sanatana-dharma because it remains eternally with the living entities. Insofar as the living entities are concerned, the authoritative sastras state that the living entity has neither birth nor death. In the Gita it is stated that the living entity is never born, and he never dies. He is eternal and indestructible, and he continues to live after the destruction of his temporary material body. In reference to the concept of sanatana-dharma, we must try to understand the concept of religion from the Sanskrit root meaning of the word. Dharma refers to that which is constantly existing with a particular object. We conclude that there is heat and light along with the fire; without heat and light, there is no meaning to the word fire. Similarly, we must discover the essential part of the living being, that part which is his constant companion. That constant companion is his eternal quality, and that eternal quality is his eternal religion.
The constitutional position of the living being is the rendering of service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If we analyze this statement, we can easily see that every living being is constantly engaged in rendering service to another living being. A living being serves other living beings in two capacities. By doing so, the living entity enjoys life. The lower animals serve human beings as servants serve their master. A serves B master, B serves C master and C serves D master and so on. Under these circumstances, we can see that one friend serves another friend, the mother serves the son, the wife serves the husband, the husband serves the wife and so on. If we go on searching in this spirit, it will be seen that there is no exception in the society of living beings to the activity of service. The politician presents his manifesto for the public to convince them of his capacity for service. The voters therefore give the politician their valuable votes, thinking that he will render valuable service to society. The shopkeeper serves the customer, and the artisan serves the capitalist. The capitalist serves the family, and the family serves the state in the terms of the eternal capacity of the eternal living being. In this way we can see that no living being is exempt from rendering service to other living beings, and therefore we can safely conclude that service is the constant companion of the living being and that the rendering of service is the eternal religion of the living being.
Yet man professes to belong to a particular type of faith with reference to particular time and circumstance and thus claims to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or any other sect. Such designations are non-sanatana-dharma. A Hindu may change his faith to become a Muslim, or a Muslim may change his faith to become a Hindu, or a Christian may change his faith and so on. But in all circumstances the change of religious faith does not affect the eternal occupation of rendering service to others. The Hindu, Muslim or Christian in all circumstances is servant of someone. Thus, to profess a particular type of sect is not to profess one's sanatana-dharma. The rendering of service is sanatana-dharma(eternal religion).
Factually we are related to the Supreme Lord in service. The Supreme Lord is the supreme enjoyer, and we living entities are His servitors. We are created for His enjoyment, and if we participate in that eternal enjoyment with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we become happy. We cannot become happy otherwise. It is not possible to be happy independently, just as no one part of the body can be happy without cooperating with the stomach. It is not possible for the living entity to be happy without rendering transcendental loving service unto the Supreme Lord.

Some food for thought -
The position of God is that of supreme consciousness. The souls, or the living entities, being parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, are also conscious.The Lord is conscious, as is the living being, but the living being is conscious of his particular body, whereas the Lord is conscious of all bodies. Because He lives in the heart of every living being, He is conscious of the psychic movements of the particular soul.The Supreme Personality of Godhead, is living in everyone's heart as supersoul, as the controller, and that He is giving directions for the living entity to act as he desires. The living entity forgets what to do. First of all he makes a determination to act in a certain way, and then he is entangled in the actions and reactions of his own karma.
The supreme conscious God is similar to the living entity in this way: both the consciousness of the Lord and that of the living entity are transcendental. It is not that consciousness is generated by the association of matter. That is a mistaken idea. The theory that consciousness develops under certain circumstances of material combination is not accepted. Consciousness may be pervertedly reflected by the covering of material circumstances, just as light reflected through colored glass may appear to be a certain color, but the consciousness of the Lord is not materially affected. When He descends into the material universe, His consciousness is not materially affected. If He were so affected, He would be unfit to speak on transcendental matters.
When we are materially contaminated, we are called conditioned. False consciousness is exhibited under the impression that I am a product of material nature. This is called false ego.One must become free from the bodily conception of life; that is the preliminary activity for the transcendentalist. One who wants to become free, who wants to become liberated, must first of all learn that he is not this material body.
What is this consciousness? This consciousness is "I am." Then what am I? In contaminated consciousness "I am" means "I am the lord of all I survey. I am the enjoyer." The world revolves because every living being thinks that he is the lord and creator of the material world. Material consciousness has two psychic divisions. One is that I am the creator, and the other is that I am the enjoyer. But actually the Supreme Lord is both the creator and the enjoyer, and the living entity, being part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, is neither the creator nor the enjoyer, but a cooperator. He is the created and the enjoyed. For instance, a part of a machine cooperates with the whole machine; a part of the body cooperates with the whole body. The hands, feet, eyes, legs and so on are all parts of the body, but they are not actually the enjoyers. The stomach is the enjoyer. The legs move, the hands supply food, the teeth chew and all parts of the body are engaged in satisfying the stomach because the stomach is the principal factor that nourishes the body's organization. Therefore everything is given to the stomach. One nourishes the tree by watering its root, and one nourishes the body by feeding the stomach, for if the body is to be kept in a healthy state, then the parts of the body must cooperate to feed the stomach. Similarly, the Supreme Lord is the enjoyer and the creator, and we, as subordinate living beings, are meant to cooperate to satisfy Him. This cooperation will actually help us, just as food taken by the stomach will help all other parts of the body. If the fingers of the hand think that they should take the food themselves instead of giving it to the stomach, then they will be frustrated. The central figure of creation and of enjoyment is the Supreme Lord, and the living entities are cooperators. By cooperation they enjoy. The relation is also like that of the master and the servant. If the master is fully satisfied, then the servant is satisfied. Similarly, the Supreme Lord should be satisfied, although the tendency to become the creator and the tendency to enjoy the material world are there also in the living entities because these tendencies are there in the Supreme Lord who has created the manifested cosmic world.
The Lord is very kind to the living entities because they are His sons."I am the father of all." Of course there are all types of living entities according to their various karmas, but here the Lord claims that He is the father of all of them. Therefore the Lord descends to reclaim all of these fallen, conditioned souls to call them back to the eternal sky so that the eternal living entities may regain their eternal positions in eternal association with the Lord. The Lord comes Himself in different incarnations, or He sends His confidential servants as sons or His associates or spiritual masters to reclaim the conditioned souls.

To me, it's all a joke, like astrology. What confirmed this for me was that my sister-in-law is an editor for a national magazine. When the Horoscope lady went of vaction, my sister-in-law wrote the horoscopes for three weeks!
I absolutely believe in intuitiveness. I have been told that I am so intuitive (and right), that it's downright scary. But I think if you listen to people, really listen, and pay attention to them and their actions, you can learn a lot of things.
Sometimes we know stuff we don't 'know.' I knew my husband was having an affair. How? Well, he lost 20 lbs., bought new underwear, starting wearing new cologne, and just felt that he 'had to have some space. I've never had any space, and I just need to think.' Know what? Those are all signs when you say, "What's her name?"
