How
do you know if you’re psychic? Most people are, to some degree, even if
they don’t refer to themselves that way. Most people have some sense of
what’s coming, even if they don’t quite trust it. In fact, one of the
main reasons people call me is to validate impressions that they have
themselves, and I’m happy to do that. So over the years, I’ve talked
with too many other psychics (though they may not think of themselves
that way) to count. And we all have a few major issues:
First,
we’re all incredibly impatient! We expect what we “see” (or “hear” or
“feel” or “know” or dream, henceforth all referred to as “see”) to
happen immediately. I mean, if we “see” it as true, then why isn’t it
here now? As I remind people constantly, in physical reality, things
take time. Yes, in the spiritual world, things happen as fast as we can
see or imagine them, but in the physical world, actual people and
things have to be in actual places for an event to happen, and it takes
time to move those to the appropriate positions. And most of us are bad
at knowing how long it will take for the reality we “see” to show up.
I
suspect that most of us have particular time signatures for certain
types of events, though those signatures can change over time (I know
mine have gotten faster). What is a time signature? It’s the length of
time between when I choose to create something, and “see” it, and when
it actually happens. I have two types of signatures. My time signature
for things seems to be a few days. That is, when I choose for a thing
to show up, such as a toy basket or a beach chair, they tend to be in
my path within a few days — I don’t go looking for them, they just show
up. But bigger items, like my husband or a meditation group, tend to
take longer — 9 months, in fact.
Second,
we’re all very attached to what we “see”, so that if we don’t “see”
something, or get it wrong, we then invalidate everything else we’ve
ever “seen”. That’s just not so! No psychic is right 100% of the time.
A good one is right 80-85% of the time. So why invalidate what is right
because not all of it is? And I have definitely seen some psychics go
into identity crises because they’ve been wrong. No one expects a stock
picker to be right 100% of the time, and in a way, they’re in the same
business. Why should you expect more of yourself?
Third,
we assume that everyone else is like us. Now to some extent, everyone
is psychic. I really do believe that we’re all born with an innate
connection to all that is, and so we can access this information. But
if you tend to see where things are going, and/or how other people feel
or will act, you tend to assume you’re normal (what is ‘normal’,
anyway?) and that everyone else does this, too. They don’t. At least,
not to the degree that you do. And so we tend to be impatient with
others for not seeing what we see.
