Have you ever had a psychic reading and do you believe in it?

Nothing will ever convince a genuine skeptic :)
But if you want to widen your horizons a bit, you can always read up on:

Quantum Entanglement (Einsteins "Spooky action at a distance").
The Double Slit Experiment.
The Big Bang (how our universe started from one nondimensional point).
The String Theory (existence of other dimensions).

I remember hearing some famous physicist saying something like this on the Discovery Channel: "The deeper you go in physics, the more metaphysical it gets" - most probably it was Stephen Hawking.

If one half of a photon can >instantly< know what happens with the other half, even at a big distance... and if all matter and energy was once in one nondimensional place... then maybe all matter is entangled with all matter ?!?!? maybe some part of our brains (which is made of the same entangled matter) can read this info somehow... telepathy ?

Just accept that it may be possible.
Don't say "i believe" or "i disbelieve".
 
Oh and the "if i was a psychic i would be rich" argument to disprove the possibility...

L O L

What if the famous investor Warren Buffet is one of them ??? Would it be smart if he revealed his secret to everyone ? He may think that if he can do it, then with some incentive (earning billions for example), at least few of the 7 billions people would become a big competition... ;)
If he is a psychic, he will want to be the only one.
And if you win a lottery, because you can read the future... you will want to keep it a secret and repeat it, not to announce to all casinos and lotteries that you are the biggest danger to their business and that they need to ban you and check every next winner for any possible connections with you...
 
I'm going to say I'm a skeptic (even if I see, I don't necessarily believe) but just for historical precedents/background. Superstition has always been the substitute for knowledge, enough reason for me not to believe in whatever fenomena around.

Think of a couple of men from the past. Not 2 ignorants from 500 BC but some regular ones from 1900. They would never believe you if you'd tell them what you can do now with a last generation phone or a computer.

If there's an explanation, we'll know. If there isn't, God and ghosts are not the substitute as we used to do when something had no explanation, like eclipses that were used by those who knew the sky to manipulate people.

Keeping the mind open is not the possibility of a spirits world but a chance to say everything has been eventually unveiled by science. It's been weeks since we know wifi, microwaves, wii, phones can cause insomnia or bad sleeping e.g.

Having that said and about readers, I had an experience with a father of a friend of mine when I went for a massage when I hurt my neck. He ended asking if I wanted to be read so he could tell me every disease/illness/condition I could have without touching me, and I said why not, this is going to be fun. So there he was trying to read something in a more "medical" way by talking with my *hold tight* Guardian Angel! but I was stone cold trying not to make inflections on my voice tone, gestures, movements so he didn't manage to be very trust worthy. Everything he nailed was through a very intense deduction from the bits of information I was saying, as my body was saying nothing.

Oh and another reader told a friend she was going to have a baby before 18 when we were 17. She's 34 now and no babies.

Massive fail around here, history wins, sorry.
 
I WISH I was psychic. I would know the winning lotto numbers and be one rich motherfucker.

I could be wrong, but I'm quite sure the machine that rolls the lotto balls is built so that they can spit any ball they want out of it to get least amount of full hits or so.
 
I'm VERY sceptic! I don't believe in any of this mambo jambo. But I went to an old lady once that supposedly does this kind of thing, she doesn't call herself a psychic nor she charges any money! If you want to pay you can pay, if not you don't! Simple.
When I got into the room with her I swear to god, she told everything about me, what was happening with my life, with my gf at the time, my friends, etc, she got like into a trance and started busting out everything about me, my life in poetry form without any pause or hesitation. It was fucking nuts.

It's exactly what i have been refering in my precedent post. As usual... There is an excuse. I understand about keeping a secret, but a less well known not that rich person ?

And we know human nature. Psychic or not, a part of us wants dame money and power. So if psychic existed, a lot would feel the need to exist as such In society. Especially since there is no proven psychic today%
