How inexperienced or unscrupulous psychics and mediums can fool a babysitter
Many caregivers tend to get very emotional and are extremely impressed with the ability of an accurate psychic/medium who can gather information about caregivers, their past and present situations and also their loved ones in the Spirit World. This response to accurate evidence and the trust building it supports, while welcome, can easily be misused or abused by an unscrupulous outlet. The trust that a caretaker develops with their medium about issues of the spirit world, with which the uninitiated are unfamiliar or inexperienced, makes them vulnerable to statements and opinions from the psychic/medium that go beyond proper decorum and your professional experience. The model who wholeheartedly believes what the medium/psychic tells them about her future may be subject to the personal biases and self-serving statements of an unscrupulous medium.
It is true that a very competent medium can sometimes receive information about the future of the portrayed from the Spirit World. However, an inexperienced or unscrupulous medium, perceiving the vulnerability of the sitter and his willingness to believe what he says, may decide to make prognoses about the sitter’s future even though he has not received information from the Spirits. They may do this to keep the keeper impressed with her skill. An unscrupulous medium may lie or exaggerate about what information and the type of contact they are capable of making. They may even go so far as to claim that they are bonding with the carer’s deceased loved ones and give the impression that they are in contact with the Spirit World.
Psychics and mediums are naturally good observers and can use this particular ability to glean clues and fish for information by observing people’s reactions and body language. In addition to observing body language and reactions, psychics and mediums can gain clues about their models by “tuning in” to their models’ aura. They may collect information about deceased loved ones from caregivers, for example, their names, personality, shared memories, etc., without actually connecting with the spirits in the spirit world. However, uninformed attendees impressed by this display would naturally assume that the psychic/medium is in contact with deceased loved ones in the spirit world.
This deception or deceit is not only unfair to the sitter, but is also detrimental to the profession and other media.
As a medium, I am very interested in witnessing how other professional mediums work with the spirit world, and I have been lucky enough to have had quite a few seances with competent and principled mediums. However, before I entered spiritualism I had several readings from some “famous psychics” and had unpleasant experiences. A devious and suspicious tactic used was that they would immediately ask questions about my life situation and draw conclusions about my future life from what I said. They said, for example, that I would be divorced within a year, which did not happen. One of those psychics asked me if he had an older man in the spirit world, to which I answered in the affirmative, while informing the psychic that my father-in-law is in the spirit world. The psychic went on to say that my father-in-law was on hold because he desperately wanted to return to earth, and that he would not listen to his guides in the spirit world, something he believed in at first. hour. This type of information can cause stress rather than comfort to a caregiver and certainly goes against one of the purposes of mediumship, which is to bring comfort and healing to the bereaved.
The bottom line is that the psychic or medium is there to heal their caretakers rather than harm and deceive the vulnerable. Unfortunately, there are psychics and mediums who choose to practice an unethical form of mediumship and psychic readings, either with or without their conscious knowledge.
