I know you might think it strange, but…
A few months ago, last year, I had spent nearly an entire day and night desperately searching for a free psychic reading on the internet. I just felt so lost and so hopeless and wanted a little insight.  I didn’t necessarily want my future told; I just wish I knew more about me … a little idea of what to do.
Sometimes (rarely), it feels like I can understand everyone and everything. But most times, especially now, I feel so confused. I wish that things would just get better!  But they don’t. In fact, they get worse and worse. So I ignore the problems now, which is probably a bad thing to do, but it keeps me sane.
I think that psychic phenomena do exist. The problem is, it’s buried behind our everyday stresses and concerns that we overlook it. But deep inside, I know there is knowledge beyond our comprehension. In every dream, in every intuitive thought… But it’s so difficult to concentrate when the world around you is falling.
So… guess what I found in my search for a psychic? I found a nice test reading where you’re shown cards, concentrate on one, and a psychic on the other end removes the card: www(dot)onlinepsychic(dot)com/main/m_testread_c1(dot)shtml The comments afterwords are ignorable though, as they repeat every time. So far, I’ve tried this more than 15 times and the psychic got it right every time! (If you can find a way a computer program could do that, let me know!) I think they’re getting annoyed with my coming there, though. FAKE
What else… I found a forum where people can speak to and learn from psychics, but I was hesitant to enter my birth date so I left. I want to find it again, but I can’t.
I also found a site where people ask questions to a supposed psychic through free psychic chat, but I feel like that one’s a hoax, since his answers are so vague. It purely annoys me.
Every other thing I found either cost money or was for someone 18 or older… I’m only 17. 🙁
If I was a developed psychic, I would give people who really need them at no cost. If you can do something amazing, and can afford to, why not help the people who need it the most?

Yeah, I know what you mean. Humans only use like I forgot how many percent of their brain. I think 8 or 10? So yeah, I believe physics can sometimes exist.
The tests though, might not be true. Since there are tests that might play mind games with you that make you choose certain things. That’s how some magicians use “magic” with cards and stuff.
Personally, I believe everyone is psychic. Just very few people have developed the ability.
The test was very straightforward. I don’t know how it could have played a mind game, since it shows the same cards every time. Get this: I showed my mom the test reading, and let her sit by computer and try it. While she was concentrating on a card, I went to the other room, intensely thought of a different card, and came back to see her disappointed that it didn’t work for her. Apparently, though, the card I had been thinking of in the other room had been removed!
It’s very curious. But the fact that no real psychic is willing to help people for free is purely frustrating.
Well, I can’t dismiss that there are true psychics out there and that everyone has the potential of that. I think that’s how some people get deja vu, like it’s them being able to see the future but just forgot it or something.
Psychics don’t work for free, yeah. None do that. Those that do, most are fakes that just lies to make money. They’ll tell readings based off what you’ve told them or from books that they’ve read that have similarities… or something that they think you would be happy to hear so you can pay them. Most are like that. Seriously. I do believe that there might be some real psychics out there though.
And I realized I typed physics instead psychics earlier, do excuse the bad spelling. hehe.
lol I always confuse “physics” and “psychics”. Crazy how “metaphysics” often has to do with “psychics”. Who on Earth thought of that annoying spelling?!
Psychics *could* work for free if they wanted to. Well, not poor ones, but I’m sure there is at least one wealthy psychic out there. And even poor ones, wouldn’t that be a great form of advertisement?
Yeah, there are way too many fakes. (I think freepsychicnetwork(dot)com is completely fake, but I’m not sure). I think the best way to tell is from other people’s experiences with them.
The reason I even considered seeing a psychic was from my mom’s curiosity. She checked out some books in the library that went in depth on the subject. Unfortunately, developing psychic ability requires at least a month of consistently sitting down and concentrating… but I’m always so busy!
I wonder… Deep abyss, did you try the card test? Did it work?
Ok seriously, ditch the psychic stuff. It’s a load of crap, just there to let people con you out of your money. That’s why you’ll never find it for free. You need to look towards science, “The pursuit of truth”, backed up by fact, not superstition. There is simply no evidence to suggest any of the psychic stuff actually works. And what people claim to work is only because they want it to work, they believe it, so in their mind they try to make it work, and the illusion is that it does. But the things psychics say can be applied to anyone, really. Don’t waste your time or money. You can’t see into the future. Nobody can. If you want to know more about yourself, ask the people that know you – your friends, your family, and yourself of course.
@Deep abyss – that’s a myth about only using a small percent of our brain. It was a misinterpreted scientific study, we do actually use all of our brain – just not all at once.
That card test you gave is a complete fake. I’m a programmer, and I can tell you EXACTLY how you can do that with a computer program, and exactly how you can tell it’s fake.
When you are first shown the cards, quickly write them all down. ALL of them, not just one. When they show you the remaining four, check all the cards you wrote down. They are ALL gone. The four cards are completely different cards.
For example:
Mine started with:
King Hearts
Jack Clubs
King Spades
Queen Diamonds
Queen Spades
Jack Diamonds
And the four remaining cards:
Queen Clubs
King Diamonds
Queen Hearts
King Clubs
Jack Hearts
So whichever card you choose, it works – cos they ALL change. It’s simple distraction. They ask you to concentrate on one card and ignore the rest. So if you follow their instructions, you’re unlikely to notice the distraction.
All “psychic” abilities are based on this confusion/distraction or a variation of it. Don’t fall for it. I know it’s nice to believe, but seriously, don’t waste your time effort or money. Take it from someone who knows.
Damn it. I feel so stupid as to not notice that! >(
I’m a programmer too… So far I’ve only learned java. Now i feel so damn stupid. Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid
I still believe that there are psychics out there. Just… very very few. And not on the internet. Screw the internet.
Hell, I don’t pay for anything! Because I don’t have any money!
Okay, I’m pissed off now. Sometimes I really need to pay attention!
But just because you can prove this is a fake doesn’t mean that all psychics are fake. Just that there are WAY too many fakes!
If you studied a little more about psychic phenomena, you’d learn that real psychic experiences are not vague at all. There is plenty of evidence. There’s a reason there are so many metaphysics schools.
But screw that. I’d rather find out on my own. Which is why I’m going to check that book out of the library and try again. :p
If I was paying for it, I’d probably pay more attention, by the way. And I *am* a programmer (OK, more like programmer in training) too — I’ve been in computer science for three years and I have a competition next weekend. I just can’t get over that. Damn.
If the universe was strictly tangible, I wouldn’t want to live in it… which I guess is why so many of us are here.
Not stupid, just human. You’re not the only person to fall for that trick! It’s just how the human mind works.
Any “evidence” supporting psychic stuff is flawed. Trust me. Stick with the computer science. It’s all proven and supported by evidence 🙂
Thanks. But I better shape up before that competition!
Of course I’ll stick with computer science. It’s the only fun course I’m taking! 🙂
Sorry, but I’m keeping an open mind. It can’t hurt to check the book (it’s a how-to book… pathetic?) out again. Even if I can’t be sure if the evidence is correct or not, I can be sure what I see with my own two eyes… if nothing comes then I’ll just forget it. …but not until the summer. I don’t have time for that stuff right now.
Fair enough, no harm in keeping an open mind I guess! The harm comes when people use it to exploit people and con them out of their cash for some false sense of hope. That’s what really grates on me anyway.

Ugh. I’d bet at least one half of all known “psychics” are con artists. Reminds me of that TV preacher Robert Tilton who told people to send in prayer requests and a $5 donation, then ripped up the requests and took the money — he went to jail, thank goodness (Though it wouldn’t have cost him anything to actually read the requests!).
It’s disgusting. How can people like that live with themselves? Maybe false psychics actually have such a big ego that they tricked themselves into believing the lie?
lol! “Unforseen circumstances”! Never going there!
Angel Ash, please don’t kill yourself. After speaking with you, I can tell your a good, smart person. The world needs more kind, intelligent people to offset the evil-intended, intelligent people. Plus the world is short of female computer programmers!
There are many gifted people in the world….however their ability comes from a true source…the same source that says you are to breathe or not, gives life and takes life.
Why were you desperately looking for a free psychic reading? You’re asking for trouble my friend as many are out to (as it was said earlier) , exploit you. Been going on for centuries. Look to yourself for the answers, they lay within you. That’s the path.
Why is life getting worse?
I am not a psychic or whatsoever,
But I would simply say that it would be too arrogant and even naïve of us, humans with only limited five senses, living in a 3D-world, and has only been in a tiny fraction of Earth’s history, let alone the vast Universe’s,..to proudly and boastfully concluded that there is only ONE type of reality/world: this our material world.
Even Einstein dismissed this boastful notion as foolish and close-minded.
Sure, there are probably not enough ‘scientific evidence/proof’, but science is science, with its own method. While psychic is not necessarily a science
(and besides, there are other type of ‘proof’ which is also valid, for example, anecdotal testimonies gathered and observed and analyzed. It doesn’t always have to be tested/proven under microscopic experiments, so to speak).
And sure, there are tricksters and liars, but they are in every field, even in our daily life, not only limited to psychics.
We have to be open-minded, but surely also be cautious of scams and tricks and lies, to be connected FULLY in this Universe and Life.
@Softsoul
Oh, don’t worry. I’m very careful of that sort of thing. I would never pay or give any personal information to a psychic I find on the internet. And I doubt I would pay much attention to their advice if it wasn’t specific. I’m very wary on the internet.
In any case, I’ve come to the conclusion that you stated: That if I want answers, I look inside myself.
As for what is wrong, not only have my grades dropped dramatically and I’m failing 3 classes, but my parents are at their ends with each other. My dad’s wasting money impulsively and has built up vengeful, untrusting thoughts against my mom. We’re terrified to end up on the street. We’ve concluded that the only way we’ll survive is if my dad goes. Supposedly, while I’m at school right now, my dad is packing at home. All this time, my parents have been arguing constantly. There’s little to no peace at home.
@Niki
Completely agree with what you just said.
Sorry NeverKnown, but this world just isn’t the place for someone like me. Without intending to sound arrogant, sometimes I think I’m too smart… knowing what I know about the world, and how it works, the only way I can see myself being happy is by winning the lottery or something, anything to enable me to not have to deal with “the system”. So I’m gonna give myself a chance, buy a ticket (or a few) and if I win, I’ll stay. If not, I’ll go.
Funny you mention about “female” programmers… that’s one of my problems 🙁 I Wasn’t exactly born female… not physically anyway. Medical science has done what it can, but I’m not whole. Never felt whole, and probably never will do. It’s not the only reason, I wish it were… but it’s a biggie in that long list of reasons.
@Angel Ash
There are other smart people on the world like you. Due to a chronic lack of sleep, I doubt I’m part of that group, but you are not alone. Together, the brightest are already bringing significant change through communications and the system itself.
Don’t put yourself on the spot like that just because you’re distraught. And technically, the lottery is part of the system — it’s a game set up by the government that lures people into giving large amounts cash to the system. The chances of winning are so low, that it becomes based on pure belief… on luck. You don’t seem like the person who likes uncertainty or the system.
But I know, it’s very hard. But if you can’t beat the system… well, why not *shape* it? …or slowly tear it apart…?
Sorry, didn’t mean to bring up a touchy subject. But, ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what gender you are, Angel Ash. The important thing is that you have the abilities and the character improve this world for the better. And I’m sure many agree.
If the smartest caring people left the world, imagine what kind of people would be left behind.
@NeverKnown – Trust me, I have tried to inspire change. Alas, another of my problems is that I am not a people person. I can’t lead. And I’m not the type of person to follow. And one person on their own cannot make a difference.
There are many thousands of people out there trying to change the world in all sorts of ways… but change is too slow. I tire of waiting. In my short life, very little will change enough to make a difference to my life. I cannot have and do not want kids, so I have no reason to change it for them.
Yes the lottery is part of the system… but I have a backup plan, if I don’t win, I’m going to play the system and make sure that those I leave behind benefit from it. My last F**K YOU before I go.
@Angel Ash
I don’t know about that. I’ve heard about people making a difference on their own — through books, through websites… (You can write very well by the way.) Many times, the wait and the pain is worth it.
I’d bet those you leave behind would miss you very much.
I hope you change your mind.
They will. But death happens. I could get run over by a bus tomorrow and they will miss me just as much. If they can understand my reasoning though, they will be happy for me, knowing that I am finally “free”. Plus, I’m one of those people who likes to know where, when and how it’s going to end. I need to be in control of that. I’m shit scared of all the things that could (and are likely) to happen to me if I don’t do it myself.
There’s only a few people who will -really- be sad. My mum and dad to a certain extent, but I’m not close to them anyway. My auntie loves me, but she’ll get over it. Rarely see her anyway cos she lives so far away. It will have the biggest impact on my girlfriend, but she needs to find someone else anyway. I can’t give what she needs, or even what she wants. And although I love her, I can’t stand to be with her any more for a number of really strange reasons that I won’t go into. I actually tried breaking up with her but it didn’t work. I couldn’t voice my reasons. I still love her. There is only one way out for me cos even though I am not happy with her I will not be happy without her either. When I’m gone she will be able to find someone who can really look after her like I never could and give her everything she needs. She’ll get over it, in time. Sucks that it has to be this way though, but if I plan carefully, at least I can take care of her financially. Can do more for her in death that I ever could in life.
@Angel Ash
Sure, anyone could die at any moment, but I think it matters more what happens up to one’s death rather than the details of the death itself. But that’s just me.
And I think it is different whether a person commits suicide or a person gets hit by a bus or a person gets murdered. Some things can be prevented, others can’t.
I’m sorry. That’s terribly sad.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. There’s always another solution, even if it’s not preferable or obvious…
It just sounds so darn difficult, to be in a limbo like that. But things won’t stay the same forever. Sooner or later, you’ll both break up or decide to stay together. Maybe life will improve.
How do you know if she’d be better off afterwords or even get over your death? — Money is only one thing. It’s hard to lose a loved one.
Please think about it. Things do change.
Things don’t change. The things that are wrong in my life are not likely to change for many, many years, if at all. In fact my prediction is that things will only get worse.
There are things wrong with my body that I know that medical science will not be able to make significant progress on in my lifetime. In fact, I lost what should have been the best years of my life because of it. I’m 26, my body is only going to deteriorate in the future. My chance to do the things I really wanted to be able to do have long passed. I achieved what I could with what I had and for that I am grateful, but now I have come to the point where the only things left that I want from life are practical impossibilities. There simply IS no other solution for me. (If you’re wondering what sort of things I’m talking about, I’d rather not explain on a public forum, but I’d be happy to explain it to you in private – ashes2ashes2dust (at) gmail dot com )
We have kind of decided to stay together. I just can’t bring myself to properly break up with her – she honestly won’t let me! lol. Strange as that sounds, but the only way I could leave her is to start a full on argument, but that would just be weird… and she’d be hella confused.
But that’s just the thing – I don’t WANT to break up with her. I’d be depressed as f**k if I did that. But I don’t want to be with her either. Massive contradiction I know, but the thing is, I don’t want to be with her BECAUSE I love her so much yet I cannot provide her with what she needs. Either way, my life will not improve.
Everyone gets over death eventually. It’s human nature to mourn and grieve. Maybe she won’t, but I can only do my best to explain to her in my note how I feel so she can be happy for me.
I think my cat knows something is up. She won’t leave me alone lol.
Quite a situation.
Yeah, animals seem to sense things…
OK, I’ll email you.
If I’m off for a while it’s because I’m eating supper — I’ll be back in 30 min or so.
