In this last in our 3 part series of psychic theory we're going to cover just a few of the tools psychics use to predict the future or simply to communicate with the dead.
One of the most popular ways of seeing into the future is Astrology. If you look up the definition of Astrology in the dictionary you'll find something like this...
"The study of the positions and aspects of celestial bodies in the belief that they have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs."
In other words, how the stars and planets line up will determine just how good or bad a day you're going to have.
If you look in your daily newspaper you will see a section that reads "horoscopes." This is where you look under when you were born to see what kind of day it's going to be and read any kind of advice the astrologist might have for you on that day, such as "be kind to a stranger. This may help you with an ongoing relationship problem." There are many people who actually believe in Astrology and horoscopes and believe that the stars and planets indeed have an impact on our lives. Right or wrong, they certainly keep the Astrologists in business.
Another popular means of looking into the future, and for that matter into one's past, is Tarot Card reading. Tarot cards go back to ancient times. A typical deck of Tarot cards has 78 cards in it; 52 minor arcana and 26 major arcana. Each card has a meaning and depending on where they turn up in a reading, the most common being the Celtic Cross, this determines seeing into person's past and being able to predict their future. There are Tarot reading establishments just about everywhere and now on the Internet even more so. Tarot cards equally rival Astrology in popularity.
Another form of telling about someone in detail is Numerology. Numerology is the science of taking things such as a person's name, address, birth date, etc., and doing a numerological analysis on these things. Each letter in the alphabet is given a numerical value and based on these values a numerologist can tell you something about your name and what kind of person that makes you. While this form of divination is not quite as popular as Astrology and Tarot Cards, it does have a substantial following.
After those three the rest of the lot is pretty much up for grabs as far as popularity. Psychics can predict the future or tell something about a person's life by reading tea leaves, reading their palm, looking into a crystal ball, using the I-Ching, and using coins, marbles, matchsticks, dice and just about anything that they can get their hands on. Yes, there are more kinds of psychic phenomena than you can possibly imagine.
And what exactly does this all mean and what does it prove, if anything? Again, like religion, nobody has ever REALLY been able to prove anything and while my associate is a psychic himself, he is the first to admit that this is a science based solely on faith.
He adds in closing, "That's what makes it so wonderful."
