Do you believe in psychics?

Question

Do you believe in psychics?

Answer 1

Physics is in a crisis ever since the 19-th century, which makes be believe there is an error somewhere; just look how band-aid it looks like: for every thing there must be an elementary particle - as if a system was the sum of it's components, major driving forces in nature never get explained - as if discovering a formula could explain the very nature of that force etc.

Besides, there is still no common platform but tiny physics minding their own small number of phenomena as if one little physic was unrelated to the others.

Answer 2

not really, but i could be pursuaded

Answer 3

Psychism is normal.  We all have the ability.  You receive 'feelings' about things.  That feeling is your intuitive awareness, which is nothing more than tapping into other realms, other than our every-day three dimensional awareness, wherein we are rushed, driven by the ego, in defense mode, etc.  When you relax the mind and enter into a state of non-awareness, letting everything of this world go, you enter into a state of consciousness which is beyond this little one, you do this enough, and your mind does not control you anymore, but your intuition guides you... and you are wise to allow it so.  Trust in that, is being psychic.  You receive from other dimensions, other realities, other people, etc, because you have let go of your idea of what is.

Answer 4

Yes, I have somewhat the gift.

Answer 5

Yes ,,

There are theory.. by formulas

and

Experimentation (ACTUAL) usually on Labs

compare with % error

Answer 6

Sure.

Answer 7

No.  I think you'll find most intelligent well grounded people wont.  Common sense tells us it is illogical.  

Science has proved that people cant read other peoples minds nor see in to the future.

Answer 8

It's hard to prove or disprove psychic abilities, particularly clairvoyance.  For the most part, you will find most psychic clairvoyance readings are purely suggestive and generalised and appeal to you to make a connection between the reading and your own life.  E.g. The statement "You are going through a struggle" applies to practically everyone!

So to a large extent, no I don't believe much in psychics and I chalk a lot of things up to coincidence or power of suggestion.  To the smaller extent however, I'll admit that sometimes I have to believe in them because there isn't a rational alternative explanation.

Answer 9

NO ! No one can "see" into the future . These "psychics" use a variety of methods to con people into believing they can foretell the future . Some of these methods are VERY convincing .

It has never been proven they have any more "powers" than anyone else . There`s a way "psychics" could prove to the world they have extraordinary powers , but yet they steer clear of so much as even discussing this . The reason is obvious , of course .

Psychics could prove , once and for all , that they can "see"  the future simply by guessing the winning lottery numbers for two consecutive lotteries . No and`s , if`s , or but`s ! This would show people they`re not scammers , connivers , and fraud artists .

If they could do all these things they claim they can , where are  national headlines such as the following ? :

Psychic wins $50 million  dollar lottery ............. for the 9th time in a row !

You recall seeing these headlines yet ? ....... no ? .......... why not ? The answer of course , is obvious !

They can`t even help themselves , so how on earth are they going to help YOU ?

A while back on Q&A , a "psychic" answered that question by saying they`re not interested in money .......... they do it only to help people .

I say , if you believe a load of bullcrap like that , you`re in serious trouble ! EVERYONE wants money ! If they don`t do it for the money , WHY does money ALWAYS enter into the equation at some point in your visits to them ? Why do they charge you for their "services" in that case ?

Psychics DO have an ability I`ll admit . They have the ability to part a sucker from his hard-earned money !

Most "psychics" are in their "profession" only because they`re losers at everything else , and all they have left is cheating empty-headed people out of their money . What a way to make a living !

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

No.

Answer 12

No, I don't. All controlled tests of psychic powers have utterly failed. There are psychics like Sylvia Browne and John Edward who are cold readers and frauds of the highest order, who tell lies in their books about the accuracy of their predictions whereas a tally of their predictions shows what miserable failures they are. There are other psychics, less famous or perhaps not famous at all, who supposedly can tell your future, communicate with your pets or spirits in your house, do astral projection, etc., but again there is no scientific evidence whatsoever for any of these things.

Based on the utter lack of evidence and rather fantastic nature of psychics' claims, I do not believe that they have any special powers at all.

Answer 13

Well, I've never seen a real one.So probably not.Here's a link.

Answer 14

no.  this is only imagination , fantasy and a game of your brain nothing else.

Answer 15

Only one.

Answer 16

i do believe that there are many people who are sensitive with the enhanced abilities to observe people and the environment.  

i myself have had prophetic 'dreams' that have come true that have made my friends uncomfortable.

animals are known predictors of natural disasters because they are attune to different frequencies that humans.

i also believe that there are many unscrupulous people that take advantage of other's fears to bilk them out of money.

the are others who use their abilities to help people,  if you have 'court TV' there is a series devoted to such people.  they have been able to provide information that have helped solve many crimes and in some instanced, save lives.

Answer 17

I knew you were going to ask that question

Answer 18

sure and I believe everyone has the ability- they just haven't developed it or are suppressing it.

Answer 19

Well, by this time if there were such a thing, someone somewhere would have been able to demonstrate the ability in a scientifically controlled environment.  But this has NEVER happened.

It seems they miss on their predictions all of the time.  So evidently are guessing.  They cannot even predict the simplest of events with an accuracy greater than chance.

I have seen the most famous ones flub up unbelievably in video clips posted on the internet, and on TV.

I do not see them out there able to solve crimes.  Just rhetoric.

I have seen what appear to be some very clever con artists who claim it, but really can't do it.

So my answer is NO.  Not until some kind of evidence surfaces.  

Of course there are those out there who will believe without evidence, and will accept as evidence what is really not evidence,  so I guess the field will always exists.

Answer 20

I not only believe 100% that it's real, but intuition has saved my life and my own abilities have saved the life of at least two others.  That is proof enough for me.

We are all connected to what we call Life Force Energy. Which is the same as Qi or Chi.  This energy carries and intelligence and has been proven time and time again through out our history. Especially with divination tools. As one example: Workers have used dousing rods to find water, or lines under the ground and still to this day are used.  

Most psychic events are more subtle for us all: like intuition, gut feeling, heightened senses, etc. We all have it but many times do not realize the signs that are right in our face.
