A Tear For The Mislead Psychic
Written By: Mistress Ravenfyre
There comes a time when we all must come to terms with those that use their wondrous abilities for the wrong reasons. Some will use for profit, taking money from those that can not afford it. Bringing them into a world that is full of lies and illusions of what will not ever happen to them. The clients come to them placing their trust and faith into these psychics palms. Only which at a later time, if at all, do they find that they were dupped and swindled. Hopefully, this will happen before their money is depleted.
This is not about those psychic abusers. Not this time, maybe later. No, this is about those with the gift that wish so deeply to be seen and heard by others that they cross the line between mundane and psychic knowledge, in order to gain respect by those around them that ask for psychic help. These psychics will rely on common instinct in giving advice. They do not seek the answers of guides, Gods, Goddesses, they simply apply good old fashioned common sense. Yet, while doing so they proclaim it is what they have seen or felt. This is misleading, not only for the person seeking answers but to the psychic themselves.
What is it that these individuals really want? They wish to have a following of glossy eyed, people who do not know how to get in touch with their rightful spirituality, asking them questions. They wish to have their own court you might say. It builds their self esteem by having these people seek their advice. The advice often times is something that if the questioner tried with thought would come to them in any given situation. They do not trust their own intuition for the answers. The psychic adviser they have found feeds them what they already know. This is Mundane Knowledge.
The psychic, now has moved into the world of “Spiritual Advisor” or “Teacher", calling those individuals their students. They are not students, they are those with problems needing a sounding board to express what they are feeling. They have already given you the answer but you return it to them in fancy, spiritual tones. You are not a teacher nor are you a true spiritual guide when you are taking this route. You are no better than the gypsy fortune teller that swindles by deceit. You are deceiving yourself but worse those with problems.
You forget to tell them that they should use their own instincts, to ask themselves the same questions, to go with their gut feelings. No, you play the role of Guide for prestige. You want so badly to prove yourself and ability that you do not use it properly. You have not become the advisor, the teacher or the guide. You have wasted your talent by greed of status.
Most of us that have the visionary talent are truthful. If we are allowed to tell what we see or feel, then we do so. Be it good or bad, we will share. True teachers do not give false hopes because we do not wish to hurt those asking a question nor do we use what we have been told as the answer. Using the questioners own answer is simply not right.
Why do you wish to be a guide anyway? Have you ever asked yourself this? No, you may not get money for your advice, but in a way you do. Your payment is greed of a different type. Greed of feeding off the weak of the moment. This is a pound of gold in many ways. As it fills not your pockets but your self bloated inner ego.
I am saddened by your actions, your self imposed titles. I weep for those that believe in you for they are so desperate for answers that they only heard your voice and not their own. You are hurting the innocent seekers by your falsehoods.
My eyes fill with tears for those that have earned the title of guide, advisor and teacher only to be laughed at, doubted or even feared. The teachers and guides that at the end of the day are exhausted from what they do not energized. For those are the others that you are hurting by false prophesies based on common sense.
Please do not use what you have been given to suit yourself only. Use your gift wisely, openly and with love. Love for those that you really wish to help, those that have entered for a reason. They are not your converts, your people, your students. They are humans that are in need of spiritual guidance. Spiritual guidance only will come from those that give of themselves not give for themselves.
I shed a tear of despair that you will see the way before you hurt someone unintentionally.
