Do some people have psychic abilities?

It’s a metaphor...

Two people listening to the same radio station will have tuned their sets to receive the same wavelength broadcast.

It compares two people thinking the same thought with that.

So two people thinking different thoughts would be compared with two radio sets tuned to different wavelengths.

At some point this metaphor seems to have been pressed into service as a way of making the notion of exceptional humans with a rare sixth sense sound “sciency”.

Picture if you will , a room .. a woman sits at a table with a dark lace tablecloth over it, behind her surrounded by dark curtains cover the walls hides the tape recorder . Behind her ,,she operates the recorder playing the sounds of a whispering wind.. over and over ....with a slow soft heartbeat tone in the background..... come in Please, Sit down .... a deck of tarot cards lies on the little round table between you two . Soft smell of jasmine floats about the room from a inscense burner over to your right hand side . Then She asks for your hand , upon examining your palms , she reveals to you , This is not a good week for you to travel ... a low 15 mhz frequency begins to hum over the tape recorders speakers .
Your financial life could be in jeopardy she says... Fixing her gaze into your palm . Then she repeats softly but definitely " Do not Travel " Someone you know is about to become very ill....... on and on and on... Now we have the corona virus out there , So yaah prolly 'someone is gonna get sick '. from who knows what ? And with the virus thing , and its media build up . people freak out , so the news is saying all the countries with quarantenes... So the travel industry is suffering , the airplane travel is suffering .. less flights people are being more conservative with their money .. the entire economies all around are gonna go down . 'SOOO,,,, yes your finances are gonna suffer ' is a good guess. aIl business is slow , people also get laid off.. but in reality .. allow me to do my own PROGNOSTICATION here : This isn't going to last and if you buy stock in a major airline , after the epidemic scare dies off .. People whom bought airline stock , while it is down Now , will make money as soon as travel scares go away.. Cause Airline travel will go up . Am i psychic? or is this common sense ............? All this just cause my crystalball was tuned into the right frequency that day . btw agrees some peeps get on similiar wavelengths

Picture, if you will, an ordinary room in a ordinary neighborhood decorated in an ordinary manner except for the emphasis on spiritual esoterica.

In that room is a man reviewing his university textbook on behavioral psychology while he monitors the closed-circuit video from the street, driveway and front door. A calico cat grooms itself in an overstuffed chair in the corner. Music featuring flutes, chimes and harps plays softly from an unseen source.

Soon, a shiny black Mercedes pulls up. He sees that the left front corner has been damaged. Out steps a woman dressed in black-and-white officewear. She stops, fumbles in her purse, and pulls out an inhaler. She leans against the car as she takes two doses. She walks toward the door slowly, favoring her left leg.

She stops at the door, reads the sign, and glances at her right wrist for the time (on a "cocktail" watch). She hesitates a moment, then knocks on the door.

"Show time", says the man to the cat.

He goes to the door and lets the woman in. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she sits at the table. The man goes into the kitchen.

The cat ("Brunhilde") gets up, stretches, and gazes at the woman. She smiles and coaxes the cat over to be petted and scratched. Eventually, the cat ends up on her lap, and both seem contented.

The man returns with a tea cart, complete with service and biscuits ("cookies" in the U.S.). She selects a single piece and waits for the man to pour.

As they sip their tea, the woman says, "I don't usually visit psychics ... too many stories about old ladies being taken for everything ... you know?"

He smiles. "No worries. I'm not really what you would call a 'psychic'. I'm just sensitive to spiritual influences ... sorta like being able to tell the weather by the way the wind blows."

There is silence as she seems to ponder this new information. "But the sign says 'Psychic' ..."

He rolls his eyes. "City requirement. Like that sign behind me: 'For Entertainment Purposes Only'. Gotta have those displayed prominently or I might lose my license."

"I see ..."

"You seem to be feeling troubled ... anxious ... some recent event ... unexpected ..."

"A car accident."

"Yes ... not your fault, of course. What did the doctor say?"

"Doctor ... ? Oh ... muscle strain ... take some Ibuprofen ... get some rest ... that sort of thing."

"What about people at the office?"

"The usual, I guess ... it's a new car, only a week old, and I'm still getting used to it."

"I suppose being designed for right-handed people only adds to the confusion."

"How did ... ? I'm left-handed ... always getting picked on for it, too ..."

"... and you often found comfort with a favorite pet ..."

"My cat, Rhiannon. How did ... ?"

"Spiritual influences ... now, about those people who picked on you ... siblings ... no, classmates. Jealous of you ... your ambition ... your fashion sense ... your grades ..."

"Yes, I was a cheerleader, too. All the guys used to strut and preen to get my attention. Silly boys. There was one in particular..."

("Bingo!"), he thinks, smiling.

The conversation goes back and forth like this for about 20 minutes. Toward the end, the man summarizes.

"It seems that you enjoy your independence, even while you have concerns for your ability to handle life on your own.
You enjoy the lack of demands on your time, yet you often find yourself with extra time on your hands. You value your career, and have had a steady (if not spectacular) rise through the ranks; but you sense that something is missing. This recent collision has intensified your doubts as to your goals in life. You enjoy the control your economic and social status have given you, yet you secretly wish there was someone you could lean on. The other driver was kind and apologetic, and you wonder if you will see him again. All I can say is that the door has been opened, and whoever walks through it will depend on your willingness to let go of the past and embrace your future."

He gestures toward a glass vase, labelled "Gifts & Offerings", with several 20-dollar bills visible. She adds to it, thanks him, and leaves.

"Eighty dollars," he says. "Not a bad haul."

Meanwhile, on her way home...

"Celia! You were right! It's as if he already knew everything about me! ... Yes, I'll definitely go back ... "

Which guy? The one in the narrative was me. The other people writing about cold-reading ... ?

I am not 'psychic', and "Spiritual Influences" is a euphemism I used for "Personality Traits" of my clients.

If those seekers wanted to give me good money to hear what they should already know, then I'm okay with that.

There's a seeker born every minute...

was just having fun with this...... was talking about you doing the narrative.
it really had a nice convincing sound to it . need to get you "Fnord", your very own
800 or 900 phone number . the techniques written about in those books
sound like the real thing to seperate happy suckers from their money.

But am just joking here . Cause the type of physchic stuff , am writing of here , is just exactly the way you describe .And am just having alittle fun with it.

But i do not endorse anyone trying to fool another person out of there hard earned money. even professionally .

If admitting/confessing that I was not 'psychic' and pointing to a sign that said, "For Entertainment Purposes Only" didn't dissuade them, then I felt no guilt at all for taking their monetary gifts.

I find it rather amusing that some who don't believe in psychics believe in God.

I find it amusing that some believe 'psychics' and G^D are somehow related.

ah I see I may of found the resident bully who makes fun of peoples spelling error's , I obviously meant psychic

Meh, it's just experiential-based intuition. Were I 'psychic', I could predict such things and deal with them in advance.
