Are All Psychics and Mediums Frauds?

I never claimed this wasn't the case (albeit I don't believe it's as simple as you suggest).

I used the word "genuine" to differentiate between those who have mediumship ability from those who are in name only.

That's almost right - some people can discern spirits.

That's your opinion. I believe all people can discern spirits, but not everyone does.

Psychic reading can only be as good as the individual doing that reading.

Stating the obvious for conversation's sake is socially awkward.

Psychics -'psychic mediums' - read the individual psychically. How well they do that will vary for a number of reasons.

I know.

Mediums don't predict - psychics may try. Browne's so-called 2020 pandemic prediction was actually a section from her novel ie taken from a work of fiction.

You're entitled to your opinion. Some people believe she was a genuine psychic medium. ;)

My OP wasn't addressed to you and yet you feel so inclined to butt in. I would appreciate it if you heeded Native Spirit's advice to us all to stay on topic.

Thanks

For me a person who can pick up etheric impressions from others,is not a medium.
Empaths sensitives and psychics can do it as well.
This is a psychic ability and not mediumship.

And I made no reference to what she is or isn't. Only that her so-called prediction came from a novel, a work of fiction.

The thread title is "Are All Psychics and Mediums Frauds?" I'm totally on-topic I reckon.

I totally accept your belief.

That's your opinion. I believe all people can discern spirits, but not everyone does.

It's demonstrably the case that some people discern spirits but it's your belief not everyone does - OK.

Claiming someone's novel is "a work of fiction" suggests that she wasn't who she claimed to be. Sylvia believed her book contained predictions about the future.

This isn't an open forum. There are rules against debating or bating someone to a debate which is outlined in the Spiritual Forum Rules thread under the Faq: vBulletin board.
My only intent was to provide a perspective on the question because she asked for it.
Then you to the opportunity to "educate me" on how I should express myself which is irrelevant to my point.
If you feel so entitled to act inconsiderately to others then I'm asking you to ignore my posts.

You reckon wrong then. The topic was asking what you believed on the subject, not "correct" what others feel on the topic.

I totally accept your belief.

Good. And I accept yours.

It's demonstrably the case that some people discern spirits but it's your belief not everyone does - OK.

It is in your opinion there is "demonstrable" evidence to make a claim that only some can discern spirits. It is my belief based on my experiences that everyone can discern spirits.

Thank you.

I will take this opportunity to say:
When in doubt be kind. "" This is not a kind emoji.
There are sensitive, lost and depressed people posting here.

seeing a bad psychic gives us good genuine ones a bad Name.


Namaste

Amen! Its rage inducing. These frauds are not only stealing money from people, but any chance at building a TRUST in legit psychics such as yourself and many of us on this forum.

Its like those stupid horoscopes they keep farting out in every gossip rag. Then people base their entire opinion of astrology on those things. To be fair..some of these "astrolgers" at least extend the effort and sometimes seem like they know what they are saying. But all in all..I've had like 50 career advancements, an army of husbands, lovers and secret admirers. Not to mention the financial rewards. Just wow..

I fear I'll be reprimanded if I say anything so I'll remain stumm.
