Clairvoyance is not about predicting the future, or giving advice.
The demand to predict the future is intense, and often invalidating.
When you require predictions from outside of you for what is going to happen in the future, you invalidate your own spirit’s ability to see, know, and most importantly, create. You give away your power to create your future. If you get stuck in believing that others outside of yourself have this power, they will gladly choose for you.
You have your own dreams, desires, and wishes.
The most powerful part of your dreams and wishes is to state clearly what you do want. Not ‘what do you think you can have’ or even ‘what makes sense’, or ‘what does everyone else think is possible’. If you get caught up in allowing others to decide whether your wishes are valid, you’ll be stuck.
When you can see yourself having this thing you want, you have more power to create it. Your inherent clairvoyant ability makes it possible for you to imagine, to create pictures for your life. The most important part of doing this is always visualizing, imagining that you can have this thing, and then deciding you can.
You have the power to create, and it comes from within you.
Spirit is powerful.
If you give up your spirit’s ability to dream, if you listen to pessimistic people, the ones who refer to themselves as ’realists’, and allow them to squash your deepest dream, wish, desire, you are also allowing them to predict your future for you.
You are allowing others to tell you what’s possible.
As I write this, everyone on this earth has come through three years of a pandemic that rocked us to our core. The USA has seen several nail biting years in which we weren’t sure we’d still have a democracy once the smoke cleared.
All the predictions, the fears that were lit up along the way - ‘what if??’, got in the way of a powerful and very simple truth. When we dream big, and act on those dreams, show up, trust, believe, we can create a new future together. There are some who would like for all of us to go to sleep and let them decide.
But that’s not what’s happening now. Wake up time is here, as in, it’s time to wake up and embrace your power to create. This is not an intellectual exercise - it begins in spirit. We must imagine ourselves into a new way of being here on earth together.
Aren’t psychics supposed to predict the future?
Years ago, I saw a TV comedy sketch about 9/11. The characters included a (now deceased) psychic who was very famous at the time, and a news reporter. In the sketch, the reporter is interviewing the psychic about 9/11, and ends up screaming at her, “didn’t you think that was important to tell us? To predict 9/11!”. She’s punishing the psychic for not making this prediction. It wasn’t funny, and actually very painful.
The rage coming from the reporter at the psychic is intense, and is saying two things here:
- being psychic is all about predicting the future (that particular psychic was famous for making predictions, granted, but she also said hello to spirit)
- because she didn’t warn the world about this event, she was a fraud.
It was a pretty uncomfortable sketch, and totally missed the point of what being psychic is all about. One thing I do know after 20 years of working this way is that being psychic is not about controlling the future, or even the present, not to mention the past.
Being psychic is about saying hello to spirit, to energy. A conscious skillful psychic can see energy clearly, and work with / move energy. They cannot control the future, yours or anyone else’s.
On the other hand, when a psychic/medium sets themselves up by making claims of their accurate predictions, they are falling into this trap. If you are a psychic working in the world and do this, you’ll attract people who want someone, anyone, to be responsible for them.
You can create situations in which people become dependent on you. If this isn’t your goal, rethink how you offer your services. Otherwise you’ll attract people who want you to become responsible for all of the things they don’t know how to heal for themselves.
I am not a vending machine, and you don’t have to be either.
Over the years, I’ve noticed that some folks want a psychic reader to tell them what they should do. I have always had a hard time understanding this energy, because in my life, whenever someone would tell me what I should do, I’d immediately get suspicious, and want to do something else.
When I became a professional reader and started attracting clients of my own, I’d tell them “I don’t give advice, and I don’t predict the future”. Some people would say “good”, and schedule a session. Others would ask, “well, then what do you do?”, in a kind of disparaging voice, because of course psychics are for advice and predictions, right?
Except this misses the entire point of having a reading. If you finished a clairvoyant training, you already get this. A clean training is teaching you how to see energy, and say hello to spirit, not hand out advice like lemon drops, or make predictions about some far off future that isn’t written in stone.
Everything can change, and many things will change once consciousness enters the room.
You change the future every time you make a choice.
When you make a conscious choice, rather than an unconscious one, you change your future into something that looks more like you. You are always choosing, consciously or not. Listen to yourself the next time you say ‘I had no choice’ - did you really not have a choice? Or what were your choices?
Clairvoyance is an art form, a creative act. Predicting the future is basically uncreative. You are already a master at creating your future. No, you don’t have control over everything, but you can master control over yourself, which in and of itself is a neat trick.
