Summer 1999 - Case Study in Psychic Counseling

 

LESSONS TO BE LEARNED

Polly came to me as a metaphysical 'virgin.'  She had never had an experience with anything remotely connected with the psychic, astrology, or any other system.  She is one of a number of people who come for a reading somewhat on a lark, as something new and exciting to do that will provide some interesting cocktail chatter among her friends.  Ultimately she came for three readings, and by the last she was a believer in the psychic connection, although frustrated about not being able to stop or change events.

In her first reading, much of the time was spent on her career and possible changes coming up.  But near the end, the reading focused on an affair she was having with a married man.  When I watched in my mental 'workshop,' I suddenly had an image of his wife going into a rage, throwing objects around the room.  I smiled at first and mentioned to Polly rather matter of factly that obviously his wife was not thrilled at this affair!  She was surprised to hear this and said his wife knew nothing of it.  This was embarrassing to me because the image was so clear in my Workshop that I took it as truth.  I went back to the Workshop and watched the same scene of the wife throwing objects and screaming.  I described it again to Polly and then went back to the Workshop hoping to move on to other scenes.  The third time it came back identical to the other scenes and this gave me a chill.  Why would it be so insistent when the event was not true?

I finished the reading and Polly left, apparently satisfied with the information, even with the incorrect scenes about her affair.  The reading was done on a Thursday afternoon.  Friday afternoon Polly called to tell me the latest news.  As in a bad soap opera, it seems the man's wife found Polly's phone number in his pocket and confronted him with her suspicions.  When he admitted to having an affair, his wife became hysterical, ran from the house and went to her Catholic church where she proceeded to throw objects from the altar, railing against her God who had betrayed her.  She had to be subdued by priests and staff and taken away.

From this reading I learned an important lesson which has so far held true.  If I see an image or scene which will not go away after three attempts to clear my Workshop screen, then I know that the scene is about to happen.  In several other readings I have had the same experience coupled with a sense that the scene is very current, maybe even happening during the time of the reading.  In almost every case, the scene has worked itself into reality within days, never more than a week.

Polly came a few months later for a second reading, and again we dealt with information about her career and relationships.  This time she seemed to take the information more seriously!  Just before the end of the reading, she asked if there was any information to give about her children.  Instantly I had an image of her daughter in a red car.  The daughter's boyfriend was driving and they had an accident where another car hit their right front fender and then drove off.  While the accident itself was relatively minor, I felt the incident would have much more major consequence and suggested that Polly tell her daughter not to let her boyfriend drive the car.  As it turned out, Polly did tell her daughter what I had seen, but her daughter took it very casually as any teenager would, or as anyone would for that matter when told a psychic foresees you having a car accident!

About a week later Polly called to tell me that as predicted, they did have an accident where someone hit the right front fender while the boyfriend was driving.  And sure enough, it caused much trouble.  It seems the boyfriend had a suspended license from another accident and when the police reported this, the insurance company refused to pay for damages.  Not only that, the other car was long gone as a hit-and-run driver, so there was no recourse from them.  Within days I had a call from the daughter pressuring me to look into my Workshop and get a license number so they could find the other car!

I have always told clients that nothing in a reading is written in stone.  If I see a future image that they don't like, they will start making decisions from that point which will move them away from that event, in effect changing their future.  The disturbing thing about this reading was the sense I felt that it would all come true and there was no stopping it.  In watching similar cases evolve, the conclusion I've come to is that it is possible to change when the events are in the life of the person I'm reading, but when it goes beyond them to another person not directly involved in the reading, then there is little to do to control future events.  The other person may hear of the image, but not having been in the reading they perhaps don't feel the urgency or seriousness and therefore don't work to change.

Polly came for a third reading a few months later.  Again we talked of current events in her life, and then she asked about my feeling about her daughter's upcoming wedding.  With almost no thought, I said it wouldn't last a year.  I described her fiancé and the troubles I felt he had, some of which Polly knew.  But there were things no one realized about him and his relation with her daughter which would become insurmountable and the marriage would not be successful.  By now Polly was quite a believer in the readings and the workshop images and this frustrated her.  She believed me when I said the marriage wouldn't last, but what should she do about it?  Invitations were mailed and plans set.  How could she go to her daughter and tell her to stop her wedding because a psychic told her to?!  I agreed that there was nothing she could do and I would not want that kind of burden on me and she wouldn't want it on her.  Nothing was said to the daughter.

Many months later I had a call from Polly to say that my prediction had be wrong.  I predicted the marriage wouldn't last a year.  It actually hadn't lasted six months!  Another lesson learned from the readings.  Some events have to work themselves out.  Some information is too hard to take and no one would believe it, not even me.  There are lessons people need to learn on their own, not from listening to a psychic.
