I feel that something needs to be said as far as the purpose of these readings and how to take them into our lives and use them in an effective manor!

the thing is, no reader, unless a God-realized master, is 100% accurate all the time. Even IF a God-realized master, they may not choose to "tell you" your fate and instead tell you what you need to hear to work through ego-based beliefs and desires.

I have been to some of the best and most statistically accurate (and expensive) readers in the US and some of them have been drastically wrong in some regards. When anyone is identified with their lower self/ego (Which we are all to some degree- otherwise we would not be in these bodies) there is always a chance for self-projection and error. Even those with very advanced and highly-developed spiritual gifts can misread a situation! Even if someone is a clear channel most of the time, unless they are in an ever-balanced state of inner calmness, achieved through DEEP, consistent meditation, their perspectives will too be altered by the waves of life.

So, when getting a reading, in my humble opinion, I believe there are a few things you can do to ensure you are getting the most out of it. First of all, do not undermine your knowing. Open your mind to the possibility of what is being said, but use your discrimination to analyze it. Do not come at it in fear and think "oh no have I been delusional?" even if told something "you don't want to hear" you really have no idea if it is right. If a reading arouses a negative feeling in you, use it as an opportunity to rid yourself of that feeling. Meditate on it, see what it has triggered, and allow it to heal. What you were told in the reading could very well have no truth to it (or only be true on a minisimal level) but could be incredibly important for you to hear as it stirs up deeply held feelings which can now be released!

It is also important to understand that energies can change. something that someone is picking up on at one time could be one fascet of a very complicate, multifaceted situation. It doesn't have to be the end-all-be-all. Energies ebb and flow. The energies presented could also be mirroring YOUR feelings on the situation or your fears/ worries/ beliefs.

If something from the reading DOES resonate with you, after careful discrimination, then take it to heart. Perhaps the whole purpose of the reading was to bring to surface a possibility that you had not yet examined so that you can either observe it and release it or observe it and take it to heart and expand your perception of the situation Perhaps the purpose was to expose a wounded part of your ego so that you could heal it. The purpose is certainly not ALWAYS to expose you to the 100% truth. You will only draw in what you yourself need at that time. Do you really think the universe is going to allow you to know all simply because you asked once in an online forum? You and I know that the truest answer lies within yourself! You are the only one who can access it through sheer determination, willpower, and continued effort!

I have had homeless people off the street walk up to me and tell me a truth greater than I have received from some very spiritually advanced people. The truth is, that you will only be presented with the "truth" that is NEEDED for you to hear at the time, the reason why you needed to hear that information, and whether or not it is true is entirely up to you to figure out. Just know that you are drawing in exactly what you need!

Anyways, I hope this helps someone! At the very least, I felt it needed to be said as an adjunct to the readings I give... I am a flawed human just like the rest of you! I pray that anything I say to anyone here is used only in their highest and best interest and if I am wrong, that they are able to take only what benefits them and serves their highest good!

I have come to rely on readings too much. Paid readings. And they are influencing me in a way that is unhealthy. I have to take back control and make my own decisions and the problem is who's to say who is right and who is wrong. I can't be afraid to live life because a reader told me not to do something or to do something. I'm just having a hard time in my relationship and trying to understand. I've been paying for readings in the hopes to gain perspective but I think all that comes through is my fears and not the actual truth of the situation. It's been a tough few days for me.

honey, I wholeheartedly understand where you are coming from. I have been where you are right now. I want to share this story with you as I think it could help. About a year ago I began getting readings from an incredible psychic out of Seattle. At first, I was utterly blown away. She knew little details such as my EXACT career path, she accurately interpreted the energies of my last relationship, and of myself and my daughter. After feeling such validation, I resigned my trust over to her 100%. She seemed SO accurate, such a clear channel! I began taking her word as if it was absolute truth, because I trusted her to that extent. Now, my ex-husband was arrested for a crime in which he had a fake gun. She told me the gun was actually real, which sparked a deep fear in me. One night, he called me cussing me out and because I felt he had a real gun, I thought my life may be in danger. I called the police on him. It turns out, there was actual PROOF, real evidence that the gun was not real and not even his and the case ended up being dropped. I felt HORRIBLY, I turned something that should have just been an argument and made it a legal matter....

She told me he was going to prison for 12 years, so I did things I wouldn't have done for my daughter's custody. I put SO much trust in her. Well, it turns out she was ENTIRELY wrong. It is my opinion that once we keep going back to the same person, our stories and perceptions end up penetrating their minds and clouding their perception on the matter. I think it is the universe/God's way of not having us rely entirely on others no matter how spiritually gifted they are. There is a great lesson here for you and it is TRUST YOURSELF. The clarity these psychics have is found within you, through meditation....You may even need to spend the first few meditations sorting through "brain garbage" aka perceptions and ideas that these psychics have told you.. YOU decide if they are true.


Lots of love to you

Yes, I agree. I also wanted to add that at the end of the day we are all creators and free will pay a big part in our lives. Cards are also reflecting on our vibration, so one day we may be this way but If we for example meditate we can raise our vibration and change curcumstances and vice versa. This is just my humble opinion and I don't mean this is a rule. 💖

yes 100%, this may infact be the number one thing here! We ARE creating our realities, our lives, even our struggles and our pains... whether we are conscious of it or not! It is through our thinking and beliefs that our lives manifest.

Wow! That's exactly what I've been going through. I mean, not the whole story like you had. But the point of a reader telling me what I should and shouldn't do and creating something in my mind for me to believe in that is quite negative. I've been so upset all day about my conversation with them that I am believing her. But I have to take back control and just live life and let the chips fall where they may. And it's true, when they start telling you things that only you know it's hard not to drink the kool-aid and believe it. You tend to believe everything they tell you.

honey, you have more control over your life and the outcome of it than you can even fathom! no one can tell you your end result. in fact, if someone tells you you can't do something- make a point to do it! You are a powerful creator of your life should you only realize your own capabilities!!!

Sorry to interupt but I also think we should always focus on the positive sides of situation. If someone says you something negative it is normal this is concernig you but with focusing on it you may attract it cause you are thinking (and living this unwanted situation trough feelings) and all your focus is there. My advice is to always try to focus on what you WANT rather than what you don't, it can do you no harm. And when I say focus I don't mean passionatelly and cant think of a word but like bond to it. want it but don't desperatly need it and in my experience it will always come to you when it's time. hope this can help someone 😊

You are right Leo. Instead of thinking of the negative think of the positive. I do believe we can attract the unwanted outcome by focusing on it and dwelling on it. If we can create positive situations we certainly can create negative situations.

Great post, and I just wanted to add - for me the purpose of readings is entertainment only.

I used to have too many paid and unpaid readings. And looking back instead of having readings, all I had to do was take action. Many of my questions were when will I get a new job and when will I meet someone.

I would get different dates for both (in two months, in 3 months) and I'd wait... and nothing would happen. And I'd ask again and be given another prediction for 2 months/3 months.

What I should have done was apply and go out more without worrying about specific timeline.

Now that I've cut back on readings I feel a lot better - the pressure of a specific outcome to happen is no longer there... it's actually feels a lot better... because I don't wait for something specific to happen.

Yes, to me this is a matter of our vibration, nobody wants to attract negative things into our life but sometimes this contrast is needed so we can expand even more. I always try to be thankfull for all experiences good and bad cause that is what made us a person who we are today. Readings are helpful sometimes, but always remember you are creating your own life, this is what I also try to remember myself everyday, it is a cinstant "work". 😊

And I agree with you Leonisces - I had some negative readings about a situation but I'm still going to go for it - because otherwise I'll regret not doing it...

Hope I'll be right...

I 100% agree. I have had MANY MANY readings in the past and its VERY rare that one of them come true the exact what predicted. I believe that readings are possibilities of what COULD happen. There are so many possibilities and I believe that readers intuitives and card readers pick up on the VIBRATION and energy of the current situation and what could happen.

I spent so much money on bitwine & if anything it just made things worst thats why I try my best to stay off readings. Knowing the future changes the future. So many readers would say so & so would come back, but in reality they never did.

Never underestimate your own power. You do have control of your life, don't think that you are a powerless being, thats a very dangerous way to live your life.

Great post, missblyss! So important to hold on to our critical faculties and not believe blindly for the simple reason that fates can change in an instance. And, as you said, no reader is infallible.

Hi missblyss,

I am so glad that you made a thread regarding this. It has gotten to the point that I too got caught up with asking question after question that it became an obsession. I admit it I feel it has to do with insecurity in your own judgement and not trusting your intuition. At least that is how it was for me.
Tarot and others forms of divination are only tools. Like others have said energies change constantly and YOU have the final say. You ALWAYS have a choice. Card readings will show the energy around a situation. Positive or negative. I feel you already know the answer to your question(s) intuitively. We just need to listen.
