I'd just like to discourage you from alienating "losers". I understand their disposition causes them to abuse you, but I just found the label offensive. No one's an antagonist.IP: Logged |

It sure did take me a long time to get that way with wanting to please everyone and afraid of people not liking me, now I don't care Point being, the more true you are to YOU the more sense of self you get. In bullsh*tting others you essentially bullsh*t yourself, if that makes any sense, it's a bit 420 here 
"It is better to be hated for what you are than for what you are not" Well, I have long lost count of the free readings using various methods, that I given to date. I read as I find the time, for free and shall continue to do so. I mainly try to stick to more serious things folks want readings for, not the petty things. I cannot keep up with all the requests and charging would not make me be able to do more anyhow. I mean really, how can charging buy one more time to do readings?  You either have or find the time or not. More often than not it is folks who cannot pay that I read for.  There are many more of them than rich folks out there.  I do my best to ascertain if there is a true need and not simply for idle curiosity and or worse; entertainment. Also if by chance I get nothing, or it feels like the wrong time to reveal, well, I tell them so, unlike most readers who make up stuff or tell the person(s) what they think they want to hear and do not actually do a psychic reading. Also many readings are just common sense advice and not psychic in the least. In that case I tell them that too.

You just found my response, huh?  Yes, alot of it IS common sense advice, I agree. In you helping so many people (including myself) with your spiritual input you will be blessed, definitely and indefinitely Hope you are warm, buttercup  IP: Logged |

Ami, just curious: how do you know the virus was sent to your computer knowingly and maliciously?I have gotten viruses from friend's Outlook Express that have been sent automatically; once they're infected, everyone on their email list is infected. IP: Logged |

Well, here is what happened.I do not know ,for sure,because I am not that computer literate. One person kept asking me for readings.I did them each time. Then,they sent me one which was like a demand in a nasty tone. I said,'What do you think I am, a gum ball machine?" Then,I got the virus. ------------------ Jesus never put his trust in man cuz he knew what was in man. He who controls his Spirit is greater than he who controls a city Proverbs IP: Logged |

I do offer help in the first reading but the longer I know them,the better able I am to tune in to them. So, the first reading would either be their only one or the beginning of a relationship with me. This would be good.
Maybe you want to try "trial or first reading FREE. following readings XXXX" that would state up front that there is a fee for reading, but you just want them to feel comfortable with you and see if they really want to get a more through reading. in my opinion you SHOULD charge, even if a minimun ammount.

What nordicsoul said sounds fair.------------------ "All deaths are suicides, do you realize that? Every single one. The only distinction is that, with some people, suicide is a subconscious choice, and with others it's a conscious choice. Otherwise, those who commit suicide and those who succumb to accident, illness or "old age," die for exactly the same reason: belief in the inevitability of death." Linda Goodman IP: Logged |

I meet with the web designer next week. He asked me to write about myself. I will share it ,here. Please, keep your ideas coming particularly about specifics. The more ideas I get before my meeting, the better able I will be to tell him what feels good to me. ------------------ Jesus never put his trust in man cuz he knew what was in man.

I like the idea of the first reading being introductory because I want to be able to screen people as well as have people screen me. That will give me peace of mind because I should be able to know if someone is a person I want to allow in to my sphere.My two mistakes I KNEW I should not have allowed in. You get close to people when you do readings.People's best and worst qualities come out. You need wisdom.

I will say one quick thing: I am not really comfortable with the idea of you writing about yourself here in the context of what will be included on your site... because you're leaving a trail which anybody could later look up when they are researching you, after reading your web site. I have personally seen how things I have posted on some random web site have come up on Google searches years later. Just my two cents. MOre later.IP: Logged |

This last incident has been a wonderful learning experience but horrible,as you can imagine. It came at the right time. I am going to the web designer ,next week. *I* am gonna screen all people in the first free reading. *I* am going to reject anyone who feels bad,in any way. I will ,simply, say it is not a fit,for me. I learned other things which I needed to know before I took a step like a website. I did not have enough wisdom to embark on something like this.

The web designer told me that I am gonna run in to people who will try to scam me etc. It is part of it. I was hesitating to go forward cuz of fear. The screening should help me avoid most problems of this nature. ------------------ Jesus never put his trust in man cuz he knew what was in man.

John Baines [Dario Salas], one of the greatest Hermeticists of the 20th Century clearly advised that it is an Occult Law to charge for Spiritual Counseling. Otherwise, the student or client is NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE THE GUIDANCE FULLY. And the charge is not for knowledge but for the time spent. Universal Knowledge is not our "Intellectual Property".Those who give free service are creating a karmic burden on the recipients especially when there is sacrifice of time which could have been used to earn by the Counsellor, compensation is required. Hobbyists do not create this burden though. What should be charged? An amount that could have been earned in that time when doing other skilled work which the Counsellor does. I cannot regularly earn more than $50.00 per hour in any of my special skills: Computers, Training, Management Consulting. So I keep my Astrology prices always below 50 dollars an hour. Mostly it becomes 15-20 dollars an hour because I love finding out more info in charts, but this will never be a burden to the clients as it is purely my own choice. Warren Buffet has every right to charge one million dollars a day if he were giving personal consultations on getting rich. I love giving free readings, have cracked the 1000 free readings/doubts barrier, and this is totally from leisure time. Again, no karmic burdens. What about those who receive and do not pay? My advice is to forgive them. Only then they can apply the knowledge. I have almost 800 dollars in unpaid bills from Astrological Services, I never ask the clients to pay. We must trust that if someone asks for an astrological reading, he or she will not pay only for a genuine reason. Somehow, that money will come from another source the moment any resentment from not receiving is released. And the all important Rule: 10% Minimum of whatever is received has to be given to charity. Giving more than 10% always comes back multiplied from other sources. Lexx: ===== You are building a vault of riches for the next Lifeline with so many free readings, it is mind-boggling. I have finally figured out why prosperity has been elusive for you in this lifeline though. It was thanks to another lady born in 1954 that I could crack the puzzle. 101% it is not your fault. Knowing this will not help, but the situation can be turned around with exact algorithms. When you are ready to follow the algorithms exactly as I say with 100% Positive Attitude, do let me know.

and the buddha said, if something doesn't ring true for you, then you shouldn't listen to it. who's john baines, oh yes! quote: Otherwise, the student or client is NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE THE GUIDANCE FULLY. And the charge is not for knowledge but for the time spent.
why is someone not able to utilize freely something that was given freely? but the first question should be "was it given freely at all"?
quote: Universal Knowledge is not our "Intellectual Property".
so following this logic, we shoudl'nt be allowed to take advantage of universal knowledge, and should not charge. quote: Those who give free service are creating a karmic burden on the recipients
I would rather say, those who give service, free or not, are ultimately creating a burden... to themselves, thrrough the changes they have created in others. quote: especially when there is sacrifice of time which could have been used to earn by the Counsellor, compensation is required.
if you are functioning in the frame of mind that everything given should be given back, then yes, someone who gives his time can expect to be dully reimbursed. but someone who doesn't believe this way, and wants to rejoice in the beauty to think that his act are love and won't contribute in anyways to enrich him, he's already been paid much more. quote: Hobbyists do not create this burden though.
I believe ANYONE interfering in someone else's free will is inevitably creating changes for HIMSELF, hobbyist and professionals alike. professional's responsability will only be greater because they get something for themselves out of the bargain. quote: What should be charged? An amount that could have been earned in that time when doing other skilled work which the Counsellor does.
that sounds fair indeed for someone who's ethical though still in the frame of mind of getting back what is giving out. but for those who consider that giving is already being paid, then I suppose they would expect to see any price that 2 persons agreed. quote: I love giving free readings, have cracked the 1000 free readings/doubts barrier, and this is totally from leisure time. Again, no karmic burdens.
good for you (if it makes you happy- it would makes me happy. that is what I am talking about by the idea of being paid already) quote: What about those who receive and do not pay?My advice is to forgive them.
do not pay WHO ??? forgive WHO ??? this approach is what really makes us different. I could not find what bothered me in your approach. but you've said several times to me that I was behaving badly to you you once called me an unaquarian aquarian. then I should properly apologize. I didn't understand what exactly was irritating me in your comments. now I know exactly what it is. we disagree, not on the essential, but on the form. I am glad to have understood that.

What kind of readings do you do Ami - phone, or in person? How are they conducted and how long do they last? There plenty of people who charge for this service. I am from the G.B but i know a lady in America who charges $125 an hour. My answer to you would be to practise for free, and when you're 100% sure you're the real deal AND have reliable testimonies from people - i would decide on a fixed amount, advertise that amount as such, and go from there. All this some are free, some are not, depends how rich you are, or whether i feel sorry for you won't work and will just turn into a farce. There is nothing stopping you giving unofficially free readings to people you choose, but you can not advertise vaguely. It will lead to resentment and arguments and it will make you look like someone who isn't sure what they're doing.IP: Logged |

Dear RIAFC To answer your question and please respond with your opinion,if you could. I gave 100 free readings by email and text and some phone to determine if I had a gift. I was gonna keep doing them free but I ran in to the type of problem you witnessed.The root of that problem was free readings. I only had two such incidents out of 100.The other was a computer virus. I have been about 95% correct in my feelings. In about 5% of the cases,I cannot feel at all and I tell them. ------------------ Jesus never put his trust in man cuz he knew what was in man.
