I define rational thinking as drawing logical conclusions based on apparent evidence.

However, evidence is always subjective.  We tend to see what we want or are ready to see, rather than what is.  For example, most people do not associate belief in angels, astrology, Tarot, oracle cards, etc. as “rational”.  I do.

This is because I experience in tangible ways the reality of these things.  They are part of my subjective experience, and therefore “real”.  As far as I know.  I’m fully open to discovering I’m wrong (I wouldn’t enjoy it, but a small sacrifice for the truth).

There is a website offering one million dollars to anyone who can conclusively prove paranormal activity.  It started a few years ago and so far none of the thousands of challengers have been able to do it.  It gained publicity for “debunking” famous psychics such as John Edward and Sylvia Browne because they couldn’t pass their preliminary tests.

I desperately wanted to take on their challenge.  Not for the money (though that would be nice), but because I viscerally experience “paranormal” activity every day.  I channel voices from other dimensions, clearly read energy fields, pick up on or “hear” other people’s thoughts, and feel in my body what is going on in others.

Or, this is the conclusion I’ve drawn from the apparent evidence.  I base this on dramatic physical changes in my body, other people’s feed-back, and my own daily sensory experience.

When I found out about this website, I eagerly looked it up.  I imagined what it would be like to take on the “rational” community with my truth.  Passing their test would not only offer money, but also personal fame and wider acceptance for psychic phenomena as a whole.

Then I looked over their application process and their website.  I realized it was a set up for humiliation.  They require people applying to have a media presence and be able to prove their abilities under scientifically accepted conditions.  Even if I went up to these people and told them details of their childhood (which is not the kind of information I tend to get), it wouldn’t be good enough for their criteria.  I realized taking on the skeptical community on their terms would be a sacrifice in personal dignity.

However.

I am still taking them on.  Not as a fight, but as a game.  You see, I get it.  I’m rational too.  I believe it when I see it.  I’m just open to seeing things they aren’t.  And they no doubt see a lot of things I miss because I’m so prone to believing in invisible guides, etc.  I view the skeptical/atheist community as my competitive friend.  They keep me checking in with myself.  Is this real?  Does it serve?

Which is why I have this blog.  I want to share my experiential reality.  Posts will be devoted to the subjective, every day experience of being psychic, something which I believe is lacking in much of the publicity around it.

I’ll post as best I can what it’s like to channel, specific experiences, anything “paranormal” which feels worth sharing.  I’ll especially emphasize the physical experiences of it because that’s the most tangible evidence available for it being “real”.

I am not targeting and do not expect skeptics to read this blog.  I do however imagine most of us know a few of them, and I’m happy to provide fodder for debates around the legitimacy of psychic work.

Much more than that, I am writing this so that people who pay me for readings who are not psychic themselves can have a better understanding of what they are paying for.

So, all for fun.  I’m eager to share, and happy to have you join me.
