What are peoples opinions on people that claim they can talk to the dead or heal people using their powers.

Personally I think its utter bullshit.

I believe in the healing. Hypnosis is fairly powerful and can work.

Not sure about talking to the dead. I think that probably isn't true because i do think once your body stops functioning it also ceases to do anything, and this includes communicating.

They are not alone in taking money for talking shite... Bottom line is only those that want to believe pay for the service, but we have to pay our Mayor to make our roads slower and to park outside our homes even when we don't believe the shit he talks ;-(

You can't talk to the dead..because they are dead.It's the spirits they claim to communicate with.

No one has psychic powers. No one.

Mediums cannot communicate with the dead.

Healing is a slightly different concept. If your mum cuddled you , kissed your wounds and told you all will be okay - your mind settles, you trust her, you calm , you feel better. In effect she aided your healing with her humanity and caring.

If your mum looks at your wounds and says HEAL or Blood Stop Flowing..... she's not going to have much luck.

Healers = experienced doctors , nurses, councillors , family, partners etc ...... yes they can comfort you and contribute to your well being.

Healers that try to lay hands on your cancer and cause it to die. No chance.

Anyone paying them should be locked up.

I'd need scientifically valid evidence to modify my opinion on it.

Someone mentioned hypnosis, which is a valid, real world experience. The rest may be real but I assume it probably isn't.

If when we die then we cease to exist, it's probably not going to be possible for psychic sially etc to speak to us afterwards. As mediums like the infamous ones can make $millions, you can bet that the field is full of charlatans. sure, some well meaning, possibly slightly mistuned people may perceive messages from another dimension but I think tons are as unscrupulous as they come.

you can practice your faith without being charged for it...there is a digusting trade in preying on the ill for financial gain...i saw a friend who died of cancer being harrassed by the most aggressive marketing from complete charlatans...she was christian and her church and their comunity supported her fantasticaly right through to her death and managed not to screw money out of her!

exploitation is wrong but your also talking generically about the main religions who do very well out of people wanting to contribute financially..

not judging anyone who has a belief system that they feel gives them succour, support etc and not a dig at the majority within the main religions who do good..

shaking the collection bag is not that dissimilar to charging an entrance fee..

I believe in hypnosis because of 'the placebo effect'* and i do know that stress can make you more ill and your body function less efficiently. If someone regularly got your body working differently and more efficiently then i don't see any reason why you couldn't cure yourself of many illnesses and conditions that exist. I have read a lot of research on the body btw, i could offer more info if questioned.

*Legit term you can google and read about.

i think a couple of quid in a collection plate is a very different matter to what can end up being hundreds of pounds for spurious 'treatments'..if you google anything to do with cancer,for example, you will start getting bombarded by all manner of poisonous con artists deliberately targeting people who are sometimes prepared to try anything out fo desperation...i really cant understand why it can still be legal.

Glastonbury

I live in Glastonbury - just walk up the high street and see 57 varieties of BS. Most of it's harmless, a lot of it is expensive.

My favourites are the ones who sit in the old bank, half way up the high st. on the left. They wear long robes and sit around with copper pyramids on their heads promoting, I dunno, long life, happiness and sharp razors...

Forget what they're called but on their website all the prices are in $ and run into the 1,000s.

Someone's making money out of the gullible.

T'was ever thus.

for some who can least afford it the amount albeit only a couple of quid will matter..

on the legality then thats a wider issue and more about scamming which is across many sectors, again its wrong and needs addressing

I couldn't agree more!

What worse is that people pay to speak to their deceased loved ones and the "psychic" goes along with it for money! No problems!

Psychics are no more deceptive and insidious than advertisers.

They all prey on our insecurities, fragility or weakness to essentially sell us something we don't need.

I'm not say what they do is right but it's not like they are the only group of people doing it.

How so? Advertisers sell you a physical product? Do they say "buy this any your dead loved ones will speak to you" do they fuck

Psychics prey on the weak minded, the vulnerable who would do anything to know that their deceased are in a better place.

I can see this going all religiously but why the fuck would a omnipotent diety go, hmm all these african babies can die yet i'll let this one weirdo- (all psychics are weirdos in their own way) - have the gift to speak to the dead.

Sorry everyone but this is a tad frustrating!

In regards to reiki/yoga/even hymns, i do believe they can have a well being on people, as it all links to your frame of mind.

Just think if you went to a church while depressed and heard hynns, they could possible bring a sense of futility while another person who has a postive relationship to hymns (church with grandma) could find that as a support.

Okay i got a little off track lmao

I get what you mean with the happy people but everyone knows the reality.

It's not like white lightning ciders going to put a advert out showing the homeless buying their piss cheap ale...

What we can both agree onis that fickle minded people get preyed upon..

and all psychics are those predators

I actually really have never seen it.

That's because White Lightning knows it's audience. Homeless folk and teenagers.

Fickle minded do get preyed upon, my point was more that, there are predators everywhere ready to take your money off you."

you need to watch it, and see how te tobacco industry has survived since the 30s.

When we were teenagers we just got a crate, then again white lightning, frosty jacks etc was known as a homeless persons brew of choice...

Always will be those people, hell i'd probably be one if i knew enough suckers to fall for it! Beats the living wage

"Psychics are no more deceptive and insidious than advertisers.

They all prey on our insecurities, fragility or weakness to essentially sell us something we don't need.

I'm not say what they do is right but it's not like they are the only group of people doing it.

How so? Advertisers sell you a physical product? Do they say "buy this any your dead loved ones will speak to you" do they fuck

Psychics prey on the weak minded, the vulnerable who would do anything to know that their deceased are in a better place.

I can see this going all religiously but why the fuck would a omnipotent diety go, hmm all these african babies can die yet i'll let this one weirdo- (all psychics are weirdos in their own way) - have the gift to speak to the dead.

Sorry everyone but this is a tad frustrating!

In regards to reiki/yoga/even hymns, i do believe they can have a well being on people, as it all links to your frame of mind.

Just think if you went to a church while depressed and heard hynns, they could possible bring a sense of futility while another person who has a postive relationship to hymns (church with grandma) could find that as a support.

Okay i got a little off track lmao

I won't go down the religious route.

But advertisers don't just sell us a physical product, they sell an ideal, or a lifestyle. They say, if you buy our products or services you can be a certain way. It's not about the product, it's the ideas that come along with it. It's why Apple make so much, because you are part of the cool crowd with their products.

No...they sell a product, do you go to tesco and think wow what a amazing lifestyle for shopping here....

you need to stop watching mad men

I've never seen mad men.

No, of course I don't think that but look at any advert, they make it seem as if when you buy a product there are certain benefits.

Look at any alcohol advert, where people are good looking, well dressed and all smiling, usually with a 'enjoy with friends' type tag line. Yes they are trying to sell you the product, but they sell sell a set of emotions or feelings that you can achieve by having their product.

Funnily enough, a lot of my friends tell me I need to watch it, they say it's very me.

I might give it a go, if I can't trust random internet strangers who can I trust?

Yeah, but everyone else seems to have lost interest in the thread so it's fine
