Mystery Word of the day: Psychic...

After speaking with a few friends the other night, I wanted to touch on the word, "Psychic".. What is this word?

The word, Psychic as described in Websters Dictionary;

psy·chic   /ˈsaɪkɪk/
[sahy-kik]  –adjective Also, psy·chi·cal.


1. of or pertaining to the human soul or mind; mental ( opposed to physical).


2. Psychology . pertaining to or noting mental phenomena.


3. outside of natural or scientific knowledge; spiritual.


4. of or pertaining to some apparently nonphysical force or agency: psychic research; psychic phenomena.


5. sensitive to influences or forces of a nonphysical or supernatural nature.


–noun


6. a person who is allegedly sensitive to psychic influences or forces; medium.


Origin:


1855–60; < Gk psȳchikós of the soul.
 
There are so many thousands of misconceptions when one thinks of the word "psychic". Hollywood has unfortunatly put so much hype into this word that very many people who are related to it dont necessarily care for using the word itself.
 
So what the word psychic means is: "of or pertaining to the human soul or mind; mental" ... What it does not mean: It does not mean that one is under the influence of the devil or any devil related content. It does not mean, "Voodoo". It also does not mean to one who is related to the word.. That they do not believe in God, Jesus or that the Psychic person does not have any religious views. It also does not mean to one that one who is related to the word, Psychic, that they stay in a constant "tuned in" basis constantly. 
 
Hollywood tries to portray the Psychic as this mysterious, non origin person surrounded in unearthy shadowy enigma. When in fact, everyone has this ability to foresee the unexplained. Each and every person on this planet is able to tap, touch or tune into their 6th sense.
 
For many years before the modern age of telephones, computers and gadjets... Everyone had this so called "gift" developed. It wasnt until man became further advanced that this 6th sense more or less fell away. This 6th sense before the modern day was actually a "fight or flight" function. Early humans needed to know when to run, or when to move, they needed to know where food was, where the water was, and how to move away from danger.They needed to know in order to live, when to migrate from the flat lands to the high lands (so to speak).. They had no means of developed tools in this area, and humans possessed more of the animal instinct, that psychic-ness, than what they do today.
 
In todays world, people can and do tap into this very natural ability. Some people are born with it stronger than others however, and some are trained, or taught psychics. However, even to some psychics, this can be a very scary and misunderstood phenomena. Usually this most happens to young people, or children who are told at a very early age, that this is very un natural by their parents or the adults in their lives. Then there are others that have very supporting families, a very strong support system, who are told the exact opposite. They were never made to be afraid of their natural born ability. And those are the ones who most oftentimes become the most gifted.
 
There are others too at times, that might have something traumatic happen in their lives that brings about the ability as they grow older and are "woken up" to their gifts at an older age. This too can be frightening as well.
 
In any event, what Im saying is that there are all sorts of possible ways that one develops this ability.
 
I further want to explain also... That one with the ability of being psychic, is not constantly as a rule.... "Tuned or Tapped" in constantly.
 
I have had myself, people who are on edge around me thinking that if they let their thoughts flow as they normally do... That I'll pick up every tiny little thing that crosses their minds. We are not mind readers. And when a person "closes" themselves off to us, we can not as easily pick up on what is going on around them. When a person does not want to be read, chances are, that they can not be read.
 
Here is another very common question... Can the Psychic still see what is around a person when this happens? When the person is closed, or not wanting to be read??
 
The answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no. Yes, we can if we are in the "mode" (turned into) "feel" what is going on around a person. It depends on if the Psychic is already "tuned in". We can not read the minds of another, but we can or could see/feel the energy around that person. However, a good psychic should know if a person does not want the information that they are receiving. A good psychic should have morals and values around them. And a good psychic does not intrude where they are not wanted. And a good psychic knows also as well that not everyone wants the information that they are getting.
 
It is quite another thing if someone comes to the Psychic asking for information. Myself, I try to always explain to the person in front of me, that they have come to me... That though their consultation is just as private as say, going to see your doctor... That whatever information I may get, what ever energy comes, is what comes. Good or Bad.. And just as they have come to find out the information, that it is my responsibility to give to them, whatever may come.
 
As I also have tried to explain in the past.. There are times when the information just comes. There is no trying, no opening up... The energy just hits where it hits. Quite usually this happens when it is extremely important that the person receives the message. I have learned threw the years also, that if I do not give the message to the person and say I try to ignore it... The energy stays with me for a very long time until I can release it.
 
Those who know me, know that I say I am being "Nagged" if you will. The information simply stays with me until I can give it to the person that needs the information. If for some reason I can not give the information to the person, say the person is a stranger or not open to hearing the information, then I have to "close" the door to it.. This to me feels very unnatural though there has been times that I have to just let it go.
 
When I was young.. I did as young children do, and just blurted out what came to me... Again, threw the years Ive learned not to do that lol... This was a learning thing for me though.. It was not something that I knew in my very early childhood.
 
These are only but a few things that I wanted to jot down today but I do hope that this bit of information was at least some what helpful.
 
No, if you sit next to a Psychic, will they always be able to tap into you. Yes, they can if you want them to by asking them to... And even sometimes not. Let me also say, that once in awhile another phenomena happens and we receive nothing at all from your energy.
 
It quite normally means that we are just as human as the next person. We do not always connect to the energy, we do not always tap into. If there are things that are not meant to be known or known yet..  A psychic will not get the information... It simply just goes to show that yes, as I said.. We're human also. 
 
Also let me quickly explain before I leave for now... That just because a Psychic taps into the information they are getting at the time, does it always mean 100% that they are correct 100%. Just because they see what they see now, does not always mean that the items of events will happen. If you are the seeker looking for answers and say I "feel" that there is an accident on the next corner that you should avoid and I tell you about it... And say perhaps, that you then, do listen to my information and do not cross that corner and the event doesnt happen... It doesnt mean that the Psychic was wrong, it means that some where down the road of things, that the events that were foreseen or felt, were changed, or yet another road was taken.
