To The Angel of the Church in Pergamum Where Healers Abounded

Balak, King of Moab, tried without success to convince Balaam to curse Israel. Later, Balaam advised the Moabites to entrap the Israelites in idolatry and immorality. (Num 25:1)

People from all over the Roman empire used to go to Pergamum to seek healing. When Balak decided to offer the land to the Romans, the later did not hesitate to take it. They needed a foothold in Asia Minor. Sacrifices were offered at the highest peak of Pergamum. The sick came for healing. They believed that snakes could heal them. So the officials would release non-venomous snakes at night amidst the crowds.

That may be why we have the snake symbol for medicine or healing in our modern hospitals and health centers.

What Do Psychics Really Do For Their Money

What is a Psychic?

A psychic is an ordinary person you could pass by on the street and never even notice. A psychic can be a man or a woman, a young adult, middle-aged or elderly, or of any linguistic or religious background. Psychics can drive a car, raise children, walk their dogs, or work full-time. They can wear jeans, running shoes, ride a bicycle, or go rollerblading.

People have the tendency to assume that psychics do not fit in normal society. Psychics have the undeserved reputation of being bizarre, eccentric and obscure. For a long time, they were portrayed as being mere fortune tellers, wearing colorful turbans and gazing at a crystal ball. Even though the gypsies are great psychics and follow a long tradition, this image offers a limited view of what a psychic today really is.

What a Psychic really is

First of all, the term fortune teller is inadequate to realistically describe a psychic. There is so much more to a psychic’s work than just impressing people with accurate readings about their future, love relationships or money. Foretelling the future is just a small aspect of the true meaning of being psychic, like the single facet of a diamond. The true nature of psychics has been hidden by a cloud of mystery and misunderstanding that has generated myths and fears into people’s imagination. The fear and confusion about psychics is directly related to the fear of the unknown...

Through meditation and prayer, your Sixth Sense will develop and your psychic awareness will increase. You may notice that while you meditate, your mind is more able to settle in a state of calm and alertness. When your mind sits still and quiets down, you can be receptive to the higher spiritual frequencies that surround you. As you cut out interference from your mind, your soul and your Spirit are free to come to the surface and express themselves. That is when the journey of self-discovery truly begins because you become in touch with your own soul, which is yourself. Becoming in touch with your soul, your true spiritual Self, brings you closer to your Spirit origins, and to your Spirit guides. When you reach this state of calmness and spiritual elevation, the gap between this material world and the realm of God and Spirit diminishes, and the Spirit World comes closer to your reach. Let the sensitivity of your Sixth Sense and of your awareness catch this Spiritual presence in your life and you will notice how quickly you make it a part of your everyday routine. It is now time to introduce the subtle, yet important distinction between a soul and a Spirit, and their relation to ourselves as human beings. Understanding the nature of your own soul will allow for a better understanding of what and how Spirits truly are, and the extent of their remarkable capacities.

Psychics' Office Door Wide Open: Business Is Robust

The New York Times Reports:......

"Since September, when the Dow collapsed, Mr. Taccetta, who trades for his own portfolio in Boca Raton, Fla., has talked with his psychic about once a month, roughly twice as often as a year ago. “There is no rhyme or reason to the way the market is trading,” he said. “When conditions are this volatile, consulting a psychic can be as good a strategy as any other.”

In an era when even Henry M. Paulson Jr., the Treasury secretary, changes his mind weekly about how to rescue the United States economy, Mr. Taccetta’s decision to seek the advice of a psychic may not seem all that irrational. With Washington flinging pieces of the $700 billion bailout package around, dithering about whom to rescue — homeowners? automakers? cousin Fred? — a good set of tarot cards might come in handy.

“Your mortgage agents, your realtors, your bankers, you can’t go to these people anymore,” said Tori Hartman, a psychic in Los Angeles. “They’re just reading a script — at least that’s how my clients feel. People are sensing that the traditional avenues have not worked, that all of a sudden this so-called security that they’ve built up isn’t there anymore. They come to a psychic for a different perspective.”

Psychics say their business is robust, as do astrologers and people who channel spirits, read palms and otherwise predict the future (albeit not the winning lottery numbers). Their clients, who include a growing number of men, are often professional advice-givers themselves, in fields like real estate and investments, and they typically hand over anywhere from $75 to $1,000 an hour for this form of insight.

“My Web traffic is up and up and up,” said Aurora Tower, a New Yorker who constructs spidery star charts for her growing clientele. “People will entertain the irrational when what they consider rational collapses.”

Quackery? Whatever. But after all, the nation’s supposed experts on the economy, from pundits on the networks to billionaire investment bankers, have not been exactly reliable. And spiritual readings, as they are known, appear to be one of the few growth sectors in a contracting economy.

“My phone is ringing off the hook,” said Roxanne Usleman, a psychic in Manhattan.

Ms. Usleman, who says she channels angels to advise her clients on interpersonal and financial matters, reported both a spike in traffic on her Web site and a significant surge in private consultations. She used to see comfortably 15 to 20 clients a week, she said. Now she meets with more than twice that number. “I’m having trouble squeezing in appointments,” she said.

Hard Economic Times Keep Psychics Busy with Readings and Consultations

 Katrina Spears, a self-described internet medium, was running errands Sept. 30, the day the Dow plummeted 770 points.

"When I got home that day, I had messages from 30 clients," Spears says.

While it doesn't take a psychic to see that tough times lay ahead for the economy, online practitioners of the divination arts say they're seeing a marked sift in the questions posed by their clientele, with anxious consumers increasingly asking what's in store for them financially in the months ahead. Believers who normally seek psychics for advice on a cheating spouse are now asking whether a pink slip is in their future, and internet psychics across the board saw a spike in traffic in the days following the initial market crash.

The boom in superstition is a predicable response to troubling times, says Columbia Business School professor Gita Johar, who's studied the phenomenon. "If the future is uncertain, people turn to psychics," Johar says. Consumers tend to embrace the supernatural when confronted by stress, combined with uncertainty. "You have an illusion then that you can then control the outcome. People want the illusion of control."

Spears is one of many self-described psychics, empaths and mediums who make a living giving online readings by instant message or phone on sites such as LivePerson.com and AT&T's Keen.com. Spears performs readings by online chat for $2 to $3 a minute, and says that since September she's been talking almost exclusively with Americans who are concerned about their economic futures.

"People ask if they are going to lose their house or if they are going to find a job soon, or am I going to be laid off," says Spears,

"Usually I can give some time frames, and for some people, it is clearly 'yes,'" Spears says. "I can tell them if another job is coming and a time frame for when they will get another job."

Hourly rates for online psychics typically range from $100 to $1,000 per hour, but those steep rates haven't seemed to deter the monetarily anxious from reaching out.

Another IM reader, Pure Empathy, says his business has soared since the economic downturn. He charges $2 a minute and says he gives away lots of free time.

"It's really starting to pick up," he says. "People are more depressed, and I can easily make $150 to $200 a day."

"Finances are coming up a lot more lately," he adds. "People want to know when their finances are going to get better. I tell them I don't see it happening until middle of next year — we are going to have a long down period."

But not all psychics are having bullish times in a bear market.

Amaya Elliot, an intuitive and spiritual consultant who also does IM readings via Live Person, says her business has already entered its own recession: It's off 50 percent from months ago.

This time last year Elliot — also known as Autumn Dancing Heart — charged a higher rate and made a "fairly nice living" off four to eight sessions a day.

The drop-off is a bit unusual, though, according to Elliot who has been reading professionally since 1999. "Usually in times of crisis — war and usually in economic crisis — business picks up," Elliot says. "Not this time."

Elliot might take some solace in Spears' reading of the U.S. economy.

"Things will improve in March, April and May and start progressing from there," Spears says. "We are not about to go into a holy war that means everyone will have to eat rice and beans for the rest of our lives. But it is back to basics, and people won't shop as much."

Spears also says that her initial spike of new business has declined, but that her American clients remain economically worried.

"Things are back to normal," Spears says. "I have several clients in Australia and for them every day is the same as usual, but people in the U.S. are stressed about jobs and the economy."

All three say their job isn't just about making future predictions, it's also about giving good advice and listening to people's concerns.

"I answer all of my questions using my cards or gifts, but I make sure to tell them to use common sense in spending, to not quit a job that is a sure pay until another job is secured, and to make sure to use a budget and stick to it as best they can," Elliot says. "I also remind them that readings are entertainment and not a necessity, to keep in mind the things that are wants and the things that are needs."

Sometimes people ask the obvious, according to Spears.

"Sometimes a person asks what does that person feel about me," Spears says. "If he doesn't call you in four weeks, that tells you other things are on his mind, and you are not it."
