I observed a pretty dynamic shift since I started doing this work professionally back in 2018. A shift that has an undertone of a gigantic leap backward with a presentation that is shallowly constructed on to-good-to-be-true falsities, disastrously fantastical ideologies, and a coat to paint spirituality as a magic pill life saver.
I can go on and on about my distaste for what the Sacred Intuitive Arts has become within the past 6 years. Just because there are millions of social media accounts, countless number of New Age Stores, and click-bait catch phrases that are popularized does not mean that there is any meaningful advancement in the Intuitive Instrument/Psychism acknowledgement and understanding within the Collective.
I do this work and I am completely turned off by the numerous decrees published by "Psychics" that are coasting on the Ignorance of Psychic and Mediumistic Mechanics/Arts by the general population.
It is so unfortunate to see this "industry" move in this direction and it is incredibly easy to hoodwink anyone who is not aware of the actual Psychic Arts.
There is a lack of grounded presentations of Psychism throughout the pick-a-card lunacy or just "mediumship" that is lazy and/or blatantly foolish.
This is why I try to inform my clients so much about The Experience of a reading, how to harmonize their expectations/perceptions to align with the reality of what I can do to help them, as well as to not over-inflate nor deflate my psychic and mediumistic skills.
Everything is Marketing and really about hooking into those unhealed wounds to sell sell sell sell sell.
A serious practitioner of the Sacred Intuitive Arts has a Practice and Services. There's nothing wrong with selling anything, but you really have to hold onto your projections so you don't overlay your goodness on others in this or any other industry.
The Aesthetics. The Parroting of what is popular to say. The lack of Evidential Information. The lack of Teaching through demonstrating and reading.
I quickly learned that I have two jobs within this work. To Read and to Teach. I fought it very long and hard, but it is what it is. I had no idea what a reading was nor how psychic and mediumistic information function within the Intuitive Instrument until I began reading people. To then have to pierce through the conditioning and the New Age Love & Light Spell and the Religious Programming and the Scientific Materialism plague, and the many other forces desiring to block humans from recognizing and using their Intuitive Instrument.
You cannot get a reading without understanding how to value the reading, what a reading is, and how the reader is a Radio and Mirror for you.
There is Spirit Math and Psychic Artistry. Obviously there will be some general information, but specifics will be woven in throughout a reading. The Information moves through like a beautiful piece of classical music.
Its just...everything about the Practice of the Psychic and Mediumistic Arts has become reduced to a social media influencer-wannabe, lack of skills and knowledge presented through demonstrations, and a smoke and mirror to fool people further into not taking this work seriously.
I continue to write about this because I care so much about my work and I know how much this actual work can benefit people.
There's also the cultish aspect. The authoritarian voice dictating the only answers to every problem. The unhealed wounds gravitating toward building an audience to validate one's specialness.
Let me tell you, I'm not special. No psychic/medium is special. It is just a Skill and very normal to humans without sensationalizing it.
I won't be 100% accurate, but I strive to be. I understand what my skills actually are and I do not do this work for ego. It is a calling that I tried to get out of so many times.
Honestly, if you are aligned with integrity, you care about this work, and you are really called to do it...then you are going to be prepared to battle all of the bullshit. It was better 20 years+ ago when it was just the Cynics attacking you and the work. Now it is the Cynics plus the Delusion and Fantasy Role Playing.
But...I keep doing this all because I have witnessed this work help people and 1 + 1 = 2.
I highly recommend you do not start a Psychism Practice unless you have absolutely no choice because Higher Mind and the God Force keeps bringing you to experiences in which you must share your genuine skills. It isn't something you just get into - you are Called.
