There is no basement at the Alamo.
Have you ever visited a psychic?

I think this 'energy' has absolutely nothing to do with any gods; no need for gods; if 'supernatural' exists it's not 'super' anymore, just plain old 'natural.'
Wish I were still able to write and express myself better. I have so many personal notes on this subject matter but as I get older it becomes more difficult. Hope I'm not losing cognitive, oh yeah, I think I am!

Hell no, and don't ever want to.

I never did, but my ex did just before we were married. The psychic told her she saw her living in a house surrounded by green. My ex was a country girl from rural Maine, so that had already happened. Eventually, we built a house surrounded by green. I don't know if the psychic predicted that, or we made it happen because the psychic said it. Every house I eventually built was surrounded by green, and my current house is surrounded by even more green than any of the others. My ex still lives in that first house we built. Whatever.

A dear friend once told me he had attended a Spiritualist Church as he knew I (at that time) was interested in stuff like that.
He gave me the address.
I went, on my own.
This chap told me that a very dear friend would 'cross over to the other side' (I think those were the words he used) very soon.
He also said my daughter had a weak left ankle and he saw a tree.
My daughter as a young child used to climb trees and twisted her ankle falling out of the tree. She still suffers with it now, although it wasn't broken at the time.
The very dear friend he told me I would lose, was the dear friend who told me to attend the Spiritualist Church. He died of a brain haemorrhage.
I often wondered if they told him this, but I almost sure they wouldn't have.

Psychicism has nothing to do with fairground fortune tellers, Ouija boards, tarot cards, crystal balls or black mirrors. This is called quackery.
So called “psychic readings” scams, fortune telling is actually a criminal offence in some countries.
I am not going to go into what it is because it takes up a lot of time which I don’t have today. However, rather briefly …psychic energy is a life energy or cosmic energy and the correct term is Psychotronic Energy.
Some people if not all, are born with this energy. Many have no idea how to use it or even that it exists.
Others on the other hand become aware of it from early childhood.

I’ve never visited a living psychic, but can well remember these fortune-telling machines from numerous arcades that I have been in that featured a large manikin of varying designs that in response to a dropped coin would demonstrate some movement then drop a card with your “fortune“ down a slot.
These “Robo-psychics” were both art, and creepy! Some, like the “Zoltar” version, are quite iconic…

No, not a psychic. Got to a Gypsy reader. We realised our mutual beliefs. I had dreams recently, I needed answers.
I got a Palm/Whole Hand reading as well as Tarot. She was at a fair in 78.
She cleared the answers of my predictive dreams and hit every true bits in the first 20 years (my choice amongst her offerings). She was spot on.
Later on in 89, friends of ours took us to a psychic fair. There, we found a row of five psychic. Four out of 5 couldn't answer a simple question, to which I knew the answer. The fifth one, even though she was correct, took one look at me, eye-to-eye...
And told me: "Don't waste your money deary, follow your own intuition, the answers are there within you..." I walked away and received the answers bout a month later. Nice!

You could say a psychic visited me once. I was a member of some online forum about 15 years ago. A woman on there, living at least hundreds, possibly thousands, of miles away said she was psychic and it would be fun to prove it. I was game, so we decided on a time for an experiment. I was going to sit alone in a particular spot in our house at a specified time (establishing my time zone for synchronization). She would report to me what she 'saw' there.
There was no "leading" info given by me, I'd never described or posted images of my home, and I was careful to give no cues. It's important for me to mention that I live about 450 miles, as the crow flies, inland from the Pacific.
I read her post the next day, and the woman mentioned several things about my living room. They were true — though, reading that part, I felt I'd remain skeptical. Because I supposed, by some stretch, they could have been shrewd guesses. But she went on to say "there was a very large fish bone behind where you were sitting". Wow! You see, my wife had once brought home from the Coast a whale vertebra, which was sitting on a table almost directly behind me. Including the spinous process, the object is nearly two-feet tall.
True, in a technical sense, a whale is a mammal, not a fish. But when replying to her posted response, I'd have had no confidence in challenging her belief that she was psychic.
