. Skeptics are so 70s.

I am not 100% accurate on anything and nor would I care to be. I have trouble interpreting information. I mix up timelines. Sometimes when I read for something, they ask about 1 person and I am reading someone totally different. I do not know how accurate any of the information I am getting is until my clients verify it.

Some examples I could give on this would be (I won’t get into specifics, just due to client confidence):
- Giving someone specific details on how their loved one died, with only a name. The person who had crossed over had also given me a name which happened to be their mother–whom this person was good friends with.
- I read for someone who wanted to know about their career, but I ended up telling them very specific details about how their grandmother had died. The only thing I got wrong was that I thought it was a male.
- I did a reading for someone who wanted to know about person A. The details were coming in very clear, but they told me I was incorrect. The details kept coming. Turns out I was reading very accurately about someone else who was on their mind at the moment of the reading.
- With some clients, they will want to know when they will hear from someone. My timing stinks, but with at least 4 of them, like clockwork, if I tell them there will be communication at that time (without them communicating first), the communication comes.
- Once I saw someone getting into an argument with a loved one. I saw glass everywhere in what I mistook as broken glass bottles (the loved one had a drinking problem). That was wrong. It wasn’t glass bottles. The person was pushed into a glass table, which shattered everywhere, by the loved one.

This is just a small sampling of things I have seen, heard or felt. What may be surprising is that I am also a skeptic and I actually don’t believe a whole lot about what the metaphysical community accepts. All I know is that clearly SOMETHING is happening. I attribute this to biology. I believe that these abilities do exist as a form of heightened instinct. Since we no longer need this instinct for finding out where to hunt for food, obtain suitable mates, etc, some of us, still retaining a fairly strong sense of this intuition that has been utilized with the changing of the times.

Concerning whether or not a psychic has ever won the lottery, I know one who has, but it was only $500 and due to religious beliefs, she does not believe she is “psychic.” She had seen the numbers in a dream. On the whole, I don’t think most psychics are able to receive that type of information. I don’t do well with numbers or timing at all. If I could receive lottery numbers, I’d definitely give it a try.

Who knows!

Anyways, I’m always careful about trusting a magician – their whole game is to trick you.

I probably lean more towards what the brains at Princeton have to say.

It’s great to add additional resources from both sides of the argument to the comments, so thanks for that.

If these “agents” and “percipients” were able to replicate these journalled results under test conditions they’d be able to claim a hefty reward from James Randi. Even if they didn’t want the money themselves, they could pass it onto a needy charity.

Why do you think it is that they haven’t done so? The same question can be asked of any claimants of paranormal powers – why don’t they wish to “prove” their abilities (obviously many have tried without success) – yet the reward has stood unclaimed (and growing) for decades.

Further, the “Contact Us” page at your link states that “…the PEAR laboratory has closed…”. You asked: “What do those guys at Princeton know about anything though.”? I guess Princeton U decided enough was enough. But the guys that ran the show have spun-off into their own private organization as explained at the “Future” link at your recommended site. Why? One of their goals is:

Advising corporate efforts dedicated to the realization of beneficial applications in various sectors of society. In this context, we hope to involve cogent entepreneurs and visionary venture capitalists,s for whom the ultimate market deployments could be huge, in mutually profitable collaborations. One such enterprise has been initiated with Psyleron, Inc.”

Again, I reckon if they want a quick, honest buck, they should approach Randi. But maybe “honesty” isn’t part of their mission statement.

After thousands of case studies, they claimed that “remote perception” exist “beyond chance.” They also claim accuracy with “remote perception” is interdependent upon the time or space (you can look at something a thousand miles away 10 years back). What do those guy at Princeton know about anything though. – Mary Kay

Yes, I miss the old iTalktoGod posts. At one point I was compiling a set of questions that I was going to post on your site for you to ask him. This was one of them:

“Why do you give us logic and reasoning skills, but then do not want us to apply these skills when it comes to you?”

Carrie said: Point well taken, and I wish I could answer that. But please understand that those who become aware of information do not always know the timeframes and specifics together, hence my points earlier about the pieces of the puzzle being hard to put together. Sometimes you know timeframes, other times you don’t.

Timeframes are often the most difficult, although there are times when you know without a doubt because it is relevent to the information in some unchangeable way, like 9/11. That’s different than when it applies to things that can be changed from what they currently have the potential to be, like Chicago. We often do not know the difference right away.

Respectfully, I think you understand why people are so hesitant to put theirself out there. Your expectations are that we know all and nail it to the wall when it is rarely that simple. And yes, I understand that under those circumstances it can make even the most genuine advisor look suspect. But that does not make it any less credible.

PD said: Thanks for the discussion Carrie. I look forward to reading about the amazing information you’ve channeled (conduited) from the future.
