I've been having some psychic experiences in terms of
the war and
having visions that really seemed to come true. Okay
spooky stuff,
especially when you can back it up with links to news
stories and
shit. So I'm a little freaked out. I don't know whether
to tell my
shrink, if he's gonna put me on new meds, higher meds
or what, they're
talking about LOWERING my meds, so I'm looking for some
alternative
help with this stuff.
So I write the whole thing up. I join this Yahoogroup
called
[Empaths/Sensitives/Psychics] and for some reason I
just had it in my
mind that they would UNDERSTAND that they would say
"Oh yes, come in
brother, yes, you are very gifted, we will show you
the ways of The
Force, you will be a great warrior THINK NOT of these
foolish doctors
and pills WE will guide you and teach you to use your
gifts for the
forces of GOOD, you are one of us now..."
It was a bunch of FUCKING LAME-ASS LIMP-WRISTED PANTY-WAISTED
SOFT,
MIDDLE-AGED, MIDDLE-CLASS WIMPY **NEW FUCKING AGERS**
is what it was
talking about:
"When I see someone smile... I smile too... I pick
up on their
feelings... I'm an empath"
"Me too... when I see someone frown... I frown... I'm psychic"
They're talking about "Peace, Love and Light"
and the energy that
comes from the color blue... and "Oh have you seen
that latest Harry
Potter movie he's SO CUTE hehehehe".
So I've got major fucking issues at stake I'm seeing
aztec snakes
getting chopped apart and blades coming out of the southwest,
I'm
having things confirmed by news reports. I see Laura
Bush's face flash
at me on the computer screen in a visual hallucination!
I write this
big manifesto of ALL my psychic phenomenon just to show
the fuckers
what it's like to be psychic.
AND THEY KICK ME OUT!!
They kick me out as some kind of NUTCASE KOOK WHACKO FREAK!!
Oh those bastards. If I ever see another one of those
crystal-wearing
orchid-lovin' namby pamby world-peace visualizin' DO-GOODERS
again I
SWEAR I'LL SPIT at 'em!
Bastards!

Hi Phinny,
I've found that sometimes it's better not to share your
natural gifts,
what with the probability that they won't be appreciated
anyway,
and if they are, maybe envied.

Well, as I see it, you have THREE CHOICES:
1) Become a Carlos Castaneda fan.
2) Check out Madonna's upcoming documentary about
the Kaballah:

3) Get drunk, get laid, get arrested, get over.

Very few of them have any abilities like that, so they
don't know how
to deal with it.
If you read them for any length of time you find (as
you have) that
they have redefined "magic" and "witchcraft"
as something benign,
normal, non-threatening, and most important having nothing
to do with
the uncanny. That way they can have the little thrill
of running
around saying 'OOH OOH I am a great Witch' without having
to deal with
the scary part of actual experiencing something strange
in their
lives. Plus it makes the hardline skeptic crowd stop
making fun of
them.
So when they talk about "magic" or "witchcraft"
they find a new way to
spell it, to make sure that you know that when they
talk about "magic"
or "witchcraft" you understand (or you are
supposed to, anyway) that
they are NOT talking about "magic" or "witchcraft".
They are talking
about fluffy bunny huggy sensitivity (wicca/witchcraft)
or tough
self-actualization (magick/thelema/magic). Most of
their "practice"
is a long, complicated process of finding ways to bury
the reality of
their non-talent behind a lush screen of double-talk.
If they ever encountered something truly inexplicable
in their lives
they would defecate their pants and quickly become born-again
Christians and spend the rest of their lives hiding
in a quaking panic
from the Devil. In fact, that is not an infrequent
outcome when one
of them inadvertantly does actually succeed.

Of course they are. They're all a bunch of
crystal-loving-sweetness-and-lighters. When I once had
an ear-ache one
of them actually told me to STICK A CRYSTAL IN MY EAR!!!
I said, "Yeah,
and what about YOUR FUCKING HEMORRHOIDS!?"

Phineas, this may not be news to you but go here -

This was a moderately interesting programs that skimmed
over some
interesting possibilities maybe interesting to follow
up. It also feature
my favourite MAD looking guy Prof Vilayanur Ramachandran
and that polite
rent a god and Darwinian zealot Prof Richard Dawkins.
