John Edwards is Real, But!

I do respect other people's right to an opinion on the subject, but I have personally had a reading with John Edward myself. I practice the art of tarot reading, and I am currently learning how mediums do their work. The only difference between me and most other mediums or psychics or card readers is that I never have, nor will I ever, charge anyone money for a reading. I beleive that it is an art and a gift to help people with, not to capitalize off of.

But that aside, yes, many people, charlatans is what I shall call them, have been fraudulent, and have been caught ripping people off, and doing silly parlor tricks, claiming to be communicating with spirits. Harry Houdini, as well as many other investigators used to catch people in the act all of the time. But what most people don't focus on, is the mediums and psychics who have read Mr. Houdini and others who came through with several validating facts, and they could in no way find any way to discredit them. People only concentrate on the ones who have been exposed as frauds. Harry Houdini was a beleiver in spirit contact and had a regular medium he consulted with all of the time, and promised to send signals from the other side once he had crossed. he did beleive, but he was also a great magician, and loved exposing charlatans who would use trickery in what was called "physical mediumship" (spirit rappings, slate writings, floating tables, etc.).

When I went in for my reading with Mr.Edward, I was in a stage in my life of "what does it all mean, and is my time being wasted?" . Even though i had been reading cards myself for years, and I have done countless great readings that astounded and helped lots of people, I was still very skeptical, and I still am, of most people who claim to be mediums. I made the appointment with my real first name, but a fake last name, just to circumvent any possibilities of "researching" (which is ridculous, esp. for a medium like John who has hundreds of clients every year. Names of relatives are possible to find in public records, but personal events and pet names arent).

John told me only to acknowledge the things he told me with a yes or a no, and not to offer any extra information. It is impossible to "cold read" without the subject volunteering any sort of extra information. I made sure to keep my body language and voice steady.

he first told me the name of my grandmother, to the letter, what she died from, she told him to tell me about the scarecrow cookie jar, which was a bear dressed up as a scarecrow, that I liked so much that she gave me before she died. He also told me that she acknowledged my mother, my 2 aunts and my uncle, again, with exact names, because those were her children. John told me one thing, which at the time, I didnt know what he was talking about, so i considered it to be bad information, but he told me I had 2 great aunts, Zoe and Sarah, who had passed over, and I had never heard of anyone in my family with those names.

He also told me about the person I am going to be married to, and that my grandmother will be there in spirit, and that the person had a J name, that ended in a D sound, like jerald. I thought this was wrong too, since at the time, i was engaged to someone named Dave.

Well, I went home with the tape and let my mother listen to it, and she was very impressed, and she had never heard of anyone named zoe or sarah either. I ended up mentioning it to my aunt, who looked extremely shocked, and then told me that her mother (my grandma) had twin sisters, named Zoe and Sarah, that lived to be 3 days old and died from lung failure, having been born with malformed lungs. My mother had completely forgotten about that, and of course, I had never heard of these people.

I had tossed around the possibility that maybe he wasnt talking to spirits,and he was just a psychic, and picked up things my subconscious, but how can something like what I just mentioned be explained? As far as the marriage thing went, about a year after my reading, things got bad with my fiance, I found out he was cheating, and had been cheating, and the engagement was broken off. I am now getting married in June, to someone named Jarrod.

I am not trying to convince anyone of anything, because everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and being skeptical is healthy, but being cynical is very unhealthy. Im sure there are people thinking I am making this up, and I really dont care. I wouldnt bother typing this all up for the sheer hell of it. I dont agree with the fees Mr.Edward charges for his readings,which are extremely steep (at the time, I paid 250$, and this was before his show, so i can only imagine how high his prices are now). I beleive that the more he charges for his readings, the less and less he will begin to see, but thats just my personal opinion. The reason I typed this all up is just to let people know that not every person that claims to be a medium is lying, of course there is no way to prove that they are talking to spirits, its all a matter of faith.

As far as why spirits dont deliver messages that are more "important", well, have people stopped to consider the possible repercussions of having this kind of knowledge. We are here to learn, and to evolve spiritually, not to have the meanings and secrets of life handed to us. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Some how you have interpreted what I said to mean that Psychics can change the world for the better.

I have a reading assignment for you... You should research the real methods Hitlier used for his rise to power and his facination with the Occult. There was a lot more to him and his views then to just pick on the Jews.

Alot of people do a lot of things for personal gain but I can't vouch for the ultimate good that it will do them.

What I do know is that there are things out there that are not understood by logic. The Ouiji Board is one example. For sure its real. For sure it talks for sure something is behind its power but what the hell it is I don't know but I do know not to play with that stuff.

I will just hold on to my soul just in case I need it later on if you don't mind. Thankyou.
