What do you other NF's think about psychics?
Are there legitimate psychics out there?
Have you ever gone to a psychic? How often and why? What questions did you have the most interest in? Future money? Future love? Children? Family members? Career?
Have you ever had a psychic tell you detailed things theres no way they could have just "known" or read off you?
At the same time, do you believe in auras? Have you personally ever had a picture of your aura done?
Why is this in the NF section, and why are you asking NF's specifically? Do you especially believe that if people have "yes" answers to these questions that they will say so here? Some might, others probably won't.
We had a couple of these kind of threads going over in the religion/spirituality section like 2 years ago, I think I even started 2-3 of them. Several people commented privately on their interest/experience in them, but pointed out that they didn't wish to publicly comment on them.
Personally, I have always hated the work "psychic" and generally try to avoid it like that plague with the single exception of using it as a technical name for a level of existence when following or using a "Ken Wilber" model or description of higher states of consciousness. [Gross, psychic, subtle, causal, non-dual]. I do enjoy using the phrase "spirit world" from time to time though.
I don't like answering these kind of questions in the NF section of TypC, but since it was asked:
I think there are both legitimate people, and their are frauds. On many specific topics I am rather agnostic. I'm not sure where I personally call the line between what I will give credence to and what I won't. However, people who "claim to talk to dead people" I'm usually pretty wary of. Especially if they have been dead for a while.
Yes I have been to psychics and/or allowed them to practice on me. Yes, they did know very detailed things that they "normally" should have not been able to know [for examples details of my mothers childhood, which was like 50 years ago and 1500 miles away].
I can sense auras. No I have not ever had a "picture" of my aura taken. I have had numerous individuals "read" it though. Though different people and/or different times, they generally concurred about what they sensed and its interpretation.
Oh, I think that virtually every "psychic" or whatever they called themselves, and virtually every yoga teacher I've ever met, has been a NF. The former seemed to have more NFP's while the latter seemed to be almost entirely INFJ's, for whatever that is worth.
