Hmm. I've mostly got second hand information when it comes to psychic reading. My mother claims that the village psychic knew that she was married to my father, who owned a factory in the UK. Nothing spectacular there, as it can easily be figured out through cold-reading. The coincidence was the part where she claimed that my father had a serious problem with his nose, which he did eventually go to get surgery performed on. It wasn't totally accurate however, as she had my mother believe that it was life threatening. But that only goes to show you that 'psychic' information isn't always 100% accurate as it goes through a filter.
My 1st experience:
The individual kept informing me that I'm still learning. He told me some information about guides and so fourth, trying to help me figure out which path to take in regards to university choices and comforting me in the fact that I was extremely attached to my current friends and wanted to be with them. He mentioned the number 4, and asked whether that meant anything to me. It didn't mean anything back then, but I suppose looking back it could have referred to the fact that there was the 4th path even though it looked like I only had 3 paths. I stayed at the university I wanted to, to do psychology even though I was convienced I had to leave, stick with the course or change to something slightly different. Then again, that's just random connections.
I had told him about how I was thinking about educational psychology at the beginning of the conversation. The weird part was when he suddenly blurted out "The guides say that you won't be a teacher"... which was actually one of my potential career ideas for an extremely long time. Now, it's not exactly out of the blue in the sense that he could have easily linked educational psychologist to potential teacher, but it's all abit weird.
2nd experience:
Answered some questions and raised some new questions. This one talked about the idea of past lives. It claimed that I had made a promise to a friend (I asked about) about being together forever, that I never got to keep that promise because I died in war instead, and that the promise has become a burden on the two of us (unnecessary attachment). The part that made me facepalm was the fact that it claimed this happened in ancient china. It just seemed kinda cheesy. =/
Overall, I'd like to explore these stuff a little more in the future but I'm becoming more reluctant to examine my life through these tools as I find they influence my own views and actions a little too much. For example, astrology claims that I'm not a good match with my girlfriend (22%)... I'd prefer to ignore it and go ahead with the relationship even though I'm uncertain about the future. Jeez, I'd never have expected I'd be travelling down this 'uncertainty' path given my preference for certainty.
I'm still not 100% on where I stand with this stuff.
I can't see there being any restriction on it.
