Tell me

Last night I went to a local psychic I met last year. I talked to the guy a few times before the reading. He had some interesting things to say in the chats, but I felt weird going because I wasn't sure how good he was. A good one can get past saying general things and delve into into specifics. They can say, "money will come your way," but the thing about money is it's fluid, money's always coming and going. That's just a given and such statements only describe the general nature of something and can't be a prediction.

Needless to say, "money will come may way," sez Bob the psychic.

He then said stuff about marriage and a kid. I'm 31, and isn't that what most people have their minds on at this age? Isn't that what most people want to hear?

I thought I got generalizations and felt relieved I didn't have to pay much for this. We then had involved exercises in meditation and breathing, which he actually didn't include in the hour-long reading. He also put me on a table and gave me a chiropractic adjustment, and I felt lighter on my feet. He prescribed some yoga positions to try. I thought this part was pretty cool because I never got an individual yoga consultation where someone actually discussed the physical and spiritual benefits. There's hundreds of postures and practices and I've tried a lot, I liked that it was individualized.

I thought the reading would be concluded with the yoga, but I now think he was just getting warmed up.

Bob said my life is a double-edged sword. I can be mentally sharp and penetrating with knowledge and with people, or I can play off my intelligence and let myself be spacey and apathetic. My emotions are intense and deep, or they whip my ass and I'm constantly in need of therapy. I can either be an excellent taskmaster and do well with leading, or I can become a dictator obsessed with order. I started in life surrounded with harsh people and went through a lot of crazy shit; I can either play the victim or I can overcome it through discipline, education, and spiritual practice. However, he says he was impressed with a nature that's always gentle towards others and concerned with the world. Generalizations, nothing... these parts were right. It reminded me of this from last year.

The scary thing he said was I had problems with friends and people who were very materialistic and were not very good friends to begin with. (I write about this more in my paper journal than here). He strongly suggested I drop them. (weird-oh-weird... There's my father's family, my Sis Princess & her husband, and the fair-weather friends I made in my last 2 years at Univ. of Rust Belt). He talked like this was still an issue, and suggested I see people through the heart rather than my eyes.

Forecast: marriage, a beautiful baby girl, and the chances are good I'm gonna be breaking away from something (or someone) early next year. The time is good now for me to work with information and computers (I didn't tell him I was a librarian... weird), or to break into something new.

Generalization or not??? Good question.
