Zeus' Palatial Blog

A friend of mine pointed out last night that I hadn’t updated my blog in nearly two months and people would start to think that perhaps I’d lost interest in psi, or even fallen off the face of the Earth. Let me assure all of you that I have neither lost interest in psi, nor have I fallen off the face of the Earth. I have simply been incredibly busy and haven’t squeezed updating my blog into my daily schedule. Guess it’s time that I change that up a little though.

People in other communities that I haven’t visited recently due to my lack of extra time have been asking me whether I still practice psi. This question always concerns me because psi isn’t something you pick up try a little and then put down. Psi is a way of life. Everything I do everyday has something to do somehow with psi. Whether it be intents that I’ve laid down to establish goals, or information I’ve gathered in order to do something I am constantly using psi in my life. I suppose I find myself using psi for slightly different things being a parent than I would have when I was younger. My wife and I are constantly in flux with work and personal schedules so it’s nice to be able to reconnect with her on issues of mutual interest when we clear our schedules for each other. We also like to stay one step ahead of our sons. It’s not always possible of course, but knowing what the kids are up to at any given time is a real time saver as a parent. When they were younger psi also saved loads of time in deciphering what was wrong and how we could go about soothing them. I realize that this level of psi won’t appeal to everyone since not everyone is married and not everyone has kids. But when I was younger my friend group used to use psi in order to communicate get-togethers and locations where we all were. For the younger set I was a teenager before cell phones were popular and GPS was still a secret military thing, so we would use psi for things that you’d use your smart phone for these days. Making psi an integral part of your life isn’t really that difficult, it just takes some creativity and an open mind. The benefits of a psi-life are worth the effort.

As you all know I’ve postponed the Psychic Reading course due to my full schedule and will be pushing it into 2010. I am expecting a slowdown in the dead of winter for work, so that will give me the necessary time to actually finish writing up everything. I realize that many people are anxious for new material unfortunately it does take a lot of time to put it all together, so you have to be patient. The Psi Palatium has been around for over a decade already - it isn’t like it’s going anywhere.

Those of you that haven’t joined the chat channel regularly should consider doing so. It’s a great community that can have some wonderful conversations if you start them up. Don’t be shy - there’s nothing to lose and a whole new life with psi to gain!

As long as I’ve been working in my path some of the reactions I receive when people discover the psi aspect of my life never cease to amaze me. Now to be fair I do have a very strong personality and presence and am assured of what I do; however I love exploring the concepts and ideas of others as well. I am quite open regarding my involvement with psi and with the Psi Palatium Community itself, but it doesn’t always come up in conversation so some people stumble onto that area of my life accidentally. Most people Online know me only through my work with psi. Offline however I come across much more scientific due to my educational background and business dealing in computer and business consulting. This Offline desync with my Online persona is what catches some people off guard when they realize what constitutes a huge portion of my life (and actually is my life base).

I’ve experienced negative reactions, skepticism and shock and awe however the vast majority of people that I deal with Offline (friends and otherwise) suddenly will open up and gush forth info to me. I still find it amusing that a good 95% of the people that realize what I do with psi will feel as if they’ve suddenly found someone that won’t think they’re crazy for their own feelings, and experiences. When people discover my involvement with psi for the first time I can generally count on one of two initial reactions. The first reaction is the person that will confirm it with me, go confirm it with other friends of mine and then return at a later time to ask questions and talk about psi. The other reaction is much more fun where a person will realize what I do in psi and then launch directly into a conversation regarding their experiences etc while hoping to tap into feedback from me.

For those of you wondering about the negative reactions - yes I’ve had a few. Many years ago, before I started my company, some co-workers of mine from a certain religious background were quite horrified to learn of my involvement with psi. My co-workers were quite convinced that their Holy texts forbid psi outright and that made me quite a bad person. Now this could have been a bad situation since I was technically their Team Leader, but instead we talked about it and I asked them to talk with their religious leader regarding psi and that we could even all get together and discuss what was and was not acceptable. So after openly discussing the issues (meeting with religious leaders) and generally being open and honest about drawing parallels between the differing aspects of their lives and religion and my own we came to a mutual understanding and common ground where everyone was quite happy. I ended up learning a lot about their religion and so did they. Was it a negative experience in the end? No, but it started out that way. To be perfectly honest I’ve never had anyone outright walk away from me for my involvement with psi.

What brought all this on? Last night I was fixing a friend of my in-law’s computer. I’ve known her through my in-law’s for many years and while testing out Internet speeds and connectivity I tend to bounce back and forth to different pages on the Palatium website simply because I know how fast each page should load. After hitting up the Palatium website a few time she commented that it seemed like an interesting site. I proceeded to explain about the Palatium and my involvement after which she took to reaction #2. It was a great conversation that she actually got her son in on and we’ve scheduled a session with a group of hers that is just beginning to wonder what their dreams mean (a recent discussion — how convenient is that timing?).

You just never know where the next corner will take you (well, you do if you’re psychic because it’s like having a GPS but that’s kind of like cheating too isn’t it? Guess we’ll have to wait for the Art of Psychic Readings to see)
