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!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks since I last posted — or days — it depends who’s timeline you’re following. I have been attempting to keep things going in this blog, but sometimes I just don’t feel like typing out what’s going on. To be brutally honest I forgo typing for sleep.

But I’m back and this past weekend saw Apollo’s birthday come and go. My youngest son received all sorts of things from the huge throng of people that seemed to flock to the house for cake and ice cream drizzled with maple syrup. Sometimes it’s difficult to think of the boys growing up so fast, but they have to at some point or I’ve really screwed up an intent somewhere!

This week sees me once again placed “on call” so I will be relatively non-existent in the community. I’m actually not overly looking forward to being outside as it is -25C at the moment and the wind is throwing it into the -30s. Of course we all do what we must and I’m sure I’ll only complain more about it the older that I get (isn’t that an old person’s right?).

Work continues to throw new curves at me and that always keeps things interesting …. which brings up a great point that I get asked a lot. If I can do psychic readings of people’s futures, and read guide posts, etc why is it that I can be surprised by things in my own life? It’s a fair question and actually has a two part answer. The first thing is that I am psychic and NOT all-knowing. There are a lot of things that I do not see, or hear about - I just happen to have a really great safety net of people to fill in the blanks for me. The second part of the answer is that knowing your own future is absolutely no fun what-so-ever, so I rarely look into my life (beyond the necessary evils of keeping myself alive). With the thousands upon thousands of psychic readings I’ve done through the community I can count on my hands the number of times that I myself have received a reading about my life (and then usually only as a means of letting a new reader practice).

I’m looking forward to getting the Dream Course underway in the Circle and should have things back in working order for Wednesday. It’ll cut a couple days out of people’s practice time, but since it’s the first round I don’t think it should matter much.

That’s all for now - stay strong!

It’s been a couple of days since I posted last and some of my more recent (irl) conversations have centred around my thoughts on paid psychics vs. unpaid psychics. Paid psychics would be the people that request money and profit from the giving of insight to another, and unpaid psychics would be people that provide insight without monetary gain.

To be quite honest I’m of two minds on this subject since I believe that if someone puts in enough time to call their “psychic” business full time then they should be paid for it. Saying that I am always careful to add that to me it is more important the caliber of psychic than whether or not they wish to be compensated for their insights. I truly believe that it is far more important to weed out frauds and hacks from the masses than anything else. If another person could be 100% sure a person was a good psychic then they would be able to decide whether to spend money, or find someone that works for free.

Back when we first opened the Psi Palatium’s chat channel several staff members and general members would give free readings several hours a week both for practice and free insight for others. Unfortunately over the years as free things go people took advantage of the service and enough volunteer psychics didn’t have enough time to provide the service and so we’ve gotten away from doing psychic readings openly as much as we used to. I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing a class series devoted to insight and psychic readings once my upcoming dream course finishes up where we could practice in the chat channel once again (it’s actually loads of fun if you can find the time to put into it).

So, paid or unpaid? I don’t think it really matters as long as the psychic is moral, honest, and accurate (as can be said of a psychic).

And that brings about a whole other series of questions on accuracy. How accurate is psychic insight, or any psi ability that involves seeing? That really depends on the person and their experience, but anything over 75% accuracy is far above chance and gives a person enough information to make a decision for themselves. How accurate am I? That answer depends on the day, my mood, how much energy I have, what I’m doing …. I was in my usual twelve windows of conversations plus Skype the other evening when someone asked for a demonstration. I declined because of the inability to focus, but a little while later I found myself talking about remote viewing in five of the twelve conversations which of course flipped it on for me and I was looking at different locations. I was not focused and so had to ask who’s room had a green easy chair with a dark binder on it (in the corner) and who’s room had the small green sofa with light on the ground. Turns out it was a green recliner with a white binder in shadow in one room and a green loveseat with a lamp on the floor in another. To me I knew they were different locations but associating them with the person just wasn’t happening because of the lack of focus. As for accuracy .. not bad .. I got the colour of the binder incorrect and the type of lamp on the floor wrong - still it was enough in the right locations (there was of course more explanation to the RV sessions) to pinpoint, for the people I was talking to, their own room. Is that conclusive? Of course not! People on both sides of the argument can make up all kinds of conversations from what I just said.

In the end — the decision is yours to make — paid or unpaid — accurate or not — take the responsibility upon yourself
