Now, there is a kind of disease going around called psychism. There are signs of it. A person or situation is in pain or curiosity or need. This person goes to a ‘psychic’. The psychic sets up a story-world, in which, even if this is openly denied, the psychic represents, effectively, a divine ally or authority. It doesn’t have to be a psychic either — it can be a cult-like explanation (CLE) (e.g. ‘The Secret’, ‘The Celestine Prophecy’, ‘Christianity’, ‘NLP’, and so on) of ‘the extended reality beyond our senses and knowledge’ which comprises a lens on reality and meaning, a subculture, and a social network.

Now, here’s the problem.

What the ‘psychic’ (or CLE)is actually doing -is a trick-. It isn’t that there isn’t anything nonordinary or ‘beyond’ about our minds. There is. But it isn’t what the ‘psychic’ con (or CLE) sets up as the explanation. It’s this: the person who comes? It’s -them-.

It’s not the ‘psychic’ (or the CLE) who has the power at all. It’s the -querant- who IS the power. And the psychic (or CLE) plays on this, and keeps the querant ignorant of this fact, in order to continue to prosper, both in terms of power and resources, from the ‘relationship’.

But this is not a relationship. This is parasitism. And what the psychic (or CLE) is pretending to offer is always less than the querant is, is carrying, would otherwise become, and would themselves -discover far more than- of only led out of the seductive traps of the ‘psychic’ (or CLE) and -into- their own absolutely complete and astonishingly personal (e.g. unique) experience of -what they are and may become in a context that supports, rather than co-opts this.

There is a kind of disease going around called psychism. The cultural order of this disease is comprised of (CLE) ‘cult-like explnations’ which purport to deliver us to new experiences beyond the known and ordinary. Unfortunately, the explanations and purposes of these phenomenon are parasitic, rather than, as they advertise, developmental. Rather than deliver what they promise, they occlude something, co-opt the loss of it, and advertise a compelling substitute that keeps the subject dependent upon them (and blinded by them) like a drug addiction.

The cure for this disease is discovery. This is something we will do without assembling (cle) artifacts, and we will do it with the goal of empowering each person’s unique senses and awareness, not only of how to do far more than any ‘psychic’ could, but also how to discover what was being stolen from, lied about, and sold back to them… in themselves, without the help of experts, ridiculous explanations, or self-falsifying ‘authorities’.

Claro?
