Grizabella;
Its not that, I just dont mind a look at and into ideas people put up ... or reasonable analysis or shooting down of my own ideas. Its a bout the logic and internal consistencies of anyone's ideas including my own. I prefer not just to say ... we don't see eye to eye and walk away.
Besides, there seems a misconception involved as well (and besides I have no presents to wrap up
)
So how have you managed to keep track of every person you've ever read for? I'd love to have your system so I could do that, too.
I haven't. Why would I need to ? Why did you assume that was relevant ? This comment was in response to a simple statement I made saying; " according to testimony in quiet a few threads here (and my own experience) it doesnt work out that way. It can be wrong regardless."
I am not saying anything that needs me (or anyone else) to " keep track of every person you've ever read for " .... I dont understand why that is thrown in ?
I am saying sometimes (and for some many times) the reading is wrong. Actually, if you are claiming that your readings are never wrong (and that seems implied due to what you wrote about your future predictions are about the actual outcome, regardless of any in between changing dynamics) then you would be the one that would have to demonstrate a track record. I am not claiming any such thing.
I have written it 3 times lately here ... but I will again as you asked;
I read by presenting a general situation, the querant may or may not be able to relate a specific event in their life to it. If so that gives us a focus to go ahead and use the reading advice for that situation. if they cant relate an event, it is read as general advice or about something that may eventuate. Sometimes they came back and said that something related did eventuate and they were able to use the advice in the reading to help them. Not everyone came back and gave me feedback, so I dont know what happened for the others. people didnt come back and say "That reading was useless and I couldnt apply it to anything. " They may be out there thinking that ... I dont know.
I didn't say that. Go back and read again.
Okay, I did. Now you go back and read mine again . I didnt say you did that did I ? I was referring to what was by others .... if I was meaning you said it, I would have quoted it or said 'you said' ... I was talking about some of the things some people come up with that try to explain why events changed after the prediction.
But if I read your posts clearly, you seem to be saying your predictions are after and include any of the possible changes to predict the future as it actually will happen - and sorry if I miss-interpreted here ... but after all, if I did, you dont seem that clear about it yourself - even after an edit.
I know you're avidly an opponent of the idea that Tarot can predict the future.
No ... I dont believe I have ever said that, I have as many wacky stories about that as anyone ... a bit hard to be in the biz for so long without seeing that. I do not believe tarot is reliable for predicting the future though. Many recent problems ( about 'why is tarot wrong' ) people seem to have is they think every time, anyone should be able to predict the future if the declare they are a tarot reader and can do it. Some time it hits and sometimes it misses.
But to me, I dont focus on that as it is immaterial . One sure way of knowing what will actually happen is just living and doing it. One has to open the box at some stage. A reading IMO offers advice about how to manipulate the outcome and juggle and manage any necessities.
That's obvious by now. But I'm equally avidly of the other opinion. And---according to testimony in many threads and MY own experience, it does work out that way.
WEll, that is just setting up adversarial camps. I have seen some say it does at times and doesnt at other times , or it CAN at times and doesnt seem able to at times.
I have never seen such a clear division of opposites here in my perception of the discussions ( with one or two exceptions) .
I am not the one who says, "you did something that changed things", so if you think I am, you've not read my posts very well. That's the out that people take who do read the future (see my sig) and are afraid they'll be wrong.
If you dont do that, why are you accepting it? I wasnt refering to you but you have taken it on. Actually I am offering up some ideas people have had and accessing their validity ... I am not actually on about people as such .
I'm not going to stick around for arguments about all this.
I'm way behind in making my Christmas gifts. Ravenest, you and I will just have to agree to disagree. Both of us are set in cement in our opinions.
Was that a Christmas raspberry ? Thanks for my present (and no need to wrap it up
)
Maybe later when the Christmas stress is over and you come back to read this, you might get a clearer pic of what I am on about ?
