Psychic Superpowers
Jul. 30th, 2003 02:12 pmLast night my oldest sis called me, distraught, in pain. I'm her guiding star when it comes to things magickal & mysterious, so I sat & listened because, to be perfectly honest, what else did I have to do for 2 1/2 hrs last night?
Anyway, two friends of hers were killed on the highway late Monday nite - a man, his wife & their best friend were chasing down a runaway dog & ended up getting hit by a car - only the woman survived, the dog basically died in her arms & she saw her husband of 1 yr. & their best friend die. I didn't really get all the details, but essentially, my sister (her name's Jody, btw) knew that something was going to happen to her friend Jim before he saw his daughter's 1st birthday.
Jody's feeling pretty guilty right now because this particular couple has also created a lot of grief for a lot of people that work & live on the ranch, including Jody & her beau. So a part of Jody, that mean, "you'll get yours eventually, the Wheel of Karma turns for everyone, buddy" part of her, didn't want Jody to warn the guy to be careful. So now that this tragedy has happened, she's put herself over the rack of self-abuse. She can't accept that part of herself because deep down, Jody wants to be a healer & a wise counselor. Jody also is one of those people who lets everyone take & take from her, expecting nothing in return, never saying no, to the detriment of her physical, mental & emotional health. I don't work under the same guidelines exactly because I believe in human nature. Sometimes we all fall prey to our lower, more selfish instincts, and these people were endangering Jody & Brad's home & income, so in my own way I told her, "Hey, sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself & fuck everyone else."
It's an age-old dilemma - if you see something coming, do you say something? Working in the public for the past 2 years, I've seen a lot of things about a lot of people, mostly people I don't know and will never see again. Because I'm a front desk clerk, and I don't like to intrude on other people's lives and space, I usually don't say anything, or I veil it in pleasantries. I tell them to drive carefully, I wish them a safe trip, I tell them to watch out for traffic because people are nuts on Friday nights & Monday mornings... but only once or twice have I ever been more specific, and usually it's because I feel someone may be receptive or because I'm the only one at the counter & my guest is the only one in line. I guess I try to be discreet, try not to embarrass anyone in public, try not to embarrass myself. My coworkers are different - they all know I'm Pagan, they all know I'm a little weird, a little psychic... but they all know I tell the truth and I'm not out to hurt anyone. I'm comfortable letting them know, "Hey, did you turn your stove off, man? Maybe you ought to call home?" But I also get offended when strangers walk up to me in various public places & say things to me like, "I read your aura and I strongly think you should go in for an ovarian biopsy." (which has happened to me, in a Psychic Eye out here...)(She was awful darn pushy about it, too.)
Now, if someone makes the horrible mistake of ASKING for a psychic reading, mostly via Tarot cards... well, that's their own fault. I don't mince words & I tell 'em like I see 'em. "Your life sucks and til you drop the weed, you aint goin' nowhere. O, btw, that kid aint yours."
