Once, I saw a "tea room" and went in, wanting a cup of tea. The main business there was the reading of the tea leaves, but I was the only customer, and was able to order just the beverage. Then, the lady didn't have enough change. I said I'd get change and return. I left my folder on the table, but walked as if I was not coming back. The "psychic" picked up on my body language, and didn't notice the security I'd left her. She admitted to being surprised I came back, and then I grabbed my stuff. 
I don't think she had predicted the viability of her business correctly, either.

aghogday, I dont know what T'ype-Two Trigeminal Neuralgia' is like exactly, but it sounds bad, reeeal bad. Only thing I've had that could come close, is probably tooth ache. Sounds like you were crucified and resurrected. Lived to tell. Walked through the valley of darkness, until daylight dawned.
Talking of modes of perception, (psychic or not,) consciousnesses,brains. Ever hear of TPN vs DMN antagonistic networks? they were mapped/discovered about a decade ago, (I think,) by neuroscientists. In a sense it replaces the old left brain /right brain dichotomy/paradigm. It's more nuanced look at what goes on inside the brain. There's two specifically mutually exclusive systems, when one is activated, the other is disabled, and vice versa. One (TPN: Task Positive Network) involves analytical logical mechanical recesses, the other (DMN: Default Mode network) more interpersonal process, like social empathy, emotions. Its complex, there are scientific papers out there on it. I read some about a year ago.

Actually, Iain McGilchrist's Work
on Left And Right Brain Processes
Are New And Also Replace the Old
Dichotomy of Left Brain And Right Brain
Specific Skills; It is More of A Difference in

Impacts The Way

And Yes, i Am Somewhat Familiar With 'the Default
Network' And Also too, How When it is Not Regulated
Well Folks Have Difficulty Filtering Out Stimulus From the
Environment; And Interestingly For Folks With Higher So-Called
Standard IQ That is Often More A Reflection of Mechanical

Folks Tend to Go Off in 'Dreamtime'

Hard Time Returning, if Ever At All; And Of
Course, Nature And Nurture And Environmental
Challenges Make A Difference to How Epigenetic
Effects Come For Positive or Negative Change As
Well As Positive or Negative Neuroplasticity too...
And Yes, Type Two Trigeminal Neuralgia is Kind of
Like An Abscess Tooth, Yet it Was in the Area of my Right
Eye And Ear That No Drug Would Touch; Yep, It's Kind of Like
A Dentist Drill With No Novocaine too As That is A Very Painful
Place

I personally still find John Edwards very entertaining. He uses a very intuitive form of deductive reasoning.

I have noticed this about myself. I seem to "know" whats going to happen next. Its..weird. And i am often correct. like 90% of the time. scary.
Can you do that with anything that would demonstrate your predictive skill, such as current affairs?As a side note, I have noticed that prognosticators often use excuses like "The future is in constant flux", "There are many branches in the timestream", and "The winds of time blow erratically" to explain their failed predictions.

If the alleged prediction is posted after a past event has occurred, then the alleged prediction is invalid. The prediction must be posted before the predicted event occurs for the prediction to be valid.

Yes, I meant "can you predict a current affairs event that will happen so that we can see how the prediction pans out?" For example, I'd like to know what's going to happen to the UK pound to US dollar exchange rate over the next 3 months.
My favourite excuse is that supernatural events don't happen in the presence of skeptics, but I've not heard it used for a long time. I gather the idea is that the spirits stay away from people who are hostile towards them, but I'm not hostile, I just don't believe amazing statements without good evidence. Why that should annoy humans or supernatural beings, I don't know.
