I believe in mediums, but how come you people don’t claim the big cash prizes that are offered for proof?

The only cash prize I ever received was at a company function. They were giving away prizes. My guide told me the next prize was a $25 gift card to Target and they would call my name. Called my name and I got a $25 gift card to target.

There’s lots of reasons we don’t chose to do so. Mine is simple, even if you take out ethics: Those that offer those prizes are often hardcore skeptics, and nothing you say will convince them.
I could talk about people that have passed, their health issues, personalities, struggles. I may mention their hobbies, something that popped into their memory, or a prized possession they had. It will likely not be enough.
The thing is that as mediums, we don’t choose what comes through. So a tester might say what is my keyword, or what color was my favorite dress, or what was my loved one’s last words. Sometimes the spirits answer those questions. Sometimes they don’t. And in my experience, even when they do answer, the skeptics write it off as a lucky guess.
So in short, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.

I just don’t think if you did anyone would still even believe you. Even if someone was like I’m the second coming of Christ and it really was Jesus everyone would say no you’re not

Not a medium but have other psychic skills: because its a skill not a superpower and mediums focus on a different skill set. There is this idea that psychic means you just magically become omniscient when in reality, there are mamy different senses and human skills that some people practice or become more apt in than others. Makes no sense for a clairsentient person(someone who knows by empathy/feel/gut) to suddenly know lottery numbers. Its not a magical power. Its people with an aptitude for empathy, body language, sensing beyond the basic physical and those people work at that skill, find mentor, get training etc… its not magic. Its skills everyone has to different degrees.
Example: Im autistic and reading microexpressions sounded fake to me but I was always missing out and refused to accept what was going on, and that many “normal” people have a skill that seems random and magical to me
I am also synaesthetic and can see sound and personality which seems magical to people without these senses crossed in the brain.
Use it or lose it. Its not a magical superpower that can do anything ever on command. These are skills science will eventually explain imho. But the TV version is magic and fantasy.
Edit: I think personally I would claim the money so I could donate it, but I wouldnt keep it. Definitely not my skillset though which is physical empathy.

Because I literally cannot stand people who hound me with “PROVE IT. PROOOOOVE IT. PROVE IT BY DOING THIS EXACT AND VERY SPECIFIC THING I HAVE ALREADY MADE FULL ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT SO YOU CANT LIVE UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS ANYWAYS”
F those people.

Mediums/psychics communicate with humans, the human spirit, everything to do with humans and the way we are (mind body and soul). They don’t predict lottery numbers or next week’s weather..
-
Well the guys offering them were also the ultinate judges too. So there’s a conflict of interest, and of course they aren’t going to want to say “you were right, you are psychic” and hand over their million dollars even if they did see it.
-
That’s like dark magic sheet right there.
Your gifts are supposed to be used to help others. Abuse of your gift will start to affect your accuracy. Attracting prankster spirits and whatnot. Any decent person wouldn’t try and use their gift for selfish gain like that. -
😂😂 the oldest 🤣 joke in the book I’ve been hearing it since I was 18 when i started reading people and I’m almost 40. You can’t believe in something and yet need proof.
-
I don’t think it works like that.
-
Wonder if I said I have won money with psychic means? How much would it take to impress you? If it has to be a large amount, why is that?
-
Whose offering big cash prizes? The only way to make big money doing this work is either becoming a celebrity with your own popular tv show/book deals like John Edward back in the day, or maybe nowadays becoming a successful social media influencer doing readings…and even then you’re still going to have a niche audience in comparison to other streamers.
-
In my country many spiritual advisers never charge for their work and only accept donations because charging weakens their *gift* i think it would also apply in this scenario idk.
-
I can read current energy and past lives but can’t for the life of me predict lottery numbers or even which icon holds the most amount of points in bejeweled blitz lol. I think ppl have unrealistic expectations when it comes to being psychic. I can’t predict everything at all times.
-
Because the universe doesn’t just give you what you want, you wanna abuse your gift and fuck with the universe, best believe the universe is gonna fuck you right back up if you tried something like this.
Not to mention, mediums do not have to prove themselves to anyone. People choose to believe what they want, it’s not our job to convince you what to believe in, we’re just messengers, if you choose to receive the message then that’s up to you, not up to us.
