Psychic Chat Online and the Politics of Money

By Barna Carly

One of the fastest growing internet sensations is the rapid spread of sites offering psychic chat online. The explosion in growth of these sites correlates with a dramatic rise in peoples interest in matters concerning psychics and paranormal activity. There are many benefits to this phenomenon, not the least of which is the instant access to psychic readings that these sites provide to people in need of their services. Much has been written on this subject, and over the coming years it is a safe bet that much more will be written. One of the aspects of this sensation that is often ignored, however, is the opportunity that these sites provide for many novice psychics and even non-psychics who wish to test themselves for any sign of psychic ability.

In saying that psychics should only be allowed to offer their abilities for free, the critics are recycling an argument that has been used with some measure of effect in regards to priests and ministers of the Christian faith. The argument flies in the face of common sense and common decency, as most people believe that a workman is due his or her wages. In other words, when one uses ones talents to assist people who need them, one should be allowed to earn a living from that service. To deny that basic premise is to assert that psychics " who have in some cases an irrepressible need to help their fellow man " should be left with no source of income should they choose to follow their calling at a psychic chat online.

Another feature that many of these sites offer is the option to basically audition as a psychic. They will test you and determine what, if any, level of psychic abilities you are presenting " and then make a determination as to whether or not you possess sufficient insight, intuition, and skill to merit additional attention and training. The benefits of that process are obvious, as many young psychics experience an array of difficulties when they first discover their psychic inclinations. Many are fearful of being labeled and as a result allow their abilities to languish in silence rather than sing for the entire world to hear. Psychic chat online offers them an opportunity to realize that they are not alone and that they have a very large group of peers available to them at any time. This is an invaluable benefit as it provides these young potentials with the outlet they need to fell normal and wanted as they explore the boundaries of their psychic abilities.

Sites offering psychic chat online, while still young within the context of the internet itself, are already mature enough to at least attempt to provide some greater benefits to the psychic community at large. The identification and development of new novice psychics is an important function that cannot be emphasized enough. More important is the role that these sites can choose to play in the assimilation of these young people into society at large. The very existence of psychic chat online provides clear evidence to any young psychic that his abilities are nothing to be ashamed of.
