“We have to create culture, don’t watch TV, don’t read magazines, don’t
even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and
time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe,
and if you’re worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody
else, then you are disempowered, you’re giving it all away to icons,
icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to
dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of
thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and
your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your
hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told ‘no’, we’re unimportant,
we’re peripheral. ‘Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.’ And
then you’re a player, you don’t want to even play in that game. You
want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural
engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all
this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”― Terence McKenna

Psychic

A psychic is a person who claims to use extrasensory perception (ESP) to identify information hidden from the normal senses. The word “psychic” is also used as an adjective to describe such abilities. Psychics may be theatrical performers, such as stage magicians, who use techniques such as prestidigitation, cold reading, and hot reading to produce the appearance of such abilities. Psychics appear regularly in fantasy fiction, such as in the novel The Dead Zone by Stephen King.

A large industry and network exists whereby psychics provide advice and counsel to clients.[1] Some famous psychics include Courtney Davy (famous psychic detective with her partner in crime) Edgar Cayce, Ingo Swann, Peter Hurkos, Jose Ortiz El Samaritano,[2]Miss Cleo,[3]John Edward, and Sylvia Browne. Psychic powers are asserted by psychic detectives and in practices such as psychic archaeology and even psychic surgery.[4]

Critics attribute psychic powers to intentional trickery or to self-delusion.[5][6][7][8] In 1988 the U.S. National Academy of Sciences
gave a report on the subject and concluded there is “no scientific
justification from research conducted over a period of 130 years for the
existence of parapsychological phenomena.”[9]
A study attempted to repeat recently reported parapsychological
experiments that appeared to support the existence of precognition.
Attempts to repeat the results, which involved performance on a memory
test to ascertain if post-test information would effect it, “failed to
produce significant effects”, and thus “do not support the existence of
psychic ability,”[10] and is thus categorized as a pseudoscience.

Now as a man is like this or like that,
according as he acts and according as he behaves, so will he be;
a man of good acts will become good, a man of bad acts, bad;
he becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds;

And here they say that a person consists of desires,
and as is his desire, so is his will;
and as is his will, so is his deed;
and whatever deed he does, that he will reap.

— Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 7th Century BCE
