The Ethics of Predicting Death

PSYCHIC: THE ETHICS OF PREDICTING DEATH

If an authentic psychic consultant sees or senses death of a loved one during a psychic reading, should s’he speak of it? The ethics of doing so has been debated in metaphysical circles. During my beginnings back in the mid-70s, when I still read Tarot Cards before working as a psychic channel, there was a simple indicator of “death by heart attack”. The Death card stood in a certain relation to the 3 of Swords (the image is of a sword piercing a heart figure, the Waite-Rider deck or pack), and depending on how it related to other cards in my basic 10 card Celtic Spread, and, depending on the feeling, the intuitive or psychic impression I received, it could foretell a death, a transition from physical existence to the Spirit Realm. Most often, however, the Death Card merely signaled potential major change in the querent’s life.

During one memorable reading at the beginning of my career as a psychic, I read for a middle-aged woman who had never married and had always lived with her elderly mother who she was, I later found, extremely attached to. I was strongly impressed to inform her that her mother would soon die. The woman cried, then explained her deep emotional attachment to her mother, and that she had never, oddly, considered the inevitability of her death.

Many months later the same woman returned, this time to thank me. She explained that if she had not been told of her mother’s death, giving her time to prepare mentally and emotionally, she might have gone insane with grief. Ordinarily I would as an ethical psychic have been reluctant to predict the death of a loved one, but in this lady’s case, I was strongly impressed to give the information. That was before I knew that I was being prepared and evaluated by an inner plane group who already was working through me as a personal and business psychic consultant.

Apart from situations such as that, there is a category of client, usually a woman but sometimes a man, that wants to be told that their mate will die, hopefully in the near future. Such a client tells me s’he has been told by other psychics that her husband, his wife would die soon. And release them from a relationship s’he suffered and wished to be free from. The latter, of course, went unspoken. The pattern is an old one but it was new to me as a beginning psychic analyst and consultant. In one notable case, the man who desperately wished to be freed from his wife was the one to come down with a dread disease and almost died during surgery. His chronically ill wife remained fairly strong and showed no signs of dying anytime soon. Such ironies can be darkly humorous.
