Mediums and psychics have been around for a long time. Yes, even longer than Sylvia Browne's fossilized nails, which I know is hard to believe. As I sat in my office, I found myself reflecting on some of the psychic greats throughout history: Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus, and most likely a few old hags who lived in caves. As a side note, I am pretty sure the universe knew what it was doing when it sent me to a 21st century middle class neighborhood instead of to some dingy cave decorated by crude rust colored paintings of wolves and other beasts I hope to never encounter. It's not that I couldn't survive in the wild, it's that I don't want to. Alright, that was a lie, I couldn't survive in the wild. As I thought about the different psychics and mediums throughout history I couldn't help but wonder, "What is the difference between the psychics of old and the mediums of lately?" Wardrobe differences aside, it must have been a tough being a psychic or a medium throughout much of history. It's not like Medium or Ghost Whisperer were available on demand during the crusades. Professing to foresee the future, or mentioning that you'd seen a ghost, wasn't just something to be avoided in polite company, it was a choice that could cost you your life. It makes me wonder how many great psychics and mediums existed, but were unable to share their gifts with others because of societal persecution. It saddens me, because I get so much joy from being able to share my gift with others. When I am depressed or feeling isolated because of my intuitive rarity, the knowledge that I am able to make people's lives better provides me with much needed comfort. How many children were shushed into silence by fearful parents or condemned to penance by hateful preachers?It wasn't all that long ago in America that people were institutionalized for being psychic. It's amazing how far we've come even in a few short years. We've gone from throwing people into mental wards to watching psychics and mediums engage in hotly contested debates on split screen on Larry King. Can you imagine Nostradamus debating James Randi on Larry King? I doubt Randi would even be surprised that Nostradamus was still.
