Shaman College Sucks

I believe most "real psychics" -- the ones who feel your pain and care that you're hurting and do it because they, literally, were trying to understand what happened to them, first, and then they get so good at figuring it out
that they could sense, in a NY minute, other people's moods and see, too, how everyone else's personal trains derailed, because they #understand train wrecks

ultimately, somehow someway, find themselves, typically against their wills, too . . . back doored into a "career"
lots and lots of psychics come from dysfunctional families

and if you're constantly in a heightened state of anxiety due to mom or dad or Aunt Pitty Pat's madness, you develop a "Sixth Sense" about how to navigate

and, eventually, you develop super powers

just to survive

broken people break in a million different ways and Humpty Dumpty themselves back together in a million different ways, too

you can be a psychic and not have a fucked up childhood -- although the drive to do it, imo, is somewhat "suspect"
and decide to be an astrologer or other type of "reader" because you think it sounds cool or you (erroneously) think it is easy money

but the next-level types of psychics typically have a disaster or two in their history (maybe more)

You say you want to "be a shaman"?

hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha x 1,000,000

OK

here's some shamanic #truth

Shaman College sucks

and they don't take applications, either; they recruit

psychics live in pain and it is why most psychics want, at some point, to get the fuck out

because pain is the jet fuel to psychic greatness

and that is a formula no one particularly #enjoys
