Predicting Death


First let me state that I am a human being.  I am fallible.  I am very good at what I do, but I am not always correct.  My accuracy rate is approximately 90%, with some variance depending on the day.

One of the ethical problems facing modern psychics is whether or not to predict death.  Lately with the 'think only happy thoughts' paradigm and the overemphasis of the Law of Attraction, predicting death has become taboo.  It doesn't help that some unscrupulous fortune tellers of the past have used death predictions to manipulate the credulous out of incredible amounts of money.

Death, like Life, comes to us all.  It is a defining part of our very nature.  Life and death are actually just two sides of the same coin, the same cycle, the same whole.  Our individuality continues after the transition we call death.  I can assure you, dear reader, your consciousness will continue, and you will be the same individual after death you were at the time of transition.

Let me make one important statement regarding life and death: it is far easier to grow, change and improve here in life then it is in death.  It's not that we cannot grow and change in the invisible world, but it requires much more work and takes much longer to accomplish.  Now is our time to work and improve, in mortality.

My ex-wife made reference yesterday to a few conversations we had had over the past six months regarding a young newlywed couple that she is friends with.  When she first told me that her co-worker was getting married, I immediately got psychic data about impeding death.  However, I didn't feel it was my place to say anything, so I made an offhand comment that my ex-wife did not pick up on that, "things aren't going to go that smoothly."

A few months ago my ex-wife, Rebecca, made reference again to how the newlywed husband had taken ill and been hospitalized.  She stated that the doctors thought he might have Leukemia.  Now, if it's one thing I hate, it's unwanted advice.  But I could tell that my ex-wife wanted to know what I saw.   I always find it ironic when Rebecca wants to know what I see with my psychic vision considering how many times she fought me on my predictions when we were married!

Of course, the moment she mentioned Leukemia, I was already tapping in.  After all, that's what I do; I'm a psychic.  So I asked her, "Do you want to know if he's going to make it?"

She paused for a few seconds and finally said, "Yes."

I told her, "No, he will go back and forth for a while and pass away in about six months."

After about a week, she mentioned to me that her friend had been released from the hospital and the doctors had found nothing wrong with him after all.  She seemed genuinely pleased to prove me wrong.  I scanned him again.  Still picked up cancer or something seriously wrong with the blood.  Still got death.  So I said, "Well, I don't know what to tell you.  I'm still getting the same thing," and let it go.

The day before Thanksgiving, she mentioned to me that she needed me to watch the kids over the Thanksgiving holiday, on Friday specifically, because she had to deliver a care package to her friend, who was again, hospitalized.  When I inquired as to what was going on, she said, "They don't know what's wrong with him, but they are pretty sure it's not Leukemia.  It's his platelet levels that are down now, not his white blood cells.  But me and some of the girls from work are going to swing by and deliver a care package for him and his wife."

No, I did not say 'told you so.'  When you are dealing with someone who has selective precognition syndrome, it does no good to argue with them.

This morning she told me that they are releasing her friend from the hospital so he can get his platelet levels up and they are going to remove his spleen in the next few weeks.  I couldn't help but think that the treatment for this poor guy just keeps getting more and more complex.

I researched a little about Leukemia this morning and discovered that it's actually a broad term covering a spectrum of diseases.  In turn, it is part of the even broader group of diseases affecting the blood, bone marrow and lymphoid system.  So, in truth, the ex-wife's friend probably has one of the rarer types of Leukemia.

Now, again, I am not always correct.  But I was correct predicting my ex-wife's cancer four and a half years before she got it, in 2006.  I didn't necessarily feel she had to pass away early in life, so I encouraged her to take better care of herself.  She didn't listen.  She did, however, finally start listening when she found the tumors.  Luckily, so did her her very intuitive Oncologist.  She just passed her five year cancer free mark.

Is a prediction of death always fatal?  Absolutely not.  In many cases this data comes up as a warning.  It's a warning to change directions and make better choices, as it was with my ex-wife.

So, dear reader, what do you think?  Is it ethical for a psychic to predict death?  Should a psychic only predict death when it can be avoided?  Can this precognitive knowledge help us deal better with daily life?  Please respond in the comment section below.

Thats a good question.  I think the answer lies in whether or not the individual you are making the prediction to can actually handle the answer. So the answer is, it depends on who is asking the question and their ability to handle the truth as well as the readers ability to ascertain their state of mind.  You also brought up another topic when you wrote,  "Lately with the 'think only happy thoughts' paradigm and the overemphasis of the Law of Attraction, predicting death has become taboo." Not only predicting death, but predicting anything that that is less than ideal or perfet. Life is about lightness and darkness.  In life we will all experience both, and this is what many seekers of readings, and others fail to acknowledge.  No one is exempt--from both.

Thank you, Leslie.  I appreciate your reflective answer.

I have obviously debated this point with myself; should I reveal death data if it could save the person's life, regardless of whether or not they could handle it.

The Light and Dark aspects of life is a good topic!  I think you just gave me the inspiration for my next blog!  :-)  Thank you.

Very interesting question. I never considered it before because I just thought it was an unwritten rule that it is never done. I agree with Leslie that it probably depends on your perception of whether the person can handle it, but in most cases I don't think they would believe it if the information were unsolicited. We are all pretty good at justifying what we want/don't want to believe.

Hi Eskridtc,

I agree.  I think all of us are too good at justification.

In my 40 years reading the tarot the Death card has indicated genuine death of the body only twice.  I do believe it is very important  to not sow negative seeds that can harm the querant.  a friend had a reading in India and the reader said "... and you will die at 58"  Horrible seed that one.  I find it is important to help the client  phrase the question in a way that will yield the most beneficial  information.  Know when you will die?  not that useful.

I have found that "death" is the Universe's great secret. I do not answer people when they ask when someone is going to die. To me that is totally unethical. I don't even ask the question to my sources. That being said, if the Universe tells us about a death without us asking, I believe there is a reason for that. It may be so that a fence can be mended, or a person can get things together in some way that needs to be done. So to me, if the message is sent on so secret a subject, it is important to delicately and professionally pass it on. This may be as simple as saying "Have you talked to Uncle Bob lately?".

As a client, and not being a reader, I would definitely want to know of impending death if I was supposed to know so I could take action to improve my health, avoid a certain route on a particular day, etc. I would feel that if my reader received that message, then I was meant to know.

What an excellent post!  I have debated about this topic for many years and I don't think we truly should divulge the fact that we may see "death" is imminent for someone however I have done it in my career and I have not been right a couple of times.  I have seen clients at "death's door" so to speak and have witnessed miraculous intervention so as a psychic we all know that the future is not laid in concrete and things can change in a heartbeat I prefer not to let anyone know about death.  The times I have been incorrect was with a friend and her elderly Aunt and Mother.  The Aunt continues on and it has been about two years.  She goes back and forth between the veil but remains here.  I usually see transition to the other side soon after the person starts moving from this side to visiting with loved ones on the other side.  With this women she just lingers here as if she has something important she must do.  I was very sorry that I let my client know that it looked as if death was coming soon for it has not been easy to care for this women.  

I usually make it a rule to "not do death" under any circumstances but I waiver some and if the person needs to prepare then I will offer some assistance.

Like you James I do see illness within the body but I have been privileged to see miracle healings from the Angels also.  I think I will continue to be cautious and not predict death for if you are wrong it can be devastating for the person involved.

Thank you for sharing this insightful blog.

Hi Rosalea,

I think it's incredibly mature of you, as a psychic, to admit when you were wrong. I think that type of clarity helps us learn from our mistakes and makes us better intuitives in the long run.

I would definitely advise caution with death predictions. We must make sure we are 'in-tune' and receive the information many times, before stating anything.

Back to just being wrong as a psychic, John Edward stated that he is a better Psychic Medium because he gives himself permission to be wrong. This attitude, I think, relieves much of the pressure and, ironically, allows a more intuitive flow.

I have noticed that whenever I get apprehensive or worried, my psychic function is suppressed. There is an attentive-detachment that seems to work best for intuitive work.

Thanks for your comment, Rosalea!

Death seems to be near impossible to predict. I dont think that we are suppose to know. We are suppose to treat everyday like it is our last, not waste time, and not take people for granted. I refuse to predict death. People claim that they want to know about death but they really cant handle it.

Yes, I was aware that this issue might bring out some varied responses.

Thanks for your input, Dr. Donna.

Just out of curiosity, Donna, would your attitude be different if the person in question were a family member of yours?

When my son was sick, I called just about every psychic on keen and everyone said he would live. 20 days later he died. It taught me that we are not supposed to know. it would of made things worst for me knowing that my son was going to die. It does not help emotionally at all.I would of not enjoyed him and been able to joke around if I knew he would of passed. I had a perfect relationship with my son so there were no regrets.Some things we are not supposed to know and we need to be ok with it.

# re: Predicting Death @ Sunday, February 26, 2012 2:47 PM

Do you think this blindness about future events involves just death or does this extend to other events?

Are there many things we aren't supposed to know?

And do you think that their are individuals who will never accept any precognitive information? I've heard some people say that if anything can be perceived, it invalidates Free Will.

I don't see it that way. We forecast the weather, stocks, construction times, production times, birth times, etc.

But are some people who seem to believe that any precognitive information beyond the five senses undoes Free Will.

Your thoughts?

Been reading all these posts following your blog post James-very very good info and viewpoints from everyone here!  Good posts!  I want to pose a question though after reading this-and following it?  What about those who have had a REAL Life after Death experiences (NDE*)?  I don't tell many but did had a serioud heart issue years ago-and was 'gone' for 2 days/nights-heart failure Tuesday night 11 PM-and awoke on a Thursday afternoon.  I do know I 'crossed over'-and remembered details later about it-what I 'saw' and felt-a very 'real experience' I struggle to write about.  I personally think most persons cannot 'handle' the death issue--and also there is that 'factor'-of those who may have literally 'seen death' and returned again back to their bodies.  Some things about death in many cases couldn't be 'predicted'-after knowing so many have crossed once-their souls seeing the Spirit World and then having came back again.  Any thoughts of this..?  Love the subject-but as a Reader I personally don't do 'death readings'-as I do feel many SAY they want to know--but days/months later may feel uneasy they'd asked.

I don't think, Moon Maiden, that this blog covers the issue of NDE. Although I've been lucky enough to have Dr. Raymond Moody on my humble little internet radio program.

One does wonder whether NDE could be predicted?

And I agree with you: most people cannot handle the issue of death at all.

James Vitale

# re: Predicting Death @ Saturday, March 24, 2012 6:35 AM

I am really sorry to get off your main topic.  I truly didn't mean to James-it's just that maybe I do equate NDE to 'death' as well in many ways.  Regardless, Thank you for the wonderful topic and death is a mystery I think to all of us.

No worries, Moon Maiden. I appreciate your comments.
