			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone has some psychic talent, we only need to be guided.<br />
But we all have the power to communicate with thought. Consider how Google appears to know what you are thinking, consciously or otherwise, as it suggests search-phrases after you have typed only the first few letters, morphing it&#8217;s guesses at each additional letter. Or the advertisements on the webpages that begin to appear eerily similar to the article you are browsing. Of course we are only seeing the most probable match from a data-base of possible results, but even if only the outcome of pattern-recognition software the effect is extra-sensory.<br />
The phenomena of eliciting a narrow and predictable range of reactions through asking a few general questions to a large audience is called the Barnum effect. As in the circus. Something anyone can use to impress their friends or get laid. Some people can do it naturally, some use props or acts like reading palms or crystals or chicken bones or tea leaves or whatever little trick is useful for covertly collecting the data samples that will permit the cold-reader to reveal some secret hidden within the psyche of the client. &#8220;Cold-reading&#8221; is a common magic technique used by clairvoyants, psychic-guides, fortune-tellers, mentalists, and psychiatrists.<br />
More recently our interactivity with machines provides countless opportunities for data-collection;  browsing patterns, hand/eye-movements, search-phrases, every input adding to an ever expanding data-base of emotional &#8220;hits&#8221; to be used for cold-readings that will provide us with the tailor-made spiritual guidance and personal validation we crave.<br />
Cold-readings are the antidote to cosmic-loneliness.</p>
