"For 14 years, Bubba's gifted psychics, astrologers and tarot readers have guided tens of thousands of people just like you. They are experienced, insightful, caring and - above all - professional. They are amazingly accurate and they are available for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Hello Sweet Spirit!
Many of you know legendary psychic Bubba Elmo, the original 'Psychic to the Stars.'
His grandmother taught him how to read tea leaves when he was four years old. Bubba's mom Tallulah taught him psychometry (being able to pick up psychic vibrations from touching an object) when he was seven.
Family friend Mae West taught him clairaudio (to pick up psychic vibrations from listening to a voice) when he was nine.
When Bubba was growing up, he gave psychic messages to neighbors and friends. He appeared on more television shows than any other psychic and has hosted his own television series twice.
Bubba Elmo was the personal reader of Marilyn Monroe and has read for Lucille Ball, Greta Garbo and Whoopi Goldberg, to name only a few of Bubba's famous clientele.
Bubba has appeared on dozens of television and radio shows.
Bubba has written five books and his motto has always been, "Only believe, all things are possible if you only believe."
Each of us has heard some varied version or facsimile of that disturbing type of psychic advertisement, disturbing because phone psychics profess to answer questions about one's love life and one's financial problems while they hold no love in their own hearts for the general public. They steal people's cash in the process of their lies and also steal their hopes of ever getting honest answers.
These people are worse than just liars because they give true psychics a bad name.
They are no more gifted in their psychic powers than your garage mechanic or hair stylist is.
True psychics have suffered as a result of this criminal pollution of the word "psychic" and choose to describe themselves as 'intuitives' and 'sensitives' to avoid the stigma of fake and fraud that phone psychics have lent them.
There are indeed many reputable God loving and devout psychics (E.G. John Edwards, James Van Praagh, Allison Dubois) who are extremely gifted in their abilities to see and read your 'blueprint' (prepared by YOU, in Heaven, before you were born, this lifetime) as well as they are able to speak directly to your passed loved ones who surround you even though they've 'crossed over'.
These psychics relay their most personal and most specific messages of love to you, beyond the grave. Therefore, there are no such things as accidents; "all is written", is literally true.
Even a deja vu, a seemingly inconsequential little moment, a 'bump' in time, is specifically placed in our blueprints to let us know that for the moment, we are on our chosen, planned spiritual path.
Many Christians use the bible's 'guidance' to paint these bonafide and most intuitive psychically gifted people whose gifts are absolutely God given with the same punitive brush and the same broad dismissive stroke given to the many pedestrian psychic charlatans who do admittedly abound.
But this is a terrible mistake.
These fundamentalist Christians are Jewish Old Testament Bible thumpers when it comes to knowing about and approaching the gifts of reputable psychics.
When these Christians are asked to seek modern day solutions to questions about the validity of reputable psychics or even asked how they feel about reputable psychics, they thump the ancient Old Testament written 5000 years ago by ancient Jews.
E.G.:Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (New International Version)
10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in [a] the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you.
Isaiah 8:19-22 (New International Version)
19 When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom, and they will be thrust into utter darkness.
Christianity is the branch and Judaism is the original tree that it comes from.
Most Jews today know and admit openly that Deuteronomy is filled with worse than ridiculous ancient Hebrew laws and many even sillier ancient Hebrew prohibitive restrictions which enlightened Jews( and my Conservative Congregation of Temple Torah feels the same way) now take with a liberal grain of salt.
Isaiah was, in Jew's opinions, ( how do I say this gently?) just plain loco nuts.
If he preached that self same negative mad lingo of death and destruction at God's all loving hands on a street corner today he'd be carted off and surely given thorazine in some emergency room.
My congregation of Jews are Conservative Jews who take their Old Testament Bible just like Greeks do with Zeus, with a grain of salt but we still nonetheless conduct services in the ancient Hebrew language.
If the Jews who originally wrote these passages can see "the light', today in their synagogues of worship, about how these ancient 'laws' are now seen as somewhat goofy and hardly applicable to modern day enlightened Jewish thought, why doesn't the enlightened tree sap reach the branch offshoot(Christianity) as well?
Jesus was after all, NOT Christian, but lived his life as a Jew and died as a Jew.
He angered the Bible thumper Jews back then by breaking many so called laws (E.G. by assisting someone's work on the Sabbath) as He always insisted, to the chagrin of ancient Jews, on the spirit of the law, not just the letter of the law.
("
Sun worship is fairly simple. There's no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry, no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don't have a special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing. And the best thing about the sun, it never tells me I'm unworthy. Doesn't tell me I'm a bad person who needs to be saved. Hasn't said an unkind word. Treats me fine. So, I worship the sun. But, I don't pray to the sun. Know why? I wouldn't presume on our friendship. It's not polite."
George Carlin)
As a rare Jew who has found the Christ light, I feel aligned with Him in this enlightened regard.
Seeing fundamentalist Christians quoting the Old testament and embracing Christ at the same time can be a painful contradiction to us Jews.
You will NEVER hear Jews from the pulpit quote from the little slim addendum that Christians call a bible, The New Testament, because it's NOT our book and we'd get it all wrong.
So too Christians should not quote from the Old Testament because it's not THEIR book and they almost always get it wrong.
Fundamentalist Christians get the unshakeable firm conviction that psychics are evil in God's eyes and that nobody should intercede between us and God, but Jesus.
Catholics to the contrary believe as do many Jews that most elevated Saints, holy personal angels, spirit helpers and spirit guides are always there for that exact purpose, to intercede for us, between us and God.
Reputable psychics whose gifts are God given are there for the same reason.
In the Letters of Paul, the spirit of prophesy is encouraged and made sacred.
This is another reference about the source of our gifts
1 corinthians 12:4-11
1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
There must be another way for Christians, as the branch, to approach rational thought about all issues concerning God, just as Jews, as the tree, have managed to think about God without all the written ancient man made laws surrounding Him.
Psychic powers are real and abound in many gifted people and are a perfect conduit to seek information about our lives, past and future as well as to communicate with the not so dead family members who still love us.
There is no way to argue or reason with people, who when asked to meaningfully think about something, quote the bible and thus end all reasonable arguments and all meaningful conversations.
To quote a friend; "Nowadays, it would seem that many Christians are trying to return to the ways of the Old Testament that Christ came to save us from; As a Jew, it is confusing and frustrating, indeed."
