Wanting to Believe - Psychic Thoughts

I had to write about my friend's blog regarding her psychic experience.  The lovely Sarah has an interesting blog site and this morning she commented on the supernatural.  I know a lot of people who are intrigued by extrasensory perception,  myself included. There are probably a ton of reasons ranging from curiosity about the unknown (similar to reading the last chapter of the book as soon as you get it) to abdication of responsibility (if this is going to happen I really can't do anything different).

I am not sure where I fall within this spectrum but hope its more toward curiosity.  Actually I really want to believe but don't.  I would consider myself an existentialist and therefore believe that I control my own destiny.  There is not predestination or defined path for me.  So if that's true how can you tell me the future?  Ghost reading or spirit contact?  No interest in hearing what ghosts have to say as the thought scares me to tears which is a dilemma for me because I am scared of something I don't believe it.  

I do think some people are more perceptive then others and maybe even have such accurate sensory skills that they can pick up on clues that others cannot.  I think it is close minded to completely dispute any heighten perception, but the charlatans have made it a money making joke. But that is as far as I can go logically.

Wouldn't it be nice to pretend there is some better power out there?  To have a psychic who knows what will happen and can direct you or guide you?  No longer do I have to worry about family, health, money or success because my psychic has it all figured out!
