How would you go about sourcing for a seer?
For argument’s sake, blah blah blah, let’s assume that magic and psychic abilities exist, etc.
If you can’t answer within this context, please ignore the question.
If you wanted to find an authentic magician / seer / holy man within the frameworks of your spiritual beliefs, how would you go about it?
Ask your relatives? Word of mouth?

Try temples. The older ones will have contacts of people specializing in these things.

Who in the hec is James Randi and why is he the Self-Proclaimed Psychic Police?
If James Randi is searching for the truth, how come he doesn’t look up Sylvia Brownes’ office in the yellow pages, set up an appointment with her, haul in his psychic testing equipment and shut his yap. Mr. Randi sounds like he has alot to prove, and that he is very eager. I think he’s full of alot of useless wind with nothing to back it up. Step up to the plate Mr. Randi and knock on HER door with your Tarot Card Tester.

She has repeatedly ducked his invitations.
I suspect her psychic abilities let her know she would be exposed if she ever agreed to be tested.

Why don’t you tell that woman to take Randi’s challenge isntead? His foundation offers 1 million dollars to anyone who can prove any paranormal, supernatural or occult practice. Why doesn’t she take the challenge?

I had never heard of her, so I looked her up on Wikipedia, which said:
Critics such as James Randi, with whom she has had a long running feud, say that she is a cold reader whose readings are indistinguishable from those achieved by mentalists using cold and hot reading techniques. Recent press coverage has asserted that she is overall inaccurate. A detailed three-year study of her predictions about 115 missing persons and murder cases, published in Skeptical Inquirer, concluded that despite her repeated claims to be more than 85% correct, “Browne has not even been mostly correct in a single case.”
Impressive!
It also says:
On September 3, 2001, Browne stated on Larry King Live that she would accept the James Randi Educational Foundation’s $ 1,000,000 challenge to demonstrate supernatural abilities in a controlled scientific test. As of 2011, Browne has not taken the test.
Short of Randi kidnapping her and forcing her to participate in an experiment I do not see that there is much he can do about it.
Kid . . . do a bit of research . . . it may prevent you looking silly.
Randi has been sticking it to fakers for decades.
I think he has a million no the table for anyone who can do any woo woo stuff.
NO ONE has collected.

You obviously don’t know much about James Randi. What he is asking for is for people who claim to be psychics to put their so called powers to the test under controlled, scientific conditions. The bottom line is he doesn’t have anything to prove since he is not making extraordinary claims. Regardless, in the past she has said she would allow herself to be tested by Randi but to date she hasn’t followed through.
He will test her anytime she shows up or invites him. The offer has been made. He cannot force her to take his test. You obviously don’t know much.
He’s a quack-buster, which is why quacks like Sylvia are afraid of him!
James Randi is as fraud as many fraud psychics out there. Legitimate psychics aren’t taking his challenge, because they know it’s one big fake meant only to prove them fake – even if they’re not faking anything. The tests designed by Randi are meant to break every single person that tries to prove anything. Randi is a liar, and a cheater, even his million dollar doesn’t exists. If you want to learn details about psychics and researchers that were cheated by Randi, read the articles I have linked as a source.
James Randi is just another celebrity who wants to make a lot of money through being an… a bad person.
James Randi is trying to mix worlds. Working with the spirit world is not at all like doing academic work. Controlled settings only prevent anyone from being able to access their intuitive abilities. It is difficult to explain to those who are firmly anchored in the western civilization’s way of seeing things.
Why does anyone who is intuitive have to prove anything anyway? Why are people so mean about those who are intuitive? While there are some genuine intuitive people out there (Sonia Choquette and John Holland are two with whom I have spoken, but not for a reading), they know they cannot control what they receive in the way of information.
People like Randi just do not understand, and that is alright. I just wish they would live and let live…
