Is there a minor or major difference between a "psychic," "mystic," and an "oracle"? If so, then please fill me in on it. And is it possible for a person to be classified as all three?
An oracle stands alone , then along comes a mystical bird to dance for the oracle's blessing , and the psychic may witness this . Write freely .
You can be a psychic or a mystic and not be an oracle. An oracle speaks with the voice of God, omniscient. Mystics really just hold a belief. Oracles are psychic, but not all psychics are oracles.
Either the mystic or the psychic could be sporting a recognizable and traditional costume . Don't know how an oracle might be recognized - it could be the oracle personae is disper- sed among the many and anonymous , like a child might in a moment speak with power and truth .
My teacher's teacher was described as a mystic , an old-time magic man . They met in 1916 in Austria when my teacher was 5 yrs old and playing in a park . The man was ' a mysterious stranger in a star-strewn mantle '. Little Johnny received a wisdom of old , old language that is always new , new . After telling his parents of his new and exciting enlightenment as well his commitment to it , they sent him to a psychiatrist . Long before I learned of any of this I too visited a psychiatrist , just randomly dropped into the doctors office for 5 minutes . There was no charge . He told me there is nothing more to this life than work , play and family - so get to it young man and quit worrying the world of idea . I would've paid him 5 sense .
I myself am all three. It is difficult, as tikoo explained. Few people have any appreciation for the mystic, and they're terrified of the oracle. It's a growing experience as well. It is difficult to maintain one's own sanity who has seen beyond the veil, and then they end up putting you on drugs, which stymies the lifestyle that you love. We are truly victims in the modern era.
Then I am none by those definitions. i was going by TY's. I don't think anyone can put a label on what i am.....
Should your community have sent you forth into the beyond to learn and be changed then you may be a prophet . They will hope you return to help them . In the balance though , their prophet may have become too strange . "too strange" is a label . The honest soul will not seek it or avoid it .
psychic refers to having psionic abilities, such as telepathy, psionically enhanced empathy, mental communication with non-humans, and so on. mystic is someone who partially through their beliefs, creates an aura that partially conceals their true identity. oracal is someone consulted for their predictions. this is the only term of those mentioned, directly concerned with predictions or making them.
Oracle may define itself exactly . And this may only be discovered by asking the Oracle . What are you , Oracle ? If your Dictionary were an Oracle , ha! , it may answer you : dikt shun err eee ; " I am the book you are reading " . Furthermore , its language would also be self-defining . English , for one , cannot linguistically do that . So my English Dictionary describes the Oracle as non-existent , past , dead , useless . This message relates to my consultation with an Oracle .
