But then the stories began to create themselves (or so it felt). It wasn't as if I were reaching for a connection between the cards and the person being read, it was like the person's story (or answer to their question) became clear to me, like I was merely reporting, not creating.
At some point I became so confident in what I said and the people I was reading said I hit it so squarely on the head ... that I got spooked and backed off. I figured either it was the power of suggestion (which is creepy, kind of like a con game) or I was in fact getting a real insight into their private lives via the cards. Either way, it felt uncomfortable.

You must have looked into the various theories of where the info comes from. (I used to read about it in books, & grill people in the know, but now of course there's the internet, including parapsychical research.) Where do you feel you were getting the info? And what theories do you think are most likely?
