photos IaulDorscy Maggie Hannah and Michael llollelt Rude nonbelievers annoy area clairvoyant By MAGGIE HANNAH Herald stall writer There was a time when people who could see the future had to be careful In cose they were labelled witches and burned Altitudes have changed somewhat but those with that extra special intuition face prejudice and weird looks from sceptics This rudeness is what Irri tales local psychic Jessie Zuest most about People that don believe In psychic powers then he tell them some thing she knows he How dare they have an opinion when they haven 1 any knowledge on the subject at all she says If they said they dldn know anything a bout it and showed an interest In something mm at all Out to say they don believe and then expect me to do my party tricks to convince them Her eyes snap and you forget that she is a softspoken shy person NOIIVALFAIIM Mrs grew up on a farm just below Nerval Her father believed In hard v ark she says and since the eldest three children In her family were girls It meant they had I we resented some of the other girls in school who l have to go out and do the things we did she chuckles II was good for us though Hard work never hurl us and we learned a lot that way She always had ability to see things before they happen and to feel when someone was facing an illness II was she took for and assumed that others saw and fell the same things she did When was about 15 she became interested in the mind and how it worked That was when she started reading and became Increasingly aware of her psychic gift In 1970 a group of women including Mrs and herself set up a small group In Milton holding private meditation sessions in a home each week Another member of the group heard about a mind awareness course being offered in Brampton and per Mrs Zuest to go toil to keep her company I agreed to go but I wasn t going to sign up to take the course smiles When I walked through the door I knew I had to join That was the beginning of becoming a professional chic Since time she work cd in Brampton and Burlington with the well known psychic Smith in Psychic Quest She has also done warm up spots In psychic shows both Tor Geraldlne and for British psychic Simon Alexander WEEKLY MEETINGS Ail the while she kept up her own development by attending weekly meetings a few psychics who get together to meditate Now lhat Smith has decided to give up her office in Brampton to head for ihe United States Mrs has moved to work full time at the New Age Centre on Brant Street in Burlington Clients call the centre and book a lime for a reading Mrs finds the one problem she encounters over and over again Is corruption Clients come in looking for guidance wilh a problem and all too frequently sees the Mafia or some similar group behind the situation Iftheclicntisfemale and her husband Is the lion the group she finds it very difficult warn the woman because it is probable she wouldn believe what she is told If client is a male asking for a business reading she is equally hampered since he wouldn 1 admit criminal connections even if she Ihem It very disillusioning she says The corruption is everywhere People you least expect lo be dishonest turn out lo have the strangest lions It seems to be Increasing all the time It just every where Mrs says that in doing a reading she slips to a deeper and lets her subconscious lime Into the subconscious or her client Thus bits or inform as to what will probably happen in the future may well leave a feeling she has been reading his mind she has although she may not she picked up ftjgifl Jessie Zuest may be professional psychic for Ihe summer She grows all her annuo is from but that t preclude her having many seed and does a lot of canning and preserving for Interests is one of Mrs her family each year Zuests hobbles and she with some of her Herald photo more than large cacti which she sets outdoors That s why readings can only be accurate within a degree she says You know the situation stands thus and these solutions ore possible If things happen at certain limes certain people The catch is whether the right person will be in the right place at the right time so the solution tint seemed most probably will take place But arc so many passible variations on what will happen or who will be involved In any lion lhat we can be totally wrong in we see We can only predict what seems the most logical solution and we can only use what we see in our client s mind VEHY TOLERANT Mrs Zuest says her band Joel is very tolerant of her work He is i intuitu himself she says not interested in gelling involved meditation or awareness Her leenage sons arc also intuitive but arc not doing anything with their talents at present Their interests arc varied and she believes in encouraging them Perhaps la tcr they may want to delve into their minds more deeply t si feels Mrs feels that the mind will be he science of the future Those with know ledge of science and techno logy loll her that more space will be done with the mi id than with mechanical devices second pet peeve after rude sceptics is pessimists People who go about predict ing doom and gloom for man future arc menace she feels future won be so dire is things she says I feel there has to be some thing there but I m keeping an open mind on what it is She feels changes over the coming years will be much more rap thin In the past The ggesl problem she feels will be for our generation to adapt to these rapid changes STRONG I feci very strongly thai well be the problem for our children she Well have emotional problems ad justing all these changes wl see in the next to Ijusthopel won Ibc too much of a problem myself CHEQUE FROM TAMMY Tammy Aggie Kavanagh presented Mary with a cheque for SO which was railed at a recent carnival In support of crippled children The presentation made at the opening of the new facilities or Georgetown Is nurse for one facet of Jessie however and friends and neighbours may well be more aware of her love of gardening She also loves bake Her special pride is her collection present her or so cacti are all out doors raises many of her plants from seed She loves of all sorts however and raises all her innuuls under lights in the basement during spring so they be reidj to set out when the garden is idy She says vehemently hat she s not at ill an Imn type person so she doesn belong lo any community groups although after IS years her home com knows her neigh well Her psychic gift is a natural ability she says and really som tilling weird Most of her foresight In the form of hunches When I was working before 1 was married si soys I d get a fcellnf I should go back and check something As sure as I do it there d be something wrong with it So I not ignore my Mrs Zuest dislikes negative predictions and agree Mrs Smith thai she prefers not to publicize negative things I knew about that air crash in Chicigo she says I have to wonder how much effect negative thoughts have on something like After there been one crash there often another one I have to wonder if a lot of people thinking about something like that can cause the incident lo MIGHT Whether she really believes it or is just afraid it might happen the potential or mak ing a bad thing come true because so many people think It will happen has made dine Smith say many times lhal she will never make live predictions in public Mrs Zuest has done a bcr of television programs on psychic She says that she has not sough great publicity but has instead forced herself to meet people when she was working One of her appear was do predictions for Canada A for 1979 at New Years She was asked on Ihe show because had done a private session for a woman connected with it and the client asked her to appear on televi Despite the fact she is shy and retiring it doesn t seem have held hijr back
