I was looking something up in the city government permits section and there it was an Application for permit to practice Metaphysical Sciences. For a nominal fee I could become a licensed metaphysician! An entirely new career. The possibilities are fascinating.

So what do you get?  A permit to do psychic readings, fortune-telling, ghost-busting, and other weird stuff like that?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I've been considering a new career as an Ancient Astronaut Theorist, but unfortunately I don't think I have the hair for it...

5.56.010 DEFINITIONS.

(a) “Metaphysical science” means any act or practice whereby a person uses or explores the study of the transcendent, the supersensible or the supernatural for the purpose of promoting understanding and development of the human personality; such studies include astrology, tarot, palmistry, numerology, bio-rhythm, graphology, parapsychology, and other similar studies.

(b) “Fortunetelling” means any act or practice whereby a person purports to predict or influence future events through any magic, mystical, supernatural, occult, psychic, extrasensory, or metaphysical techniques.

(c) “For pay” as used in this chapter means for a fee, reward, consideration, donation, offering, loan, remuneration, commercial gain or receipt of anything of value.

(d) “Practitioner” means any person who practices, or engages in the business of, metaphysical science or fortunetelling for pay or who performs any act of metaphysical science or fortunetelling with the intent to obtain money or property of monetary value or any other benefit in connection with such act or practice.

(e) “Client” means a client or customer of a practitioner who receives the practitioner’s services and, in addition, who pays for such services or is the person from whom the practitioner expects to receive money or property in connection with such services.

(Ord. 88-30 § 2 (part), 1988).
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I'm thinking I might approach it as an art project. I believe in transcendance, I am, as you know, like totally supersensible, and I am naturally just super! Aum, om mane padme hum.

For less than $200 bucks too. I could have cards printed up. Buy a lava lamp (I always wanted one of those as a kid). Keep exotic pets like beetles and frogs. And I could write this off as a business expense:

I would have no set fees and take only donations.
