Four reasons to not be a psychic reader on www.KEEN.com in 2024

 4 Reasons Why You Should Not Be A Reader at KEEN.COM (2024) From a Former Advisor

1. They purposefully are not paying advisors on time. (And for some, at all!)

Advisors are repetitively not getting paid on time, to the point where some have even gone homeless. Their payment processor is faulty, much like their website however they refuse to fix the payment problems and they continuously ignore advisors who are not being paid on time. Direct deposits are consistently late and daily direct deposits are sometimes not even pulled out of the account from the advisor to their bank for several days on end.

There are several overseas advisors who reported going up to 3 months worth of time without getting paid - and some have reported being told that their paper checks were somehow "lost" in the mail and needed to be reissued but they would have to wait an additional month to process it. This is the number one out of the 4 reasons you should not be a reader on keen but also why so many advisors are leaving!

***When Advisors complain about not being paid on time, their listings suddenly need to be "validated" and advisors were removed from the site, and not paid any of the funds they made prior. KEEN doesn't have to give you any valid reason for why they remove you per their rules 3A and 3B.

2. They are charging advisors more money than ever before. 

They are charging advisors ( originally free, then it led to a $75 fee, and now they are charging $100) every single time they wish to participate in any sort of promotional.

The promotional period allows an advisor to lower their rate for their clients, easing the cost for their loyal clients, and yet in order to lower their rate to do so they must pay $100 every time. Originally keen was charging $75 for this event however they have since sent out calendars notifying advisors of when they would run a promotional period, and when they would be able to participate. They have since run four promotional in one month, and if you are an advisor you could end up paying up to $400 that month just to take part in these things. 

They promised advisors the opportunity to make more money, however at the end of the day they end up paying anywhere from $75 to $100 multiple times per week and discounted their original rate on top of it. Many advisors reported that their listings were Inflated in the actual rate per minute, and then they were shown a discounted rate to the consumer, when in fact that was never the cost itself. ( For example an advisor would charge $3.99 per minute for a consumer to connect with them, KEEN would then add on an additional 20% to 25% on top of their original rate, and then make it appear as if it was being discounted to the consumer. They did this while also taking their percentage, leaving an inflated and fake number for the consumer to "feel" like they got a deal. 

3. They are purposefully pushing out older advisors.

With the new investors and new management, came an announcement that they would be increasing the amount that they take from advisors from 60% up to 75% of what an Advisor makes. They announced that they would only do this for new advisors who signed up, and that they would keep the amount the same for older advisors who have been on the site for a while. As people began to voice their concerns about this, suddenly they had "no clients", they had listing issues and their listings would be pulled for "review", and some were just completely closed all together with no explanation. This creates more room for them to take on new advisors who are willing to accept them taking 75% of their pay. 

Although these are only 4 reasons you shouldn't be a reader at keen.com in 2024 , there are several more, and you deserve a place to showcase your gifts and make a difference with your clients, not to be used and abused by a company that has no respect for what you do as an intuitive reader.

4. They don't want real people anymore. They have been actively harvesting how advisors communicate with their clients, including their answer style, to build up an ai website. They are looking to push out the human element of a spiritual reading, in order to make more money. KEEN believes they can remove the advisor and feed a script to a website and AI feature, and then charge a client a monthly membership. For them, they believe it cuts cost and makes things easier. 

This is taken from their community forms prior to them shutting down the ability for advisors to talk to each other freely. They are purposefully harvesting how advisors communicate to clients, with the hope to duplicate it under an AI service that could be charged monthly to a client. Less overhead for them, less fees, and less dealing with people... 

How much does www.KEEN.com pay their psychics?

 Did you know that KEEN.com takes roughly 70%  of what an Advisor makes, on top of charging Advisors for featured listing fees, advertising fees, and even bank payout fees? They are also charging clients $2.99 every time they wish to connect to an Advisor. Whew, it's fees on top of fees over there!  

Check out what advisors were sharing with each other below before they removed the "community fourms" page from their site. 

(Big surprise here, they didn't want advisors communicating with each other about the late payments let alone the issues that they were having with the system, or even sharing with one another outside of the site that the problems within the site itself was actually systematic and preventing them from being able to work at all...)

Advisors were complaining to one another about how the cost of everything to simply offer their services and to help others was through the roof!

Advisors regularly were seeing payments pulled out and never deposited into their account on time, or at all for some.

But it is no secret that the true crime that is taking place over at KEEN, aside from the high fees, is that unfortunately they choose not to pay their advisors at all. There have been multiple reports of advisors who have been stripped of their account (absolutely locked out with no way to obtain their banking or financial details such as tax documents) who did not receive the pay of what was remaining in their account, of their earnings.

www.KEEN.com is replacing human psychics with A.I

KEEN.com is looking to phase out psychic Advisors and instead go to a subscription based model that would allow for "less overhead" and "less of a cost" all around. They truly are looking to remove the human spirit and element from well... spiritual work. Don't believe me, check out below. 

It is interesting that right around this time that this publication went out, they began systematically removing older psychic Advisors and readers from KEEN.com and even doing sudden "checks" on identities and pushing even harder for the photo policy to be enforced. If you didn't comply, had questions, or made a "stink", you were stripped of access to your account and all your information - including tax related documents was gone in a blink of an eye.  They'll do anything to save money and deal with less of us Advisors. 

Psychic Answers: 3 Common Types of Soulmates

Although one person may have several soulmate connections in their lifetime, and even at one point in time, here are 3 (three) types of soulmate connections that are most common and are easily identifiable. It's important to know that not everyone will have these exact soulmate connections however because they are easily identifiable and most common there is an opportunity here for you to share more than one of these common soulmate connections in your own life, or even one that may be upcoming. For a more thorough list of the types of soulmate connections out there, please look at this post here.

1. Romantic Soulmate:

This is perhaps the most commonly found type of soulmate connection, as everyone has a romantic soulmate connection at some point within their life, and for many individuals they carry more than one soulmate connection romantically that a line with bigger spiritual lessons that need to be done for both parties.

One of the most common signs to know of whether or not someone is a romantic soulmate connection is the often immediate and deep connection upon meeting, as if they have known each other for eternity and the deep need to further explore the connection intimately and vulnerably. Romantic soulmates typically have a strong sense of understanding, empathy, and unconditional love for each other, and they may experience a sense of completeness or wholeness in each other's presence.

2. Platonic Soulmate:

Platonic soulmates are not bound by romantic or sexual attraction but share a deep and meaningful connection on a soul level and these are friends who are supportive of you, but also as equally invested in seeing you grow and become the best version of yourself. These connections have a profound sense of understanding, trust, and companionship, and simply put a deep need equally on both sides to support and cheer one another on in life and as bigger milestones are reached for each party.

Platonic soulmates may have a strong intuitive understanding of each other's thoughts and emotions, and they often provide each other with unwavering support, encouragement, and companionship through life's ups and downs. These connections are often cherished as they offer a sense of belonging and acceptance without the complications of romantic entanglements, and these type of connections have a tendency to be lifelong connections once they are established and found, simply because it is without the absence of the romantic side of the connection.

3. Twin Flame Soulmate: ** This one is not always guaranteed for everyone. Please know that just because others may have this "type" of connection, does not mean that you always will.** 

Although a twin flame is a soul coming back and being reunited together as one in a partnership and is between two parties that are meant to explore a specific life purpose and a divine mission, a twin flame soulmate connection comes with the work that a soulmate tends to bring to the surface in that connection with the intention and the focus placed onto growing both parties independently so that they both can carry out their own independent divine missions and purpose.

Individuals may not have a twin flame at all within their lifetime but do carry soulmate connections and for some they do at times carry connections known as a twin flame soulmate which is very similar to a regular twin flame itself but carries the element of growth emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, that tends to come with a soulmate connection - rather than the focus solely on a divine purpose and mission that comes with a twin flame connection. This type of soulmate connection tends to come with a mirroring of each other's strengths, weaknesses, and wounds but of equal "pushing" of one another to grow out of such negative strongholds.

Psychic Answers: List of Different Types of Soulmate Connections

Did you know that a soulmate connection expands far beyond the typical romantic soulmate connection that you may see in movies or even in literature? There are several types of soulmate connections that aren't romantically based, so here we list of different types of soulmates that you may not even know you have!

It is important to know that everyone has a soulmate connection in some capacity, but not everyone has a twin flame connection. It's also important to note that everyone can have multiple soulmate connections at one time!

1. Romantic Soulmate: This connection involves a deep romantic bond, intense chemistry, and mutual understanding. 

(This is one of the most common types of soulmate connections!)

2. Platonic Soulmate: A non-romantic connection marked by profound friendship, shared values, and unwavering support. 

(Think of when you hear the term soul sister!)

3. Karmic Soulmate: This connection is rooted in past-life experiences, often characterized by challenging lessons and personal growth.

4. Twin Flame: Considered the other half of one's soul, this connection involves intense energy, mirroring, and spiritual growth. 

(Please note: although everyone has a soulmate not everyone has a twin flame!)

5. Teacher/Mentor Soulmate: A guiding connection focused on personal or spiritual development, offering wisdom, guidance, and enlightenment. 

(Some teachers, mentors, leaders, and even bosses who you have connected with over time may have a spiritual component there that makes it very easy for you to learn from them let alone to be taken under their wing.)

6. Creative Soulmate: A connection centered around artistic or creative endeavors, inspiring and motivating each other's artistic expression. 

(Many times when you are pursuing a passionate and creative endeavor and you come across someone who shares that same vision but you also understand how they move in terms of their energy as well as their creative pursuits, this overlaps into a spiritual and soulmate connection given that the both of you understand one another on a completely different level than most would understand.)

7. Cosmic Soulmate: A connection transcending time and space, often involving a deep spiritual resonance and shared purpose. 

(There is a common belief in the psychic as well as spiritual working world that some soulmate connections can be not necessarily romantic and not necessarily platonic but really aligning with a cosmic and soul-related mission and two individuals coming together in that state of alignment for what they both are called to do. Think of this as a working soul mission and you finding a partner that is meant to help you work on that calling and purpose.)

8. Animal/Pet Soulmate: A deep bond with an animal companion, offering unconditional love, companionship, and spiritual connection. 

(Although many may not recognize a pet soulmate to be a true and very real thing, it is one that is very common for millions in the world and is so easily overlooked, but there are animals that are divinely destined to come into your life, and crosses your path and enters your world for a reason!)

Psychic answers; Are tarot cards demonic?

Psychic answers; Are tarot cards against God? Are tarot cards demonic?

This is such a common question that is always asked by skeptics and by those that are firm believers in the Lord but are also scared about their salvation because of these pieces of plastic, and we find it so troubling that so many firm believers in Christ are afraid that their salvation as well as their relationship with the Lord is jeopardized just because of this. We are here to announce firmly and wholeheartedly that you will not lose your salvation over these pieces of plastic!

We have been asked this so many times over the years about whether or not the depictions that are on tarot cards, that are used on angel cards, oracle cards, etc are against God -  many times because people are afraid that they are going against God by looking at such images or choosing to use them in a way that might help them in terms of their gift of prophecy or even in the terms of being able to feel good about themselves because of the messages that come through, and the plain and honest answer is that it is not necessarily against God and it's not necessarily demonic, BUT ( and this is a very BIG BUT) you have to check your intention as well as your reason and your purpose behind even picking up these tools.

We always suggest that if you are using such a tool or such an item as a replacement for God and as a replacement for your relationship with Jesus, that you have inadvertently made them an idol and with that have fallen down a path that unfortunately can really create a codependence on what these pieces of paper and plastic say.  Looking at tarot cards, angel cards, oracle cards or anything else as a means to connect to God and to connect to messages that come through is not against the Lord, and is not against God, but it always comes down to your intention and where your heart is placed. 

If you are looking to use such a means as a way to figure out how to bring harm or hurt to someone, or even how to get ahead in a way that is unsavory and wrong ( like to scare someone, or to make quick cash) , there is no way that this would align with God. Much like if you were using it to purposely hurt someone here in this realm, by pretending to connect to somebody on the other side, that does not align with God either. 

But if you are using it to find out what God has to say to you, if you're using it as a way to decipher what messages you have been receiving or what messages you may have come across, or if you're using it in a way to double check the insight and the information you personally feel you have gotten from the Lord, there is nothing against that -  especially when it comes to the realm of prophesying and the gift of prophecy itself. 

The only thing that we can express to you if you are using tarot cards, oracle cards, or angel cards, is to check your motive and to check where your heart is as well as where your trust is placed, because although these tools can be used as a way to decipher and to gain clarity and to gain information that would otherwise not necessarily come through in other ways, but it is just that - a tool.

Here are some ways to know that you are using these tools unwisely...

If you're using it with such blind trust that you no longer trust in the Lord, you have missed the mark. 

If you're using it in such a way that you go to your cards first rather than prayer or affirmations, or even a conversation with the Lord, you have missed the mark. 

If you look at your cards as a way to become a version of God, you have missed the mark. 

It comes down to your intention, it comes down to where your heart is, and it comes down to the why behind why you are using such tools to begin with and if you really have any business doing so, specifically if you have a gift that you are actually harnessing and utilizing or if you are toying around and unfortunately falling into a pattern of dependency on them.

The final say...

You must always remember that these pieces of plastic, these pieces of wood and these tools themselves do not replace your relationship with your creator, and if you choose to idolize them in a way that pushes them as the source of everything for you and the source of all knowledge and the source of all guidance, you are using it for the wrong reasons and unfortunately are going down a very challenging and painful path - and that is what opens the door to things becoming demonic or even used in a way that is possibly evil.

Psychic answers; Is sage biblical?

Psychic answers: Is sage biblical?

There are several different scents and incenses that are mentioned in the Bible and were used throughout the time that Jesus was here; there is nothing unbiblical about using sage to clear a space especially when you are bringing in and inviting the presence of Jesus as well as God into that particular space or home - and there is nothing demonic or evil about these scents in general.

Think of it as you blessing a home, blessing someone, or even choosing to perform a prayer over someone, the sage itself is not the vessel that conducts the prayer or replaces God; it is just something that is used in addition and helps to connect to the Lord but also to create an environment that is friendly and open energetically for Him, but also so very clearly outlines your intention on what you are trying to do in that moment.

There is nothing that is against God by using sage much like there is nothing against God by using myrrh or frankincense!

Remember, the scent itself used in the action of blessing a home or saging a space and inviting the lord and for protection or peace, is not a replacement for God and your own independent relationship with Him, but it's also not an act against the Lord. If anything it is a beautiful request that you are leaning on him to complete that blessing and to be present as you are trying to clear a home, clear negative energy, or even to ask for protection.

Psychic answers; Do psychics need to touch you?

Psychic answers; "Do psychics need to touch you?"

Much like a therapist may want you to lay in a chair or put your feet up and be comfortable, an advisor or intuitive reader may want you to sit in a particular position, or put your hands in a certain manner or touch their hands or touch deck of cards, these are things that you need to ask as well as question in advance to ensure that you feel a sense of privacy but also a sense of comfort in the middle of your session. A seasoned advisor and someone who is properly trained and who is serious about your well-being will also offer that information up front and explain to you the beginning as well as the ongoing process of how they're reading works, they would not spring on you something that is abrupt, sudden, or uncomfortable - that is not a serious or real reader. 

When you are receiving any sort of spiritual counseling, coaching, intuitive guidance, or a psychic reading, your first and most immediate priority is your comfort and safety.  You do not need to sit in on a session where you have to be touched, or be in a place where your hands need to be held or cupped, or even needing to have your shoulders touched, etc. These are not required elements.  It is important to know that every advisor is different and some advisors do ask to touch your hands or to have you touch a deck of cards and things of that nature in order to get a sense of your energy and in order to connect to you, but prior to your session these things should be outlined to you and because of that you have the ability to pick and choose if you want to proceed with that session. 

To clarify beyond that, there are some readers that perform reiki healing, and that itself does require light touch but it is nothing to the extent of you feeling that you are being violated in terms of your personal space.  If you are uncomfortable with the aspect or the possibility of an advisor wanting to touch your hands or hold your hands or even touch you in general and invading your space, we greatly encourage you to look into a phone, chat, or email advisor that is at a distance remotely that way you can connect with them in the space of your own home, or special and  private sanctuary instead.  

Those who are gifted have the ability many times more often than not to connect to you even remotely, so you would be able to find an advisor even at a physical distance making it to where the possibility of you having to be touched is removed altogether.  As always, if an advisor or intuitive reader makes you uncomfortable or you immediately sense something that is off it is encouraged to leave as you need to stand firm on what you feel most comfortable with!

Psychic Answers; Is there a thing as burning too much sage?

Psychic answers: "Is there a thing such as burning too much sage?"

Absolutely, there is such a thing as using too much sage. We truly believe that sage has an incredible power and place in the psychic and spiritual community to clear the air and to bless space and to help in your meditation, affirmation, and even prayer practices, but it does not replace the intention behind it as well as the purpose for why you are trying to clear a space to begin with; and you can easily end up using far too much sage, and using it far too often!

You can easily end up becoming quite dependent on constantly saging a space with the hope of getting rid of whatever is lingering, but if you don't get rid of the source of it and you don't do it correctly the first several times, it is encouraged to look deeper beyond that.  You can absolutely over sage a home, to the point where you can choke yourself out so to speak from the smell of it and even get to a point where you are constantly burning it with the hope of protecting or creating a safe sanctuary, but actually creating more anxiety in the process.

If you find yourself constantly staging your home, a particular walkway or space, or even your sanctuary, you may need to look deeper beyond the veil, and figure out if there is something that is actually lingering in terms of energy or even an entity that is a problem, or if perhaps someone or something is bringing energy into this space consistently putting you in a position where you feel uncomfortable energetically.  You would also be encouraged to even look at how you are responding to the space, if you perhaps are bringing in a heightened energy that is actually manifesting feelings of uneasiness and in turn causing you to rely so much on sage.

Over to you: What do you think? Do you sometimes find yourself reaching for the sage a bit too much these days?

Psychic answers; what is the purpose of sage?

 

Have you ever found yourself wondering what the purpose of sage is for a psychic medium, advisor or spiritual coach? Or wondering why they always seem to need to burn it?

Sage is a great way to clear the energy within your home or space, especially if you are conducting any sort of spiritual work throughout the day!

Many years back we had multiple maintenance workers, managers, a landlord and the landlord's assistant, and even a flooring company come into our home in a matter of hours, it was busy! To add injury to insult, we also had multiple amazon packages being dropped off at the same time, and it was bustling with energy to the extent where at the end of it all when we finally had a moment of quiet and peace, we all felt very on edge and very uncomfortable energetically.  Something just felt "off", we couldn't quite figure out what it was aside from the massive amount of energetic activity and people coming and going but also different items coming into our home that were touched by other people. This is not to say that they have bad energy but whatever they were going through throughout the day really just followed them and with that followed them into our home! This is why we encourage people when they are saging to do it after packages are delivered, after maintenance workers and those that are helping you come into your home, have left. This is again absolutely not a hit at anybody for their energy or  what they might be going through, or what they might be feeling, but it is such a strong force that can easily take over a space and can ruin a feeling of peace and a feeling of balance, especially if you don't know where it's coming from.

There is a tendency to really pick up and to bring on and to bring into your space a lot of energy from outside sources,  for example if you think about packages that are delivered, people who come in and out of your home or your work environment, or even people that happen to just be in passing who are coming into conduct work within your space -  they all carry energy that can very well end up sticking so to speak in your home or space. 

Taking a bit of time out from your day to pray over your home and space and with that utilizing sage, can allow you the opportunity to really clear the space and clear the energy, but also to revitalize that energy and come back to a place of balance.  It is important to know that burning sage is not the only method in terms of clearing the energy or air of a space that you feel may be  heavy from someone else's energy, you can definitely use incense and other scents to try to clear the space itself, but the intention behind the sage and really taking that time to smudge and to clear the air itself goes a long way.   

It is recommended that if the space is quite heavy with other individuals energy or something that's heavy that is causing you to feel uncomfortable, anxiety-ridden, or uneasy, that you definitely burn enough sage to create quite a bit of  smoke and with that going from corner to corner of the space itself, so think about all the nooks and crannies of the apartment, the home, the  office space, things of that nature. It is also encouraged that you definitely smudge more heavily around windows and doors, as that is an opening and in a sense a gateway for energy to come through.  We greatly encourage that if you are saging your home or office space that you are putting in the time to pray over what you are doing in the moment of, one of the things that we choose to do when we sage is to invite God and Jesus's presence into this space as we are saging.  

For example you can very well speak out loud and affirmation such as:

"Dear lord bless the space, protect those that come in and out, remove any negative energy, remove any harm, keep the space clean and clear,” or even “ Lord Jesus, we invite you into the space, please let your presence be known.” 

You can say these things or whatever feels right and in alignment with your desire to clear the space as you are walking around and saging.  It is important to know that in modern spirituality and with the way the psychic community has unfolded, it is firmly believed that doing this practice, specifically saging and smudging a space but also incorporating a different elements such as white feathers, and sea salt, is effective as it pertains to keeping negative energy out.  However, if you do not have any other means aside from sage, that is more than enough to change the energy of your space.  The beauty of it besides the smell and how compact is sage bunch is, is that you can sage actively throughout the day, you can even sage a particular person or element within your home or space that you find to be a little bit more heavier energetically, and you can even sage those fur babies that live within your home too, as they tend to pick up energy as well. 

As long as your intention as you are saging is positive and is coming from a position of trying to clear the air and to invite a higher presence in it, specifically Jesus, if not source, you are definitely in good hands!
