Stirred up/invested/west side
Hi
A certain woman who is a psychic wanted to meet with a certain guy, she liked him and she said: Have I mentioned that a surefire way to knock your intuition out of operation is to get your emotions stirred up? It's impossible to be truly psychic when you are invested in the outcome. .... Miserable, I concentrated on him for several days, telepathically asking him to call ...and nothing. I astral-projected to his West Side loft ... and he wasn't home.
--- I understand that if you get carried away by your emotions it will shut down your intuition.
--- The second sentence means to me that it's impossible to be truly psychic if you focus solely on the result of something (I think she wanted to marry that guy and that's why she focused on him). However I'm not sure if this is what she means by "invested in the outcome"?
--- I'm wondering about "West Side"? I think she says that her astral body travelled to his loft which was located in the west part of the city or maybe which was situated from the west (it was in Chicago).... I'm not sure?
