Because I tend to be a tad bit "outspoken" I seem to get targeted more than most, when it comes to that handful of pseudo-Einsteins out looking for the ego boost they'd have when stumping the old bear and "proving" him a big fake. . . I guess I'm a victim of my own creation

Crimes, Illness, Catastrophe, etc. are not the provenance of a Psychic per ce. You are looking at Karmic scenarios and only in instances in which some kind of special aid is needed, would any sensitive gain impulse or a connection to such things. I know you've heard of the whole "having to tune in" on the "vibes" and how it's like a radio transmission, it's one of the most common explanations associated with clairvoyance & telepathic type skills. The other element that needs to be added to such scenarios is circumstance itself; I have had situation in which I simply notice something "unique" about a person I see on the streets, the bus or whatever and because of what I see and feel I'm compelled to say something to them that pertains to their immediate future. Hollywood was made this type of thing a common thread in countless films & Tv shows; a psychometric touch of a person in a crowd followed by the psychic getting a flood of images (a Psychic Flash); it's a very real thing and some of the one's I've experienced are down-right gut wrenching. Nonetheless, it still remain a karmic factor; somehow the energy has been shifted and one or the other participants in say, a crime, no longer require that particular experience and so, they are given an option. . . a way by which to avoid it that does not take away from their Free Will.
People get ill and know cataclysm in their lives because of Karmic demands. They likewise know innate skills, understanding and perspective -- "gifts" -- because of karma; it is not a negative or positive, it simply is. It's purpose is to bring about balance and maintain balance in the Universe on all plains. The Rapist from ages long ago will ultimately return as the victim of rape just as an accomplished student of Music will return in life with a penchant towards music and the arts, oft time demonstrate an innate understanding of such things. But Karma likewise affects entire regions, nations, races. . . everything that encompasses the human experience. A look at most family groups will reveal certain common traits that can be tract through multiple generations; all of it a matter of karma tied to that family and frequently, a gender element in a family line; the males in my family being known for horrid fits of depression-anxiety and paranoia. The irony being that I'm the only male member of the two generations tied to my own and my father, that's ever sought professional help. The others tend to lean on a church that simply adds to their lack of self-esteem by telling them they're bad, wrong, etc. (but have hope, Jeez-us will save ya! It will all be better after you die)
Unfortunately "Life" tends to get in the way of things when it comes to how things "ought to be" in our opinion. Especially when it comes to applying "logic" to it all -- there's simply too many things that logic, rationalism and science can't fully explain away either.

The majority of people that do honest work as a Psychic/Medium are not carnally inclined; they are not interested in seeing "gain" through their abilities even though they do accept payment as well as barter or gratuity type exchange. These people are highly spiritual and for that reason they simply don't function in the world in the same way most of us are inclined. This can be a very difficult concept for logic-minded people to wrap their heads around because it does not fit into their reality/logic, and yet there's not a major culture or religious element that doesn't have rather lengthy histories & multiple examples of this very practice, be it shaman or some kind of priest or monk.
Many "sensitives" actually reach a level of being overwhelmed from time to time and MUST step away and frequently go into retreat -- a restpit that will typically involve their getting far away from large populations and even setting camp somewhere deep in the wilderness so they can clear their minds, purge themselves and get grounded. One purpose behind such sabbaticals is to regain focus/purpose and overcome carnal temptation -- that would be when one allows themselves to embrace the commercial and carnal possibilities around things.
Were you aware that the greater Psychic Community views people like VanPraagh, Edward and Brown as "Frauds"? Not for the same reasons you would but because they "sold-out" and started chasing fortune & fame vs. the path of "humility" (as in the positive sense of being humble) and living as a servant of spirit and guide to our fellow beings. Such betrayal is strongly looked down on by those that have a stronger sense of spiritual commitment and focus, and as I've pointed out, it is not something most would be willing to endure in life, nor is it a way of living that most of us can relate to.
No, they do not live by a vow of poverty but rather, a commitment to serve rather than seeking personal gains & glory. Making a living of sorts is not the same thing and you will find that most who fit this particular niche are very low-key when it comes to the vocational side of things, a strong majority of them actually being reluctant to use their abilities as a means of income, doing so only as the result of necessity or circumstance. I for instance, came to the decision to do this work as the result of health issues and the fact that I have no other area skill-wise, by which to amply supplement my income; because of the horrid economy people aren't buying shows and are hesitant to buy a ticket for something that's as high-priced as my programs have to be (due to food & beverage issues) and yet, they are far more willing to pay $50.00 for a Reading. Granted, most do this because they are feeling desperate and uncertain about life and want answers -- hope; their church has failed them as has other such resources but they want some kind of amicable solution.
To coin a phrase, "Ours is a program of attraction, not promotion. . ." and to that point we too choose to distance ourselves from the media. My particular case being a bit unique due to my show-biz background, but with few exceptions I only garner media attention when it comes to deliberate PR stunts and trickery -- show promotions. Even the one or two "psychic" situations I do share, are not used at an extreme but solely as a kind of "mention" tied to my background, such as how I bring up the WTC/9-11 prophecy; an instance in which several sensitives across the country were picking-up on the same general energy, which is why I talk about it; it's not "Mine" exclusively, but a demonstration of "Universal Consciousness" for lack of a better term.
The "Commercial" image or "celebrity" tied to certain psychics is, as I've stated, frowned upon. On the other hand, authorship and doing lectures or workshops isn't just common but part of the calling -- the means by which clarity around what we do and how to cultivate one's awareness and other psi skills, is an extension to our role as teachers & healers -- healers in the sense of spiritual and sometimes emotional levels and in the form of being educators; guides that help people become aware and able to recognize the subliminal.
I really don't know how to better explain these points other than stating that history is rife with examples in which those of a set spiritual conviction, willingly distance themselves in a manner of being "IN the World but not OF the World".
