Nowadays, people live in a high technology world, they consider everything in rational ways. The non-mainstream areas and the psychic and paranormal pursuits address some needs, at least in psychological level, in our life, while the mainstream ones cannot meet them. One of these needs is the attitude to ‘death’ which is a serious and appalling issue. Since the explanation of ‘death’ which is no escaping from the end of a life in scientific world cannot satisfy people’s psychological need and even make them worried and unaccepted in some circumstances, they try to gain some psychic solace in seeking of paranormal principles. 

Another need for the non-mainstream area originate from tension and anxieties when human face the uncertain future or phenomena that still can not be explained by the mainstream science. As we all know, though our science and technology are prevailing and promoted nearly every day, the future is still a untouched topic, on which human can do nothing but brief predict and give some hypothesis. When people turn to astrology, fortune-telling and then firmly believe in what they say, the threshold reason is that these paranormal areas can give them a certain and detailed answer about their future at any time. And the wish ‘catch the future of one’s own’ seems to be accomplished by the pursuit of psychic and paranormal explanations which offer a system to determine one’s whole life.

     With undue pursuits that are not rooted in reasoning and facts, more individual and social problems could be instigated. On personal level, stubborn adherence to paranormal areas could mislead person’s moods and value. For example, a person who believes that he will not be lucky could be very conservative and extremely careful in daily life, which means perhaps he will give up many good chances in the belief that he must avoid potential troubles as many as possible. From social perspectives, blind beliefs in these will bring tremendous consequences which even lead to extreme behaviors.
