PSYCHIC PHENOMENA
Psychic, or Psi, abilities are generally considered to exit in everyone
by most parapsychologists today. It has further been suggested that if
one can learn to recognize these inate talents, they can be developed
and effectively utilized in everyday situations.
Psychic (psi) experiences have been reported throughout history and
across all cultures. These experiences, labeled telepathy, clairvoyance,
remote viewing, precognition, and psychokinesis, suggest the presence
of a deep interconnectedness among people, objects and events. While
the label "psychic" has not significantly advanced our understanding of
these phenomena, historical persistence of the experiences suggests
that some aspects of our present understanding of consciousness, space
and time may be incomplete, possibly in fundamental ways.
Divination
The practice of acquiring hidden knowledge and insight through the contact
of human intelligence with the supernatural.
Another type of divination involves interpretation of natural phenomena.
In antiquity, the inspection of animal entrails and the study of bird
activity were common.
Fortune-Telling
The practice of predicting the future through psychic means. Common
forms of fortune-telling include astrology, palmistry, and necromancy
(communication with the spirits of dead people).
The OOBE
(out of body experience) is a real time projection close to the
physical world. This often occurs as part of a near death experience.
This is where a person is knocked out of their body as a result of some
kind of severe trauma, i.e. car accident, surgery, heart attack, child
birth etc. OOBE'ers are aware of things happening in the real world,
in real time; such as conversations and events centred around, or near
to, their physical body. In many cases, these events and conversations
are accurately reported by the person after they have returned to
their body.
Astral Projection
This is where the astral body is projected into the astral dimension,
where things are quite different from the real world. Time is distorted
and extended, i.e., an hour in the astral can be like a few minutes in
the physical dimension, depending on what part of the astral you are
in. Reality is fluid and changeable.
Extrasensory Perception
(as in telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition) that involves
awareness of information about events external to the self not gained
through the senses and not deducible from previous experience -- called
also ESP.
Telekenisis
The production of motion in objects (as by a spiritualistic medium)
without contact or other physical means.
Teleportation
The act or process of moving an object or person by psychokinesis.
