Extrasensory Perception: Sensing with mind
About three in four Americans believe they possess some form of paranormal ability, most popular of which is ESP (Extrasensory Perception) that accounts for 41% of all paranormal beliefs. Are you part of the 75% of Americans with some level of extra sensory perception?
Have you ever been able to seemingly predict that something was going to happen in the future? If not, surely there will be someone else around you who claims to foresee the future, distant objects or something they can’t quite understand or venture to even examine.
Extrasensory Perception (ESP) also known as the “Sixth Sense”
is a sense that is independent of our five basic senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste; in truth, it’s actually a catch all phrase for a series of sense perceived in the mind and through mediums that are separate from our normal senses.
The branch of psychology dealing with ESP is known as parapsychology. The main difference between ESP and other instinctive abilities is that ESP is an instinctive response or action that is not known to be triggered by a physical or chemical stimuli, it’s in the form of mental thoughts that trigger within the mind. Our five senses constantly absorb data or stimuli from our surroundings and our brain constantly processes and organizes this data unconsciously. With respect to Clairvoyance, many people at varying degrees are able to process this apparently irrelevant data and connect little pieces of information together in order to foresee an exact picture of something at a distance; Many of those people, as the Gallup poll points out, have no idea what they are perceiving or assembling. They are just aware of something they cannot quite understand or are fearful of consciously processing and this is often how ESP works.
Telepathy is the art of reading minds of others while Clairvoyance is the capability to predict some distant thing or event. Retro
Cognition is the ability to understand at a distance, happenings or events of the past, while Precognition is the ability to predict future happenings. Psychometric is the ability to guess information about someone or something by touching a physical object and Psychokinesis or Telekinesis is totally opposite to it i.e. psychic ability to influence physical systems without any type of physical interaction.
Not all human beings experience paranormal or at least, they are unaware of the impact it may be having on them. There is also conflict among ESP believers, with some saying that all human beings involuntarily experience it, while others say that only a few possess the special power that allows them to be able to go into the mental state to experience it.
Despite a lot of work over a period of more than 100 years, parapsychology could have not been able to give satisfactory answers on how it works, to satisfy scientists of other disciplines and other psychologists working in other areas of psychology. Scientists claim that Parapsychology is not based on scientific evidence rather it is based on anecdotal evidence. Critics argue that experiments to prove various phenomenon of parapsychology were not undertaken under proper controls, and they lack repeatability as well.
My first fully conscious experience with remote viewing and ESP as a whole occurred back in 2004 and centered around the birth of my second daughter. My first child was born via a process of invitro fertilization back in 2002. During that time, I lived in New York city and was aware of a young lady who worked for my sister-in-law who had the amazing ability to be able to tell her co-workers about a great amount of the details of their lives including the health of their relationships as well as future events that would occur. I knew of this person only through a connection mutual but her skills were widely known and talked about on more than a few occasions by believers and skeptics alike. It was not until the Summer of 2003 that her span of knowledge focused on my family. By this time my ex-wife and I had moved from NYC to Philadelphia so our involvement within anyone in the NY area was limited to just one person, my sister-in-law. It was at that time that my ex-wife wasn’t feeling well had decided to get a checkup at the doctors. This visit was just a random act — a nonevent which was not made aware to anyone but when she returned home I learned of two separate things in sequence. The first news was a surprise as she mentioned that the Dr thought she might be pregnant again. Considering our challenges with conception for our first child, this was a pleasant surprise but not all that remarkable since natural pregnancy after invitro was not all that uncommon. What was, however, quite surprising was that on that same day post our understanding of the new, my ex received an unexpected call from her sister. It seems the young lady who had worked for my former sister-in-law, while they were no longer working at the same company, this person called my former sister in law simply to reconnect but during that call she inquired as to the health of my ex-wife. Startled by the question by sister-in-law replied “ she’s fine, why do you ask” and was immediately told “You do know she’s pregnant don’t you?” This statement prompted an immediate call to my ex, just minutes after we had learned on the possibility with my sister-in-law blurting out “Glenda, Minka says you are pregnant”. To this day I remain starved for explanations but fully aware of the fact that things we as a species don’t know could fill all of the oceans while what we do know would be just a glass of water from that ocean.
Science however requires more than just amazement. As ESP
is considered something extraordinary, scientists require
extraordinary evidence to believe in it. A scenario where our dreams come true, our prediction about someone or something becomes reality or our hunch about thoughts of someone else exactly reflects in his or her behavior; this scenario is considered totally a coincidence by the scientists criticizing ESP and paranormal phenomenon.
