What
is ESP?
ESP,
the abbreviation for extra sensory perception, means the reception of information
through paranormal means (ie. not regular physical senses of sight, sound,
touch, smell, or taste). In theory, this is accomplished by receiving psychic
force from outside the body. Here are some examples of ESP:
- Clairvoyance,
or Remote Viewing -- the ability to sense or 'see' (non-physically) distant
objects, places, and people. Individuals who see ghosts and spirits are
probably clairvoyant.
- Clairaudience,
or remote hearing -- the 'hearing' of paranormal information.
- Astral
Projection (OOBE) or Travelling Clairvoyance -- Full experience at a remote
location while the physical body sleeps.
- Psychometry
-- the reading of information by the touch of physical objects.
- Telepathic
receiver -- the ability to directly receive thought (communication) at a
distance, with no physical connection to the sender. There are many everyday
examples of this, in which we think something just as another person is
about to say it. This is an easy one to test for through experiment. Very
dramatic cases of telepathy have been recorded; there is often an emotional
element in such cases.
- A
'channel' or medium, as in a
science who is in direct communication with a
'spirit' or entity.
- Experience
with a Ouija board, pendulum, or automatic writing.
- Precognition
-- to foresee the future. Again, highly emotional events are the ones most
likely to be 'tuned in'.
Retrocognition -- knowledge of the past, by paranormal means.
