What is "psychic ability"?

Psychic ability has been variously referred to as the "sixth sense", intuition, "gut instinct", an inner wisdom or "voice", ESP (extra-sensory perception) and, to the scientific crowd, "anomalous cognition.". Technically, these terms all refer to the ability to receive information that does not come from induction (the five senses) or deduction (reasoning or logic). You just suddenly know something, without any explanation being possible through induction or deduction.

Intuition/psychic ability is a normal, natural human function. It is not religion-based, and its use does not require any particular set of religious or spirituality based beliefs. Whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Zoroastrian, atheist, or a follower of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, intuition/psychic ability is one of your normal and natural functions as a human being. Please note that our classes do not recommend or disparage any particular religious or spirituality based beliefs.

The word "psychic" derives from the Greek Ψ (psi), which refers to the human mind or spirit. Scientists began using the term "psi" in the 1940's to refer to the "supernatural" powers of the mind, including intuition, psychic ability, or ESP.

The word 'intuition' originally derives from two Latin words: 'in', meaning "in", and 'tueri', meaning "to look", and thus may be translated as "to look in".

Webster's Dictionary defines 'intuition' as "the immediate knowing or learning of something without the conscious use of reasoning; instantaneous apprehension." We would go a step further and say that this knowing is not limited by time or space: intuitive insights can come to you regarding events from the future or the past, or from halfway around the world. Some examples could include:

• The phone rings, and you know who is calling before you answer
• Without knowing why, you feel compelled to walk into a store you've gone past many times before, and you discover they have an item you've been seeking for weeks
• You decide to carry a little extra cash one day, and later an emergency arises requiring just that amount of money
• You get a song playing in your head, and a few minutes later they play that song on the radio
• You get an urge to call a friend, and it turns out that she had just been thinking about you
• You decide to take a different route to work, and you later learn there was an accident on your regular route
• And so on and so on

Have you ever wondered why some people are "luckier" than others - always making just the right moves at the right times? Somehow knowing just "when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em"?

You too can learn to develop your psychic ability into a skill that you can use on a daily basis and enhance your life in a thousand different ways!

"The term intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason."
Dr. Carl Gustav Jung

Can anyone develop their psychic ability?

Yes. Everyone - including you - has psychic ability. All of us are receiving "psychic" information all of the time. Think of psychic information like radio or TV waves. They surround us all of the time. We just need to learn how to "tune in."

Developing your psychic ability can be compared to developing your muscularity. We all have muscles. Some naturally have more muscularity than others, but we all can choose whether or not to develop our own muscles. Psychic ability is the same way. We all have it. Whether we develop and use it or not is our choice.

Famous people who have benefited from psychic guidance include the prolific inventor Thomas Edison, steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie, president Abraham Lincoln, British prime minister Winston Churchill, astronaut Edgar Mitchell, autombile pioneer Henry Ford, telephone creator Alexander Graham Bell, and many, many more.

Over the last century tens of thousands of experiments involving literally millions of individual trials have been conducted at a variety of research facililties and laboratories throughout the world, including universities and government agencies. The evidence overwhelmingly shows that psychic ability is a natural, normal human function.

"Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted."
Professor Jessica Utts, University of California

What are the benefits of developing one's psychic abilities?

Benefits vary by the individual and their personal situation, but enhanced psychic ability can have a profound positive effect on many areas of life, including finances, love and health. Some ways it may improve your own life might include:

• Overall greater "luckiness" and "guessing" ability
• And much more!

"Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer."
Robert Graves
