Psi vocabulary


Blindfold viewing, mindsight, eyeless sight, seeing without eyes: seeing one’s immediate surroundings without using one’s eyes. This can be considered as a form of OBE without the sensation of leaving the body. An old and misleading term for the same phenomenon is dermo-optical vision.

Clairaudience: the supposed faculty of perceiving, as if by hearing, what is inaudible. Clairaudient: derived adjective.

Clairsentience: perception of what is not normally perceptible.

Clairvoyance: the faculty of perceiving things or events independently on distance and time spacing.

Cognition: the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.

Controlled remote viewing (CRV): A remote viewing protocol developed by Stanford Research Institute as an intelligence-gathering method for CIA, DIA, and a number of other US governmental organizations. The protocol involves the perception of all sorts of sensory information, not just visual ones.

Déjà rêvé: a French expression meaning “already dreamt” and used worldwide for describing a feeling of having already dreamed the present situation.

Déjà vu: a French expression meaning “already seen” and used worldwide for describing a feeling of having already experienced the present situation.

Divination: the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means.

Dowsing: biolocation of materials, objects, and subjects with or without the help of tools, such as dowsing forks, rods, pendulums, etc. In a broader sense, the technique can be considered as a variety of clairvoyance and can also be used to obtain answers about future events.

Extended remote viewing: a remote viewing method which unlike CRV does not involve a strict protocol and is performed in a state of meditative trance or hypnagogic state.

Extrasensory perception (ESP): the faculty of perceiving things by means other than the known senses, e.g., by telepathy or clairvoyance.

Foreboding: a feeling that something bad will happen; fearful apprehension.

Foreknowledge (= prescience): awareness of something before it happens or exists

Forewarn: inform (someone) of a danger or a possible problem.

Forewarning: an advance warning.

Fortune telling = prophesying: telling the future.

Ganzfeld protocol: A rigorous scientific protocol proving the existence of telepathy.

Intuition: the faculty of gaining direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference.

Lucid dreaming: dreaming while retaining consciousness, also allowing one to have precognitive and clairvoyant experiences.

Magic(k): doing apparently impossible things by pronouncing special words and performing special rituals. Traditionally, most paranormal (psi) phenomena have been considered magic.

Near-death experiences (NDE): spontaneous OBE during coma or a state of deep sedation.

Oneirology: The study of dreams and their interpretation.

OOBE, OBE, out-of-body experience, astral projection: a state in which one's mind separates from the body and moves freely anywhere in space and time.

Paranormal = supernatural: that seems impossible to explain by reason or science.

Precognize, precognise: To have, or profess to have, foreknowledge of; to know beforehand.

Precognition: a noun derived from the verb precognize.

Precognitive: an adjective derived from the verb precognize.

Predict: to say or estimate that a specified thing will happen in the future or will be a consequence of something.

Prediction: a noun derived from the verb predict.

Premonition, premonishment: a warning, especially one given in advance.

Prescience =foreknowledge: the fact of knowing something before it takes place.

Presentiment: a feeling that something will or is about to happen.

Prophecy: a message that is claimed by a prophet to have been communicated to him/her by a deity.

Psi: the unknown factor in extrasensory perception and psychokinesis experiences that is not yet explained by known physical or biological mechanisms. Often this term is used to denote all psychic phenomena, as they apparently have the same origin.

Psychic(al): relating to or denoting faculties or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by natural laws, especially involving telepathy or clairvoyance.

Psychometry: obtaining information related to an object through contact with or proximity to it.

Remote viewing (RV): a term coined by Star Gate (US government-funded program) researchers as a substitute for clairvoyance.  

Retrocognition: the ability to see past events without previous knowledge.

Scrying: a form of divination by staring at an object such as a crystal sphere, a flame, a screen, etc.

Telekinesis (TK) = Psychokinesis (PK) = Mind over matter: the ability to move objects or change their shape using only the power of the mind.

Telepathy: the direct communication of thoughts or feelings from one person to another without using speech, writing, or any other normal method.

Psi, vital energy, and electromagnetism

Image
Despite decades of parapsychological research, psi phenomena have not yet been convincingly explained in terms of modern physics, which is probably one of the reasons why the scientific community is still mostly disregarding them. In the past, it has been theorized that psi is electromagnetic in nature, its transmission occurring through some sort of electromagnetic waves. That theory has been abandoned. It does not explain phenomena such as precognition and retrocognition, nor have any such waves been detected in tests involving, for example, e.g. telepathy or remote viewing. Reviewing both academic and non-academic resources, one finds substantial evidence for the electromagnetic nature of psi, in particular in mind-over-matter type experiments. Some particularly experienced martial artists can voluntarily produce electromagnetic fields with extraordinary characteristics. These include field amplitudes high enough to cause the electrical breakdown of air (i.e. >30 kV/cm), volt...

A brief history of premonition registries

Image
The idea of creating registries to record multiple premonitions before they come true is probably centuries old. In the last 50 years or so, at least ten such registries have been created but none of them has gained much popularity and currently only one of them is active.  BRITISH PREMONITIONS BUREAU (Dr. John Barker) In 1967, English psychiatrist Dr. John Barker established that registry following a carbon avalanche in Welsh village Aberfan that had killed over 130, mostly children while studying in the local school and the reports of many people that they or their children had foreseen the accident. Barker recollected hundreds of premonitions, in the form of letters, 24 of which really impressed him and he published them in a parapsychology journal [John C. Barker, “Premonitions of the Aberfan Disaster,” Journal of the Society of Psychical Research, 44 (1967): 169–181].      CENTRAL PREMONITION REGISTRY (Robert Nelson) This registry was ...

On the evidence of precognition and clairvoyance and why most people still doubt their existence

Image
There is more than sufficient bibliography proving the existence of precognition, clairvoyance, and psi in general, including in mainstream peer-reviewed journals. But why do most people still doubt their existence? One of the most extraordinary phenomena, which at the same time is very easy to verify is precognition through dreams. All one needs to do is to have a good sleep, and then to take a few minutes to write down all dream details upon waking up. This improves memory retrieval and leaves a useful record. By assiduous practice, one will often notice real-life events that have an extraordinary resemblance to recent dreams, hardly attributable to any coincidence. This phenomenon has been known since ancient times and there are multiple records, reports, and testimonies about it. From mainstream media, it is easier to hear about aliens than about these natural and common abilities. Much of the research done in these fields is labeled as parapsychology, which is regarded with di...
