Extrasensory perception, like everything obscure, scares someone, annoys someone. There are people who are absolutely sure that all psychics are charlatans, while others are looking for contact with them, ready to entrust their health and destiny. Meanwhile, this phenomenon has existed for thousands of years and continues to amaze.
Special Abilities
The very word "psychic" comes from the Latin roots exstra (over or outside) and sensus (feeling). That is, it can be translated as "supersensitive" and as "extrasensitive". These are special abilities to influence people and surrounding objects without using traditional senses.
It is believed that extrasensory perception is denied or hushed up by modern science. This is not entirely true. Scientists have long been interested in paranormal abilities. Even in the pragmatic Soviet times, an entire institute was created to study the extraordinary capabilities of Dzhuna Davitashvili's body. True, she does not consider herself a psychic, and calls her method a non-contact massage and the effect of a biofield. By the way, the screen saver for the American TV series "The X-Files" was a snapshot of her hand in special lighting. Scientists have recorded that when Juna begins the healing process, her hands really emit special energy: infrared heat, optical glow and magnetic field are superimposed on each other, and they are much stronger than those of ordinary people.
History knows many examples of people with similar talents. Wolf Messing is one of them. It is known that even during the Great Patriotic War, he taught our intelligence officers his unique techniques. And his ability to foresee the future has been repeatedly confirmed in practice.
In recent years, many secrets of the special services have been revealed, including the fact that there was a special unit in the Soviet army, where soldiers with extrasensory capabilities were selected and these talents were developed, researched and, apparently, used. Natalia Bekhtereva, head of the Brain Institute, and other researchers paid much attention to such phenomena. It is worth remembering the theory of Vernadsky about the noosphere as a "data bank" of the planet, to which, according to the scientist, some thinkers occasionally connect, drawing inspiration.
On the verge of science and mysticism?
Biolocation (dowsing), clairvoyance, telepathy are considered the constituent parts of the psychic (or its directions). Healing is often spoken of as well, but this area is usually referred to as a special kind of activity.
Of course, here, as in any other business, there are professionals and amateurs, their own imitators and deceivers. As for the "over" data, it depends on what to compare with. Psychics (genuine) just really have more receptive organisms. After all, all people see, hear, smell, etc. differently.
In ancient times, these senses were developed more powerfully than now, because a person had to survive, to be a part of nature. Especially in the days before verbal communication. At the present time, on the contrary, many knowledge and skills have been lost, only their bursts remained in each of those living on Earth today, and in some representatives of Homo sapiens they are more pronounced. Including intuition, ability to foresee, etc. And no mysticism!
