So what does this mean for those trying to understand their psychic gifts? To really qualify as having ESP you need to be able to communicate in one of the following five categories:
Telepathy - this is a form of mind to mind communication. You will be able to receive messages from the mind of another human or in some cases animals too with this from of ESP.
Clairvoyance - If you have ESP with clairvoyance you will be able to see events or objects from within. People who have clairvoyant ESP are able to use their ‘inner sight’ to see events that will happen in the future or have happened in the past.
Pre-cognition - If you have ESP with pre-cognition you are able to foretell events that are going to happen in the future.
Retrocognition - If you have ESP with retrocognition you will be able to see things that have already happened. People who have retrocogniton sometimes help the police to piece together the events of a murder or abduction.
Psychometry - Having this form of ESP means you can touch an object like a hairbrush or item of clothing and will be able to learn its history.
But is it only world-renowned psychics like Sylvia Browne and John Edward who have ESP or can ‘ordinary’ people like you and me have it too? Famous psychics claim to have been born with the ability to talk to the dead, see into the past or future and touch objects and know their history.
Edgar Cayce, himself a renowned psychic believes that all of us have some ability to use and practice ESP. In fact he said that ESP was a "natural ability of the soul." Experts from ‘The Science of the Paranormal’ say that we may all have psychic abilities. However they are very poorly developed in most of us and can’t really be utilized without practice.
