Extrasensory Perception Or ESP, What is it?
Countless movies, stories, and tales have
spun gold out of the concept of extrasensory perception (often referred
to as ESP). Consider popular television shows and films like Medium and
The Sixth Sense.
People are fascinated with the paranormal – Ouija boards and
tarot card readings, once considered taboo and even somewhat dark
– are now popular games sold in Toys R Us. But with all this talk
and publicity, much of the origin and science of extrasensory
perception has been obscured. The actual definition of extrasensory
perception is the “ability to acquire information by means other
than the five canonical senses (taste, sight, touch, smell, and
hearing), or any other sense well-known to science (balance,
proprioception, etc)”, but there are several different types of
ESP, as well as interpretations of it.
Before getting into all the different ideas and challenges associated
with extrasensory perception, let’s first consider the history of
ESP. The concept itself goes way back, far before popular culture
turned it into a cultural phenomenon of sorts. In fact, in many past
cultures (i.e. ancient China and Egypt), it was simply expected that
people could communicate mentally with others, including the dead,
gods, and other supernatural spirits. While this possibility has been
heavily criticized as, at best, speculation and at worst, pure
superstition, plenty of accounts (both ancient and relatively recent)
have described incidents of extrasensory perception, as well as
everyday use of it for divination.
So, the big question is: Do people actually have ESP and can it be
proved? Many paranormal scientists have run experiments to test the
veracity of alleged psychic abilities and many have come out shocked
and amazed at the results. It seems that ESP may be a little more
likely than anyone previously thought. In fact, some paranormal studies
have found that alleged psychics seem able to foretell the contents of
sealed envelopes and accurately draw images identical to those of
people drawing the same image from a remote locale. Parapsychology
(especially the area of extrasensory studies) has grown both in
venerability and believer population. In fact, many large universities
now have Parapsychology programs including Edinburgh University in
Scotland.
Most claims of psychic readings and abilities are similar to the three
most commonly reported extrasensory happenings which include telepathy,
clairvoyance, and precognition. Telepathy is defined as mental
communication between two or more people. It entails one person sending
or receiving thoughts to or from another person via some sort of mental
or emotional link.
Clairvoyance is often called a “second sight” or a
“sixth sense” — that is to say, the person perceives
events happening in a location other than his or her present one,
without having any previous knowledge of the event. For example, a
clairvoyant person may sense that something is wrong with a friend or a
family member to find that he or she was in trouble. They also may
“know” that their house is being robbed as they are out to
dinner. Precognition, on the other hand, is also known as
“fortune telling” or “foresight” and entails
the ability to know or predict what will happen in the future. Many
prophets (including very false ones) have risen to fame – and
even religious worship — through their apparent ability to
predict the events of the future.
