Psychic ability...intuition, clairvoyance, medical intuitives, intuitive empaths

...Talent Development Resources

Psychic ability goes hand in hand with exceptional ability. Psychic ability can be used for life enhancement. My whole life is directed according to my psychic perceptions; every day I make decisions based on information I get psychically.

I definitely agree with a quote of Jean Houston when she says, "I think a lot of giftedness, though by no means all, has to do with having a broader palette of perceptual capacity.." -- but I think it goes beyond the senses... It's our ability to intuit the mystery. -- Judith Orloff, MD - from interview*-- Her books include:. Second Sight....Positive Energy

Patricia Arquette plays Allison Dubois [in the NBC series "Medium"] - an Arizona woman known for her apparent ability to communicate with dead people. Married to an aerospace engineer and the mother of three, Dubois was studying law when she discovered her psychic abilities could provide research in solving murders and missing-person cases. Arquette says she asked many questions of Dubois to try to fully grasp the mystery of her powers, learning the information "doesn't come to her in a linear fashion ... you are just getting snippets of images of something in the future and something in the past ...

.. .. "That is part of what the show's episodes are about -- her trying to piece together the whole picture and figure out, 'What does this really mean?' " CNN.com Jan 3 2005 / photo from show site

.. .. I am a medium, that is, I am the medium which provides contact between the living and the deceased. This is a natural ability that I have always had. I do not fall into a trance or use any hokey devices to make this contact.

I may spend some quiet time before the reading to prepare. Often the spirits on the otherside will make an initial contact with me at this time. My contact with the otherside may effect any or all of my senses, I may see, hear, taste, smell or feel the person to be contacted. // My first memorable mediumship experience occured when I was  6 years old. My great-grandpa had intestinal cancer... The night of  my great-grandfather's  funeral I saw my great-grandpa standing at the foot of my bed as I was getting ready to go to sleep. He told  me to tell my mom that he was OK now and not to worry. I thought that grandpa was back and I didn't understand what had actually transpired. > Allison DuBois - from her site allisondubois.com > book : Don't Kiss Them Good-Bye - by Allison DuBois

.. .. One element of the paranormal -- which I will refer to as entangled minds -- is, I believe, on the threshold of transforming from paranormal to normal. /// Coming to grips with the idea that we live within a profoundly holistic reality still remains a challenge given that our daily experience more often reinforces a sense of isolation than a sense of unity,

But as more people are exposed to these concepts, I expect that common sense may evolve into a new, uncommon sensibility in which psi is regarded as boringly normal.

Carla Baron is a nationally known psychic, perhaps better defined as a 'clairvoyant / clairaudient /clairsentient' ....  these abilities.. have enabled her to "see / hear / sense" events, locations, details that the average "investigator" may not be able to discern under other than normal circumstances. Carla Baron: "When I was 11 years of age, my grandmother took me to see a psychic named Mary. She was an intuitive Italian woman, raised Catholic, very religious, who read regular playing cards.  "She gave me my first inkling that the images I 'saw' in my mind, and the things I 'heard' on a continuous basis, were more than just happenstance -- they were truly prophetic in nature." What did you do to help cultivate this gift? "I read everything, and I mean everything, I could get my hands on regarding the Unknown.  "I studied various religious belief systems, divination techniques, collected Tarot decks, rune stones, crystals, studies on hypnotic regression/progression, reincarnation, astrology, ancient Chaldean-Hebrew numerology, Nostradamus -- you name it !  "I was hardly what you would call a 'normal' girl child playing with Barbie dolls, and an EasyBake oven -- I was obsessed with my thirst for knowledge in this area."

.. .. Do you think that everyone has this ability  if they know how to use it? "Most individuals have some innate qualities that reflect the intuitive, or psychic.  "I used to teach a seminar on developing those skills, and discovered that each person carries their own 'access points' into that realm.  "I still marvel at the diversity in which every human displays these psychic 'sparks' on a daily basis -- yet rarely have they a clue as to how this at all came to be!" from Carla Baron site

.. .. Odd Thomas, the 20-year-old short-order cook of the title, would not be Koontz material if he did not enjoy special gifts.  Chief among these is the ability to see beyond the normal world. "I see dead people," says Thomas, who also sees a lot of movies and can mimic them to mocking effect, "but then, by God, I do something about it."  Thus the book opens with a young woman named Penny Kallisto, who gravitates to Thomas. When he realizes that this girl has been murdered, he stalks her killer.

This may make "Odd Thomas" sound like a standard-issue revenge fantasy.  But the first word in the title is more than well earned. As the book unfolds with bantering ease, in a neighborly Mojave Desert town called Pico Mundo, Thomas simply takes for granted a familiarity with phenomena "otherly and beyond."  He does his best to take these manifestations in stride while working to be the best possible short-order cook that he can be. from article: Premonitory Phantoms and a Cameo  by Elvis - By Janet Maslin, NY Times Dec 9, 2003 ....Dean Koontz.

The abilities of the human psyche are natural - even though they may be labeled "supernatural" or "paranormal."  While science has yet to explain these talents fully, there is no reason to assume that they are contrary to science.  After all, neither science nor philosophy has yet to explain the obvious fact of normal human consciousness - and many other phenomena as well.  Yet we do not fear or generally deny normal human consciousness. Similarly, we need neither fear nor to attempt to deny psychic abilities. These "gifts of the spirit" are not necessarily evil. To the contrary, they are associated with healing and with reverence for life and for the earth.  Nor is it necessarily the case that proponents of psychic awareness represent a rising tide of superstition and dangerous, irrational behavior.  These twin fears promoted by the religious right and the scientific left both embody, at their best, useful and needed concerns for pitfalls that can exist on the path toward psychic awareness.

.. .. Useful as they may be, however, these fears are a disservice when they are extended to include all (or even most) purported manifestations of parapsychological abilities. from article A Manifesto for Psychic Liberation  by Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, President, Intuition Network ....Thinking Allowed: Conversations on the Leading Edge  of Knowledge -- by Jeffrey Mishlove The Pk Man: A True Story of Mind over Matter  by Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D., John Mack, MD

"Thomas, have you ever seen what a person dreamt before?" I asked him. "Maybe once or twice, but I've never told them before." "So, why did you tell me?" "Because you asked me too." "But I don't remember asking you anything," I said. "It was the thought beneath your thought. You may not have known you were asking, but you were. I heard it like an echo, and I knew what it meant. I've been hearing echoes like that for a little while now.  "At first all I heard was the main thought. But then I heard the next level, and sometimes even a third, the thought beneath the thought beneath the thought. No one is ever aware of those, but they are still there."

"Are you able to read the other children's thoughts like you read mine?" "It isn't really like that," [Thomas] said. "When you and I talk with our mouths we don't make it seem like a big deal, and when we talk to each other in our minds we don't thinks it's much either. It's easy for us... it's just what we do when we're together." ...  "When we're not together physically, that doesn't mean we're not together. I can always feel them. I can feel all the children around the world who are like me." from book: Emissary of Love:  The Psychic Children Speak to the World  by James F. Twyman

Welcome to the Ark

Flight of the Raven
[Booklist review:] "... story begins with slaughter: a terrorist attack, "bigger even than the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City." Amber, 12, reads about it on the Net from her home in the Adirondacks in a secret compound where she lives with the Free Mountain Militia. Her father is the leader of the idealistic group that carried out the attack, to save the world from big government and technology. Now he plans bio-warfare. Woven into the thriller is the delicate story of Elijah, an African American child who has telepathic powers that connect him with animals and people, including Amber and her father."

Another thing is that part of giftedness involves an affective awareness. Not a hundred percent of the time, but a lot of gifted women have intense radar; they're very psychic, and that can intensify introversion, if you withdraw from crowds because you always feel raw, or pick up too much energy. So if you do have that kind of sensitivity, you really have to honor it, and respect it, and learn how to choose those energies that nourish you and avoid those that drain you. That's hard. We're learning all the time."   Kathleen Noble, PhD    / from interview

"Galadriel appears sporadically, but intensely, in all the [Tolkien ring trilogy] books... my filming was done.. just after The Gift, so it was real kick going from one woman with psychic powers to one with the universal power of psychic precognition. ...  When the film [The Gift] came up I did a lot of reading and I met a couple of extraordinary women. With a few of them I thought, 'Oh, you've been reading the trades when they talked about my future, workwise.  But there were others who would just sit there and I could feel they were extraordinary people. You meet some people and you think 'this is not your first time on the planet'."     Cate Blanchett    [The Age, April 7, 2001]  She stars in "The Gift" as a card reader with strong psychic ability.

[Do you believe in the paranormal?]

"Yes, I do actually. I believe that our abilities with energy, as human beings, is much greater
than we have realized thus far, and I believe that there are higher states of consciousness and reality,
and that it can be all good if we put our minds in the right place."

"When I made the long studies of Margaret Mead, over a six or seven year period,
she was certainly what you would call, quote, psychic, but she never called herself that.

She said she was a 'sensitive.' And that's what I think a lot of so-called psychics are;
they have highly developed sensitivity patterns and perceptual patterns, and they are
picking up peripheral things that most people are missing.

And then those things constellate in consciousness as images. Now, the images can
then become probability patterns. And many of them are as wrong as many times as
they are right; nobody talks about that."     Jean Houston - from interview

"The intuitive messages you receive can be life-changing. Please listen. Only good can come.
Even so, I know how easy it is to fixate on what you're already pursuing, what you've come
to feel is right for you. I have this struggle all the time. I'm asking you simply to allow for
other possibilities, as I've learned to do.

Reserve judgment. See how your future unfolds. There's often a synchronicity; opportunities
may present themselves. If so, go with them. Watch where they take you.

Change of this kind always has a component of the unpredictable. It can be mysterious,
beguiling. Be prepared to smile."

A Second Manifesto for Psychic Liberation: Extra-Sensory Perception, Science and Education
by Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, President, Intuition Network
By every normal, scientific standard, the case for the existence of a scientific anomaly called extra-sensory perception (ESP) ? i.e., telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition; or, conversely, synchronicity -- has been established.  This simple fact was  acknowledged 100 years ago in the annals of the Smithsonian Institute ? based upon the careful case studies collected by psychical researchers in the nineteenth century.  Since then, this basic finding has been reaffirmed in hundreds of properly designed and conducted scientific experiments.  Meta-analyses of these experiments have further confirmed the basic finding -- and replications are reported at regular scientific meetings.
