2. Parapsychology
Parapsychology is the scientific and scholarly study of certain
unusual events associated with human experience. A
parapsychologist is a scientist or scholar who is seriously
interested in the paranormal events. Unfortunately, many
telephone books and on-line sites use "parapsychologist" as a
synonym for psychic entertainer, mentalist, conjurer, astrologer,
or psychic reader. This is an inappropriate use of the term.
3. Parapsychologist
Parapsychologists study a number of ostensible
paranormal phenomena, including telepathy,
precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, near-
death experiences, reincarnation and
apparitional experiences.
4. clairvoyance
The term clairvoyance is used to refer to the ability to gain
information about, person, location through means other than the
known human senses, a form of extra-sensory perception. A
person has the ability of clairvoyance is referred to as a
clairvoyant Claims for the existence of paranormal and psychic
abilities such as clairvoyance are highly controversial.
Parapsychology explores this possibility, but the existence of the
paranormal is generally not accepted by the scientific community.
5. Telepathy
Telepathy is the induction of mental states from one mind to
another. The term was coined in 1882 by Fredric W. H. Myers,
and has remained more popular than the more-correct
expression" thought-transference". Many studies seeking to
detect, understand, and utilize telepathy have been done within
this field. Claims of telepathy as a real phenomenon are at odds
with the scientific consensus. According to the prevailing view
among scientists, telepathy lacks replicable results from well-
controlled experiments.
6. Psychokinesis
The term psychokinesis also referred to as telekinesis with
respect to strictly describing movement of matter, sometimes
abbreviated PK and TK respectively, is a term coined by publisher
Henry Holt to refer to the direct influence of mind on a physical
system that cannot be entirely accounted for by the mediation of
any known physical energy. Examples of psychokinesis could
include distorting or moving an object.
7. reincarnation
Reincarnation best describes the concept where the soul or spirit,
after the death of the body, is believed to return to live in a new
human body, or, in some traditions, either as a human being,
animal or plant. This doctrine is a central tenet within the
majority of Indian religious traditions, such as Hinduism,
Jainism, and Sikhism; the Buddhist concept of rebirth is also
often referred to as reincarnation. The idea was also fundamental
to some Greek philosophers .
8. precognition
In parapsychology, precognition also called Future Sight,
and Second Sight is a type of extrasensory perception that
would involve the acquisition or effect of future information
that cannot be deduced from presently available and
normally acquired sense-based information or laws of
physics and/or nature.
