WELCOME to the PSYCHIC Section
The word psychic
(pronounced sai-kik ) from the Greek psychikos "of the soul, mental"
refers to the ability to perceive things hidden from the normal senses through
what is described as extra-sensory perception, or to those people said to have
such abilities.
It is also used to
refer to theatrical performers who use techniques such as prestidigitation [Sleight of hand, also known
as prestidigitation ("quick fingers") or léger de main (from the
French for "lightness of hand"), is the set …] and cold reading to produce
the appearance of such abilities. It has also been used to describe the belief
of the ability of the mind to influence the world physically and telekinetic
powers some claim to demonstrate, such as Uri Geller.
Psychics appear
regularly in fiction and science fiction, such as the The Dead Zone by
Stephen King, or Jean Grey from the Marvel comic book universe and Star Wars.
A large industry
exists where psychics provide advice and counsel to clients, though skeptics
attribute such putative powers to intentional trickery or self-delusion. Some
famous contemporary psychics include Miss Cleo, Sylvia Browne and John Edward.

says:
I find
this definition in 'Wikipedia' a bit odd, because scientists are all the time
getting to understand many of the so-called psychic attributes.
Thought
Field Therapy is using the Human Energy Field [HEF] to be rid of emotional
distress. Phychics use the HEF to 'pick up' the same energies and interpret
them. The problems start with 'interpretation'...
So why
it is that when a so-called non-professional psychic uses this energy and a
doctor uses it, are the two things different?
Interestingly
the HEF is measurable with 'scientific' instruments!
The
article title of "Are you Psychic" I have changed to "Measurable
Psychism - Are You?" because I have added this afore mentioned scientific
information.
