Discover What You Need To Know About Clairvoyance
The paranormal term clairvoyance originated in the French language. And can be broken down as, in French, 'clair' meaning clear, 'voyance' meaning vision and 'voyant ' being a visionary. Therefore being a clairvoyant is one who has clear vision. This is, however, a literal translation and not really accurate or very helpful.
Complicating the definition further is the title 'clairvoyant' and has been used as a reference to other things in the years past. The word clairvoyant was gradually developed to apply to an individual who exhibited a number of psychic or paranormal abilities. The only total encompassing definition that truly fits is that a clairvoyant is an individual who has the ability, outside of the five senses, to know things about an object, event, person or a location. And refers to a form of (ESP) extra-sensory perception.
A clairvoyant’s abilities are generally confined to knowledge about something occurring at the present which they could not perceive with the usual five senses. There have been cases of clairvoyants receiving knowledge of events or the conditions of places, people or objects in the future or the past – however, these events are more properly termed pre- or past-cognition.
A clairvoyant may receive this knowledge through various channels, but there are six means which are the most common. The most common of all and the one with which clairvoyance is most strongly associated is known as remote viewing. This consists of seeing a person, place or thing beyond the range of their five senses. This could be a vision or a mental image.
Clairaudience is another means by which the clairvoyant may receive information. As the name suggests, in this case this is in the form of sound which they and no one else can hear. Some clairvoyants may even hear the voices of people who are dead; these cases are more properly termed mediumship.
The next and third type is clairsentience. In the form an individual receives knowledge through feeling and touching. In feeling the clairvoyant may feel actual objects that are not within his/her vision. Other cases may be more of a feeling or vibration that the individual feels from a particular event, person or place.
Clairalience is the fourth type or form. This form, clairalience, involves the sense of smell of the clairvoyant. The knowledge, for example, of the individual (clairvoyant) is gained through the smell of flowers and grass of a meadow, the ordor of blood and gunpowder. An it is unlikely anyone else near them can detect these smells and there is no source for these various scents.
The fifth form is called clairgustance and in this case an individual who has not eaten or drank anything can taste different flavors with no apparent source. They can also describe the taste of these things at a distance from where they are.
Claircognizance has no analogue among the physical senses. It is the phenomena of a clairvoyant 'just knowing' something with no sensory explanation. It’s difficult to explain in any more detail than this.
Clairvoyance is known around the world and is something which figures into every one of the world’s cultures. It is also something which makes up a part of many major religions.
For example, in Buddhism, clairvoyance is considered to give humans the capability to reach advanced levels of meditation. And the ability to feel vibrations sent out by other people.
Clairvoyance also makes appearances in Christian and Islamic literature, with the visions being considered to be divinely inspired miracles. St. Clare described a vision of St. Francis’ death, though she was many miles distant. The Catholic Church later named St. Clare as the patron saint of TV (which happens to literally mean 'seeing at a distance'). As with other psychic phenomena, there are many skeptics about clairvoyance. Skepticism is natural; it’s hard to believe in something without seeing it in action. After all, even magnetism was once thought to be non-existent.
Many, of course, are skeptical of clairvoyance, but it is a part of human nature to deny something’s existence because they have no understanding of it. Not long ago, in our earlier history there were skeptical scientist who had even denied the existence of electricity and magnetism.
Whatever the skeptics have said, no one has disproved clairvoyance exists. And the evidence is increasing that genuine clairvoyants exists worldwide. Generally parapsychologists and scientists along with the general public are being more open-minded on the subject and accept the existence of clairvoyance and that’s it’s real.
