The Communication Link Between Minds
Clairvoyance is a French word meaning 'clear vision' (clair means clear and voyance means vision). Voyant is the adjectival present participle of voyance, so a clairvoyant is someone who 'sees clearly'. This is a literal translation; when the word is used in French it merely means someone with excellent vision. Of course, that’s not what we mean when using the word in English.
Clairvoyant has been used to describe people in terms of different phenomena over the years. It has now come to be used as a generally term describing anyone who exhibits psychic abilities. This is an overly broad definition, but generally speaking when this word is used it refers to someone who is able to sense and know things without perceiving them with the five senses of the physical body. You could refer to clairvoyance as ESP.
Usually clairvoyance involves an individual who has the knowledge of a situation that happens at the moment, but at a distance, out of the range of that individuals physical senses. Cases of individuals (clairvoyants) have been documented with these individuals knowing of situations that have happened in the past or in the future. Some consider clairvoyance to be a form of prophecy or of precognition.
There are many different ways that a clairvoyant may gain their knowledge, but there are six in particular which are the most common. Five of these are analogous to our physical senses and one is unique to clairvoyants. Remote viewing is the most well known of these methods, where the clairvoyant has a visual perception of something out of reach of their physical vision.
The second form is called clairaudience. In this form the clairvoyant receives information by way of remote event from sound. The individual may hear noises or voices other people and recording equipment does not or cannot hear. Some times the clairvoyant might hear voices of the dead. In this case the phenomenon crosses the line into a medium form.
The third form or type is called clairsentience. With clairsentience an individual gains their knowledge with feeling and touch. This may include the feeling an object that are not present. This is more of a feeling or 'vibe' that a clairvoyant gets from events, locations or people that are out of the clairvoyants visual view.
The fourth is clairalience and in this form the person receives knowledge from a remote place or event through a sense of smell. An example would be should they smell flowers or grass in a meadow or the tang of blood or gunpowder. No one else could detect these smells and there would be no available source for the variety of scents the clairvoyant is picking up.
Clairgustance refers to information in the form of taste. The clairvoyant may taste flavors which come from no apparent source and taste things from a distance.
Claircognizance refers to a clairvoyant 'just knowing' something without any explanation for their having received this knowledge. There is no sensory analogue to claircognizance, making it a difficult phenomenon to explain.
There are numerous documentations of occurrences of individuals with clairvoyant abilities historically within many cultures worldwide. The instances of clairvoyance have been found in many of the worlds widespread religions.
Clairvoyance, in Buddhism for instances, is considered to permit humans capable to achieve advanced levels of meditation. However, in this case, the clairvoyant feels the vibrations of others.
There are many skeptics who scoff at the possibility of clairvoyance, just as there are with other psychic abilities. It’s a natural inclination – it is difficult to believe in something without concrete, objective proof. However, it should be noted that only a few centuries ago you would have seen the same kind of skepticism about magnetism!
There are skeptics of clairvoyance. It is a part of human nature to doubt and deny the existence of something that they do not understand. The existence of electricity and magnetism had been denied by scientist not so long ago in our history.
Whatever is said by skeptics say, no one has as yet disproved clairvoyance and the evidence is increasing that many genuine clairvoyants exist around the world. Generally parapsychologists, scientists and the public have become more open minded and are accepting clairvoyance is real.
