Extrasensory perception (ESP) involves reception of information not gained through the recognized senses and not internally originated. The term was coined by German psychical researcher, Rudolf Tischner, and adopted by Duke University psychologist J. B. Rhine to denote psychic abilities such as telepathy and clairvoyance, and their trans-temporal operation as precognition or retrocognition. ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense, gut instinct or hunch. The term implies acquisition of information by means external to the basic limiting assumptions of science, such as that organisms can only receive information from the past to the present.

Parapsychology is the study of paranormal psychic phenomena, including ESP. Parapsychologists generally regard such tests as the ganzfeld experiment as providing compelling evidence for the existence of ESP. The scientific community does not accept this due to the disputed evidence base, the lack of a theory which would explain ESP, and the lack of experimental techniques which can provide reliably positive results.

Extra-sensory Perception?
Q. Ok, this is hard to explain; but sometimes ill know that im receiving a text message on my cellphone before the ringer goes off. Ill actually pull my phone out of my pocket and have it in my hand when the ringer starts. This happens around 40% of every time i receive a text message or a phone call. Could this be extra-sensory perception? Or could radio waves be going through my head to my phone and maybe im noticing them? Can anyone help explain this strange phenomenon? Dear Guy with unpronauncable name: My phone doesn't light up when its receiving a text or a call, but it does after it rings. I don't think im seeing it out of the corner of my eye, but an interesting thought. And i partially agree with you on confirmation bias; however,… [cont.]

A. There are plenty of potential explanations, none of which involve ESP, which has never, ever been able to stand up to real scientific scrutiny. It's also unlikely that you're noticing radio waves. First of all, the human body is almost completely transparent to radio waves. There's just nothing in a human body that can pick up radio waves like an antenna. Second, even if you could detect radio waves, there are radio waves traveling to every other cell phone for miles around, so you should be getting lots of "false alerts" as you also pick up everyone else's radio waves. I think the most likely explanation is that your phone is going through some processes between the time it receives the incoming message or call and the time when it… [cont.]

A. oh, dear boy, they are very real. it's all part & parcel of our cherished, but usually hidden from most, Occult Knowledge. actually, you just have to reread the gospels and find out about some samples there. a give-away is when Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman by the well. Jesus was able to "know" & relate to this woman her life story. Jesus could have only done that if his Gifts, eg ESP & mind-reading, were fully 'awakened.' just keep on searching & one day you'll discover that you can awaken the spiritual gifts in you that have been lying dormant thru all these years. i bid you peace :-)
