Parapsychology is the scientific study of interactions between
living organisms and their external environment that seem to transcend the
known physical laws of nature. Parapsychology is a component of the
broader study of consciousness and the mind. Parapsychologists study 5
broad areas:
- Telepathy –
mind to mind communication through a means other than the normal senses
- Clairvoyance or Remote
Viewing – knowledge of objects, people, or events that are hidden
via space or time. For example, an object hidden in a box in a
different room, a photograph sealed in an envelope, an event that is
occurring to a loved one who is thousands of miles away, or the
characteristics of a room that only existed in the past.
- Precognition –
knowledge of an event that has not yet occurred, or information that
appears to be transferred from the future into the present.
- PK or Psychokinesis –
Mind interacting with matter at a distance. Mind interactions with
living systems (including energetic healing) are sometimes included in
this category.
- Survival
Studies –
The nature of human consciousness and an examination of whether
consciousness survives the physical form. This includes mediumship
research, reincarnation, out of body experiences, apparitions, and ghost
activities.
