Archive for the ‘Clairvoyants’ Category

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.

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 clairvoyance powers, i.e. 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.

Clairvoyance normally involves a person with clairvoyant abilities knowing that something is taking place at that moment, but in a distant location that would be out of their normal range of physical senses. There have also been cases documented of various clairvoyants knowing about things that have happened either in the past or in the future. Due to this, clairvoyance is often considered by many people to be some sort of prophecy or precognition.

The means a clairvoyant individual learns this ability varies and can generally be broken down to one of six categories. The first form or category is ‘remote viewing’ and perhaps is the most associated with clairvoyance. A clairvoyant views a location, event, person or object hidden from them through remote viewing. And occasionally takes the form of visual hallucination and at other times the clairvoyant views things with their ‘minds eye.’

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.

Clairsentience (also known as psychometry) involves knowledge in the form of tactile sensations. The clairvoyant may feel objects which are not there or a generalized physical sensation which may be related to another place, event or person.

The fourth form of clairvoyance is clairalience. In this, the clairvoyant is able learn about remote events or locations through their sense of smell. As an example, they may smell the wildflowers and grass of a peaceful meadow, then the smell of gunpowder and blood. Nobody else is able to smell these different things and there appears to no source for the different scents.

The next and fifth type of clairvoyance is known as clairgustance. In clairgustance a clairvoyant with an empty mouth is able to taste different flavors even though there is no obvious source. These clairvoyants are able to precisely describe the different taste of 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.

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.

Buddhists believe clairvoyance to be one of six forms of extrasensory perception which become available to people with advanced meditation training. In Buddhism, this clairvoyance is thought to be in the form of clairsentience, with practitioners able to feel the vibrations emitted by others.

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.

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.

We might not quite understand how it works, but this doesn�t mean that clairvoyance should be discounted. Many believe that with the proper training and effort, anyone can develop clairvoyance and other psychic abilities.

Even though we don’t know how this all works, there is absolutely no reason to ignore that the phenomenon exists. There are some people that think all humans had the ability to be clairvoyant in the distant past, but somehow lost their abilities. These same people think that is possible for people regain these talents if they were to make some effort to develop the powers.
