ESP
From Activating Evolution
ESP, also called Extra-Sensory Perception or Imperceptible Contact, or Telegnosis is the superhuman ability to acquire information by paranormal means independent of any known physical senses or deduction from previous experience. These means may be any of the following:
•Clairalience, also called Inodorous Contact, is the ability to sense smells/aromas from the past, the future or a location not relative to the user. If one received a smell, they could divine information about what that substance was, without having to smell something potentially harmful. They could also recognize the location of the smell, and could thus track subjects, as the smell gets stronger. The user may also receive nasal sensations (runny/stuffy nose, sneezing, nosebleed, smelling sudden aromas, etc.) with the presence of psychic energy.
• Clairaudience, also called Inaudible Contact, is the ability to mentally pick up sounds from the future, past, or some location not relative to the user, including hearing spirits’ voices or supernatural sounds, etc. If one heard a subject, they could divine information about what and where the subject was, and could use this to find subjects as the sounds grew clearer, closer and possibly louder. The user may also receive auditory sensations (increased hearing, itching in the ears, sudden deafness, etc.) with the presence of psychic energy.
• Claircognizance, also called Indiscernible Contact, is the ability to psychically know information is correct without getting a clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairgustant, clairalient or clairsentient message; it is a feeling of complete correctness and certainty about impersonal information (things not pertaining to living things), like the answers to a test or which wire is the right one to disarm a bomb. The user may also receive psychic sensations (randomly blurting out facts, sudden recollection of useful knowledge, etc.) with the presence of psychic energy.
• Clairgustance, also called Insipid Contact, is defined as a form of extra-sensory perception that allegedly allows one to taste a substance from the past, future, or an area not relative to the user (without putting anything in one's mouth). If one tasted a substance, they could divine information about what and where the substance was without having to taste something potentially harmful. The user may also receive oral sensations (dry mouth, watering mouth, hiccups, burping, sudden food cravings, etc.) with the presence of psychic energy.
• Clairsentience, also called Intangible Contact, is the ability to perceive the past or future condition of a subject by touching it. One with this ability could even feel auras, psyches, and that would be otherwise intangible, like spirits (even phasers). If one felt a stimulus (even if it were invisible), they could divine information about what the stimulus was, as well as information about the state of the object/subject. The user may also receive tactile sensations (itchy palms, a prickly feeling, heat/cold, etc.) with the presence of psychic energy.
• Clairvoyance, also called Invisible Contact, is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires knowledge of all sorts by visual means. This can include sight of that which is normally invisible, the past, the future, or simply from a location not relative to the user. If one saw a distant location (or came into contact with a map), they could also know where the location is, allowing them to find others. The user may also receive visual sensations (itchy/watery eyes, rapid blinking for no reason, etc.) with presence of psychic energy.
• Remote Viewing is a procedure to allegedly perform near-complete ESP under controlled conditions. Somewhat similar to Astral Projection, the phenomenon involves total (and willful) projection of consciousness (the aura and/or the psyche) to remote locations. One with this ability can use it to sometimes sense (by the five senses, not psychically) the targets within that location, and from that, divine the location of those targets (how far away they are, in which cardinal direction, etc.)
These abilities are used to project the senses through the fabric of reality to allow one to perceive nearly any location in the world, and within nearly any moment in time (through one or more—perhaps all— of the senses) without potentially endangering oneself. Not to mention, it is possible that other forms of ESP exist, as these senses are not the only ones that exist. If one is capable of performing all of these phenomena, the ability is simply referred to as ESP.
- Note: ESP, Telesthesia and Telepresence are NOT the same; Telesthesia can allow one to project the senses and receive sensations from stimuli within line-of-sight, not the past, the future or across the world; Telepresence allows one to perceive and be perceived at a distance, but also maintains integrity with one’s actual location; ESP projects the senses into the past and/or future, and allows one to perceive that which is normally imperceptible (Telepresence and Telesthesia only allow normal perception)
- Note: Entire ESP and Remote Viewing are not the same, either; ESP allows one to perceive normally-imperceptible things, through space and time; Remote Viewing allows one to perceive only that which is normally perceptible, and it only allows projection of consciousness (and senses) to remote locations, not through time.
- Note: This ability is called Imperceptible Contact (Invisible Contact for Clairvoyance, Intangible Contact for Clairsentience, Inodorous Contact for Clairalience, Insipid Contact for Clairgustance and Indiscernible Contact for Claircognizance) because it allows one to sense the imperceptible, not because the perception itself is somehow imperceptible.
[edit] Variations:
Clairempathy
• Clairempathy is the ability to psychically pick up on emotions, emotional imprints and emotional links from the past, the present and the future and locations not relative to the area. This ability also lets one discern the reason behind emotions, in order to discern past, present or future events; and the ability to pick up on past and future empathic imprints allows one to also empathically mimic the abilities of others simply by going to an area they’ve been in or coming into contact with an object or subject that they have come into contact with (that the subject feels a deep emotional connection to).
Clairomancy
• Clairomancy is the ability to sense events from the past, the future or a location not relative to the area, by sensing the premonitions and divinations of others. One with this ability can only see futures or pasts that others have seen, and they could only divine what others have divined (although fortunately, they can tell if the vision was past or future, and they could tell if divinations have yet to pass or have already passed, or even if the vision/premonition/divination was coming true right at that particular moment).
Clairometry
• Clairometry is the psychic ability to obtain information from within any source (by a means similar to Psychometry), whether the source is psychometrically imprinted or not. One with this ability could divine information from perspicuous minds as though their minds were among the weakest in capacity, or even find information from amnesiacs (by obtaining the information from the subject’s past/future psychic energy or obtaining information from psychic energy within the deepest recesses of the subjects’ psyche, instead of trying to divine information from the desired target’s psyche in its current state).
Prying ESP
• Prying ESP is the ability to use ESP upon making a connection to a situation. The user may use prying Clairvoyance to see a location where a friend is, or use prying Clairaudience to hear the rest of a conversation after one’s name is mentioned (or the thought of them comes up). One could use this ability to smell/taste when someone were cooking their favorite meal (or something they were allergic to) with prying Clairalience or prying Clairgustance, respectively. Or, last but not least, they could use the prying version of the power Clairsentience to feel the touch of a long-dead loved one, or the like.
