Psychic Powers

The word “psychic” is of Greek origin which refers to a person who has the ability to perceive that information that is hidden from the normal senses by means of extrasensory perception. This word is also used in order to describe those theatrical performers that by the use of techniques such as cold reading, hot reading and prestidigitation perform and show such capabilities. The word can also be used to denote ability of a person’s mind to physically influence the world and also to the telekinetic powers that are professed allegedly by people such like Uri Geller.
The appearance of psychics in the science fiction and fiction novels is a very common phenomenon the famous novels that contain psychic articles are the Dead Zone that is written by Stephen King, The Telepathy written by the well known Marvel and Jean Gray’s psychic. A large market exists by means of which the psychics offer an advice to the clients. Among the famous contemporary psychics are John Edward, Sylvia Browne, Miss Cleo and Danielle Engel.
The critics compare the powers possessed by the psychics to the delusion of self and also to the international trickery. Among the Psychic Articles is that published by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States in the year 1988 which says that there is no scientific proof of the Para psychological despite of 130 years long research. Yet apart from these reports the psychic powers are being used by persons for the case of psychic surgery and psychic archaeology.
In the psychic articles of 1990, participants of the research conducted in the National Academy showed that just 2% respondents were of the view that extra sensory perception had been demonstrated scientifically, and another 2% of the people thought that this phenomena did happen sometimes.
In other psychic articles published in the same year showed that only 10% people thought that this phenomenon pf parapsychology should be encouraged and 22% thought that this practice should be discouraged and 63% said must be allowed but not encouraged.
One of the psychic articles based on the survey of the American population beliefs about the paranormal phenomenon which was conducted by Organization of Gallup in the year 2005. The survey reported that 41 percent of the pollens believed in the phenomenon of extra sensory perception. The poll also reflected that the belief in the phenomenon of psychic’s was lower among the science students as compared to the students of art and socialism. This was the survey of university of Oklahoma conducted by Bryan.
Certain people also have a belief that the abilities of psychics can be enhanced or activated by the practice and study of immense techniques and discipline like the meditation, along with numerous of websites and books that are being reserved for instructions in these techniques. Another belief which is popular is that the abilities of psychics are hereditary, with a parent who is psychic passing on their abilities to their children.
