In recent years in particular, so called “psychic phenomena”  or "paranormal experiences" have become increasingly more high profile, due in part to well-known psychics such as Uri Geller, and the increasing appearance and popularity of psychics on television. The recent revelations of the use of  the psychic phenomena known as “Remote Viewing” by the secret services of various governments has also brought psychic potential very much to the attention of the world.

The most notable remote viewing situation was a program instigated by the United States government known as “Stargate”. This was a covert “information gathering” operation whereby “remote viewers” sitting at a desk in a quiet room were able to obtain often very accurate information about anything or anyone, completely regardless of the physical distance or time involved. Until recently remote viewing was often considered to be a psychic phenomena or paranormal experience.

In addition to remote viewing, most people have heard of psychic phenomena such as telepathy, telekinesis and divination by means of tarot cards, runes and many other such instruments. Most people will also be aware the multitude of personal “psychic services” on offer today, on the Internet in particular. Although psychic abilities are not strictly necessary in everyday life, as people progress on the great Spiritual path such abilities are quite likely to arise spontaneously with Spiritual growth. This certainly does not necessarily imply that those people who already have psychic abilities are Spiritually more advanced than anyone else, but rather some people were born with such abilities that have been with them all of their lives, and other people have developed such abilities through many years of practice.

At the final analysis there really is no such thing as "psychic phenomena" or a "paranormal experience. Those events people call "psychic phenomena"  or "aparanormal experience" are actually natural psychic abilities that anyone can learn.
