Clairsentience and Claircognizance in Parapsychology
In the field of parapsychology, clairsentience (From the French clair, clear, +
sentience, feeling, ultimately derived from the Latin clarus, clear, + sentiens,
derived from sentire, to feel) is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a
person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by means of feeling. In addition to
parapsychology, the term also plays a role in some religions. For example:
clairsentience is one of the six human special functions mentioned or recorded in
Buddhism. It is an ability that can be obtained at advanced meditation level.
Generally the term refers to a person who can feel the vibration of other people.
There are many different degrees of clairsentience ranging from the perception of
diseases of other people to the thoughts or emotions of other people. The ability
differs from third eye in that this kind of ability can not have a vivid picture in
the mind. Instead, a very vivid feeling can form.
In the field of parapsychology, claircognizance is a form of extra-sensory
perception wherein a person acquires knowledge primarily by means of
intrinsic knowledge. It is the ability to know something without knowing how or why
you know it.
