ESP? How do you learn ESP_?

Question

I heard that you can actually learn ESP, i would like to know

what will happen in about 2 months time. its really important,

i want to know what'll happen,

Is there a way i can learn ESP? online possibly?

Answer 1

I HAVE NO CLUE BUT THAT WOULD BE  AWESOME

Answer 2

That looks like an interesting site though you have to click twice to get to a link that works you might want to check the link.

If as many parapsychologist suggest ESP is simply a normal human ability then it should be able to be improved through practice. I have listed some links below that will allow you to practice/test your ESP.

There are also techniques or methods to increase ESP like Remote Viewing (link below) and the Ganzfeld protocols (link below).

I suggest that you first read the scientific research literature on ESP so you will have some understanding of ESP and what the experiments have demonstrated so far as well as the methods of experimentation and analysis. The links below can help you start that process.

Answer 3

Short answer -- if there is a way to learn it, nobody knows how. If you consider that despite many unsubstantiated claims nobody has every been able to conclusively demonstrate ESP under controlled conditions, you'll understand why. Before people can start learning ESP, you need to have people who are capable of it in the first place, and we don't seem to have that.

You can try that website or others, and good luck with it. Give it your all and see what happens. You may be the very first person with ESP.

Answer 4

Despite millions of dollars and man hours spent in the exploration of ESP, no conclusive data has surfaced in support of it.  So how can you learn to do something thay may not even exist?

The best way to *pretend* you have ESP is to learn what's called "cold reading".  Sylvia Browne and John Edward have made millions off this parlor trick.

Answer 5

I know there are certain special schools (or institutions) that can help you develop that ability. All of us have the ability called the sixth sense, but only very few are naturally gifted to use it. ESP or extra sensory perception isn't only about looking into the future. Like a man's natural or inborn talents, they come in many forms. There is telepathy, telekinesis (which in turn has other sub-branches) and yes, there is clairvoyance or the ability to look into future events. Mind control (hypnosis is one) can also be considered a form of ESP. You may or you may not have this ability of clairvoyance. Even if you go to that special training school which could bring out the sixth sense in you, if clairvoyance is not your natural esp, you still can't look into the future. No, learning ESP will not be that effective if you try to learn it on-line. The trainings MUST have to be personal and practical.

Answer 6

it is proven knowledge that we all have a higher gift of thinking(this subject is frowned upon in the psychology world), thats why there are so many reports of psychics and psychic mishaps and  super human strength and such, but you have to believa nd want to tap into this, its more of a learning to channel tis, and learning to focus your mind...a fine tuning so to speak.

I'd say google the subject, or contact a psychologist, and they can direct you to a specialist in the field

Answer 7

I always thought you were just born with it.

I guess I sorta got something, not sure exactly what i can do yet, but good luck and be careful, you might get yourself into a dangerous situation.

Answer 8

That's not ESP. That's precognition. There are a few places you can learn that. Try a web search. Probably somewhere on Spiritweb.

Answer 9

You can meditate. There are different ways to do it but you have to read up on it as there is alot to it. It really works. I would read these books.

Answer 10

Many different, or seemingly different, types of ESP have been described:

Clairvoyance and remote viewing, the Paranormal perception of people, places or events by means other than the normal senses.

Precognition, or retrocognition, the perception of other times via. This is usually considered to be the same as clairvoyance, except that the perception travels through time.

Abilities such as Aura reading and medical intuition, the perception of aspects of others which most people cannot perceive.

Psychometry, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairalience and clairgustance, the perception of aspects of things which most people cannot perceive, by means other than the normal senses.

Telepathy, the ability to sense communications from and/or communicate with people by means other than the normal senses.

Out-of-body experiences (also called spirit walking and astral projection), when used to perceive environments by means other than the normal senses.

Mediumship, the ability to communicate with the spirits of persons or animals who have died. Mediumship may also include other paranormal abilities.

Psychokinesis, the ability to move objects with the mind without physically manipulating the object.

Empathic, the ability to feel or sense another person's emotions and feel them yourself.

The scientific study of paranormal phenomena such as ESP is called parapsychology, and includes other phenomena such as reincarnation, near-death experiences, and psychokinesis. It is highly controversial whether ESP abilities exists, and if so which abilities are real.

[edit] History of ESP

The notion of extrasensory perception existed in antiquity. In many ancient cultures, such powers were ascribed to people who purported to use them for second sight or communicate with deities, ancestors, spirits, and the like.

[edit] Extrasensory perception and hypnosis

When Franz Anton Mesmer and Grigori Rasputin were first popularizing hypnosis, the legend came about that a person who was hypnotized would be able to demonstrate ESP. Carl Sargent, a psychology major at the University of Cambridge, heard about the early claims of a hypnosis – ESP link and designed an experiment to test whether they had merit. He recruited 40 fellow college students, none of whom identified him- or herself as having ESP, and then divided them into a group that would be hypnotized before being tested with a pack of 25 Zener cards, and a control group that would be tested with the same Zener cards. The control subjects averaged a score of 5 out of 25 right, exactly what chance would indicate. The subjects who were hypnotized did more than twice as well, averaging a score of 11.9 out of 25 right. Sargent's own interpretation of the experiment is that ESP is associated with a relaxed state of mind and a freer, more atavistic level of consciousness.[citation needed] Skeptics believe that Sargent's experiments lacked proper controls.[citation needed]

[edit] J.B. Rhine

In the 1930s, at Duke University in North Carolina, J. B. Rhine and his wife Louisa tried to develop psychical research into an experimental science. To avoid the connotations of hauntings and the seance room, they renamed it "parapsychology." While Louisa Rhine concentrated on collecting accounts of spontaneous cases, J. B. Rhine worked largely in the laboratory, carefully defining terms such as ESP and psi and designing experiments to test them. A simple set of cards was developed, originally called Zener cards[7] (after their designer) — now called ESP cards. They bear the symbols circle, square, wavy lines, cross, and star; there are five cards of each in a pack of 25.

In a telepathy experiment the "sender" looks at a series of cards while the "receiver" guesses the symbols. To try to observe clairvoyance, the pack of cards is hidden from everyone while the receiver guesses. To try to observe precognition, the order of the cards is determined after the guesses are made.

In all such experiments the order of the cards must be random so that hits are not obtained through systematic biases or prior knowledge. At first the cards were shuffled by hand, then by machine. Later, random number tables were used and, nowadays, computers. An advantage of ESP cards is that statistics can easily be applied to determine whether the number of hits obtained is higher than would be expected by chance. Rhine used ordinary people as subjects and claimed that, on average, they did significantly better than chance expectation. Later he used dice to test for psychokinesis and also claimed results that were better than chance.

In 1940, Rhine, J.G. Pratt, and others at Duke authored a review of all card-guessing experiments conducted internationally since 1882. Titled Extra-Sensory Perception After Sixty Years, it has become recognised as the first meta-analysis in science.[8] It included details of replications of Rhine's studies. Through these years, 50 studies were published, of which 33 were contributed by investigators other than Rhine and the Duke University group; 61% of these independent studies reported significant results suggestive of ESP.[9] Among these were psychologists at Colorado University and Hunter College, New York, who completed the studies with the largest number of trials and the highest levels of significance.[10][11] Replication failures encouraged Rhine to further research into the conditions necessary to experimentally produce the effect. He maintained, however, that it was not replicability, or even a fundamental theory of ESP that would evolve research, but only a greater interest in unconscious mental processes and a more complete understanding of human personality.[12]

[edit] Early British research

One of the first statistical studies of ESP, using card-guessing, was conducted by Ina Jephson, in the 1920s. She reported mixed findings across two studies. More successful experiments were conducted with procedures other than card-guessing. G.N.M. Tyrrell used automated target-selection and data-recording in guessing the location of a future point of light. Whateley Carington experimented on the paranormal cognition of drawings of randomly selected words, using participants from across the globe. J. Hettinger studied the ability to retrieve information associated with token objects. All reported evidence suggestive of extrasensory perception.

Less successful was University of London mathematician Samuel Soal in his attempted replications of the card-guessing studies. However, following a hypothesis suggested by Carington on the basis of his own findings, Soal re-analysed his data for evidence of what Carington termed displacement. Soal discovered, to his surprise, that two of his former participants evidenced displacement: i.e., their responses significantly corresponded to targets for trials one removed from which they were assigned. Soal sought to confirm this finding by testing these participants in new experiments. Conducted during the war years, into the 1950s, under tightly controlled conditions, they produced highly significant results suggestive of precognitive telepathy. His findings were especially convincing for many other scientists and philosophers regarding telepathy and the claims of Rhine. Critics offered claims of fraud, the invalidity of probability theory to science, and the possibility of unconscious whispering, as accounting for Soal's results. These charges against Soal, and spirited defenses by his colleagues, continued until after his death in 1975. In 1978, parapsychologists largely abandoned any further defence of the findings when a computer-based analysis identified inexplicable sequences in the target lists used for one of Soal's experiments.

[edit] Sequence, position and psychological effects

Rhine and other parapsychologists found that some subjects, or some conditions, produced significant below-chance scoring (psi-missing); or that scores declined during testing (the "decline effect"). Personality measures have also been tested. People who believe in psi ("sheep") tend to score above chance, while those who do not believe in psi ("goats") show null results or psi-missing. This has became known as the "sheep-goat effect".

Prediction of decline and other position effects has proved challenging, although they have been often identified in data gathered for the purpose of observing other effects.[13] Personality and attitudinal effects have shown greater predictability, with meta-analysis of parapsychological databases showing the sheep-goat effect, and other traits, to have significant and reliable effects over the accumulated data.[14][15]

[edit] Cognitive and humanistic research

In the 1960s, in line with the development of cognitive psychology and humanistic psychology, parapsychologists became increasingly interested in the cognitive components of ESP, the subjective experience involved in making ESP responses, and the role of ESP in psychological life. Memory, for instance, was offered as a better model of psi than perception. This called for experimental procedures that were not limited to Rhine's favoured forced-choice methodology. Free-response measures, such as used by Carington in the 1930s, were developed with attempts to raise the sensitivity of participants to their cognitions. These procedures included relaxation, meditation, REM-sleep, and the Ganzfeld (a mild sensory deprivation procedure). These studies have proved to be even more successful than Rhine's forced-choice paradigm, with meta-analyses evidencing reliable effects, and many confirmatory replication studies.[16][17] Methodological hypotheses have still been raised to explain the results, while others have sought to advance theoretical development in parapsychology on their bases.

Answer 11

I don't think that you can learn it. You have it or you don't. Now there is a book that can help you develop some of the other types of para-psychological abilities. It is called "Awakening Spirits" by a man named Brown. And no it is not about channeling or anything like that. It is about remembering where you put things or where someone else put it. I can't remember if he addressed ESP or not.
