Whats the difference between clairvoyant and psychic?

Question

if i wanted news from someone who had died which would i need to see?

Answer 1

Clairvoyance, from 17th century French Clair meaning "clear" and voyant meaning "seeing", is a term used to describe the purported transference of information about an object, location or physical event through means other than the five traditional senses (See Psi). A person said to have Clairvoyance abilities is referred to as a clairvoyant.

Psychic is a term relating to or denoting extra-sensory abilities or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by known natural laws, since they transcend the confines of our current understanding of what a human being is capable of. People who are thought to have these abilities or to be able to produce these phenomena are often called "psychics". The term comes from the Greek word psychikos, meaning "of the soul, mental," which is in turn derived from the Greek word psyche (soul/mind).[1] It was first used by French astronomer Camille Flammarion (1842 – 1925).[2][3][4][5]

Answer 2

Clairvoyant's see the early truth before the accurance, Psychics see what happens in the near truth.

Answer 3

A clairvoyant. The psychic would read your mind, tell you future etc.

Answer 4

Neither. Both are fakes. Watch the episode of Penn & Teller's Bull$hit on Showtime that dealt with psychics and mediums.

Answer 5

A clairvoyant can see the future, not specific to any one person, thru visions. A psychic uses spirits to read people.

Answer 6

If you wanted news from someone who died, neither psychic nor clairvoyant (really a sub-category of psychic) will be able to tell you. Actually, a psychic who talks to the dead is usually termed a "medium", but no medium can actually accomplish this feat.

In fact, nobody has never demonstrated any ability to communicate telepathically with the living or dead, despite many fanciful claims to the contrary. All that mediums have demonstrated is a propensity towards fraud and the willingness to take advantage of hurting, gullible people.

Answer 7

If you want to find out something from someone who died,the only way would be to maybe die yourself.No one can talk to the dead.Sometimes we all have the ability for clarvoiance.There are ways to tap into the future of the day.Not on purpose though...It happens,but it is pure luck.We have the ability,but no way to harnase it.People who claim they know the answers are liars.They are just playing the odds and toying with peoples hearts.

You would need to see the one who was adept at communication with the spirits; just because somebody HAS the ability to do these things doesn't mean they communicate with those who have passed on.
