It’s OK to be Psychic
The US Army had a Remote Viewing unit for 20 years.
Skip Atwater was the founder of that unit. After retirement from the army, he later became president of the Monroe Institute, a famous nonprofit education and research organization focused on exploring human consciousness.
Whenever a new soldier would join the unit, he used to bring them to the room where they do their sessions and tell them:
“No matter how things have been in all your life, and no matter how things are in the entire world … In this room it’s OK to be psychic.”

What is ESP?
Extrasensory Perception is the ability to perceive outside of our 5 senses: touch, smell, vision, hearing and taste.
It’s called extrasensory since it’s outside of our standard senses.
Some call it the 6th sense, or intuition.
ESP is not limited by time or space. Countless Remote Viewing material has shown us this is the case.
Although most people cannot control it and it happens spontaneously, scientists say we all possess the ability to perceive outside of our immediate surroundings and it can definitely be learned and improved!
Remote Viewing is a scientific protocol that uses some of the types of ESP. It is very well researched and contains great evidence that these phenomena are real.
If you want to learn and practice extrasensory perception, try our lessons and tools related to Remote Viewing.
There are multiple lessons explaining the different protocols developed by scientists and the US Army - controlled remote viewing and extended remote viewing.
After you understand the theory, try our tool Remote Viewing Practice Targets and see how good you are and how you improve over time.
Now, let's see what are some common types of ESP.

Telepathy
Telepathy is the ability to communicate through thoughts with another being.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much evidence to support it …
… in this reality!
But out-of-body explorers often report communication with other beings via telepathy.

Precognition
Precognition is the ability to see into the future.
This can happen in dreams, in visions and also in new thoughts appearing seemingly out of nowhere.
Remote Viewing has great evidence about this phenomenon.
Members of Stanford Research Institute had Remote Viewing experiments where one person goes at a random unknown location in the town and when he arrives, someone at the lab tries to perceive their surroundings.
Soon enough they realized that they don’t have to wait for the person to arrive. They can start perceiving immediately where he is going to be!
Controlled Remote Viewing has also shown us that it is possible to create a target, whose outcome depends on an event in the future. And it works just as well as with other tasks!
Here is an example of defining such a task:
At the start of next month, I will pick some news from a local newspaper. I want you right now to perceive the news I will choose next month.

Retrocognition
Retrocognition is the ability to see into the past.
Thanks to the Remote Viewing work of Stanford Research Institute and the US Army, this ability has a great amount of evidence.
Usually Remote Viewing practice targets require the viewer to show retrocognition.
It’s great for solving crimes and finding missing people!

Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is the ability to perceive information about a distant object, event, person or location.
It is very similar to Remote Viewing, but is usually more spontaneous and doesn’t require a protocol. And thus - not controllable.
Remote Viewing has shown us that clairvoyance is very real!
Clairvoyance can also happen as a result of meditation.
7 / 8
Mediumship
Mediumship is the ability to communicate with beings outside of this reality.
Those are usually deceased people, but can also be higher realm entities.
Experienced Out-of-Body explorers communicate with such beings all the time!
But in our reality, we need to be careful - there are people whose mediumship work is questionable. It is very hard to actually verify the authenticity of the material produced.

Telekinesis
Telekinesis (or psychokinesis) is the ability to have an impact on a physical object using the mind alone.
Although it is not really a perception, it is often mentioned as one of the types of ESP.
There have been some positive cases of telekinesis, in very specific cases.
It is one of the “superpowers” of highly experienced yogis.
OBE masters report telekinesis as well, but they say it takes up all their energy and they feel like hangover for the next 24h. The movement they were able to do is minor - turning on the lightswitch or moving a mechanical dial.
Reading is the first step. Practice is the rest.
Mind turns what you just read into a daily practice: reminders, practice tools and a journal that shows your progress.

Questions about Extrasensory Perception
What are psychic abilities?
Psychic abilities, or extrasensory perception (ESP), are ways of perceiving information outside the known senses: telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and remote viewing.
How can I develop psychic abilities?
Through regular, structured practice with feedback: relax, note first impressions without analysing them, then check how accurate you were. That is how the ESP Trainer and remote viewing targets in the app work.
How long is the Extrasensory Perception lesson?
About 40 minutes of reading in all, in short parts of about five minutes. Read one a day, or go at your own pace in the Mind app.
Is the Extrasensory Perception lesson free?
Yes. All of it is free to read on this page and free in the Mind app, which adds practice tools and tracks your progress.
Do I need experience before starting the Extrasensory Perception lesson?
No. It starts from the basics and builds step by step, so you can begin today whether you are new to the topic or not.
