Here is a premise to ponder: that you were born psychic and intuitive -- meaning you came in with extrasensory radar that could move beyond time and space and report back with information you had not heard nor seen, tasted, smelled or touched.

Every now and then you likely get glimmers of your psychic ability in the form of "intuition." There is something you just "know" or feel. Most of us commonly dismiss, diminish or ignore this awareness. Think of the times you have later muttered "Oh, if I had only followed my intuition about this situation (or person)!"

Given my premise that you were born psychic, meaning with access to knowledge and information which did not come through your five senses and that often go well beyond the subtle pattern-recognition phenomena of your brain, then those moments of intuition or psychic clarity would hardly be remarkable in their own right. They stand out sharply ONLY against a general daily life in which you are out of touch with this side of yourself and instead are running on (and thinking with) other information and systems -- or as science has shown, with other parts of the brain.

In fact, we know from voluminous research into psychic phenomenon by scientists and scholars associated with many leading universities and institutions that psychic knowing is normative, not unusual. Some people have an extraordinary amount of it. Others have inklings.

Continuing with my premise, if we were all born psychic, there are profound implications to this.

- Ipso facto, you possess some yet-unexplained receptors that allow you to read or detect subtle information fields.

- That those subtle information fields exist somewhere.

- That this must be an innate human ability, the degree of which varies with different people.

- That this ability must to some degree either be quashed or encouraged by the experiences in childhood, including the manner in which you are nurtured and programmed by family, friends and community.

- Because so many of us don't retain much access to this level of knowing, it is fairly safe to conclude that most societies and child socialization processes tend to suppress rather than encourage this latent ability.
