      There are four areas of parapsychology: telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis.  Telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition fall under the category of E.S.P. (extra sensory perception).  Telepathy is the knowledge of information that is in the mind of another.  Clairvoyance is the knowledge of what is happening in a distant location.  Precognition is the knowledge of events that have not yet taken place.  Psychokinesis is the ability to move an object without any physical interaction with it.

      Surprisingly, the majority of the world believes in psychic phenomena.  Only in academia is it not widely recognized.  While there is much research being done that gives statistical evidence for parapsychology, most disciplines choose to ignore it.  As Morgan (1994) wrote, "Mental telepathy was something I sensed the people back home would find difficult to believe" (p.63).

      There are two ways that research on clairvoyance and telepathy is conducted.  The first is called forced choice, and the second is called free response.  This is just a sample of some of the research done on parapsychology.

      Parapsychology implies that there is another dimension to reality that is beyond the brain.  Through this dimension, we are all interconnected.  This implies a social consciousness; what we think and imagine can have an affect on others.  Morgan (1994) mentions the reason the Real People tribe are able to use telepathy is because they never tell a lie.  The result is that they are able and willing to have their minds open.  They have nothing to hide.  The other implication is that consciousness is not limited to the human mind, mindbody, or soma, but is vastly distributed elsewhere as well.  Proving this and introducing these facts to the general consciousness are the challenges of parapsychology.
