Admit it! Whatever you call being psychic, you've always been fascinated by the idea that you could know something without having been told about it by someone else. Like most people, you've always secretly wished you could read someone's mindor predict when a catastrophe would occurthen avoid it and save the day, or get rich by knowing in advance what the stock market would do. |

Well, you're not as crazy as you thought. Although most people, especially those without any training, cannot perform any of these amazing mental feats, everyone does have a psychic sense. And that includes you! (Besides, predicting the ups and downs of the stock market may be a misguided use of your psychic skills, anyway.) |

I once asked a physicist if he believed in psychic intuition. His answer (the short one!) was ''No." His long answer, however, reveals something interesting. This physicist postulates that psychic awareness relies on an accumulation of knowledge and the ability to predict outcomes successfully based on that knowledge. It's a little bit like playing the oddsthe more inside information you have, the more accurate your choices can be and the more chance you have of beating those odds. So, according to our physicist friend, if you've got the vibes, you're consciously applying knowledge you've accessed and processed in an unconscious, unexplainable mannerthat science has yet to catch up with. |

Since you're reading this book, we'll assume that either you or someone you know are among those 60 percent of Americans who've had an experience they'd call psychic. And now you want to know more. But if you're in doubt about whether you may be a bit psychic after all, consider the following questions. Chances are good you'll answer at least one of them in the affirmative. Without even realizing it, you're tapping into your intuitive side. Give it a try: |
