Intuition paves the pathway to perceive any physical phenomena through the sustenance of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. The perception of reality may be sensed beyond these senses where there is a possibility for conscious principles to perceive the reality in a way in which information, energies, and forces are not mediated through the recognized physical senses, but sensed with the mind and spirit. The experience, feeling, and perception extracted through the sixth sense are known as extrasensory perception (ESP) that includes robust reception of information through precognition or retro-cognition by means of intuition, telepathy, and psychometry.
Extrasensory perception is a concept coined by Sir Richard Burton in 1870. In the 1930s, at Duke University in North Carolina, J. B. Rhine and Louisa E. Rhine conducted a few investigations. Louisa Rhine engaged on excavating experiences from the spontaneity of psychic phenomena while J. B. Rhine experimented in the laboratory at a large scale. A simple set of ESP cards (Zener cards) was designed out of their experiments. The cards convey the symbols such as circle, square, wavy lines, cross, and star. There are five of each in a pack of 25. In the telepathy experiment, the "sender" eyes at a series of cards while the "receiver" anticipates the symbols. The pack of cards is secluded from everyone while the receiver anticipates. The order of the cards is determined after the anticipations with a view to observing the precognition.
ESP is sometimes attributed as an inborn ability that we are all equally endowed with. A favoring structure regarding the existence of certain physiological properties to bridge between energy bodies of psychology and physical body functions on the firm facts which result in a psychic manifestation of the conscious and subconscious mind. However due to limited information or knowledge, the comprehension may sometimes get difficult. Researchers say that this is because there are certain causative forces and energies which cannot be identified in the physical form through the normal sensory perception.
There are degrees of ESP to develop perception through certain stages. Some people perceive the information in the form of images, sounds or smells while some of them may perceive combinations of these. Research shows that some of the people may perceive only the current facts while others can experience the past and future fervently. Applying the speed of thought and spirit of mind one may perceive only the information around their physical body when others may move out of the existence, instantaneously. The memory may be restored for some people in case of ESP who have a good command and control over their thoughts, visions, experiences, and intuition.
The ‘First Sight’ theory of Dr. Carpenter claims that our brains are receiving far more unconscious information. This information is ‘extrasensory’ i.e. beyond our senses to detect, and far from this being a premonition in a moment of crisis. Dr. Carpenter first became invigorated in psychic phenomena when he was a child as his mother just seemed to recognize things and receive visual vibes which would turn out later to be true. He later started to realize on the basis of his scientific explanations that the ability to glean this kind of information waves, far from being usual, is a part of normal functions of our mind that are intended to guide and help us instinctively. They are catalyzed by our regular thinking processes, works, and environments. It was then clear to him that most of us remain unaware of this information – until we need them in our lives.
Extrasensory perception (ESP) is as an awareness that occurs through some psychological mechanism other than the known senses. ESP is neither scientific nor unscientific but it can be studied scientifically or unscientifically. However scientific studies show no support for the hypothesis that ESP exists. Moreover, skeptics have pointed out firmly that there is no reasonable theory to explain the psychic mechanism behind ESP, and that there are experiences and historical cases in which flaws have been discovered in the experimental design of parapsychological studies.
