Extrasensory perception -- also known simply as ESP -- is something that scientists have been studying for decades. Brownstein (2011) notes that until recently discussion and testing of ESP has centered on the human experience. He claims that there hasn't been any type of examination on the physical conditions that are independent of human beings, however, without which, "ESP would not be possible as a human faculty" (p. 73). Brownstein (2011) claims that sensing another's feelings is independent of reading people's minds and seeing other people's activities. In order to show how this sensing of other's feelings can work, Brownstein (2011) attempts to show that there is a foundation that has nothing to do with human experience for all of the types of ESP aforementioned. There are our senses, of course, (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) and the fact that we all have physical capabilities (even though they do tend to vary quite dramatically). Then we have our...
We also have beliefs that include things that we do not have proof of (religious beliefs, for example). Lastly, according to Brownstein (2011), we have our reason, which is how we make sense of all of our logical thoughts. This is not all, though, according to Brownstein (2011), who believes that ESP makes up a sixth category. He calls this the "flow of existence" (2011, p. 73). He explains that just like a river flows, so does existence. ESP is all about sensing what is going to happen next in the now moment of our existence. Brownstein (2011) notes that the most important part of being able to use this extrasensory perception is solely "based on one's ability to be sensitive to another person's Aura, which all living beings possess and emit" (p. 74).
