The human species is constantly striving for more. More food, more friends, more love, more money, more sex, more power to get all good things. You and I are not unique in this regard. We want to have more of things which please us.

In our striving for more, mankind has created various systems of knowledge (sciences) which help us to attain most we possibly can. We have sciences of mathematics, chemistry, physics, aerodynamics, psychology, astronomy, biology, zoology, economics, and many more. These sciences are well respected, and for good reason. They help us attain more than we could without them.

But how well respected were these sciences before they were called a science? Before there was chemistry, it was called alchemy and it's practitioners were ridiculed. Before mathematics was numerology (which still exists today). How serious do we take those who practice this 'art'. And before astronomy was astrology.

What difference is there between sciences of today and their predecessors of yesterday? Only one thing differentiates them. One has been proven to work and other hasn't. Many people today ask "do you believe in astrology?" suggesting that there has not been enough proof to substantiate its validity as a science. No-one asks "do you believe in astronomy?", do they?

Today, we have new sciences being born. The field of psychology has learned much from it's predecessor, parapsychology, and still does. New technologies in psychology are being tested and added to science. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is one such technology, and even hypnosis was not identified as a distinct technology until this last century. Psychology is a science that is still fairly young, with a extensive list of scientific laws yet to be discovered.

In fact, scientists realize that they know less about human mind than they do about galactic systems of Universe! What is mind actually capable of? This is one question that remains unanswered, because new discoveries of mind's capabilities are constantly being made. How does mind work? Another unanswered question.

Coming from a different direction, religion has been another area which promises to give us more of things we want. We are taught in many religions that if we are good, and have faith that God will answer our prayers, then we will receive thing asked for.

There have been many famous psychics. Edgar Cayce is probably most famous, but there were others. There was a Dr. David Hoy who was born in Evanston, Indiana around 1930. One of main differences between Cayce and Dr. Hoy was that Cayce went into a trance to access his psychic abilities, and Dr. Hoy had his abilities readily available at all times. These two psychics show us that psychic abilities can be extremely accurate and reliable, and that each person has a unique method of accessing them.

Here's first question, why does this matter? What benefit can we gain from this information? A lot of people feel that anything psychic is too "out there" to be of any real use, that whole subject is one for those who are "a little off". But is it? Don't we all trust our "gut instinct" about certain matters? When we meet someone for first time, don't we trust our "first impression"? What is a first impression, anyways? Science tells us that first impression is subconscious reaction to a wide variety of subtle clues including a person's body posture, tone of voice, facial expressions, fluidity of motion, and factors such as how they wear their clothes.

What if there are other clues, even subtler? Have you ever met someone who seemed completely confident, well dressed, and in complete control of situation, yet had an uneasy feeling about him/her? Where did that feeling come from? And what about feelings we get about things and places? Yes, it could be simply a resemblance to something in memory, which brings up forgotten feelings associated with whatever we are remembering on subconscious level.

But here's catch. The ability to know things totally unavailable to physical sense has been proven, scientifically. Whether we want to believe in psychic abilities or not, they have been proven to be real. So question comes back to what benefit can we get from this information?
