I'm sure this sort of thread's been done to death on here but they've never ended well for obvious reasons. I thought I'd try it again but this time with a bit more respectfulness from either side (which isn't too much to ask), bearing in mind people from different religious and cultural backgrounds think different things about this thing.

Like I said people from different cultural backgrounds will have different things to say for this so there's no need to dismiss people who do believe in them (and vice versa). Respectfulness isn't a great deal to ask for so this thread shouldn't end up closed (touch wood).

I don't know is my answer at this time.
However I wouldn't dismiss the possibility or probability that some individuals may have. I'd say no more likely to clairvoyants. I can't say yes to all, nor say no either. So cannot put a vote on your poll Redway. Good question from you however and I will read the contributions mostly with interest. |

Since the question is do psychic abilities exist.
I've decided to vote yes as I do believe they can. Although most recognised clairvoyants I don't think have it. |

If psychic abilities existed they would be provable (and not just in a vague "my aunt's friend says..." way, in an actual in-depth study) as there would be a MASSIVE incentive to prove and market these abilities.
As they have never been proven and have actually been effectively dis-proven (the Nazis, followed by other governments, tried really hard to uncover psychic abilities all throughout the 20th century with no success) so I'm quite confident in saying that no, they don't exist. |

I'm a huge sceptic.
However, my sister did once go for a "reading" from a psychic (not local, never met before, went completely anonymously without notice/booking) and what the guy was saying was scarily good. Like he knew the family names AND more importantly nicknames/pet names of certain relatives, a recent incident that had happened with my sister's car, he knew that I was quite ill at the time with depression and agoraphobia and picked up on that. Very accurate stuff that nobody would know - streets people lived on, items/ornaments we have etc. My Gran was "there" apparently and told me to get my ass out of bed and sort my life out basically. ![]() Spooky.

To MBTI-code a ting, still, INFJs are also often scarily good at predicting what’s going to happen in t’future, or at-least getting a vague feel for it, via the power of introverted intuition. So good to as at times be borderline clairvoyant-psychic. I should know.
Sometimes it’s just little things like getting a hunch for banana bread in the first 2020 lockdown before it became a trend on Instagram (I experienced that). Sometimes it’s a forewarning of experiences (including highly toxic/narcissistic ones) that are going to happen to you or a certain kind of ill-health that may (or may not) affect a loved one in the years to come. Either way, when you’re like that, chances are you’re an extremely intelligent person with an inner world even people who know you quite well might not get more than 70% of the gist of half the time, even if they’re on the same level of spiritual discernment as you. You’ve just got to hold onto your intuition and watch how events play out in the future, whether people believe you along the way or not. And that’s a truth you can take anywhere you like, whether you’re in Chester, Wrexham, Buckingham Palace, Budapest, Tokyo, Ena Sharples’ backyard, Greenville or in communion with a bunch of flowers (green carnations, most-probably). As for what I was saying throughout this thread four years ago, meh. Let’s just say I’m not as driven by the “my opinion is my opinion; I ain’t really tryna spin it out further” mantra as I was at that particular time. Hope you people are well. Including (dare-I say it) the kizzy I obviously don’t get on with. Never have done and probably never will do but then I remember that we’re both just decent people trying to get on with life. We don’t really have to see eye-to-eye to be worthy of some basic compassion. We ain’t beefing like that, still.

I'm on the "yes side of agnostic" with this sort of thing.

I completely disagree. My belief is that life is more spiritual than physical. And if you're used to seeing key elements of the world through the lens of introverted intuition (like I outlined earlier), that makes more sense, irrespective of your religious, esoteric or sub-cultural background.

And that's where you and I are completely, completely different people. That's not a belief I could get with in 10,000 trillion years.

Why not? There's zero proof of spirits. We are our brains, that's it, chemical reactions, electric pulses and organic materials, there's nothing else.
