Intuition: Psychic Ability or Mere Coincidence?

By Tana Hoy

In our daily lives a lot of things that are happening around us, are not mere coincidences. Although some of them are influenced by the decisions that we make, oftentimes, we have a hunch about something which was actually bound to happen. We usually refer to this as a gut feeling. But formally, this is known as the psychic ability of intuition. If you have a feeling of something that is going to happen and it actually did happen you are exhibiting signs of a psychic ability.

The psychic ability of intuition is complex. This is why intellectuals who are associated with the art of philosophy and the sciences of psychology, are trying to rationalize the complexity of this psychic ability. Yes, intuition is a psychic ability. By definition intuition means that it is the act of knowing what will happen without logical explanation. Intuition has been the main discussion of many intellectuals both in the past and at present, mainly because there is no concrete logic behind this amazing gift.

But then they say, to be intuitive is human nature, so there seems to be nothing extraordinary about it. However, many people do not know that everyone has some degree of psychic ability within, and some people seem to have stronger psychic powers compared to others. As a concrete example, there are a chosen few whose strong intuition rarely fails to give the foreseen results, while there are those whose gut feeling is not right quite as often. To most people, intuition may seem nothing more than just mere coincidence, and not any special ability. But then, if you're hunch is always right, that surely isn't coincidence anymore.

Being able to find lost objects is an ordinary thing. But then, to be able to find things against the odds is a different story. Being able to find these lost items without having a clue is unexplainable, especially if it was your first time in a certain place and upon setting foot in that place you knew right away where it was. All that you had was a hunch, a gut feeling, an intuition. No logic or science will be able to explain this.

Instances like the one stated, are just one example of a strong intuitive psychic ability at work.

The intuitive psychic ability may come in simpler ways. Sometimes, the most ordinary situations that we encounter, like being able to know who is calling on the phone before even answering the call, or having a gut feeling if something is about to happen whether good or bad, is also part of our innate psychic ability.

But then, there will always be those people who will say that intuition is not a psychic ability at all; that it is nothing but coincidence. However, it can't be called a coincidence if your gut feeling seems to be always right.

However, because intuitive skills are innate in every person, some people see nothing special about it. This is why it is important to hone your intuitive psychic ability. If you feel that your intuition is right most of the time, this is already a sign of a strong intuitive psychic ability; you must then take the opportunity to develop this gift. Who knows, somewhere in your journey to unlock your inner psychic, you might even discover a more powerful ability just waiting to be unleashed.
