Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Clairvoyance is the psychical influence of an objective environment [i.e. or Universal Information System, Psychic Reservoir, or Nature], which is assumed capable of storing, retaining, and recalling information pertaining to the past and current states of objects and events, involved in  the interim integration, processing, shifting, and retrieval of information pertaining to objects and events in real-time, and probabilistically determining the potential trajectory of future events. This is all achieved through the act of an experient [Clairvoyant] requesting and receiving information pertaining to past events [Postcognition] via the systems long-term information storage, and pertaining to remote current events [Remote Viewing/Sensing or Contemporaneous ESP] via the systems working memory or short-term information storage. This is also achieved through the computation of relative causal knowledge encompassing deterministic and random variables, which are hypothesized to be stored by the system and retrievable by the experient [Precognition].

In addition, Clairvoyance includes anomalous communication with immaterial entities [Mediumship] most commonly referred to as apparitions (ghosts) or spirit guides, which are believed to have a form of consciousness and element of personality. Assuming thought to be the basis of consciousness, this form of communication requires specific mental processes by which experients utilize for thought transference between the experient and immaterial entities. These thoughts are also transferred through intuitive, or emotional, modes or through several hallucinatory sensory modes including visual, auditory, olfaction, gustatory, and somatosensory modalities.

:: Course 104-A – Models of Clairvoyance I: Clairvoyant Phenomenology

View Content

This course addresses the four modes of Clairvoyance. These include Clairvoyant Cognition, which is defined as the phenomenologically indirect knowledge of an object or event via Nature; including Mental Mediumship, which is defined as the anomalous communication with immaterial entities most commonly referred to as discarnate spirits (i.e. ghosts) or spirit guides, which are believed to have a form of consciousness and element of personality, or the anomalous communication with Nature, which some believe to be an aggregate of consciousness, or “universal consciousness,” assumed “friendly,” but possessing a neutral personality (i.e. behaviors, temperament, emotions, etc.), an topics on the Survival Hypothesis, Super-Extrasensory Perception Hypothesis, the Mediumistic Search-Based System Model, and touch on features of Clairvoyance including Claircognizance, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, Clairsentinence, Clairalience, and Clairgustance; Clairvoyant Interaction, which is defined as “the causal influence of an entities mind” onto an experient without the intervention of the five senses;” including Trance Mediumship, Channeling, and Possession. Additional topics include Automatism, Xenoglossy, Physical Mediumship, Ectoplasm, and Psychopomps; Clairvoyant Simulation, which is defined as a case in which an experients mental or physical state appears to produce an accommodating effect in Nature, or Nature produces an accommodating effect within itself or the experient to satisfy the needs of the experient; including Probability Shifting.

In addition, the course addresses the temporal facets of Clairvoyance including Retrocognition or Postcognition, which is defined as “the purported paranormal transfer of information about an event or object in the past,” including the topics of Cryptomnesia, Psychometry, and the Recorded Search-Based System Model; Contemporaneous Clairvoyance, which is defined as the “perception of information about places or events through paranormal means during the time at which they are occurring,” including the topics of Remote Viewing and Remote Sensing, and the Real-Time Search-Based System Model; and Precognition, which is defined as “a form of extrasensory perception wherein a person is said to perceive information about places or events through paranormal means before they happen,” including the topics of the Arrow of Time, and Principle of Causality, Premonitions and Presentiment, Precognitive Dreams, Déjà vu, Selection Bias, Unconscious Perception, Self-fulfilling Prophecy and Unconscious Enactment, the Probabilistic Search-Based System Model, Determinism and Indeterminism, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Entropy.

:: Course 104-B – Models of Clairvoyance II: Clairvoyant Stages and Techniques

View Content

This course addresses intentional Clairvoyant experiences i.e. instances when the Clairvoyant is consciously aware of the need to influence and the act of influencing. This course breaks down clairvoyant processes into several stages assumed required for each clairvoyant mode (e.g. initiation, selection, exploration, formulation, collection, and search closure). Techniques for Clairvoyant Cognition include Mind Mapping, Concept Mapping, Top-down and Bottom-up Strategies, Method of Loci (visual-spatial mapping), Memorization via Repetition, and Directed Cognition via Divination. Techniques for Clairvoyant Interaction include Trance Induction and Sensory Modalities; Signs of Successful Induction, Auditory Induction, Kinesthetic, and Visual Induction. Also addressed is Non-Verbal Entity Communication such as various established and developed communication systems including both automatic and guided systems. Techniques for Clairvoyant Simulation include Positive Thinking and Speaking. Techniques for Temporal Features of Clairvoyance are additive to cognitive, interactive, or simulative techniques, and can include the utilization of various types of timetables to organize information chronologically.

Credits for this course are transferable to Course 104-B for Clairvoyant-Based Programs, i.e. this is the fifth course of Clairvoyant-Based Programs offered by the University of Alternative Studies. Upon course completion with a passing average, a personalized digital certificate of course completion will be issued via email. This course is more beneficial when taken secondary to our Clairvoyance Course 104-A, Introduction to Parapsychology and Introduction to Extrasensory Perception courses.

:: Course 104-C – Models of Clairvoyance III: Clairvoyant Therapeutic and Experimental Applications

View Content

This course addresses practical applications in regards to Clairvoyance including therapeutic and experimental applications. Therapeutic applications addressed include Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Grief Counseling. Course includes an overview of types of therapy, relative factors of therapy associated with clairvoyant professional practice, and several relative therapeutic techniques. This course addresses experimental Clairvoyance including experimental effects such as; the experimenter effect, position and decline effects, differential effects, displacement, effects in post hoc analysis, and addresses the improvement role of feedback. In addition, research methods are addressed including qualitative research analysis, quantitative research analysis, and probabilistic research analysis. Also addressed are experimental targets for Clairvoyance including intuition-based targets, hallucination-based targets such as; visual targets, audio targets, olfactive targets, and temporal targets. Experimental applications addressed include a brief overview of procedural techniques and methods followed by computer simulation, reversed rehearsal, random event shifting, sensory deprivation, which addresses the five levels of hallucination (i.e. visual noise, light/dark flashes, colorful visuals and hypnagogic hallucinations, objects and environments, and overriding of physical perception). Also addressed is the Ganzfeld simulation experiment, a dream state experiment, and psychophysiological experiments involving cortical measures and autonomic nervous system measures.

Credits for this course are transferable to Course 104-C for Clairvoyant-Based Programs, i.e. this is the sixth course of Clairvoyant-Based Programs offered by the University of Alternative Studies. Upon course completion with a passing average, a personalized digital certificate of course completion will be issued via email. This course is more beneficial when taken secondary to our Clairvoyance Courses 104-A&B, Introduction to Parapsychology and Introduction to Extrasensory Perception courses.
