  Or, do extrasensory phenomena only develop as compensatory mechanisms? In the opinion of this author, both of these statements appear to be true. Extrasensory phenomena in the general population appear to be subtly working in the back ground, as to be so subtle, most are not aware of such processes. At this level, extrasensory phenomena are simply an extension of our other senses that reaches beyond the boundaries of the physical self into the environment and the other people within those environments.<\/p>\n

  

  However, when an individual is suddenly or gradually faced with a deficit that cannot be resolved or fulfilled through non-parapsychological means, that which was once subtle and cooperative now becomes noticeable and compensatory. Once this shift to compensation occurs, if negatively experienced, the individual typically experiences distress due to confusion and safety concerns, which can be quelled by properly educating the individual on extrasensory processes.<\/p>\n
