For many individuals who are autistic savants, ESP, and psychic abilities are incredibly heightened. So much so, that this has been the basis for much study by interested researchers trying to uncover how someone who can’t write their own name, may know circumstances well in advance of their happening. This also brings up the larger question, of how we treat these individuals, since their abilities fall far outside the normal capabilities of what we are taught human beings can do with their mental faculties.
Parents of young children diagnosed with autism, usually worry their children will be held back and unable to live a well-integrated life. However, as these children age, some of them exhibit amazing tendencies, that can defy even the best of doctors. For example, parents of small children may notice every time the phone rings their child will tell them who it is. Or, they may be able to recall with perfect fluency and in explicit detail the events which have occurred in someone else’s life, such as another family member or close friend – even though the child had not been physically present to witness any of it. However, what is puzzling about this is the fact their ability to understand many normal processes such as writing, speaking, reading, or mathematics are severely stunted. These abilities are so rare and hard to understand that according to many psychologists, they doubt they will ever be able to understand them, fully.[vi]
If these individuals exist in society, and we are aware of their capabilities (despite our lack of fully understanding them) doesn’t that suggest there is some level of acceptance for the phenomena which has been examined up to this point? In many cases, psychologists and researchers are quick to dismiss any type of paranormal or psychic ability. However, when faced with individuals who are clearly gifted beyond normal means in terms of mathematics or art, it is easy for these same researchers to be quick to accept them as outliers in a given population. When it comes to validating their psychic gifts, it is seen as something that cannot be proven, nor explained and so fades into oblivion. But the question remains, if people are aware of these abilities, won’t they be curious as to their validity? There is at least one scientist who is studying a psychic ability – telepathy – within this group of children, which we will discuss in a future update.
More Proof: Eureka!
Precognition is one of the most fascinating of all psychic events, because it incorporates an actual knowing or awareness prior to such an event. This also makes it one of the easiest to pinpoint with accuracy, because it’s easy to go back and see the event was foreknown ahead of time. However, even more interesting is the concept of scientific discovery and sudden knowingness. Often referred to as an “aha” or “eureka” moment, this is a different level of consciousness achieved by an individual which wasn’t anticipated. Typically, this occurs when someone encounters a problem in their work or study which has become a roadblock to further progress, and then seemingly out of nowhere the solution occurs to them. This feeling is common among mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers. It is an apparent connecting of the dots to a given problem, where no prior connection seemed to exist.
