Clairaudience is the ability to hear things
not audible within normal hearing ranges. This
is an example of extra-sensory perception
(ESP). It includes the audible perceptions of
ghosts, spirits and those who are in the astral
realm. The definition is debatable at length,
although the main point being that
clairaudience is essentially the ability of
hearing the paranormal as opposed to seeing
it
In its largest sense Clairaudience
means simply "clear-hearing." True
clairaudience is a spiritual faculty, the
faculty of the inner spiritual ear, of which
the psychical clairaudience is but a distorted
and therefore deceptive reflection; neither is
it hearing with the physical ear, so imperfect
and undeveloped a sensory organ as the latter
is. The power to hear with the inner ear
enables you to hear anything you will, and at
whatever distance, whether on Mars, or on the
Sun, or on the Moon, or on Jupiter, or perhaps
even on some distant star, or easily anywhere
on Earth.
Clairaudience involves hearing voices or sounds
which are messages being communicated
psychically - usually this ability goes with
clairvoyance, the art of receiving psychic
information visually. Clairaudience means
literally clear hearing (clair is French for
clear). People often see visions and hear
voices simultaneously.
Some people hear voices quite distinctly. This
can be alarming as in our culture hearing
voices is generally believed to be a bad thing,
indicative of mental illness. However, unless
the voices are urging destructive or negative
behaviour, then they may be instances of ESP.
Mediums
exercise this skill when they hear messages
from spirits.
Some people have clairaudient experiences in
the form of voices of someone they have known,
or a voice they don't recognise, others don't
recognise their psychic ability initially as
the messages just sound like them thinking to
themselves. It is believed that area of the
brain just above the ears is processing the
information for clairaudient experiences. This
is where sounds perceived through the ears are
interpreted as well as ESP information.
