People may disagree, but I think what psychic ability is (and I agree it's different from mediumship) is a very finely tuned intuition! Every human has intuition to one degree or another...it's that 'gut' feeling that provides information. (In fact a feeling of 'fear' in certain situations is exactly that gut feeling talking to us. You know when the hair on the back of your neck stands up? Security specialist Gavin deBecker describes that in his book, "The Gift of Fear.")
I think we've all experienced thinking about someone and then the phone rings and it's them on the phone. Happens to me all the time; faster than calling and leaving someone a voicemail!! heh.
So I think intuition is there for everyone, but like anything it's a matter of degrees and how much we are tuned to it and pay attention to it. And with busy/hectic lives, lots of TV, iPods, etc. it can be more challenging to tune into one's own intuition. For me it works best when I'm in a quiet space just relaxing.
So if intuition is something all humans have (to greater and lesser degrees), then people have the ability to receive information that is not coming from the 5 basic senses. They may not pay attention, they may tune it out or they may not recognize these 'gut' feelings, but I think everyone has them.
Sleuthy- I have been lurking here since this thread was started, but I saw this post and had to respond, I completely agree with you, and think Gavin DeBecker's book should be required reading. For me, blessed with a very strong intuition I am working on developing further, that book explained for me in alot of ways why some have it and others do not.
If I may, I would also recommend 2 books if you have not read them, they both literally changed my path if you will:
blink-Malcom Gladwell
(yes, thus the "hat)
The Celestine Phrophecy- James Redfield
As to the "psychic" issue, I am very passionate about this for alot of reasons. Basically, becasue there are SOO MANY frauds out there, I shudder whenever I hear the term in relation to a criminal or MP case.
I have seen some prey on the vulnerability of people first hand.
That being said, I met two of my bff's, out of that experience and I trust them with my life, both of which are gifted intuitives. Both of which work silently on MP cases probono and without credit. They are very real, but it is almost better as a protective measure to some to say they are not, unfortunately.
