51- Eleventh – Sense of Clairvoyance
Its effect is perceiving notions beyond human sight, and its place is over the nostrils and behind the eyeballs.
Example: you have a premonition that your friend is sick without having any news or information about it, then after visiting him, you realize that he is, in fact, sick.
Another example is that an individual may see someone without being an acquaintance and find the person interesting. Then, at some point in life, the two people connect. Everyone has experienced incidents like this in their lives.
Another example is that some merchants and entrepreneurs have a good sense of clairvoyance in ordering their goods and commodities that mostly achieve great results.
Another example: you speak of an issue without knowledge and contemplation, later you will find out to be true.
Another example: two speakers say something simultaneously and call it heart connection. They say: "heart speaks unto heart." Connotations are of the same origin, and all are considered the actions of the sense of clairvoyance.
People sometimes feel incidents before they happen. Specifically, they feel unpleasant incidents beforehand and say: "I am worried something will happen," or "I have butterflies in my stomach," and sometimes this feeling may come true, which is a spark of the sense of clairvoyance. Based on this principle, sometimes people feel their death beforehand.
The saying: "Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it," regards this notion.
Evidence and examples of this notion are voluminous, and here is not the place to discuss it all in detail. These are all manifestations of the sense of clairvoyance, and every human being has experienced them in their lives.
Prediction and foresight are with the help of this sense. Someone who wants to concentrate and foresee something squints with an intense gaze to comprehend the task at hand to use the sense of clairvoyance behind the eyeballs.
In our discussions on the senses of thinking, memory, and inspiration, we have explained the three types of knowledge (learned, intuitive, and inspirational). We should mention here that the primary source for intuitive knowledge is the sense of clairvoyance, assisted by the sense of thinking. Another notion is when scientific oracles emerge from uneducated individuals, they are, in fact, the results of employing the sense of clairvoyance (or inspiration).
An indication of the sense of clairvoyance is when you stare into something like a window and then close your eyes for a few seconds, you can still see the window with minor differences with your eyes completely closed. This vision, with closed eyes, is the energy that the scenery has left on the back of your eyes1 .
This sense somewhat exists in humankind even now, but since they are unaware of its principles, they perceive it as accidental and cannot take full advantage of it. However, if people pay more attention to it and train it well, they will obtain better and more favorable results.
The human-made terminology of "the fourth dimension" originates from that notion, which will be thoroughly discussed elsewhere in this book. There is a distinction between vision and the sense of clairvoyance since some blind people employ their sense of clairvoyance. These are all spiritual forces (the spirit that atheist call the weightless and ethereal substance. They may name it differently, but the principle notion is the same).
Biologists say that bats have no eyes, and the reason they can fly at night with such speed and never crash into obstacles or walls is like having a sense of a radar. I believe that if such a thing is true, it is the sense of clairvoyance.
James Watt was a smart young man. One day, he was watching the kettle over the fire boiling. Then he noticed the lid over that kettle was moving due to the steam from the boiling water. This observation stimulated his thoughts and led him towards discovering boilers and principles of locomotion using the steam.
It is because of the sense of inspiration that many inventions and discoveries have emerged.
Through experiments, Galton expressed: "to my surprise, I have witnessed illiterate and uneducated individuals with such real gift of the spiritual force of insight that many scholars lack."
They say:
My dearest who did not go to school and never learned to write
At a glance, he became the mentor of a hundred scholars outright
***
The orphan who could not read the Holy Quran right
Became the seven nations' noble and bright
These notions all regarded the inspirational knowledge.
One day, the famous Avicenna saw people gathered around a man who claimed to have medical capabilities. A woman came to him with a urine sample to diagnose her illness. As soon as the man saw her, he told the woman that she lived in the Jewish neighborhood, had eaten yogurt that day, and had a specific illness. To her surprise, she confirmed all those claims.
Anyone who came to visit this man would encounter similar conversations, which was surprising to everyone.
At night, when the man finished up, Avicenna came to him and asked him about the secret to his accurate predictions. The man took Avicenna to his house and asked him after a short conversation: "Are you not Avicenna?"
After much persistence from Avicenna, the man explained that he realizes all these notions from small signs. For instance, from the way that woman was dressing, he realized she is a Jew, and therefore, she lives in a Jewish neighborhood. Plus, he saw a small residue of yogurt on the sleeves of the woman. Besides, when he saw that Avicenna promptly recognized "The Canon of Medicine" in the man's house, he realized that was him, because only the author of that book has such familiarity with this book.
This story, which is narrated in many historical books, confirms the sense of clairvoyance.
Footnotes
- Stare at a window for some time; then, close your eyes; you will see the object's colors in negative form. In other words, you see white as black and black as white. This notion has an "optical" reason that is not our current discussion. (Third edition, 1969)
