Are you familiar with that very popular movie line "I see dead people"? If you can recall, this was from the Hollywood hit, The Sixth Sense. In the that movie, Bruce Willis portrayed the role of this dead guy who didn't even know he was dead. Can you imagine being that child with the psychic ability to see the spirits of those who have passed on? Yes, it's nerve wrecking perhaps. But then, the sixth sense is a psychic ability, and a psychic power is supposed to be a gift that gives you an advantage over everyone else. But is the sixth sense an advantage or a disadvantage?

Generally speaking, every normal person has five senses. These are the sense of sight where ninety percent of our learning takes place by seeing, the sense of hearing, the sense of smell, the sense of touch and lastly, the sense of taste. But what is this so-called sixth sense?

The sixth sense is a very rare psychic ability. Referred to as ESP or extra sensory perception, it is the psychic talent or skill to transmit and receive information outside the five human senses. The sixth sense often uses what is known as the "third eye". The Third Eye is located between your eyebrows, in the center of your forehead.

Compared to any other psychic ability, the sixth sense is more complex and very rare. It is actually a psychic gift composed of five other psychic talents. These are the skills of telepathy, psychometry, clairvoyance, retrocognition, and precognition.

At a closer look on these five abilities, Telepathy is the ability to communicate mind to mind, a person can communicate with anyone through his mind with no verbal or written communication needed. While psychometry refers to a unique ability wherein you can learn the history of any person, object, or place, just by touching it. On the other hand, Clairvoyance allows a person to see things regardless of location. The last two gifts are retrocognition, which is the ability to know the past through visions and feelings; while precognition is to knowing the future in the same way.

Generally, the sixth sense is a psychic ability that is more than just seeing spirits and other paranormal entities. It is a special psychic power that allows you to communicate, touch, and hear, what other people cannot.

However, we cannot deny that seeing the unseen can send shivers down the spine. But then, the gift to sense what others cannot gives you the power to bring about greater good and make a difference.

Just like any psychic gift, the sixth sense can be enhanced. A person needs acceptance, meditation, and positivity, in order to hone the full potential of this rare ability. The bottom line is, the sixth sense is a psychic blessing. Being able to sense what others cannot is a big advantage. Why? It is because it gives you the chance to make the world a better place.
