Concepts (3)

  • Clairvoyance Clairvoyance is the purported paranormal ability to perceive information about physical reality through extrasensory means, distinguished from telepathy by its direct perception of external reality rather than mind-to-mind transmission, and the operative phenomenon underlying the U.S. government's STARGATE remote viewing program.
