CLAIRAUDIENCE :
(Singular & Grouped-Clairaudient / Ability-Clairaudience)
The word Clairaudience means 'Clear Hearing'. The psychic ability to hear voices and other auditory phenomena not present to ordinary hearing. Such voices may be subconsciously generated and externalised in auditory perception, or they may be objective but pitched on such an auditory scale or vibration as to be inaudible to most people.
Clairaudients have been known throughout the ages since biblical times. The enigmatic Joan of Arc began her mission in response to voices heard by her alone; while the voices that Williarn Cowper, the eighteenth century poet, heard in his later years, affected his life and influenced his poetry. Clairaudience can be either spontaneous or experimentally induced, and in parapsychology the ability is regarded as part of extrasensory perception. Books have been produced that are apparently received and dictated entirely by clairaudience.
The word, Clairaudience is French and is used to denote the faculty of supranormal hearing, that is, the perception of sounds, voices and music not audible to normal hearing. The phenomenon occurs in mystical and trance-like experiences - shamans, prophets, priests, saints and mystics throughout history have been guided by clairaudient voices, usually interpreted as the voice of God, angels,spirit guides or some other spiritual or divine essence. The ancient Greeks believed that Daimons (Demons), intermediate beings between human beings and the gods, whispered advice in the ears of men.
The Bible contains many episodes where God sends messengers to prophets and kings, and throughout history certain famous men and women, are recorded as seeing visions and hearing voices of angels. Messages from the dead, perceived using the faculty of clairaudience, were a prominent feature of spiritualist seances.
