While recognizing psychic powers is sometimes very difficult to master, and unbiased tests are equally hard to create, there are some simple things which might help. First and foremost, one must accept that there are mental energies at our disposal that are quite elusive to define. The fact of recognizing psychic powers is beyond the scope of modern science to prove, although equations and formulas have hinted at their existence for more than a century. One must also be aware of the ways that these energies make themselves known. These are telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis, and precognition. Lastly, allow your mind to be open to recognizing psychic powers; watch and listen to the events which take place.

We do, however, need to spend a moment to examine the doubtful side of recognizing psychic powers. When all other debunking methods have failed, skeptics resort to assigning psychic phenomena to the paradox of Observer Effect. What this means is that by performing the experiment, the results that may be expected are affected, and the usefulness of the experiment becomes tainted, or skewed. This is a philosophical rationale, and cannot be applied to recognizing psychic powers without also throwing a shadow of doubt over ALL of human science. It is tantamount to asking whether a tree, falling unnoticed, makes a sound. There is simply no possible way to resolve a paradox of this nature, and it's usefulness as a logical retort should be considered with great care. No defense can be established against the claim that "it happened because the experimenter expected/wanted it to happen", this is not only irrefutable, but the basis of scientific experimentation to begin with.

Recognizing psychic powers can be a fun pastime, when we realize how common, and how unnoticed, such things are. Have you ever had a song stuck in your mind, and randomly flipped to a radio station just as it was starting to play? Have you reached for the phone to call a friend at exactly the moment they rang in for you? Have you ever turned onto a road you'd never driven down before, and been taken by surprise at how familiar it seemed to be? These are all good examples of how recognizing psychic powers can be an enjoyable way to pass the time. We ignore countless instances of clairvoyance on a daily basis, and joke with friends in recounting episodes of precognition and telepathy. Our modern world has conditioned us to avoid openly admitting these talents exist, and yet they are so deeply a part of our daily lives that we experience them with little or no notice at all. Look around, as you go through your day, and spend a little time recognizing psychic powers in yourself and your friends.
