Anyone know the difference between psychic and supernatural abilities?

Anyone know the difference between your mind in
its own awarenesses and outward abilities of induced
from, psionics. I mean Buddha found enlightenment,
but that didn't mean he altered states of matter and
used pyro-psionics and such.

in my opinion PSYCHE power drive from the sub light particle deepcharger but with no sound waves vibration
about the SUPERNATURAL POWER this drive form the sublight particle deepcharger and transform into a sound waves vibration that what make it contact with the material or anything which is compact states e,g rock,wood,metal,or even the fire or the wind

I would say there probably isn't too much of a difference between the 2. But that supernatural can be on a much more grand scale.

I believe that if one can influence a persons thoughts, or actions or simply control a situation with only your mind, yet do something that shows what you are 'controlling' it with just your mind- like keeping a tree from falling on top of someone by adjusting the direction it falls in with your mind- would be considered supernatural.

I believe supernatural abilities reside much deeper then psychic abilities and tend to come out during a life or death situation, whereas we can have a more controlled *daily* visitation/familiarization of the psychic abilities. Which makes it much easier to tune them up or understand them, or even for someone else to eventually get used to ie; spouse, friends, coworkers etc..

When someone does something supernatural, they often reflect by thinking "how in the...? "Did I do that"? "There's no way"! and same for those who witness the act of supernatural abilities from another. It's a knowing without a doubt that something miraculous just happen, but the immediate thought enters in to the normal skeptical, disbelief of the human brain. Our brain is the biggest skeptic I tell you! If only our brain would believe what our minds are capable of doing, we might live a more balanced life and combine the power of the two..

Gee, I wonder if I gave an opinion or just spoke in circles..

just because your enlightened and you dont use your so called "powers" doesn't mean that you dont have them. for instance, im sure that anyone enlightened will know that they need not perform such things as there is simply no need to. kinda makes you think on why when compared, jesus apparently physically performed these miracles, and buddha merely talked to those who approached him and helped them to change themselves. just a thought, that's all.

well,

the thing is, just about everyone has them.

as a kid it is much easyer you to use them becouse you arnt brainwashed

as you grow older it seams most of everyone loose it becouse it is drilled into you that it isnt real

Magestica....Ypou are right on.

I believe that our mind has HEAPS of power to do things, many thing, all it has to do is believe truelly that it can be done and whatever you want/were thinking or wanted doing could happen, just say like you want to move a ball just by using your mind, i think you can do that if you truelly believe you can. But deep down in ur mind ur skeptical mind is thinking to itself...no way...and there is doubt in the mind, and that is why you cannot move the ball with your mind.

But if oyu can truelly get your mind to believe without any doubt, then anything is possible.

Yeah. A few months ago I was having a ton of trouble adjusting to some inherent gift making itself known, because I refused to just accept the reality of it. My mind thought something was wrong with me, but it was just sort of a growth spurt. Once you shed your prejudices and disbelief against such things, they seem to manifest themselves more.

In my opinion, being psychic is like being in training. You're still working out the kinks in the process.

When you get to the supernatural stage, training is completed.

The short, quick answer....

Psychic: You know your abilities...
Supernatural: The abilities are readily apparent to others...

Hello. I have recently experienced multiple occasions where I "see" things that could happen, and then they do. I don't try to, it just happens. I have been trying to figure out why, and this seemed like a good place to start. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you look at it,

Psychic abilities come from the "psyche", which basically means the abilities of your "psyche" or your inner mind. You can think of them as "mental abilities which everyone has" but only few people can really use them. We might not have the FULL explanation for these abilities but we know SOME of them!

Supernatural abilities are beyond the mind's perception. Things that not everyone can have, like resurrecting the dead, contacting aliens, walking on water, invisibility, etc..

That's at least how -I- think of them!

Everyone who's posted appears so informed and erudite

My contribution will therefore appear pretty amateurish, I realise

but I'll post anyway, because surely there are lots like me out there


So ... if 'you' can accomplish 'it' (whatever 'it' might be) .. doesn't that mean it's a natural ability ? Not 'supernatural' or 'supranatural' or 'paranormal' or any of the other terms ?

In some instances, 'it' might occur spontaneously, i.e., naturally

Whilst at other times, you may have sought the experience/achievement and may have worked to achieve it.

But regardless of how it occurs, if you experienced it, isn't it natural .. normal ?

What might we use as examples? Ok. Let's cite precognition (accurate, proven instance of precognition I mean). Or a ghost sighting (proven, validated with the ghost having later been identified). What would you call those ... psychic experiences ? Some might term them 'supernatural' or 'paranormal'. However, whether spontaneous occurrences or worked-for, the fact remains that you experienced them. Without the natural ability to experience them, you'd be just another hopeful on a ghost tour.

Or, we might look at psionics (I favour the Chucky Cosimano approach by the way). If you're able to rid your home or backyard of insect pest which had previously been decimating your tomato plants, then surely it was your own natural, inherent ability which did the work .. with the psionics instructions harnessing those abilities to advantage. But the emphasis (mine, I admit) remains upon 'natural, normal'.

Could you train a horse to bark like a dog ? I don't know. No matter, because even if you could, that horse would still be a horse. Becoming a dog is not natural to your average horse. So, training (and study and application, etc.) can only achieve so much.

So, as regards the question, ' .. the difference between psychic and supernatural abilities' .. for me, it's all the same: natural. And I believe these abilities are a natural, normal element within all of us. With some it comes to the fore more frequently, more noticeably .. but it's there, even within those who claim not to have a psychic bone in their body. At least that's my thought.
