Psychic Powers? What are they really?

I once read that if your interested in psychic powers, then you may actually have a little. It's an interesting thought, and it got me going as a kid. Of course I'm interested in having psychic powers! Why wouldn't I be? And because I'm interested and looking it up, then I may actually have some? That's righteous! Well as one get's older we stop believing in pretty much anything we can't buy, so for most people, physic powers goes right out the window. But I don't know. There's so much amazing stuff out there. So many little facts about the world we live in that no one would ever imagine. What is a sixth sense anyway. How do we know there's trouble around the corner before we get there? How is it that we can tell when someone is staring at us, or following us? Instinct is what we call it, but what is that really? Soldiers are trained to hone that sixth sense, and many a life has been saved because of it. So maybe we do have some psychic powers lurking about. Maybe there's some merit to talking to dogs with your mind. Well… maybe.
