The study of or belief in capacities, experiences, or phenomena that exceed normal human functioning but
may not be supernatural—enhanced perception, exceptional intuition, mystical experiences, heightened states of consciousness. Supernormalism suggests that human potential
may be greater than
average performance suggests, and that some people occasionally
access capacities that are latent in all of us. It'
s the position that the "normal" is not the limit, that extraordinary experiences may reveal possibilities rather than pathologies, and that human nature includes potentials rarely actualized.
"She knew who was calling before looking at the
phone, every time. Supernormalism says: not psychic, not supernatural—just a capacity some people have,
maybe latent in all of us,
maybe trainable. Supernormal, not paranormal. Beyond average, not beyond nature."
