Psi phenomena appear to be need-based, suggesting a "requirement" rather than simply a general "desire" or want.

I typically answer this question via my profiling methods, as the methods appear to identify the nature of the source of the anomalous information quite accurately despite the complexities surrounding such a question.

A large quantity of ESP based data has become comprehensible due to memory models in which assume that the systemic source of extrasensory information is somehow localized in the long-term memory. The first sight model helps the parapsychological community answer difficult questions like "why do ghosts wear clothes?" or "how can there be apparitions of living individuals?"

Recent parapsychological research suggests that psychical system (e.g. psychical processes) are both "need-based" and are the result of a normal subconscious engagement with Nature (including reality and all constituents of reality e.g. individuals) beyond our physical and sensorial boundaries. This engagement, termed "psi," void of spatial proximity (distance), can be broken into two main categories (e.g. Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis).

Unstable psychical phenomena can be the result of many factors. One factor can be mental or physical health. Through my years of research I have found direct correlations between psychophysiological health and psychical stability.

The following is a summary of my hypothesis of the mechanisms involved in psi processes.

In regards to psychokinetic phenomena (PK), reports regarding the influence of objects (e.g. air, water, metal, etc.) in a static state is equal to that of reports regarding the influence of objects already in motion.

Studies in regards to extrasensory perception have been subjected to marginalization due to a lacking of theoretical support, but not a lack of repeatable empirical evidence.

Psi ability is viewed as the product of evolution, of the same processes of natural selection that has yielded human beings all other features and abilities. Darwinian Theory has a base explanation for any ability: it serves to help human beings survive and pass on their genes to the next generation. The base explanation here is survival in the biological sense (i.e. the survival of the gene rather than the being).

Continued insistence's have been made over the years in regards to the role of psi as a function to serve the needs of the individual.
