Maybe. However, I think there is a genetic component to psychic abilities. It may well run in families. I am a Gaelic Celt and the Gaels have always spoken of people with the "second sight". My late Irish grandmother had it since she had powers of precognition or foresight. Even I have it to a slight degree since words or numbers spring into my mind before someone even utters them. But then I am also an identical twin, a group of people who are claimed to have greater natural psychic abilities than the average, e.g., telepathy (all I can tell you here is that genuine pain transference from one twin to another is real since I and my brother have experienced it first hand more than once even when we were not together!). My youngest daughter also had the ability to see ghosts as a child. She found it highly disturbing. As she grew older the gift, if that is what you can call it, faded no doubt to her relief. Maybe she is just better at ignoring it now though.
I recall Laura mentioning that she knew of people who had an inbuilt gift for staunching blood flow. It was a natural gift because she said that some of these people were pretty unsavoury characters, drunkards etc. There is certainly an ancient history of gifted women in Celtic Cornwall who had the inherent ability to staunch the flow of blood from wounds, a handy skill in the days before modern hospitals and emergency services, without the need for medical equipment or torniquets. They would often be called to the scene of an accident to practice their craft. Whether this practice has died out now due to modern medicine, I do not know.
Although scientific studies into paranormal abilities is something that has largely been ignored by the western scientific establishment, that is not the case in the East where such scientific studies have been undertaken particularly in Russia and China. I am sure this is a topic that has been dealt with before on the Forum so I have no wish to go over old ground here. It makes sense though that with 8 billion people on this planet there will be those few who have inherited paranormal gifts through their genetics that were once probably widespread amongst our distant pre-Flood ancestors.

… after all, at the least, they bring good humor, which is always welcome and necessary. Next it is another C’s last final message:
