Claircognizance is a form of intuitive knowledge where a person gains insights or information without any prior learning or reasoning. This ability allows individuals to know things instantly, often described as a "knowing" that comes from within. It is considered one of the psychic abilities, alongside others like clairvoyance and clairsentience. People who experience claircognizance may receive sudden thoughts or ideas that provide clarity on a situation or answer questions they did not consciously consider. This phenomenon is often linked to heightened intuition and is believed to be a way of tapping into universal knowledge or collective consciousness.
