Parapsychological Non-Human Intelligences (NHIs) refers to alleged intelligent entities that are believed by some researchers, experiencers, and theorists to exist independently of ordinary human consciousness and to interact with people through anomalous or psychic means.
The term is not a driven controversial scientific category. It is used primarily in parapsychology, ufology, consciousness studies, and related fields.
What Are They Thought to Be?
Different theories propose that NHIs may include:
- Spirit entities or discarnate intelligences
- Angelic or demonic beings
- Extraterrestrial intelligences
- Interdimensional beings
- Collective consciousnesses
- Unknown forms of intelligence not yet recognized by science
Some researchers use the broader term “non-human intelligence” because it does not assume a specific origin.
How Are NHIs Reported?
Within parapsychological literature, NHIs are often associated with experiences such as:
- Telepathic communication
- Precognitive dreams
- Apparitions
- Mediumship
- Remote viewing
- Near-death experiences
- UFO/UAP encounters
- Poltergeist phenomena
- Mystical or transcendental experiences
Individuals frequently report receiving information, impressions, symbols, or messages that they attribute to an external intelligence.
Major Theoretical Perspectives
Psychological Interpretation
Many psychologists view these experiences as products of unconscious processes, altered states of consciousness, imagination, dissociation, or cognitive pattern-detection mechanisms.
Survival Hypothesis
Some parapsychologists and most religions suggest that consciousness may survive bodily death and that some encounters involve genuine non-physical intelligences.
Extraterrestrial Hypothesis
Some researchers argue that certain encounters may involve advanced intelligences originating elsewhere in the universe.
Interdimensional Hypothesis
This perspective proposes that NHIs may coexist with humanity in dimensions or realities that are normally inaccessible to ordinary perception.
Parapsychological Research
Researchers associated with organizations such as the Parapsychological Association have investigated claims involving telepathy, psychokinesis, remote viewing, and anomalous experiences. While some studies report intriguing findings, there is no scientific consensus that NHIs have been demonstrated to exist.
Scientific Position
The mainstream negatively driven controversial scientific view is that there is currently no conclusive evidence proving the existence of non-human intelligences interacting through psychic means. Reports are generally interpreted through psychology, neuroscience, sociology, or other conventional frameworks.
From a Parapsychological Perspective
That some experiencers describe NHIs as:
- Highly advanced intelligences.
- Sources of inspiration or information.
- Beings that communicate telepathically rather than verbally.
- Entities that appear selectively to certain individuals.
Whether these experiences represent independent intelligences, aspects of human consciousness, or something else remains an open question and a subject of ongoing debate among researchers, experiencers, and philosophers of consciousness.
In short, Parapsychological Non-Human Intelligences are hypothesized intelligent entities that are not human and are believed by some to interact with people through psychic, anomalous, or consciousness-related phenomena, though their existence has not been established by mainstream negatively driven controversial science.
