My (first) Outline

Update on my interview: It went very well. I have about 35 minutes of material. Some of it I have to use, some I won't be able to. I can't show it straight thought, there will have to be a lot of editing.

First outline (this is very loose: I don't have a thesis, this is my most basic layout). Additionally, it should be noted that I am writing "section" instead of "paragraph". This is because there will be multiple paragraphs per section.

1st section: What is Clairvoyance?

  • Definition of clairvoyance
    • What is clairvoyance and what isn't (e.g. Oracle of Delphi is not, tarot is questionable, readings are clairvoyance.)
  • How it connects to other forms of ESP
  • Types of clairvoyance
    • Clairaudience
    • clairsentience
2nd section
  • Clairvoyance in history
    • hindu religious texts (clear seeing)
    • Marquis de Puységur
    • Edgar Cayce
    • spiritualistic period in the 19th century
    • Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    • Charles Richet
    • Government funded "psychotronic" experience against the Soviet military
  • Clairvoyance as relates to the history of fortunetelling, soothsaying
3rd section
  • Controversial Clairvoyance
    • J.B. Rhine
    • Fight against science
    • Photographing of auras
    • New Age science
    • Chakras that turn out to connect to real pressure points
