Key words for accessing these things: Self mastery and higher consciousness. The key for those is first of all meditation. Meditation is like the gate to all the possibilities that can be unlocked in the brain. Going from enhancing your skill of relaxing, less vulnerability to fear, enhance skill of remembering to other things such as extrasensory perception. And I think everyone's the same. Of course there are the 'special' people. Indigo children, starseeds, rainbow children, lightworkers, or even people who don't believe in any type of spirituality but still think they have a huge impact to the world. So in a way, we're all the same.
Think this, though it may sound a little rough:"No one is special, but still everyone is." Meaning when you think you're having a bad time, there's someone out there experiencing something the same or 10 times worse. When you think you're the best at something, there's someone alike or better. This is a huge world with countless of living beings. So special is something everyone is. Which sorta makes it un-special(it feels confusing saying that sometimes lol).
