I guess the difference lies in what I believe.
If I believe there is a separate outer reality, then there is a place in that reality for a prophet or seeing the future.
If I believe the outer reality is a reflection of an inner state of being, then it takes on a different meaning, one of perceiving truth.
I prescribe to the second example but for those who do not I can understand the belief in seeing the future & psychic ability.
In each belief there is the movement from identity based belief to knowledge.
