Then there's spirit beings, or other dimensional beings, who watch, giving info to readers through 'telepathy'. There are readers who are expert at reading the readee's cues, manipulating, or doing research, etc. Then there are those who say they have a 'spirit guide', who tells them things.
The I-ching, reading entrails, tea-leaves, seeing images, hearing voices, 'playing in the zone', are all possible examples of connecting to one's own subconscious, reading the collective subconscious, or getting help from spirit beings.
Then there's the theory of the Akashic records - a space-time dimension where a trail of events, & maybe even thoughts & emotions, are left (etched) in this plane, as they occur. One can access this trail through certain senses.
Then of course some believe the Holy Spirit can reveal any info through one's spirit.

Of all of these, connecting to one's unconscious mind seems the likeliest to me. My take on the collective unconscious is that, sure, members of the same species have similar brains, bodies, experiences, feelings, etc. The jump to World Mind is too much of a leap of faith for me.
It does seem likely to me that minds can be read, to some extent. I picture it as a type of transmission, like a radio wave, but (currently) undetectable by science. I also think it likely that future events can, to some extent, be foreseen. Again, inexplicably.
What seems most plausible to you?
