Kimberley A. Lombardi is the owner, founder, and author of Paracognitive Arts & Intelligence (PCA&I)—and the originator of the term Paracognitive Theorist. As both architect and practitioner of this emergent framework, her work arises from a lifelong sensitivity to symbolic structure, dream logic, and the unseen architectures of pattern that shape human experience.
Long before encountering names like Da Vinci or Edgar Cayce, Kimberley was already navigating knowledge through resonance, nonlinear synthesis, and intuitive intelligence—operating within a mode more often associated with prophetic intuitives and visionary polymaths. She would later name this capacity paracognition—a form of pattern recognition and meaning-making that lives outside conventional analysis, yet within a disciplined system of inquiry.
As a Paracognitive Theorist, her aim is not to reduce the unknown to fixed truths, but to articulate ethical, field-responsive methodologies for engaging the liminal with clarity, care, and philosophical rigor. PCA&I stands as the living archive of that commitment.
Her insight does not emerge from institutional templates—it is honed through lived experience, study, observation, and countless hours in the field. Kimberley operates from what she calls a paracognitive orientation: a perceptual framework that privileges symbolic resonance, ontological complexity, and multi-layered sense-making. This capacity—once unnamed—became the foundation for PCA&I: a system that honors patterns too emergent for empirical tools alone, yet too precise to be dismissed.
Her perceptual gifts began in early childhood, marked by spontaneous spiritual communication and deeply symbolic dream states. These early experiences matured into a robust paranormal research practice spanning two decades and over 80 international investigation sites. Supported by her fiancé and a trusted inner circle, she has conducted research that bridges spiritual nuance, intellectual rigor, and field-tested ethics.
With professional training in physical therapy, skilled nursing, grief psychology, and end-of-life transition care, Kimberley brings the esoteric into dialogue with the somatic. Her early participation on Christian deliverance teams—rooted in Catholic charismatic healing—shaped her understanding of spiritual discernment, humility, and responsibility. While her personal cosmology has since evolved beyond formal tradition, she honors the structure of that training and would respond in alignment with it should a serious case of spiritual crisis arise.
Her work is not purely intuitive—it is lived, layered, and grounded in applied analysis. She holds deep respect for scientific method and maintains the importance of responsible skepticism and verification. For her, the ability to debunk without derision is essential. Curiosity and clarity are not opposing forces—they are companions in the pursuit of honest inquiry.
Kimberley lives with CPTSD and has survived two near-death experiences, both of which catalyzed a profound recalibration of her perceptual capacities. These events became not endpoints, but initiatory thresholds—inviting her into deeper access with liminal states of consciousness and insight.
As founder and architect of PCA&I, she continues to build an original lexicon, operational protocols, and philosophical scaffolding for a field too often trapped between spectacle and dismissal. Her work is for those who feel the edge of reality press back—and are ready to name what moves there.

This space doesn't follow the same lines as PCA&I, but it echoes the same spirit: pattern recognition, edge-walking, and the power of perception. It's not required reading—just a portal for those curious to see how else my mind moves.
