A "Rational" explanation for psychic/psionic abilities

For what I'm working on, humans (some humans, anyway) develop the abilities to communicate telepathically, move things with thought, possible premonitions, maybe psychic projection (but that might be a little too far out for what I have planned) and I'm looking for an explanation to how these abilities work.

However, it's very important that in this work no one thinks of these abilities as magic or a gift from the divine (no humans, a certain alien species that clings to some of their superstitions might). I've considered explaining psychokinesis as the person manipulating a possible "fifth force" (not what Obi-Wan was talking about, just sayin') nobody knew existed until now, but that likely wouldn't work for telepathy or precognition- any ideas for what would?
