Precognition (or Prophesy): have you ever known something was going to occur, before it happened. I know from other threads that many people here have had occurrences of this occurring. I would like an ongoing thread to capture some of those events and also allow some contemplation on what that implies for the nature of time as a non-linear dimension.

Many years ago I saw, before it happened, a trivial event (damage to a new car at a car wash). I told myself it was a foolish fear, but the thoughts were bombarding my mind. It was absolutely clear to me that there was no statistical way my mind could have anticipated a real event occurring. Thus I believe that sometimes we are given glimpses of the likely future. If course, if I had listened to the voice telling me it was dangerous to put my car through the car wash (the same car wash my old car went through hundreds of times, since it was free with a fill up), the event could have been avoided. I do not believe there is a fixed future. Yet if an earthquake is immanent, then our foresight could lead to a different outcome for those involved, though probably a person with this vision would not be listened to.
I have had many other subtle experiences where I was offered guidance in my mind as if a sentient being or force that transcended time were offering advice: I work on hearing and listening.

I get those precognitive thoughts and feelings all the time and it does seem like somebody or some thing is giving them to me...like they are trying to warn me of what might happen to possibly give me an opportunity to avoid it or change it. I have learned to listen to those feelings over the years. The main question that I have (besides how is it possible to see the future before it has happened) is who or what is sending these precognitive warnings? God...aliens...guardian angels? Some unseen force is definitely trying to guide us, but who and for what purpose?

I'll share a few of them now and then more later when I have more time. :)When I was 15 my "psychy" was going haywire. I couldn't stand it and I'm glad it's not that bad anymore. One of the incidences involved a woman while I was in California. I knew that she would show up at our apartment at around 5 a.m. in the morning having a problem which she never did before. Sure enough, I waited up all that night knowing she would be there and it happened. Another involved earthquakes. While in California I knew most of the time when a quake would hit. I still get this feeling at times before some major ones happen, but not all. Some volcanic explosions too. Lois gets these too(earthquakes). She's the 1st person other then myself, that Ive known to know beforehand. When Pepcon exploded in Henderson, Nv. I knew also that an explosion or something involving a tremendous force was about to take place and immediately following the factory blew up. It was equivalent to a 10 kiloton hydrogen bomb. That's all for now,,,,,,,,,,, gotta go

When I lived in CA I also would sometimes know when an earthquake would be coming. If it was at night I would either lie awake or wake up with the feeling that there was a tension in the air or an intensity present. Then the little shaking would happen, then I would be able to sleep. If it was during the day and I was busy, I would not be aware. Fortunately none were sufficient to bounce me off the walls and only a couple were strong enough to be scary.
Yes, who or what presents precognitions to us? -- Big Question, very worth contemplating.
One train of thought: I have also considered that the universe itself is an entity, thus transcending aliens or guardian angels, it could have a personal relationship with us minor aspects of itself. If our bodies and plants and animals are cells of the Living Earth's body (a conscious being?) and the Solar System is a cell in the Milky Way and the Milky Way is a cell in the Universe, then all that is: is Living Consciousness. The concept of the Living God, not as entity, but as super-conscious unity of all that is.

i believe precognition is a warning... i've had a few of those myself... mine does not come in visions or dreams... but, it does come in strong feelings i can't shake... an example is a car accident i had a few years ago... i kept having a feeling i was going to be in an accident... for 3 days i tried to shake this negative feeling' but couldn't... i kept asking for white light protection...one day i was dropping my son off at a friends house and was pulling out of a parking lot when this truck came out of no where and smacked into me.... luckily, no one was hurt ... just my car... i remember the sense of relief i felt when it was over... because that feeling went away instantly... very strange... had i decided not to take him to his friends house that day it would never have happened...

When I was a chi.d I experience this more then than I do today.. sometimes it is in dreams and sometimes the thought just comes. I always knew before hand when my grandpa's car would be coming over the hill to visit us. Even when my Mother would say he is not coming today Lois.
Explain this one to me. My son one night when he was about 12 years old sat at the kitchen table. It was late . The rest of the family was in bed. No interruptions or anything to take you concentration away from you.
Some one had been playing cards all evening. Could of been me or just my kids. Now I don't recall. So the cards were still on the table while we sat there. He said Mom, I will look at a card and you try and tell me what my mind is thinking. I remember the first five cards still today. Queen of spades. four of hearts,, ten of diamonds.. three of clubs.. seven of hearts. This went on and when we got up to about 45 cards I had missed only one. I think three in all is what I missed out of the whole deck. It was not that I knew I could just read his mind.
He could always read mine... He is the only one who seen my green beam also. That had been a couple of years earlier when he was ten. He seen it after I dragged him to the window. But he only got about a 2 second look at it. This is when he ran to the door to see it take off and I would not let him go out as I realized right at that moment it was going on four am. I just looked up and seen the clock as he ran to the front door. That clock I still have and it still runs. I put a Photo of it on facebook once and told it was the same clock.
He also could read my mind. We use to play a game . Think of something and my four kids would guess what I was thinking. My oldest seem to get it right more than most. I remember one time I would make it hard so I thought back to a tv show I knew he would not know. I thought Oh he would not know The Ed Sullivan show. I keep thinking Ed Sullivan for about thirty seconds and he asked .. Who is Ed Sullivan??? I thought Wow!! how did he do that, He just laughed and said I just keep seeing the name written in front of my eyes. The other kids laughed and said you told him Mom somehow. I said yes I did with my mind. But people don't usually have the ability to do this.
I typed three lines and cannot get back to the bottom so if it shows up in the post, it should follow the above. This happens all the time on here. My bar is at the bottom and will not scroll down any more. When I back up and try to go to the end of my post it will not take me back.. ha ha
I do not know if this means anything but his looks is the spitting image of myself. None of my other children do so much.
When he was in the army in German in the early 80s he would write home and tell me things I know I had not written to him. He called from Cape today around noon. He was out jogging. I was sitting drinking a tea at the table. the thought came to me. I have not heard from Allen lately. Then the phone rang and he said were you wanting me to call? lol lol
I told him yes of course.. you already know that. It is hard to recall the past 48 years but there is so much more. He just turned 49 in April . I will be 69 a week from Sunday. So it has been a lot to try and remember. So if we can do this I know the aliens can let me know about earthquakes for sure. The first time I felt a earthquake coming it was the night of a telepathic message. But then I knew not where it came from. My mind alters and it takes on a feeling which has no way to describe it. . I knew something was coming in the sky out back before I even seen the object I taped. I had that mind altered state. Never told it as it sounds so corny. .

My husband worked at the high school back in the late 70s. He had tons of keys on his hip. It unlocked a lot of doors at the school .. He ask us once when we were doing one of are games. How many keys do I have? I tried to visualize them all hanging on his hip with my photographic memory. I thought about it for a short time and my son and I yelled out to him from the dinning room table. My husband was in the living room.. Our exact words came together. 36 keys. I either picked up the 36 from him or he me. My husband counted them . He says 36 right on the money.

There is so much more than the mechanical view of things. Once a friend and I tried ESP cards. I think there were five symbols, Circle, Square, Triangle, 4 dots, and check mark. He read the card and I read his mind. We got 19 of 20: the one missed, I said square, he was having trouble keeping the four dots in the corners.

The concept of the Living God, not as entity, but as super-conscious unity of all that is. That's possible. Maybe the universe is what we think of as God and all of the energy flowing through it is his soul. Or since everything is made out of energy maybe we are just images on a giant computer screen and god is sitting up there typing at the keyboard telling us what to do. I sometimes like to imaging god and the devil playing a video game with us as the players. They sit up there competing with each other and trying to influence and control us while we run around like a bunch of little pac men going through the maze and trying not to get caught.

Sunbow .. Conscience unity of all that is .. yes that is how I would describe it also. We are all a part of it. We are joined as a whole as this mind is in everything that walks and breathes . . and is a living conscious. You put this very well, thank you.

Lois, you're amazing! It's always interesting to read your stories... seriously! Psychic stuff has happened to me a lot and I've posted about some of my precognitions here on other threads but I'm just not feeling up to posting them again just now. Maybe later...

www.theepochtimes.com/uplift/neuroscientist-discusses-precognition-or-mental-time-travel_2362702.html Neuroscientist discusses precognition—or ‘mental time travel’By Tara MacIsaac, Epoch Times / November 22, 2017 There are rules of the physical world that don’t apply to the mental world. You can fly in a dream. You can imagine a squirrel talking to you. The realm of dreams and imagination is, however, often thought of as self-contained. It has no tangible bearing on the world at large. Precognitive dreams have taught Dr. Julia Mossbridge otherwise. “I think that precognition is a kind of mental time travel into the future to get information,” she said. “We’re just so used to applying the rules of the physical world to the mental world that we don’t really get it that there are different rules. That’s a different domain.” She continued: “The separation that we have between people in space and the separation we have between events in time in the physical world, who says that has to apply to the mental world?” Precognitive dreams suggest the mind doesn’t follow the rules we usually apply to the physical world, says Mossbridge.Mossbridge is a cognitive neuroscientist. She has been working with physicists and psychologists to figure out the rules of mental time travel. Her book, “Transcendent Mind,” co-authored with Dr. Imants Barušs, was published last year by the American Psychological Association. Having a major scientific institution publish this book is a significant step forward for the many scientists who have seriously studied precognition, a “shared mind,” and other phenomena that suggests the mind exists beyond the brain. Mossbridge’s personal experience with precognitive dreams started her on this research path. She said that one such dream, “knocked my socks off.” Mossbridge had a dream that accurately predicted an event in great detail.At the time she had the dream, she was going through a divorce. She had a 5-year-old child and didn’t know where they would live. She thought of an area where she used to live and thought it would be nice to return there. In her dream, she called a landlady in the area that she knows. The landlady told her she had a two-story rental property. The upstairs unit had been recently refurbished and was already occupied. The downstairs unit was being refurbished and would be ready in two months. The landlady said she could show Mossbridge around the upstairs unit so she could get an idea of what the downstairs would look like when finished. If she were to sign the lease right away, she could pick the color of the paint. In waking life, after the dream, Mossbridge didn’t call the landlady; she ran into her instead. But every other minute detail of her dream came true—the two-story property, the refurbishing, the two months until the bottom floor would be finished, picking the paint color, all of it. “People both have dreams that seem mundane and dreams about things that are really important in their lives. Precognition works that way,” Mossbridge said. “But I’m kind of starting to get convinced that the things that seem mundane are not. That they’re more like signposts in your life. You don’t recognize them as important events, but later you go, ‘Oh yeah.'” For example, the first precognitive dream she remembers was one she had as a child. She dreamed that her friend lost her watch on the playground, and it really happened the next day. It was a mundane event, but looking back on it, it seems important to Mossbridge. The watch represents time, a topic that would be central to her studies later in life. As a scientist, Mossbridge asks herself whether it’s confirmation bias. In science, confirmation bias generally refers to interpreting information in a way that will confirm a preexisting belief. A meaningless dream could become “precognitive” if you look back on it and intentionally search for connections to events in waking life. That’s why Mossbridge tests these things scientifically.

You’re just making conversation because you just found out that he can mow.... and maybe it would be nice to have someone else occasionally mow your own yard... Next time you see this friend, she tells you that a neighbor asked her son to mow their yard (out of the blue because of an injury). No one thinks about it but you (if this sort of thing happens quite often, what is it??).

A lot of my writing is based on particularly strong dreams. I of course smooth the edges but the central idea remains as is/was. I also wrote about someone who I fell in love with (in the story). I was walking in the mall (an inauspicious place to have anything supernatural happen IMO). Suddenly someone came up beside me and walked with me. I didn't turn and look but knew it was him. I felt cared for at that moment. Later I was gifted with two more books. I have signed on with a self-publishing firm Tellwell and publishing all three as a trilogy under one cover. Stayed tuned as I make my way through this process.
