My thesis was based on the transmission of photographs with passive/active content. The pilot study was shocking in its affirmation. With a pilot i hit statistical probability in a larger study (only a hundred or so) no probability was found.

I had read of startling work done in Australia with >10,000 subjects and positive results. The usual reactionary types dismissed it out of hand and said that statistics would need to be reassessed why? Because it might threaten their materialistic world?

I had another thought - why do we always seem to assume that this is precognition ie pre-knowing a single future. Is it possible that we can feel several futures and select the one we wish to move into?

In one of Rupert Sheldrakes books he mentions The Standing Wave Of Probability - roughly put this means that every cell moves towards a future which it has seen in a future quantum state. Organisms like humans built out of billions of cells may have greater abilities collectively to see slightly further into the possibilities that are in front of us in time.

It seems like normal people have the subconscious physiological precognition. I wonder about outliers. Could there be people that are more aware. Or training, don’t some monks gain control over normally unconscious physical processes through meditation and training?

Perhaps! There are also interesting instances of dream precognition, or a dream relating to a future event that sometimes happen with normal people.

Actually I’ve had few of those dreams. All that I recall from my childhood. All were just single snapshot moment, no context. The one that convinced me they were definitely precognitive (but not useful) was a dream were I looked down into a box filled with small flower bouquets, they all had funny plastic handles on the back and lots of tiny daisies around roses.

A few years later when a friend got married I was a bridesmaid. I had that moment happen. I find out the day of the wedding that bridesmaids bouquets are attached plastic handles, and my friend didn’t like babies breath and had it all replaced with tiny daisies. They were all delivered in a cardboard box.

We are more than our limited, mechanistic Western materialistic point of view posits. But our Western, materialistic approach can discover that fact, and separate out myths from truths about it. So, the integrated mind embraces both, IMO.

“It is important to note that these types of responses to future events measured in the body are unconscious responses. This means that the subject (human) isn't aware that these responses are taking place. It's a form of precognition, but not full-blown conscious premonitions as one would usually associate with precognition.”

In the book, Living Dharma, Teachings of Twelve Buddhist Masters (“Thai forest monks”), by Jack Kornfield, one of the Masters describes the awareness of watching the “inclining of thought” before it arrives. I scanned the dog-eared pages but, unfortunately, couldn’t find the exact passage. The book is anyway one of the greatest Buddhist books on Vipassana teachings I’ve encountered (…read p. 152 on the rapid sequence of mental states and matter and the arising and falling away of knowledge).

There is the seen, the unseen, and the scene. The scene is the false reality pulled over your eyes to blind you from what is.

All the world is a stage.

Arjun! I remember either this article or a similar article from years back. Changed my whole view. Long story short, there’s more to our materialistic reality than we know.

Thanks for the share my good man! Wishing you all the best 🙏🏾💪🏾❤️
