History is replete with people having precognitive abilities. People have relied on precognition since the ancient times, with the ancient Greeks having full faith in their prophets and oracles. The ancient wise men considered the future as immutable. However, it is known that information received through precognition has saved many from the disasters; by changing their prior plans.
Understanding Precognition
Precognition is the form of ESP that is the easiest to test in a laboratory, though it is quite difficult to understand. In the early 20th century, a British aeronautical engineer – John William Dunne, undertook to study precognition systematically. The study followed the precognitive dream he experienced in 1902 of the eruption of Mount Pelée, Martinique – which occurred the following day.
This, and many other precognitive experiences, made him realize that he was seeing the future. He soon found out the precognition was quire common in people, though they did not realize their importance.
Joseph Banks Rhine and Louisa Rhine, too, systematically studied precognition at the Parapsychology Laboratory at the Duke University, in the 1930s. Starting to prove telepathy, they landed up with revealing precognition and psychokinesis (PK).
In majority of the cases, precognition involves events such as deaths, illnesses, accidents and natural disasters, etc., and in more than 80 percent of the cases, it involves someone intimate, such as a spouse, a member of the family, or even a friend with close emotional ties. In a few cases, precognition involves strangers and casual acquaintances, and oddly enough, one does not perceive one’s own death – though it has known to occur in very rare cases.
Six weeks before he was assassinated, Abraham Lincoln did dream of his own death. He saw his own body lying in the coffin in the White House. Two other American presidents – John Garfield and William McKinley – are also known to have known about their deaths, through precognition.
Precognition And The Future
There have been cases where precognition had not supplied enough information – as in the case of President Lincoln – to have allowed him to change the future. This is precognition of the unchangeable kind.
People are known to have changed the course of their future by receiving changeable precognitive dreams. It is well known that many people, after precognition, cancelled their plans to travel on the Titanic, and saved their lives. Others, who did not heed the warning, perished.
