Question

Can anyone explain to me the "Gift Of Precognition"?

Answer 1

For me..it happened when I didn't realize it..and I didn't realize it until the event happened. When I started trying to "practice " it or "use" it...it was awful. I thought that just about anything that came into my head was going to happen. That can drive you nuts and make you very paranoid. I didn't have anyone to teach me or guide me. Make sure you don't try to do this on your own. .or you'll just look crazy and spend your life worrying about the future and trying to warn people who won't listen.  I think there surely has to be some special "sign" or something so you can tell the difference in what is a precognition and what is just your thoughts...but I don't know what it is..so I just try to stay away from it now. Be careful about getting into church groups that tell you that everything you think is from God. From experience...I know it isn't.

Answer 3

Precognition (from the Latin præ-, “prior to,” + cognitio, “a getting to know”) denotes a form of extra-sensory perception where in a person is said to perceive information about places or events through paranormal means before they happen.[1][2] A related term, presentiment, refers to information about future events which is said to be perceived as emotions. These terms are considered by some to be special cases of the more general term clairvoyance.

Those skeptical of the existence of precognition and other forms of ESP believe it to be the result of fraud or self-delusion and contend that selection bias is the cause of the belief that one has precognition where individuals remember the "hits" and forget the "misses". Skeptics contend that the human memory naturally has a tendency to remember coincidences more often than other non-coincidences and thus individuals tend to remember more frequently when they were correct about a future event and forget the instances when they were wrong.[3]
