Know about precognition? How can I identify what it is telling me, when other feelings cloud my judgement?

Question

Here is a recent occasion that was a very good example:

I was approaching an intersection on my motorcylcle, and I had the option of two different roads to choose when going home. I initially felt like going straight, then I had a small compulsion to go the other way (right) instead. I then thought I would turn right instead, but I felt like something was "wrong" (like the mild feeling that you have forgotten or missed something, or made a bad choice). Some anxiety followed, but somehow I figured that turning right was the correct choice to make, and that I just have some strange mental problems with making decisions....So I calmly approached the empty intersection, indicating to turn right, hoping that I would have a safe trip, and being extra careful just in case....But as I was coming to a stop, my rear wheel suddenly lost traction and the bike jerked to the side, I bailed out just in time before the bike fell. I discovered a long piece of plastic that the rear wheel skidded on.

Answer 1

You had 2 choices. You were undecided about which to make. You chose one that lead to your having an accident. This is nothing to do with precognition and everything to do with the 50:50 chance that you make the correct or wrong decision.

There is no such thing as precognition. The future cannot signal back to the present by any means. There are only feelings and intuition and good and bad decisions.

Answer 2

next time when you feel this ,go with your first thought or impression,that is one form of recognition

Answer 3

You felt like going straight, then something shifted your thoughts to make a right turn, maybe you were feeling something that was more of a warning to not go right. But at the same time you went right and proceeded with caution. Maybe either way you would have wrecked but the right turn was the lesser danger. And you were warned so you were careful,  you can think what you want but I think you have gaurdian angels and remember not to drive faster than they can fly!

Answer 4

I think we are all missing the way that coincidence registers in the mind.  People are constantly thinking random thoughts all day long.  If the gentleman did not slip, he would not be talking days later about the time that he thought something bad wad going to happen yet everything turned out fine.  I may think of my mother briefly 10 times a day (we are not exraordinarly close, but if you think about it, many of us think about out parents all the time) lets say once every two months she calls at the exact time that I am thinking about her.  My reaction is usually " wow mom, i was just thinking about you, you must have felt it and called me" without realizing that the last 599 times I thought of her she did not call. this is also hoe psychic like john edward operate, they know that they can miss 99 times out of 100, because their hit will always make the readee forget the misses

Answer 5

The anecdote that you presented isn't very clear, but the question that you asked initially is clear to me.  How can you determine if your intuition is actually precognition or if it is a random thought that is coming into your mind and clouding your judgement?  There is no easy answer to that question.

If you believe that you are having precognitive instances, you need to test your instincts.  I'm not recommending that you test them because I don't believe that they are happenning.  I am recommending that you test them in order to differentiate the true precognitive impulses from the random thoughts in your mind.  It is only through practice that you will be able to develop the skills to recognize the difference between random thoughts and your precognitive instincts.

One way to practice is to use a deck of cards.  Try to determine the suit of each card that is turned.  You have a 1 in 4 chance on each card (roughly).  You may find that you're exceeding chance in your predictions.  Be sure to record your results to review later.  If you exceed chance, try guessing the value of the cards using the same techniques (1 in 13 chance).  They try guessing the suit and values together (1 in 52).  If you find you are getting more right than wrong, you are probably learning to recognize a precognitive impulse rather than letting your thoughts rule your decisions.

This is only a small start, and it will take time. There is no guarantee that this will be successful, but it may help you to find your way to take the next step in the process.  Good luck!

Answer 6

I read through this and really what it boils down to is that it was one trial where you had one of two choices to make. One trial where the chance is 50/50 isn't evidence of anything, regardless of the feelings you might have had beforehand. Come back when you've correctly predicted 20 out of 20 trials (or even 10 out of 10 will do), and then we can talk about precognition.

Answer 7

First of all, your story is confusing me. You say you felt like turning right, yet, when you finally made the decision to turn right, your bike skidded on a piece of plastic, indicating that was a bad choice, right?...so can you explain what exactly you are trying to say? I have read this a few times, and don't want to give an opinion until it's more clear. Thanks

Answer 8

Precognition: The knowledge of something that may happen in the future

Premonition: The feeling that something is going to happen before it does.

Random Psychic Intuition: A psychic experience that comes at a time when it is unexpected and usually unwanted.

Intuition: The ability to know things that are not related to conscious reasoning.

In my honest opinion it sounds like it could have been any of the named meanings, although I do not know because I am not you.

Ways in which you can improve any of the  meanings above is first to start to trust your own  intuition, if you feel that somethings isn't right do the opposite, and always always go with your gut instinct, in certain situations you must follow your heat, but never heed what your gut instinct is telling you. There are a few tests that I have taken from a book that have helped me to determine if I have abilities, and I will post a few here for you, this book is also good for helping you "boost your innate abilities."

This is a quiz that takes just a few minutes # a piece of paper to 20,

and put a check next to each if it has happened to you.

1) Are you generally aware of other's people's feelings?

2) Do you ever get a sense that you are part of the universe?

3) Do you often know what other people will say before they say it?

4) While walking outdoors have you sensed something watching you?

5) Out in open country, have you felt something did not want you there?

6) Have you been out in a wild space, and felt the place protected you?

7) Do you get butterflies in your stomach when you are near someone?

8) Do you get the same butterfly feeling in a location?

9) When you walk into a place for the first time can you sense the

atmosphere?

10) Do you really know that the world could be a place of peace and

love instead of starvation, and wars?

11) Have you walked into a place and felt a shiver or a sense or a

presence?

12) Do you ever "hear" people's thoughts?

13) Are there people that you do not like to physically near?

14) Have you ever had an encounter with a spirit of any kind?

15) Have you woken up to feel a weight on you when nothing physical is

there?

16) Do you get a sense of wonder and love just by being alive?

17) Do you have vivid dreams that you feel may have really happened?

18) Do you look into the eyes of someone who is hurting you, and see

their pain?

19) At night do you close your eyes and see eyes, faces, or human like

creatures?

20) Have you ever felt your body has been on a journey without you moving?

Now add up the total # of check marks.

This next part is a grouping of #'s and this will give you a general

idea of what type of psychic you are or will become.

1 3 7 8 12

You are an EMPATH

The ability to literally feel for someone else is a finely tuned

empathic sense. it gives you the psychic ability to "read" a person's

aura, and interpret the information back to him or her. It can bring

you amazingly close to others: you can sense their true emotional

needs with unerring accuracy, and people may be drawn to you like

magnets. But avoid absorbing other people's problems, as it is easy to

get burned out.

2 10 16 18

You are a CHANNLER

Accessing information and?or energy from a higher level of

consciousness is often called channeling. There is no sense of contact

with an individual entity, rather, a connection to higher spiritual

forces. Whatever your age, you are viewed by others as "an old soul"

and will be sought out for the spiritual insight that you've built up

over many lifetimes.

11 14 15 17 19 20

You are a MEDIUM

If you've been aware of an unseen presence, or have seen a ghost, you

could be mediumistic. You also may have felt the presence of angelic,

or earthly spirits, which act as guardinas to you. You can look into

other dimensions such as the astral worlds, or the "spirit" world.

This vision is a rare gift.

4 5 6 9 13

You are a SHAMAN

As you are vividly aware of nature and the spirit of animals, plants,

and trees, your style of psychism is shamanistic. You derive a highly

tuned sense of danger from your instinctive link with wild animals:

this is a great asset-your intuition literally saves lives. You can

sense impending danger in all situations, wheter it's on the sidewalk,

in traffic situations, or in the workplace. You may also have natural

healing ability-an innate sense of what will harm or help someone who

is ill.

ASSESSMENT

2 6 11

I hope this at least helps you a little bit.

Answer 9

So,next time you have a bad feeling about taking that right,or something,act on your intuition and go back ,and go straight!!!

Answer 10

Precognition?

Well apart from the facts that

(a) no known evidence supports it, and

(b) it would break several laws of physics, and

(c) anyone who could prove even the teeniest weeniest bit of precognition could get one million dollars, and

(d) no-one predicted 9/11, and

(e) no-one predicted the death of Princess Diana,

I really can't imagine why some people don't believe in it.

But my own precognition indicates that there will be lots of believers out there, so it must be true, since I've pre-cognitted it....in fact, I'm beginning to believe that George Bush is an alien....and that crop circles are carved by abominable snowmen....and that ghosts and hibgoblins shot Kennedy....and that man has never walked on the moon....and that the Jews - well - they just had heart disease, or something....oh, and 9/11 was a controlled explosion....
