Question Author
It’s so interesting to read everyone’s comments and with every argument/debate it brings the for and against answers, each opinion valid for that person without a doubt and those comments reasonable to read. However, what I find a little disconcerting is the fact that some people who don’t experience whatever the debate is about, will dismiss the knowledge of those who have had it happen to them. It’s like me saying that the puma/big cat/rare bird (whatever) you purport to have seen in the field/garden wasn’t there and you made it up even though you KNOW you saw what you claim to have seen.
I cannot decipher nor prove that any premonition or foresight I’ve had is there, I cannot touch my thought processes I don’t think it’s possible at all for any scientist to touch them either so things of this nature IMO can’t be proved by scientific methods unfortunately. I would love them to be to show that these things do happen and that when they do it would enable people to understand more about the future if events that come about sometime hence have been “seen” at a previous time.
I guess it’s one of those events that either you’ve had it happen or not and those who haven’t won’t be able to understand those who have and of course it bears relation to one’s own beliefs on a subject. I think for me the most significant one was my friend’s sisters death because I actually wrote it down days before and it’s not something I usually do, I didn’t make it up, the thought came into my mind, was very strong and days later it happened. Sorry to those who don’t believe it, you are entitled to your opinion and it’s great to read them.
@ Ratter, most people who have these "thoughts" don't go around telling people because why would you, they are thoughts, I don't see them that that are definitely going to happen. If you experienced it you would know that it's something akin to you thinking you will go to the shop and you doing it or not doing it or any other of the 1,000's of thought processes you may have during the day. You wouldn't list them down, we take them for granted, but then on the odd occasion something you have thought later came true...that's all it is for me but some are more significant than others - I can't explain it. As for the god thing...ah...I'm not religious at all so can understand you on that...<smile>
