Prescience. Do you get it?

[builder]

I often get "flashes" of portent or prescience, meaning little warnings that simply pop into my head, or a dream that indicates a different path to the one I'm following.

 

Example: driving home from work, a voice tells me to "watch my speed", so I slow down, and three blocks further on, I see a cop pointing a speed gun at me.

 

Another example is not about a voice or message, but I'm crashing through the scrub, walking fast, and I simply stop withou thinking about why. I look down, and my next step would have seen me stepping on a snake.

 

Do any of you people get the same kind of non-rational impulses? I like to rationalise situations, but this kind of issue is seemingly on another plane of consciousness, or maybe subconsciousness.

 

I don't know what to think of these "messages". Do we have an insight, or second sight, that we are not fully utilising?

 

Some people I've talked to about this issue claim that it's my guardian angel warning me.

 

What do you think?

It's called dumb luck.

If your speeding you should slow down. If your walking around where there are snakes by all means keep an eye out for them.

[skategreen]

I get this all the time.

 

I find when I listen to it, when I pay attention, the same type of thing happens. When I ignore it, I end up shaking my head with some type of regret.

 

You know what else I find? The more I listen, the more I pay attention, the more it happens.

 

I put it down to and ability - "knowingness". and the cause? Well, then we jump over to "religion" - we're spiritual beings with abilities. If we cultivate them and practice them, they improve. If I remember to acknowledge it and pay attention, it happens more often - the ability "seems to improve". (maybe I'm just paying attention)

 

I can know who's calling, who wants to talk to me..how someone far away is doing. Not all the time, not always reliable - but startling accurate quite often.

 

I can also find "lost things", whether I've lost them or someone else has. It's also an ability - is it merely an extension of knowingness? Dunno. I sorta "feel out there" for where it is. Then I get, "it feels like it's over here/there" ... look ... and often - find it! (used to joke with Ex- "the uterus is a homing device, which is why women can find things) I have found things in very oddball places for people - just by "feeling that it's over there"

 

Also, I can "find" or "pull in" what I need. I decided I needed a picnic table, 2 days later a neighbor 6 houses down puts one out with sign on it, "picnic table, ten bucks". This sort of thing happens all the time - if I remember to decide "I need it".

 

(it hasn't yet worked on "I need the lottery numbers")

 

That's my take on it.

 

Take a look buildy, can you also pull in what you need, find things?

[builder]

I get this all the time.

 

 

That's comforting. I was beginning to think that I was some kind of phreak.

 

I find when I listen to it, when I pay attention, the same type of thing happens.

 

Open the door, and things happen.

 

When I ignore it, I end up shaking my head with some type of regret.

 

Yeah, I could kick myself sometimes.

 

You know what else I find? The more I listen, the more I pay attention, the more it happens.

 

Yeah, you open the door, and it keeps coming in. I swear it is a part of the brain that gamblers and stock-brokers use all the time. The rest of the population say that prescience is like astrology.

 

 

I put it down to and ability - "knowingness".

 

And I put it down to information and past-life cred coming to your mindset.

 

and the cause? Well, then we jump over to "religion" - we're spiritual beings with abilities.

 

Like I said above. Spirituality from a past life.

 

If we cultivate them and practice them, they improve.

 

I'm not a cow. I'm a human being. LOL. Values are more important in western society, right about now, than ever before. We are under the microscope.

 

 

If I remember to acknowledge it and pay attention, it happens more often - the ability "seems to improve".

 

I like that. The more you tap the knowledge source, the easier the flow comes. Bravo, Skater.

 

(maybe I'm just paying attention)

 

Maybe you're switched on, rather than watching fox noos while munching cheeseburgers?

 

I can know who's calling, who wants to talk to me..how someone far away is doing. Not all the time, not always reliable - but startling accurate quite often.

 

I get that too. I don't have caller ID because it costs heaps, and I use my cell phone all the time. The landline is compulsory if you want a decent broadband package.

 

 

I can also find "lost things", whether I've lost them or someone else has.

 

I'm not kidding when I say that a voice tells me when I'm getting "warm" in the search for keys in the morning.

 

It's uncanny how the locational radar works. I've tried to rationalise it, but I can't.

 

 

It's also an ability - is it merely an extension of knowingness? Dunno. I sorta "feel out there" for where it is.

 

I get some kind of radar happening, where I feel a "pull" in the centre of my head, and walk towards the pull. It's a handy tool indeedy.

 

 

This "ability" must not belong to the masses, because it simply does not swing with most plebs.

 

Is this because of doubt on their behalfs? I used to think that spacial planning was a natural abilty, until I scored a job building hi-rise.

 

Then I get, "it feels like it's over here/there" ... look ... and often - find it!

 

I get tangled up between my rational reflective side (builder), and my spontaneous wondering side (stormin).

 

(used to joke with Ex- "the uterus is a homing device, which is why women can find things) I have found things in very oddball places for people - just by "feeling that it's over there"

 

Psychics are thin on the ground, Skater. We should start a site. No doubt.

 

Also, I can "find" or "pull in" what I need. I decided I needed a picnic table, 2 days later a neighbor 6 houses down puts one out with sign on it, "picnic table, ten bucks". This sort of thing happens all the time - if I remember to decide "I need it".

 

That also is uncanny, Skater. You put out what you need, and it comes in on time. I understand exactly what you are saying there.

 

(it hasn't yet worked on "I need the lottery numbers")

 

Hard-earned cash will work for you. Pennies from heaven will ruin you.

 

That's my take on it.

 

I appreciate your effort,Skater. Thanks.

 

Take a look buildy, can you also pull in what you need, find things?

 

Meh, I tore it apart. Hope you don't mind. I'm online so rarely these days, I would rather address one post properly, than slam/jam twenty.

 

Thanks Skater.

Although I can't recall any particular instances, your story reminds me of something that happened to my mother when she was a child. She went swimming with her sisters and they kept telling her to jump in near a little spring/mini-waterfall area. Even though she had gone dozens of times before she kept hesitating to jump in but couldn't explain why she was having this gut feeling. Finally as she was about to force herself to do it, she saw a nest of water moccasins bobbing out of the water immediately next to where she was about to jump.

 

Do any of you people get the same kind of non-rational impulses? I like to rationalise situations, but this kind of issue is seemingly on another plane of consciousness, or maybe subconsciousness.

 

I wish I did. If so, I'm not in tune with it or don't realize it.

 

I don't know what to think of these "messages". Do we have an insight, or second sight, that we are not fully utilising?

 

Anything is possible. Maybe some people have a stronger sense of lurking danger than others?

 

Some people I've talked to about this issue claim that it's my guardian angel warning me.

 

What do you think?

 

Again, it is possible. Perhaps you just more aware than the average bear. I have uncanny intuition but just can't recall any particular instances at the moment.

[skategreen]

You tore it apart just fine.

 

and I AM paying attention..so what's with this? You "quote" me in your response, to something I sure as hell didn't say in my post:

Were you toying with me, or did something else happen to the posts whilst I was away?

 

I've been known to use the words, "masses" and "Plebs" but not in this post!

 

........

 

I do think everyone has all the abilities, and that it's just a matter of paying attention, practicing, and also - not being dulled by drugs, booze, meds, lack of food/sleep.

 

.....

 

Lemme tell ya about one of my favorite "pulled it in".

 

Back when I first started teaching Kindergarten (1987) I suddenly had a brain storm and decided I wanted a Spirit Duplicator. In the 70's these were really big in schools and everything was "run off" on them. (as opposed to photocopiers) they were very ooooold school.

 

On the next break I went and told my senior, the current Lower School Head, that I wanted to get one and described all the ways we could use it, how much fun it would be for the kids. Her response? "oh, you can't get those anymore, they don't even make them I think, you'll never find one".

 

I said, "oh SURE I CAN!! It's easy, you just look in the 'Buy -n Sell', they have EVERYTHING there..."

 

(the B&S was a classified paper, sold for a buck and a half or so, people could advertise anything in it for free - only businesses paid - very popular- garage sale ads, cars, trucks, furniture, computers, etc etc. It was about 100 pages or more of ads. A big thick booklet published weekly. A forerunner of Craigslist)

 

There was a Buy 'n Sell in the break room. I grabbed it, and demonstrated, I told her, "you just open it up, and look, and there it is!", and as I was saying this I was opening the paper, flipped it open at random, and just pointed down at an ad, without even looking at what I was doing.

 

(yeah, yeah, you're already there aren't'cha? You know what happened?)

 

Yep.

 

Out of 60 pages or more, out of thousands of little classified ads..I was pointing to....

 

an ad for a Spirit Duplicator.

 

 

"50.00, works well, comes with paper and gallon of spirit"

 

Penny, my boss lady, was floored. So was I.

 

I actually found 2 ads in the same section and my Petty Cash request met no resistance - I think everyone was floored by the story of how I found them. We used those machines for a zillion things over the next ten years. Kids loved them, all the teachers did...

 

and I loved how I got them.

Start lookin out for it, pay attention, and I betcha a dollar that you see it happen within a week.

 

Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I'd swear that it's just a matter of noticing and listening.

What do you think?

 

I think you are The Sentinel.

 

Also, I knew you were going to start this thread.

[Ahhlee]

I get vibes or feelings about things, people, places and events about to happen quite often. I'm usually accurate and have learned to trust my instincts because of this.

 

You can laugh, but I've always thought I had a very diligent Guardian Angel.

[snafu]

I think this is bullshit. You guys only remember when your instincts were right. When something that you were thinking might happen,doesn’t, you just disregard it.
