Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

The Truth About Premonitions

By Mel Decourcey

Do you think you have had a premonition before? How is it that some people know when things are about to happen before it even occurs? Is this just a gut feeling that things are not right or is it paranormal? Scientists have not ever believed in premonitions. They only believe in things that they can prove are facts. They do not believe even though there have been numerous events that have been foretold in a premonition or a feeling prior to it actually occurring.

Do We See the Future?

Ian Stevenson, a biochemist in Canada and a psychiatry professor, has a very prominent example of recordings of premonitions. Two weeks prior to the Titanic devastation he was able to record over nineteen different premonitions from his patients. Each premonition included something like visions of people canceling their trips because they felt that something bad was going to happen and even some dreams that people had of the actual disaster.

Nearly every person that has had a premonition has said that it was not pleasant at all. They tend to come with a terrible feeling of fear and an overwhelming sense of being uneasy regarding the coming events. It is common for people to know that something bad is about to occur but not know enough to make a difference.

Premonitions occur much more often than most people understand. The subject of the premonition is typically surrounding something or someone that will affect you. The premonitions come about in multiple ways. It is sometimes a dream, sometimes a feeling. It is sometimes called a sixth sense.

The premonitions that are seen or felt are often surrounding a death, a murder, a plane crash, a robbery, or an accident. The incident happens, typically, within a few hours of the premonition. Dreams can cause a very negative emotional mark on a person that has a premonition. They are not able to communicate the level of dread that overcomes their emotions.

There are also dreams that leave nothing to question as to what will happen. They are very clear and the person that is having the dream actually witnesses something happening to someone that they love whether it be a family member or someone else that they are close to. It can be extremely upsetting to have a dream like this and it is usually something that is blocked from their memory to protect themselves. They may be able to put it to the back of their mind until the event actually occurs.

Could the premonitions be coming from somewhere out of this world? A premonition is something or a feeling that you see as if it is a dream. It is usually brought forth by a fear of something that you feel is about to happen, even if you do not know what or when. They are related to our senses.

Could it be that things are happening in another dimension and we are seeing it in a premonition? It could be that when we go to sleep we are actually seeing the things that are happening in the other dimension. The theory of astral projection may just fit with this explanation.

Is it so far fetched to believe this could be happening? There are many who have been ridiculed before for believing in something that at the time seemed impossible. How many people do you think actually believed that man could go to the moon? Had this been discussed in certain times, people would have believed the person who thought this was possible had lost their mind.

How Do You Explain These Premonitions?

Do you think that because things are not as we would expect them to be that we should not consider them at all? As we look back in the past we see many instances of people having a premonition and have recorded it. A good example of this occurred with Abraham Lincoln and his premonition about his own death. He had a dream ten days prior to his own death that he was with a group of people that were in the East Wing of the White House mourning the death of someone. He spoke to a nearby soldier and asked who had died and the solider said it was the president.

Have you heard about the book that was written in 1898, Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan? This book was written 14 years before the disaster of the Titanic. The book was about a ship called the Titan, which sank in the North Atlantic. The ship struck an iceberg - the ship had three propellers - it did not have enough lifeboats - it was the same size as the Titanic - all uncanny characteristics of the Titanic even down to the name.

Morgan Robertson is the author of the book. How is it possible that he wrote about such an experience that would come pretty close to true fourteen years down the road? No matter if you call them visions or premonitions, the events of the book are very similar to the Titanic that actually sunk. Is it possible that the author had a premonition of the event and decided that he would publish it in a book?

It is something that may never be understood. Things unfold from the universe and mysteries are solved in their own time. It is not possible to predict when a premonition, or vision, will be shown to someone.
