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?

Precognition - A Basic Understanding

By Sharon Maughn

The term precognition refers to the ability to gain knowledge about events that are going to happen in the future. The word has its roots in the two words of 'prior to' and 'cognito which means acquiring knowledge prior to its occurrence. It is one of the most commonly found psychic powers and also the most popular.

Tracing the patterns of precognitive occurrences, most of the times it is seen to happen a day or two prior to the actual incident, but there has been many instances where precognition has taken place years before. Moreover, almost all the times it happens in relation to something negative and emotionally shocking like that of knowing about someone dying, a loved one being ill or some natural disaster.

Man has forever been interested in precognition. Starting from the ancient prophets to modern astrologers, all are involved in the process of predicting the future which man so desperately want to know.

Precognition as a concept is frequently confused with the concepts of premonition and prophecy. It must be noted that prophecy is a kind of precognition, but that all precognitions are not necessarily prophecies. Moreover, premonition refers to having a feeling or sensing that something is going to happen as against precognition which is absolute knowledge about the same.

If you have experienced knowing about something or having a sudden vision or a dream which went on to happen in reality or even smaller things like being able to state who is going to call, or the outcome of a match and you've secretly pondered whether you have the psychic power of precognition or not, you can test yourself to be sure once and for all. One of the oldest tests of precognition is that of the Zener Cards which you can also avail online.

Developed by Carl Zener and Dr. Rhine, this test consist of a set of cards each having a symbol on it. The process involves removing a card from the deck with you attempting to predict its symbol. The process continues till the time the deck gets depleted and thereafter your scores are given. Based on the algorithms of Dr. Rhine, the scores reflect whether you have 'no ability' 'some ability' 'significant ability' or 'very significant ability' in precognition.

If you come to know that you have the psychic power of precognition and want to develop it further, then start with self practice in day to day matters. For example, roll a die and try to predict its outcome, try to predict regular matters like who will come to your house, who will call, outcome of a soccer match, etc.

Progressing further, if one wants to really develop precognition abilities for being able to control and use the same, meditation needs to be made an integral part of life. Meditation is the best technique to be aware of your true self and develop control over your subconscious and all its powers. Attaining a state of deep trance ceases perceptions from all peripheral sources and helps focus the mind in one direction of precognition.

It can be concluded by saying that precognition is an ability that only a few gifted people are born with. It must never be considered a curse and must be developed and used for the betterment of others.
