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?

Frequent headaches in general are tension headaches. Other times, frequent headaches are the result of taking too much over-the-counter (OTC) medications.

Precognition - What Is It? Can Anyone Develop These Powers?

By Jo Case

The concept of precognition is interesting to those who believe there are aspects of the world which we do not see clearly or know everything about. If you believe there are things out there that most people cannot see with the naked eye, chances are this concept is appealing to you as well.

Precognition is the ability to sense or to know things before they happen and if you have ever experienced it, there is a good chance that it is fascinating to you. While some people can access it more easily than others, precognition seems to be something that all people are interested in.

Those with the power of precognition have the power of knowing or seeing the future or present before it actually transpires. For these people, their precognition can be as clear as if the events are happening in the moment at current times. It is as if the future and current times are playing out for them in the past. They are that certain about what is going to happen.

There is a great variety in what types of information and knowledge different people are able to learn through precognition. While there are some people who have the power to predict some of the most devastating and startling events to occur in history, most people pick up on little bits of information such as where each item might sit on their dinner plate before it is actually delivered to their table.

Precognition often happens just as an empowered person lies down to sleep, though many others may experience their powers at different times of the day or night.

So, why would most people have their precognition moments while falling asleep? It all comes down to the science of the mind. In order to learn the type of information revealed through a moment of precognition you need to be mentally open to it. While most people's conscious mind will block out this knowledge, when they are going to sleep that conscious mind slips into sleep while the more open subconscious mind remains very alert. This creates a more open mental state where precognitive dreams can take place.

When you first start having moments of precognition it can feel very erratic and uncontrollable. The person experiencing the information or flashes of insight may have no control over when it occurs and they may feel unable to make the occurrences stop. It's sort of like the sudden flashes of inspiration that an artist or novelist experiences. There are times they want that magic to happen but it simply won't, and times when they want to turn it off but are unable to do so.

Then as you become more practiced and more experienced with things, you will be able to summon up that sort of insight when you need it. It is much more controlled and it is much easier to use. Interestingly enough, you will find that precognition works in much the same way.

Take a moment and consider whether you have had anything in your past that would have pointed towards precognition. One experience that many people have is that they will be thinking about someone and then a few moments or a few days later, they will receive a call or a letter. On one hand, skeptics will dismiss that coincidence, but when you think about how often it happens and when you think about how strange it would be if it were merely coincidence, you'll see that there could very easily be a case made for being able to tell the future.

This should not be confused with deja vu, which is more of a nagging sensation of having been there already, but rather something that looks forward to the future.

So, what makes precognition happen? This is something that is not clearly understood and which has not been proven, though there are many theories out there. For instance, many people believe that our concept of the world as a place where time passes in a straight line is inaccurate. They believe there is more of a cyclical nature to the world where things repeat. Other experts in the field believe that it is our reliance upon the five basic senses that leads to our being blinded to much of what is actually around us right now.

When you think about your life and the impact that moments of precognition may have had on you, chances are you have more of these powers than you ever realized. If you find this area of knowledge interesting, consider how you may already have some powers of this nature and explore your opportunities for making them even stronger.
