Has it ever happened to you that you dreamt about a family member meeting an accident and then it happened in reality in a matter of few days? Or may be smaller instances like you knew that you will come first in class and actually you did? In case your answer is yes, even if the scenarios don’t match, chances are that you have the psychic power of precognition to some extent. Precognition, coming from ‘pre’ and ‘cognito’ simple means having prior knowledge before its occurrence.
Usually a person preconceives something a day or two before the incident occurs. However there have been many instances where precognition has taken place many years before the actual event. The subject of precognition more often than not is seen to be negative in aspect and linked to people the individual is intimate with. That is, the prior knowledge about the death of a loved one, or a vision or a dream about a family member or friend meeting with an accident, etc.
Since time immemorial precognition has existed across religion and cultures. Starting from ancient spiritual preachers being able to predict future incidents, oriental monks performing dream yoga to astrologers forecasting future life events of a person, so on and so forth. Man has always been interested in knowing what future has in store for him and that is the sole reason for the popularity of precognition.
The two words which precognition is confused and used alternatively with are those of premonition and prophecy. But it must be stated that while premonition refers to just the feeling or sensing that something going to happen, prophecy is just a subset of precognition. Thus all precognitions are not prophecies but all prophecies are cases of precognitions.
If you are one of those who have experienced many a times that what you have said or known has come true later, might want to know whether you truly have the psychic power of precognition or have they been instances of coincidence. One of the oldest and most extensively used test available both online and otherwise is that of the Zener Cards which one can undertake to assess his/her psychic abilities.
The Zener Card test comprises of testing yourself with the help of this deck of cards where each card carries a symbol. One card is removed from the deck and you are asked to predict its symbol. You go on doing this till the entire deck is finished and then the test generates your score. Developed by Carl Zener and Dr. Rhine’s algorithms, this final score reflects whether you have ‘no ability’ ‘some ability’, ‘significant ability’ or ‘very significant ability’ in precognition.
In case you have come to know about your precognition abilities and want to develop it further, a good thing is to start with small self practicing techniques in day to day activities. Thus you can start practicing by attempting to predict the outcome of rolling a die, a cricket match, someone’s examination, 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 must be concluded that precognition is a psychic ability, the possession of which is a rare thing. Many people consider it to be a curse especially where they come to know about negative incidents beforehand. But it must always be remembered that having this power is a gift and not a curse and it should be honed and developed to be put to use in helping other fellow human beings.
