The term precognition can be divided into two parts of ‘pre’ and ‘cognition’ which jointly means acquiring knowledge prior to its happening. That is, if a person can predict something which occurs in reality later, he/she is said to possess the psychic power of precognition. Precognition is said to be the most commonly found psychic power in the world.
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.
Precognition and its practice has been in existence since ancient times when spiritual people living in the mountains could perform miracles and predict all future events. It has been common and popular throughout religions and cultures transcending down to the modern day astrologer doing the same. The popularity of precognition stems from mankind’s innate desire of knowing about what future holds for him.
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 have been having dreams which have come true, or experiencing knowing about something before they happen, then you might have wondered whether you have any sixth sense or is it the work of coincidence. In answering this question, you can use the oldest and most popular technique of the Zener Cards to assess whether you possess psychic powers, and if yes, then to what extent.
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.
In case you are aware of your power of precognition and want to work on it to improve, then the best strategy is to start with small day to day self practices. Thus, you may roll a dice and predict its outcome, predict the caller when the telephone rings, predict the outcome of a match, debate or a movie, so on and so forth.
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.
