Predicting my Friend's Death: Precognition
I have had several experiences of precognition. One of these occurred with a former patient of mine. She was standing in the doorway of my clinic saying goodbye when I suddenly had a feeling come over me that she wouldn't be safe driving. This was accompanied by a brief vision of a highway with some kind of traffic problem. I told my patient—who was also a very dear friend of mine—to be careful driving, (something I normally never do). She kind of nonchalantly said she would, so I told her again—with emphasis—to be careful driving. She said, "I'm always careful driving." That was the last time I saw her alive. Less than a week later she had been killed in a car accident.
I'm not happy about this being the most powerful premonition I have had to date, but there it is.
What does science say about this? Research done by Dean Radin and reported in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (2004) showed that humans have precognitive abilities. This was demonstrated by placing measurement devices on the participants skin to test the level of electrodermal activity (EDA) before certain types of photographs were displayed. Radin found that the subject's EDA increased before violent, erotic or accident scene pictures as compared to landscape, nature or scenes of people. In other words, the test subjects showed a physical reaction to "emotional" pictures before they even saw them.
Radin's research reinforces the findings of Charles Honorton and Diane C. Ferrari published in the Journal of Parapsychology, December 1989 on Forced choice precognition experiments. A forced-choice experiment is so called because the subject is "forced" to choose between a limited set of possible targets, usually five Zener cards. Here's what Zener cards look like.
The trick is to guess which card out of five will come up before it is actually known by anyone what the card is going to be. Honorton's and Ferrari's report on a meta-analsis of 309 forced-choice precognitive experiments showed that precognition is real. So, we really can predict the future. Trust your intuition.
