Default Thinking things before they happen

Ive had this random ability where I can see things before they happen but only a few seconds ahead. I also say random because it seems to only happen occasionally and without me trying to make it happen. I haven't really taken note of how often it happens. For example; the other day on the radio they had a competition where for some reason they would call out a number. When the segment came on, a random number popped into my head but I didn't really feel any 'excitement' about it. When it got within maybe 3 or 4 seconds of them calling out the number, the random number in my mind disappeared and another number popped in to my mind. The difference this time was that it was like the number in my mind was surrounded by flashing lights as if it were on a huge billboard being made as noticeable as possible. This new number matched the number called out on the radio. I often have random numbers or predictions of things coming on the radio etc. (I listen to a lot of radio at work) and mostly they are wrong as they were really just an educated guess in my mind but the few occasions that ive had this 'highlighted' number or prediction, they have always been correct. Can someone tell me what this means and is there some way I can develop it?

Yes, it can be developed. It's just psychic ability. There are a lot of books on the subject on how to do better at it.

Hi Craig and Niggle, In my humble opinion Psychic abilities boil down to confirmation biases and selective thinking, basically an individual that claims to be a Psychic has a talent to notice and look for things that confirm their prior beliefs and assertions, while ignoring the overwhelming evidence that contradicts their beliefs.

Watch this video of a Psychic failing miserably on TV, notice her cold reading techniques, it becomes so obvious once you go through the rich skeptical literature out there: Pyschic Char Margolis fail on WGN Morning News - YouTube

Hi Niggle, thanks for sharing your experiences.

Please take Sniffy's opinion with a pinch of salt. There is indeed the possibility that you are remembering the hits and forgetting the misses, but since you have already suggested this is not the case, I would say that you may have psychic ability. Like you said, the question is - what does this mean?

There's a theory (just a theory, not really tested yet) in parapsychology that these kinds of experiences are down to 'retro-causation' in the brain, something like the future influencing the past. In your case I would guess that it is some kind of short term memory in reverse so to speak. Under normal circumstances, you remember something after the event happens. However, for some reason we don't really understand, the brain can 'remember' something before the real-world event occurs. For example, your flashlight image of the number is an internal memory caused by an event in the future, that event being your experience of hearing the actual number on the radio.

If this theory is correct, there is obviously some reason why it is a relatively rare experience. Parapsychologists and physicists are trying to figure out why. It's recognised that the mathematical formalisms used in fundamental physics are 'time-symmetric' meaning that you can have solutions that run forwards and backwards in time. Apparently, this may be an important clue. The problem is that physicists haven't yet observed causation running backwards (but parapsychologists, and people like yourself, may have done). If you're interested, there's a paper about this theory here:

http://www.uniamsterdam.nl/D.J.Bierm...JPfall2010.pdf

I found it interesting that your correct images are qualitatively different to plain guesswork. Can you expand on that at all?

Sniffy, that 'psychic' on your video was just awful. If they were all like that I'd agree with you. She got it all wrong and obviously did alot of cold reading haha. I'm actually undecided about John Edward, as he did put himself forward to be tested and sometimes he comes up with things that are freakily specific. Him doing the foreword for that woman's book concerns me though...

Niggle - interesting episode of through the wormhole on just that. I think they basically theorized that as the next moment in time gets closer it can send out impressions ahead of it. Its a good show.

Default increase

I've noticed my ability to have these instances increase depending on a few things:
What's going on in the sky, what you surround yourself with, where your head is at, and what you focus on.

I've noticed an increase in psychic abilities whenever I don't have any hard aspects to my natal positioning of Mercury, Moon and Neptune. This is when there aren't any other planets at directly 90 degree or 120 degree angles to my natal positioning of them. (you can look more into astrology when it comes to this, there are different planets configurations that can help lend a hand at psychic ability and others that tend to muffle or block the ability.

-Note also, astrology is a verifiable thing, although not well known in the scientific realms and not credited by the mass convention very often. Although those with satellites know that different positions of planets tend to cause their equipment to malfunction.
(I can post some of the evidence pointing toward this if anyone is really curious.)


I also notice an increase in these moments when I surround myself with positive, and well balanced people. Or people who just vibe with my better half. It seems the 'vibes' they put off tend to help me stay on my own positive path. With a clear head, and without disrupting people around to knock you off your path, I think it helps immensely.

Where your head is at, really ties in to all of it. If you're not in a stressed out discordant place, you may tend to be able to break through to hearing your inner voice and the messages coming to you all the time.
(Although in times of stress you can have important moments of intuitive break throughs at the most harrowing and important moments.) I think though that the moments of intuition that break through such cloudy muddles, and stressful moments come from an already strengthened ability from before. Or else a breakthrough moment coming from something that must have built up subconsciously over time.
It's like working a muscle.
Focused conscious intent, as well as clear headed meditative emptiness help build that muscle.


What you focus on ties in with what I said previously as well.
I've noticed an increase in the ability to remember dreams the more I talk about them with (willing ) listeners, and especially writing them down. Through this process my dreams have become more lucid, more memorable, more detailed and frequent. And that way I have been able to record dreams that I later find out were precognitive.

Using tarot I find also helps. (But be careful to only focus on God, or higher wisdom to help you, not strange entities.) The quantum mechanism involved with connecting with the energy of your answer, the intention involved is exactly like the psychic process. That same 'muscle' is being stretched and worked.

Also, write down your experiences, and you'll start to get a feel for what they are like... you may start to get random thoughts popping up that you pay more attention to, which in turn, you later decide to take note of, and find out that it was a precognitive thought.

Hope this helps!

I think it might be similar, but my father can often predict loud noises about 2 or 3 seconds before they are heard. Throughout my life he has been able to say, "there is going to be a loud noise." And seconds later there is. It can be anything from thunder to an unexpected crash nearby.

It's always been this odd thing about him, but not very useful, other than to keep him from being too startled, I guess. No explanation, really. It just happens.

Default i do it all the time

I also know and see things before they happen. It freaks my husband out. One day I was driving and I yelled "oh!" My husband said "what's wrong" then a deer jumped across the road right in front of us. I saw the deer, but it wasn't there until 10 seconds later. My husband didn't believe me at first, because I never said things outlook....then I decided to start saying what I felt or thought so he would believe what was happening. Now everytime I say what I see or feel, he says he prepares himself. This happens with the weather, news on tv that hasn't happened yet....I just know. It kind of scares me, but I also feel or see things only seconds to hours before they happen. My husband wants me to have a vision or thought of us winning the lottery, I had to explain to him that I can't make these things happen, they just come to me on their own. I don't understand it.

I have the same thing going with my wife. She's convinced that I can win the lottery. So I buy the tickets. It can't hurt.
