"If you simply reverse presentiment and call it backward influence, so that all future mental activity influences the present, you maintain the same model and results as the retrocausation studies. All precognition might be evidence of backward-acting influence;31 all future decisions may always influence the past. There is also the possibility that at the most fundamental layer of our existence there is no such thing as sequential time. Pure energy as it exists at the quantum level does not have time or space, but exists as a vast continuum of fluctuating charge." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"It concerned his famous experiments on precognition and extrasensory perception, including the card tests which would later be used by Edgar Mitchell in outer space. Rhine had conducted all of his experiments under carefully controlled conditions and they had yielded interesting results.2 The studies had shown that it was possible for a person to transmit information about card symbols to another or increase the odds of a certain number being rolled with a set of dice. Schmidt had been drawn to Rhine's work for its implications in physics." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Rhine had used his special cards for the ESP 'forced choice' guessing, or 'precognition', exercises and dice for 'psychokinesis' - tests of whether mind could influence matter. There were certain limitations with both media. You could never truly show that a toss of the dice had been a random process affected by human consciousness, or that a correct guess of the face of a card hadn't been purely down to chance. Cards might not be shuffled perfectly, a die might be shaped or weighted to favor a certain number." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Was the effect precognition or psychokinesis? Schmidt decided to isolate these effects further by testing psychokinesis. What he had in mind was an electronic version of Rhine's dice studies. He went on to build another type of machine - a twentieth-century version of the flip of a coin. This machine was based on a binary system (a system with two choices: yes or no; on or off; one or zero). It could electronically generate a random sequence of 'heads' and 'tails' which were displayed by the movement of a light in a circle of nine lamps. One light was always lit." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Radin's opposite number, University of Amsterdam's Dick Bierman, believed you could account for precognition through a well-known quantum phenomenon known as retarded and advanced waves ?the so-called Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory, which says that a wave can travel backward in time from the future to arrive at its source. What happens between two electrons is this. When one electron jiggles a bit, it sends out radiating waves into both the past and the future. The future wave, say, would hit a future particle, which would also wiggle, while sending out its own advanced and retarded waves." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Krippner had perfected an experimental protocol to test telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition in dreams during deep sleep. Volunteers would be paired off. While one partner slept, the other would be in a separate room and would be asked to concentrate on an image and attempt to "transmit" the image to the dreamer, so that it would be incorporated into his dream. Upon waking, the participants who had been sleeping would describe their dreams in great detail, to determine whether they contained anything resembling the target pictures they had been sent during their slumbers." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Lucid dreaming, however, offers a means to counteract these criticisms and more thoughtfully approach the age-old question of dream precognition. By seeking out possible future information in the conscious dream state, lucid dreamers can provide prenotifications of the results. That is, they can register a prediction before the event occurs. Just such a possibility is explored in the book, Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them.7 A long-time lucid dreamer and artist happened to attend a baby shower for a friend who was expecting her first child." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"In his groundbreaking book, The Conscious Universe, he documents a remarkably similar pattern of precognition occurring consistently in individual subjects, strongly suggesting every one of us is armed with our very own early warning system. Precognition - Connecting Beyond Time In his laboratory in the University of Nevada, Radin attached measuring devices to the left hand of subjects, leaving their right hand free to use a computer mouse. One pair of devices measured the electrical activity in the skin, while another recorded the pulse rate and amount of blood in the fingertip." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Moreover, in the cases of lucid dream telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and so on, you again find evidence for some awareness behind the dream, which provides an answer that our waking ego self could not know. You can resolve this for yourself in your next lucid dream by not focusing on the dream figures and objects and instead questioning the dream, "Hey dream! Show me . . ." Choose something open-ended, conceptual, or outside of your awareness (a likely future event) and see what happens. Then, based on your experience, you decide. J don't remember my dreams. How can I begin to do so?" - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) "Jung held that the unconscious could "anticipate" events, and much of what we call precognition is simply that, a forward-looking conjecture. Since Jung felt the psyche held the vantage point of both conscious and unconscious knowledge, this allowed it to project a possible course for events that appeared precognitive. As the following lucid dream unfolded, the future-oriented knowledge appeared to come with the show (April 1986): I see something odd, become lucid, and decide to go find my friend Bill (who lives 2,000 miles away)." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) "For lucid dreamers, conscious awareness in the dream state allows for the active exploration of psychic phenomena like telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition. Aware in the dream, lucid dreamers can seek out unknown but verifiable information and see for themselves whether the dream state is conducive, as Freud said, to "favorable conditions for telepathy." Though physicists have provided various theories that might allow for the incidence of telepathy and psi, no widely accepted theory exists to explain it." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"The scientific studies of prayer, remote viewing and precognition all support the everyday existence of non-locality, while our acceptance of the reality of near-death experiences helps us to envisage that consciousness exists outside our brains, and survives the death of our body. There are some with highly developed innate psychic skills of mediumship and remote viewing, who are able to tune into specific realms with consistency and accuracy." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.) "Common to all the precognition and remote-viewing studies, a state of respect, even love, between the subjects plays an essential role in sealing these non-local bonds. It has long been observed that caring gardeners with 'green fingers' nurture healthier and more luxuriant plants. Backster has found that humans and plants can share a true affinity for each other. His experiments strongly suggest that plants behave as wonderfully empathetic antennas, and this is reason enough for us to treat them well." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Fahler found that hypnotized subjects scored significantly higher on precognition tests than nonhypnotized subjects.36 Other studies have also confirmed the ESP-enhancing effects of hypnosis.37 However, no amount of dry statistical data has the impact of an example from real life. In his book The Future Is Now: The Significance of precognition, Arthur Osborn records the results of a hypnosis-precognition experiment involving the French actress Irene Muza." - Michael Talbot, The Holographic Universe (Get the book.)

"In terms of this way of looking at time, we can also explain why it is so much easier to acquire detailed, highly specific knowledge of the past than of the future-and why, in particular, we possess memory, but not precognition. The past, we think, is actuality through and through. In that sense, it is, in its entirety, there to be known. By contrast, the future is ordinarily regarded as largely open; and it violates the very concept of knowledge to countenance a person's knowing that something is going to happen, while it remains a live possibility that it will not." - Michael Lockwood, The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe (Get the book.)

"For those pondering the puzzle of precognition, the Pribram-Bohm holographic mind theory seems to offer the greatest hope yet for progress toward the sought-for solution," he states. Loye, who is currently codirector of the Institute for Future Forecasting in northern California, knows whereof he speaks. He has spent the last two decades investigating precognition and the art of forecasting in general, and develops techniques to enable people to get in touch with their own intuitive awareness of the future." - Michael Talbot, The Holographic Universe (Get the book.) "In his book The Future Is Now: The Significance of precognition, Arthur Osborn records the results of a hypnosis-precognition experiment involving the French actress Irene Muza. After being hypnotized and asked if she could see her future, Muza replied, "My career will be short: I dare not say what my end will be: it will be terrible." Startled, the experimenters decided not to tell Muza what she had reported and gave her a posthypnotic suggestion to forget everything she had said. When she awakened from her trance she had no memory of what she had predicted for herself." - Michael Talbot, The Holographic Universe (Get the book.)
