Premonition is a phenomenon we are all aware of. When we mention this, there is a sudden feeling of greatness because of the force of intuitive knowing. But did you know that this could be devastating? Yes, this is accompanied by impulsive nature, anxiety, nervousness and a more vague feeling of discomfort that suggests an impending disaster. One will also find visual or auditory information here. It has been seen that this kind of intuition occurs especially before any accident, disaster, deaths as has been reported. This makes a person a victim and he continuously suffers from a traumatic future foresight.
If you try to get deep into logical reasoning behind premonition, you will land up nowhere. Such are the complexities of human brain. However, medically you will find a lot of treatments but does that really cure this trait? Generally, speaking, premonitions are sense-oriented and find its manifestations in physical uneasiness. The messages conveyed by this trait cannot be understood by our conscious mind. Premonitions occur while we are awake and are stronger than our dreams. Whether premonitions come in dreams depends on the dream itself. If a person dreams about the whole scenario of an event, it can or may happen in the future. But it is very difficult to come to certainty as a dream can serve as a premonition yet at the same time it also cannot be.Premonition and prophecy should not be casually dismissed by the scientific community as the phenomenon of foreknowing poses a challenge to science that has not been met, but which promises a vastly greater understanding of the workings of the universe.
Here we can refer to the Wkikpedia section on Nostradamus.Nostradamus, (December 14, 1503 – July 1, 1566) born Michel de Nostredame, is one of the world's most famous authors of prophecies. He is most famous for his book Les Propheties, which consists of rhymed quatrains (4-line poems) grouped into sets of 100, called Centuries.
Nostradamus enthusiasts have credited him with predicting a copious number of events in world history, including the French Revolution, the atom bomb, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Detractors, however, see such predictions as examples of vaticinium ex eventu, retroactive clairvoyance and selective thinking, which find non-existent patterns in ambiguous statements. Because of this, it has been claimed that Nostradamus is "100% accurate at predicting events after they happen".
Nostradamus wrote four-line verses (quatrains) in groups of 100 (centuries). (Note: All quatrains below in modern French are translations from esoterism.com. The translator prefers to remain anonymous.) Skeptics consider the "prophecies" of Nostradamus to be mainly gibberish. For example:
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois
Du ciel viendra grand Roy deffrayeur
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angoumois.*
Avant après Mars régner par bonheur.
The year 1999 seven months
From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
To resuscitate the great king of the Mongols. Before and after Mars reigns by good luck. (X.72).
Despite this prediction, none of the deciples of Nostradamus could decipher his predictions. But this was an indication to the most disastrous even that followed: John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister Lauren Bessette, were killed in a plane crash on July 18, 1999, the retroprophets shoehorned the event to the "prophecy."
Many philosophers believed, such as Erika Cheetham (The Final Prophecies of Nostradamus, 1989), that Nostradamus foresaw the invention of bombs, rockets, submarines, and airplanes. He predicted the Great Fire of London (1666) and the rise of Adolph Hitler and many other events.
Did you know that after the catastrophic terrorist skyjackings and attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, there were rumors that Nostradamus had predicted it. The following quatrains were offered as proof:
"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city...
In the city of York there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos
While the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
Third big war will begin when the big city is burning."
Well, there is the view of Jean-Claude Pecker of the Collège de France in Paris. He maintains that Nostradamus described not future events but events of his own and earlier times. According to Pecker, Nostradamus disguised "them in a sort of coded French" because "in his troubled period" he was "under constant threat" (Skeptical Inquirer, September/October 2001, p. 81).

Most premonitions are uncovered after the event,history has yet to witness an authentic premonition subsequently proven.Mostly it is connecting the dots.
ReplyDeleteYes that is true. If premonitions could actually be used to forsee future, the world would have been a different place.........free and fearless!!!!
