Well, first I have to say, without finger pointing, I'm quite skeptical of almost all claims of "special abilities", though I do think that
consciousness possesses "unmeasurable potential". Some people on this board have made some pretty outrageous claims, and I find it hard to believe
that with so many "super-powered" people here, there's nobody, publicly, exploiting said abilities. With all that said, here's my
story(incidents/account/whatever):
As a little kid (as early back as I can remember) I seemed to be able to precognitively see bad things happening. Only when they were happening to me,
and when it was as-a-result-of my own actions. I remember thinking of this as simply "my conscience". But it was as if I would quickly slip into a
"dream-like" place, outside of time (though the experience felt like it lasted a few moments, it "really" occurred in zero time). Visually, It was
very similar to dreaming - vague shapes, sharp contrasting color. I always saw from an outside perspective (outside my body), and myself(my body) and
everyone one else involved appeared as,what i can best describe as, Silhouettes.
I remember experiencing this, and acting in response to these happenings many times. (Everyone has always told me I was a "thoughtful" and cautious
child - I whole-heartedly attribute it to this "ability").
When I was 7, I was at a family party (an annual pool party - that we still have to this day) and I was chasing my younger cousin around the swimming
pool (not that I was "angrily" chasing him, we were playing around). Well I had one of these experiences (just as I was about to pass the diving
board), and It relayed to me that If I kept messing around I would hurt myself on the base of that diving board. At the age of 7, after being in the
school system for a few years(and not enjoying it), like a lot of other young boys of that age, I liked to question authority(to the extent a 7 year
old does). This meant my parents, teachers, and also this "conscience". I knew the outcome wouldn't be good, but I wanted to see what would happen
if I didn't listen.
I caught my foot on the diving board, hit the pavement surrounding the pool and split my knee open. yes a small injury, but that was the last time I
ever remember having this "experience".
When I was a child I did not think that this was out of the ordinary, but I've thought about this a lot over the last several years. And I've
wondered if maybe I would have kept this precognitive ability if I did not stray from it. And Now, re-hashing all this, I really do feel a strong
loss. I miss it. But not like "I miss having a power". I miss it because It feels like it was a part of me, and it's gone (or i just can't feel it
anymore).
I would really like to know if anyone else has had this type of experience.
