Precognition Quotes

“Would you like to know your future?

If your answer is yes, think again. Not knowing is the greatest life motivator.

So enjoy, endure, survive each moment as it comes to you in its proper sequence -- a surprise.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“We all have an inner voice, our personal whisper from the universe. All we have to do is listen -- feel and sense it with an open heart. Sometimes it whispers of intuition or precognition. Other times, it whispers an awareness, a remembrance from another plane. Dare to listen. Dare to hear with your heart.”
― CJ Heck, Bits and Pieces: Short Stories from a Writer's Soul

“Intuition goes before you, showing you the way. Emotion follows behind, to let you know when you go astray. Listen to your inner voice. It is the calling of your spiritual GPS system seeking to keep you on track towards your true destiny.”
― Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny

“Because there was only one thing worse than dying. And that was knowing you were going to die. And where. And how. (“Death Ship”)”
― Richard Matheson, Collected Stories, Vol. 1

“Sometimes you just know what you're doing is the only thing to be doing. That the world is conspiring all around you to make it happen, like, not just giving you permission, but herding you the direction you need to go, giving you secret nods and obvious hand signals, and getting everything out of the way so you have the clearest path possible.”
― Stephen Graham Jones, Night of the Mannequins

“If she's really psychic," Zack said when he saw Tanisha's photo at school, "why does she need a doorbell?”
― Joan Bauer, Peeled

“Can one come 2 conclusions,
Before the question is conceived?”
― Tupac Shakur, The Rose That Grew From Concrete

“In my own case, I employed this experiment mainly in order to seek for the barrier, if any, which divides our knowledge of the past from our knowledge of the future. And the odd thing was that there did not seem to be any such barrier at all.”
― J.W. Dunne, An Experiment with Time

“If your enemy has the power to see into the future, make sure you are the author of that future.”
― Lionel Suggs

“If prevision be a fact, it is a fact which destroys absolutely the entire basis of all our past opinions of the universe.”
― J.W. Dunne, An Experiment with Time

“No, there was nothing unusual in any of these dreams as dreams. They were merely displaced in Time.”
― J.W. Dunne, An Experiment with Time

“I was suffering, seemingly, from some extraordinary fault in my relation to reality, something so uniquely wrong that it compelled me to perceive, at rare intervals, large blocks of otherwise perfectly normal personal experience displaced from their proper positions in Time.”
― J.W. Dunne, An Experiment with Time

“But what is this clock, marking only so many years, that such men seem to consult in the dark of their being? We do not know. All we do know for certain is that no such clock, no such warnings, can come out of the passing time that we are told is all we have. They belong to a larger idea of Time, like all these dreams that came true.”
― J.B. Priestley, Man and Time

“The people who demand that the oracle predict for them really want to know next year’s price on whalefur or something equally mundane. None of them wants an instant-by-instant prediction of his personal life.”
― Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune

“The anti-precog has to be present when the precog is in the process of deciding, not after. The anti-precog makes all futures seem equally real to the precog; he aborts his talent to choose at all. A precog is instantly aware when an anti-precog is nearby because his entire relation to the future is altered. In the case of telepaths a similar impairment—” “She goes back in time,” G. G. Ashwood said. Joe stared at him. “Back in time,” G.G. repeated, savoring this; his eyes shot shafts of significance to every part of Joe Chip’s kitchen. “The precog affected by her still sees one predominant future; like you said, the one luminous possibility. And he chooses it, and he’s right. But why is it right? Why is it luminous? Because this girl—” He shrugged in her direction. “Pat controls the future; that one luminous possibility is luminous because she’s gone into the past and changed it. By changing it she changes the present, which includes the precog; he’s affected without knowing it and his talent seems to work, whereas it really doesn’t. So that’s one advantage of her anti-talent over other anti-precog talents. The other—and greater—is that she can cancel out the precog’s decision after he’s made it.”
― Philip K. Dick, Ubik

“Maybe I'm getting precognitive in my old age.”
― Jim Starlin, Batman: A Death in the Family

“J.W. Dunne was a distinguished man of science and professor of mathematics. [...] He embarked upon a lifetime study of precognition. In 1927 he published his basic conclusions in his bestselling book An Experiment with Time. [...]

He argued that if time was a fourth dimension then the passage of time must itself take time. If therefore time takes time there must be a time outside of time. He called this "time 2". [...]

Most of our life we live in "time 1", which is synonymous with the passing ordinary moments of everyday life. But during sleep a part of our personality (observer 2) can slip into this other dimension of time and experience events in the future which are communicated to our ordinary self (observer 1).

Investigations led Dunne to conclude that under certain circumstances past, present and future events were accessible to consciousness and that during dreams we can enter this fourth dimension of space-time.”

“Authentic psychic prediction reflects free will and personal power, not fate and fortune. It reveals only the next few steps, not the entire staircase.”
― Anthon St. Maarten, The Sensible Psychic: A Leading-Edge Guide To True Psychic Perception

“[With] prophetic insight: My conclusion is that only the potential for the future can be seen. The future can be changed. The psychic reads the map, but free will decides the path we take.”
― Craig Hamilton-Parker, Your Psychic Powers: A Beginner's Guide
