A few days ago we revealed Dean Radin, a leading scientist in parapsychology that was invited to present to the leading minds of Google. Dean revealed why science and academia had largely ignored para-psychological phenomena for decades and proved why such phenomena does exist.
After watching the video, we were inspired to find more resources to share with you on intuition. We found a journalist, Michael Schmicker who was actually sent to research and write about intuition and people who claim to possess this ability. As Michael undertook his research, he became a believer in intuition and found more stories and went out to prove that intuition actually existed. Michael wrote a book entitled "Best Evidence", where he talks about people and evidence that re-instate the existence of intuition. In the book, he shares stories from real-people - which he received from all over the world on a daily basis.
Michael also co-authored a book with Dr. Sally Rhine Feather, daughter of J.B. Rhine of the Rhine Foundation. The book - "The Gift" Extraordinary experiences of Ordinary people - spoke about several unusual instances and stories such as where a Mother could intuit her son's death in Iraq, or where a woman could foresee the 9-11 attack on Pentagon.
This ability of intuition we have known about for years now. We are so happy that mainstream science and academia is finally beginning to appreciate the significance of this type of psychological phenomena.
We have some questions we would love you to answer in the comments:
- How much intuition do you believe you possess and how do you use it in your life?
- Have you been able to perceive the feelings and activities of a loved one using your intuition?
- Have you heard stories around intuition or people that have been able to perceive unusual things?
We'd love you to send us your comments below!
I firmly believe in intuition. My father and I have been very close and I had a habit of calling him we lived in different cities. One morning I felt that the phone had been ringing in the night. I asked my husband whether he heard it, he hadnt but I had this feeling it was my dad trying to get in touch with me. In the morning I called up my parents but was told they had gone shopping, I called again I got the same answer, I called again in the afternoon I again got the same answer and I thought it was very strange that my father and mother had gone shopping the whole morning. Then I called my sister-in-law and after probing found out that my dad had been admitted in the hospital the previous night but since he knew I would get worried had told everyone not to tell me about it.
Another time just around a week prior to xmas in 2000 my dad and mom had come to live with me and I had a very bad dream that my dad died I got up a little worried but as dad was with me put it out of my mind. On the eve of xmas my mother came up to my bedroom to wake me up as she was a paraletic and could not speak clearly after the stroke and was a very anxious person i thought she was waking me up to go to church and I told her mom its too early go to sleep. She went down I got up with a start as I recalled the dream I had a few days ago and went running down the steps my dad had gone into a diabetic coma with his tongue lolling out and his eyes popping out. We immediately rushed him to the hospital the hospital would not admit him thinking he was dead but after screaming and shouting he was admitted and we managed to save him.
In Dec 2005 I was supposed to move to the same city as my dad. I had mentioned to my dad that I wanted to have the house renovated prior to our moving in but he kept on insisting that we should move into the house and only then have the house renovated. We moved from Delhi to Goa on Dec 8, 2005 on Dec 13 2005 I got up with a start at around 2.00am in the morning with a feeling that I was choking and suffocating and woke up sweating profusely. Being December it was fairly cold I was sitting at the window trying to regain my breath when the phone rang my sister-in-law was on the phone she seemed a little surprised that I answered the phone on the first ring she called to say to come quickly as my dad was passing away. By the time I reached my dad's place he had already passed away.
This xmas of Dec 2008, I was feeling very down that something was not right, the feeling of being lost and completely alone. I did not feel like celebrating xmas but did not know why. My daughter said that because my son was not coming home I was feeling depressed but it was not so I could not put my finger on why I was feeling down. My husband's daughter was supposed to come home so because of her I pushed myself to put up the tree and make the cake batter. Normally I would keep the batter overnight and the next day start baking but this time I just didnt have the strength to put the batter into the pans. My daughter commented that we had not bought any clothes for xmas it just came out of my mouth that I would buy a black blouse for xmas and she said but why mama I said I dont know. On the Dec 21 my mom was feeling a little uncomfortable so the next day I called the doc and had her brought to the hospital by the time she was taken from the wheelchair to the examination table she had a cardiac arrest. She was my everything even though she could not talk full sentences we could communicate to each other. And now I know why I was feeling lost.
I say things without knowing why and it just comes true. Even when my son was doing is 10th board examination I would pray for him to get 80% and 65% would keep on coming to me and I could not figure out why. When my son's results were declared it was 65%. Even for my neice when she came back from her interview I told her she got the job and two days later she called me to tell me that her placement teacher called her to tell her that she had got the job.
When my niece appeared for her final graduation exam she kept on asking me to pray for her to get a distinction and I would pray, Then she asked me what she would get I told her she would get a First class. When her results were declared she had got a first class she missed a distinction by 0.5%.
I have bought the Silva UIltra Mind system with the intention of further developing my intuition.
times of danger, or preceived danger , hightens intuituion. i recall as a young child, that i felt as if someone pulled me back , from stepping into a bus.the area was in manhattan on 3rd ave., whne they had the el above, and the bus line on the street level. the pillars hid the traffic coming towards you. a scarry experience. or that errie feeling not to walk down a street, or take the next subway. and then that walk trough central park transverse road, bus strike, and the feeling that someone or something was in the park---a danger. picked up a large stick and walked through the park to the west side, and goton the sub way. read in the paper that some one took the same route and was killed by a large kife.....was i minutes before the killer came, or did that individual know that i was aware, an errir feeling, and carried a large club????
Hi Laura
Q:How much intuition do you believe you possess and how do you use it in your life?
A:I believe that I have a fair amount of intuition. Unfortunately I have suppressed it more often than not to my detriment!
Q:Have you been able to perceive the feelings and activities of a loved one using your intuition?
A: I am more likely to sense feeling, than to perceive activities. I have experienced foreboding about an accident which came to pass. There was nothing that could have been done on my part to avoid it. It makes me wonder what was the point of this perceiving.
Q:
Have you heard stories around intuition or people that have been able to perceive unusual things?
I have actually been part of such an experience where a friend predicted danger in my home and car and was able to by taking action prevent accident and injury.
Another experience that I recall is waking up and looking at my husband and saying mentally, "Turn on the light over there." I remember wondering why these words had popped into my mind. I then spent some meditating on turning on a bright light on him. After a time I went back to sleep. The next morning the first thing he said to me was "I dreamt that you were making a machine of light and it had something to do with Einstein's law of relativity."
Since we are all integral to the UNIVERSAL MIND (God ) we all have the potential to access much more knowledge/power than is now commonly done by our separated idea of self---who we think we are.
Wherever and whenever our separated mind is receptive to the continual transmissions of our Higher mind a recognition of what we already knew/know occurs. This is commonly called INTUITION.
This is true and all of you are lookin for the answer to find who you are lookin for to unlock your true power of your mind his name is
G***** *O*** ***D but that's all I can give you. Within this name you will find who you truely are a part of and who he is in this generation.15 letters space 6 after g 6 after o but to see him will be your hardest find to achieve.......
I have extreme intuition and abilities. Often i'll say an off hand comment,that doesn't really fit the situation or the moment quite right,an then sure enough its a prophecy,i usually find out on the news or however.Like the floods in Queensland and many similar events..If i dream about people i don't know they're usually happening somewhere.And day to day if i get any bad feelings i listen to them,to the point i will ring people an tell them what to avoid for some reason.I learnt to listen to them after being talked round a few times when i didn't want to be somewhere or do somethink,and then majorly weird to shocking outcomes happen and then people are sorry an wish they'd listened to me. And now more than not people do.I also no my 1st thought is the right one 19 out of 20 times,an usually the one time i'm wrong is when i've overlooked the real 1st thought.My intuition gets stronger everyday,i used to avoid it,especially as a kid because it scared me.Now i've learnt to live with it,I used to think it was a curse as well as a gift, but now i see it as a gift,it can be hard to know alot u don't want to, but it has saved me my life many times now and i am grateful.Intuition comes from learning the truth about yourself,emotions,thoughts and understanding of it all combined.People who have learnt to have high levels of empathy will be more finly tuned with their intuition.Everyone has it,just some peoples are buried in their journey and can't quite see it properly,make mistakes because of that,and then don't trust it or know it's there anymore.Have to be truth,learn it,speak it,love it,believe in it,and then you can see it...It's that simple.
As for all my experiences of different types of intuition,i could write an encyclopedia,so it'd be too long...
I don't see how people can't recognize it myself.I might be just to used to it in my little lunchbox though..
I DECIDED TO BUY THE CDS OF MEDITATION.
I AM IN JAPANSOHOW CAN I DO IT.
I'll just ignore the questions and tell you the story. When I first met my wife's mother(before we were married) she almost passed out. Later I was shown the drawings and told. My wife had told her mother when she was 5 to 7 years old that she would one day marry a man with "things in his ears" and being very artistic drew a picture of the things. So detailed was the drawing that even though she was too young to read she drew the letters as they existed on my hearing aid "Beltone" in cursive letters.
Much later, when we were having some financial difficulties, she had a dream which had 2 sets of 3 digit numbers followed by a pair of letters. 385mm and 680we. I was just guessing, ...Lottery??? 385 Monday midday and 680 Wednesday evening??? I played $3 on each of those for 3 weeks and and each ticket paid $500 when the first one hit for $1500 payout. I then played $14 on the other one for 5 more weeks for one day per week and Got $7,000. This hasn't happened since but think of the odds. 1 to 1000 for any given drawing but which drawing in the week was told also for 13 drawings per week increases the odds to 1 in 13,000.
I am in my forties and have two beautiful children. My daughter is 19, petite and gorgeous. My son is 17, tall and very handsome. They are part of this story. When I was young, before my children some 20 years ago, I was open to the world and searching. I started learning about, in those days it was the new thing, the New Age Religion. I remember Shirley MacClaine's books and all of the movies and teachings going on at the time. I had always had a bit of intuition. I was strong but I didn't really understand it so I didn't cultivate it. My mother was always telling me that it was the devil's work and I was getting into a cult. My intuition saved me from bad things on more than one occassion.
One story I will tell you of myself and the other includes my daughter. Again, it was in the eighties and I lived in Greensboro, NC at the time. There had been a man who traveled the then new part of interstate 85 preying on women driving alone at night. He had a red light, just like a policeman, and when he would see a woman alone in a car he would get behind her, follow her for awhile and then turn on that light like he was a cop pulling her over for something. He would then walk up to her car, pull her out and rape her. One night while this was going on,I took months to catch him, I was traveling on this new road coming home to Greensboro from Charlotte where I had been visiting a friend. There weren't many travelers on the road at the time, it was a new road and people didn't use it then like they do now. It was late and I noticed that there wasn't alot of traffic. I also noticed there was a car that had been behind me on the highway for many miles. I made sure I wasn't speeding and was obeying all trafic laws and yet I still say a red light behind me. I pulled over to the side of the road, started to roll down my window and the hairs on the back of my neck started to stand on end. I suddenly became nervous and remembered the "Red light Rapist" was still on the loose. I could see him walking up to my car and I made the decision to take off. I figured that he was a real cop he would come after me, stop me again and understand my reasoning for leaving. I he was the rapist, he wouldn't chase me and I was saving myself. He didn't chase me and a week later a work a co worker told me her sister had been raped by the "Red light Rapist" only a couple of days after I eluded him.
The second story has just happened. I am in Afghanistan working as a civilian contractor to support my family. As I said earlier, my daughter is 19 and beautiful Yesterday at around noon in Afghanistan, which is around two or two-thirty central time, I was feeling very overheated. I got tunnel vision, black spots before my eyes, I felt as if someone had hit me upside the head, and my legs grew very week. I thought I was going to passout. I had to fight to stay awake and aware. This lasted for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Then I was nuaseaus and felt very, very sick. I couldn't eat the lunch I had been waiting on and I had to leave work early. After being sick in the bathroom twice I laid down and slept for about 3 hours. I felt fine when I awoke. This morning when I got up, I saw that I had missed a call from my daughter. I called her back. The story she told me made my skin crawl. She said that around two-fifteen am central time, she had been vicious attacked outside her work. The man came up behing her, slammed her head into her car, raped her, cut her on the thigh and took off with the contents of her purse. My poor, beautiful 5 ft tall daughter was being viciously attacked on one side of the world while I had fallen violently ill on the other side of the world. If that isn't intuition and the universe telling something was wrong with my family then I don't know what is.
YES, ESP/intuition really do exist.
1). I was crossing the mouth of a small lane when a "voice" said "STOP". I stopped, looked around and 10 seconds later a large piece of sheet plate steel 1 inch thick, 2 meters by 3 1/2 meters long, fell from the top of a 5 story building under construction and landed 1 yard away from me. I looked up and saw 3 workers looking to see what happened. I was shaking.
2). Another time I wanted to know where my 10 year old son was. I could see him riding his skateboard down a long hill. I knew he wasn't in Bangkok because there are no hills here. Later he told me that he and his friends had taken an old bus to Pattaya (@ 2+ hours away by car). They came home in a heavy downpour of rain.
3). When I was studying for my M.Sc. at Mahidol University, I felt suddenly very weepy. A small voice said " Don't worry. Everythings alright". I was crying but didn't know why. My father called that evening and told me that my favorite great,great aunt had just died.As long as I can remember, she and I had always had a great time together.
4). Another time was when I was teaching around 7:30 pm when a sudden wind and rain storm blew up out of no where complete with thunder, lightening and lots of rain. This was most unusual because it was in the middle of the dry season and we don't get rains out of clear cloudless skys. I knew that something had happened but not what. When I got home late that night, the house was all lit up, the windows and doors were open and the dogs had not been fed and were howling, like for the dead. One of my sons came and took me to the hopsital near where my husband worked. I thought something had happened to my oldest son (because he had been a little sick). Instead I found out that it was my husband who had did at 7:30 pm. I was in a state of shock. I remembered that morning I told him: "We need you, please stop smoking, I'll see you this evening,I love you." This is still with me even today. I still feel him near me quite often.
Intituion is always with me. When I listen and respond, I'm OK but when I don't pay attention to it, I pay the price.
I can go on and on telling more about intuition. It does work when you take the time to listen.
I'll tell you a story to illustrate. It was a lesson in how
to identify the correct guidance from intuition or whatever
you prefer to call it. Always listen to the voice that speaks to you in calm statements. Ignore the voice that argues, which is ego.
I'd made an appointment with the vet to have my male cat
neutered. The appointment was for 8 a.m. on a Saturday. My husband Jim, and the kids were still asleep.
I attached a leash to the cat's collar, slipped the loop over my right arm, put the cat in a basket with a lid but no
way to secure the lid.
My intuition said, "take Jim with you, you're going to need help". My ego voice argued that I was a grown woman and perfectly capable of taking the cat to the vet by myself.
Again my intuitive voice said, "take Jim with you you're going to need help". I ignored it and drove off to the vet
alone with the cat.
The parking lot at the vet's was empty. I got out of the car with the basket handle over my right arm. A dog the size of Cleveland came from behind the building, trotted up to me and sniffed the basket. The cat went berserk, flew
out of the basket, couldn't escape because it was attached
to me by the leash so it bit the end of my forefinger and hung there by its teeth.
I decided the dog and it's teeth were the biggest threat and
kept my shoulder bag between me and its mouth. We trotted
into the vet like that.
The vet stood there frozen and speechless. I asked him if this was his dog. He said yes. I said put it away. When he came back I said, "take the cat off the end of my finger".
He did.
Then it just gets stupid. I asked for a band-aid to stop the bleeding from my finger which was dripping all over the
floor. He said he couldn't do that because that would be "dispensing". I said okay then please give me a paper towel or a tissue. He said he couldn't do that either, and sat down at his reception desk behind the window.
By then I was really mad and stuck my arm through the window all the while dripping blood all over his appointment book. He ignored me and wrote through the blood like it wasn't even there.
So anyway. Listen to the calm intuitive voice in your mind. Ignore the voice that argues.
Love all of you,
Rena
How much intuition do you believe you possess and how do you use it in your life?
I know I possess intuition and I use it in my daily life to get from one day to the next.
Have you been able to perceive the feelings and activities of a loved one using your intuition?
Yes, eg. If I get a toothache where I don't have a tooth, I know something is not right with my baby sister and I should contact her ASAP. If I get a headache that won't go away, I know a brother and a sister are both tremendously suffering from their allergies. If I smell an El Producto cigar and no one is in the area smoking, I know this is my Dad communicating with me/us from the otherside warning me/us of some type of danger.
Have you heard stories around intuition or people that have been able to perceive unusual things?
Of course
, I know that every human has the ability. Most must don't know how to use it. Not only have I heard a story it is also on page 2 of the newspaper in Iowa regarding my niece being a psychic. If ever I can't find something I call her. eg. Lost keys to neighbors car at Medical Clinic. Had saw 2 doctors and had tests done in the lab. Went back to each couldn't find the key. Took a cab home to get neighbors extra key thinking I locked it up in the car. No such luck. Called my niece she told me where to look (in the pharmacy) keys' weren't there, Went to security someone turned the keys in they found in pharmacy. My niece described the lady I was talking to when I dropped the keys so I know she knows her stuff. I am so proud of her.
I have so many intuition moments that they are to many to mention. One interesting thing which I will mention is that I am very connected to my Mom and sister. We will just think about one or the other and the phone rings. On and on like this it goes. AWESOME!!!
It was about 35 years ago. I was driving along a California freeway and suddenly felt a dark cloud come over me. A startling vision. I was about to be involved in a terrible accident. I knew it. It was imminent. I grabbed onto the steering wheel with white knuckles. 30 seconds later, the front tire blew out and the car went spinning around in circles and out of control on the fast lane of the freeway with cars zipping by me at 80-90 MPH (Californians never honor speed limits). Came to a stop nose to nose with the car previously behind me, about 6 inches from my bumper by the time he screeched to a halt. We both faced each other with a look of terror. We both lived. No injuries, no damages (except for the tire). Had I not grabbed the steering wheel so hard it could've been a different story. I've never every doubted intuition or the ability to see through time since ten.
October 26.09 my uncle died.THE week before I had dealth on my mind and I could not shake it,so I called my daughter to ask about a relative that has health issues I was told she was fine.The morning of Oct 26,2hrs after I get to work,I work for the hospital.My aunt comes down to my department and tells me that she had brought my uncle in the night before,this very morning on my way to work I had death on my mind again,I asked myself what is this all about.About 2hrs or so my aunts comes down and told me my uncle had died,this is around the time I was heading to work thinking why I had dealth on my mind,this was around the time he had died.
