Premonition

How psychic are you?

It’s my experience that most of us experience the “psychic” thing too often to make these incidents mere coincidence.

We call this phenomenon a variety of names: Intuition, a sixth sense, a gut feeling, a hunch, a lucky guess, instinct and premonition are just some of the descriptors that come to mind.

We also have another sensation that dresses up and pretends to be psychic. It’s called a nagging fear.

We believe that because this fear keeps gnawing at us that it must be a premonition. This belief causes us to filter our experiences through a very dark lens.

So how do we tell the difference between a premonition and a fear?

A premonition won’t nag you.

It’s a one-time thing. It happens in the blink of an eye and it’s all inclusive, meaning it doesn’t arrive piecemeal.

Fear comes back more often than a bad penny.

If your fears are keeping you awake at night you can rest easy that they aren’t premonitions.

Premonitions are more time efficient and don’t chew their cabbage twice.

Can you think of a time when something came to you out of the blue? Notice it didn’t have a preamble or an epilogue; it just arrived.

Nagging fear reminds me of the inscription on the tombstone of the hypochondriac who lived to be 99: “See, I told you so.”

Nagging fears will continue to knock on our door. The trick is to notice that it isn’t Halloween and treat them as the imposters they are.When you take the time to notice a nagging fear for what it is, it will dispel the myth that it’s a premonition.

You’ll never talk yourself into a psychic experience or out of fear for that matter, but if you notice the difference between the two, you give ominous fear less of an opportunity to take hold of you.

All the best,

John
