Isn’t this “gut feeling”.? It would be nice to finally have it validated.

This review gives absolutely no details about what was studied or how and gives no data. If one looks at the original article and the online comments, one finds that the interpretations are probably spurious. Futurity is supposed to give factual information without hype. It (the writer and editors) failed.

If you want to believe in supernatural phenomena, you will.

Agree with Ed.

We all predict the future all of the time, it’s just that only a small amount of those predictions ever come true – but those are the ones we remember.

So if I’m playing a game at work (or commenting on futurity) when i should be working instead, I feel anxious. I am expecting my boss to come and find me because I know I’m doing something I shouldn’t. When I get away with it I forget about that awful sinking feeling I had imagining my boss looming over me, if it actually happens that feeling is reinforced and it seems like I knew it was coming all along.

Part of our intelligence is predicting the future so that we can change our present actions to give ourselves an advantage later on. This is true of all life to a varying extent. The article says:

“Researchers already know that our subconscious minds sometimes know more than our conscious minds.”

I don’t see how this research furthers this statement. Given that making judgements on what will happen in the future based on current circumstances is essential to the survival of an organism, is it not just that this phenomena shows the amygdala/primitive brain/subconscious making these calculations independently of the conscious brain? It seems like we ‘just knew’ but that is how the subconscious works. Nothing particularly mysterious about it, impressive never the less.

In my latest book, ‘The Cycle of Sound: A Missing Energetic Link’ I discuss how our subconscious vibrations are very important to us. The book discusses how a newly identified subtle energy system called The Voice-Ear-Brain Connection supports how we perceive and use information from within us as well as from outside our beings. If we tune into our body’s vibrations, which all are sound related to me, we can’t help but be more aware of how to make choices. Our body knows.

Ms Davis, if what you say is not a lot of hokum, you should give us some data instead of hawking your book. After all this web site is for those who are interested in non hyped-up scientific facts. What are your credentials? What facts, verifiable through well designed experiments, do you have to back up your claims (which to me seem rather odd)?

I’m not so sure about that Ed. I’ve had a look at a few brief descriptions of Mrs. Davis’ work. While I’m with you in thinking that the approach isn’t scientific (I may be mistaken here, my apologies if that is the case) it does look like it is practical. I think Mrs. Davis just has a different way of looking at the idea, every movement and event causes vibrations and the transfer of kinetic energy from one particle to the next so calling this ‘sound’ is fairly reasonable. I also read that Mrs. Davis has worked with people with autism and used this particular alternative approach. Having worked with children with autism myself, I can imagine it works.

However, if Mrs. Davis is suggesting that the ear can pick up the tiny vibrations that might indicate someone walking towards your office, then I’m no so sure. I also wonder how much data there are backing this up? I’m not well versed in the ear but I know a little and I’m pretty sure that there is a minimum amplitude of sound that we can hear. I know for certain that that varies from person to person and obviously gets worse with age.

I too am irked by the plugging. Hate that. I’d only say that I do believe alternative medicine has a lot of value. Most of it is rubbish, I agree, even so it will often work as a placebo. And the rest of it, may well be excellent medical practices that we just don’t understand yet. Look at all of the ancient examples of trepanning. So long as it does not cause harm and shows repeat success then I’m for it.

Gracias a not spick inglish. Gracias por compartir. Recuerde con el amor impulsamos nuestras acciones. Bendiciones . YO SOY LA LUZ DEL BIEN ESA SOY YO!

Maria, ¿Si usted puede leer el articulo en ingles, porque escribe en español ?

Ed, probably because she doesn’t read the article.

Presentiment has been extensively studied, and there is no evidence to date that the results are explainable in terms of fraud, error, beliefs or conventional physiologic mechanisms. The reader is directed to the work of Dean Radin and in general, the Society for Scientific Exploration.

Dean Radin’s website gives no data from a respected peer-reviewed journal. I can’t explain many magic tricks, but that doesn’t mean I believe in magic. As a scientifically educated individual, I, and I would assume most readers of Futurity, want to read articles based on science and not nonsense from folks writing about the paranormal or some half-Spanish gibberish.

…no they’re not.

No they’re not what?

Sorry Ed I was replying to that spam message that’s been deleted. It grossed me out.

I’m a simple layman with no scientific training…..and I agree with Ed and Kimbee.
Please Futurity editors, confine articles at Futurity today to peer reviewed ones with a sound basis in science that can be replicated in a lab. This article does sound like mumbo-jumbo.
I love magic and my glass is half full of hope for humanity and our amazing abilities to survive on the planet, but let’s stick to the facts. Just the facts.
Thank you.

This really did happen to me 2 months before my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer I went over the edge manic. Inside I knew something really bad in my life was going to happen but didn’t have a clue what it was. This phenomena is really true.
