Precognition is the scientific name for the knowledge or perception
of the future, obtained through extrasensory means. Often called
'premonition', precognition is the most frequently reported of all
extrasensory perception (ESP) experiences, occurring most often in
dreams. It may also occur spontaneously in waking visions, auditory
hallucinations, flashing thoughts entering the mind, the sense of
"knowing" and physiological changes. Combining science and
practice, Theresa and Dr Julia unravel the mystery of precognition.
The book will cover: What precognition is and the different types,
clearly explaining the cutting-edge science, including what is
known and what is still a mystery The most common premonitions that
people experience and why, including examples from around the world
Experimental tools to help you cultivate precognition experiences
to help get useful information for your life Case studies included
throughout, with supporting scientific evidence offered alongside
to provide validation and explanation Personal experiences of the
authors, detailing how premonition has shaped their lives and
interviews with leading scientists and experts in the field

Since the early nineteenth century, mesmerists, mediums and
psychics have exhibited extraordinary phenomena. These have been
demonstrated, reported and disputed by every modern generation. We
continue to wonder why people believe in such things, while others
wonder why they are dismissed so easily. Extraordinary Beliefs
takes a historical approach to an ongoing psychological problem:
why do people believe in extraordinary phenomena? It considers the
phenomena that have been associated with mesmerism, spiritualism,
psychical research and parapsychology. By drawing upon conjuring
theory, frame analysis and discourse analysis, it examines how such
phenomena have been made convincing in demonstration and report,
and then disputed endlessly. It argues that we cannot understand
extraordinary beliefs unless we properly consider the events in
which people believe, and what people believe about them. And it
shows how, in constructing and maintaining particular beliefs about
particular phenomena, we have been in the business of constructing
ourselves.
Why do so many people believe in an Invisible World behind this
one? Scientists a parallel universe? Religions an afterlife? Others
'just something'? Perhaps for observations we cannot explain? Some
are psychological, e.g. the nature, storage, and conveyance of the
information implicit in 'ghosts', hunches, premonitions and
hypnosis; and some are material - the behaviour of particles on a
very small scale in physics laboratories. Each hints at spatial or
temporal derangement. Space and Time are the indivisible
foundations of physics. Everything that exists has a location and
duration; physics concerns nothing without both. We can suppose the
universe bound not by a physical framework of space-time but as
containing within itself all Space and all Time - with a little
more besides. Another world is not a baseless idea.
