Without the full context, it's hard to interpret those "unfounded" senses. However, there is indeed a lot out there that science has yet to find a way to explain.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-66157128410229898972013-10-15T06:59:53.180-07:002013-10-15T06:59:53.180-07:00I think our 5 human senses are very limited - it i...I think our 5 human senses are very limited - it is obvious that there is much that we do not "hear" and observe. While science remains "so very rational," I suspect we are not tuned into "messages," even those aimed at us... but we somehow sense the "edges of them".Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-89036118083995478342013-10-14T21:26:39.472-07:002013-10-14T21:26:39.472-07:00There are certainly quite a few stories out there ...There are certainly quite a few stories out there that make you pause and consider. How could anyone doubt something like what your grandfather experienced? Of course, we don't really know what to do with those feelings until we receive the <i>other</i> part of the story.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-44600965183456983862013-10-13T21:37:40.091-07:002013-10-13T21:37:40.091-07:00Feelings, I think we all have uncomfortable unsett...Feelings, I think we all have uncomfortable unsettling feelings from time to time. I usually proceed with caution. My maternal Grandfather heard the angels sing the time he son was killed and knew someone was coming with the news. I believed him, he wouldn't have told me if it were not the truth:(Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-38301206351863412312013-10-12T22:36:20.054-07:002013-10-12T22:36:20.054-07:00Thoughtful point, Wendy.

Premonition or not, that "What If" game certainly is widespread--and frankly, tormenting to those who play it in such cases.<br /><br />On the other hand, there are those cases, like the example you give of your father-in-law, which make me wonder, too, what we'd realize if we were paying attention, as you said. I have had such experiences, myself, in regards to family members I've lost. It can certainly be an unnerving experience. Having experienced it myself, I am less likely to question it when others report such experiences, too.

Every time I see an accident ahead, I think, "What if I had left home a few minutes earlier," "What if I had gunned it to beat the red light instead of stopping on yellow." The fact that Philip had some uneasy feeling may have simply signaled a cold coming on, or it could have been a true premonition of his impending death. The days before my father-in-law died, he kept seeing his parents. Was it simply dementia or was it a premonition? Stories like these trick me into wondering whether everyone would know when their time is up if they are paying attention.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
