Has anyone here ever experienced precognition? Many have at one time or another as well as experiences that defy explanation. The cause? I don't know. I can't even guess why. Maybe God, maybe something wholly other. But science cannot explain it either. Does that mean it is not real?

Here is one small example, again, my own experience. At my place of employment, some years ago, there was a coffee machine that had poker hands stamped on the cups. I almost always brought my own coffee so seldom used the machine but one day I walked in the break room and told the guys standing around that I was going to hit four aces on the coffee machine. I somehow knew it. Any of you epistemologists want to have a crack at what constitutes human "knowing" go ahead. I'd love for someone to explain it to me. I dropped my coins in, down dropped the cup and in went the coffee (if you could call it that). I lifted the cup over my head and sure enough 4 aces. You should have seen the looks I got from everyone. They told me to go buy a lottery ticket! What did it mean? I have know idea. Why did it happen? Don't know. What difference did it make in the world? None that I can tell. Could science explain it? Not really. The only explanation science could offer involves probability but it was the absolute spontaneous knowledge of the event before it happened that is the amazing feature of the incident.

I include this little story to this thread to demonstrate that science has it limitations. The human mind has its limitations. The human brain is part and parcel of time/space and is thus limited. The soul and the spirit are something else though I couldn't begin to delineate where the mind/body leave off and the purely soul/spirit begin. It is too well integrated to make such a clear distinction analytically. Yet in my experience there are moments where one stands out completely from the other.

Is this thread drift? Don't make the Poker Gods angry!
