Hey guys, sorry about yesterday, the surgery took me down for the day. But once again I was greeted with kind emails and messages, thanx so much to you all.
I have an interesting post today that I’m excited to discuss. When it comes to Metaphysics you know I’m on the team. Have you seen the movie “NEXT” starring Nicolas Cage, Jessica Biel, and Julianne Moore? It was kind of a sleeper movie, but I caught it the other day and it was just up my alley. A VERY good film that covers the topic of Precognition quite well. If you’re interested in ESP you’re going to like this movie. It’s about a Magician who has been able to see 2 minutes into his own, (and only his own) future, since birth. This ability, of course, has landed him a starring role in the world of Las Vegas. However, this is not the focus of the movie, the focus is on his ability to see two minutes into the future and the FBI’s interest in using his gift to save L.A. from a nuclear explosion. In the mix is Jessica Biel who has been appearing to the gifted performer since he was a child. The fact that when he meets her, after having searched for her for many years, he finds that he can “see” further into the future (24 hours) but only where the future concerns Her. From there the film soars and takes you through an amazing ride of what’s real and what’s not. The plot twists are magnificent.
Nicolas Cages character, is blessed with the gift of “Precognition”. Let’s talk about that a moment. The word Precognition is often confused with premonition or prophecy, all of which, fall under the category of ESP or Extra Sensory Perception. So please, allow me to simplify the definitions of these words, because if you look them up, you will find overly complicated wording that makes it difficult to separate them.
1.) PRECOGNITION : The acquisition of future information that cannot be deduced by our normal senses, and is based on facts and details that are obtained from dreams or visions.
2.) PREMONITION : Acquiring information about future events that are perceived as emotion; or a “feeling” that something is about to happen, normally, something dire.
3.) PROPHECY : Can be the same as the other two but, the source of the information is attributed to God or some supernatural force.
Of course all of these are sub-categories of ESP, and eventually fall under the heading of “Metaphysics”. Duke University has a well respected Department of Parapsychology and they have done some studies that have conclusively, found that more than 60%, of persons questioned believe in precognition and ESP. However the Scientific community does not agree, and for a very good reason. It violates the principal of “Causality” which states: An effect cannot occur before it’s cause. In my humble opinion, Science and Metaphysics will eventually come together out of necessity. It is inevitable. This blog concerns itself self with energy. Thoughts are made of energy, and everything in the known Universe is made of energy, including things not yet understood. Such as Precognition…….
This film “NEXT” dives mightily into the world of precognition. If you don’t know anything about this subject matter you will by movies end. This film was a surprise and an unbelievable representation of Metaphysics at work in the world. A world that we will soon be witness to. A world that is rolling up on us at amazing speeds. We will soon be witnessing people with all kinds of metaphysical capabilities. As sure as you can say the word evolution, the gifted will be among us……..I am Dartanion2 and that’s the way I see it…………..cheers……t xx
Metaphysics and the Movies according to Dartanion2 
I think I`ve seen the film as it sounds familiar but it must have been a while ago. I`ve also seen a film where Nick`s children go with tall aliens into their ship because the world is ending and they are collecting all the children to save who they can. I`m no good at describing films T but I`ve seen something along those lines.
I would love to be able to go to the Duke Uni just to see what they can do and how advanced they are through the proper training. I think the scientific community can be a bit narrow minded where things like this are concerned, sometimes I think it`s because they can`t explain it even though they know people can and do practice these talents and there are several famous Mediums who are highly intuitive.
The series called Medium is based on a real mediums life where she does actually help to solve crimes ( I can`t remember her name! sorry ) and has been very successful. She gets her visions through dreams and also her two daughters have the same abilities. It is a well known fact that these talents run in families, commonly on the female side but not always. Have you ever seen the medium John Edward, he is American, I think he`s from New York going by the sound of his accent. I would give absolutely anything to go and meet him and have a reading from him, he is just the best medium I`ve ever seen.
I hope you are feeling much better today sweety and I`ll look forward to chatting with you later. Love G xx
Hi G, the medium you speak of is named Allison Debois, and yes the series is based upon her gift of esp, visions, dreams, etc…and her daughters too. I find that series very interesting.
Duke University is here in NC where I live, and it has an outstanding reputation as being top notch in medicine and science study. You are so right that the scientific community does not know what to do with intuition or unexplained anomalies that science cannot physically prove. It is dismissed because humanity is vain when it comes to things out of their control. It makes them feel powerless….when in fact, metaphysical gifts are the most powerful energy there is…coming from the ultimate power source..our loving God.
Tony, you did a great job telling us about “Next” and explaining the differences between premonition, precognition, and prophesy. I always learn.
I too hope you are feeling better today, got some rest, and look forward to talking later. xox C
Thanks C, so have you been over to Duke? I’d love to know what that parapsychology dept. was like……just a thought…….Yep, I always try to explain the differences between those three manifestations of ESP…because they are always being mis-used and misunderstood. Personally, I’m about to do a post on “POWDER” the best film ever, on developing energy and a probable next phase of human evolutrion. That movie is SOOOOO GOOOOD……….this guy is Electrolysis incarnate…..an INCREDIBLE look at energy being manipulated by man….can’t wait to do that post……….thanx for commenting girlfriend…..and for commenting on Georgies comment too……smiles…..tony…xx
Hi georgie, I agree with you, so much, about the scientific community. They aren’t quite ready to admit it yet, but they the change is coming. I’ve been to the Parapsychology department at Berkely (excellent place by the way) and they agree that Duke is the only department that can challenge theirs. But when you talk to these guys about Metaphysics, either their eyes light up, or they shut right down….but you can tell they know something extraordinary is coming, or already there and they’re just not talking yet. About that show “Medium” first, do you remember my post on “Stigmata”,? That’s the same actress, her name is Patricia Arquette.and she does a stellar job in both. She’s very believeable in those roles because she has a genuine interest in ESP. It’s one of her things (hobbies)…..I think i’ll watch some of the old episodes of “Medium”….wanna collaborate on a post G?……this would be good one I thjink……uto you my friend……let me know…….thanks for the input sister-girl………smiles ……..chuffin’ smiles…….t xx
