In my meditation, glimpses of the future would come to me, precognitive images.
I didn't think of this as a psychic ability. It seemed more a byproduct of a great deal of time spent in a very intense introspection.
These flashes of precognition were puzzling because they were mundane, such as a vision of a coin falling to the floor. Nothing special - but they were little events I would see later in the day.
The question I asked myself was, why did my unconscious focus on these specific occurrences among the various happenings of the day?
The answer, although I have no evidence for proof, seems to be that the cause of those precognitive visions is that they had some level of impressiveness. When I saw the coin drop to the floor it made an impression on me so strongly that it passed precognitively into my meditation.
As von Franz points out (quote A) impressiveness is synonymous with energy, and as the literal meaning shows, the encounter of being impressed is to have the experience "forced in."
With that in mind, I realized the importance of watching for anything during my day that made an impression. Going through life as if asleep, not even noticing the most impressive events is all too easy. But if I can watch and see what it is that makes the coin dropping to the floor so important maybe I can live in a way as someone fully awake.

I like this theory. When I see something while meditating, I get so excited it has impressiveness, no matter what it is. I never considered it could be somethig about to happen. I was thinking more of symbols or past lives.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, the other day i was doing automatic writing and I got owl, after meditating I fliped some cards(this is to develop my intuition) and the card that came up had an owl above the womans head. It definitely had impressiveness.
Thank you for writing these posts, I am getting things from them which will definitely help with my journey!
