It’s April of 2024 and Day 18 of the A to Z challenge. This year I am doing the theme of ‘26 Moments’ on my blog. I plan to pull out A to Z parts from diverse set which are more than just the parts and possibly describe the world of their own. It can be a wonder, an invention, a community, the philosophy, a thought, a lead, a culture, a design, or basically anything that would make one wonder and ponder on. 26 imperfect petite flashes that are amongst and around us.
My everyday will have a selection, description, an eight line poem followed by an interpretation.
Day 18: Retroactive Precognition
It’s an interesting experimental work from Dr. Bern when he has published his research work about knowing the future events. As he quotes, ‘anomalous processes of information or energy transfer that is currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms’. With his experimentation, he has concluded that future events could affect a person’s cognition in the present. Now that is something. Are we all influenced in the present by the future that has not happened yet? Well, precognition is phenomenon of seeing or becoming directly aware of events in the future. However, it is widely considered as pseudoscience as of today and is closely related and studied in relation to the dreams. We have had several movies about precognition as well.
Poem:
Those fragments
Of confusions, Illusions
That appear in slits
Could be
Our future
Disappearing
Because of decisions
That we took today.
Does future flash us what we are missing ahead because of decisions that we took today? Is it us being in fear to take the bigger steps? Or a motivation of what could have been us? Everything that ever crosses our mind, does it have a meaning that connects us to the future?
Its PH 
Interesting hypothesis. I also wonder, would you change what you do and how you act in the present if you were aware of future outcomes? Also, depending on circumstances, we may not be the same person in the future, so our actions may be unchanged.

I believe everything is predestined with little left for us to change. The decisions that we make are in sync with destiny.
Though I too google meaning of dreams in the morning if they are too impactful. Astrology, tarot card and hand face reading exist because of our curiosity to know the future but the future remains unknown mostly. Loved the poem 🌸

And maybe that little we have got to change might get us into new paths as well. 😀 Like we might have several destined paths where we get to pick one among.
Agree. Thanks a lot. 😀

VERY profound topic Prakash. I often wonder about Precognition. I used to dream of a person every 4 years. This went on for years. Then I met that person in May 1998. Kevin became my husband October 1999. Sadly he took his own Life July 2003. And every 4 years he comes back in my dreams.
Your poem is really deep & has me thinking alot. Thank you! {{{hugs}}} Sherri-Ellen & ***purrss*** BellaDharma
