Retroactive Precognition in A to Z

Prakash Hegade 9 Comments

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?

It’s April of 2023 and Day 18 of the A to Z challenge. This year, I am doing the theme legendary creatures from cultures and folklore and an eight line poem along.

Day 18: Raiju

Culture: Lightning spirit from Japanese mythology

Description: Raiju is a thunder beast. Its body is composed of lightning in the form of a white and blue form of wolf or dog. It also has many other animal representations as well. It gets agitated during thunderstorm otherwise is a calm and harmless creature. The sky has lot more to explore.

Raiju

Be aggressive,
Be hyper excited,
Be psyched,
If you love it.
And then,
Be calm.
To be there,
Aggressive, excited, psyched.  

If you really love something, I wonder how can one stay can calm over it. It just seems impossible thing to do.

Its April of 2019 and Day 18 of A to Z Challenge. I am doing Foreign word/phrase a day and 8 line poem for it.

Word/Phrase: reductio ad absurdum
Language: Latin
Meaning: a method of disproving a premise by showing that its logical conclusion is absurd (example: the earth cannot be flat; otherwise, we would find people falling off the edge)

Poem:
it’s an inspiring world.
memes for topper,
trolls for hard work,
mocks from hater,
chatters from jealous,
ridicules from unfit.
now, haters will call this,
reduction ad absurdum.

Interpretation:
The poem presents the irony of modern society. To thrive, one needs to be focused towards goal and keep the unwanted away.
