![]() It was pleasingly fitting to experience a few of these while reading New Yorker staff writer Sam Knight's first book, The Premonitions Bureau: A True Account of Death Foretold, whose main subject matter sits at the intersection of coincidence and the supernatural. To the extent that her dreams are accurate, she is tuning into higher consciousness where past, present, and future are no longer separate.For a while last year, I started using a little notebook to keep track of all the coincidences and synchronicities I encountered.Īt first, it was eerie: People brought something up in conversation that I'd just been writing about the day before I'd notice the name of a production company in a film I was watching was identical to a key term in a subject I had been researching that morning two books I was reading at the same time, one fiction and one nonfiction, both referenced the same historical anecdote.Įven though I've long misplaced the notebook, I continue to pay attention to these odd moments of serendipity. Your mother’s premonitions are not making something come true. I wonder if your mother has such an opening in some of her dreams. Some people may get flashes of awareness of some aspect of this expanded consciousness from time to time even if they do not dwell in superconscious awareness like great masters. Yogananda himself gave hints about future events including his own passing. Yogananda also related times when his guru, Sri Yukteswar, saw into the future including his own death. Yogananda implored his father to travel home but his father doubted and delayed so when they arrived she had already passed away. His mother had been perfectly well when they left. In his book Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda relates that as a boy he was traveling with his father when he was awakened from sleep with a vision of his Mother calling to him to come home right away as she was dying. When so attuned, visions of future events are possible. In samadhi, the state of union with God that may be experienced by deep meditators, our consciousness is completely attuned to the divine consciousness. ![]() You can read the entire poem here: Samadhi / Whispers From Eternity.
