I sometimes wonder if âprecognitionâ isnât just a very fancy form of pattern recognition and extrapolation from patterns which are intuited.
Iâve been practicing more and more with this one stoplight near my home. âKnowingâ whether the left-turn lane or the straight through lane will turn green first.
It isnât 100% but itâs getting higher and higher.
When I get near the intersection, I think âI wonder whichâŚâ and by now, just starting that âwonderingâ process gives me a sense of which one.
Usually it seems like a very rapid flash of visual imagery.
I used to think it was whichever light seems âBrighterâ in my visions, but it turns out itâs whichever one I ânoticeâ first in the vision.
this entire process is going faster and faster now too. Much less than half a second even. just BLIP.
My theory at first was that my brain/SubC/intuition/whatever is going on is taking in all the situational cues visually and whatever else to sorta âpredictâ which of the 2 lights will turn green first.
I started firing off the process when coming down the cross-street that I turn onto to get to that lightâŚand at first it didnât fare well.
But even that is starting to increase in the percentage of âHitsâ to âMIssesâ.
Another thing I think helps is if I âmiss,â I donât beat myself up. I just think 'I wonder what I could have done differently for that to be a miss" and then let the thought go.
Iâm curious if Terminus Squared would help with this little experiment of mine somehow.
