But it was her own experience with these strange, psychic “gut feelings” that led her to study them in the first place. She says these memories from the future could mean the notion of time might not be as linear as we imagine. “It’s not hard to understand precognition,” says Mossbridge, Senior Distinguished Fellow in Human Potential at the Center for the Future Mind and founder of the Mossbridge Institute. This unshakable feeling that something will transpire in the future is ancient among shamans and mystics, yet it remains unexplained. Regardless, the phenomenon of precognition is backed by statistics—it’s just a matter of proving what the mechanism could be, Mossbridge says.
