Tim, you must pick up Meeting The Universe Halfway by Karen Barad. She is the physics thread between Wargo and Kripal. Transgendered feminist scholar with a theoretical physics doctorate. Imagine what she threaded. Allow me to whet your appetite:
“The existence of the quantum discontinuity means that the past is never left behind, never finished once and for all, and the future js not what will come to be in an unfolding of the present moment; rather the past and the future are enfolded participants in matter’s iterative becoming. Becoming is not an unfolding in time, but the inexhaustible dynamism of the enfolding of mattering.”
“Memory does not reside in the folds of individual brains; rather, memory is not a record of a fixed past…and remembering is not a replay of a string of moments, but an enlivening and reconfiguring of past and future that is larger than any individual…The past is never finished…we never leave it and it never leaves us behind.”
Ah this makes sense. I can feel the aesthetics of the animate oozing from your corner here on Substack. You’ve been taken over and possessed, and are singing from the rooftops right now. You know that all will be revealed. I know the feeling in your chest right now. Makes me want to go live inside Archives Of The Impossible and never leave, right? My current iteration began by picking up Mutants and Mystics after hearing about it on an Otherworld podcast about UFOs. Get this: I go over to Christmas dinner at my girlfriend’s house with it in hand. Her dad cocks his head sideways to look at the title I have in tow: “Jeff Kripal? I played football with him in high school. Weird kid. Wanted to be a monk.”
You’ve got me hyperaware. Last night I dreamed about watching a play with lots of sword fighting. Woke up and opened BlueSky and one of the first few posts had a photo of a fencing competition. Was it precognition? Does it matter if it was? I suspect many of these connections are so trivial we don’t think about them for more than a few seconds.
So glad to read this. May I please quote you in a subsequent post? I'm trying to create a sense of community here. No problem if you don’t want to. I can use a pseudonym…
Or maybe rather seasons of being keyed in to that precognition thats always running in the background when at other times it might not be felt so viscerally?

I have it and read it a lot!

Of course.

That would be fine.
Thank you
How would you explain seasons of precognition?
