Theresa Cheung and Julia Mossbridge, "The Premonition Code"

20 Replies, 3568 Views

Theresa Cheung and Julia Mossbridge have written a book about precognition aimed at a popular audience. Its full title is "The Premonition Code: The Science of Precognition, How Sensing the Future Can Change Your Life", and it's due to be published on 18 October:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Premonition-Cod...1786781611

The book will be accompanied by a website, launching on 1 October. This will offer online precognition training and tests, and is also intended to function as a scientific experiment:

Courtesy of the SPR Facebook page, here's an interview with the authors from the "Big Seance" podcast:

Looking at her website, I can't help thinking that Theresa Cheung is an odd bedfellow for an experimental parapsychologist. Apparently her role was to translate what Julia Mossbridge wrote, so that the general reader could understand it ...

Here's a quite detailed but not particularly enthusiastic review of the book by Nemo C. Morck on the SPR website:

The online test/training site is now operating, here:
https://thepremonitioncode.com/tester/

However:
(1) Apparently only those in the USA are able to participate in the experiment.
(2) It says others are allowed to use the site, but - and I don't know whether I'm missing something - when I tried I found the instructions incomprehensible without access to the parts of the book they referred to.

Apart from the precognition technique, which would probably be clearer to those who had read the book, a notable feature of the onine experiment is that - instead of being shown two images and being asked to guess which will be the target, the participant is shown two graphs representing the contents of two images, and is asked to choose between them on that basis. The idea is that if the participants see only the target and not the decoy, they are not likely to pick up information from the decoy precognitively.

The Times of Israel has an article about her:

Neuroscientist says her belief in precognition is more than just a hunch

Promoting an ethical 'Precog' community, futurist Julia Mossbridge's new book presents what she claims is evidence that you can hone your ability to see into the future

Interesting that they feel precognition can change your life, whereas Wargo thinks you see what is ultimately going to happen...

edit: But there are enough precognitive warnings that averted death that I can't help but feel the Fate idea is wrong.

I've been down this route before. If we see a heavy ball rolling down a hillside towards a small child, we can predict that the child will be crushed, and thus forewarned, we can intervene and prevent this disaster. I think the idea of precognitive warnings is similar, we get a picture of a current trajectory, and its outcome - as it appears at that particular instant. Whether or not it actually takes place will depend on very many things, including, but not limited to, our own intervention.
