Feinberg thought that precognition was a case of "remembering" one's own future mind.

Larry Dossey, in his book Recovering the Soul, says that we do this by reaching into the vast inner space of our eternal, nonlocal mind.10 We know from our own parapsychological research that this mind exists, and that it transcends both space and time. Nonlocality has come to the forefront recently in quantum physics, with credible laboratory experiments to demonstrate its existence. For example, in these experiments, when one measures the polarization of a pair of photons born in the same interaction, but traveling in opposite directions, the polarization of one photon appears to be altered by the mere act of observing the other. Since the two photons are traveling away from each other at the speed of light, this startling correlation appears to be a strong violation of Einstein's special theory of relativity. Einstein correctly recognized this effect, and thirty years before the experiments were performed, he wrote (mistakenly, it turned out) that this violation of special relativity was a demonstration of a weakness in quantum mechanics. David Bohm calls this demonstrated nonlocal interaction "quantum interconnectedness." |

A more down-to-earth occurrence of nonlocality is the phenomenal connection between identical twins separated at birth and reared apart from each other. A fascinating book I read many years ago described the reunion of male twins meeting each other for the first time at age thirty, after growing up on opposite coasts of the United States. Each had become a telephone company linesman, married a woman named Linda, and had a dog named Penny. When they were brought together for the first time, both were wearing blue work shirts, white pants, gold-rimmed glasses, and had mustaches. Doubtless, the coincidence was due in part to their common genetics, but their truly incredible commonality certainly supports the idea of a psi connection a bridge between their nonlocal minds. |

This "collective unconscious mind" has been called by many names, and described by philosophers for millennia. Two thousand years ago Patanjali, the Hindu philosopher and Sanskrit writer of the Yoga Sutras (aphorisms or teachings), taught that we obtain psi data by accessing what has |
