comes, of course, from the boulder downstream. This is a case where the effect may be experienced before we see its cause. Physicists, these days, are calling this situation ''stochastic (or probabilistic) causality," which is like a temporal uncertainty principle in the turbulent flow. |

Retro-Causal Healing:
What Does Precognition Have to Do with Healing? |

We have just described a hypothetical example in which we saved Brown from being trapped in an avalanche, by sending him information that could be useful to him, even though it was sent after the event occurred. This makes us ask, "Can we send healing thoughts into someone's past, to help them be less sick then they presently are?" Researcher William Braud and many others think that this is a possibility worth investigating. Surprisingly, there are data that suggest we can facilitate this healing, so long as no one knows how sick the patient really is. According to the Observational Theory of psi, an early and definitive diagnosis of an illness might serve to "lock in" the illness, thereby making it impossible to affect or cure it retro-causally. Whereas, if you see a healer when you are suffering only from vague, undifferentiated complaints, she might still be able to reach into your past and send you healing information that you can incorporate into your physiology in a health-promoting way. There are actually two groups of laboratory data that support this remarkable assertion. |

We are all familiar with the idea of a premonition, in which one has inner knowledge of something that is going to happen in the future usually something bad! There is also the experience of presentiment, where one has an inner sensation, a gut feeling that something strange is about to occur. An example would be for you to suddenly stop walking down the street because you felt "uneasy," only to have a flowerpot then fall off a window ledge and land at your feet instead of on your head. That would be a useful presentiment. |

In the laboratory, we know that if we show a frightening picture to a person, there will be a significant change in his or her physiology. Their |
