I have just rewatched an episode of the TV series “Grimm” titled “El Cuegle” (see here and here).
In that, a “Wesen” character is trying to prevent future catastrophes by killing young who that character considers (as a result of the character’s alleged precognition) will grow into major wrongdoers later. A fictional example is cited in the episode as “proof” that this could happen, and the episode is written in such a way as to suggest that the events of the episode - including attempts to arrest the allegedly precognisant character - will cause the conditions that are trying to be prevented.
OK, so, first and foremost, this is a fictional episode. However, there are some points worth noting:
- in the context of the characters involved, the protagonists have used reference to masks etc as “explanations” of what people have seen. If they had done so in this instance, it may well have prevented the dangerous and escalating tensions in the relationship which it is suggested will lead to the later murder of the parents - their failure to do so is an example of being a bystander rather than an upstander;
- as written, both parental characters are flawed: the mother is an over-sharer, and the father is driven by fear of social embarrassment. Both of these characteristics are harmful, but both are also manageable. Should either or both seek counselling in a few years for those problems, that may well be enough to prevent the later catastrophe - which is an illustration of the importance of knowing thyself, and being committed to being better humans;
- there are potential dangers in precognition - of which the one shown in this episode (causing a condition by trying to prevent it) is but one.
Other potential problems include the harm that can be done by acting on an alleged precognition that is wrong, and the loss of personal growth and development by attempting to “cheat” on life by “getting the answers”. In my opinion, precognition can be a useful tool, but mainly if it is used to improve awareness of what could happen, with a view to making sure one is better prepared.
I also consider one should not ask questions (generally - not only in precognition / divination) unless one has done the personal development work to be genuinely able to cope with the full range of possible answers.
Food for thought, perhaps ...
Possible flaws
Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:
- there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
- I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).Copyright © Kayleen White 2007-2024 NO AI
