I was going to put this in the standard 'Coincidences' thread, or perhaps equally-contentuously into a telepathy or remote sensing discussion, but: this time I feel the concept of intuition is a better fit.
A long-term acquaintance of mine (I see him no more that once a year at an annual event, he's now well into his 80s) spoke with me in quite a bit more detail regarding his life and personal history just over a month ago during what was a chance meeting.
In the normal course of events, I would definitely never have thought of him (nor met him) until August next year, but on Sunday night (48hrs ago) I suddenly had a very-strong mental image of him: I mean quite seriously, I intuitively did wonder "hmm...perhaps he has died?" (morbid, but inescapably possible)
Yesterday, I had a missed call on my mobile from an unknown number. It was from my old friend, saying he'd emailed me yesterday (on Sunday, to an old email address that I rarely check) and was wanting to talk about bequeathing me a framed print that he knew was of interest.
Beyond all unreasonable doubt: I knew with absolute certainty that this ancient old friend was either dead, in trouble, or wanting to talk with me. Thankfully it was the latter case...
I cannot over-emphasise how strong this impossible sense of intuition was: and just to be clear, he has never phoned or emailed me ever before (I mean since the inception of public email and mobile phones).
And since my gut was right overall about this, I'm also going to go with the proposition that this was a genuine case of accurate intuition, rather than telepathy (I knew something was definitely up: but no detail....I *still* haven't read the email yet)
Effectively what I somehow knew, is that I absolutely had to contact him back. Which I will do: tomorrow (well, today, it's already tomorrow).
And I may tell him that I intuited his email notifier...
