Premonitions

"Just" stories? You decide. I'm reminded of the capricious way we physicians regard patients' stories in medicine. If you don't like the story, you call it an anecdote. If you like it, you call it a case history.

Evidence suggests that the use of premonitions in business is widespread and is correlated with financial success. The favored term for this ability is not premonitions, however, but "business intuition."

Premonitions are often regarded as unrelated to spirituality, but there are profound connections. The most obvious involves love.
