The Second Sight, better known as precognition or presentiment, is a predictive gift that dates back to the Old Testament and in mystical texts from around the world. Oracles, shamans and monks of the past offered intuitive guidance and insight to royalty and politicians based on precognition (detecting future events mentally across space and time) or presentiment (sensing a future event physically in the body), but our modern use and understanding of this extraordinary ability has lapsed into skepticism and ignorance.
