suppose your life is a movie film you decided to slip into for your own purposes. In this movie time is appearing as linear; a series of events one after the other in logical order. but it's only one of many movies in which you play a starring role as center of the universe.  suppose the past is ongoing, alive and vital and could be selected to view as on the tv set of your mind.  suppose there's a caveman living his life in this other movie and he's you, but he does not suspect he has a future self starring in another movie, just a flip of the channel selector away; however you are aware of him.

as for psychic abilities, cave people have to be very alert to survive. being in a state of alertness like that might very well induce psychic information to come in. they would also communicate with sign language and mental telepathy I surmise. lol. one long grunt with an exclamation on the end would mean NO! two short grunts slightly higher pitched might mean yes.

lol. go there in your imagination. no telling what u might get! love, alysia

R.S.,

The ability to think doesn't seem to be an attribute we gain from living as humans on earth. Rather, the soul thinks from the moment it is conceived from a greater Thought. Although, it's sense of self may take "time" to mature. In fact, the physical universe could be deduced as emanating from a first Thought, if one continues to follow that line of thinking, pardon the pun. It is interesting though the parallel between soul thinking and human thinking. I don't quite understand how a physical brain, and a non-physical soul can do such a similar task. Unless this tells us something about how the brain works.
As far as what an early hominid would see in the afterlife. Well, in our astral form, we can create anything we like and we will probably create objects and landscapes similar to what we perceived while we are on Earth. So the caveman, may've created mostly natural settings. One thing I've noticed in my astral adventures, is sometimes I come across "old" technology like radios, old-style computer terminals, and 70's style TV sets. And other times I come across 3-D TV's. I guess what I'm seeing is a reflection of different people's thoughts that come from the time period they lived in either the past or will live in the future.
