Explaining precognitive and synchronistic experiences

The doyen of precognition, fictional and IRL, is perhaps Philip K Dick: so much so that psychologist Anthony Peake wrote an entire book about this aspect. I didn't particularly like or agree-with much of the theorizing; but the subject matter certainly seems valid. 

As has happened before several times, a question or query from William James Tychonievich has extracted an answer; the production of which made me think a bit harder and more specifically than I wanted. 

The context was a discussion at his main blog, concerning the nature of Time; and the class of experiences that get termed "precognitions" - but also (relatedly, as it seems to me) synchronicities. 

I first put forward the basis of my explanations: 

In a nutshell; I think that most experiences that contradict modern concepts of clock time, are explicable on the basis that all Beings are eternal. We (and they - all other Beings - including God the Creator) were always around, and always will be around - and Beings have potential for direct inter-Being knowing, and communications. This (I think true) assumption has vast potential implications - and may serve as the basis for alternative (but mostly unconsidered) explanations for many paranormal and supernatural experiences to do with time, precognition, reincarnation, destiny etc.

To which William responded:

"Bruce, I'm not sure how that would explain most instances of apparent precognition." 

To which I produced the following reply:  

The difficulty with precognition is that most definitions of the things are (from my POV) metaphysically impossible - so that what is being explained is the experience, and the experience is (more like) that, sometimes, something, with some very specific similarities, is fore-seen by somebody. 

IMO The precog experience relates to a tiny and discrete slice cut from the continuum of a reality whose only Real division is between Beings - all the other divisions being hypothetical "models" designed to "save the appearances". 

A precog experience might be caused by one Being (as it were) announcing to another that he knows about something specific that will be encountered, or that he will be creating/ making some specific change - at some point in the future. And then the Being doing something like engineering the specific encounter (as best he may, typically incompletely, by influencing "behaviour") or making that thing happen (as best he may, usually approximately, by similar means). 

This raises the question of "why?". There might be an intent to harm, or to provide some worldly benefit - but I tend to think that most of these attributions are secondary and after the fact, and to the extent that they are true they are at least somewhat manipulative. 

The primary Good impulse behind two Beings interacting is more like the desire/ need for relationship. 

In other words Love is the impulse - when "Love" is seen as dynamic, purposive, and having "creating" as intrinsic to it. 

This is a gross overgeneralization of what may be a multitude to relationships between many specific Beings - but precogs and synchronicities could be understood as rather crude and ineffectual forms of attempted relationship between other Beings, and oneself... Perhaps a way of getting attention, an intended start-point to something more. 

I am pretty sure, however they are explained, that synchronicties and precog experiences are meant to be (as they were for me) a means to an end, not an end in themselves; the Start of a process of re-orientation, of challenging false and harmful metaphysical assumptions. 

In other words - "the medium is the message": it is the form rather than the content of precog/ synch experiences that matters. 

(Which also fits with the fact that the experiences are nearly always "useless" - in this-worldly pragmatic terms. People who get them a lot don't usually thrive in a this-worldly and social sense - indeed, often the opposite. The intended benefit of a typical specific experience of precog - if any benefit is intended - is directed at the experiencing person and his spiritual development, assumptions, motivations etc.)
