I do not think the 4th dimensional higher self can be damaged or hurt by anything on the physical plane. There is so much violence on this world, wouldn't everybody be receiving these messages about impending trauma? If it could feel pain then it could also feel pleasure, and we would all be receiving guidance pushing us all towards pleasure but this is not the higher self...this is the EGO. The higher self can see farther than our physical selves, it can see the future better than we can. A timeless dimension without the divine feminine creating - maintaining and destroying is to exist in a moment forever, to be static forever....that is not part of our universe. Time can flow forward and backward, speed up and slow down but can never stop.
So what is precognition? To me, it is communication, from the higher self that can see farther than I and is interested in my welfare for a reason. The higher self is interested in teaching, guidance, evolving us. To become more than animal, to look up rather than look down. These precognition communications are sent to keep the student alive longer, to learn more....some students are open to learning some are not. The whole purpose of life is to evolve...to move away from animal ego to become a more spiritual being. When you move the ego aside, and clear your Karma, energy moves up the spine to the higher self, it moves from the material to the spiritual.....
In the metaphor I used concerning damage to one's 4th dimensional self I wasn't referring to actual physical pain. I meant a kind of damage that affects the 4th dimensional self in a permanent negative way. For example, if you developed a debilitating limp from breaking your leg. That limp would affect you the rest of your life possibly causing you to miss out on beneficial experiences (like running in a marathon where you meet your spouse for example). But if you didn't break your leg than your life would be different and you could participate in events that would give you different experiences. Think of it like your 4th dimensional self actively developing itself in a positive way by affecting it's 3rd dimensional self.
Why don't we all receive these messages? You said it yourself; "some students are open to learning some are not". Maybe they can't or won't hear / see what's being sent. Also, no two people learn the same way. I think my theory also fits into your statement, "The whole purpose of life is to evolve." Why couldn't one's 4th dimensional self actively evolve itself by communicating with it's 3rd dimensional self in order to change 3rd dimensional events? Maybe my 4th dimensional self is interacting with my 3rd dimensional self so BOTH can learn and evolve. Maybe that interaction is only one tool one's 3rd and 4th dimensional selves use to evolve.
In all actuality I don't know why precognition exists or why I have precognitive episodes. Unfortunately there's no scientific method to find out why precognitive episodes take place or what purpose they serve in concern to the bigger picture. I think trying to figure it out is like a caveman trying to figure out why the moon gradually disappears and reappears every month. It's fun to speculate though.
