Insights into the Future

[Athena]

It looks like seeing into our past is a fairly common occurance, and things like hypnotherapy can help us access our past lives and roles and lessons.

But can we also access our future roles and lives?

Psychics can do this for us apparently with knowledge from our guides and higher selves, so shouldn't we have access to the same knowledge with hypnotherapy or future-life progression?

[alexb5784]

We can't go into the future because we are already living in it. Even though we can get help from our psychic guides to help us create better futures, we can only live in the present moment. The past is just thoughts. The immediate future is only a creation of our thoughts too.

When we were children, we had one version of the future. But as time went by, we used our imaginations to create a different future. And our imaginations have created the present.

It's best we get bits and pieces of what our lives can be like tomorrow, but not a full blown detailed plan. If we knew everything that would happen tomorrow, then we wouldn't be motivated to go on living. When life is too predictable, we lose motivation to create progress. The unknown is good.

And life is full of possiblities. Depending on my decisions and actions right now, I could create 384,494,495 versions of the future. We don't just have one future, we have an infinite amount. Each thought or action we take right now, creates a new future. It's my belief that we can only direct where we want our lives to be tomorrow, but not know what's exactly going to happen when we get there.

Thanks for your thoughts, Alexia.


I should add that I believe that our life roles and paths are both divinely designated and that we have free will only within certain bounds, as though we were traveling through a river-- the river is pre-plotted for us either by God or a higher force with which we collaborate and plan our lives before being born-- so the river is already there, and our free will while in phyiscal form can only extend to the banks of the river. That way we still have a bit of flexibility in our will and lives, but our general path and purpose are still fulfilled, AND we stay safe and on the general path all the way through.


While it is true that it appears there can be many versions of the future, there are still many things that are steadily predictable, that occur in solid paths or cycles- for instance, that in March spring will come and the snow will disappear and the weather will start to turn warmer here. Tomorrow may be 34 degrees or 40 degrees it doesn't matter, some variation will be there, but on the whole the temperature will get warmer and spring will certainly come. Seasonal cycles and destinational paths still have predictable elements.

Is it also true that some people often can predict elements of the future, for example visionaries and sages, right?

So, by extension, I think that our lives also have predictable elements.. maybe my question presupposes belief in divinely ordained paths, but it seems like we should be able to access the future much like we can the past.

[alexb5784]

You've made a great point and I agree that some things are predictable like the weather. And I agree that we have a fixed purpose but an infinite number of ways we can express it.

Having said that, now I'm wondering the same thing you were when you first made this post!

Thanks for helping me see this from a different perspective

The bible says that there is nothing new under the sun. So if you not merely learn the facts of history but learn to read history you will have a very good idea of what is to come in a very basic way. The only thing that change are the players. We are born, we live, and the day come when we die. What we do in between the two points really does not matter. If you happen to live in the poorest of conditions or have more than we could ever spend the end does come. The only thing we can hope and pray for is health and happiness and experience the joy of helping another........Lets not forget the reality and horror of war........This is our future...Peace.......Eli..........

What Eli says about the Bible makes sense. Other texts also remind us thay History tends to repeat itself.
I think its especially useful to ask ourselves why we wish to know our futures before they happen.

If you were told you would die suddenly, you might live life more intensely now, but what would prevent you from doing that without knowing the future? What would you wait for news of a crisis to prompt positive change?

Twenty years ago, a friend of mine was asked if he was happy at work. He didn't initially answer. Then, he was asked if he knew anyone who had been at the same office 5-10years longer than him. He replied-"yes." He realized he didn't wish to evolve into those individuals who had lived the same life he did, only longer. Thus, he took steps to change his life choices and has since become very successful in other fields. The point to this story is we can all predict certain things about our futures based on how we act or don't act in our lives now. How we intuit and understand our feelings and whether we listen to ourselves, determines if we evolve into more meaningful futures.

You can see your future. I have seen mine. I can also see someone's probable future path from their current thoughts.

I have visited my future self and spoken with her, I can only do this when I am in alignment with the future she is in, which happens to be my reality of choice.

I picked up on someone's thoughts and saw the path they were on, unexpected development along with telepathy. I told this woman she had a crush on her boss, and he was single and she wanted to get with him, and then I saw, unexpectedly, that she would get with him and it was what she wanted. She was quite stunned especially as she was a random customer in my shop.

So you can see your probable future from current thinking.

I can see my future from current thinking and I am gonna munch some chinese food.

I haven't tried, I consciously turn my awareness toward people when I want to know but I think they have to be around me.

I haven't experimented with it much. Sort of came after channelling and it was unexpected.

Well I tried it with you, I got something to do with a job and you settled down married with a kid, happy.

Any truth or it doesn't work over the internet. Oh you want something you have intended for, you want it alot, it has crossed your mind just now.

A couple of months ago, I had a memory of the future (travelled on my timeline) and saw myself moving in to LOL-Man's house in the early Spring.

Guess what I'm doing today?
