Why are we shown about these things coming but our gift doesn’t help us stop it? Last night I could not get to sleep, sitting in the dark by myself I noticed this extreme sadness that over time it has come to mean to me that mass shootings are coming. This sadness is usually a week or two weeks ahead of the incident, but this was last night! How can I make this awareness help stop this horrible event from happening? What am I to take from this shortened time frame? Any help you can give with your experience would be greatly valued. Love and light to you all and especially the grieving families.
@kammermuller
I can totally empathize with you and I am sorry.
You ask a great question.
In a situation like this where we don't know when, where, how and sometimes "what" but we do know something is coming, the one thing we CAN do is pray/send light/ send love and healing to those who will be impacted by the event.. To the person about to commit the crime in the hopes that whatever is driving them to act, they instead seek help or stop the action entirely. To the potential victims and their families. To the first responders and witnesses. For a host of loving angels to be present.
You can also ask us to send light and prayers to lessen, alter, protect others in the path of whatever may occur. I would also ask that the highest and greatest good happen.
There have been times where many people on this site have been concerned about a near future event based upon how they have been feeling or a dream they had. Often MANY of us are picking up similar feeling at the same time. If we can all send light and prayers to potentially shift what might occur or tamp it down, it is possible that it could actually shift or at least that light may shine brightly through the situation.
That is my belief.
I hope it helps.
How many more of our children have to be murdered...at school....before gun violence is addressed in this country???
i'm also furious about this. Look, I get it that this is the prayer and emotional support thread. But when Gov. Kemp offered his thots and prayers today, I almost puked. He ran a campaign ad six years ago where he pointed a rifle at a teenager, in a cheezy and cowardly display of toxic masculinity. Today's shooter would have been 8 years old when that aired.
So what does the Bible, the Infallible Word of God (according to people like Kemp) say about those kinds of thoughts and prayers?
Isaiah 1:15-17.
When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
16 Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
Anyone who fetishises guns is probably already fantasizing about using them. They have murder in their hearts. Pretty sure the kids Mr. K dreams of shooting aren't clean-cut white boys with khaki pants and a button-down mind.
Until Kemp repents, I propose that he be securely locked up in a gun safe, for the safety of teenagers everywhere.

@unk-p I agree with you 1000% plus!!! Kemp and a whole bunch of GQP's posed with rifles and guns ... sickening "family Christmas cards of well dressed caucasians in matching Christmas clothes and holding Al 47's and more and all grinning widely at the cameras - with even toddlers bearing arms!!! WTAF???? Then??? To make it even worse???? They enacted laws for concealed carry and open carry where idiots could take their weapons ANYWHERE they went!!!!! Living around here???? Is like living in the wild , wild west!!!! Keep their damn thots and prayers and DO SOMETHING - mental health care access and strict gun laws for a start!!!! There was also an arrest today in a nearby county of an adult sibling that left his gun unsecured and his 4 year sister got it and shot herself in the head playing with it!!! Of course she is dead!! He? Has been arrested and is being charged with murder for not securing the gun....he lives in one of the counties with lax gun laws.
@lovendures Drat. I had a massage gift card that will expire and am out of town.
I was going to gift it to you.
Stay cool. I have a cousin in AZ, so I hear about that heat.
Oh wow! What a nice thing to offer. I wish I could take you up on it. Thank you for thinking of me.
Regarding violence and manipulation and misuse of power, as that is on the forefront of many of our minds, perhaps we could look inward and ask ourselves how we have misused power and done comparable damage in our own lives.

I love what @lovendures wrote to you. And I want to add what I've often felt is going on when we sense the future. It's difficult to be articulate about this topic. But I will try:
When we sense tragic events unfolding, we are, I feel, existing in the real time of the event. We are energetically present during the event, so in that way, we are like angels, who are present, witnessing and caring, but without physical bodies. I feel an energy transfer is happening when we are sensing and feeling these events. It feels similar to when we hear of someone in pain, and we send them healing. When I send healing, I often feel present with the person. My love goes to them and they are soothed, even healed, by it.
When tragedies unfold, like a shooting, I feel there are angels everywhere helping in ways we cannot see. In some cases, they save someone from being harmed. In other cases, they may only be able to sooth them.
All living creatures are here together, feeling each other, past-present-future, at all times. That's physics.
When we do our reading of the future, we always begin with a loving kindness meditation. We fill up with light and then travel into the future visiting situations as they unfold. In some cases, I am certain we are sending healing.
Sometimes, as Lovendures said, we may be helping to avert the tragedy, or make it less harmful. Many people have reported feeling warned before an event. So perhaps we are part of that warning system. The stronger our skills become, I feel, the more good we do. (At first I wrote, the more GOD we can do, and that little accident made me smile.)
And you, @kammermuller, are such a kind and caring person, that it seems to me that you, on some level, without realizing it, have been one of those angels that people sense are sending love when bad things happen. It's automatic for you, as it is for all of us.
@kammermuller
Your post really resonates with me, and I can sense the deep empathy and awareness you’re experiencing. It’s powerful to acknowledge when we feel such profound emotions ahead of events, even if we can’t always understand or stop what’s coming. I asked this group of lovely humans here the same thing you are asking several years ago, myself. I believe these insights are a reminder of our connection to the energy of the world around us and can perhaps be viewed as a call to raise awareness or a way to send love and light into the world in moments when it’s most needed. Sometimes, our gifts don’t give us the power to prevent tragedy, but they do give us the strength to hold space for healing and reflection. It can be overwhelming to feel sadness or fear when sensing these events, but perhaps focusing on being a source of comfort for others can help direct that energy positively. You are already contributing by sharing your experience here and bringing awareness to these moments.

I’ve been thinking about your post for two days now @Kammermuller. Trying to decide what, if anything, to add to Lovendures, Jeanne, and Tonya. They all gave you wise advice.
I do have some thoughts, but before I begin that, I want to shout-out to @unk-p for the Biblical and oh so right-on (see what I did there? 😉 ) rebuttal to the empty-word-pious-crap-syndrome-pronouncements that these darkened people speak when atrocities occur. The “thoughts and prayers & this is not the time to talk about guns” BS is sickening and indeed, very dark.
In terms of being able to actually change an event, I believe I already told the story about my husband driving taxi one time when he had been laidoff, and being attacked during the exact time our healing group was meeting. We sensed something was wrong with him and immediately sent collective energy toward him. He told me later he had been attacked at knifepoint by a would-be customer and miraculously the knife slipped and he was able to drive away without the robber. He never drove taxi again. Thank heavens! This was an instance in real time where “sending energy”was actually tangible, and made a difference, the difference between injury and safety. The group effort of compounded energy, intangible prayer/energy/healing was instrumental in changing the situation from tragedy to "merely!" a scary incident. That said, one man in a taxi vs. thousands of children and adults killed by domestic terrorists over the past 20+ years are not really the same thing. That same healing group also once helped a breach baby turn around because we were told the mom was in labor “RIGHT NOW can you help”? We sent energy and Love for mom and baby. The baby turned and all was well. The point of sharing these two events is to show that “sending energy, prayers” CAN literally make a difference in a dangerous situation, especially when we know specifics. The other thing, though, is that both of these happened in real time. Both happened exactly as our healing group was meeting. We were asked and we took action. The first was a premonition-but in the NOW-time, not something “to happen” and the second was a friend of the mother who specifically called ahead to tell the group that the birthing was happening and it was not going well.
What about when we don’t know the specifics? What about when we are feeling dread or (in my case elevator tummy) What about the DREAD we feel but don’t know who/how/why/where? I believe @Lovendures,@Jeanne-mayell, and @Tonya gave you some beautiful examples of what can be done and how "just" sending energy does help. We may never know exactly how, but sending Love and Angels and Light always make a difference.
Let me share one thing though, NOT to do, 😲 from my own direct experiences. For three weeks before the Twin Towers were attacked I would wake up in a panic because I could not breathe. I put this down to PTSD from an arson house fire my family and I had lived through a few years earlier. Then came 9/11. I asked the very same questions you are asking Why, WHY do I pickup on this when I can’t do anything about it!

I vehemently told Spirit to stop! Do not ever do this to me again! And they never bothered me again in that particular, global, way. What I did, without really understanding the ramifications, was to not just slam a door to global precognition, but to also literally block Spirit from seeking me in that manner or on anything global. Don’t do this! Spirit respects our requests. Forgive the cliché, but, Be careful what you ask for. My wall didn’t completely stop the “elevator tummy” but it did stop incoming global premonitions almost completely. I never again woke up unable to breathe. I did, luckily, have the sense to qualify my angry cry to them so they could get through to me if any of my loved ones were in danger. The most important thing I did do (and you should also) was to take steps to control the volume of my empathic gift.
To feel more empowered and less just hit with pain, I visualized an old-fashioned radio, one where I could see the volume dials, and especially see the stations (wavelengths), all the call signs i.e., Husband, Sons, Parents, Siblings, Friends. If my tummy started to feel dread I turned the volume down and then went through each “station/vibration” individually. If I got “no” to those specific questions, my tummy went back to normal. The radio still works, I just use it more effectively now. Especially since I have now added a channel for “global” which I am attempting to fine tune (!) into bad USA stuff, other countries, and world-wide situations. I adjust the level of sound (elevator tummy premonitions!) to a level that is comfortable so I can at least focus on sending Light. When I do get a sign (tummy) that I need to listen to the radio, I do. The global station is still pretty fratzy, difficult to hear clearly, but it is at least, on the dial!
Fear (anger, sorrow, empathic pain) causes us to slam doors. It is better to face the fear, and create a way to modulate how or even why a situation we are not involved in, comes to us. It is important to take control of how we receive what Spirit wants us to receive. For me, that control takes the form of an etheric radio through which I can determine how loud empathic energy comes in at any given time.
Like the last Fairy Godmother in Sleeping Beauty, Spirit usually leaves us something to mitigate the effects of the fear. For me, in the two decades following 9/11 I did hundreds of my Oracle Stone readings and my readings became more and more accurate as long as I was reading one-to-one, or for a family. I could read the future for my single Readee, sitting across from me or on the phone, with ease, but I did not receive global premonitions. I honed in on one-to-one and what I call “the emotional/etheric body” and got very, very good at reading the past, current, and future for one-on-one situations. In creating deafness toward global predications my skill level with one-to-one receiving got even better—just as losing one physical sense, like hearing, allows the remaining senses to become more precise.
I do not suggest blocking! Walls are so very difficult to dismantle, even when you want to do so. I DO recommend an Empathic/Etheric Radio with as many “stations” as you would like, clearly defined as to wavelength 😉 as well as strong and very precise volume dials!
In 2016 I was unnerved by t's election and as so many of us were, I was led to Jeanne’s site. I have had a real struggle with Reading the Future because of that block. I’m happy to say it’s diminishing as the bandwidth of my “station” on the Empathic Radio becomes stronger. I’m learning to finesse the “global station” on my Radio, but I still have a long way to go!
So @Kammerfille please, rather than doing what I did back in 2001—tell Spirit to stop sending global disaster premonitions in a way that causes you pain. DO let them know you want and need to know and especially how best to receive the info. Even more, tell them you need to know how to transmute the frustrating incoming feelings into Energy that will help. DO consider an "etheric radio" along with all the wise suggestions Lovendures, Jeanne, and Tonya offered in their posts. Most of all, listen to YOU, to your Light within, for you know the best way to control incoming information to you. Spirit WILL accommodate you, more than you really want if you do not clarify to Them what will work for you. I learned that the hard way!
As I get ready to post this, I am reminded as I so often am, of my favorite saying from Spirit regarding humanity: We are the Fingers, on the Hands, of the Everlasting Arms.
Your Light, your Energy, and your Love does make a difference. I promise you. Namaste

What beautiful responses to the question about what we can do with our gifts. I totally agree that sending light and good energy to whatever feeling comes our way can and does help. We may not know exactly how, but it does help.
I absolutely love the description of an etheric radio from @tesseract -- that makes so much sense to me! I am finding, myself, that having some sort of visual to help me interpret my own intuition and inner state is really, really helpful. I am going to try and see if I can use the radio dials to help me when interpreting my own intuition!
One other visual that helped me in recent months to keep loose and grounded is the visual of a string (think kitchen twine or similar) that is knotted and tangled. Then visualize loosening the knots - slowly and gently releasing the tension and letting the string open up, untangling. When I start to tense up (usually with worry about my kids and school), I take a few moments to visualize that untangling and breathe into the space it creates...telling myself to stay loose and open and grounded, just holding that string in it's loose and gently untangling state. Somehow, it has really resonated with me and allows me to return to better frame of mind as I navigate any stressors.
Finding a way to return to a grounded state has been essential to me being able to roll with whatever stressors are happening around me. And if I can do that, then I am more able to send light, energy, calm, comfort, etc. to different people or events (either in my personal life or globally.)
Having grown up Catholic (though not currently practicing), it is very similar to prayer, but I feel more free to respond with whatever wording comes to mind and in a way that I feel freely allows whatever happens beyond our seeing/knowing to "do it's thing". Same principle, though.
@tesseract wow, thank you for your thoughts and experience on this! I did have a moment of thinking of asking for this to stop but realized this is a gift and there is a reason for it. For now I will send protection, love and healing thought the moment the prescient thoughts happen ( especially to the would be perpetrator) and thank the universe for the warning and ask for solution to be shown to us and ask for clarification for all on how to stop this. (We all know what it is but some are burying the truth deep in their souls). You’re advice and experience has helped frame my response to spirit!
