Bin asked me why a prediction he made was partially correct, but off. It's a good question and our attempt to answer it raises our understanding of how prophecy works. I invite people to jump and share their thoughts.
1. The biggest source of errors comes from our interpretation of what we are getting.
We use both parts of the brain when we do predictions. First we use the psychic part to pick up an energy in the future. That part comes from mindfulness or present-moment sensing. It comes from feeling emotionally, feeling with our bodies, hearing, inner seeing, inner smelling,-- in short, all the five senses plus emotion. It does not come from our thinking analytical mind.
But once we sense something psychically, we have to use our thinking, analytical mind to figure out what the heck we were sensing. We have to draw on the hard drive of our brain, i.e., our memory, for something familiar in our past to figure out what we are sensing psychically.
It's that analytical part that causes errors.
Case in point: No one saw the Internet coming. Not Edgar Cayce, nor Nostradamus, nor any of the great psychics. The closest was fiction writer Ray Bradbury in his dystopian short story Fahrenheit 451, published in 1953, Bradbury imagined that in the future everyone would have wall to wall tv screens and engage in mindless interactive reality shows with the people in the screens. At the time of his writing, about a third of the U.S. had televisions with tiny screens. Pretty good prophecy, Ray.
Readers also make mistakes when they are biased emotionally or analytically. Right wing psychics saw Romney winning the 2012 election. Politically oriented liberal psychics saw Hillary win the 2016 election. In a July 2016 meditation, I saw a vision of Trump standing on the Inaugural platform on January 20, 2017, looking like Mussolini. But I told myself he was just there in spirit. I thought Hilary has to win.
So to answer Bin's question: Your mistakes are mistakes in interpretation.
2. The other way you can be wrong is to mix together two events in the future and think they are one event. Zoron did this when he combined a vision of a violent right wing attack in a Southern City with a movie that came out about the Chicago riots. Both happened in the future and when he was reading it, he thought it was one event - a riot and a right wing in Chicago. He also mentioned the southern city but was unsure.
I mixed together the image of a big bad new normal that would happen during the first half of 2017 with the chant, Texas, Texas, Texas. i had gotten those two visions in a Read the Future night in mid 2016. I am still unsure what the texas vision meant. Perhaps it's that Texas is ground zero for the ultra right new normal we live in right now.
The future is also dynamic, not set in stone. You can have vivid impressions of a possible future outcome that ends up not happening, because the free will of people or other events (related to nature and such) can move things in a completely different direction. For what it's worth, I think this is what happened with the last election. I do believe Clinton was set to win until a series of events (Comey, Russian intervention, race-baiting, democratic voter apathy) ALL converged to push trump over the line. However, other predictions, such as Jeanne's prediction that the president in 2017-2018 would come close to impeachment, would have happened no matter the outcome of the election. My two cents ..
I totally agree, Lynnventura. Its something we have talked about here, especially Jeanne and Zoron. G. will say 40% probability or 50% probably but the numbers may change. It makes me laugh but I love it because it's true.
I like to pick up probabilities but i never get personally invested in the outcome because as the saying goes, fate can change in an instant or more sadly so, in a heartbeat.
I've a always seen the negative imagery and felt other's negative vibes tell me horrible stories about them, first.
It's very, very hard to continually deal with that in others, knowing the other is our own shadow self.
So, it's made me almost always positive, happy person..the yin and the yang and that flowing center place where the edges meet. If I walk there, that sacred, amazing change can be possible.
But this is how we will get through these cleansing then healing times, all of us together.
Glad you're a member of our tribe!
Agree with everything Jeanne and Lynnventura said. There is something else as well, which is that we simply don't see what we don't want to see. That's why most psychics can't predict their own death, even if they are pretty good at seeing the deaths of other people. I suspect that the reason many left-wing psychics didn't see Trump winning is because they really, really didn't want him to win. And it explains as well something that was mentioned here before, that left-wing and right-wing psychics often see different things when making political predictions. That's why ideally, you'd like a diversity of outlooks, because different people have different blind spots.
