I have an hypothesis about what’s going on when we see visions of the future.
When we meditate on the future, we find ourselves focusing on the consciousness or prevailing thoughts of the time we are meditating on. But we only see what we ourselves will be experiencing in the future.
The media plays a huge role in what we see. It creates a wave of consciousness that hits us in the future, provided we open to that consciousness.
The visions we actually report to this website are those that are clear enough to us that we can figure out what they are – at least partially.
For us to figure out what the visions are, we have to have a data bank in our minds about the subject. They may also have to be visions that we will later learn about.
That means that we are seeing our own future, i.e., news stories we as individuals will be reading or hearing about.
Thus Trump-supporting students don’t usually report the news that liberals read in the future, while liberals see the news and events that liberals are reading about. So if you are only watching FOX news, you are not going to hear most of what the rest of the mainstream press is reporting and visa versa. What you will see are the events that you are interested in seeing in the future.
We could do an experiment and divide up people’s predictions by their political affiliation. I believe will see vastly different predictions. I’ve seen this in professional psychics’ predictions. Psychics who live in Hollywood tend to report celebrity news. People who are interested in the Royals often see their news. U.S. readers don’t pick up as much about the international news as readers who are living abroad.
We also can mix up events and think several events are one event. Earlier this year, Zoron accurately predicted alt right violence in a southern city. This was an amazingly clear vision that Zoron is famous for. He also thought that part of this wave of violence would involve race riots in Chicago. It was all part of one big vision he had. It turns out that the Chicago violence was coming from footage that would later be shown on national television of a movie about the Chicago riots.
The audio-vision I had last year, “Texas, Texas, Texas,” was an example of my picking up multiple crises in the state of Texas that would involve a new and terrible normal in our country. I had felt that a new normal, very upsetting events, would start around February through June of 2017. (Now I realize that the new normal began when Trump took office and would continue throughout his tenure, so it wasn’t just about Feb through June but about his whole administration.) Then I heard the chant, Texas, Texas, Texas. Now that it’s November, and I’ve watched events unfold, I feel that the vision is that Texas is the focus or eye of the storm of the rise of the far right wing that is happening in our country. It’s also part of the immigration crisis Trump created.
Since last spring Texas has seen a number of disasters — Hurricane Harvey, a climate change related disaster that was made much worse by lax building and zoning codes. The recent church massacre, enabled by easy access to guns and poor compliance with the few controls we have for gun access. The fertilizer plant explosion that blew up part of a small town. Was that also the result of poor or absent compliance with safety rules? All of these events can be tied to the dominant culture that is so concentrated in Texas, excluding Austin.
I would be interested in what some of you have observed about prediction. One thing for sure, prediction is not objective. It is subjective. In fact consciousness, which is the area of study that prediction comes from, is never objective. All of these visions have to go through someone’s subjective mind.
I believe your hypothesis will prove out. In health care, we realized errors were created through observer bias. If I came to you with a syringe and told you what amount you would see, many of us would see the amount you were told and not the actual amount. There are training videos where one is told to count how many times a ball is passed among participants. Folks are so focused on counting the ball passes they miss the person in the gorilla costume walking through the group passing the ball. Much in the same way, a liberal is trained to see the world might look quite different the way a conservative may train their mind. There are so many aspects that can blind us to the heart of the real. Perhaps its the privilege of being white in the U.S., perhaps its educational privilege, gender privilege, heterosexual privilege, professional privilege, economic privilege, power of any kind privilege...there are endless ways we can unintentionally narrow the lens from which we see the world. Our subjective mind can be quite the complex filter. My experience tells me that contemplative practice of any flavor can also help to open up the narrow parts of our points of view. Isn't reality a constancy of co-creation? Perhaps true of prediction?
StillnessofMind, Thank you for these insights. There is no question in my mind that meditation opens up our perception. I noticed after a two week retreat once that my eyes were actually more wide open! I was taking in more of my environment. I spent ten minutes staring at the intricacies of a tree. Meditation also causes you to listen more, rather than speak.
Lorie posted this response in the comment section of the Prediction Page. Want it also posted here:
Right on Lori! I hear you loud and clear. We probably live in the same part of town! Peace and love to you, too, beautiful neighbor.
Easy. I think, to some extent, we see what we want to see.
It takes training and practice to actually see what's there. Hence, why Zoron and Jeanne are so good at it. It's like any other muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
I've pondered this question myself, reading other psychics on other sites. Many of them (I won't give names) predicted that Trump would bring back jobs, get infrastructure going, etc. I read them and wondered what planet they were living on. I think, beyond the accurate predictions that he was on the podium, people have let their wishes, and his celebrity reputation get in the way. My gut told me he'd never be anything but a used car salesman with empty promises. I was right, but then again, I was never attached to him as a celebrity.
Our emotional involvement can cloud our judgement.
I too saw trump as a great used car salesman so why are so many people not seeing this. He is only out to enrich himself and those like him are along for the ride. He gets worse every day yet the mindless throngs still worship him. I don't understand this
Judy. I ask the same question. How can people not see what is so obvious? I often feel like Cassandra, the Greek daughter of Troy, who was given the gift of prophecy, but also the curse that no one would believe her. I think you are the same. It's just so obvious, right? I have felt that way about climate change for 30 years.
It's because authoritarian personalities cannot or will not see with their own eyes, cannot or will not form their own opinions, without the help of someone in power telling them what they must see and believe. John Dean's book Conservatives Without Conscience explained this concept, which is based on the research of Bob Altemeyer, Professor of Psychology at the University of Manitoba. I just discovered that Altemeyer has put out a book distilling his findings, The Authoritarians, which is free online. I'm adding it to my must-read list.
Marley, Thanks for pointing out this book.
Jeanne, I agree with you and appreciate you and everyone involved in this site. Since last year, my twin flame and I realized that our awakening kicked into overdrive. We’ve had an overwhelming sense that something is coming, for better or worse. Between Trump (?), natural disasters, shifts in consciousness…. It’s been a rollercoaster ride and I’m trying to stay balanced within and out.
We knew something was going to happen to us…
During Hurricane Harvey, my house received 12 feet of water. So, yes, Texas Texas Texas…. I feel caught in the middle. And just seeing the state of our world, it breaks my heart.
But I’m ready for this new age of Aquarius. I’m an Aquarius, an empath, and I’ve been told I’m an incarnate angel. I understand that we must all walk through the dark to find the light.
And just for the record, since I’m a Texas native, I’m deeply upset with the division between the people! I hate to use labels, but I (a “liberal”) see that liberals actually outnumber conservatives here in Texas. Because of suppression, gerrymandering, racism…. It’s hard to be proud of such a state. I can’t even stand to be around family members because of their ideologies.
It’s getting difficult to have faith in humanity.. This is the long awaited apocalypse and I know that it’s necessary for change for the better. But damn.. Trials and tribulations right?
Excuse me for my rant! It feels good to let it out.. I love what all of you are doing and thank you.
Peace, love, and light to all!
