Why do our visions of the future sometimes change?

Jeanne Mayell · 2018-11-04T15:15:00Z

Bin, a member of our community, has asked several times why some visions of the future change as we "read" the future at different times. I ask myself this same question, but since we are dealing with one of life's biggest mysteries, I accept that we may never know the answer. In case you don't follow what I'm asking, here's an example. A few months before the Alabama special senate seat election I asked myself whether Roy Moore or Doug Jones would win. I got Roy Moore would win. Later, just a few days before the election, I asked again and got that Doug Jones would win.We know now that Doug Jones won, so the earlier prediction was wrong and the later one was right. Now this experiment is not clean because I actually used different methods to get each answer. The second time, I used a more reliable method. The first time, I just reported the prevailing feeling in my head. The prevailing feeling was that the Republican would win. Everybody thought that the Republican would win because Alabama is a deeply red state. So I was merely tapping into the dominant collective feeling. That's a really bad method because you pick up prevailing opinion, which is based on history, not the future, and is not necessarily anything true about the actual future. When a doctor tells a patient they have a terminal disease, that's also a prediction based on past events. As we all know, there are patients who beat the odds and survive in spite of the odds. So to read the future, we need to let go of prevailing opinion and use a better method. The second time I read the Alabama election I let go of prevailing opinion and instead asked my cards to show me how Roy Moore would be feeling a month after the election. I was also more focused this time because I was online with a bunch of students and was using my cards. In the cards, Moore looked dejected a few weeks after the election. I asked how Doug Jones would be feeling a few weeks after the election, and I got that he'd be celebrating. This time, I got the correct answer.Had the future actually changed or had I just used a better method the second and time? I think the latter but there's no way to know.It's the old story of fate versus free will. Did the future actually change or was it always going to be Doug Jones winning in Alabama? No one knows the answer to that. But I'd like to start a discussion about it.In the two years' run up to the 2016 presidential election, my students kept seeing Hillary Clinton would win. I never actually saw her win, but I was so glad that they weren't seeing a Republican that I went with that prediction. Okay, very bad prediction system on my part. An inner voice warned me not to repeat what others were prediction and just stick to what I was seeing. But I ignored that inner voice. I had taught my students to see the future in inner visions and I asked them who they saw standing on the Inaugural platform on 1/20/17. They almost universally "saw" Hilary Clinton, even long before she had gotten the nomination. But I could not see her there, and in fact I simply couldn't see anything. I now realize that my students were not able to do the remote viewing of Hillary Clinton on the Inaugural platform. They were instead seeing her at the Democratic National Convention receiving the nomination and also at other public events. I know this because of the various outfits they saw her wearing each time. As for why I could not see who was on the Inaugural platform all those times that I tried, I now realize that it is very hard to see what we don't want to see. I mistakenly and sloppily kept telling people that Hillary would win. Live and learn. But I did finally see the Inauguration in July 2016. I was doing a group reading of the future and asked once more for people to look in their minds' eye for the 2017 Inauguration. I saw clear as day Donald Trump standing large and close up on the platform looking menacing and holding a symbol of fascism. He appeared like an apparition of evil. I did not believe he was really there on that platform. I decided he was just there in spirit, continuing to harass the country.And so I continued to get it wrong. I also saw Obama standing upstage on the platform facing the crowds with angel wings. That later turned out to be Obama speaking publicly online to scared and grieving democrats telling them he would be right there with them throughout Trump's presidency. So again, I have to say that the future of who would win the 2016 election did not change in the run-up to the election. I was just unable to believe that Donald Trump would win. So does the future actually change or is it all written and fated in advance? After years of reading the future, I can't answer that question.
