PROPHECY...a gift or a curse?

[cyberangel]

Dear Friends,

Have you ever experienced prophetic visions?

If so, I would be interested in hearing about your experiences and what impact it has had on you and your loved ones?

How does is happen?

Can you turn it on and off?

Does prophecy run in your family?

What age did you discover you had prophetic insights?

What do you class as prophecy?

Have you attended a medium or psychic before?



Thank you friends,

Love and Light

I have had many premonitions of things that weren't likely to proceed as planned or announced. I wished I had listened to my inner voice! Nobody in my family was like that though.

That is far different then seeing the future. One is living in denial of what was most likely; the other is much more non-judgmental in that it ignores reason in favor of eventuality. Freak events; mutants; outside influences can change the course of history in ways that were not supposed to happen.

I can't honestly say I have ever encountered anyone who could see the future. I have known some (close un-named) who could seemingly pull knowledge out of nowhere if it meant that much to them. But they (close un-named) also could delude themselves if they wanted that knowledge to be a certain way. Not a very good trade off to me so I shunned that and any genetic disposition I may have inherited to do that.


Alas I see a contradiction here. If wisdom enables itself it also is self limiting. You would have to be a fool to abandon every thing you ever learned to rely on nothing more then a dream for guidance. In that case could you even recognize it? There may a self defense mechanism in this world to prevent that from ever happening. So I wouldn't say to a person: "your crazy if you think you can see the future". Because I think everyone I have ever known or heard of would not like living and seeing two time frames simultaneously. And it would effect their sanity. So I would not wish that on anybody.

Premonitions are good though. I am reminded of a statement from DOONESBURY: "would you criticize a seismologist because he went around predicting earthquakes?".

I sometimes get a prophetic vision after I've taken a test at school. It typically involves me driving a taxi.
