The Importance of Meditation

I have talked before about how mental abilities require extensive concentration and focus in order for them to bloom. Without a clear mind, your abilities can be clouded and diluted by the background noise in your mind.

This goes for any ability from telepathy to future prediction. Without that clarity of mind, your abilities won't develop as they should. One of the most common ways to produce this clarity is through various types of meditation.

Meditation is a centuries old technique that teaches people to clear their mind and focus. Without that constant din in your head, you can work on focusing your thoughts on your own mental abilities. There are many different ways to meditate from classical to transcendental. There are people that will offer to teach your for money, books are available and countless web pages to read.

Curious About The Future?

There are countless theories about why a person can sense the future and predict certain events. They range from the supernatural to simply analyzing the variables and making an educated or intuitive guess.

Regardless of the reason, many people feel the need to seek out the future. Most people are content with not knowing what's going to happen to them or other people. They understand that life has an element of chance from waking up in the morning to getting onto a plane and have no problem leaving the fates alone.

What causes a person to seek out those who perceive the future. They spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to find out answers that they will eventually know anyway. There are three main reasons: fear, curiosity and confidence. Charlatans realize this and use it to their advantage, letting clients hear what they want.

Predicting The Future Doesn't Mean Reading Minds As Well

Many people believe that there is a single type of psychic ability and that they every psychic has it. While many people with mental abilities have more than one, the truth is that they are no different that other natural abilities.

When a person has a natural ability, such as drawing or writing, they excel as they use that ability more. Some people are lucky enough to be good at more than one ability and they excel at many things. It's not different for psychic abilities.

Someone that can see the future or predict the outcome of events doesn't mean they also see dead people or can read your mind. Future prediction is a psychic ability and communicating with spirits is another. There are countless psychic abilities from the ability to leave the body to understanding a person's true emotions.

The Many Universe Theory

Some may say that predicting the future depends on your particular reality. There is a theory that states that there are an infinite number of universes. This roughly translates that every decision ever made creates a new universe.

For example, when you woke up this morning and chose eggs for breakfast your time line continued on with that decision. In another universe, you woke up and had sausage and that created an entirely different time line.

When you get to the car, you turn to county station, but in another universe, you picked a rock station. Hollywood has used this theory for the television show “Sliders” and has been used in many different movies through the years.

Future Seeing: A Perplexing Paradox

"Knowing the future creates an interesting paradox, does knowing the future automatically change it"

People should always take anyone that says the can see the future with a grain of salt. Regardless of the method, the future is a complex animal and even knowing a small part of it can lead to a very different outcome.

The ones that truly can see the future or at least get a glimpse are more than up front to tell you that what they see is only one interpretation. The future is fickle. A change in a single decision can create far reaching changes.
