When I decided to look into remote viewing, I had the impression that it had some bizarre metaphysical and psychic associations. But, in reality, remote viewing is a natural and 'taught' method of probing remote locations in the past, present, and future. As I learned and experimented, one of the important things that I discovered is that you cannot accurately predict the future of any person or event. Of course, some would argue this point and I would probably agree that we can 'see' the future. But, what I mean is, the future changes far too rapidly based on our experiences and directions for anyone to be truly accurate.
--- My crystal ball ... ---
When you visit a psychic and ask them to tell you about your future, in some cases, they can be quite accurate. But, realize that your future is only accurate as long as you're heading down the path chosen at the time of the reading. However, if you change your path, your entire future 'rebuilds' to accommodate your new direction and experiences.
After some work with a professional, and long-time-involved, remote viewer, I began to understand that the past, present, and future have already occurred. This is why, through remote viewing, we can meander around the strange worlds and times in which we live, and will live.
It may sound strange, but consider that one cannot see what might happen, but only what 'has' happened in the future. Indeed, the future is just as much based on your present existence as is your present based on the decisions and experiences of your past. You cannot change your past to alter your present, but you can change your present to adjust your future!
--- I am stuck in a horrid future! ---
On the contrary, you do have three choices! The first is to continue down the path you're heading and just accept the consequences of what could potentially occur. The second is to make minor, short-term alterations in your life and hope for the best. However, the final choice is to pick a desired destination in the future, and work backward to define the future you want for yourself!
The first two choices work and they will get you there just the same. However, the third choice is the best option to take as you are dictating your future and defining how to get there. This might sound like a contradiction to everything I said earlier about the future 'already happening'. But, many of us have been brought up to accept things as they are and believe that our futures are already 'written in stone'.
Actually, even though a new future does 'come into existence' every time we make a decision or perform an action, it is not written in stone until it passes us by. At that point, you need to just accept that you are where you are because you allowed yourself to be there.
--- What's next? ---
If you believe in visiting your psychic on a regular basis, by all means continue to do so if it makes you feel better. But, realize, that everything that they tell you of your future is only a glimpse of what could be based on what is currently happening in your life. You have the choice to change it, at will!
Take hold of your future and turn it into what you want it to be. Don't just let it flounder about until it ends up someplace close to where you would like it to be. Pick a point in the future where you want to be, then plan backward to today to figure out how to get there. Once the plan is set and you're in motion, go back to your psychic and see what they say!
