Predicting the Future Is an Inside Job

By Toni Elizabeth Sar'h Petrinovich, Ph.D.

"We still have very few answers to the big questions... The more knowledge we accumulate, the less we know. Gaining knowledge is like chopping down a forest from the inside out. The more we know, the bigger the circle of the unknown becomes. If we keep going at this rate, in another thirty years, we'll be totally clueless." 

Edgar Mitchell, IONS Shift: at the Frontiers of Consciousness 12/03-02/04

With these words, Edgar Mitchell, sixth astronaut to walk on the moon and the founder of the Institute of Noetic Science, answered the question, "Where do you think we will be in thirty years if we keep going the way we are going right now?" His response, in a nutshell, is that we will know that we know nothing.

While this might sound quite humble, Edgar means something entirely different. What he means is that we are eventually and slowly creeping (and sometimes leaping) to the understanding that we create each moment of our lives and that there is no thing to know "in advance". In other words, there is no future "out there" except the one that we are creating in each moment.

The future is usually defined as that which has not yet occurred vs. the past (that which has already occurred) or the present (that which is occurring right now). This definition includes a belief in the concept that time is a concrete dimension that is not malleable or given to manipulation by the forces of the consciousness of mankind. Hence, to be able to say that something that has not occurred WILL occur is predicated upon a conviction that what is occurring in the present will remain the same and thus lead to the future forecast.

A prediction is usually defined as an informed guess or opinion. The use of the word "informed" suggests that the informer has the ability to base his or her opinion on some knowledge that is concrete and foundationed upon some type of rigorous informational input. Many paranormal readers or prophets feel that the viewpoint they have of that which is going to occur is based upon information they receive through whatever means is most comfortable for them. There are few prophets who have had the humility to state that the opinion they are offering is based upon the fact that conditions must remain as they are at present for the opinion to come into effect.

The realm of quantum physics as well as the philosophy of metaphysics points out in an increasingly clear manner that time is an illusionary dimension based upon our revolution around our sun. Given a different orbital gravitational body controlling the revolutions of earth, time would, indeed, be quite different. Perhaps it might not even exist.

Since we need the spatial equivalent to create the need for time (we are, we were and we will be in an incarnation), our concept of the future and what might come during it is based upon what we are experiencing right now, based on what we have experienced in what we are calling the past. Since the human brain is ever looking for the familiar with which to cast its next prediction, one might hazard a guess that the brain/mind complex will surmise that the future will be somewhat like what has been experienced in the past without giving room for anomalies and/or natural events that will be called supernatural.

Mankind's limited viewpoint of linear time has caused much of the chaos experienced by the population. The basis of quantum physics is non-locality - no system is independent. If this is true, and it appears that it is, then every system in operation is affecting every other system in some way. Hence, the future is in the making in each instant and based upon interactions that are being created in each instant. Therefore, in all truth it is impossible to REALLY predict the future though it is possible to present possibilities and/or probabilities based upon what is happening at present.

Again, we come full circle to mankind's consciousness creating that which it wishes to experience and thus actually bringing it forward to him/her in each moment. The catch to this active manifesting is that most people create from past experiences and some of those experiences were not necessarily comfortable or joyous. What can they do about that? How can they change the memory of what they have experienced and, thus, create a totally new future more to their liking?

Are you open to believing that you can change the past? It is important to consider this possibility because you truly can and you must if you desire the future to be the joyous, loving perfection that you really wish to live. It is imperative that any negative memory you have be transformed into the ideal situation or experience if you are to change the wavelength of your frequency and by doing so usher forth a new set of vibrations that is you. The future you desire requires coherency in your frequency.

This does not mean that you need to actually "enter" the past. It simply means that you are to create a new way of remembering that which you call the experiences you have already lived. Since we anticipate what is coming based upon what has been experienced, the changing of the memory then changes the future events. No thing exists until we observe (live) it. It is only a possibility in the Zero Point Energy Field awaiting activation - or not. There is absolutely no limit to that which we can manifest should we choose to do so.

Since we are actually unlimited potential holding conscious awareness in this dimension, we have the opportunity to decide what we remember, what we experience and how we perceive each of those happenings. The trick is to let go of the negative expectations that have become a habit (worry) believing that by thinking about them we can, in some way, allay what is to come - whether it comes or not. In the place of this mental abuse, we are invited to create what we wish to experience, hold it in our consciousness and our heart and KNOW that, since we ARE creators, we have set in motion exactly that which we wish to add to our list of earthly experiences.

Since the present moment contains the energy of the future, it is the perfect place and time to begin the creation. See it. Envision it. Feel it. Smell it. Know it.

If it is necessary to change a past event to know that the future will be different, reassign new memories to the past. Look at what happened and ask yourself why it happened the way it did? Ask what you could have done differently and see yourself doing exactly what would have contributed to a different result. Do this enough that you can actually feel the change in the memory. The chemical reactions in your body are now shifting and assisting you in recreating a feeling that will align with your desires for the future.

This is the Law of Attraction at work. It is in place. It is our invitation to so change our feelings, emotions and thus our vibration that the Universe has nothing to do except hand to us exactly that which we wish to experience. Predicting the future is an inside job.
