There is a reason that Shakespeare’s Macbeth starts with a coven of witches brewing a powerful potion in their keep: he needed to set a magical precedent before the witches predicted Macbeth’s future and the outcome of the play. Shakespeare understood, as we all do instinctually, that telling the future falls flatly into the category of magic. Predicting the future has always captivated the human imagination and we have always wrestled with its truth or legitimacy. Since the beginning of time, people have claimed to possess the ability to predict the future or see things before they happen. Like Shakespeare, many of us categorize this idea as something fantastical, like magic. But could it be real? Is the reason we are so drawn to the concept caused by an over-active imagination, or is it something more?
We have all heard hushed conversations about an aunt or a grandmother who seemed to be able to predict the future. A lot of us have personal experience with accurate intuition; a feeling that something will occur and then it does. Have you ever thought of friend that you hadn’t talked to in ages, and then they call shortly after? Most people would answer yes to the preceding question. Could it be that human’s have an extra-sensory system that we just don’t understand? After reading through many histories, theological works, and most of the Western Canon, I have found time and again references to this phenomena. I closely examined diverse ancient texts from around the world and it would appear that fortune telling is one of the oldest occupations of the human species. Or, at least, claimed occupation.
People often ask, ‘if someone can predict the future, why haven’t they won the lottery?’ It’s a fair point, but it doesn’t satisfy those of use with personal experience. If you’ve ever had your fortune told accurately or experienced the aforementioned phenomena, you know that it doesn’t work like that. ‘Well, then how does it work?’ Great question. I don’t know how it works, but I am certain in my assertion that telekinetic powers are supernatural, and anything supernatural would not appeal to the logic of the material world. If there were a supernatural force that enabled us to communicate with the future, the past, or the dead, it would almost certainly be regulated by a force far beyond our comprehension or earthly concepts. If it is a power we possess, it is most certainly a divine power.
Because of national security implications, research into the field of fortune telling has been undertaken by every major government, including the United States. The research has led to many discoveries about a ‘unified field’ and it appears there is something connecting us. Perhaps an ancient extra-sensory system akin to a built-in radio. It would help to explain many unexplained artifacts around the world such as similar hieroglyphs, pyramids, temples, and historical accounts of things like the great flood left to us by civilizations who never made physical contact with one another. It is completely possible that our ancestors were communicating with each other around the world with nothing more than their mind, body, and soul. It stands to reason that if we meditate on this purpose and expand our thinking, we could achieve our telekinetic abilities once again. It is possible that in the future, you will not need a physical device to communicate your thoughts to your loved ones. I believe, the answer lies within.
