Future Memories

[Lighthouse]

I guess another way of asking is... is this just a typical psychic experience?

[WalkerInTheWoods]

No fair! That's cheating!! [!]

LOL Just kidding

That is interesting. I have never been able to see the future. It has never been an interest of mine either. Still that is pretty interesting what you can do. How exactly do you use it? What is it for you? Is it any more than a tool to bring you comfort, or unrest?

I just realized recently that I have this... I don't know if it's that I focus on what I want to happen and the energy behind that image is what the Universe uses to create my experience or if it's the other way around... this is also perplexing to me.  

I guess when I'm having self doubt and I consider going in another direction (contrary to the image I've created or see) or if someone tries to tell me "the way things are" my guides whisper in my ear and say, well, if you do this thing, you won't have that (the image in my mind.)  It makes me stay true to myself because the images in my mind are generally what I want.  

For example, when I left that man when I was 25, I had the choice to move to North CArolina where my sister lived or to move to Minneapolis where my brother lived.  I had always seen myself with those little dark haired babies and when I would consider moving to North Carolina, my spirit guides would say, "You have to move to Minnesota because the man you're going to marry is there."  When I would question this, by asking, "Well, why can't I marry a man in North Carolina?"  They answered, "He would not live in North Carolina because he views the south as being racist."  

After I met my husband (very dark, of indian heritage... Looks latino to many) I asked him if he would ever live in NC and he said, No because he feels there is too much racism in the south.  We now live in Virginia, just outside of Washington DC and this is as far south as he would live (with the exception of Florida... for those of you not from the US, Florida becomes like the North the further south you live... weird I know)

So with the help of my guides, the image in my head has become a reality in my own life.  Is this psychic or is it just painting an image in my head and allowing the Universe to help me to make it my reality?  Which came first the chicken or the egg?

That is because 90% of the population of Florida is relocated Northerners. []

Racism is not nearly as big of an issue as it use to be in the South, atleast in much of it. I think religious intolerance is more of an issue than racism. But this could just be my perspective from my side of the fence.

Is time linear or are we just having a linear experience in time?

Does anyone else have these "Future Memories"  How accurate are they for you?  I just found out recently that not everyone has them and I'm curious about the number of people out there who do have this gift.  Perhaps it's just my intention and that's what makes them come true.

Any input?  

I think we need an expansion of the Psychic Self defense to include Psychic Development, I couldn't figure out where to post this (mods?)

Hi there Kerri,

Yes, I have had them not infrequently through all of my life! On the whole they would be highly lucid and accurate visions of future events. In the past I had occasion to hold on to a habit of associating their potential outcome after realizing that the precog had appeared to have come about into waking or material life.

One example of a future memory included how upset myself over my intrepretation of the outcome of a personal relationship, i.e. it had not worked out as I had hoped (boo hoo). Although the events seen in an associated set of dreams were accurate there with one exception! I assume the exception was a || outcome or potential, which in the long run simply did not come about in this time frame.

As you can imagine the 'future memory' did not seem in anyway like a gift at that time, more like a curse! Forgive me if I appear to be elusive as wish to keep the circumstances private. But I can share this other example: -

I had a similar precognition which subsequently came true. Again the circumstances of the event were related to a relationship which this time was coming to a natural end. Escaping the inclement clime of Britain's shores I was sharing a late autumn holiday on a Mediterranean Island with my then girlfriend. My lady partner and myself had been allowing each other space each afternoon before meeting again to share the day's experiences.

One memorable and very gorgeous late afternoon I had found myself after a long coastal walk at a moderately busy and luxurious beach bar. Having disciplined myself avoid drinking before early evening - on this occasion I allowed myself a small indulgence, and decided  to stop by this particular bar and purchase a nice and most welcome cold beer. It had after all been a really warm and breezeless day and I deserved the indulgence after all. My attention was heightened as the girl serving me handed my change over. I gave the coins a cursory gaze as to not make it look too obvious that this was a might expensive price for a simple local brew, when a gentle wave of deja-vu pressed itself upon my consciousness. I felt as if I should look about my surrounding all the more clearly and see if this feeling had any significance. It seemed a happy enough place to have chosen to while an hour or so, and as I turned to fix a place on this reality I noticed a rippling silver of reflected light spawn from the adjoining swimming pool. The shining water looked inviting enough but was a little busy for my liking. It was brimmed full of bright young things cooling them selves down after the hard heat of the day and few crinkly ones to boot. Although busy in numbers everyone seemed to be enjoying the peace. A picture of memory flashed and I felt that I had been in that very pool before and thought: oh I could swim later! So in the interim I chose to take a shaded seat facing the sea and enjoy the sunset away from the maddening crowd. Quietly relaxing and enjoyed a cooling breeze now starting to pick up a couple came and sat at the next table. From the grinding chatter heard as they had approached it was clear they were not happy with each other company. They were distinguished as it the late middle aged and somewhat overweight lady had a toy boy and rasp thin partner. Quite an odd couple indeed! Eventually their mindless chatter turned to bickering and I felt glad that regardless of impending closure of my relationship - we at least had not sharing such vitriolic spite like this! It then dawned on me that this was the closing scene of my dream had perhaps a year before. I could only but laugh loudly yet silently within!

It was enlightening when I had opportunity to share the day's events with my lady friend and explained the deja-vu had. She tuned in awe told her own story and that she had had one as well – believe it or not about the very same couple whom she had passed only an hour before a little further along the sun swept coast.
As you can Imagine - now I look at 'future memories' them in a somewhat different light. I think they can be truly valued as experiences when actually come about. Wonderful as they are and better to relate, it is a blessing to simply let them go mindful in the knowledge that each of us are simply where we are meant to be. As each one comes around in its turn I find great value, and feel  comfortable in the happy knowledge of the moment regardless of life little trials and tribulations.

The point I am making is that future memories can often be highly accurate, and are often I suspect provided for us but out higher selves in order to learn particular lessons or to simply stand as sign posts that we are where we are meant to be. How we go about dealing with the lesson is a separate kettle of fish!

Wishing you happy futures to have and enjoy,


Stephen

P.S. I never did swim in that particular pool – having chosen to change the reality regardless of the dream!

Whoa Stephen!

Have you ever written a novel?  Your ability to paint pictures with your words is truly amazing.  

I guess what I'm starting to understand is something you stated in your post; that we are exactly where we need to be.  I understand the personal nature of the "future memories" as I too would not share my most intimate thoughts and feelings on some of these matters indiscriminately with everyone on these forums.

This is all kind of starting to fit in with something else I'm learning right now which is Detachment. (I posted something under the topic "Enlightenment and Attachment")  If I see myself in a future situation, I need to stop stressing out and trying to control the "How to" of the situation, by releasing my fear and allowing the Universe to direct me according to the picture I have in my mind.  I need to have FAITH that the universe is working in accordance with my will and leave it at that.  I do not know what the higher good is for all so I can not know what the best situations are to provide me with my desired outcome... I think it's called "Intention."  I need to relax and know that putting the intention out there is all I need to do... the Universe will do the job of showing me how to get there.

I believe this is what these "Future Memories" are... a mental image of my deepest desires which seem to come to fruition by my focusing my attention and intention on those events.  I don't really feel they are "psychic" phenomenon, more like creative visualization.  

I have had psychic dreams and other experiences that have popped into my mind out of the blue and those I would consider psychic experiences.    The ever-present images that I carry with me are just a way for me to know or see where I'm going and with the help of my guides whispering in my ear, the Universe does its job of keeping me on the right path... Does that make sense?  Does this ring true for you?

I've read about the idea that we plan our life before being born. I'm not so sure about this, but I do feel we know more of what's ahead than we sometimes acknowledge. Maybe we are ahead of ourselves in dreams and prepare for what we already know. This idea alo mentions that we set markers in our life. These markers are reminders for what we've had planned. For me, synchronicity does the same thing. I understand the markers too. For instance, when someone says something to you, you know where your future stands with that person. For me anyway, more often than not, the relationship is over or soon to end.

[Lighthouse]

Wisp,

I too believe this to be the case.  I started reading Sacred Contracts by Carolyn Myss (haven't finished it yet) and this is what this book is about.... that we all have a blueprint of our lives and that with a little bit of help, we will live out the blueprints that we have planned for ourselves.  Perhaps these images and whisperings are just my personal way of staying "on the path."  

I think there was a topic posted a while back entitled "Burning of Desire" that spoke of the same subject matter.  The initiator of the topic said that we all have this ability yet do not use it( I think.)  

This also goes back to some of my teachings... how powerful the mind is:  I'll try to find something I posted in there and repost it in here.

Isn't it funny how everything is so interrelated?[]

By the way, Thank you all of you, I am really feeling the love right now... whenever I have this feeling, I know my guides are rejoycing because something is clicking...  And you are all helping me to grow and learn... This is the ultimate goal for all of us[]

So, I have these visions that I call "Future Memories" I know... it sounds like an oxymoron but I don't know what else to call them.  They are like memories in that they are a bit fuzzy, they rest in my mind, kind of like a memory but is something that has not yet happened.  I call them future memories because they always seem to happen, perhaps because this is what my mind focuses on and it is my intention that they will happen (and the universe just creates the circumstances to make them happen) or that they are psychic pictures of what will occur in my life and I just possess the gift of having some insight into my future.  

Either way, it seems that I have always had them.  I broke up with a man when I was 25 because I saw myself with little dark haired babies and he was "fixed" so I left him(I'm blonde & blue, not usually an ingredient in a recipe for dark haired babies)  I now have 2 beautiful dark haired little girls, my husband is of Indian heritage (Hindu Indian.)  I can also see my oldest daughter at age 20, as clear as day.  My younger one, it's a little more fuzzy but I can force it if I try.  There are also other details of my life that I see and have always seen so I know I'm on the right path with my career and can see where I'm going.

(This makes me think of a Shamanism class I took once, I found out that one of my power animals is a giraffe, someone said that's because I can see far ahead... maybe this has something to do with it)

There are people that are in my life now that I do not see there in the next 10 years (I have tried to picture them with me in the future but can not see it no matter how hard I try) and there are friends who are not part of my everyday life now who I see having a more prevalent role in the future.  

Does anyone else have these "Future Memories"  How accurate are they for you?  I just found out recently that not everyone has them and I'm curious about the number of people out there who do have this gift.  Perhaps it's just my intention and that's what makes them come true.

Any input?
