Everyone Has an Innate Ability to Sense the Future

When I say “everyone” I mean like 95% of the human population. It’s similar to how you have the ability to run, but you probably won’t become Usain Bolt. And similar to a physical ability, the ability to sense possible futures is a biological trait that is more evolved in some, than in others.

And again similar to a physical ability, some people will be able to develop it with practice and consistency, similar to how I was able to create a repetitive self-training that helped me go from 40-50% accuracy, to closer to 90%. 

What happens for a lot of people, including some of you reading this, is that you brush up against this ability at random times, usually when your body is outside of its usual comfort zone. At times of extreme stress or joy, for example, we’re able to tap into biological processes that aren’t usually accessible in our day-to-day.

Same thing with psychedelic drugs or other mind-altering states: they help us accidentally tap into an otherworldly ability. 

The problem with the drugs or mind-altering substances is that it’s not consistent, and it’s a bit like throwing 1,000 darts at a board. Even if you hit the center, you won’t know how you did it, and won’t be able to repeat it. 

I did attempt to put together a format for tweaking your meditation to help you develop this ability. But today I want to write about the larger behind-the-scenes mechanisms for predicting the future, that tie directly to our biological processes. 

We are sensing machines. It’s what our bodies evolved to do, due to survival and longevity. Every cell of our being is designed to react to stimulus that we’re constantly evaluating as helpful to our survival or not. The mistake a lot of people in spiritual communities make, is that they shun their incredible bodies. These things are works of art. Literally and figuratively, they are universal, cosmic works of art. 

Our bodies tie us directly to the planet (air, soil, water), and the planet ties us directly to the stars. We cannot become cosmic, light beings, without first honoring the incredible context that we exist in. And this is coming from me, who grew up in a scientific household devoid of “spiritual” talk. It’s just the truth. What I see a lot of spiritual “gurus” in this space saying, is that we’re spiritual beings, and this physical body is just a limiting, unevolved vessel that can’t possibly comprehend the true nature of our cosmic existence. 

Man, what arrogance! 

Our bodies are literally the link between our narrow physical perception, and a whole world of extrasensory input that we can learn to access slowly and through deliberate practice. 

Just visually, we only see a tiny fraction of the light spectrum, and yet our bodies are constantly processing lights, reflections, and shadows at a speed and a level of efficiency that we can’t even match with computers today (all that is coming to an end soon with Artificial Intelligence, and I’ll write about all that in another post). 

The key to developing your innate ability to sense the future isn’t to turn your back away from your body, or attempt to “transcend” it: It’s to use the lessons it’s constantly giving you, to help you perfect the process at higher and higher levels.

Once you learn to tap into your biological intuition, the same kind that animals and birds use when earthquakes are coming, where they know it minutes, sometimes hours before humans do, that’s the point where you’ll be ready to apply another level of development to intuitively sense what’s going to happen all around you. Your body already knows, but your logical head doesn’t. 

The logic part of the brain is constantly attempting to interpret the body’s sensations, to turn it into actionable data, or a “story” that it can store for later use. If your body’s senses and logic are disconnected, you end up with very little intuitive insight, or worse: you end up misunderstanding the world around you. The path towards developing these abilities is to embrace what your body is communicating, and train your logical mind to help organize the feelings, instead of overpowering them with rational stories. In other words, your logic should work hand-in-hand with your body’s innate intuition to tell a more complete narrative, instead of letting your brain overpower your body with its desire for rationality, where you end up filling in knowledge gaps that shouldn’t be filled (at least not yet). 

This is basically what it feels like when I get a premonition. It always starts with the body, then it turns into a feeling, then I have to use my rational/logic brain to help me build out the story, without overpowering it with assumptions that aren’t based in the reality of the physical sensations. Sometimes I can get it WAY wrong, but over the years I’ve become very familiar with my own internal language of visuals and numbers, which tell me a story that I can interpret into a real event. 

For example, a couple of years ago when the queen of England died, it started as a physical sensation of global grief and collective uncertainty. As I let the feeling take me to a more solid message, I saw a vision of orange/red leaves (my symbolism for “September”), and a Queen of Spades playing card, falling on top of a black-and-white picture of the Beatles (my symbolism for “England”). Putting 2 and 2 together, I thought “I think the Queen of England is going to die in September.” Then my body reacts to that thought, in the same way it reacts to delicious or disgusting thoughts of specific food items, and that’s a nice way of confirming or denying whether my logical/rational/mind narrative has interpreted the symbolism correctly, or if I’m missing something. 

When I get an emotional “pang” like this, I usually keep my eye on it, because it could be a global event-type of prediction. Usually, for 90% of my predictions, they don’t come to me out of the blue. I have to think about them, and have a sort of back-and-forth dialogue with my senses that gives me more information. For easy things that have a set number of defined outcomes, it’s MUCH easier. This is why I was able to make money going to casinos. 

Most casino games have a set number of possible outcomes, so concentrating on the next outcome and getting specific visuals, it’s relatively easy to correctly interpret the visuals and numbers. For example in a roulette table, if I thought of the next outcome, and got a red visual and a floating number 23 or 28, then I could bet on red, knowing that I’ll most probably double my money. If I bet on 23 or 28, then I might get it wrong and lose the money. But even then, if I keep betting on the specific numbers I will eventually get it correct, and make many multiples of the money I originally wagered. But I was always one to avoid attention, so I preferred betting on games that were closer to 50/50 chance, like sports. 

Now, remember how I said that 95% of people can run, but not everyone will become Usain Bolt? This is true for this ability as well. You have an innate inclination towards sensing the future, but a small percentage of you will have the ability to develop this ability beyond anything that society thinks it’s possible.  

But no matter your level of ability, you’re on the right path. 

Until next times.
