The Nature of Knowing

by Michele Francois Gerard ©2011, admin@mediuminsignts.com

What if you could see far into the future and know exactly how things would happen and when they would happen? Could you handle everything you would see and would you be tempted to alter things if you had the chance?

In the following article I will be exploring the nature of how we know or sense when something is going to happen ahead of time. In terms of psychic phenomena this is known as Precognition or Claircognizance; the ability to see or know things before they happen. As you will come to understand, not everything is cut and dry, or clear and simple when it comes to psychic gifts.

Was it a Clear Case of, Knowing?

A few years ago around mid 2000 I started receiving little psychic nudges that something wasn’t quite right. I couldn’t put my finger on it but the thoughts kept persisting. Having been a psychic for over 20 years at the time I knew that a message was trying to come through but like a lot of intuitive feelings, what I thought and what I rationalized were two different things that could never quite agree.

Along about this period I asked God if he/she could be a little clearer with the message. Kind of like, “Hey, can you be a little more specific with what you’re trying to convey? I’m not quite getting the full concept here.” Shortly after this my attention started to be drawn to the numbers 911. Every ambulance, police car, poster, and billboard I saw; it was a beacon of 911 over and over again.

After this went on for a while I again asked, “Okay, I get that there’s something I’m suppose to notice about the numbers 911; perhaps it’s an emergency of some sort. I work in the medical field and see emergencies every day. What is it that I’m supposed to be getting about his whole thing that I’m missing?”

Along about mid July 2011 I was transferred to work at a hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. The route I took from my apartment to the work center was directly in line with the flight path of the Logan airport and every morning I had the pleasure of sitting in snail paced traffic watching the plains fly overhead.

One morning while watching a particular plain I suddenly had an image of a hijacking flash through my mind. The whole scene seemed a little bizarre and I quickly dismissed it as an over active imagination, and then rationalized that something like that could never happen in American today. After all, we were well prepared for anything like that due to our prior experiences with hijackings.

When I arrived at work everything was normal and nothing the whole day was uneventful. I didn’t give the hijacking vision another thought. About a week later traffic was like a parking lot on the highway and again I was watching the plains fly overhead. This time I received another flash of a hijacking taking place, only this time it seemed like more than one plain was involved and I was getting more information to explain what was happening.

At this point I started carrying on an inner conversation with my spirit guides. “Why is this happening was my first question?” The answer, “America needs to learn a lesson.” “Shouldn’t someone warn them about this?” I replied. Another answer came, “No, they will not be warned, it’s too late.”

When I finally arrived at work about 20 minutes later I was confronted with a scene of several people gathered around a TV set. When I looked at the screen I saw a plain crashing into a building and immediately dismissed it as just another movie. At that moment that one of the guards informed me that a jet had just collided with the WTC in New York City.

We all know what happened that day and how, and I’m sure most people reading this knew where I was headed. My reason for sharing this is to illustrate that the nature of knowing isn’t always perfect and more often than not can be downright confusing.

Rational Filters of Precognition

Not a week goes by that I don’t hear or see the phrase, “You’re psychic, you should have known.” No, we’re human beings of flesh and blood, just like you. If you think that being a psychic gives us a sudden lift of supernatural powers, think again. We have the same limitations of being human that you have, which is a mind that rationalizes what is real and not. The only difference is that psychics haven’t completely rationalized their disbelief and are possibly more sensitive to their gifts than most.

Everyone has some level of psychic awareness or ability just by virtue of possessing a spirit. We are all in some form or another connected to the universe by an intangible web of spiritual energy. To deny its existence doesn’t negate the fact that it’s there it merely means you may be choosing to be unaware. Being psychic isn’t a privilege of a select few; rather it has been carefully suppressed in society through various religions so a select few can reap its benefits.

It’s really a sad thing to hear people rationalize over and over again, “I think I may be psychic but. . .” or “I’m not a psychic but. . .” In either case the answer is always the same, “Yes you are and you will experience the paranormal from time to time because you are a psychic spiritual being.”

**Please note that the fact that we are all psychic doesn’t dismiss that there are those of us who have chosen to specialize and hone our abilities. In addition, this isn’t saying you should never ever seek out a “psychic” for advice. Just as not everyone is destined to be a lawyer or a doctor per their own desires, not everyone is destined to specialize as mediums or spiritual healers.

Is Knowing the Future Really Important?

The answer to that question; sometimes yes, but for the most part not really. If there is any one thing about the “fortune teller” image that really sets a bad tone it would be the notion that everything is about the future. The truth of the matter is that going to a psychic should be more about where you’re at and the decisions you’re making than what the Mega Million Lotto numbers will be.

Sure, the future may play into the overall reading, but the future is more the result of the decisions you’re making today, not tomorrow. For instance, you go to a psychic in order to find out if you’ll meet your long lost soul mate soon. She or he says, “Sure you’ll meet your soul mate within the next three months.” Three months pass and no soul mate, not even a bite. What’s up with that?

More than likely you may have things in the present that aren’t being dealt with that should be before the meeting can take place. Another possibility is that you’re holding onto things from the past that may be interfering with moving forward to the future. The reasons can go on and on but the fact remains that before you can get to point B you have to take care of point A (where you’re at) first. But, not everyone likes to hear what they have to work on and want a readymade shortcut.

If you really want to see a good psychic, look for one that deals with the whole package; not just one who’ll tell you what they think you want to hear. Sure there are those out there who can truly tell you what will happen but they are few and far between. They will also be the ones who will genuinely bring everything back to the present and take care of the whole person that you are.

Conclusions

1. Knowing the future can be tricky business at times because being psychic is the same as being human; we all have a rational side that filters what we think we know from what we actually know.

2. Not everything in the future is meant to be known; sometimes we have a bit of work to take care of in the present before we advance to the future.

3. When looking for a good psychic don’t go with the idea that they are there only to tell you what the future holds, instead go with the expectation that they are there to help you as a whole person with a healthy focus on the present tense.
