Sensing the Future?

[augentier]

I wasn't sure where to post this..but since it has to do with sensing I assumed this is the right place.

So, now I'm not sure how to explain this. But I have had two interesting experiences this week. First, I was leaving my house to go put gas in my car and then drive 30 miles to go to class. I was rushing around but things started to slow me down. Right away a car pulled in front of me and made me have to drive really slow. I was extremely irritated..I went around them (illegally) and soon another car slowed me down. Then I ran into a stop light. Then another. I thought, this is the universe telling me to slow down, don't rush.

But this is what's weird..this happened another night so right away I told myself to expect to be "slowed down" and have obstacles in my path for the whole drive. It happened. I had to stop at a train, huge lines of traffic (unusual for this town) blocking me from going on, stoplights, slow ridiculous drivers, etc.

The same type of thing just happened today. I went out to cash my paycheck. It started out strangely because I immediately spaced off and ended up driving on a different route than what I was supposed to go on. I thought, "I wonder if randomly driving this way was supposed to happen, like i'm going to see something interesting". It started. A guy pulled around a turn behind me and was riding my ass for several miles! He was honking his horn and I kept driving slower to annoy him. Finally he turned. I then saw a tiny one-person automobile (not a car, but i dont know how to describe it) and behind it was a huge tractor..then on the street crossing it a bright orange dump truck drove by. I thought..Ok, I'm going to keep seeing strange things on this drive. It kept going! It was so interesting and fun..I saw a bird trying to fly into the wind but the wind was so strong that the bird was just suspended in air. A few other things happened that I can't remember..but right when I was pulling up to my house I saw a young girl walking home from school wearing HUGE fuzzy bear slippers..WEIRD.


So...what do you call experiences like these? Was I sensing the future or creating it? I hope this even makes sense..

well, certain theorems as of late embrace the notion that we are all participants in this existence instead of pure, non-consequential observers. I back this theorem, and say a little bit of that and I believe you to be able to look forward into the "pathways" or where time splits to the point of being subject with other points of interaction, including other participators.

I tend to agree with thought..

As co creators in this quantum world we now find ourselves living in.. we know that multiple possibilities exist..

its no longer this way or the other way... but that way and another way.. (pardon my riddlespeak)

At any given moment we are faced with a plethora of descisions on how we can respond to any given situation. The choice you make then becomes your experienced reality..

did you see this comming.. absolutely..
did you create it? well that all depends on where you believe those sights came from.

Quantum Physicists have to this day still not been able to trace the source of the ultimate observer.. the seat of consciousness.. yet we experience it... and we somehow have a choice in the matter...

you could have ran the light... or you could have pulled over and waited...
you might have stopped for coffee first and could have spilled it while you were stuck in trafic...

see the pattern?:idea2:

I'm wondering if you could have been in danger of a car wreck, just be careful when driving...

As for the drive, how fun that sounds - bet it gave you a good smile and laugh :hi5:

Sacred - the first experience, where I kept running into things that slowed me down...I did immediately think that maybe something's telling me i need to slow down because maybe i'm in danger of getting in a wreck. that is why i heeded the "Advice" i got from being unable to go as fast as i wanted to.


the second time...it was so amusing, and fun..which is why i just had to share it with you guys :bigredgri

i find myself in agreement w/thought and xander. we do create our own realities w/every decision w/choose to make in the course of a day. turning one way looses the path we might've taken had we chosen the opposite direction, but opens the path to the girl w/the fuzzy slippers and standing in the sky bird.

we each are the makers of our own moments. every choice can be whimsical or momentous, depending on the situation we may find ourselves in. that decision is always at hand for us to make for ourselves.
