Knowing your future

[Bluebonnet]

Ah....interesting. I know someone who had daughter that always knew she would die young. She would say that all the time.....she would not make it past 30. She also hated the water, so she thought her death would involve water. I was told that over a year ago. This daughter was in a car accident where the driver lost control of the car, and the car flipped upside down into a swimming pool. She died in her early twenties....3 months ago.

So, I guess there are things that we can not change.....

For those who have been reading for 10+ years, do you already know about the major events in your life before they happen? Two situations made me curious....make it three. I have a friend who had a reading 20 years ago. She was not married yet, and the reader told her that she would marry twice and have 3 girls. Another had a reading about 10 years ago, and the reader stated she would marry once and have 3 kids. So far, everything has been true.

There is a reader on this forum that was told he would have more than one wife, and one wife would die young. I noticed that this person is now asking about the wife he has not met, and how she will die young.

So, the question is.....do many of you already know your distant future? Meaning the major events in your future were known, so they were not a surprise when they happened.

B

For the most part no. If there is a situation in my life that worries me I may ask how it will turn out.

But to know to much about the future would be, as you say, to take the surprises out of life. Without that there is no spontaneity, no joy (or at least a lot less of itP whne something wonderful unexpectedly happens, no happy surprises.....sounds a bit boring to me.

Also I am a firm believer that there are certain life lessons that we have to learn by facing the unexpected. Events will come into our lives unexpectedly for a reason, to teach us things our souls need to know to grow. If we knew in advance we would have time to prepare and would not learn the lessons we are meant to. We can only learn them bu facing them as they come.

So, my answer is no. I would not want to know all the events of my distant future. It's kind of like seeing a movie where you have already read the book. You know what will happen next and that can get a bit boring.

Not to mention that the answers given by Tarot about the future are not set in stone. The future the cards predict can, in the vast majority of cases, change of be changed.

That IS so very sad. Sorry to hear that.

It seems to me that if that woman did not know her daugther would die young, she would have had a much happier 20 years with her to enjoy. I am sure that kind of thing haunts you and gives you a sense of almost constant sadness. Seems to me that she would have been much better off now knowing it.

It would be a shock when it happens, but I am sure it was anyway, THosse are my thoughts on that.

I never read more then a known event or two ahead, on the occasions I read for myself, so I do not know my future, beyond what I am already aware of.

I have hit milestones with others and game changers that have come to pass, it is a real ego/confidence booster when it comes to reading.

I've always "known" things that I didn't really KNOW know, but I don't know everything that's to come for my life or anyone else's. We're not meant to. There are always things that need to happen without foreknowledge, the way I believe. And we're not, as readers, always meant to see in the cards every single thing for every single person who sits for us, either. Some things are meant to come to them via some other means or some other person for reasons only the Infinite knows, we don't.

When I read for someone else, I say what I see in the cards. I don't feel badly if the person tells me "oh that couldn't be true" or "oh, that would never happen". My job is to just truthfully read what's in front of me in the cards without trying to fluff up the truth or to hide something I may see but don't want to say. Once I've done that, then only time will tell if I saw everything or not but as long as I'm doing my very best to read for them, I've done what I was supposed to. I'm always happy when I hear that things I've read really came about, but I don't expect that I'll have seen and "known" every single thing that will transpire in the future for that person.

I have to say very frankly that what keeps me using the cards and fascinated with their study is that so many times, they do tell me things that are true about the future for my sitters. I'm just in awe of that, but yet I really have no idea how they really work. I just know they do.

She knew that many of her daughter's dreams came true. I don't know if either one lived in fear or sadness that often. I think the mother probably thought the daughter was wrong. I jokingly told the daughter to dream of me marrying a hot guy and having his children. I don't think I ever fully believed that she would die young.

So, from what I've read so far, it seems these dreams, premonitions, or flashes predict much more into the future with accuracy than tarot readings.

Glad to hear it.

I can understand what you mean that those premonitions might be more accurate. In my viewpoint, most things about the future can change. But some things are destined/fated to happen and cannot be changed.

I would imagine that the things people would have premonitions and dreams of that type about WOULD be the things that are destinted ot happen. Especially if it was the girl herself who was having all this. That, to me, would likely mean that she had a life contract to live until that age and she was unconsciously remembering it. That is my belief that our souls decide how long we want to live in each lifetime before we start.

Tarot readings in general about the future tend to accurately predict the future. Just that that future can change after it is predicted as usually the future is changeable.

In my case, i have not really asked the cards what the future would be like for in general terms.

Usually, I would ask questions more in this manner -- if i did this or that, what wouldmost likely be the putcome? What i get more are possible consequences that I might not have thought of. In some occasions, i had had friends ask the cards what would their marriage be like. I notice that the cards do mention what it would be but ir also gives interesting clues andhints about what conditions would make it so.

I wouldn't call this "predicting the future" per se, Rather, it gives me or the person choices or things to think about if these were done or if this was to happen.
