Transcending Consensual Reality 4

“It’s strange, how you never know, but we’d both gotten what we’d asked for, such a long, long time ago.” Harry Chapin – Taxi.

Humankind has debated for ages whether our present consensual reality and our future is fixed. If it is, it would mean that humans have no free will. We would be mere actors uttering lines and performing scenes in a play that has already been written and over which we have no control.

But history is full of stories wherein people have used their precognitive insights of the future to avoid disasters, moving out of the path of danger before it overtook them. This is, perhaps, the strongest tangible evidence that the future is pliable and may be changed.

Dr. David Loye, a clinical psychologist and former member of both Princeton and UCLA’s medical school faculties believes that reality is a huge hologram and is inflexible – to a point. But he adds that there are many such holograms floating in the space of the implicate realm as parallel realities. When a person glimpses the future, they see the future of that one individual hologram only. When they act on their premonition and appear to change the future, they are actually jumping from one hologram to another. He refers to these jumps as “holo-leaps” and views them as extraordinary tools for our insight and freedom.

Bohm takes a similar view. He views a premonition of a future event as something that is in the present but that is implicate and moving toward manifesting that particular future. He compares it to the old saying that future events cast their shadows in the present.

Both Loye’s and Bohm’s theories have a central theme. There is a future that has substance enough to be seen but which is soft enough to be changed. This is not so different than the position of many of the world’s most gifted psychics, including the Hawaiian kahunas who view the future as flexible but in the process of crystallizing.

The prophets of the Old Testament in the Christian tradition were often able to predict what would happen if the consciousness of the people continued in a certain direction. Because consciousness is primary, it precedes and directs events rather than trailing them. Therefore, if consciousness changed, the future changed.

When you develop the ability to predict directions and outcomes based on historical, sociologic, psychologic, economic and spiritual trends and combine those abilities with insights of Spirit, you are able to intuit probable futures. What Spirit helps predict it can also help change. It does not pint to a problem without offering a solution.

For every dire future there are many alternative futures. As you expand your ring of consciousness you expand your ability to predict probable outcomes and intuit a larger number of alternatives. You become skilled at the art of holo-leaping. You can then become an agent of hope for a troubled world … or a troubled life.
