   Can we know the future?
   
   Do you really want to? Knowing the future is a great deal like knowing how a book ends before you read it. Nevertheless, people are obsessed with the future believing that if they knew the events of tomorrow they would adjust their activities accordingly today. Consider this. If you knew that tomorrow you were going to have a car accident and thus did not drive on that day to avoid the occurrence, then did you really know the future? If the event did not happen it was not the future that you beheld but only a probability. That is after all what the future is. An endless series of probabilities influenced by the events of today. In both waking and in dream conscious I have witnessed glimpses of the possible future. Some events came to pass quickly, others in due time. Still some have yet to occur if at all. Some I pray never happen………………. The activities of mankind on a both the micro and macro scale create a momentum of probability similar to a snowball rolling down a hill. Uninterrupted, the snowball continues to pick up speed and mass until it eventually reaches its event horizon. So it is that your daily thoughts both as an individual and collectively give momentum to tomorrows events. Your “now” is the womb of your future and it will give birth to the seed that grows within you. Nurture it accordingly.
   
   And now to confuse you. The future that you seek to understand is but a dream that you sculpt in the mist. In reality, there is no future. There is only the blossoming of your awareness. As your awareness expands like a bubble, that which lies within the sphere is your past. That which lies on its surface is your present. That which lies beyond does not yet exist. You cannot touch the mirrored pool and behold your true reflection at the same time. Understand this and you will understand that knowledge is not obtained by looking outward.
