Past/Future Selves

[Vajra Fist]

Bit of a weird one. Wondered if anyone has encountered anything similar. 

 

Throughout my life, I've had moments that feel like an intersection, where I come into contact with the mindstream of a future or past self. These are very strange, half-waking dream moments where I feel like I'm able to ask questions of a future self, or else send reassurance and answers to a past self. They don't last long. 

 

I like to think I'm a fairly down-to-earth person. I'm a middle aged Brit and a dad, I work an ordinary job.

 

I meditate, but not for altered states of consciousness, but rather to bring myself closer to tangible reality. 

 

But I did do a lot of acid in my teenage years. Which has either opened me up to paranormal stuff like this, or else has given me latent schizophrenia. 

 

I normally dont think too much about this, it's just a weird little quirk of my personality that I've never felt the need to tell anyone about.

 

But recently what I feel like is a future self said that 2026 will be a particularly challenging year for my health. It has suggested I practice a specific type of qigong, and stop taking some supplements and peptides I've been dabbling with. 

 

It's a bit of a worry because I'm 42 in April, which I've since learned is my yakudoshi year (basically ill fortune year in shinto belief). I also saw recently that it's also not looking great for my health in Chinese astrology (wood rat).

 

So while I'd normally brush it off as my weird little mind, I'm not sure if I should perhaps take the suggestions of this internal voice seriously. Or whether that way lies madness. 

 

Has anyone else heard of this sort of communication across time with future/past selves? I've not been able to find anything mentioned anywhere similar.

In many Asian languages, the number 4 sounds like the word for death. And the number 2 sounds like the word for easy. So 42 is a number to be weary of as it is easy to die. Superstition as far as I am concerned. But, if you feel that there is something to seeing or hearing things from the past or future then do what you must. For me, it is about being here, now. It is about being concerned for the things in my control here and in this present moment.

 

For me the problem with getting information from the past or future is that one never knows the value of that information. What if the information from the future was false. Then all your present actions are based upon those false information. Which then leads you down the wrong path. But, keeping the mind in the present then one's actions are based on present information or what is really based on what is known to be true.

 

Worrying about stuff that you believe to be from the past or future only seems to be adding to the issues you are having. It isn't simplifying the your life. It isn't making you happier. Yes, make notes. But don't let it rule your life. Well, that is how I feel about this. My opinion.

I agree with Tommy, you can honor Intuitions by being aware and watchful, using them for motivation but not letting them control your life.

How wonderful that your future self is taking such an active interest in your present!  Very cool.  I would take the suggestions under advisement, evaluating them as you might any other advice.  When I go to the doctor, I see myself as getting an expert opinion which I then research and make a decision about.  I don´t automatically do what anybody tells me but rather figure out what makes sense to me.  So the question is: do the suggestions your future self is making make sense to your present self?  If so, I´d take them.  If not, you can still tuck them away in the back of your mind and see how things develop.

 

my two cents,

First, I'd say you could be jumping to conclusions by assigning a lable to the piece of consciousness that contacted you. It could be as simple as your intuition taking specific forms, or your surfacing sub-consciousness. 

 

With that, what are your up and down sides? From your words, you were told that discarding some sintetic substances you could improve your health. WHy don't just follow the advice? The upside - your health could improve, the downside - you won't be taking in some sintetic substances and save some money along the way. Unless you have very clear signs that these substances have helped you already. If they do help, it is not very clear, but is still worth it, in my opinion.

It turns out that reality is more complex than usually taught:

 

- parallel timelines where other incarnations of our higher spirit can share learnings with this 3D timeline

- bifurcations of this timeline showing alternative personal futures

- discarnate relatives lending a hand

- higher level sponsors dropping thoughts into the personal mind

- a group-being connecting with its members

- intelligences external/internal to this planet guiding suitable candidates 

- pre-packaged learning energies

- resonances with nearby timelines

-  entities that do not exist in time or space

- stuff I have yet to see
