Hey hey everyone

My question goes like this: When we are able to <see things>, in what way is this usefull if they are things we just can not change? (Or can they be changed, after all?). Why know them, before some other people? What can i do with some of that information in advance?
What can i do, after all, with Divinatie?

I use Tarot (mostly),I-Tjing, medicine (or animal)cards, and am getting to know more about Runes, and working with smudge. Thou, every time i use a divination system, is to ask an advice. Sometimes the best behaviour to adopt towards a situation, or in a point of my life. Like if it is a friend. Thou, i never used any of this things to know what will probably happen, or < predict the future >.

On the other hand (and this is what brought me with time to know more about witchcraft and so on) sometimes i was able to know <certain things>. Since i reamember i always had that. Was hard for people to accept (those who had to lead with the situation then, or my parents and so).
When i was younger i experienced it in another way. Was something like: I was speaking to a friend, and sudenly turn to another one and words just came out of my mouth. I told the girl to make her bags (we were on vacations) and say Goodbye to her friends, cause something happened and her mother was about to come pick her, to take her back to Lisbon. (she laughed, and said she would stay till the end of the month). (And i, i was like: am i stupid or what?? Why the hell did i said that to her??).
Anyway, middle in the night the girl woke me up crying, telling her mom was at the door, and why have i said that to her.
I could just say sorry...

Then with time, this sort of things happened too related with death of someone. At school, in the first day where we got to know the teachers, i was looking to one of them, and dunno why, i said to my friends: She is going to be a widow. A friend asked: why do know that?. My automatical answear: I see it in the front of her head.
In the same day, later in the evening, her man died with an heart attack.
My friends choosed the silence, asked me nothing. Thou i knew they felt a sort of respect/fear. And the silence was then the best choice.
Often i thought: was this things my fault? Because i made the reality with loud words? But i know it wasn't just <me> speaking. So, i accepted it was a possibility, thou came a time i concentrated i didn't want this for me. Aymore. I was tired, and fearefull. I couldn't ask an advice to anyone. I closed myself, and made my best to deny this.
And it helped.

Later (after 1 or 2 years) it started again. Again related with <bad facts>. And this months it is getting huge. I have been trying to get calm, thou now it is becoming too often. If i am curiouse and in wish to know something (like about an interview my bf had to a job). In the morning i dreamed about it, and all the words i listened then, was what i listened later at the phone. All the same.
If i wake in the middle of the night, i know preciselly what time it is: hours and minuts. (To be sure i go to the kitchen and see it). Like this morning (more afternoon... ) Woke up, for 3 times, stayed in bed, and later i was like wondering what time would it be. 12:29 came to my mind sudenly. After a couple of minuts i tured the comp: 12:35...

My dead aunt. Exactly 2 weeks before she died, i told to my schoonfather: She will die in 2 weeks. And Exactly 2 weeks latter she died.
And for some reason i prepared everyone at work for the chance i would have to leave to Portugal (like was the case).
In Portugal my mother complained about the health from my father. She says she is sure something was going on, thou he never admitted. I told: Yes. It is right. He has got pain in the side of his belly. My mom asked: What side? I told: The left one. (Then i pointed it, on my fathers belly). He turned at me, and asked: How do you know that?? I told him i just knew.
It is indeed like that. But he says it isn't important, and so. I dunno if it is or not. Just in the moment things come out.

And now, my mom. And the reason i wrote all this, after all... My mother is having terrible health problems. All started on stress. It was always like that, thou now the are <coming> to my head. Yesterday i went like into <transe> looking at water in the shower, and i saw in my mind my uncle (brother of my mother) walking on a street, crying, cause of my mother death. And could see his eyes very good. The expression of it. How would it be if...
Then was like if i <woke up> again, and i felt very bad from my body. Felt suddenly very tired, a kind of pain, and i started to cry, because i went sort of afraid. Of what i have seen.
My mother is on my mind and i am doing my best to help her, by now. But, what can i do, after all? Why would i have to see the image of my uncle? What can i do with all this?...

This were just some of the things i experienced.
If someone asks me: Tell me something! - Probably i would just end up laughing, and answearing: I have nothing to tell you! (Because i don't do it when i want, or something.) Most i would be able to do would be get into transe and then see what would i listen too.

I am sorry i took here so many time. Thank you for the attention, and for listening to me.

There are many reasons people See things that they may not be able to change. I don't claim to be privy to those reasons, as I'm not as all-knowing as I'd like people to think I am. **grins**

I think the main reason you would see something like that is that, even though you cannot (or should not) always change the events, you are changed by those events. Everything becomes part of your experience and will help you respond to things appropriately, be it just to know ahead of time to warn a stupid friend of yours to be nice to the teacher the next day (when that friend may not know that the teacher lost her husband the day before), or to be in the right place at the right time to say the exact words of comfort needed to cheer up an uncle who just lost his dog, or else just to observe how to react when something similar happens to someone else when you weren't forewarned.

And of course, sometimes, there are things you can and should change, if it is in your power to do so. It's difficult to know which course of action to take, to change or to not change. If you're given to know what is to come, then it's okay to make the decision for yourself as to whether to make the attempt. Even if it's as simple as inviting a student you don't know very well to come over your house to hang out, it could stop that person from being in the car that crashes into the minivan that swerved to avoid the kid that just ran into the street. You may not be able to stop all of the horror, but at least you'd have done your part.

All of life is a tapestry. Sometimes, you can pull on a thread that you can see is going awry and fix it (at least partially), and sometimes, you make things worse. All you can do is follow your heart and do what you feel is right at the time.
