Since humanity started gathering historical information about human societies, one can notice the interest and desire to know about future life and what to expect from it. Will the dreams come true? Will expectations be fulfilled? Is something terrible about to happen? Questions for which they sought answers.
In this regard the Greeks stood out. Moved by the eagerness to get answers to those questions, and others of the same kind, they sought to know the future in various ways, being specific religious rituals the most common. In order to fulfill this desire, pythonesses and their oracles emerged, that is, their answers to the questions that were asked of them. The oracle was also the name of the place, considered sacred, where the pythonesses praticed their craft. The most famous is the Oracle of Delphi, located in the city of the same name, which no longer exists.
Another way to satisfy this hunger to know the future was to look for the answers in the stars or in fortune telling cards. As a result then came the horoscopes and the tarot. We also have the reading of the hands (palmistry), the interpretation of the coffee grinds at the bottom of the cup (cafeomancy) and other means that the fertile human imagination was able to create. All are still in vogue. The clientele is still large and faithful. But let us put these practices aside and turn our attention to people known as clairvoyants.
Is it possible that clairvoyants foresee the future? The answer is 'yes'! And the question of free will? Doesn't a person determine his or her own future? Or is there a destiny already mapped out? Let us examine those doubts in parts.
Clairvoyants are not the only ones who can predict the future. Let's imagine a situation where someone drops a glass. Anyone can predict what will happen to it. What it cannot be said is that when the glass was made it was already destined to fall and crash. If this happened, as in our example, it was because someone got careless and a law of nature was triggered, the Law of Gravity.
Even so, this "destiny" may not come true and our glass may not shatter, because someone could have caught it when it was still in the air. The glass was saved thanks to the intervention of a person's will, perhaps the same one who dropped it.
In a more interesting situation let us imagine a person at the top of a building from where he can see the intersection of two streets. In one of them he can see a car quickly approaching the intersection. He also sees a second car on the other street approaching the same point. He can foresee the future, a collision. What he cannot say, because it is an untruth, is that the two drivers were destined to suffer that car accident.
What, then, is fate? Fate must be interpreted as the plan that the spirit projected before reincarnating in order to advance his evolution. Nothing beyond that. He may or may not succeed in carrying out that plan. It will depend on how he conducts his life. One example that can clarify this subject is that of a person who decides to undertake a course. He enrolls in the course with the intention of finishing it and getting a diploma. Will he finish the course as planned? We know the answer, don't we?
Let us now turn our attention to clairvoyants. If one of them, sought by a client, foresees an event that involves the customer, if he is not making it up he will be receiving intuitions from spirits that see the course that the client has given and continues to give to his life and the resulting consequences. Even so, the future foreseen by the clairvoyant may not come true. The client may consider the prediction as an alert and reshape his life. This is where the question of free will comes in.
The important point to note is that all events, without exception, are governed by universal laws. One of the best known is the Law of Cause and Effect. This law teaches us that there isn't a single effect that does not have a cause behind it. Therefore, our future is determined by our own actions, past and present. Nothing is written in the stars, or anywhere else.
The Law of Attraction is another law that plays an important role in a person's future. An example of the action of this law is the so-called self-fulfilling prophecy. What's that supposed to be? Let us clarify it with a simple example. Let us imagine that a clairvoyant, mystifying, tells his client that a terrible illness is about to manifest itself. It was a malicious invention, but the customer, not realizing the cruelty, is so impressed that he starts thinking about illnesses day and night and ends up being affected by a disease that normally would not occur. What the clairvoyant said resulted in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
We quote two laws responsible for events in a person's life: the Law of Cause and Effect, and the Law of Attraction, both well known to researchers of the Christian rationalist philosophy. If there are others, and it is possible that there are, they are not yet known. However, those two are already enough to be remembered and seriously considered in our daily life.
