The past, present and future.

sunshine&rainbows — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 00:57:52 GMT

The past, no longer existing.

The present, occuring.

The future, A time still to come.

What are your thoughts of someone being able to tell you about all these things in your life?

Some people pay someone to hear these things? What are your thoughts, are they special, gifted, what? Where do they get this information?

We may all know how someone felt about us or wanted for us. Past

We knew how things were at the moment. Present

We all feel things we may have know that was coming. Future

This is how I feel about the subjects... I already know.

Because I lived it.

I know I come off as confusing. I am very compassionate.

My mother was very protective, too shielding.

I never knew what a funeral was until my 30s that's when I started to go it was not family, it was my co workers family or patients, so I am very naive about such things (sorrow) until my own mother died in my 50s. That was my first.

I knew how my mother felt at the end and what she wanted for our future.

What I am asking is do you really believe a stranger can know us or tell us these things about us?

I believe some people have a special gift and can know things – past, present and future. I can intuit things at times but I think we all can to an extent, some more than others.

I contacted a medical intuitive by phone and only gave her my name. She began to tell me what was going wrong in my body, the foods I was allergic to, etc. She also began to tell me about those around me, my boss and co-workers and relatives. She was extremely accurate.

I think I get what this is about, and if it is about someone not close to us, knowing and seeing the past, present and future concerning us, then yes I do believe in it, but think it is exploited in today's world.

I think we all have this ability, but don't know how to really tap into it, so we call those who can 'gifted' with this power. I think someday, when we understand the brain better, and can harness more of it's capability, we will see and understand things we don't now.

As to the first three sentences:

The past, no longer existing.

I don't care for this view. The past is always in the present, it built the foundation for what is, and what will be. We carry the past (both ours and the distant) with us in who we are, what we do, and what we will be.

The present, occurring.

I would add, that it can occur, or it can be made/directed. We can sit by and let it happen to us and around us, or we can, to some extent, direct it's path. The original sentence makes me feel like we have no power or choice in it, that it is happening to us, not with us.

The future. A time still to come.

Seems pretty straight forward and accurate. But again, I feel it is suggesting it as passive, rather than self driven or participatory event that must be invested in now, or it will be just that.

@Mominohio

Mahalo, I appreciate a thoughtful response!

You took the time to express your feelings.

It is an expression that can open a civil discussion, hopefully without being bias.

Everyone has a option and that is a good thing, and by that I also mean opinion, thank you.

It gets a conversation started. I believe in love and being nice and positive.

We are all individuals with our own thoughts and beliefs which were founded on how we grew up and the foundation that was laid out for us.

My thought.... it means do not dwell on the past, live in the present and do not fear the future.

Famous quotes:

I guess we all know the present moment is truly a gift.

Re: The past, present and future.

Bestdressed — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 15:54:13 GMT

Forgot to add....I do not need to go to a professional, to tell me what I already know. The process has taken me over 50 years ...lol.

But, sometimes we get stuck and a professional can guide us back into the right direction.

It can hurt so bad if you are gifted, if you can get passed that part then you can help.

No, I think a stranger may appear to have a "gift" but I think we all do, all of us posses that same "gift," and you just have to cultivate it within yourself - through meditation or prayer, by "listening" to your own wisdom, your own inner guidance.

Yes if you read my message with an open heart that is what I was saying.

We all have our own opinion, which I respect.

Because we all are standing on our own foundation, however that was laid out for us.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase most likely spoken by David Hannum, in criticism of both P. T. Barnum, an American showman of the mid 19th century, and his customers. The phrase is often credited to Barnum himself.

When Barnum's biographer, Arthur H. Saxon, tried to track down when Barnum had uttered this phrase, he was unable to verify it. According to Saxon, "There's no contemporary account of it, or even any suggestion that the word 'sucker' was used in the derogatory sense in his day. Barnum was just not the type to disparage his patrons."
