Is it useful to know things before they happen?

My answer for this would be: It is both useful and not useful at different times.

For example, growing up I would walk by someone and realize because I walked through their aura that they were dying very soon. They usually didn't know this but because I was born an intuitive I would always know this and this would as a child upset me a lot. In fact, I remember walking by a person and fainting on the ground after they passed the other way on the sidewalk. I just fell onto someone's lawn and fainted.

I didn't find this very useful for example. However, other times I knew, for example, in 1985 that anyone of my family that drove in a car that die might die. So, I told everyone not to drive in a car that day. My wife then, said to me, "NO. I have business deliveries to make and our daughter has orchestra practice"  I said "please don't drive today!" So, I prayed for an hour or two before they left and hoped my prayers would save their lives. It did.

So, even though one of our cars was totaled in the head on crash and my then wife had cracked ribs and my step daughter's head almost went through the windshield, my praying had saved their lives. (which was the important thing). So, nobody died because even though I couldn't talk them out of driving I was able to pray real hard and prevent their deaths.

I couldn't prevent the crash or the totaled VW Rabbit or the BMW it hit or the injury to my wife or my daughter whose head was bleeding when she ran back to the house to get me after the accident. But, I was able to prevent both their deaths by praying.

And often karmic events are like this. The karma likely was expiated through the accident and prayers and likely won't have to be repeated later in their lives.

However, here's the thing about knowing things before they happen. By saving their lives (maybe when they might have been going to die) now since around 1995 mostly neither my ex-wife or my step daughter speak to me anymore. Is this because I saved their lives so they didn't have to die?

I don't know the answer to this. However, if you saw the future wouldn't you try to save lives whenever you could like I do?

By God's Grace

From my point of view "Seeing the future is a lot like the laying on of hands in healing people like Christians and other religions often do."

So, seeing the future is a way to heal by preventing deaths and maiming of people when God allows it.

It is an act of Grace through God through those of us God bestows with Seeing the Future.

For example, I'm presently fairly convinced that Trump is a reincarnation of King George III who was a mad king whose madness made the U.S. Democracy possible.

So, we are presently going through a working through of karma with someone who still sees himself as King and Emperor and who doesn't believe in Democracy at all, who ONLY believes in Divine right to rule like the ancient kings did.

This is a very great problem for "Rule of Law" not only in the U.S. but also worldwide.

Later: In thinking this through Karmically it is also possible that some of the supporters of Trump would be the Tories who here in the U.S. supported the King over General Washington at that time too.
