Humans appear to be set up for sensing the future: ‘the heart may perceive future events before the brain does’ … ‘at the very least it implies the brain does not act alone in the perception of future events’.*
Many species of animal display senses which makes it possible for them to anticipate approaching danger – weak signals from a future which is not quite upon them. When we think in these terms, it isn’t surprising that we have sensing skills too. Jospeh Jaworski proffers:
‘Human beings are exquisitely designed to sense the future, shape it, and bring it to reality – to actualise it when necessary and meaningful, as it desires.’*
What fascinates me is the possibility of shaping a future. There’s no such thing as the future – I guess Jaworski isn’t suggesting there is. More likely, we’re expressing an awakening of our perceptual skills towards expected, possible, and preferred futures. It is the possibility of preferred futures which catches my attention.
We can all develop “good eyes,” making it possible for us to see more of what’s happening, and to develop the skills to see and shape a better future with foresight, intention, and love.
