While the 'future' technically doesn't exist, it is possible to detect what probabilities are taking shape though not necessarily what will actually happen. I believe our host has pointed this out involving the astrological charts he draws. They don't predict the future so much as show what probabilities are taking shape and what paths the 'future' is most likely to follow as it manifests and becomes the 'present'. I've always felt that synchronicities reveal the underlying harmony of all the realities but not necessarily what is to come. There are always Black Swans and little gremlins popping out of the woodwork on occasion which can upset even the most carefully drawn astrological and geomantic charts.
Mentally ill people may be sensitive to the astral but their illnesses distort any useful information making it worse than useless. Living with a mentally ill sibling (paranoid schizophrenia) has allowed to me to see that the torments such people experience are not really insightful unless it's into their psyche. His ramblings are a bricolage of life experiences as well as what he reads in the paper garbled with terrors of being spied on, threatened or mocked by those only he can see, all people from his personal past. If there's any influence from the astral, it gets lost in the static of his malfunctioning brain. I find it all more saddening than enlightening.
I suspect much the same is true for those who cook up word salads whether they are crazy or not. Entities might be taking advantage of their fear and confusion by stirring things up but they are not producing or really guiding it. In fact most of the nutsyness we're seeing is largely self-generated rather than the result of any entity involvement. The entities are more likely just sitting back to watch, consuming their equivalent of popcorn and root beer.
The Book of Revelations can be read at multiple levels of course which is true of any esoteric writing. But I don't see any age of increased consciousness coming, only a massive seismic shift of politics, national boundaries and the environment along with the religions, philosophies etc which go with them. Once the rubble finishes bouncing, people will pick up and move on, as they always have. 'Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose' as the French like to say.
Re: Entity Involvement. Demonic influence or the wrath of a God. Or Both?
