Scanning ahead is something your soul level of consciousness does all the time. Usually, it quietly and helpfully nudges you in the right direction. Sometimes, it makes a big fuss if you’re about to head into a dangerous situation which is about to be caused by others.

September 11th, 2001 (the infamous “Nine-Eleven”) is a great example of intuitive alarm bells going off. On that day, when two aircraft were flown into the World Trade Center, half the passengers booked on those flights either cancelled just before or didn’t show up!

Today, we live in days of accelerated change where being in the right place at the right time has an increased importance in our ability to function as effective lightworkers.

Your sense of intuition is enhanced by the practice of regular meditation. The more you practice, the more you gain insight into every aspect of your life. Insights can relate to present or past events, leading to a greater understanding of your life’s path, or they can relate to future events.

The insights you gain into future events can be challenging in four ways:

1. The future is not fixed. Until you experience it, the future remains as an array of possibilities with a “most likely” scenario based on what holds the greatest energy.

2. Viewing the future can change the outcome. Even a 100% accurate view of the most likely scenario will trigger questions about whether you want that scenario to manifest, and that change can influence the outcome. This can give the illusion of inaccuracy in the original prediction.

3. Inner impressions come into your awareness through your imagination. However, a fertile imagination can create images on its own, almost for pure entertainment. True impressions of a future event arrive while you are in a meditative state, or sometimes while performing a monotonous task such as driving at a constant speed. They don’t fire up with the great energy of a dramatic imagination. They slip in quietly and have to be examined and unraveled to see what each impression contains.

4. When you first start scanning the future, your predictions will be less accurate than they will become later, after constant practice.

Sometimes, lack of self-esteem can be a barrier to the development of your innate abilities. In that case you need to be aware that everyone is everything that Infinite Being is. The universe is holographic by design, meaning that while the many make up the One, the One is also mirrored within each of the many. So, each person, each spark of Infinite Being, contains all of the qualities of Infinite Being.

There is no second best: We all have the qualities of the best of the best within us. Lack of self-esteem, therefore, is only a personality trait and not reflective of your true self.

You have a perfect sense of intuition or insight, just waiting to be better developed. One of the hallmarks of the global shift to higher consciousness is that, with each passing year, more and more people will develop more of their inner abilities.

My top-recommended method

As I will discuss in my upcoming Cosmic Truth interview, one of the best intuition-gathering methods is this:

1. Be curious about the best solution to a problem
2. Ask your intuition to go to work on it
3. Quit thinking about it
4. Wait for the answer to arrive afresh over the next day or so. “Afresh” means that, when you remember that you wanted an answer and before your physical brain starts creating its own idea of an answer, the solution suddenly pops into your awareness.

While you are practicing your intuitive skills, it is a good idea to make written notes for later reference. In meditation, insights may arrive while you are in that altered, meditative state, so their memory dissipates quickly just like the memory of your dreams. If you keep notes, then re-read them weeks or months later, you will be amazed at how accurate many of these insights were.

Sometimes, you will also see how insights into less than desirable scenarios caused you to make a decision to steer your life in a different direction. When faced with decisions about which direction to turn, a reliable barometer is your sense of highest joy. Ask yourself:

“What scenario would represent my highest joy?”

When you follow your highest joy, you are following the path through life which is most closely aligned with your true essence – your soul or inner self.
