Future Foreboding, or the Reverse

Future Foreboding, or the Reverse

No one has figured out the secrets of the brain, or humanity, which in my and others' opinion has to do with us being creations of God; we are progressing to become like Him. And Her. And Them.

And God is nothing but mysterious. Enigmatic, somewhat.

Don't worry Christians, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and we are trying to become like Him.

Well, that may worry some Christians depending on their theologies, doctrines, tenets, beliefs...

But I believe Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

Going off the religious tangent a bit into science fiction, there are always those powerful figures like Yoda in Star Wars who augur the future. I suppose this is true of talismans in Julius Caesar or the witches in Hamlet. (Thanks Willy Shakes, you the greatest).

Prophets of all faiths and paths have more or less always done this. Seers prophesy.

Epiphanies, sudden bursts of light, as it were, can inform as to what is to come.

Some call this predictive analysis. Oh, nice secular reference there.

Nevertheless, the future awaits, and we may contemplate it. 

Dune as arguably a great work, that had mentats and other prescient beings that could foretell the future, deals with soothsaying of sorts. I guess Frank Herbert is an unheralded super star.

All our brains are mentats of some shape of form, even in sleep they do not turn off.

They constantly are running programs, to use a current term for our computers of the modern (21st century).

I foresee many futures, things are vague or opaque, like Yoda would say," So much pain."

That is what Siddhartha Gautama, i.e., the Buddha declared to some degree so long ago.

He saw our future, maybe. He was Enlightened. Granted an epiphany of the present, the past, the future.

The eternal.

The ever present.

What about Nietsche with the eternal recurrence?

Is that what I am talking about?

I am not sure, but I see into the future.

There will be hunger. There will be pain. There will be music-- and dancing.

There will be droughts, famines, wars, pestilences. Everything in the Bible does come true.

No fear true Christians! Be not afraid.

Jesus is in charge, posit faith in Him and all will be fine.

And if you are blessed, or lucky, or privileged, or what have you, your present and your future will become aligned.

And there you are.

Here we are.

Seeing boldly into the eternities.

The futures. The ever winding myth of ourselves.

On and on.

And it will never stop.

Bank on it, put your money into those futures.

And if it becomes a pessimistic Foreboding Future, the reverse? 

Never fear, there are ways to mitigate those fears.

Concentrate on "the now".

Problem solved.

And the future is now. Other cliches make it seem plausible, sensible, tenable.
