I don't know whether it's appropriate to post this since I already asked for a birth chart reading but I don't know if the topics relate in any way, so I hope I'm still following the rules.

Another thing to address is I don't think I'm psychic or have any conscious ability to tap into any ability I have to predict the future.  On that note, here's my question:

A month or two ago I got into a car wreck (my mother was the driver). Less than a split second prior, I was thinking I don't want to be in a car wreck. Normally this doesn't seem necessary to bring up in a forum like this as coincidences do happen but, do they happen so quickly and in such a short amount of time? And yes, literally a split second had not gone by before the car wreck occurred. I cannot measure the time it took between my thought and the wreck but this devastated me.

Now I am too afraid to get into a car or even attempt to drive again because I feel like my thoughts will project into reality like it did then.

THIS IS NOT TO BE SEEN IN ANY WAY AS BEING A READING, AND YOU ARE THEREFORE STILL ELIGIBLE TO REQUEST AND RECEIVE YOUR BIRTH CHART READING IN THE SAME MONTH AS MY FOLLOWING OPINIONS.

Personally I do not feel that to answer this requires a reading.

It is one thing to believe that you predicted a future event, but quite another to believe that your prediction actually caused the event.

I take issue with you when you state that the ability to predict the future with any reasonable level of accuracy and reliability greater than would be expected by coincidence or chance does not mean that you are psychic.

But I completely agree with you that currently have a limited ability to consciously tap into your psychic gift of precognition. Precognition comes through our unconscious mind rather than through our daily conscious mind. By definition anything which is unconscious is beyond our conscious mind to control, as is also true for our psychic abilities overall.

The only real difference between a psychic prophet and the rest of us who only now and then are given brief glimpses of the most likely future outcome if nothing changes in the meantime (which never happens) is that this ability is already more developed and that the person has consciously decided to further develop it in the loving service of others.

You cannot control this ability. Only learn to better manage it and channel it into something positive and helpful. Using it to scare yourself so much that you are afraid of taking the calculated risks which are needed for you to achieve anything of importance to you is NOT a positive use of your psychic or spiritual gift of prophecy.

It is anti or against LIFE!  

Predicting the future deals more with probabilities than it does with unchangeable outcomes. The possibility that you will die in a terrible accident within the next 60 minutes according to the laws of chance and the Universe is always near or equal to 100%.  Within the laws of the Universe of which we presently have a primitive understanding, virtually anything is possible.

But on the other hand the probability that you will die in a terrible accident within the next 60 minutes is actually quite low, unless you happen to be presently driving a moving vehicle and are talking on your cell phone instead of watching the road ahead.

Neither you or your dear mother came to any serious and lasting harm? You had a close call but someone or something out there or within you was obviously watching over and protecting you both on that day. I understand how unsettling this was for you to pick up what may have been a psychic echo moving backwards seconds in time warning you to be prepared for a quick stop, but please do not allow this to make you believe that your thought itself caused the close call or near miss.

That type of distorted belief is often a product of the teachings of New Age gurus who claim that the world around us including all the people living in it are only a product of our thoughts. It is true that our most regularly and strongly held unconscious thoughts do have some undetermined impact on the world, other people and what our future will turn out to be, but the concept that their (our thought's) impact or influence over everything other than ourselves is even 50% (let alone 100%) is pure nonsense.

 

Instead of worrying yourself sick and possibly causing an accident because you seriously overestimate the power of a single temporary conscious thought to control the future, look where you are going and drive defensively. If you are still that nervous see if there is a school in your local area which is also affordable, for you to learn more advanced driving skills and better ways of getting out of tight spots if an accident or mistake might happen sometime from now on.

Do not however allow your fears to get out of all reasonable proportion and control you to the extent that you give up driving permanently. This would greatly decrease your available life options, and would be in my opinion for nothing.

Hoping that this has helped and offered you greater peace of mind.

Be kind to yourself and to those whom you love (including your mother).

I have no idea how to respond to this, so I'll be simple with my response. This is some very wise advice, and I do in fact realize how illogical my emotions are---then again, which emotions are logical to begin with? In essence, this pretty much sets my mind at ease. Now, when it comes to learning to manage it and channel this energy, I would have to read up on that somehow. It might help with the rest of my emotions remaining stable.

Thanks for your advice. It is greatly appreciated.

PB,

You are very welcome for the advice and with me being chronically depressed and suffering anxiety attacks on a regular basis, there is I feel with due respect very little that you can tell me about our emotions not being logical that I already do not know about from painful first hand experience.

Our logic and feelings are designed to work side by side and complement each other, but when our emotions get the best of us I have discovered the hard way that logic and reason both tend to desert us when they are most needed.

Yours was a very deep and thought provoking question and I thank you for the opportunity to discuss this with you, as I believe that reading this will help many other members as well in the process in learning to better come to terms with their own psychic abilities.

It was my pleasure.
