Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[DarthXedonias]

The ability to "see the future" is known as prophecy when you are doing it visually and "prophetic whatever" when you do it through other senses.  It's not rare visually and empathically, but it's also not common either.  

Prophetic ability is definitely a can of worms, and here's why.  What you see is not guaranteed to happen.  It may either be the most likely future or the one your subconscious is most wanting or afraid of.  Now if it's the "most likely", but doesn't happen, then you're going to have people complaining that the sub doesn't work.  If you can't discern what you want vs what is most likely then you're going to be wrong a lot.  If you can't discern what you're afraid of vs what is most likely, then you're going to unconsciously steer things towards manifesting what you're afraid of, and make negative things tend to happen more.

Then we have to consider the potential consequences of having this ability be easily accessible to someone or a group or more than one group who wants to use it to control, manipulate, take advantage of, misuse, harm with it.  How do you prevent that?

It's not something I really think is wise for me to make...

Thanks @Shannonfor the response. This makes me think of something I heard before but didn't know if it were true. The idea is that the future is constantly in motion and not static. So you might get a vision of something that is most likely to happen but it doesn't end up for happen because of this. Would this idea be true? 

Also for your concerns would you be able to put safeties in place to make sure the power isn't misused or just used to harm? 

I did also think of one other thing though I wasn't sure if it was put under Psychic Phenomenon. Would you be able to make a sub that helps a person make a Tulpa? From my understanding of it the person has to consequently create the different individual in their mind. I wonder if with the subconscious you could speed up the process, make it better, and safer than an individual left to their own devices. I do wonder as wlell if making a general sub that commands the subconscious to make one according to the individuals conscience desires then would it be possible to have the sub command the subconscious to make one according to one's higherself or to represent the individuals deeps levels of the subconcious. I could see how this might help out so theirs more understanding of what's going on subconsciously. In the higherself example the person could actually have more an mentor to help guide them more. I do admit I would prefer the one that takes into consideration your conscious desires for more variety. 

Btw, I do apologize if the last topic broke any rules or anything. Wasn't sure if it does.
