Premonition, creation or resistance?
A question that’s been on my mind for a while, and I’m only slightly closer to receiving an answer about, is whether things I see are a premonition, a creation, or just resistance? Let me explain. Sometimes I see things unfold in my mind before they happen. Classic example: I was nervous about releasing the student’s grades in my day job because it was the first time I needed to do it. Just before I highlighted the cohort, I had an image that once they were highlighted, something would happen and all of the grades would be deleted. I dismissed it as fear, highlighted the names, my cat jumped on the keyboard and all the grades disappeared. The day that Christmas break started. Fortunately, after an anxious Christmas, the IT department retrieved them, but it left me questioning whether the situation was a premonition or whether I created that situation by thinking it could happen. I’m still no closer to figuring out the answer, but a friend of mine gave me her take on it and I loved her answer so much that I’ll share it with you now. She said ‘The second that you have a premonition that something might happen, and proceed to act, you’ve created the situation.’ Read that again and reflect, because that statement gave me great insight into how we create our future. What she’s saying is that if we see something and don’t want the outcome, we should choose another course of action, so that we can get a better outcome that is better for our lifestyle and relationships and can help us learn lessons and virtues in an easier way.
This then leads to the question of resistance. Resistance occurs when something is for your highest good but you look at it and think ‘Oh no, this is going to be potentially rewarding but hard work/life changing in the interim’ and part of you wants to run. It could be to do with any issue. A course, a relationship, a job, having a baby, running for President. There are many things that would be for your highest good that you can resist and something that I struggle with knowing the difference between to this day is ‘Is this resistance or a premonition that I should take a different course of action?’ My conclusion? At the end of the day, you need to trust your intuition. Somebody else can give you advise but ultimately you need to tune in and ask yourself;
‘Is this just resistance?’
‘If I proceed with this, what’s the best that can happen? What’s the worst that can happen?’
‘Will this decision make a major difference to my life and lifestyle and, if so, is that difference beneficial?’
Then you can take action (or avoid action) based on the answers you receive. I hope that helps clarify the difference between premonition, creation, and resistance based on my current perspective and knowledge base. It may change as I experience different phenomena. Which is cool. At the very least, I hope I’ve given you something to think about and would love to hear your take on the issue.
