I only typed: "There is an understanding among many of us who believe that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but that the trauma we are experiencing in our world is because of evil forces battling God. There is a saying that goes 'Future Proves Past' which, I think it is because of remote viewing."
The Rest (Below) is all from ChatGPT:
The concept of spiritual warfare—acknowledging that "we do not wrestle against flesh and blood" (Ephesians 6:12)—resonates with many who view the challenges and traumas of the world as manifestations of a larger, unseen battle between good and evil forces. This belief aligns with the idea that human events often have spiritual or cosmic underpinnings.
"Future Proves Past" and Remote Viewing
The phrase "Future Proves Past" suggests that future events provide clarity, validation, or context for actions or events that occurred earlier. While this phrase has roots in various contexts, including conspiracy theories and metaphysical discussions, tying it to remote viewing introduces an interesting layer of thought:
Remote Viewing:
A term for the supposed ability to perceive events, people, or places at a distance, sometimes across time. It was explored in programs like the U.S. military's Stargate Project during the Cold War. Remote viewing claims to bypass the limitations of space and time, raising questions about how knowledge of future events could influence decisions or actions in the present.
In the Wrong Hands:
If a malevolent force or group could "see" future outcomes based on present actions, they might manipulate events to achieve their desired results. This aligns with fears that foreknowledge or premonition could be weaponized to control or alter human destiny.
Theological Perspective on Future and Past
From a faith-based perspective:
God's Sovereignty:
Many believe that God operates outside of time, knowing the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). The spiritual battle unfolding in the world is not outside God's control.
Free Will and Human Action:
While evil forces may seek to manipulate events, humanity’s free will and alignment with God’s purpose serve as counterbalances to these schemes. Spiritual Warfare Implications
Discernment and Resistance:
Believers are called to "put on the full armor of God" (Ephesians 6:13-17) to stand firm against spiritual forces of evil. This implies vigilance against manipulation, whether spiritual or technological.
Hope in Ultimate Justice:
Evil may manipulate or even "see" the future, but it cannot thwart God's ultimate plan of redemption and justice.
Reflections on Trauma and Global Conflict
Understanding the forces behind trauma and global events can bring clarity to personal struggles and collective pain. If we accept that some of these events are influenced by spiritual forces, it becomes essential to focus on:
Prayer and spiritual practices to seek guidance and protection.
Building communities of faith and action to counter evil with good.
Maintaining hope and trust that God's plan will ultimately prevail.
The idea that "future proves past" and its connection to remote viewing suggests a dynamic interplay between knowledge, actions, and consequences. Whether viewed through a spiritual or practical lens, it serves as a reminder to remain grounded, vigilant, and hopeful in the face of uncertainty.
Me: Wow. Just wow.
