Prediction requires a knowledge of the past.
Prophecy requires a knowing of the future.
I make a prediction of my future based on my memories of my past experiences.
My beliefs create my reality. I can therefore predict that my future will re-present my past, unless I change the beliefs that I hold in my present.
In a reality where beliefs evolve over time, and therefore a reality which evolves over time, it is impossible to predict how beliefs and reality will evolve over time. Predicting the long term future is not possible because everything inevitably changes and evolves with time.
When I predict what will happen based on what has happened before, I focus on what happened before and create my prediction with the focus of my attention.
My Self lives in the present with the memories of my past. It has the authority of prediction (I can choose my future), without the ability of prophecy.
Prophecy is the ability of the Soul.
A Prophet has an intuitive sense of knowing, feeling or seeing.
A Prophet has the ability to See with the ‘Eyes of their Soul’.
Prophecy requires the ‘Ears to Hear’ the direction of my Soul.
My Soul knows my chosen Path in Life.
My Soul prophecises the opportunities for my Self in each present moment of time.
A Prophet interprets the prophecies of their own Soul for their Self, or acts as a channel or medium for another’s Soul to contact its Self.
A Prophet may be a Gnostic (one who knows), a Seer (one who sees), or a Sensitive (one who feels).
A Prophet who makes predictions is a Charlatan.
