Book excerpt: You Can Predict the Future Throughout the centuries the future has been seen in dreams, in visions, and by seers. But you don't have to be a prophet or a visionary to predict what the future holds. Now, Ingo Swann explains how to understand and use the future-predicting ability that lies within. He identifies the different ways the future is revealed: Spontaneous forewarnings during dreams Spontaneous alerts that happen when awake Forewarnings and alerts communally experienced by numbers of people while sleeping or while awake Consciously controlled future-seeing achieved by seers Ingo Swann also presents fascinating, documented examples of prophecies that came true, ranging from those that foresaw the sinking of the Titanic to his own prediction of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Your Nostradamus Factor explains how you can develop your ability to foresee the future by: • Overcoming blocks to future-seeing • Tracking a particular subject and testing your predictions • Using astrology to help see the future, and • Paying close attention to your dreams. With the millennium right around the corner, Swann also offers startling predictions for the future of the environment, the economy, science, and society. (originally published in 1993)
