Premonition, Predestination & the God Question

Posted by Zephyr
My background- raised christian. As a child I always questioned the teachings of the churches that I would attend, the doctrine never "sat right" within me. As an teenager I started realizing that I was intuitive, I began to open my mind to other teachings and began learning about spirituality. I became educated and started really question the existence of god. I always wanted to believe in god, not really believing that god was the man in the books I read, but part of me struggled because the idea of god didn't seem to be rational. I could even explain the spiritual world, as being a medium I believed that spirits could exist without a deity. The thing that I could not reconcile is if god didn't exist than how do I explain coincidence & synchronicity. I don't know if I will ever truly answer that question in my life time but interestingly, a series of "lucky" events happened today on 7/7/07 but anyway, here is the story.

I had a premonition yesterday at 6:30 am upon rising (a verbal message because that is how my guides speak to me) that I would see a particular friend (a romantic interest) last night -and I did. That friend contacted me at 8 am and asked me what if I had plans for that evening. For the first time I actually investigated this further by asking my friend at what time did he decide that he wanted to see me and he said - just a few minutes before I spoke to you. Maybe it doesn't seem weird to you but - I should mention we've only been on a few dates so we are not a regular thing and I wasn't anticipating that I would be seeing him that night.

So I got the message about an hour and a half before it happened. So I can explain this in two ways - either the theory of physics that time is not linear is true, we have many lifetimes occurring the the same time, or there is such a thing as predestination. I suppose I could say that because I thought it - that it happened but since that hasn't worked with the 99% of the things I have needed or wanted in my life I don't buy that whole "secret" business. Since I am a not physics kind of girl, let's go with predestination for the sake of argument.

If it was predestined, who was the guide who told me that I would see my friend, and why? And if were destined to see this friend, who decided this and why? And if there is predestination -doesn't it seem that there must be a higher power that orchestrates the events that unfold in our lives?

I am not sure why I never questioned this before. I guess if you believe that all of your lifetimes are happening simultaneously than one could argue that I am my own guide from another lifetime, telling myself these things but then I would have to also explain how I know how to talk to myself in another lifetime but I don't know how to do that in this one. Interesting.

Something to think about and I wonder how I never thought about it before. Questions, comments, thoughts welcomed.
