Having just read your blog, I can understand that this is something that is not only personal to them but also personal to you.  All I can say is that you meditate and ask for guidance on this, assuming that you have not done so already.  You need to work with the spirit world as when it is something personal, things like this tend to cloud your judgment and so wrong decisions are made.  Do the meditation for as long as you can and keep putting out that question - should I guide or shouldn't I guide.  The spirit world will help you and you will find the answer in time.  If no answer is received from the spirit world, then it is obvious that the pathway that is set up must continue it's course.  Should that be the case, then be prepared before the event happens. :littleangel:

Thanks Helefra for the advice-I do appreciate it.

I meditated for over an hour and the only guidance I got was that something will come before to help me decide what to do. So for now I will wait.

Beloved Hamster,

You raised many excellent questions in your blog today.  I was particularly intrigued by the following question:

"Would I have responded positively to a well meaning friend telling me about one of those up and coming events at that time? Probably yes is all I can say and yet still it would not really have helped me in the long run. All that would have happened is that I would have set up yet another cycle to learn from."

In my opinion, you are correct: Another learning cycle would be set up if one was averted due to alerting someone of a precognition.

If our purpose as human beings is to love God and grow spiritually, then tests are a valuable tool for our progress.

To "skip over" a test due to someone else's warning may eliminate that test, but surely others will follow as God wants us to grow.

From a Bahá'í perspective, the severity of a test and our power to survive them with grace can be cultivated using prayer and fasting:

"...prayer and fasting is the cause of awakening and mindfulness and conducive to protection and preservation from tests."

This statement does not mean prayer and fasting can eliminate tests; it only means that we can be spared some of the extreme anguish associated with them.

If I were in your position, I would tell your friend or family member, "I have seen that a difficult test is coming your way.  I advise you to pray for strength, and I will pray for you, as well."

In this way, you will not be frightening your friend or family member, you will simply be preparing them for the inevitable.

Please keep us updated.

My positive thoughts and prayers are with you.

Britt

Thanks Britt for taking the time to write that.

That approach will not work however as the moment I say anything they demand the truth. Also this affects me and my path too so I am going to affect their outcome whether I say anything or not. 

And once it does happen-will I then face questions of why I didn't say anything.

Dear Hamster, ::huggers::

I certainly don't envy you.  Indeed a difficult situation to be in.

What comes to my mind...

forget for a moment that you have this ability.  In looking at the situation without knowing what you know, do you see cause for concern anyway?  If so, isn't that what friends do?  Help our friends perhaps see what we see?  Afterall, if we love them and only have their best interests at heart, should we not offer them another perspective for them to consider? 

Since you said this affects you and I'm assuming as a result would also affect your children, I would try to think of a way to convey to them my concern, perhaps without divulging what you 'know'.

Wishing you the best in whatever you decide.

Yep, me too, I hope the right decision comes to you soon.

I sometimes wonder why someone would want to know the future.  Personally, I wouldn't want to know as I would wonder, "Does knowing the possible outcome become a self-fulfilling prophesy?"

Personally, I do not think precognition is destiny, just a possible outcome.

Hope it goes well.

On your recent blog: I know how hard it is to stop yourself from saying something when you know someone is going down the wrong path. Especially when you're sensitive!
Thing is, you have to trust them to take the experiences they need and make the right choice. If they seemingly don't, maybe there is something in their karma that they need to pay back before thay can move on; maybe they opted to take this choice before they can progress.
You can still tell them - they may not listen if they don't want to hear it. If they do, it may serve as a warning. Go with what you feel is right.

Yep it seems it is resolving itself now anyway. But I learnt the answer to a few difficult questions. Time will tell what happens after I guess.
