The Intuition Reveals Information from the Future

One Sunday morning in Seoul, I prepared early to go teach classes. It had snowed the night before and it was very cold. I packed my usual bag —boots, balls, cones, the book I’m reading— and, purely on intuition, I also took the shovel for clearing snow. From my apartment window the streets looked completely clean, but something told me to bring it anyway.

When I arrived at the first field, everything was spotless. Not a single flake. I could have been annoyed at carrying extra weight on such a cold day, but it didn’t bother me at all. I simply carried on.

After finishing the morning private lessons, I had lunch and took the bus to the second location, about 40 minutes away. I used the ride to keep reading. Just before getting off at my stop, a young woman gently took my arm and handed me a handmade drawing. She had sketched me on the bus: me reading, with my “friend” the shovel beside me. Next to it she wrote only: “Cool shovel and book”.

When I reached the second field I saw there actually was snow. But the father of one of my students had already cleared the entire area we would use. Once again, at first glance the shovel seemed unnecessary.

Yet that shovel had not been carried in vain.

Even without knowing it, it had served as inspiration for someone else. That girl on the bus saw me, observed me during the ride, and decided to draw me. She didn’t know me, but something about that image —a guy reading with a shovel on a freezing bus— struck her as worth capturing. And that drawing ended up in my hands.

That day I had brought the shovel with me purely on instinct. And I didn’t really understand why until that moment.

Drawing from an unknown friend. I'll call it: "Cool shovel and book"

There is a great deal of information in potential waiting to be revealed.

What some mystical schools assert begins to make practical sense: it is through intuition that we can access information from the future. Because, in a higher order of reality —where the space-time limitations we perceive do not exist—, past, present, and future occur simultaneously.

Intuition is not blind magic. It is an antenna that picks up signals from that greater order. Sometimes the signal is subtle (carrying an unnecessary shovel), other times more obvious (accepting a piece of paper handed to you by a stranger on the bus and later realizing it is a drawing of you being yourself).

In this particular case, the information “bring the shovel” only made sense once I received the drawing. Until then it seemed like a failed action on my part. This is one of the great paradoxes of this dimensional plane: temporal limitations lead us to believe we see the full reality and we judge events as good or bad with incomplete information.

It is like watching only one scene of a movie and deciding it is bad. Later, when you watch the whole film, you understand that scene was crucial to the outcome.

“Every good hidden in the occult carries the germ of evil; every evil hidden in the occult carries the germ of good.”

We must be conscious of this. An event we judge as good could turn out to be bad “chapters later” in our story, and the reverse is also true.

But if I understand that everything can be learned from, I am probably more willing to receive the information from events, knowing that my perception is always limited. In a higher plane, where past, present, and future are contained simultaneously, everything that happens must happen. There are no coincidences.

Or rather: we call coincidences those events we do not yet fully understand, and which we may understand later.

Intuition, like the body or the mind, can also be trained. It is very simple: spend time with yourself, trying to listen beyond the thoughts racing through your head. Many people tend to believe they are their thoughts, but no: we are what observes those thoughts. And that consciousness is always present.

That consciousness is the link to the future, because whoever is truly present simply knows what to do. It is that simple.

Presence can inspire others. In fact, your presence is always inspiring someone, whether you are aware of it or not. That is why it is necessary to work on fundamental questions: What do I want to inspire? And once that is clear, act accordingly.

If we try to show what we are not, ultimately we deceive ourselves first, because although we appear divided by form, we are all one.

“The end of the matter is that the hidden be seen.”

The hidden that exists within one has the purpose of being revealed.

It depends on us to carry out this work of revelation, so we can offer what is unique and what only we have brought to this plane. Each individual carries a unique fragment of the unity mentioned earlier (our ancestors knew this as Monad).

That unknown woman captured a flash of revelation of my soul: in the drawing I see the embodiment of my words, every opportune moment for learning. I am on the path to the revelation of what is hidden within me.

For this, one must work on oneself and above all keep in mind that the work is always from the inside out, never the other way around.

The tree is in the seed.

The statue is in the stone.

The most complete and finished version of yourself is already inside you.

We only need to create the necessary conditions so that what is potential in the hidden can be revealed.

Sometimes failing a pass, losing a match, being rejected by one or more teams, may hide valuable information so that you can refine your qualities and eventually arrive at a more complete version of yourself.

Your intuition, known to some as the “inner voice,” is speaking to you. If you can manage, even for an instant, to silence all the noise in your mind, perhaps you can hear yourself; perhaps in that instant you can begin to truly live, because:

“Being alive and living are not the same.”

And you, dear reader? When was the last time you followed your intuition even though, in the moment, it seemed “pointless”? What has been revealed to you afterward?
