Your Nostradamus Factor: Accessing Your Innate Ability to See into the Future

by Ingo Swann

1927, a book entitled New and Enlarged Edition of Cheiro’s World Predictions: The Fate of Nations came out in New Delhi.

Cheiro (pronounced like Cairo) was actually Count Louis Hamon (1886— 1936), an ebullient, pear-shaped fellow, born in Ireland, an astrologer-palmist-numerologist whose international fame was worldwide at the turn of the century. And for good reason: his seer forecasting

abilities were completely staggering. In the 1927 book, Cheiro produced a forecast that was extraordinary for his time: as of 1980, “the Jews, or as they will again be called, Israelites, will have made enormous s...

After the turn of the century, another eminent future-seer was at work in equally astonishing

ways—Walter Gorn Old (1864-1929), born in Handsworth, Birmingham, England, who himself adopted the pseudonym of “Sepharial,” one of the many who used that name. Whereas Cheiro was a social type of fellow who circulated in the highest strata of society, Sepharial was

Sepharial’s forecasting accuracy was positively awesome. He had first predicted a “great war of nations” in his 1896 Manual of Astrology as “coming soon.” In his 1913 Survey he gave the date for its commencement as “a...

You can begin by copying it. If you copy it (rather than just look at it), you will have to use your image-building, right-hemisphere functions. These functions will involve your autonomic nervous system (in ways that are not understood in science), but the effect will be a restructuring of your intellect. This model, however, is my model, and copying it gives your intellect only an idea of what is required. Try to diagram your own

versions of it. If you watch it do so, your intellect will now reorganize itself and begin to provide a model that is more appropriate to you— so long as you image-build (by actually sketching or diagramming) what is being visualized. In fact, as you read on, your model will

More Than One Mind? We consider and explain the whole of this spectrum as the mind (in the singular) and assume that the intellect (again in the singular) is its strategic command center. But a problem with this explanation emerges

when we realize that spontaneous episodes of future-seeing originate not from the intellect but from other minds when the individual is asleep or in some altered awake state. The term mind as used today may be less than a thousand years old (our recorded history

began about six thousand years ago), and the concept of a mind is much more recent. Our ancient ancestors had no word for mind, and they did not believe that thinking went on in the brain. They thought tha...

even outside of it—much in the way the new sciences are discovering. The word mind, as we know it today, is derived from root words meaning “to think,” “to intend,” and “to remember,” but especially those...

“something in you knew it all along, anyway.”

The confirmed concept of multiple minds gives rise to the concept of multiple intelligences, which has succinctly been set forth in Howard Gardner’s lively book Frames of Mind: The Theory

of Multiple Intelligences (1983). As Gardner points out, there is persuasive evidence for the existence of several “relatively autonomous intelligences.” But research since 1983 has begun to establish that some of these minds are completely autonomous and possess

Rationalism was (and still is) defined as the theory that reason is in itself a source of knowledge superior to and independent of the sense perceptions.

Intuitus-Intellectus The rationalist definition is of relatively recent vintage, yet the term intellect is very old. In researching the problem of adapting our intellects to

our future-seeing powers, I decided to undertake an archeological autopsy to find out how it was defined before it was colonized by and converted into its exclusive rationalistic definition. In tracing the history of intellect backward from the present, it was

surprising to find that the once-authoritative 1892 Encyclopaedia Britannica did not have an entry for “intellect.” That encyclopedia, however, does provide commentary on “intellection” and “intellectual feeli...

We can feel-sense many relationships that do not fit in with our established rational and logical deductions. And if the intellect is not supposed to feel or to will, then what is it supposed to do? If we consider, as has be...

It is quite possible, then, that the pre-rationalist definitions of intuition and intellect were the same. The Oxford English Dictionary points up that the Latin intuitus meant “to look at and

contemplate felt relationships,” while the Latin intellectus meant “to perceive and discern felt relationships.” The products of intuitus and intellectus, in a felt-looked-at-perceived kind of way, are identical: a discernment, a meaning, a feeling, a signification, any
