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

by Ingo Swann

anchored in memory strata, the waking intellect may or may not be aware of the anchor-points without making an effort to recover them. For example, the memory of my Sunday school teacher connecting future-seeing to the work of the devil had receded deep into my

memory banks. But I eventually retrieved it by introspection. Once they have become installed in experiential memory, anti-future-seeing anchor-points act as “noise” if and when the individual experiences some kind of...

parapsychologist Gertrude Schmeidler conducted the “sheep/goats” test, the goal being to see if those who believed in ESP (the sheep) scored better in ESP tests than those who did not (the goats). The results of the testing showed that not only did

believers tend to score better but the disbelievers often scored far below chance expectation.

Dr. Schmeidler’s evidence was later confirmed by many other researchers. In that beliefs are one of the outcomes of installed val...

anchored adaptation levels.

Anchors had a brief heyday in psychological research in the 1950s, during which it was determined that we become adapted to (thus anchored in) phenomena of our environments. For example, if we live in a noisy city, we

adapt to the noise and literally make anchor-points that filter it out. If we live in a dangerous environment, we positively adapt our danger-sensing mechanisms, but if we live in a nonthreatening environment we deadapt from our

danger-sensing mechanisms. The early research regarding anchored adaptation levels concluded that an anchor could not be changed once it had become embedded in the individual’s subliminal subconsciou...

Our adaptation level to the meaning of hot stoves locks in very fast, and our responses become automatic. If we are repeatedly exposed, say, to religious or scientific tenets we will adapt to them, too. More graphically, if we are

exposed to ideas that “sex is dirty,” “men are beasts,” “money is the root of all evil,” or “no one can see into the future,” the chances are great that we will adapt to those “values” and become anchored in them.

Since anchored adaptation levels can b...

Speaking more technically here, value norm anchors appear to be related to state-dependent conditions. For example, adapting to a noisy environment is a state-dependent condition. Dis-adapting to your future-seeing powers in order to fit into a society that disbelieves in future-seeing is also a state-dependent condition. Behaviorists referred to this as “conditioning,” an idea that permitted them to hypothesize that we are

completely formed by our environments. There is some truth to this, of course, since conditioning results in state-dependent adaptations. Value norm anchor-points exist on a scale from ultra-negative to ultra-positive. They have one more characteristic that is pertinent

to the context of this book, too: they also possess “acceptable margins,...

Projection is a defense mechanism via which the installed value norm anchor-points attribute absolute correctness to themselves and project wrongness onto others. For example, the projective defense mechanism may believe it is correct not to perceive the future and

project incorrectness onto those who do—sometimes burning them at the stake or socially degrading or persecuting them.

Why anchor-point defense mechanisms (which block access to real realities) exist in the first place is a great mystery to...

theory regarding them holds that they exist to protect us psychologically from shocking or deeply traumatic materials or realities. This is certainly one of the known functions of perceptual defenses. But beneath that sp...

All the concepts in this chapter can be diagrammed or sketched. For example, locate a value or belief you would not change for the world. Draw a circle representing it. Then make two lists. First, list reasons why you would not change the value or belief.

Number these ideas sequentially, and place each number inside small circles inside the large circle. These will represent your anchor-points. Second, make another list of ways you would defend yourself against changing the value or belief. Number these, and

place them in small circles around the outside of the larger circle. These will reveal your defense mechanisms, which “protect” the anchor-points against changing. I’ve made many lists of my “unalterabl...
