As the author of this book it still is quite fascinating how the discovery of spiral forecasting came about. Even though I spent the last forty years as a psychic and committed student to paranormal studies, one might surmise that composing a book on predicting the future would be a matter of course. But strangely, as it turned out, this book never began with that intent – let us say that it may well have created itself. Well, to be specific, it all began several years ago after a series of odd dreams, night after night, in which I found myself in confusing, disordered situations that I had trouble resolving. For instance, I’d find myself in a town that I recognized but couldn’t identify. Everything in the dream had an odd familiarity: the house, people and neighborhood. The dreams themselves were similar in context to hypnogogic dreams. One has the sense of knowing where their at and what is going on but when snapping back into full consciousness to make sense of it, the meaningful order of things disappears and you’re left wondering what it was that made these elements so familiar in the first place.

Over all, there was a deeper, mystical component to these dreams. For example, I had a presentiment that darker elements in the dreams were on the horizon. Sensing them coming I sought for greater control over the flow of these dreams. However, key elements related to anticipation and comprehension weren’t coming full circle. Frustrated, it left me searching for a real method of predicting what was about to happen to try to offset the gap between awareness and my inability to resolve the onset of anxiety leading to confusion and panic. To achieve this aim I made a conscious decision before going to sleep to awaken when things started getting bizarre or out of control leading to greater anxiety.

In a nutshell, on a hyper-dimensional level, I sensed that my inner self was encouraging me to spend more time creating a method for forecasting that could be used to foresee the outcome. In fact, my higher awareness was pointing out to me that dreams gathered into predictable cyclic patterns (like plasma energy balls) even though they seemed spontaneous and haphazard. So following the inner prodding of that subconscious mentor, in time I started developing a strong sense of what was coming. Thus, when one of these negative spiral cycles started I could feel that a second and third associative dream would be bound with it in context and quality, so that the eventual outcome thereafter always followed a predictable pattern. Discovering this excited me because it told me that regardless of the disorder we see there is always a deeper order beyond; which makes sense in light of recent research in chaos theory

Unfortunately, the full implications of the foregoing insights didn’t fully sink in at first and it took me a while to understand how the integral order of the dreams was connected. Suffice it to say that for a while the rambling disorder never stopped per se. However, finding distinct signs to look for gave me warnings if I was on the ball and if I took time to act on them to change my course promptly. In some ways, these realizations made things decidedly easier on me to cope with inconsistencies and what heretofore was chaos in the general emotional climate of the dream, plus it enhanced the lucidity of the dream scene more than ever. Nonetheless, the intensity of the dream scenes now and again would pull me in so that I’d forget I was dreaming. But as I’ve intimated, as time went on the strength of the illusion was not as frustratingly hypnotic as in the beginning and I gradually gained conscious awareness of the probable outcome.

One thing that grew out of all this monitoring of my dream content was the realization that the order we experience in life and in a dream are quite similar in context but different in continuity. This is an important feature. In physical life the order we see around us appears outwardly fixed, entrenched in a kind of rational continuity beginning with a past-present and a future course. We don’t quite perceive its inner structure or its emotional content or our deep immersion in its outcome.

For example, on the surface of physical reality, emotions appear to follow or come after the experience we conceive to be the straight line series of events that comprise reality. In other words, we experience an event and react emotionally to it, and not vice versa. Thus from the onset of the event, emotions follow accordingly so that the two, event and emotions, appear within a cause-effect context. But this is not true of the order of dreams. In a dream, I discovered, emotion precedes and thoroughly pervades the event elements that arise. If there is fear, everything is pervaded with anxiety a foreboding expectation of dread. Now this is a really big element to bear in mind, because it showed me that there is a way to predict the order which follows. Heretofore I failed to see the link that binds them. Dreams follow an order derived from pure emotion, while emotions in life, on the other hand, appeared to organize after an event in the physical world; i.e. a baby anxiously cries when his mother leaves the room, not before.

At this point in my growing consciousness of the inner nature of dreams another fascinating insight unfolded. I began to get what I consider to be a deeper illumination of the nature of reality in general. This discovery told me that not only are emotional contents in dreams time sensitive, but are responsible for the flow of events that arise, which is incredibly important in predicting and controlling upcoming events. This realization teaches us that emotions, memory and order are allied. It also means that the order by which reality flows in a timely sense is ruled by an emotional governor, shall we say. Think of this governor as a mechanism that controls the orderly flow of water, gas or electricity.

With this tool you can discern not only the emotional content but you can also predict the associational symbols in terms of memories that link the order together in time. Not surprisingly, emotion can appear long before the actual dream event or it can come simultaneously, appearing to arise spontaneously out of it. In short, emotion could be said to give birth to order, which reminds us of the Greek creation myth. In this myth there was first nothing but Erebus, the place where nothingness and death dwelled, than suddenly, out of the void erupted the powerful unifying emotion we call love and from that the whole world was given form. Clearly, the source of this Greek myth must have come after much contemplation of the dream nature of reality.

Looked upon allegorically, the myth paralleled my realization. Emotions are the prelude of all-that-is to the creation of life and order. Thus to the world-oriented perspective of a worldly being, life might appear to have evolved from nothing simply because an individual failed to see the deeper emotional associations which binds it meaningfully together. Hence, it would be difficult for people steeped in linear processing to comprehend that order grew out of feeling, or to sense the covert emotional power of love. However, if we explore our dreams they unerringly lead us back to the roots of emotions which predate order.

We must remember that dreams are emotional eruptions precipitated from deep changes occurring at creative, wave levels of the psyche. For the most part these eruptions resemble turbulent weather conditions; hence we are moved to examine their symbolic content since in appearance they seem unpredictable, spontaneous, tempestuous even bizarre and surreal. It is not surprising that great dream analysts such as Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud were people who spoke of the unconscious as if it were a Pandora’s Box. Yet these two have been considered two of the leading authorities on dream interpretation. In my opinion, what is most important about their works is they discovered that emotions transcend the dream event to connect us to bigger pictures beyond the linear order of life. It is by way of a dreams transcendental qualities i.e., their ability to unite us to bigger pictures, that the foundations for a forecasting spiral system emerged. For truly it is at these deeper levels of the psyche, where we connect to greater wholes, that we are able to transcend the present and unite with myriad points outside linear time.

It is because of this transcendental quality found at deeper levels, that I am led to say that creativity drives from primary emotion, the primary nature of which is love. From it all other emotions are generated. Perhaps, in a metaphysical sense life, the growth of order and its development into ongoing collective systems of wholeness are acts of pure intent meant to heal the fragmentation of the mortal world. Thus all manner of creation and the emotions generated could be said to lead back to primary emotion. Therefore, it follows, if we wish to get back to the primary sense of unity, which was pure love and its wholeness without separation from source, one must transcend thought, form and the emotional fragmentation of the world.

Following the spiral path we return via the central link which holds us together – the emotional track. It’s as though we are constantly being reminded to trust in that Oneness, which is the essence of the precognitive glue that unites everyone and everything beyond ‘words and letters.’ Indeed, it guides us by non-verbal intent. We look for meaning, but we mistake it for the intellectuality of the left brain and the order we see in the physical world, not realizing that it is something far grander and more binding. In fact, its source lies totally outside the domain of the intellect which can only point, as it were, toward it. In dreams we return to this field of Oneness to witness its immense panorama beyond relative time. It is my contention that this is why dreams have the power to reveal the future. A heavenly instrument bearing all tonal qualities of sensitivity to the subtlest vibrations, it unequivocably feels and responds to every mood.

Waking up from a nightmarish dream, for instance, one can feel loaded with impending portents of the future arising like a sinister warning from your shadow self to check your windows and doors for an interloper. Tingling with apprehension, you sense the need to pay close attention to the dark emotional context and symbolism in which the symbols are steeped. When this occurs it strikes a familiar dire chord with a specific tonal frequency. In essence the dreadful tone is like a musical whole note. It shakes you to the core because the quality of the emotional content warns you that a different kind of order is about to take place or actually occurring at that moment. The sense is that something potentially dreadful and quite outside the norm is ominous. The tone of the note serves to awaken and/or catalyze every level of the organism into action, from forebrain to immune system. The quality of the note hearkens to a meaningful order that includes yet transcends the symbolic content of the dream, and it is to its integral prophetic quality that the heart or inner self resonates.

There are many symbols loaded with a wide range of emotional content that summon our attention. From highly positive, exalted feelings of joy to the lowest depression, dreams are filled with a wide gamut of timely albeit symbolic premonitions that mark the prelude to hope or the somber, gothic forebodings of looming failure. Like angelic messengers they transcend our present and remind us that the future has already arrived and is waiting our beck and call, should we become conscious of their promptings. When a feeling of horror dominates our dreams we see anxiety symbols, such as attempting to escape from some looming, unseen danger. The aura of the dream pursues us. These dreams warn us that of our vulnerability, suggesting that the way ahead is perilous and we must stay alert. Therefore, if we are wise we learn to pay attention to their emotive and symbolic cadence. Being receptive to these other-worldly messages (often referred to as angelic) that guide us in our dreams can spare us the mistakes of the less fortuitously forewarned.

For example: recently, in a dream I found myself immersed in a aura of disorientation. I was in a strange city looking for a grocery store. I stopped when I saw one, but realizing it was late at night and closed, I furtively began looking elsewhere. Eventually, I found one but it was (not surprisingly) far off the beaten path, so to speak. This fact heightened my uneasiness since I really didn’t’ feel comfortable in this strange, mysterious environment. Recall, if you will, the foreboding, apprehensive tone created by the background Dolby sound in a movie?

Remember how it made you tense and fearful of what was around the next corner? As soon the tone deepened you knew something is awry long before it occurs. In a similar manner the aura in the dream deepened in tonal quality inciting me to proceed with greater caution. To offset the quality of this negative tone I stopped momentarily to check out a lottery machine. Wondering what dire event might lay ahead as I neared the check-out counter, fumbled for my wallet. Predictably, it was empty except for a credit card, something I used rarely. Realizing I should get on with my purchase and get home, I quickly walked over to the produce counter and ran into – you guessed it - another dilemma: there weren’t any vegetables. Negative order followed negative emotion leading to the production of negative outcomes. But I still wasn’t discovering the deeper Whole outside the events that brought all this about. What could it be?

Now honestly, by that time the discovery that negative events follow a trail of negative emotions was no longer surprising. In fact, it made me acutely aware (and uncomfortable) that something wasn’t right elsewhere and to take caution. Clearly, the dream suggests that each block of events which arises symbolically exhibits frequencies hidden in the general emotional ‘expectation aura’ of the dream. Each event is resonantly connected via vibrational context.

Perhaps reluctant to give up my precious sleep time but a little fearful that I discover something else awry, I decided to forego my shopping and quickly left; again, only to discover my car wasn’t where I’d parked it. Failure to find my car happened in numerous dreams before this dream and as I recall, the general aura was essentially the same. There was one big difference this time: I was beginning to anticipate the order and events which were about to arise. Extending this reasoning to wakefulness one can extrapolate that the order of the events in our lives, undoubtedly, have much to do with this same principle. But as I have said, for the most part we fail to see the underlying wave unless it visibly repeats itself. As I said in the dream emotions precede events whereas in waking life, emotions appear to follow. Now we can surmise that this is not altogether true of wakefulness. Deeper scrutiny is needed to see beyond the illusion.

Going back to the dream, physical time reasoning interfered with my feelings and I wrongly surmised the car was stolen and the added fear amplified its emotional content adding to the probability of loss. However, this made another anxiety warning bell go off in my brain which automatically led to the heightened lucidity that told me I was in a negative emotive dream. To test my intuited impression that additional problems lay ahead, I immediately began concentrating on awakening. That’s when I panicked. I couldn’t seem to awake! Failing to awaken on command had always unnerved me. Still in my head I kept asserting that I must awaken. Something prodded me to struggle mightily. Finally, but with great effort, I did wake up and boy was I glad of it. Going downstairs to look around I heard a noise outside and was alarmed to see several prowlers near our home. I called the police immediately avoiding a potential intrusion.

Lying back down, I began to think over this dream and what it was telling me. Clearly, the dream was a portent (perhaps on many different levels) and broadcasted several messages: a) emotional content was dark, b) the order I normally associated with my everyday reality was awry, and c) that to avoid it I must wake up. Perhaps, the need to awaken (gain illumination) is essentially where Eastern teaching is leading us, i.e., beyond the limiting myopia of our worldly involvement into the deeper meaning beyond. In other words, the dreams impending emotional symbolic contents were pointing out that I must promptly awaken to avert a disaster.

It dawned on me that this guidance came as if from a wiser, higher mind that saw the order behind the chaos and intuitively deciphered the symbols. It was my conscious self that interfered. One thing was strikingly clear: one must give closer attention to the counseling in dreams for they are warnings from a higher consciousness. Indeed, such omens could conceivably reduce and eliminate potential problems ahead. Clearly omens of potentially drastic events are conveyed through a dreams emotional content. The dream warns us by the quality of its emotional aura of upcoming events. In fact, these events cluster around the growing snowball of positive or negative symbols encountered as the dream unfolds. Such symbols are strung together as if on a string through a series of correlative frequencies linking picture data into growing fields that manifest as events. The fields grow out of the emotional content by tonal quality and serve as omens that have powerful forecasting portent. Thus in my dream, detection of the intruders was prevented by paying attention to the dreams strong emotional undertone. This fact implies that the power of the glue which holds the dream together lies in its tonal frequency. Hence, taken as a whole, the dream unites the symbols together into a meaningful scenario, like jigsaw pieces in an emerging picture puzzle.

Clearly, at a deeper level an invisible field directed my activities and served as a guide that repeatedly activated my conscious attention through the emotional content underlying the dream. The outcome reveals an over-arching, combinatory spiral field which unites the scenes into clusters to create a meaningful order that can be read by the enlightened mind. I like to think of it as the supra-conscious seer of anticipation. I recognize it as a protector source, similar in context to preternatural guidance. It told me in no uncertain words that what I was experiencing could be anticipated by recognizing: a) the frequency of the emotional content and b) recognizing that the emotional content was clustered together into a series of meaningfully related events. Moreover, it informed me that the whole scenario of the dream was connected through an underlying emotional field. Some people who relate best to the audio sense might think of this field as the still, small voice, and indeed, on a non-physical level it presents itself through tonal quality. In the physical world it is this tonal quality, which in this book, will be seen as the glue that assembles events like a rolling snowball.

Suffice it to say that the voice in my dream advised me in no uncertain ways that the structure of the life like the dream, could be controlled or altered if I chose to transcend it by immediately awakening to its content. This is important because undoubtedly the deeper field acts as an ongoing guide spiraling out from a central self. Moreover, it produces small ‘tipping point’ signs of its presence everywhere that when triggered are quite useful in illumining the path ahead should we choose to pay attention to the warnings and then make a conscious effort to either a) stay our course, or b) or change it.

Despite availability in advance to these obvious choices most people become fascinated with their immersion in the physical illusion and hence become hopelessly victimized by the material blind spot in their perceptual angle of observation. At those times they often, and quite naively, choose to believe that what they encounter is the way it appears and hence, cannot be changed. When that occurs many people believe they are hopelessly blocked and often give up. But this is not altogether their faults for they are reflecting the collective beliefs prevalent in our times.

One must remember we live a collective, contemporary world in which brilliant but linear-thinking scientists like Stephan Hawking are fooled by the illusion that the cause-effect world is all there is. Beyond appearances lays a field that allows us to transcend the present and predict the future. However currently, linear thinkers have become the new priests and the belief in the limitations of the present is all the rage. Blinded by this illusion they have adopted chaos and random chance as the rule leaving the common folk feeling helpless in the grip of what they contend is a fixed, unchangeable reality. But as I have suggested, this is not the case, reality is not rigidly fixed, but governed by a predictive awareness that is built into its very fabric.

In review: think about my example: In my dream, even before the warning bell went off in my head, I knew something was amiss. How did I know? I knew it because I sensed the underlying aura that created each following dream scene. Deep beneath the fragmented spontaneity of reality lies another kind of whole where inner self and physical world merge beyond the illusion of time and space. Einstein recognized it and called it the CONTINUUM. The strangest part of this emergence into order is that they begin with unlimited probabilities which reduce, according to the content of our dream, down to one single stream of events that often appear disjointed. However, when things start to get cockeyed in a dream remember: (as in your life) endless streams of events converge from a central stream and the supra-conscious mind strives to awaken us to calm our anxieties.

In life it tends to fill in all the inconsistencies while still triggering one warning red light after another. Sensing the inconsistencies one must become alerted. For example by: a) negative feelings that seem to pervade every scene, b) suddenly finding yourself in a strange city or strange neighborhood, c) when situations seem to mock you, d) when you search fruitlessly for something you know should be there - but it isn’t. These scenes are a RED LIGHT. The red light was especially bright when looking for my car (a personal symbol) and not finding it. All these steps are warning elements. Like tiny snowballs clustering into powerful avalanches, each event is bound to another through resonance. As such they are omens or signals from a deeper wave with many signs along the way.

Correspondingly, life might appear as a disjointed, wacky dream, yet it is full of warning signs that originate from bigger pictures beyond. In the flesh causality only appears to be restricted to cause-effect order and we tend to assume order is something we cannot get around - even when our premonitions suggest otherwise. In the flesh of order everything appears to have a place and time. Anything in or out of that order we are taught to ignore. Yet signals arise as an omen or warning that we must learn to recognize.
