Many people wonder why I don’t do any “predictive” forecasts. That is because I believe that “predictions” do not really work for anyone who is on a true self-evolving or spiritual path.
 
Now let’s see, if someone had a very keen sense of observation and/or some innate ability to read another person’s mind (psychic) even then at best they could accurately narrate your past. But future- well that is completely another ball game! It has yet to happen- so how can anyone guess it??
​
Even Quantum Science and other theories suggest that there are definitely energy-potentialities that surround us. These energies do shape how and what we experience, but unless one is to “observe” it- the outcome is “undecided”. I.e. if you are not there experiencing it, then what outcome you “could have” experienced cannot be determined.

Then what about all those wonderful psychics and other folks who seem to do a perfect job of “predicting events”? Well to explain this- let us consider an example: let’s say you grab some takeout food from a nearby diner. Now let’s say, this place serves fresh foods cooked with healthy ingredients (I know it's hard to imagine that with a typical diner… but still try :-)).

So, you eat this meal- now, is it difficult to predict that you will feel good, your body will receive good nutrition etc.? Not really- since you performed the actions, which increased the probability of that outcome from myriad other possibilities. BUT now let’s suppose this diner does not serve good food and/or you are a celiac and ended up eating something with gluten in it- now again, is it difficult to predict the outcome? Not at all- since your actions (however consciously conducted or not) somewhere determined what the outcome will be in that scenario.
 
Ofcourse life is even more complicated than our simple takeout dinner example. In our simple example, we are not considering other folks and your ongoing interaction with them or the uniqueness of your own body and health. But even with this example it is fairly evident that our actions do in a strong way determine what can happen in any given situation. This is not only a Quantum Scientific fact but also the basis of Karma Theory.
​
Now- repeated and past karmic patterns (still called karma in the west, though the correct term is samskaras) do have their influence and because of this some outcomes are “always more probable” than some others. Why just psychics, but even good trend-evaluators do such “predictive forecasts” each week- from a person’s future, to what can be expected within an industry, the financial markets and sometimes even within a particular geographical location like a city, town or a country!
 
But think for a second- as a conscious evolving person, would you rather fatalistically accept an outcome or would you rather understand the energies that are underlying any given scenario- be it your own life or the collective consciousness. When you understand the energies that are effective in any particular day or at any particular time, it gives you a good premise to work with.
 
Seeds sown in the dead of winter are doomed to not flower, while seeds sown during spring and cared for with proper light and nutrition are bound to thrive- similarly our actions when they are in accordance with the general premise as well as incorporates self-evaluation and self-evolution through learning our own individual lessons, we rise ourselves above any typically fated outcomes. This way we allow ourselves to live not only as our highest selves but also as truly conscious living beings.
 
Creating our highest self each day by constantly evolving ourselves into our own higher version.

​In ancient times, divination was used as a way to understand what kind of energies surrounded a certain situation. Almost like the current day weather report! As we know all days are not the same. Certain days just seem to go smooth where things seem to flow in a nice manner and there are other days where getting even the simplest thing done seems like a big achievement! 

So now, if we knew about these energies, then we could better plan our day and conduct activities which are best suited those times- i.e. those activities where we can accomplish the most if conducted during those times.

It is important to note that  we live in a dynamic and living Universe, which responds to our actions and accordingly brings situations and transformations in our life! 

Because of this, it is nice to utilize these various oracle and divination techniques to find out about the energies surrounding a situation, BUT do not try to   find about the future as an outcome, since the future-outcome is something that will reveal itself in due time. Our  job is to do our best  in any given situation and utilize the various tools  (including divination) towards it.

​Rune Oracle is one of the ancient oracle divination methods. 

Before the Germanic peoples of ancient Western Europe possessed a true alphabet, they used pictorial symbols to carve into stones, all their thoughts and ideas. These glyphs were called Runes, from the Gothic Runa, meaning 'a secret thing, a mystery.' 

Runes have been utilized for a long time as a way to tap into one’s own psyche for spiritual evolution and also as a divination tool. 

Way to access the oracle:
One can ask a question while holding a pouch of runes and then pick out the one which feels ‘right' and interpret the answer.

Ji Won casually asked Juma, “are you able to look into the future?”

Juma said, “well, we all have certain intuitive abilities. The more one is in-sync with the natural energy, that much more we can determine events, particularly if they are supposed to occur in the near future. Why do you ask?”

Ji Won answered, “we have these oracle cards and sticks in Korea. I have always questioned how good they really are at predicting future events. So, I wondered if you knew anything about it.”
​
Juma smiled and got up. She motioned Ji Won to follow. She went into her study and opened one of the side cabinets. Ji Won looked inside and thought, ‘there must be atleast forty or maybe fifty boxes of various Oracle divination decks.’ She looked at Ji Won with a twinkle in her eyes and said, “pick one of them, whichever appeals to you and I will show you something cool…” Saying this she went back to the living room, leaving Ji Won alone with the oracle divination decks.

Ji Won looked thru them. They had all kinds of titles and artwork. Some were claiming to be from ancient civilizations, some had fantasy art and some others had picturesque nature images. Finally, he selected one that had a picture of horse on its box cover and brought it with him to the living room. Ji Won liked horses. He was fascinated by them.

Juma was waiting for him at the table and Ji Won joined her. He offered her the box. Juma shook her head saying, “no no... I don’t need it. You are going to do something fun.” Ji Won looked skeptically at her and settled down at the table and started inspecting that oracle deck.

Finally, when Ji Won looked up, Juma said, “now, is there something in the near future that you would like to know about?” Ji Won quickly answered, “ofcourse! How my new drama series will do! As you know Park Areum committed suicide. Considering it is a light Romantic Comedy, we are all worried as to how people will receive our series… In fact, I try not to think about it. Every time I do, I can feel my blood pressure rising!” Ji Won’s countenance changed. His worries and concern were obvious from his facial expression and rapid speech.

Juma said, “okay. So, ask the deck-oracle to show you the most potential public-response outcome for your upcoming drama series. After this, start shuffling the cards. When you feel an inner voice saying ‘stop’, then stop shuffling, cut the deck, keep the top part of the deck on the side and then pick the first card from the stack still in your hand. Got it?”

“Yes.” Ji Won said and started shuffling the cards. He then cut the deck and picked up the top card from the cards remaining in his hand. It said, ‘Small influences. Can gain momentum.’ It did not look too good. Ji Won felt even more upset. He looked up and saw Juma smiling. He gave her a perplexed look.

She said, “what you were experiencing, the card you received and how you are now feeling are all very typical… but before I say anything about it. Let us do one more thing.” Saying this, she motioned for Ji Won to keep the deck aside. Then she asked him, “obviously you want your series to be very successful. But what does success look like with these series?”

Ji Won answered, “the weekly ratings report… all the media speaking about it being such a great entertainment… many interview requests… brands approaching for product promotion… I mean, there are just so many things that follow…” Before Ji Won could complete, Juma said, “good. Now, close your eyes and breathe deep.” Ji Won did as she suggested. “Now, visualize your series being a super duper hit. How everyone is appreciating the series, how they are appreciating your work, how you are being approached by brands and so on…”

​Juma waited while Ji Won took a few minutes to visualize the success of his upcoming series. His entire countenance visibly relaxed. Juma said, ‘whenever you feel calm and centered about this visualization, then open up your eyes.” After a couple of minutes or so, Ji Won opened his eyes. He looked relaxed and he was smiling. He asked Juma, “now what?”

Juma pointed to the oracle deck and said, "please put all the cards together, shuffle them, ask the same question about how your drama series will do, then cut the deck and pick up the top card from the cards remaining in your hand. Everything just like last time. Okay?”

Ji Won shuffled the cards, cut the deck, and picked up the top card from the stash in his hand. It said, ‘Supreme success is assured to the one who does the needful work.” He was shocked. He looked at Juma and said how is that possible?

Juma smiled and said, “this is the power of the human energy field. We have the capability to change our life experiences by what we project into the world. It is called as the ‘Law of Attraction’, but unfortunately, many a times people think of this Universal law to simply mean- wish or think about an outcome. It is not just about wishing or thinking, it is about truly modifying our energy field to indicate what it is that we desire and then let the Universal law do its work… to attract your desired objective to you.”

Ji Won thought about it for a few minutes and said, “if that is the case, then are all these Oracle decks useless? Why do you have so many of them?”

Juma replied, “Oracle decks are not useless at all. In fact, they can come in quite handy when we utilize them in a sensible manner. You probably did not realize how your ‘worry energy field’ was attracting that not-so-pleasant outcome, did you?

“So, if you were back home and were wondering about how something will pan out, then giving a quick shuffle and looking into a potential outcome would have been a nice idea. But it is important to remember that it is a potential outcome. It is always a potential outcome. Because no one can predict the future. Future will show itself at its perfect time, as the now of that moment- it is not for us to worry or wonder about.
​
“Our job is to do the best that we can in any given situation, at any given time. With that in mind, when we find that a potential outcome is not as per our liking, then we can modify our approach, action and so on to ensure a favorable outcome. See what I mean? Till we utilize the information we receive from these oracle decks and other divination ‘predictions’ to better our effort, then they can be great life-tools. In fact, they originally were always intended to be just that. Unfortunately, over the years, human greed and dogmatic behavior have turned them into questionable practices!

The Bhagavad Gita shlokas are time immemorial!! The Bhagavad Gita, which is also called as the Song Divine is an extremely special Vedic (Hindu) spiritual text as it is a direct teaching by one of the cosmic avatars- Lord Krishna. 
​
The Bhagavad Gita can be queried like an oracle to obtain answers for pressing questions. I.e. we can “divine” the meaning of situations and make predictive forecasts and/or indicate energies that surround a given situation.   

The received answer, which is a shloka (or verse) from the text, can be guiding or predictive, depending on the question and deciphering ability of the person asking that question. 

Way to access the oracle:
Ask your question and ask Lord Krishna for guidance, then open The Bhagavad Gita and see which shloka on the page facing you, ‘calls’ to you. Then read the details of that shloka. It will provide you immediate guidance or directive for your question or situation.

Next, reflect on the above shloka and see what specific meanings come up for you. What are some interpretations that resonate with you. Reflect on how you can extrapolate the meaning and utilize its added guidance for your current life situation.

Flowers have been used since time immemorial to convey emotions and feelings. There are different flowers for each occasion. 
​
In fact, during Victorian times, there was a fully developed ‘language of flowers’ which was used to convey secret messages. Also, as we know, in the Vedic tradition, specific flowers are offered to a particular deity or during a specific prayer offering.

​So, basically there have always been specific meanings associated with the Flowers. 

In addition, flowers have also been utilized for a long time as an Oracle- i.e. as a way to tap into one’s own psyche for spiritual evolution and also as a divination tool.

Option 1:
You could ask a question and then see which flower comes to you in your mind’s eye as an answer for your question.

Option 2:
The other option is to write a name of a flower on an index card and then shuffle these bunch of cards. You could then ask a question and then pick out a card which ‘feels’ right for you.
 
Then you can look up the meaning associated with the flower you received as bearing the answer to your question.

You can check the Flower Messages category for description of several flowers that are typically used in Flower Divination.

Pine trees have varied cultural signification in different parts of the world. Mention of these trees have been found in the bible and other ancient texts, reinforcing their symbolic importance throughout various cultural and religious beliefs. 
​
The lush evergreen pine trees are known to last even through the icy cold temperatures. They produce pinecones which in turn produce the pine nuts which provide a variety of nutrition and is part of many staple recipes of ancient traditions. Do note that the spiritual significance for Pine Trees, is different than for the Pinecones.

So, coming back to pine trees, we find that in some cultures like the Native American cultures, pine trees represent wisdom and longevity. In some of the other cultures, they represent fertility and life. Pine trees are also known as the symbol of peace and of eternal love. 

The fresh pine scent is known to invigorate us and simply hugging or being in the vicinity of a pine tree or walking thru a pine forest, is believed to increase our intake of prana (or Chi, Ki) life-force energy.
​
One of the famous Pagan tradition, where people used to decorate the pine or fir trees with decorations to celebrate the birth of the Norse God- Frey, at the end of the year, is incorporated in the modern-day celebration of Christmas; where we typically decorate the pine or fir trees to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

So, if you receive the pine tree as a message from nature, then it indicates that you are getting ready for new starts. New meetings and relationships will be fruitful. Whatever you start now or any new relationships you now develop (or revive existing relationships), then they will have a sense of permanence to them.

Good health, strong vitality, and the ability to regenerate oneself and work one’s way through tough times and emerge a winner are all signified by the evergreen pine trees.

Eternal love and overall goodness are promised when one receives pine tree as a nature message.

Pomegranate has been associated with spiritual significance and natural messages since biblical times... probably from even before that!! The lush pinkish-red insides of the fruit compare very well with blood- that which carries the very life-force (Prana, Chi or Ki) in our body.

​Blood has been associated with power and sacrifice since time immemorial and so it is not very surprising that pomegranate, a fruit that resembles the color of blood and also the inner cells of our body- with its unique inner construction- has many spiritual and esoteric associations!

Pomegranate is one of the healthiest fruits that one can eat. In addition, it has many powerful antioxidants as well as the required necessary nutrients and hormones to improve sperm quality and libido.  In this regard, the pomegranate fruit works as a potent aphrodisiac! 

Not to mention the lush and colorful insides of the pomegranate fruit, which are filled with multitude of individual seeds- reminds one of the abilities of ‘a seed’ to re-grow and re-generate. Throughout several olden cultures, pomegranate has been associated with fertility, eternal life, and love. It is also believed to indicate resurrection- i.e., rejuvenation of life (after death).
​
Because of this, the pomegranate fruit has long been associated with richness and fertility.  In addition, given the many health benefits of the pomegranate fruit, it signifies overall good health and vitality. 

So, if you receive the pomegranate fruit or the pomegranate tree as a message from nature, then they indicate love, romance, good health, and wealth- the entire complete package of happiness and wellbeing.
