Your future self provides one of the most valuable forms of feedback you can receive.

If your future self is able to connect with you in consciousness, this is proof you are taking steps in your present moment to develop a wise and advanced future "you."

This future “you” is able to offer guidance and reassurance that the steps you are taking in your present moment are aligned with your spiritual purpose. In this way, your future self is a wise
source of comfort and assurance.

In addition to providing important feedback, your future self is able to bring you information and guidance for your present moment. Much of this information arrives in the form of "channeled" information.

Channeled information is received into your consciousness as "energetic downloads" that your conscious mind over time learns to translate into words, images, concepts and inventions.

You may experience these downloads as moments of sudden insight and inspiration, or as the arrival of previously unknown information into your consciousness.

This information may arrive through different “channels,” including automatic writing, conscious or unconscious verbal “trance” channeling visionary art and energy healing. These are just a few ways in which you might experience these downloads.

Those who receive channeled information often identify the source of the material as coming from beyond themselves. However, in many cases, channeled information arrives in one's consciousness as the direct result of bringing one's energetic vibration into resonance with an advanced future aspect of one’s being.

This communion with your future self might take place on the subconscious level - or if your conscious mind and that of your future self are aware and awake, you will both consciously recognize the exchange that is taking place.

It is important to note that these downloads and exchanges can take place whether you are consciously aware of them are not.

If your conscious mind or ego is firmly in control, it will claim credit for the ideas and information you receive from your other "selves." If your ego believes itself to be limited in terms of its capabilities, it may choose to identify this channeled information as coming from an entity or being totally outside the self.

If your ego is in a state of surrender to your spiritual purpose, it will humbly recognize the guidance and assistance it receives from other aspects of your being.

Your Future Self and the Akashic Records

One of the gifts you can receive through conscious communion with your future self is greater access to the "future Akashics."

The Akashic Records are the etheric library that houses knowledge of all that ever has been or will be. This library contains all events and responses concerning consciousness in all realities that exist within the universe.

Whenever you align with aspects of your self that exist in other locations within the time/space continuum, you become more powerfully focused in consciousness.

This powerful focus allows greater access to the knowledge contained within the Universal or Cosmic Mind. It is this access to the records of all time that make clairvoyance and all forms of psychic perception possible.

Your Future Self Holds the Key to Your Life Purpose

Your future self holds the "roadmap" for the path of spiritual development that stretches before you.

By tuning into your own future consciousness, you are able to download this map, which provides you with the next step on your spiritual path.

This self can help you see how events unfolding in your present moment are helping you grow and expand. Because your future self has already traveled the stretch of life experience you are presently traveling, it can help you better understand your life purpose as it is unfolding within your present moment even though they may feel challenging and difficult at the moment.

As a wise guide and mentor, your future self can help guide you to each new step on your journey of becoming. It can help you attune to the higher vision of each person, event and situation that arrives in your life.
