You know something? Yes, it comes to you in a flash, or as a result of pondering a situation. You see it and combine your awareness of probable outcomes, intuition and vision to formulate something that will be. All the signs are there. You tell someone what will happen and they blow you off. Or, they laugh and argue that you are only projecting your stuff. How frustrated you must feel!

Well, say hello to the Cassandra syndrome. The story of Troy in ancient Greece is generally known. One of the characters in the original drama is Cassandra, the daughter of the Trojan King Priam. Cassandra had the gift of divination, or prophecy, bestowed upon her by the god Apollo, but with a curse, that her warnings would never be taken for true. She was forced to live a long life accurately foretelling the future but never being believed. Her fate was to helplessly witness people plunging ahead with their folly. After many years, she grew used to being ignored and became a bit crazy.

There are modern day prophets, voices crying in the wilderness, most of them being ignored. There are ex-military officers who have come forward to warn the people of this country that we are losing our democracy to the Military Industrial Complex. There are people who have connections with ET’s who have warned us about the pollutions, the ozone layers, the probable shifts of the poles, the damage to the DNA by our weakened atmosphere. There are mediums, seers and visionaries, all talking, crying out, writing letters, making movies. For the most part they are ignored or not believed. This is the Cassandra syndrome in full bore, going on right now.

Hazard: Many people are intuitive, have precognition, and sometimes prophetic dreams. When these are shared with loved ones, or even strangers, if you expect people to pay attention, you may find disappointment. Even if some person pays for your time and you give your best intuitive information, they may still choose to ignore the advice. Saying “I told you so” brings no joy or satisfaction whatsoever. You may suffer great anguish, wishing there was something more you could do to impart vital information. You may feel like giving up, or pouring yourself another glass of wine. Please remember, dear one, that each person has their own learning curve, their own degree of openness to information. Most of the human race are digging holes in which to bury their heads!

Joyful resolution: I can learn that it is necessary for most people to learn by blundering on the ego level until they themselves become intuitive and choose to change their way. I thank the Creator for foresight and precognition, but do not force my vision on anyone. Meanwhile, I will pay attention to my own vision and act upon it.
