Visions – What Causes Them?

What causes visions? We cause them.

Visions can come in many different forms, they are not daydreams, which we usually control in some way. A vision can literally sweep a person off their feet if they are strong enough, and the person cannot control what s/he is seeing. Daydreams usually happen when we need a distraction from something around us. The daydream might be firmly based in our belief system, while a powerful vision can shatter what we think we ‘know’.

Some visions are of events in the past, some show us things happening today, others are about the future – or possible futures, since nothing is truly fixed in that direction, IMO. Sometimes a vision happens because we are in the right place at the right time, and history repeats itself ‘before our eyes’, or in our minds. Sometimes it is a flash of insight in the form of a picture, or word, or sentence, or numbers, that might answer an unspoken question, and Sometimes it can be a whole short film. 🙂

With past life memories people reach a certain age, where an event from the far past has an impact on what they are learning today, and rather than understanding this subconsciously, as we do most of the time, we actually ‘relive’, in some small way, the particular event, or the emotions related to it. We might find ourselves angry at someone, and suddenly get a glimpse of a lifetime where we were equally angry at that person, but we were playing different roles for each other at the time (even reverse roles). This is to aid in our understanding of the events, so that we can choose a more productive path, perhaps a more forgiving one. We might feel a sense of deja vu?

It is us that become attuned to visions, or that make the choice to be able to receive them, before we come into each human lifetime. It might also happen after a person has an accident and injuries their brain – but, again, was it an genuine accident, or simply going down a path that we had already chosen to follow? Sometimes we might experience a ‘crisis apparition’, when someone we love is in deep trouble, and although we might not be able to help them, they reach out to us anyway (telepathy), and we see what they see. We might never have another vision in our lives.

Clairvoyant people can use ‘visions’ to help with their readings. Gifts like psychometry, which is being able to ‘read’ the energy from an object, can give the reader visions, or they might simply feel the emotions attached to it in some form.

And then there are ghosts and spirits, who try to influence us, our emotions, by showing us something important to them (ghosts) or to us (spirits). These glimpses too can be seen as visions, but the spirits work for our benefit, the ghosts only for their own.

Visions don’t happen ‘just because’, there is always a reason. We might not understand the reason to begin with, but eventually what we see will be explained.
