Why the People Who Seem Lucky Are Really Just Tuned Into a Frequency You Keep Ignoring
It’s a black car. No, it’s a black truck. I can see it.
I was waiting patiently, the way any husband learns to wait, as my wife needed just ten more minutes to get out the door for dinner. What is this prep time they need? I will never understand it. I gave up trying to understand it years ago. But finally I got the signal. The “let’s go.” And we jumped in the car and pulled onto the main road heading out for dinner.
Still Googling your marketing problems? Just ask me.
About half a mile from the restaurant, I’m doing what I always do. I’m mentally scanning the parking lot ahead of us before we can even see it. And this quick flash hits me. It’s not a thought. It’s not a guess. It’s something from some third dimension that just washes over me in a wave, and in that wave I see a black truck. I tell my wife. It’s black. It’s a black truck. The space is right next to it. She nods because she’s been through this before. She knows the drill.
As we get closer to the restaurant, we see another car pulling into the parking lot a couple hundred yards ahead of us. I go, “They better not be taking that spot.” And sure enough, we pull in and the only available space in the entire lot is behind a black Ram truck, and the person who just jumped in ahead of us is sliding right into it. If she hadn’t needed that extra prep time, we’d be parked and walking in already. But that’s life, and that’s not the point.
The point is that this kind of thing happens to me all the time. These moments are almost common now. I can literally see things ahead of time. Not as some grand cinematic vision. Just a flash. Quick and sharp. But it’s there. And it happens so often that my wife has started asking me to find other things, including picking the lotto numbers. I told her that’s not what this is for. It’s not something I can control. It’s not something I can aim like a flashlight at whatever I want. I can’t just say, “Oh, let me predict the future real quick.” But it has happened so many times with so many different things that it goes beyond discussion at this point. It’s not even a debate about whether it’s real or not. It just is. I can just do it. I get this particular wave that quickly rushes over me with a vision, and I can see into the future just enough to know something before it happens.
And I can understand now why the mentalists of the world, people like Edgar Cayce, found it so hard to explain this to people who had never felt it. If you don’t know who Edgar Cayce is, he was able to work with people by predicting their health concerns in advance and solving problems for them before they fully materialized. It’s quite a fascinating read if you ever get the chance. He also made much bigger predictions about the future, a lot further reaching than just trying to find a parking spot. He even proclaimed that 2026, this very year, would bring a massive wealth change, predicting some sort of shift in how the monetary system is impacted at some point. But predictions and the philosophy around mentalists is a whole other conversation for a whole other day.
What it does bring up is the idea of predestination. Is there already a future that exists, and we’re just walking into it? And this opens the door to quantum science, where the use of waves of predictability to process faster bits in superposition is a way to arrive at an answer faster than anything we’ve ever built before. All of it is fascinating. And all of it synthesizes into the work of David Deutsch and his Multiverse theory. There’s another name for you to look up if you’re interested in thinking about why things in this world seem to be connected in ways we can’t fully explain.
But here’s the real point of the story.
It’s nine o’clock in the morning. I’m sitting down to write this very entry, and my phone buzzes with a text from my drummer. “Good show last night.” And the whole point of this journal entry, the reason I sat down to write about anticipation waves in the first place, was because the very next sentence I was going to put on paper was about him. His text arrived at the exact moment I was about to write about my experience foretelling his future yesterday. If that’s not a connection worth paying attention to, I don’t know what is.
Yesterday I predicted my drummer was going to be late. Not because I’m negative. Not because I don’t trust him. Because I could see it. The wave came in, and I adjusted. I pulled three power bars from my backpack in anticipation of knowing he’d also be hungry. I brought all the drums with me to the gig, every single piece, after he had assured me up and down that he’d be fine and that he could supply everything. “Just bring the shells,” he told me. Thirty minutes before the gig I get a text from him that says, “I’ll be there in twelve minutes.” Rushing in like I saw it. He sat down and played. I handed him the power bars because I knew he’d need them. And the show went on and it was a wonderful experience.
Here’s where it gets even better. Two days before the gig, my bass player called me in an absolute panic. He’s convinced this is going to be a disaster. He’s saying we’re never going to be able to play this venue again because the drummer is going to be late and we’ll have a twelve thirty start instead of a twelve o’clock start. I listened. I understood the concern. But I had already run the future in my mind. I had already created what I wanted to see. I had already sent out the anticipation wave I wanted carried out in the multiverse. I knew it was going to be a good show. I could see it. The pattern was recognized, and I adjusted accordingly.
The fact that my drummer texted me at the exact moment I was putting pen to paper about him is just another connection in a long line of connections that keep showing up when you start paying attention to the waves.
How often does this kind of quantum thinking happen to you? My guess is more than you realize.
Lesson Learned
The future isn’t something that just happens to you. It’s something you can start to feel before it arrives, if you’re willing to pay attention. Most people walk through life reacting to whatever shows up. But there’s another way. When you start recognizing the patterns, when you start trusting the flashes and the waves that wash over you in quiet moments, you can begin to prepare for what’s coming instead of scrambling to respond after it lands. This isn’t about controlling the future. It’s about tuning into it. It’s about reading the room before you walk into it.
The parking spot, the late drummer, the panic from a bandmate, they’re all just data points in a stream of information that’s always flowing. The people who seem to have an edge in life aren’t necessarily smarter or luckier. They’ve just learned to feel the wave before it breaks and position themselves accordingly. You can do the same thing. Start paying attention to the flashes. Stop dismissing the little moments of knowing. Trust the signal. Because the future is always sending you messages. The only question is whether you’re tuned in enough to receive them.
