Timing of predictions
Bark angel:
I was reading online and came across this explanation of why timing is so difficult for readers.... I thought it explained it well. What do you think?
--- Quote ---The only problems with this is that timeframes are the most flexible, changeable, and un-cooperative aspect of psychic readings. I personally cannot count the number of times a psychic I trusted has be DEAD ON with the prediction and DEAD WRONG with the timeframe.
It happens to me to. The guides will tell me something that there is no way I could have figured out on my own, and then they give me a timeframe. But the thing happens early, or late, or over a longer or shorter span of time.
I would say better than 80% of the time, psychics who have read for me have been wrong on the exact timeframe. My client's have not told me what my percentage is but I dare say it is something similar.
As a reader, it's discouraging to think that you could be so right (about prediction) but also SO wrong (about time).
So why does this happen?
The simple truth is that time in and of itself is not a constant. First of all, time can be folded and traveled through. Psychics, Reiki Healers, and other gifted individuals not only believe in but also rely on this fact. Want to focus on the future? You're mind can go there because your mind is capable of moving through time. Need to send healing to a past life? No problem, because Reiki energy can move through time. Time itself can be moved through. If a reiki healing can reach back 2000 years, then what makes us think a phone call on Saturday night is set in stone?
But if that is the first problem with timeframes, the second is more complicated. It is this: spirits, for the most part, do not understand/deal with/live inside of time. Many of them, especially angels, have absolutely no concept of chronological time, at all. (Which is why they will pop up to talk to you at 4 am about something that could clearly wait until 8am. lol)
I have actually met spirits who looked completely baffled when I asked 'when will this happen?'. When? What do you mean when? To them, time happens all at the same instant. They are capable of perceiving it all at once, and have no need for time to go straight from beginning to end so they can understand it. So the concept that something must happen at a certain time of day, a certain day of the week, or a certain time of year is foreign to them in the extreme.
Most spirits actually just time by landmark, rather than sequence. In other words: First you will adopt a new dog, then you will get a new job, and after that you will meet the man you marry. At the same time you meet the man you marry you will also finally be over your ex. After that happens, you will conceive your first child. Etc. Etc.
For them, as long as this happens within the span of your lifetimes (plural!) its just fine! So when confronted with a question like 'when will I hear back from that job?' about 50% of the guides I work with will be very reluctant to answer. Some will out right refuse. Others will say 'oh, I guess on Tuesday'. (Well, which tuesday? This one? Next one? Tuesday next year?)
By working with meditation, tools, and guides who are move comfortable with time itself, psychics can get a time estimation that is accurate. However, this brings us to problems number three.
Free will usually (usually, not sometimes) gets in the way of timeframes. Here is the example that my guide explained to me; "Let's say that you plan to call your mom on the way home from work. You tell her you will call around dinner time. You get in your car and head home from work, and discover you are really hungry. So you phone in a pizza. You go pick up your pizza. You stop to talk to the pizza guy. He tells you about this great movie and you think 'hey, I'd LOVE to see that'. So you head over by the theater on your way home to check the times that the movie is on. Oh, it's on later tonight! And they have a coupon for a lower price! You hurry home, eat your pizza quickly, grab your significant other, and head out to the movie. The movie is great, you get done and get home thinking about the superb story. The next morning, on your way to work, you remember you didn't call your mom. Oh No! Mom, I will call you tonight as soon as I'm off work!"
Now, the person in this example did not stop loving their mother. They just made choices that lead to distractions that changed the timing of that phone call.
The same can be said for any other time-centered event in our lives. When will they let you know if you have the job? When they make the free will choice combination that allows them to do it. When will that couple break up? It might be next fight: or it could be that in the next fight she will say 'I'm sorry. I was horrible. Let's not fight anymore.' and they will make up and won't break up for another month or more.
This all begs the question: if timeframes are almost bound to be at least somewhat inaccurate, why bother with psychic readings at all?
Well there are several good reasons that psychic readings can still provide insight. First, it is good to know what will happen, even if you don't know exactly when. Second, psychic readings can help you see what free will paths you can take to lead you to future events faster or slower. Third, a good psychic reading will help you clearly see what is and is not within your power to change.
Plus, I must add in fairness, some timeframes are smack-dab-perfectly accurate.

Thanks for posting this. This lines up with pretty much every article I have read on timeframes from readings. It is very frustrating to have a reader tell you that this is happening shortly and you feel like you are right on the cusp of it happening and then BOOM...back to not seeing it manifest at all and you stand still waiting for it to come to pass.
nikkii:
Thanks for sharing this Bark Angel, it really does drive the point home for me on why asking for a time on things should not be the main focus of a reading.
Bark angel:
Yes, I just experienced that exact situation myself. I had been getting readings from a very trusted psychic of mine for about 6 months. She kept saying something would breakthrough in November 2013. Well. I wait patiently through November and arrange a call with her on the last day of the month...BOOM - not only is there no contact seen now in November - but something has "shifted" and the love interest will now not contact me for about a "year or maybe two"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What???????????
I am heartbroken, to say the least.

I know there are some that have read with Cookie and not liked the read - or not had luck with her predictions, but I do have to give her credit for this.

Of all the psychics that I read with that are willing to offer timing of some sort or another only Cookie gives it as in the quote above...she rarely says "it will happen in X months". More often than not in my readings with Cookie, she says "I will tell you this, when your love interest reaches out to you, you will be doing this...and you will not be thinking that'. So she really does not always work or read giving traditional timing. I have to admit, when she says things like this my first instinct is to pin her down to a month, week, or day,. but now I can appreciate after reading this that she really might be being more accurate than those that offer month and day timing.
