The Difference between
Prediction and Vision
Vision is what we see now, brought into focus by all our experience and emotion. Scientist estimate that 80 percent of what we see in the real world is already present in our brains, such as the memories, judgments, and emotions that fill the gaps that sight alone is incapable of processing. Though the images pass through our eyeballs, vision actioually takes place in our minds. To some degree, everything we see depends on what we are thinking when we envision it....The practice of envisioning can shape the future. Imagination, or rather seeing through the mind's eye, exposes new possibilities and eliminates unworthiness.
Though we'll never predict the future, we can, it seem, enact it through the visions we hold today....Want to lower your blood pressure ten points? Recall an image of yourself under a scarlet Pacific sunset, sand all around, and project yourself under there. Even scientists, with all their rigor and precision, would be nothing without visions, which they refer to as theories. As Einstein said: "Our theories determine what we measure."...tomorrow's reality springs from today's vision.
