I've had friends who see angels and demons, and in truth I never believed them and still don't. I'm as skeptical about this kind of shit as the next person. In truth I've not spoken to Camilla in a few years so wouldn't know how 'in tune' she may still be. The idea of it (whether you believe or not) is inspiring and is credible to a point. That point is bundled with the assumption that we have a soul in some form of spiritual dimension.
If you were to ask the question, 'is God (generic) confined within our linear experience of time?' you'd probably come to the answer, 'probably not'. (There are biblical insinuations that he may be, the whole 'creating the universe in 7 days' thing)
Do you think you have a soul? Or a higher self? If you do, you may then conclude that that spiritual element of you exists in a dimension where time is flexible.
You may conclude further that your soul has access to the future and past, explaining why listening to one's 'little voice', or intuition, or prayer can be quite effective and generally results in valuable opportunities arising. Most people have enjoyed moments of clarity, a sense that things have gone right, inner knowledge etc. Coincidence surely exists and plays a role in our lives. Raven... has a good comment, suggesting that those who reach some form of enlightenment wouldn't bother with money or foot massages. That would suggest that that being connected with one's soul and being in control is some kind of reward or nirvana. I disagree, you can be imperfect and exploitative, you have just as much access. What you do with any form of power is recorded and comes back to you, call it 'kharma' or 'judgement'. If it is a reward of some kind then I don't know what I did to deserve it, and I must surely have blown it as it came and went.
As for 'book rights', I would be surprised if this concept had never been realised before now. It's an experience I had, and I imagine thousands of others have also had. I'm simply articulating it as I see it.
