Those who have heightened sense of consciousness probably could reach the rarefied spiritual world and predict the future. That is the world the prophets, including Joshua (aka Jesus), the Buddha and others likely reached with a lot of mental discipline. We know of how the Buddha abandoned a life of privilege to go isolate in a forest, reflect and reach a revelation. We don’t know about the life of Joshua for nearly thirty years until he burst into the Jewish world. He probably did the same thing.
That a journalist who affects some intellectualism now predicts the future through some unnamed seer is an overreach and should probably qualify for the entertainment section rather than a serious op-ed section. If he were to prognosticate by serious and rigorous extrapolations from events and actions, like an economist or a political scientist would do, may be he could be taken seriously.
Having said all that, I have a lingering awareness of a non-physical world which is influenced by our thoughts and deeds which, in turn, are manifested in the physical world—individually as well as collectively. Hence, such truisms as: we reap what we sow, or what goes around comes around. However, to explain world events in terms of this is best left for the Synagogue, Church, Mosque and other temples.
