The Importance of Prophecy

The messages that are given to a prophet for the most part from the future are fixed points. This is why prophecies are generally so terrible, by the way. It's why people often just have bad visions of the future and not good ones. The other way that the bad friend will work is accessing the desire to go back in time. A lot of times these views are grafted onto indigenous spirituality without ever asking indigenous practitioners who are alive now what is needed or how those traditions have changed over time.
