I'm reading a book at the moment (The Amazing Trevors) about a couple from New Zealand who assumed the Trevor surname after eloping in 1891. She was a married mother of four, aged 40. He was 24. They moved to Australia. She left a husband and her four children back in NZ
The Trevors lived hand to mouth for many years and suffered untold hardships. For example, they travelled 1800 miles in a small rowboat, travelling from Bourke to Albury when the Murray and Darling were in flood. They lived off the land, sketched and camped, finally to gain some form of financial comfort late in life
Mrs Trevor lived to her mid 90's, outliving her much younger husband. To the end, she succeeded in obscuring the details of her birth and first marriage, etc.
Some would judge her harshly. After all, she deserted her own four children and husband. But we see it only from our limited perspective, here on the ground, whereas those with experience of precognition know that what will be will be, because it was meant to be. Perhaps Mrs Trevor's children were fated to experience certain hardships and heartbreak at a young age. Who knows why? Maybe it was in order they could redeem a karmic debt, or perhaps it was to prepare them for events further along in their lives
In the news right now, scientists are claiming our lives are merely three dimensional reflections of a two dimensional world elsehwere (they propose this other dimension exists within one or more black-holes). If this is the case (as suggested also by precognition) it means we're merely echoes or ghosts of events which have already taken place elsewhere. Simplified even further, our current lives - although they seem real to us - may be no more substantial than our reflections in a mirror. So, if you cut your face in front of a mirror, you wouldn't judge your reflection or hold it responsible. Maybe it's the same with those around us who behave in a way we don't approve of. We could even go further and pity them for the hand Life dealt them and forced them to live out ?
