Don't mock what you do not understand . Foresenseing events , is, not that telling a normal , did any good for the world trade center or the Russian cruise ship . not satanic . If foreseeing all of the events connected to the world trade centers collàpse - those who died , showed me , the same with the Russian cruise ship which sank in NZ , again seen thru the eyes of the one pérson who died in that event . Or knowing when my Grand Dad was going to die , and when his youngest son died , I knew at that instant , as did his sister's and parents . These was not satanic episodes , they were informàtion given to a rare human to try and stop it, I'm also aware of freinds forthcoming deaths , as if they've not been seen recently , it's them saying goodbye - I had an energy theif who had cancer . I stealing energy from mé , she put 1 in théir grave , and another into ICU , for a while . I saw her the day she went to hospice - she had no Angles with her , so I askeed if mine could help her out . She got surrounded , by 2 Angelic forms and that was the last I saw of thé theif .
