How Premonitions Really Work -...

Martin K. Ettington

I’ve already written a couple of books on prophecy and premonitions including my own experiences. 
But as an engineer I felt that I really had not fully communicated what I’ve learned about these abilities and how we can apply this knowledge to our lives. 
Thus the purpose of this book is to be as detailed as I can be about what premonitions are and how you can use them to improve your life and change your probable futures. 
As an engineer and experiencer of many modes of premonitions and prophecies I feel I have a lot to offer here and want you the reader to benefit from what I’ve learned. 
Historical prophecies are also covered as are the real source of premonitional abilities, techniques to see your own futures, how far ahead people can see the future, how to use these techniques with a group of people, and much more on the importance of prophecy in our world. 
The ability to change the direction of your fate is also discussed.
