This is a very simple subject. This can also very well turn into a complicated subject. The future is in all actuality unpredictable, however controllable. Cause and effect is a measurable and practical science, and the effect always follows the cause. Thus by calculating the result of an action, factoring in all the variable results based on condition, environment and motion in inertia, you can somewhat control the future with precision.

The human mind is a flighty and complex, not to mention highly unpredictable object to attempt to control, and until you have a positive feel for the functioning of the mind, both cause and effect, you would endeavor to control it with miserable failure. Physical future predictions are practical and simple with proper calculation, but social and mental future prediction is a fine feat indeed. But even our physical mind can be broken down into a science, and the laws of probability can somewhat predict our reaction. More popular forms of social persuasion and ‘future controlling’ is fear. Ask someone politely to give you 10,000 dollars. It didn’t work? Try this: put a gun to a bankers head and tell her to open the safe. Ah, now that was a lot easier! Congratulations, you just won 10,000 dollars and a one way ticket to jail! Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, you just stole 10,000 anyway.

My point is this: your actions and words have great influence on the outcome of the future. To produce the results of the future, you must first control it. Affect the causes generated in a persons mind to dictate or predict the future effect, or result if you will. This is the simple solution for knowing what the future hold. You can touch it, you just have to reach out a little.
