Divination - the practice of foretelling future events or discovering hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means.

There are many forms of divination: augury - divining through the flight of birds; cartomancy - divining with Tarot cards or playing cards.

Tea leaf reading is a popular method. The act of throwing the bones (animal bones) and telling the future from the way they fall; also throwing the sticks. Runecasting is quite popular, too - the art of reading the runes after they have been thrown.

These are just a few - there are many more methods of divination.

There is a quote that says:
“Everything in heaven and earth is connected to everything in heaven and earth. Everything in heaven and earth is the reflection of everything in heaven and earth. Everything in heaven and earth contains the pattern of everything in heaven and earth. Look hard enough at Anything and you will eventually see Everything.”

Divination is a practice whereby one can look upon one thing and understand the nature of other things. True diviners can look to the stars, to a pile of bones, to the waters of the ocean, to the trees, to the flight patterns of birds, to tea leaves in a cup, to cards in a deck, to sticks tossed on the ground, even to traffic in the street - and simply Know. Any method of divination is equally valid; the patterns of the whole of reality reside within any and all of its individual parts. It is the Gift that matters, therefore; the ability to 'read' reality around oneself and truly understand it.

Divination is the prediction of things to come or uncovering things hidden. Usually it is done with the aid of a device. These devices can take almost any form. Some of the more common devices are tarot cards, runes, bones, pendulums, and crystal balls. Choice of device (if any) is at the discretion of the diviner. Certain devices are associated by convention with what is to be divined (though any can be used): example personal relationships are often divined via the use of tarot cards. Divination relies most heavily on intuition and other abilities of the diviner. The devices are more means to access and translate intuition into specific information. Many (most?) diviners include use of other 'mystical' abilities to enhance the process.

Book1 Divination = Intuition

Divination = Intuition

Any technologically advanced civilizations appearence to a much less techological civilization, can appear to be doing magic.

Via advances in technology we have gradually been able to reliably predict weather out to 5 days, with higher and higher degrees of accuracy.

The digital age has advanced humans ability to process greater and greater amounts of harvested data to better understand our predict and anticipate future needs.

Autos that see cars long before the driver does and alerts the driver to potential danger, or even takes action automatically.

Recently saw some blurb some where, regarding a new type of computer that will advance the power of computing by some very far reaching powers of processing that it boggles the mind, at least my mind. Cannot find the info on net yet.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news...-1226338312030

Di = 2

Bi = 2

Vine = plant that proliferates just under surface of ground and goes skyward on in vertical objects.

Di-vine Xx + Xy co-functioning.

Bi-vine = co-functioning Xx - Xy

As we grow to higher ages, we have experience under our 'belts' and hopefully derive a wisdom and source of intuition from those experiences.

It has been shown in laboratory tests, that, women and men working together, score higher on those tests, than the same tests given to only men or only women.

Bi-lateral or di-lateral, has a purpose for its existence.

While it seems correct that intuition could be the basis for some divination, there are other ways to do it. For instance pure statistical projection also works, just ask Google.
