Lal ask to conduct an experiment. What I’ve realized is the ability to know what’s being thought is when we’re talking in our heads. So, the energy is more dense (vaci sankhara rupa) as opposed to mano sankhara that come unconsciously.
For example, I look at the card and say “four” in my head, in an instant she tells me it’s a “four”. On the other hand, if I just look at the card w/o speaking it in my head, she doesn’t know.
Regarding knowing future events, I’ve come to realize they’re set (dense rupa) events. As described above in my daughter’s trip to the Buddhist temple. This event was set up previously and not likely to change, therefore, it has established dense rupa that can be seen. Just like events that are going to happen within 24 hours, the events are already established and can be seen.
