Messages from Your Higher Self

I think sometimes my higher self speaks from the future. Sometimes I write things or have ideas or make connections and I only understand them or their deeper meaning years later. Is this part of being an artist? Or is it being a spirit person, someone who is always asking questions about the self and the sacred?

I think the best way I can describe it is to reference some things Cat Stevens said. At one point in his life he got TB and was recovering from that, and started on a journey of spiritual questioning. He wrote a lot of songs during that time, and much later he said "Everything I wrote while I was away was in a transitional period and reflects that.... when I sing the songs now, I learn strange things. I learn the meanings of my songs late ..." He said particularly of "Wild World" that at first he thought it was a song for his ex, but later he realized that it was really a song about and for himself, like his wise self talking to his younger self.
