Future consciousness is the total set of psychological abilities, processes, and experiences that humans use to understand and deal with the future. People expand and enrich their consciousness of the future by building up the mental framework of images, concepts, and principles through which they understand and experience time. All adult humans possess some capacity of foresight -- the ability to imagine the future. There are many benefits associated with expanding capacity for foresight, and people can do it by learning how to imagine many possibilities when they are thinking about the future. The development of future consciousness contributes to the growth of a variety of different virtues, including courage, humility, compassion, and especially wisdom. In the long run, future consciousness in humans will evolve. To whatever degree people can guide the future in a constructive and informed way, they will benefit themselves and all those who are affected by their actions.
