Earth Changes and Political Upheaval
From earliest times right up to the present time, mas-
sive and disastrous earth changes have been predicted
for the early years of the new millennium. Predictions
include two polar shifts, dramatic earthquakes, drasti-
cally-altered weather patterns, volcanic eruptions, and
a significant rise in sea levels as polar ice caps melt.
The result of such events would be a radically changed
map of the world with much of what we see today as
land disappearing under water and new continents ris-
ing from the sea. The resulting disruption and chaos
would be unimaginable and millions of people would
die. Political upheavals, religious wars, and environ-
mental damage would also occur on a massive scale.
Such predictions were most notably made by the fa-
mous seer of the 16th century, Nostradamus, and in
this century by Edgar Cayce, the “sleeping prophet,”
who made very precise predictions in the 1940’s. They
also appear in many religious writings, including the
Bible’s Book of Revelation and in the traditional texts
of the Mayans, the Hopi Indians, and many other indig-
enous peoples.
It is clear to many that these earth changes have al-
ready begun. As the effects of global warming become
impossible to ignore, the scientific community is mak-
ing its own series of predictions based on the world-
wide increase in floods, droughts, hurricanes, torna-
does, and volcanic eruptions, all of which bear close
resemblance to the predictions of Cayce and others.
Just recently the world has become a whole lot more
unstable politically and some of what is happening
looks uncomfortably like what has been predicted.

Consciousness Counts
The scientists do not talk much about the effects of con-
sciousness on the earth, preferring instead to focus on
what action we should take to prevent impending doom.
However, the more spiritually oriented predictions al-
ways have carried with them the caveat that the sever-
ity of the earth changes and the political upheaval may
be mitigated to the extent that we human beings come
to our senses and change our consciousness. In other
words, even though our fear/greed-based conscious-
ness has wounded the etheric body of the planet so
badly that a violent eruption in its physical form seems
inevitable, we still can lessen the effect by raising our
consciousness. Just as we have learned that a dis-
ease pattern in the etheric body of a human being can
be healed by nonphysical means (prayer, Reiki, imag-
ery, hands-on-healing, Radical Forgiveness, etc.), so
the pattern of upheaval and violent change already set
in the earth’s etheric body similarly can be dissipated
before it manifests in the physical. The answer there-
fore seems to be, amazingly enough, prayer.
