It is still possible for individuals and families to react. What can you do to survive the impending crisis? Here is an outline of a five-point plan:
1. RETURN TO THE LAND. Build homesteads that are from 7 to 10 acres in size. Take extension courses in animal husbandry and other farming subjects. Read as much as you can about how agriculture was done in the last century. Plant orchards, build greenhouses and start gardening. Learn how to preserve your crops. Raise livestock that are easy and economical -- chickens, pigs, rabbits.
2. DEVELOP AND RELY ON ALTERNATIVE POWER SOURCES. Use solar and wind power for your electricity needs. Become totally energy independent.
3. USE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. It is not enough to buy a hybrid or alternative fuel source vehicle. Bicycles will become your most common form of transport. a horse and wagon will be used for chores around the homestead and for traveling longer distances than a bicycle is practical for or to carry objects that you can't on a bike.
4. RELEARN THE OLD WAYS. Learn to make soap and candles like your great-grandmother did. Preserve fruits, vegetables and meats. Learn herbal medicine and start collecting herbs that will become part of your medicine cabinet. Relearn your psychic gifts that you have always had but have forgotten about. Take courses in emergency medicine, especially minor surgical techniques. Obtain medical instruments and supplies so you can practice what you have learned.
5. PREPARE TO DEFEND YOURSELF. Obtain and learn how to use firearms. Stockpile ammunition. Learn personal self-defense techniques. Join your local sheriff or police reserves. Set up points of defense and drill all the members of your family on what to do should you need to react to an attack on your homestead.
If your homestead is near a major population center, you will have to respond to attempts by people who will be unprepared for the impending crisis and who will come to take what you have. This planning is not for a possible future event, it is to prepare for a crisis that will be upon us all too soon.

Vision #4 Continued
High fuel prices and increasing shortages will inevitably lead to increased lawlessness when formerly law abiding people are unable to heat their homes or drive their cars. Just as drive-aways at gas stations have already increased, hijackings of tank trucks will begin to occur. A gasoline black market will emerge which will result in an increase in other crimes against people and property. Local and state law enforcement authorities will be taxed to their limits and they will stop responding to "victimless crimes." Drug abuse will skyrocket and a vicious spiral of increased crime will ensue.
Public hospital, many of which are already unable to adequately meet demands, will find it impossible to keep up with increased patient loads. Private hospitals will soon follow. There will be a shortage of many drugs and other critical medical supplies. Doctors and nurses, taxed to their physical limits, will start making tragic medical errors. It will be a common perception that "Hospitals are where you go to die."
Rioting will lead to looting of grocery stores and there regional food shortages will become nationwide. Jobless men and women will find work with private "security" companies which will eventually become militias in a futile attempt to maintain order. These quasi-military organizations will soon become more and more acceptable and powerful. A vigilante justice system will handle more crimes than the local and state courts. State and federal military law enforcement will more and more begin turning a blind eye to the militias because they will provide a semblance of law and order. However, citizens outraged at the ensuing loss of constitutional freedoms will rebel and civil unrest that started as rioting will transform into virtual civil war.
As I wrote in my last post, this scenario cannot be prevented. It is too late for that and frankly, since it was the federal government's own policies and actions that contributed to the environment that leads to this outcome, I doubt any of the powers-that-be know how to avert it even if they wanted to.
The next post will discuss what people can do to avoid the worst of the impending crisis.

Vision #4 - Surviving the Impending Global Energy Crisis
Those who have been reading my blog for a while have read two visions I had in December. They were among my early posts and they involved events that have occurred since the visions. On Sunday, 26 May, I had a very vivid vision in four parts. I have been reluctant to post it, but my spirit guide has adamantly indicated I need to do so. I have called this Vision #4. The other two visions in this blog are #1 and #2. Vision #3 was of a personal nature. Starting with Vision #4, I will number all visions and post those I feel are pertinent to the public.
Vision #4 appeared to me as a newsreel, similar to the news that movie theaters would put on the screen before the feature, half century ago. It was narrated by my main spirit guide, The conductor.

Vision #4
Within four years, there will be a drastic worldwide shortage of oil. Oil companies are unable to meet demands. All major economic sectors of the global economy will break down. Shortages in food, potable water, heating fuel and medicine have caused civil unrest. All 50 governors in the USA will declare martial law. The unemployment rate in all industrialized countries will rival current third world rates.
This scenario is inevitable. It cannot be averted or postponed, no matter what measure are now taken. Part 2 of the vision will be posted soon. It outlines things individuals can do to survive.

Vatican Chief Astronomer on Aliens
Jose Gabriel Funes—the Vatican’s chief astronomer, director of the Vatican Observatory, and science advisor to the Pope—stated that space aliens could exist.
Funes made his comments in the Vatican newspaper (L'Osservatore Romano) article “The Extraterresrial is My Brother,” which was published on Tuesday, May 13, 2008.
Talking about the largeness of the universe and how life on other planets could exist, Funes stated, “In my opinion this possibility exists. Astronomers believe the universe is made up of 100 billion galaxies, each of which consists of 100 billion stars. ... Life forms could exist in theory even without oxygen or hydrogen."
Funes says that believing in alien life forms does not contradict the Catholic faith in God.
He added, "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere. Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation."

When Continents Collide
The massive earthquake in the Sechuan Province of China Monday was caused by a continuing collision between India and Asia. Fifty million years ago, when India was a giant continental-sized island, it crashed into southern Asia. India continues to slide north at the rate of two inches a year. The stresses generated by this movement push up the Himalaya Mountains and create multiple earthquakes between Afghanistan and China annually.
Monday's earthquake was rated a massive 7.9 on the Richter Scale. Aftershocks as great as an extremely destructive 6.0 followed immediately and smaller aftershocks have been continuing since Monday.
With 15,000 or more people killed and upwards to 18,000 still missing, the Sechuan earthquake is the biggest to hit China since 1976 when nearly a quarter of a million people perished. Fearing potentiallt devastating floods should earthquake-damaged dams burst, more than 2000 Chinese soldiers have been sent tot he region to make repairs to the largest structure, Zipingpa Dam. There are more than 391 smaller dams in the region that also have been damaged.

Why Sedona?
Some people have asked what it is that draws me to Sedona. The simple answer is, I don't really know. A few months ago, I had a vision that indicated I am to travel to Sedona. At the time, I wasn't even aware of the significance of this small town in northern Arizona.
I have since learned that Sedona has one of the largest populations per capita of psychically gifted people. Not only is the scenery of the area unique and most conducive to fostering psychic and spiritual activities, Sedona is the home to not less than 15 energy vortexes.
I hope to be living in Sedona within the next few month, certainly by the end of October. Come back to this blog for more information on the progress I am making in getting there and to learn what happens after we arrive and get settled in.

Weather Warning
With nearly 100 people killed in U.S tornadoes in the first four months and two weeks of 2008, this year has become the deadliest from tornadoes that were among the largest ever recorded. No one is sure how many deaths in Mynamar from Cyclone Nargis last week. This morning there is a report of 900 school children buried in an earthquake in China.
Can there be any doubt that we are entering another period of unusually violent weather and natural disasters around the world? What does this mean in the grand scheme of things? If you will visit some of the links on this blog, you will find a great deal of information and current data on all sorts of natural phenomenon.

A Lucky Man
Michael J. Fox and I have a couple of things in common. We both have Parkinson's disease and we both are, as in the title of his book, Lucky Men. How can I consider myself lucky when I have such a dreaded disease? Because it is not as dreaded as some other diseases.
Before I was diagnosed with P.D., in 1996, I was certain I was suffering from Amytrophic Laterasl Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease, a much more serious and rapidly fatal neuromuscular disease. I even avoided going to my primary care physician for fear of the death sentence I was sure he would inform me of.
But my symptoms kept getting worse and soon I was having difficulty ambulating, getting out of my car and rising from my bed, causing my significant-other to insist I make a doctor's appointment.
While seated in Dr. Cervante's waiting room, I tried to imagine how I would react to the inevitable news I had ALS. Soon, my name was called and I walked back into my doctor's inner sanctum. He was standing at the end of the hall. As I approached him, Dr. Cervante asked, "How long have you had Parkinson's disease, Jeff?"
"Is that all it is, Parkinson's?" I managed to say with a wide smile on my face and relief in my voice.
"Is that all?" he replied, "Isn't that enough?"
"More than enough for a man who was certain until a few minutes ago he had Lou Gehrig's disease," I answered.
That day changed my life. Not only will I never jump to conclusions about my health again, I will gladly accept whatever disease or condition I am inflicted with because I was given it for a reason.
I will always look on the up side and force all negative thoughts from my mind. No challenge is ever laid on us that we cannot handle and that wasn't meant for us to learn from. I may not move as fast as I used to and I may be slow in getting out of bed and out of my car, but, I am a lucky man.

Explain This
I was walking down a wide trail in Eagle Creek Park yesterday. I had been birding for about three hours at the time and wasn't moving very fast. The usual hikers, runners and bicyclists were enjoying the warm spring day along with me.There was very little ground cover and the leaves were still small on the trees, allowing for excellent visibility. I was approaching a point where the trail I was on intersected with another equally large one. I looked to the right down the trail that crossed and saw a rather tall Caucasian hiker wearing a gray t-shirt, blue shorts and tennis shoes walking toward where the two trails intersected. His hair was light brown.
The man continued walking when he went behind a tree that was rather big in circumference. He never came out the other side. At the pace he was walking, he should have only been blocked from view behind that tree for a couple of seconds at the most. I kept watching for him to come out from behind the tree, either in the direction he had been walking or the opposite.
Then I thought the man had stopped behind the tree, perhaps to rest or relieve himself. I continued to wait for him to appear from behind the tree. After a couple of minutes, curiosity got the better of me and I went to the tree. There was no one behind it.
The man was not an illusion. When I saw him, he appeared to be a normal living human being. He was not translucent nor did he resemble, in any way, something I would call a ghost. Yet, he had disappeared as surely as if illusionist/magician David Copperfield had conjured him out of the picture.
I offer this small event to the reader and ask you, what do you think I saw? How did this man, walking so normal down a wooded trail in a city park come to disappear behind a tree?

Pileated Woodpecker
I went birding in my favorite park yesterday, Eagle Creek Park in far west Indianapolis. Before the day was over, I enjoyed an almost mystical meeting, up close and personal, with a pileated woodpecker, one of the largest woodpeckers in the USA.I was sitting on a trail observing the trees around me and listening to the birds. Suddenly, out of no where, this majestic black and white bird with a bright red crest landed on a rotten stump less than six feet from where I sat.
I know he saw me because he looked directly at me. But this beautiful bird simply continued searching for insects in the stump. He stayed with me about five minutes, shifting to three other stumps within a radius of about 10 feet. He almost seemed tame.
Some interesting facts about the pileated woodpecker:
- The Pileated Woodpecker digs characteristically rectangular holes in trees to find ants. These excavations can be so broad and deep that they can cause small trees to break in half.
- A Pileated Woodpecker pair stays together on its territory all year round. It will defend the territory in all seasons, but will tolerate floaters during the winter.
- The feeding excavations of a Pileated Woodpecker are so extensive that they often attract other birds. Other woodpeckers, as well as House Wrens, may come and feed there.
- The Pileated Woodpecker prefers large trees for nesting. In young forests, it will use any large trees remaining from before the forest was cut. Because these trees are larger than the rest of the forest, they present a lightning hazard to the nesting birds.

Positive Affirmations
I was first introduced to the concept of Positive Affirmations when I was a sergeant stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in the mid 1980's. A couple dozen of us were preparing for the Combat Medic Mini Marathon that was to be held at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
I was accustomed to running two to four miles at a time but was no where near ready to the more than 13 miles of running required in a mini marathon. After a few weeks of training, I was able to break the six mile mark but there seemed to be a wall that was stopping me from running any further.
Frustrated, I even had thoughts of dropping out of the group going to the mini marathon and when I expressed these negative thoughts to the sergeant major of our unit, the man in charge of our training and the leader of our group, he chided me for even thinking of being a quitter. He told me he had a secret that will allow me to finish the mini marathon.
"Jeff, when you reach the point in the run you feel you can't go any further, I want you to start reciting, over and over again, either out loud or silently, 'I look great, I feel great, I act great, I am great,'" the sergeant major told me.
This was the first time I ever heard of positive affirmations but the sergeant major had never steered me wrong in the past so I decided to give it a try. The very next training run, repeating the sergeant major's simple mantra in my brain, over and over again, I managed to surpass the six mile mark and make it to the seven mile point as well. Within a week, my affirmation was taking me eight miles, then nine, until finally, a month after beginning to recite my positive affirmation, I was completing the 13 mile training run.
Positive affirmation is a powerful psychological tool that allows us to push ourselves beyond what we previously believed was our limit of endurance. I recently began a program of daily positive affirmations as part of my spiritual preparations for relocating to Sedona, Arizona. These simple exercises have brought clarity to my mind and enhanced my sense of purpose.
I would like the reader to consider using a daily positive affirmation in your life. I will even make it easy for you by listing the affirmations I used last week. All you have to do is wake up in the morning, go to a quiet place, and spend your first waking ten minutes of the day repeating a positive affirmation. I also try to set aside ten minutes in mid morning, after lunch, in mid afternoon and after supper to say the positive affirmation of the day. I think you will be surprised at the difference positive affirmations will make in your life.

Love & Wisdom
Man knows love exists, but doesn't know what love is. The word is used every day in so many ways: love of country, brotherly love, a husband loving his wife, a love of sports or a love of material things, a love of life. Yes, love is a word which is often used but seldom understood.
As misunderstood as the concept of love is, more and more people in the world are beginning to realize we should all be striving for that highest form of love -- Divine love. This is a love derived from God and directed toward God and all living creatures, unconditionally. God is the very essence of love, without Him, there can be no love.
Love cannot exist without wisdom. Love and wisdom make up the very core of what God is. God loves everyone from love in Himself and leads everyone to wisdom from Himself. The love God gives us is ours to give everyone else, but first, we must love ourselves as we love God.
From divine love and wisdom flows the good and the truth. Everything that proceeds from love is called good and everything that proceeds from wisdom is called truth. May all of our eyes be open to the goodness and truth in the universe.
Love and Light,
Jeff

Energy & Heartbeats
Energy. It goes on forever and can be measured. Millions of electromagnetically charged photons are produced each time the heart beats. That is not only human hearts, but animal hearts as well.
What happens to these photons emitted by the electrical action of the heart? Since they are tiny particles of light, they travel away from the body at 186,000 miles per second, the speed of light. So the photons produced by each and every heartbeat on earth travels infinitely through the universe. These photons are real. There are instruments physicists and other scientists use to measure them.
Another interesting fact: Each person's or animal's heartbeat is unique, like a fingerprint. Since they could conceivably be used to identify the source heart, doesn't it make sense that souls may be able to use the photons emitted by heartbeats to seek and find each other? Think about it.

The Afterlife Experiments
This book by Dr. Gary E. Schawartz, PhD, (2002, Pocket Books) announces scientific evidence of life after death. The author making the claim is a professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry and surgery at the University of Arizona and director of its Human Energy Systems laboratory.
What Schwartz and his partner, Linda G. Russek, Phd, did, was to take five of the top mediums in the United States and subject them to rigorous experiments, each subsequent experiment more restrictive than the last. The scientific findings announced following the two years spent conducting the research stated the five mediums being studied produced accurate and replicable after-death communications.
The performance of the mediums in each experiment was far better than could be expected for random responses and responses provided by the controls. The restrictions placed on the mediums were increasingly stringent as well. In the first experiment, the sitter was seated behind the medium, but the medium could hear "yes" and "no" responses. In the experiment with the most restrictions, the sitter was at a remote location and neither the sitters nor the mediums could hear each others' actual voices. The five mediums still succeeded.
Even an agnostic scientist like Schwartz, after reading this book and studying the data from the experiements, will be forced to admit that at least with these five mediums, there was definite communications with the dead. Many profound questions are born if the hypothesis that some people can talk to the dead is validated. The very question of when life begins and when it ends has to be addressed.
Religious scholars have opined that the soul lives forever but this is the first time the premise has ever been validated by men of science. Then why hasn't the rest of their community hailed their findings and attempted to replicate them with their own experiments? Consciousness survives after death. That sentence should have been placed in banner headlines in newspapers across the world, yet, for the most part, it was ignored.
I challenge you to read The Afterlife Experiments and then try to defend the scoffing of the skeptics. I bought the book at Half-Price Books for less than eight bucks. Not a bad investment for information that can change the world as we know it.

The time will soon be upon us when the earth can experience renewed enlightenment or a new beginning or will we all be witness to final destruction? It is up to us.
Divine Love & Forgiveness
When our hearts are aimed at eternity and our souls are at one with the soul of nature and the sacred heart of divine being, we are able to offer mercy and compassion to those who cross our path. We come alive and radiate the deep love that penetrates and nurtures the universe and our souls. This is the love that makes forgiveness possible creating fields of empathy between us and our brother or sister. It's depth is endless because it contains everything and gleams through creation connecting and healing life. From this deep well of love we learn to express compassion. It is at the core of eternal bliss that we can fill and carry pitchers of hope and peace into the world.
We do not have to be afraid of opening our hearts to swim in these mystical waters. The images that dwell in those deep, sapphire currents are the archetypes of all life, the original imagery of creation. We are the final product of their merging!
The feelings of fear are natural when we face the unknown, when we don't quite know how another will accept us or even if others will love us at all. We can be sure of one thing. Other people carry the same fear of not belonging or being loved and of facing the spiritual dimension with courage. Yet it's that fear that we need to take with us past the guardian at the gate because our conversation with eternity will be enriched.
If we carry our hopelessness and resentments into daily interaction with others we remain hollow and empty. We must explore our darkness within and take it to the Most High. Life is constantly challenging us to forgive one another, to look each other in the eyes and feel that the suffering carried by one is carried by all. For we are a collective race and the weakest link in the chain determines the strength of the chain. Our spiritual traditions call us to love one another because we are all connected in the vibrant, unified field of life.
The darkness that enshrouds our hearts at times may bring us to the brink of despair, but it's going to make us grow. And the darkness our brother or sister directs at us is not from their soul, but from their emptiness and lack of love. Darkness is merely what shows up when love is exiled from the center of being. The soul is fabricated with strands of love and yet twisted and knotted by our experience of failure and our inability to overcome the hurt with the healing power of love which flows naturally from divine love.
In order to attain spiritual victory in our lives we have to learn to love from the core of our hearts, not just the surface. If we hold onto resentments stemming from the tragic events that life often conjures at the core while acting happy on the outside, we cannot look each other in the eyes, the windows of the soul because our grief is too heavy and shameful. The sanctity of manhood and womanhood emerges when the grief is faced and defeated. Then we open to the full joy of life and embrace each other as beings of love who are able to forgive and be forgiven.
The society that we've created teaches us to compete with one another. This competition can be healthy like iron sharpening iron or it can become distorted. There's a huge difference between a parent or a sibling or friend who is emitting the light of love as opposed to one who instructs others in the discipline of hatred by their examples. When the barriers are erected around the heart, the ability to nurture is lost. A man or woman who is in touch with the Eternal One is able to teach discipline and nurture offering guidance, wisdom, and compassion. There's nothing worse than a man or woman disciplining young men and women in the dark art of isolation. That only sets the stage for the flood of loneliness which results in a polluted spring in the heart. This nourishes no one and bubbles with the poison of separation and domination. When men and women have to control life, and especially the people in their lives, they lose the possibility of delving deeper into the rich waters of compassion, imagination, trust, and mercy.
How does it feel when you are thirsty and someone offers you a drink? How does it feel when you are offered food and your stomach is aching for nourishment? It's the same feeling when the heart feels welcome, invigorated, and loved. In offering another soul a cup of water from the abyss of eternal love within, we soothe the whole of life. We act to teach others through our example. Your brothers and sisters will be inspired to reveal their light to others despite the wounds, and this will create a chain reaction of love that can melt the barriers encasing the hardest of hearts. Nothing can resist this love. It is such a pure, potent force. It holds the planets in orbit around the sun and it encourages all life it meets to grow in the art of love.
It is an art because we must have the vision that comes from immersing ourselves in eternal love and the courage to paint the glorious colors we have found on the canvas of our lives. Then we move the hearts of others who witness the bright dance. Once we have discovered unified being, the holy waters can do nothing but glisten in the wake that we leave behind wherever we walk and with whoever we meet, especially the stranger who thought he was beyond love.
In this ocean of compassion our lives ignite with a new kind of vision. As we discover islands of inspiration and shores that we never dreamed were possible, our eyes glow in the sheer ecstasy of exploration. The imagination awakens to guide the strokes of the paint brush we use to infuse life with our love. And in that artistry we serve life with the deep devotion that comes from humility. Once we have seen how fragile life can be, we are encouraged to help others through our compassion and forgiveness.

A Meeting of Souls
The discovery of my twin soul is not really an extraordinary story, but what has followed is. I had just undergone a painful divorce and was living in the same house one of her friends resided in. It was March 2. I had seen her frequently since January and had not said two words to her at any one time. "Hi" and "bye" were the extent of our conversations. She is only 24-years-old and frankly I was and am not romantically or sexually attracted to her mainly, I think, because of the huge gap in years between us. She is 10 years younger than my youngest daughter, after all.
Then in March, I noticed her carrying a book by Sylvia Browne and I asked her if she was interested in the psychic world. We talked nonstop for about seven hours that day. We felt as if we were old friends and there was a strong bond we both felt and that keeps growing to this day.
There was an instant recognition. From that first realization that we were more than strangers until today, communications has become easier. We have always finished each other's sentences, from day one. Since that first meeting, we have actually learned to communicate telepathically and each of us can often feel what the other is thinking from a distance. She is impossible to lie to because more often than not she already knows the answer to any question she asks me.
We have literally lived together in the same hotel room ever since this first meeting. There is absolutely no sexual component to our relationship. It is totally spiritual. It is difficult to explain so I will let this essay I found online do it for me:
Twin soul mates are people you've shared a special bond of friendship with in many lifetimes. You feel completely natural and open with them.
Meeting a twin soul mate is like running into a good friend you haven't seen for years. You immediately feel comfortable with this person and you pick up the relationship where it left off in a previous life, just as if there hasn't been any time lost between you. You recognize a twin soul mate as someone with all the characteristics of a companion soul mate, but with a much stronger bond between you. Twin soul mates are usually close family members or special friends. Look at the really good friends you have who understand you completely, and you'll be looking at twin soul mates.
Very often, you don't even need words to communicate with them because your souls are in tune on a telepathic level. You intuitively know their thoughts and feelings. You may also find that many experiences in your present life parallel those of your twin soul mate.
Together, you help each other in many different ways to grow and learn and your friendship becomes stronger. Your present relationship usually lasts for several years to your entire lifetime. If you part company, you usually part in a positive way and you value the friendship you've shared with them.
If the bond between you becomes stronger due to positive and continued interactions in the present, there can be an extremely HUGE bond between you so that when you lose that person, either to death or some other circumstance, it may feel as if a part of you has died as well.....
There are several indications that my twin soul and I are true soul mates. Let me list them:

There are several indications that my twin soul and I are true soul mates. Let me list them:
- We are magnetic opposites. A function of soul mates (twin souls) is to mirror one another's less realized and actualized traits and talents and blend them into a productive, balanced partnership.
- Neither one of us is perfect and this has caused us to discard our wish lists of ideals. True soul mates need not match your qualifications for the perfect mate or match. Rather, she or he is a "soul match," meaning they will help evolve your soul out of its previous conditioning and urge you to perfect the love you were meant to give freely and unconditionally.
- A dream announced our entrance into each other's life. Before we met, we both had dreams of going to a warm climate for spiritual reasons. I actually dreamed of Sedona, Arizona and my twin soul was also told of this by a psychic she consulted some time before we met.
- Unusual and magical circumstances surrounded our meeting and continued during the weeks that followed. Circumstances out of our control and not of our making drew us closer together.
- A divine spark lit our hearts the moment we both met. The divine connection between twin souls creates a synergy that ignites each other's hearts with a powerful love energy - a spiritual chemistry.
- We seemed oh so familiar to each other. Soul mate relationships are karmic which means we may have spent several lifetimes together. Each soul remembers the other intimately, even if details of past lives are never revealed.
- Our relationship presents challenges that seem like unfair spiritual tests. Soul mates are meant to grow spiritually through tests of their divine love for each other and these tests are never easy.
- Our life experiences contain uncanny parallels. We suffered some of the same emotional issues and shared some of the same traumatic experiences. Each souls legacy somehow mirrors the others so they can bond emotionally and serve one another with compassion through the psychological healing process.
- Finally, we are on the same sheet of music with our visions and aspirations for the future. We have vowed to serve together for the greater good of humanity.

Vision #2
At approximately 2 AM on Christmas Eve morning, I was talking on the telephone to a nurse friend of mine who worked in the neonatal unit of a large Indianapolis hospital. We were less than five minutes into our conversation when, for no apparent reason at all, I blurted out, "Go check on your mommies and babies."
My friend replied, "What did you say?"
I responded forcefully, "Hang up the phone and go check your mommies and babies Go check them now!"
My friend later reported that when she got off of the phone she immediately went to check on her patients. In the first room she entered, she found a mother standing over her baby's basinette having just picked the infant up to feed. No sooner had my friend approached the mother that she said, "I don't feel good," just before she passed out, dropping the newborn in the process. My friend snatched the baby in midair just before it would have hit the floor had she not been in the room. The mother had passed out from low blood pressure.
My friend replied, "What did you say?"
I responded forcefully, "Hang up the phone and go check your mommies and babies Go check them now!"

Vision #1
I saw a man dressed in an old fashioned train conductor's uniform. It was December 22, 2007. The Conductor was standing by the open door of a baggage car on an old train. There were mountains in the background. I recognized one of them to be Mt. Ranier in Washington State.
The conductor, who had been facing the scenic view passing by, turned towards me. He had a sad look on his face. He shook his head from side to side. I felt he was trying to tell me that there would be a train accident in the Pacific Northwest. There would be a derailment but the Conductor told me telepathically that no one would be killed or injured.
I awoke from this vision and immediately took pen to paper, writing:
December 22, 2007, 0549 hrs.
I see a train derailment somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. No one was injured or killed.
The next morning, I performed a Google News Search and found a small article concerning a train derailment. It read, "The Canadian Pacific Railway reported 39 cars on a 118 car train derailed near Anamoose, southeast of Minot. C.P. spokesman (sic) Diane Feigel said the train was eastbound when the cars went off the tracks at about 3:45 AM (local time).
Interestingly, when you take the time difference between Indianapolis and Anamoose into consideration, the Canadian Pacific train derailment happened about the same time I was having my vision.
