2012 Prophets and Warnings : The Psychic Material, and the Famous Zombie Word Alert

December 21, 2012 :
Seth, Jane Roberts, Edgar Cayce - the psychics were right all along?

In the mid 1980's I happened to chance across my first real exposure to psychic and channeled material via the writings of Ruth** Montgomery. As unique and interesting as I found her books to be, nevertheless there sat a rather large grain of salt on my shoulder as I plowed through book after book. Walk-ins, reincarnation, aliens and angels ... interesting, but not necessarily believable. Where was the proof?

Then along came Shirley MacLaine. She, too, had plenty to say and was quite good at saying it. In fact, one of the most interesting (to me) tidbits I tripped across was a little reference she made in regard to her oversoul or higher self (the sum total of who and what we really are). This OverSoul she described as having an oriental flavor, and the more she elaborated on her impressions of he/she/it, the more I realized that what she described was what, I, too had come to encounter more and more frequently in my imaginative musings. In fact, if such a thing could be true, then (as the years rolled by and I made comparisons in retrospect) the being she hinted at was most definitely cut from the same cloth as my own ... as though they shared the same species' traits. Again, interesting for what it was worth. But her accounts of aliens, UFOs, ETs, etc etc ... another grain of salt was added.

By 1989 or very early in the 1990's I was led further afield (psychic matters have a very definite way of doing that - leading the curious forward like stones in a pond) into the accounts of Edgar Cayce, which were not as easily understood/translatable as the other psychics' material. (Thank God I had not first started with the Seth Material).

Edgar Cayce, certainly very detailed as his accounts were given as to his bodily and etheric states, held a deeper fascination for me as now we were at last getting into the meat of the matter, the psychic potato patch, and I devoured his books of guides, guardians and prophetic events. Little did I then know of things quantum or energetic, but the ground was fertile for future planting and, with a firmer understanding upon which to build, my next foray led me to:

Jane Roberts, The Seth Material (btw - her Education of OverSoul 7 is one of the best I've yet to come across. If you haven't done so, get your hands on any or all of the Seth books. Absolutely the cream of the crop.) ... Seth, her channeled oversoul, was a prolific and erudite speaker. Not only did Seth go to considerable lengths to explain the workings of God (All That Is) and His extensions (we, the energy units - reincarnated and otherwise) - but he was verbose on the subject of what lay in man's most probable future (again, here I was introduced to the idea of probabilities/many worlds/string theory). However, in 1993, I simply could not believe - no matter how entertaining the dialogue - some of Seth's claims.

Always after his host, Jane Roberts, to cease her smoking - he remarked on how in the near future, cigarette smoking would become totally socially unacceptable and, those that continued to do so, would become ostracised for their habit. (As stubborn as Jane, I, too, continued to puff away because no blasted ghost, personality fragment, or channeled spook was going to dictate my God-given rights. Sigh.)

Furthermore, and more ominous yet, Seth spoke at great lengths about a severe economic breakdown, food wars, Global depression, oil shortages, climate change, the shift of the axis, and all manner of gloom & doom that seemed, well ... sensationalistic at best and plainly fabricated at worst.

Little did I know.

Then came the alien encounters. The Grays with their warnings and chastising. Unfortunately, much of the material at that time pointed directly or indirectly at the mark of the millennium, 2000, as the pivotal point, and when the year 2000 arrived with its business as usual ... it was hard to fathom that in a little more or less than a decade, the world would not quite BE THE SAME PLACE. In a word, to all intents and purposes, the psychics were actually right - by and large.

Given an overall excellent track record, where does that leave us now?

** Zombie Word Alert: Although hard on decaying teeth and gums, many zombies have a distinct sweet tooth (usually just the one and hanging by a visibly disgusting thread) and are simply gaa-gaa over Baby Ruths! Recent studies suggest that as high as 26% of the known Zombie population may be either diabetic or in stage 1 pre-diabetes.
