A satellite image of the worst of eight weekly and massive winter storms embroiling America since Christmas.

Friends,
We got through first month of a year I forecast in Predictions for 2011 to be filled with the first klaxon clang of alarm bells of unsustainable policies in economy, ecology, politics and social traditions. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Earth and Sky sends us a message in historic cyclones, monsoon floods crashing into, and inundating Australia. In the North, a string of record-breaking winter blizzards made January the snowiest on record in most cities along the Eastern Seaboard. The largest of these vast weather systems created a gigantic comma cloud that blocked out two thirds of the United States from satellite view, affecting one in three 300-million Americans with flooding rains, two-inch ice storms and 18 to 20 inch snowfalls.

I was recently on Whitley Strieber’s Dreamland show reminding him how the storm patterns of fact began matching satellite images created for the Science Fiction movie The Day After Tomorrow. This movie was based on his and Art Bell’s book The Coming Global Superstorm (1999). Roland Emmerich’s doomsday epic took their concept of a sudden superstorm transforming global warming into a global ice age. In my opinion, their foundation of imagination and research helped Emmerich create his most intelligent action packed super-apocalyptic blockbuster.

Emmerich films work when he forgoes illusions of being a scriptwriter and instead handily directs the excellent and thought-provoking material of others in that role, as was the case in Day After Tomorrow. In 2010 we were all doomed to see him once again conjure the spirit of schlock as his muse — as if he were channeling that greatest of Hollywood kitsch meisters, the late Irwin Allen — to spend a new budget high for a new blockbuster low: that laughable, visually CGI gluttonous end-of-the-world movie, 2012.

Anyway, the satellite image of the largest of eight-and-counting storms slamming the US every week since Christmas compelled me to remind Whitley Strieber on our last show of the apocalyptic blizzard-maker that triggered the new Ice Age in Bell and Strieber’s concept transformed into a Wagnerian Weather Channel shot in Day After Tomorrow.

Does the Ice Age commeth, and soon?

I would predict that it would be the triggering catalyst of the next jump in human civilization between 250 to 500 years from now. That is, if man-made tampering with the climate does not melt an inordinate and rapid flood of fresh water off Baffin Island and Greenland upsetting the great saltwater ocean current systems bringing on an early 100,000 year long winter to the world the day after tomorrow.

I wrote about this theme of “fire or ice” futures as far back as 1990 while living in a sweltering tenement in India outside Osho’s Meditation university/holiday resort. The work was published in 1994 appearing in the chapter The Second Hellrider: Earth Trauma under the sub-section A Greenhouse or an Icehouse Effect? in the book The Millennium Book of Prophecy. This book strove to divide 777 predictions coming from over 200 prophets recorded throughout ancient to modern history up to the 1990s. Their judgment of tomorrow fell into two categories: collective witnesses of doomsday and/or “blooms”-day, visionaries of an end of the world or a way to end world-ending stupidity to forge a golden future.

The conclusion of the prophets and seers was mixed about global warming either cascading into a future of warmth without end or warming triggered a sudden and unexpected age of ice. Fire may beget ice, but that is not made clear in their collected, augured witness.

I invite you to read the book and the collective judgment of seers therein. In my personal effort not to contribute to either climate-changing catastrophe, I for now no longer publish books made of dead trees. I do have a number of copies of Millennium Book of Prophecy for sale here, click on: Bookstore. You will also find my other “tree-book” prophecy classics at this link.

One thing I can and did clearly conclude from reading so many collective visions of a fire or icy future is this: both fire and ice spell famine.

Right now, the future leans to the sky going hot in blazes the grain belts of the world wizened to weeds. Nostradamus is not an Ice-Ager proponent in his prophecies. It would seem from his view back in the mid-16th century – a time suffering the first stages of another bout of the climactic phenomenon called the Little Ice Age — that the future after the year 1999 was hot with winds, famines wars and pirate (terrorist) raids.

Follow, therefore, his vision of the planets Saturn and Mars far beyond the year 2012 into the fires of a globally warmed future

L’an que Saturne & Mars esgaux combust,
L’air fort seiché, longue traiection:
Par feux secrets, d’ardeur grand lieu adust
Peu pluye, vent chault, guerres, incursions.

In the year when Saturn and Mars are equally fiery,
The air is very dry, a long comet:
From hidden fires a great place burns with heat,
Little rain, hot wind, wars and raids.

Here are the windows for climate change wars I described in detail back in 1994 in Millennium Book of Prophecy that the Pentagon finally reported as the main cause of conflicts in the future 11 years later. The comet may be a bearded star portent or a metaphor for a descending missile, shot by the desperate, falling upon the holder of dwindling resources they need to seize to survive in an ecologically impoverished world:

Feb/Mar 2015 — Mars (Aries), Saturn (Sag.)
Sept/Oct 2016 — Both in Sag.
Jan-Mar 2017 — Mars (Aries), Saturn (Sag.)
July-Sept 2017 — Mars (Leo), Saturn (Sag.)
May-June 2025 — Mars (Leo), Saturn (Aries)
April/May 2026 — Both in Aries!
Oct/Nov 2026 — Mars (Leo), Saturn (Aries)

I have marked the first two dates as the next window for a war with Iran (see Iran prophecies). I mark the last three in bold font because they coincide with Neptune (God of Oceans) moving for a long generational transit through the sign of Aries (hot tempers, hot climates).

Those of you know, who have been reading my ten published books made of trees since 1987. Those of you who have followed my blogs on this web site posted and archived since 1999 know. Those of you since 2006 who have moved beyond paper books into the world of my self-published eBooks fashioned out of photons and electrons know my view about the 2020s.

Long after all this hubbub about 2012 comes and goes, the next I designate the next decade as the likely tipping point time of apocalyptic disasters caused by human abuse of resources and the climate that will cause supersystem collapse. In other words, the overtaxed supersystems of fossil fuel, systems of agriculture, the industry of finding and sequestering potable water, the network to transport our basic needs of food, water and power, etc., will start collapsing in the mid-2020s at the latest. If we do not change course in the next few years, there will be a great worldwide famine foreseen by Nostradamus, leading to a “Balkanization” of the world, a descent into chaos.

It may very well be that the year 2011 sounds the alarm of what is coming. If you heed what I wrote in Predictions for 2011 about the coming food crisis of 2011 and other alarm bells sounding the unsustainable and see what alternatives to famine and turmoil are possible, then you can play your part preventing the coming catastrophe of the 2020s.

Nostradamus may have foreseen the threat of civilization’s unraveling when in 2 Q75 he described a future where “bushels of wheat will rise so high, that man will devour his fellow man.”

Famine is not coming in 2011 or perhaps even in the 2020s because of a lack of food but from a lack of imagination and intelligence that sees the human race stupidly waste and mismanage its food stuffs, or lets free market play range free chicken with human hunger. Sooner or later the leaders of the G20, perhaps even in 2011 or 2012, will gather for a world symposium to create a new food price standard that can keep the agriculture business growing and profitable but not at the cost of social upheavals that undermine civilization. A free trade must be enabled that is also free of Darwinian, survival-of-the-fittest price hikes that people cannot afford. Price hikes that pile, as Nostradamus visualized, bushels of wheat stacked like hills while man cannibalizes fellow man because he cannot afford to eat.

The food alarm is ringing in 2011 as I predicted it would.

US wheat futures surges to fresh 29-month highs in late January 2011 as growing concern over food prices drove Algeria to order another large grain purchase on the world market.

Algeria’s government is trying to buy their way out of a revolution like in Egypt by purchasing in one huge order what was expected to be a third of their expected wheat purchase from US sources: 800,000 metric tons! This has pushed January 2011 wheat futures in Europe to their highest level since March 2008.

Other North African and Middle East nations threatened with upheaval have also dramatically stepped up their grain orders since the Tunisian revolution. US global wheat exports since the Russian ban last summer have doubled. The intensifying weather of climate change that caused the Russian ban has so far profited US wheat exporters because violent weather is stifling competitors, like Canada and Australia, the latter seeing much of its grain crop under water from floods and only good now for feeding livestock.

Taiwan and other Asian countries are also bracing for a rush on grain exports hiking prices to the levels setting their own populations out on the street Tunisian-Egyptian style in protest later this year perhaps. To prevent demonstrations, Taiwan will lower its wheat tariffs by 50 percent to stem the tide!

Soft red American winter wheat is scheduled for March delivery to Algeria and several other Middle Eastern nations. In January it was the most actively traded contract, reaching a high of $8.61¼ a bushel at the Chicago Board of Trade, eclipsing an intraday high set last August when a drought led Russia to ban grain exports. Futures ended up 18¼ cents, or 2.1 percent, to $8.56½. How much of this winter wheat will be human friendly rather than feed friendly depends on an early cessation of these record breaking weekly winter storms blowing their icy breath across the US grain belts. Though they dump feet of snow in eastern US states, they leave the winter wheat fields of Kansas and Nebraska freeze dried by polar windstorms sweeping away the snow pack that protects the wheat seeds from freezing to death.

In the opening 10 days of the Egyptian Revolution, food stuffs began running out because of the lawlessness and chaos — most of which was apparently orchestrated by the Mubarak Regime pulling its police forces away to punish the people for demonstrating against 30 years of dictatorship. The cynical aim only, was to make them yearn for law and order rather than yearn for democracy.

The people suffered but they have so far shown know sign of backing down. At the time of this writing, the Egyptian dictatorship had to flip on the Internet or see his Stock Exchange off line in darkness for another week continuing the Egyptian economy crash. Now that Internet is switched on, the social network that started this rebellion over food prices has enjoyed its largest crowds of demonstrators on the streets yet seen. The Egyptian working poor and civil servants are threatening a national strike to gain better wages to pay for food among other dwindling basics hiked ever higher in price. The food pricing issue that started this rebellion becomes a survival issue that takes it to a new level of peaceful resistance to the regime.

The growing spread of the Freedom Square revolution in Cairo to all classes of Egyptian society will face a showdown and soon. The military will take over an interim role of reform referee while aiming to save their power and perhaps see a new Mubarak emerge. Remember, Mubarak “was” the head of a military junta for the last 30 years. The junta will not relinquish power openly. The paternalistic power base in Egypt is as ancient as the Pharaohs. To succeed the democracy movement must keep pressuring the military regime to change. They will also need to ORGANIZE themselves into political parties and committees. STAY IN LIBERATION SQUARE! Do not leave Tahrir Square until you have democracy. Otherwise the army will occupy the square you leave, thinking reforms are now going to happen. Without the “heart” beating in that Square, the revolution will be systematically crushed. Let the social networks not just get them all to the meet ups in Egyptian city squares. The mob needs to become an organized movement, otherwise they give gravitas to a continuation of the military regime.

This revolution is about the begin its most dangerous and equally most potentially positive phase. I will call it the vacuum of political transition. In the next few weeks (indeed in the next few minutes, as I write this update for posting a few minutes before Mubarak is about to speak to his people) the mobs in the street could riot, regime could still roll the tanks over demonstrators, the military could experience upheavals within its inner hierarchy in several palace coups between now and especially sometime after February 23 through February 28 because of a very rare astrological conjunction that unconsciously influences people, perhaps on both sides of this revolution, to run out of patience and heed the temptation to do violence. By the end of February the revolution will spread across the Middle East threatening monarchies in Jordan and the Gulf States and dictatorial governments in Yemen and Syria. This conjunction in Pisces of Mercury and Mars will be the subject of my next post on the oncoming “Arab” Revolution.

Eruption in April 2010 of the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokull ("gas"-undheit!). Source: Smithsonian.com, S. Olafs/epa/Corbis.

Now I wish to write about another temptation to violence. There is a stubborn pressure ready to break the seams of earth rather than regimes and revolutions. We all must carefully monitor between now and February’s end: Bardarbunga.

You will all know that name soon. It is not an anagram for that elephant of child stories (Bardar=Barbar), but it is an elephant sized Bardarbung-a-hole in Iceland. It is a volcano at of the time of this writing experiencing a warm of earthquakes that geologists are convinced is lava (a lot of it!) seeking a way to the surface, big Bardar time.

This “Bardarbunga” is about to go BardarBING, BardarBOOM!

What are the consequences?

Well, prophetically speaking if what my oracle detailed in Predictions for 2011 about natural disasters and climate change weather “redoubling” after the violent year of 2010 continues to be on track, then the eruption of Viking volcano Bardarbunga will unleash an ash cloud twice as large and lingering than its much smaller neighbor with the even longer and unpronounceable Icelandic name, Eyjafjallajokull. The latter spewed a cloud of ash ten months ago, grounding all fights in and out of the Europe for weeks. Bardarbunga, the largest volcano of Iceland may do far worse when the coming Mercury-Mars conjunction will goad more than people to lose their temper. Mother Earth, perhaps, may blow her top at us?

(09 February 2011–Egypt segment updated, morning of 10 February)

What follows are two introductions for such an article. The first written one year and four months ago and the second written today (28 September 2010) sets up today’s topic about the future of third party movements in America. It was written in the first days of January 2008.

***

Introduction One (19 May 2009)

I wrote [The Party of Americans essay] in January 2008 for Predictions for 2008. It wasn’t the first time I posted articles about a new concept of a third party rebellion against the Democratic-Republican Party Duopoly. So many breathtaking things happened since I wrote this at the beginning of the Presidential Primary Election Season in 08. The national elections later that November brought on a core shift in American politics. Now it seems that change is even set to upend the duopoly transforming it into a Democratic Party monopoly, what with the Republican Party melting down, shedding its moderates — some of these like Senator Arlen Specter switching parties. The Republican Party becomes more hard-right wing and unelectable in the process.

I want to frame the article below with a few observations from today (19 May 2009).

There is still a silent majority of Americans who do not have a watchful eye or a voice reporting their political aspiration inside the bubble world of political commentators on CNN, MSNBC and FOX. Although many of these independents voted for Obama, a monopoly of power in the hands of the Democratic Party in the coming years could lead that party so far left that a rebellion of the independent moderate majority could still be waiting to happen as early as the mid-term elections of 2010. Eventually the Duopoly will be challenged because these non-aligned Americans won’t go back to the Republican’s either as long as they venture deeper into the political wilderness of the extreme right. Here’s the article:

Introduction Two (from today: 28 September 2010)

The duopoly is indeed set for a period of upheaval come this midterm election of 2010 and what I’ve said above about a Republican Party turning more right-wing and unelectable, I contend, will still be the outcome. Not in 2010 but in 2012. What has changed from May 2009 to today, is that the American people may chose to vote in a mandate of anger this coming November and reap the consequences. There could be two years of a Republican majority in the House of Representatives and perhaps even the Senate that could see the GOP devour itself and its political credibility in the coming two years with infighting with its Tea Party members for supremacy. The latter faction cannot — will not — compromise and find common ground, thus reaping a political whirlwind that will give Barack Obama his second term in office.

As Lincoln said, “A house divided cannot stand.” A House of Representatives under the control of Lincoln’s present-day Republican Party injected with the intolerant anger of its Tea Party wing will not stand after the turmoil of the coming two years.

This timeline above is not the only one set before the American voting public, as I explained back in a blog posted in July: Uranus in Retrograde: A Chaos We can believe in? I will speak more on these two futures as we get closer to Election Day.

What is more important for today as the country ramps up for a wild political ride of last ditch campaigning in October is what I wrote back in January 2008. My “Party of Americans” essay came into the world a few days before the New Hampshire primary — the first of many Democratic and Republican primaries engaged that set in motion a process. Campaign promises kept and unkept in 2008 set in motion a four-year process that by the national elections of 2012 that may evolve third party movements coming out of the Tea Party’s current destructive, chaotically reactive, downright anger-driven and irrational political platform. The ungovernable US Congress of the next two years may create a climate in the land for something far more radical than extreme politics.

Can you imagine a shift from polarity to solidarity? Can you imagine a third party movement that seeks a balanced, middle-way solution for America’s many issues?

The following was written after the “oracle” brought before my inner eye a seemingly impossible, far off future that its presaged campaigns in 2008 for better or worse would set in motion.

***

A Party of Americans (January 2008)

A revolution is looming in the American body politic in 2008. It’s not a revolution of centrists; it’s a revolution of balancers, of reckoners. It will not come from a grass roots movement, because the current two-party grip on American politics wears Dumbo-publican and Donkey-cratic masks over a political mafia of the elected governing of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists and for the lobbyists.

The people are steadily losing their representative democracy to a new plutocracy — an elite governing class of special interests. Though a vast majority of Americans ache for a refreshing change in their democratic misfortunes, they may have to wait for a rebellion of the electors within the plutocracy because the electorate as of yet has no powerful voice or means to stage an effective third party or independent rebellion. The Republican and Democratic Parties run the 50 state governments that make the ballot access rules. Third parties and individuals running as independents often are forced to jump through hoops of extra criteria to get their name on the ballot. In many states, there are registration fees and Herculean petition requirements. Republicans and Democratic candidates don’t have to jump over these obstacles to get on the ballot, but you, Independent candidate, might have to find hundreds of thousands to sign a petition just to get on one state ballot and there’s more than a dozen other states requiring the same.

Those who are already entrenched in the system are the only ones who can break free of it. They’ve got to have some Charles Dickensian, Scrooge moment. See the light. Foresee the dire state of the future of America revealed by the angel of Christmas Future playing Politic’s Future before “Bah! Humbuggering” the body politic with a political duopoly. And when enough Republican or Democratic political scrooges turn their hearts away from Lobbyism to Populism again, you will see the next great party born in the coming 36 years.

I call it the American Party.

It is not politically Left. It is not Right. It is not spendthrift or greedy, Green or Libertarian. Its party platform is about fair and balanced government finding common ground amongst all Americans. In the end, despite their many differences, this country has ever been a party of Americans.

What do Americans all share in common?

A love of country, freedom of speech and religious belief. A fairness in rights given and access to fair wages and opportunities. Generally, Americans are fiscally conservative yet socially tolerant. Change allied with merit and practical reality. Whatever the differences in religious beliefs, the American Party follows the golden rule: “Do unto other Americans as you would have them do unto you.”

The American Party can be born overnight when a dozen Republican and Democratic Senators with 20 to 30 members of the House of Representatives pledge to abandon the duopoly and special interest groups that got them into office. The government will not function unless the Left and the Right come in from the extremes of ideology, making fair and equitable compromises to gain the American Party’s voting block to break deadlocks and to move forward. Special interests may have gotten them there, but once elected they could serve out their terms winning a majority of American voters over to their cause with the merits of progressive legislation that brings the government back to one that is of, by and for the American people. If this handful of legislators succeeds in making real change, the people will vote them back into office regardless of what Lobbyism dictates.

The American Party could begin with a conversion of just one man or woman who oversees the Executive Branch of the government. The political climate in Washington DC could see partisan passions evaporate overnight if neither party had the president in their political pocket. A consensus-oriented American Party President in the White House forces the two parties to work out compromises because he or she will veto anything too ideologically extreme or dictated by special interests.

The prophetic narrative in my annual almanacs is a continual flow of predictions (such as above) that often enlarge upon the vision of tomorrow’s events beyond the mere temporal straight-jacket of the year in question. Indeed many of the predictions set for each year tend to be more like a birthday point of forecast trends that may surface in the year in question yet evolve for many years to come, such as the account above of third party movements.

That is why I recommend you consider reading Predictions for 2008 and Predictions for 2009 as well as reading Predictions for 2010 if you haven’t already done so. Even though 2010 is drawing to its close, much of what I wrote for it, as well as books on 09 and 08, looks far into the future of the next ten to twenty years. I also cover issues and prophecies not seen in the blog postings.

No need to wait for what’s going to happen in 2012. We are in times of upheaval and revolution right here and now.

(28 September 2010)

On a break from filming the water ballet sequence from MGM's Neptune's Daughter, starring Esther Williams (squatting in the center). My mom is the third from the left.

Friends,
Hi, did you miss me? It has been awhile since I could bang out a blog for you. I have had to add nurse to my many Herculean labors. My 81.9-year-old mother fell ill the very day I finished my seven-week marathon conceiving, writing and producing Predictions for 2010. Seven weeks of 15-hour days notwithstanding, I had to Gurdjieff-girdle my loins, sizable adrenal pools of energy and subtle-body soul resources to take Mom to the hospital whilst running my seven ring circus and become her nurse in the recovery phase when she returned home a week later.

She is a former MGM dancer. Some of her dancing partners (if you are still hoofing it) might remember her by her maiden name, Irene Hall. The rest of you might have seen her frolicking with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the Barkleys of Broadway (1949) or swimming in the famous water ballet of Esther Williams in Neptune’s Daughter (1949). If you are a real MGM musical fanatic, you might have the CD version of the latter and see my mother dancing to the wild and restored Coogat South American band number. She’s the cherry blonde goddess sliding on the glossy dance floor into the camera screaming deliciously.

It is a good thing she did all that dancing and swimming, because with two new stints in her heart — a great heart that will have spun 82 times around the sun’s orbital dancing circle on 2 January 2010 — is in pretty good condition and she is recovering rapidly.

THE ACCURACY THE LAST ALMANAC

As a Preface for the New Year

Although the temporal window for the Predictions for 2009 is half way through its final month, I am struck by the accuracy it has achieved. Near-100 percent accuracy on the world weather and climate change predictions. Many long-shot forecasts happened, such as the picking of an African American as the head of the very Caucasian-uploaded Republican Party. The US unemployment numbers above 10 percent for the end of 2009. The book fore-chronicled Obama’s positive few steps forward in foreign policy and his many steps backwards on a number of his economic and domestic experiments. My oracle in December 2008 saw him diplomatically rethink his economic strategies in December 2009 — as it turns out he is doing with plans for a new stimulus program the oracle had predicted. The strain of his change agenda not sprouting in tangible “do” was all carefully detailed before he was sworn into office. And yet, the promise of greatness, as I predicted, flickers yet and may alight in the future.

Sound outrageously impossible? You do not want to fondly recall Abraham Lincoln’s first year in office. It was a disaster. Far worse for what promises where not fulfilled (such as keeping the union together) than anything proffered and floundering in President Obama’s campaign wooing wish list seducing the American people. Yet, Lincoln eventually prevailed and now we think of him as one of the great presidents. Watch for Obama doing the same, with time

Those of you who have read Predictions for 2009 know it anticipated many surprising things, such as China’s economic Great Wall strategy, the rise of citizens in America and many other countries moving together to find solutions and jump start a green industrial revolution while governments stagnate, pontificate and ponder-pundit. The Obama administration mused on shovel-unready national recovery programs that the book foresaw were dead in the backhoe bucket before they were even legislated. Domestically grown jihadist terrorism did strike in November 2009 with Major Hasan’s shooting spree massacre at Fort Hood, Texas — small-scale with guns, not hijacked planes, as foreseen.

When I review Predictions for 2009 against the newly released Predictions for 2010, I experience them as two books in one. The first sets up many of the themes further evolving in the coming new year of 2010.

I would highly recommend that those of you who have not read Predictions for 2009 consider having a go at it. Its year is nearly finished but many of its predictions read like a foundation for what is coming in the volatile and altogether surprising wild car new year of 2010. I believe your understanding of the new decade coming will be much enriched by reading it.

So that you can be presciently enriched without losing monetary riches, I now offer Predictions for 2009 for only $6.26.

If you purchase it as a preface read for Predictions for 2010, you will be getting two fully illustrated 36,000-word ebooks of high quality, for a low price you will rarely see in book stores filled with trashed tree pulp paperbacks and hardbacks.

Only $18.75 for both books.

Well Rudolph my red nosed Reindeer, Santa!

Kwanzaa my gift sock, Shaka Zulu!

Such a Hanukah deal!

Happy Holidays

if you really believe what you are saying about irann then why do you keep on defending the relelection of the regime again and again? I have simple analogy. Even you yourself do not believe what you are saying that is why you have to repeat it again and again. Oh my basij sympatizer

Emilie,
What follows is just graffiti sprayed on the wall of a closed mind. The stones have no intelligence. It is therefore easy to predict that this mind imposed upon you will not get what I am saying unless your birthright intelligence can break out from behind the wall, in which your society has imprisoned it.

I am a Mousavi supporter. I want his moderate revolution to succeed; however, it will not succeed as long as the movement is filled with people like you who would rather dream things are so than make them so.

We have to come back to reality if we what to make the Green Revolution in Iran a reality.

We are being duped by our own media and our own fantasies to think that a revolution of moderates in Iran is succeeding. It is not, for now. A year from now, a different story, even though its eventual success will be in the final reckoning just another so-called revolution like all the others. Real revolution has not yet happened in this world.

We have to face facts, not illusions. Moreover, the readers of my bulletins will often have to confront things that go against their projections. If people do not like what they are reading here, nothing is stopping them from going somewhere else to nourish what they want to see.

This blog is dedicated to those who say yes to the only revolution that can possibly change the world: a revolution in witnessing consciousness that uses the mind as its servant — not the master.

There is no greater tyrant overlording all of you right this very moment than the conditioned, programmed mind. This is the true Satan.

It thrives as long as we go on living unconscious of its prison for our minds and hearts. We must stop pretending the prison walls do not exist. We must encounter them, understand the nature of this prison, so we can then break free of it.

There is no liberation more atomic or significant than the freeing of the individual from his or her conditioned mind and personality. Most of humanity’s misery is rooted in our identification with a false-persona personality programmed into us starting at birth by whatever culture we find ourselves born into. We are made to think we are the hammer, not the hand holding it. We are hypnotized to believe we are the body-mind vehicle, not the soul driving it. The outside imposed misperception of the hammer and the car, the robotic adherence to morals and religious dogma, the identification with nationalistic mindsets that has us persecuting and killing each other and a thousand other false personas imposed become mind-dirt that buries the being from our conscious awareness. We walk for 70 years or so of life in the shadow of our own graves hypnotized to think we are alive, thinking and feeling for ourselves.

We all have this wall built up around our intelligence and soul. A few of us are aware the wall exists and are beginning a breakout. A few of us want to really be alive and rediscover our lost and innocent intelligence of soul.

These Hogue Prophecy Bulletins are written for those who want to break free of a present conditioning that is making the future a tragedy. Prophecy is one of the devices I use writing these blogs and eBooks. There is a lot more going on between the lines you read here.

A practice of self-observation techniques can help expose these underlying tyrannies of the programmed mind to the light of consciousness. That consciousness exposes the programming like light dispelling chains made of shadow. If you want to liberate Iran or any other oppressed being, start at the beginning. Take the first and right step inward: liberate your self.

If enough of us do this around the world then solutions to the world’s problems will be within our grasp.
