Each decade brings new hope, hope for a better future with wellness, health and prosperity. We all mean well making our New Years resolutions, we try our best to live up to the standards we set for ourselves. However, only the lucky few seem to succeed in their path to total perfection.

There is something else the decades hold a new and it haunts us constantly. Every new decade has its predictions of doom and gloom.



2009 was a great year for movies and one highly anticipated one was 2012. My own personal view of the movie was unexpected. By this I mean it became apparent to me that I had indeed changed, perhaps my age? Who knows, but the fact is to me it was just a display of new state of the art visual effects. I mean does anyone remember actually any acting in the movie?



2012 however dealt a huge blow to all 'real enthusiasts' of the enigma surrounding the Mayan Calendar and it's abrupt end on December 21st. I say 'real enthusiasts' simply because most of them including myself, feel it rings in a New Age for the human race not total destruction or annihilation.



There have been so many predictions made over the past millennium its almost impossible to keep track. Self proclaimed prophets or psychics have stapled a cloud of 'what if' over our heads. Now we question just how many have come to pass? With the wonderful world wide web and my all time favorite search engine 'google' we can see. For now we will focus on three.



Famous or Infamous:



Nostradamus

Edgar Cayce

Sylvia Browne



Nostradamus is by far the most closely regarded. According to many Nostradamus scholars many of his predictions have come to pass. However, his predictions written mainly in poetic anagrams leaves much to the imagination. One of the most famous one is as follows:



"The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror: To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck."



"At forty-five degrees the sky will burn, Fire to approach the great new city: In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up, When one will want to demand proof of the Normans."



"Earthshaking fire from the centre of the earth will cause tremors around the New City. Two great rocks will war for a long time, then Arethusa will redden a new river."



Now I don't know about you but I sat waiting patiently on that hot July day for something of great significance to take place. So, simple right? A failed prediction? No, oh contrair my friends when studied further the prediction seems to be talking about the 9/11 attack in New York. The date you ask? Well, you need to ask the question which calendar was Nostradamus following? It was remember the 15Th century.



You see it may be possible he was following the Gregorian calender and not the Julian. Therefore the legend lives on.



Edgar Cayce the 'sleeping psychic' would go into self-induced trance and predict events into the far reaches of the future. According to many followers most of his predictions have in fact come to pass. However, the more important ones seem to be a miss. Some of his most famous:



Foresaw the stock market crash and great depression

Foresaw the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler

Foresaw the deaths of FDR and JFK

Sylvia "I only charge $500 for a half hour because I truly care" Browne is psychic to the stars...or Montel Williams. However, her views of the afterlife give you that warm fuzzy feeling. We can only wish or imagine. I find her predictions bordering obvious, I mean of course the banks would start to recover or of course Brad and Angelina are going to eventually break-up. Here are some of her predictions which apparently have come to pass:



oops! I can't seem to find any conclusive true predictions which have come true. One which maybe a definite hit is the Tsunami however; I still don't buy into it.

Regardless of what you may believe there is in fact many who feel the luminous cloud which has covered our world. People's views, religion, trust and nature are changing all around us and that my friends was predicted by the Hopi, Mayans and the Holy Bible. How do they all tie in? I leave it up to you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

For now, I know the balance is in a see-saw stance with everyone and everything. We are questioning our spirituality, our purpose and most importantly we are questioning our priorities. Is 2012 the end? Hopefully the end of an era and the beginning of something truly extraordinary.
