Every year at this time, visionaries come forward with predictions and speculations about what lies ahead. I have always enjoyed reading the January predictions, and like to consider what could possibly be in the future. I subscribe to the idea that we create our own realities, and believe that by "seeing" ahead, it's possible to manifest that very thing, or to avert it, if necessary.

In the past year I've become better acquainted with my spirit guide, through the use of a pendulum. Through diligent practice, I've learned to place myself into a meditative frame of mind when I work with my pendulum, and I've received reassurance and guidance from the information.

The Brotherhood of Light through Edna G. Frankel

Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. We are focusing on the year 2008 and scanning potential futures that are occurring all at once. There have been many different predictions about the rising energies on planet Earth—what is happening, when it is happening, where and to whom it is happening. Many voices cry out, “It’s next year! No, it’s in two years! No, it’s right on schedule!” This is very tiring, don’t you think? As with trying to guess which day is a “portal day” and when is the best time to meditate to “get somewhere,” you have no idea where you’re going, right? [Chuckles.] Ah, children, the whole point is to enjoy the process, not to worry about it! The Earth has her own timetable and another five years of shifting to do before she reaches a new electromagnetic balance in the fullness of the photon belt.

This is more of a discussion on understanding predictions and readings, especially regarding the future.

Imagine it - Ordain it and it shall be

Good afternoon to you. It is wonderful to be in this position again, to be able to talk to the earth plane, in the part of its creation, in the part of the evolution that the earth plane finds itself in at this time. I have been asked to be with you today, to give a message or discuss the earth year that is ahead, the earth year of 2008. For we do not have a calendar time as you do on the earth plane. We do not have the cycles of time that you have on earth. We only live in the now. Time is like a circle for us – that’s how it could be related to on the earth plane. A circle where there is no start and finish, it just happens as it happens. Just the presence of the moment as all unfolds within the love and the light of the ultimate being of all that there is – the God that you know.

In the year 2008, more and more people will begin questioning things that they never questioned before. Individuals from all walks of life will be seeking new answers and to make sense of a nonsensical world.

For some people-who have been asleep to humanity's great current of change-a personal crisis in the not too distant future could be the catalyst to seriously question the status quo. The crisis could be anything from a grave health condition, a costly divorce, a house foreclosure, or a job loss. When the person begins questioning more deeply than before, and realizes how shaky the traditional means of support are, an opening is created to change course.

To be sure, such a person receiving this "wake up call" must act on the "call" in order to shift their circumstances. As part of that, they must choose a different path than the one they have been traveling.
