Nature has its own way of adjusting and repairing itself. Whatever and whoever did the damage, it will be on us to adjust and live with the only thing that is constant on Earth: change.Whether we like it or not, whoever and wherever we are, there is no escape from the reality of the change we call disaster.

I have received many inquiries about the authenticity of one prediction that is now currently circulating in the Internet and text messaging. The prediction states that an Earthquake of around 8.1 in intensity would occur on exactly July 18, 2008, specifically in the Philippines. The prediction was made by a Brazilian psychic, who is said to have predicted successfully almost all major disasters and other doomsday scenarios that had transpired in the past several years. Said psychic had released another set of predictions for the next several years, which included the one above.
Why? By logic, if a psychic was really good, everyone in the world would know who he is after just two accurate predictions of major events that he claimed to have seen way before the events occurred. Like psychics/seers here and abroad, majority are simply too good at grabbing attention by claiming to have predicted an event even before it actually happened. It is the easiest and most convenient thing to do; even ordinary people can claim predictions of major events after such events have transpired. For him to be credible, the psychic must have an authenticated concrete, hard evidence of having foreseen that particular event before it happened and not after the event.
This particular prediction caused quite a bit of panicky attention especially since we had several tectonic movements on two consecutive days last week. Everybody seemed to believe it then and were deeply concerned of that prediction coming true. Sadly, we tend to forget that the Philippines experience jolts of earthquakes on a regular basis, mild and major ones, it being a part of the Ring of Fire, the earthquake belt. That means our country is sitting on top of a big crack above the earth’s crust, the crack that goes down to the mantle where boiling magma is ready to explode anytime.
How visions come
How do psychics, visionaries or seers receive information of an impending event, a future occurrence? A vision of a scenario of the event may come anytime of the day. The ser can be fully awake, sleeping, dreaming, busy or meditating. To cite an example of an event seen psychically: sensing jolts and shaking, like watching TV or even a movie, the scenes flow of buildings and houses collapsing, people running, dying; fire everywhere., chaos and destruction all around. That is the vision, and then it is up to the psychic visionary to properly interpret.
The five Ws are used as focus to interpret the vision.
What is it all about? It can be an earthquake, war, collision with a planet or a comet or something to do with the cosmos. The psychic will then eliminate and opt for the most plausible event to occur based on the recall of the scenarios he had “seen.” In this example, an earthquake could be the cause.
Where will it be? This will be again based on the visions, the visuals of the structures present in the vision, the people, the vehicles and any other vital information that give clues to the place.
When will it happen? This is the hardest thing to predict. When I see visions, I give a minus-plus assessment for the occurrence of the predicted event. It is easy to tell if it’s day or night based on the vision, but the exact date is difficult to specify, unless you see a newspaper or billboard or other numerical sign and other vital clues indicating a date in your vision.
Who are the people involved? The casualties, as we may say they are, will be the faces seen in the vision. The faces and how they are dressed will give the clues. If one prominent person is involved, he or she may be seen or an identifying symbol and sign will give the clue.
‘Why’ is one question I won’t even dare answer. It is unethical because it is like questioning the wisdom of our Creator and judgmental on our part if we happen to agree that it could have been the casualties’ fate or their own doing/undoing.
Some predictions come in the form of messages through a voice from somewhere. This could contain specific and vital information of an event, people, places and time, thus making it clearer or more understable compared to visions that need interpretations. The only hitch with a message coming to a visionary this way is when you are not certain of the source. Spirits may pretend to be someone else and there are times the voice could even be a product of a very rich and creative imagination.
Sometimes, visions just come into our minds. Without any hint, we just know the things, events or scenarios of the possibilities future are laid out for us to “see.” Then again, it can be the product of our own imagination. Caution must be exercised and a keen awareness of our abilities must be constantly gauged and double-checked.
The only danger whenever we receive information or visions for predictions are when these messages come from playful or even mean spirits that could put us in a bad light or even place us in perilous situations. Psychics and visionaries must learn to tell the difference between good and bad vibrations, and divine voices from pretenders.
My mid-year predictions
1. Four strong typhoons will cross Luzon this year, which will render most of Metro Manila cities underwater.
2. Earthquakes will be mild and not destructive, contrary to the circulating prediction of July 18. Three of these may send people in a panic, but it not damage life and property.
3. Food shortages will still be felt by majority of the Filipinos and the government will still make money from this, and worse, will use this food shortage as their “heroic” act for giving masses cheaper food though government subsidized outlets.
4. A high-profile government official will pass away this year.
5. Several big companies will fold up due to the high cost of production.
6. Several young showbiz couples will enter married life.
7. Kidnappings in Mindanao by the same group of bandits may stop for a while, but will resume eventually, taking another hostage, possibly an Asian foreigner.
8. The best months for this year to start something positive and beneficial are September and October.
This is my own vibes and visions for the next half of the year. I received this information in a mixed way. How accurate? I do not know as of this time. But by the yearend, we will find out.
Have a good day!
