7 Predictions For 2016

A part of me really resists making lists like this. I feel like maybe I'm ruining the surprise, somehow.

But hey, people seem very interested, and I am after all here to serve. So, here are my predictions for 2016:

1. Expect a much darker winter than usual here in Niagara. Go out and get a sun lamp for your home - it will do you a world of good.
2. We're going to see at least one plane disaster in North America due to poor maintenance. This will prompt a shift towards more stringent safety standards, which is unfortunate as the current standards were adequate and what was actually needed was an increased frequency of independent inspections. The budget for this will never be allocated.
3. Electric-powered cars will begin to rise in affordability and accessibility. They'll become a realistic option both practically and financially for the average consumer. People will still be heavily biased towards the familiar combustion engine, however, so expect only a minor shift in the market.
4. Here in the Niagara Region the summer heat is going to start earlier in the spring than usual, and we're in for a very humid and sweltering season. Worldwide, expect new weather records to be set for both heat and wind speeds.
5. A serious decrease in the amount of profit pulled out from the oil sands in western Canada will mark the beginning of an economic slow down in that area. The cost of oil will be too low, the cost of transportation will be too high, and more flooding this year will cause ecological disasters that nobody will want to put up with.
6. The next President of the United States will be Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders will be her Vice President, which he leverages to his advantage but prevents him from employing his more radical ideas. None of Clinton's policies will be of particular note compared to anyone else who might have been in the same position, but her fans will blow her victories out of proportion and her detractors will attack her with rabid vehemence. Expect her opponents to come up with some contrived and tedious fireworks in her second or third year.
7. The world economy continues its slow march forward as we struggle to return the world into one where we're not all broke all the time. Independent contractors, consultants, and entrepreneurs become a rapidly growing body and make up a significant portion of the new middle class, which is both liberating and isolating for those involved.

All Things Are Possible

Looking for an all-in-one enlightenment tool?Consider this phrase: "all things are possible." Attack this with your whole heart and your intuitive powers will skyrocket.

It's a difficult thing to truly accept. If you think it's easy, or that you even understand the phrase completely, you haven't given this notion the attention it deserves. You don't have to trust me on this, I'm about to prove it to you.

Before I continue though, I'd like to say that the following is both complex and, when truly contemplated, a bit disturbing. Please feel free to email me later if you'd like help working through some of what follows.

Now, give it another few moments:

DIVINATION: Finding Your Path

Today as I prayed and meditated the above title appeared in my mind, in that place where Divine direction appears. The tone of the message was different than usual. Often I feel like I'm being "pushed" by Inspiration to do something, but this time it was just presented as a gift. "Here, have this, and enjoy it if you'd like."

Well now. It appears I finally have permission to publish a book... and it couldn't be on a more perfect subject.

Now I draw to myself the resources I've collected over the years, from gigabytes of online articles to my boxes of moldy out-of-print tomes about the subtle arts of divination. For centuries mankind has sought knowledge beyond time, space and meaning, and now I will call their names. They are the Runes of the ancient northern cultures, Tarot of the European nations, and Palmistry of the Vedics and of the Hermetics. Astrology, Tea Leaves, Bone Casting,
