The Future is Now

My friend forwarded this email to us this morning which contains the future predictions of a Brazilian. He, apparently, had predicted the 9/11 and Tsunami that rocked the world (literally) on December 26th, 2004.

As I was reading the article here, I started calculating my age and that when I reached 66 yo (and still alive), there would only leave 20% of human race on planet earth and if all his predictions are accurate, Japan will be submerged in water and California is no longer the happy, sunny state it is presently.

Yes. It is more terrifying than "The Day after Tomorrow".


..............................

Mr. Juseleeno, born in 1960(reportedly still alive in 2008), is a Brazilian who has made many predictions, and MOST have come to pass, including Princess Diana's death by car accident (which is instigated by someone near her and will probably unfortunately be written off as a car accident), 911 and the 2004 Indonesian tsunami.

He sees the future in his dreams, and has an average of 3 to 9 such predictions per day. When he wakes up, he will write them down, and send warnings to those concerned. If it concerns only a normal individual, he will write a letter to warn him/her. If it is a famous person(celebrity, politician etc.), or matters concerning the public, he will not only send it to the individual himself/herself, but also related agencies, government, and media. He urged the media to publicise these predictions, but the reply always went along the lines of rejection for fear of arousing public panic.

Future predictions:

2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan , which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus meters high to occur as well.

2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 meters to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people. Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted.

2008, 17th December: Terrorist attack in America

2010: The temperatures in some countries of Africa could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius, and there will be a serious shortage of water.

2010, 15th June: The New York Stock Exchange market will fail, causing an international financial crisis.

2011: The research on the treatment of some cancers will be completed, but a new life-threatening virus will appear. People who are infected will die after only approx. 4 hours of coming into contact with the virus.

2013, 1st – 25th November: Research on treatment of cancers, except for brain tumors, will be completed. An earthquake, caused by volcanic eruptions, will happen on Bahamas Island of the Canary Islands . A gigantic tsunami of roughly 150 meters will result. America mainlands, Brazil etc. will be affected, with the tsunami pushing into the land as far as 15 to 20 kilometers. Before the occurrence of this gigantic tsunami, the sea/ocean water levels will sink by about 6 meters, and large flocks of birds will start to migrate.

2014: A small planet that has been gradually closing in on Earth might eventually collide with Earth, and this collision, if come to pass, will affect the survival of humans as a whole.

2015: By the mid of November, the average temperature of Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius. Many people will die from the overheat, and international confusion and terror ensues.

2016, April: A huge typhoon will invade China , causing massive damage. The 43rd USA president, George Walker Bush, will enter the hospital, and faces a life or death situation.

2026, July: A super earthquake will occur in Sans Francisco, and it will be named "The Big One". Huge damage to surrounding areas. Many volcanoes will re-activate, and the height of resulting tsunami will be more than 150 meters.

Mr. Juseleeno made known his predictions in hopes that people will take heed of his warnings, so that these disasters may be avoided. He hopes there will be a major change in the thinking of people's mindsets in the time period 2007 – 2008. One factor will be the environmental issue of global warming, which is more serious than what some meteorologists assume.

I am not instigating fears but merely sharing it with everyone especially when we know there is still hope if we do not give it all up. An excerpt from the blog said that from the Buddhist point of view, awareness of such predictions can have a sub-conscious influence on the course of future events. Our physical environment is intimtely connected to not only our actions but also our thoughts.

Having said that, I think thoughts can become things. So, let's try to turn it around by thinking positive and acting positive. Start today for tomorrow maybe?

A friend who is based in BKK visited a photography exhibition recently by Mr. Yann Arthus Bertrand - a well known photog who takes pictures from aerial view around the world simply known as "Earth From Above".

I googled Mr. Bertrand and discovered that his work is truly amazing. So good can cry kind :) Most importantly, quoting my friend, "...the true meaning of his work brings awareness to the public. we can do our own part to save the earth. bring your own bag especially when doing grocery shopping, use less plastic bags..etc..small things doadd up :-) i read The Edge, an average Malaysian uses 15 plastic bagswhen doing grocery shopping!"
