As. Alschuler, WHEN PROPHECY SUCCEEDS - PLANETARY VISIONS NEAR-DEATH AND COLLECTIVE PSYCHOKINESIS, Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, 90(4), 1996, pp. 292-311
Planetary visions seen in prolonged near-death experiences from 1950 t
o 1980 consistently predicted an escalation of natural and human disas
ters reaching a peak around 1988. At that time, either there would be
an apocalypse, or it could be postponed if human beings increased thei
r love of God, other people, and the Earth itself. Positive geopolitic
al shifts and increases in long range trends in global care correlate
with decreases in long range trends in disastrous weather, each changi
ng around 1988. I examine this apparently successful precognitive pred
iction of collective psychokinesis (a possible form of macro-PK) from
several perspectives. First, I review the history of apocalyptic proph
ecy to identify what is new and different about this source of prophec
y. Second, I critique the supporting data for precision, completeness,
reliability, and validity. Third, I suggest additional ways to test t
his form of precognitive prediction and the possibility of collective
psychokinesis.
