Celebrity psychic Sylvia Browne now offers her equally inspiring and forbidding prophecies in this discussion about the future of humanity. Browne pays homage to many famous prophets, including Nostradamus, Madame Helena Blavatsky, and Edgar Cayce. She then explains how prophets glean information about the future. Not all prophets should be trusted, she warns. Browne lists ways to recognize a "false prophet," such as recognizing that "any prophet who claims to be infallible is a false prophet." On this front, Browne claims that her own accuracy rate is 87 to 90 percent. "Only God can truthfully claim 100 percent." Many of Browne's predictions include good news, such as the end of common cold by about 2009 or 2010. In approximately 2025 all but a few of the world's religions will join "forces and funds" for the good of humanity, creating numerous global interfaith "Healing Centers"--offering round the clock medical care, food, shelter and counseling. However, around 2020, there also seems to be a serious reckoning with global pollution that coincides with a collapse of many long-term institutions, including the end of the "one-man" presidency, the end of the stock market, and the ending of marriage as a viable institution. Around this time, she also sees domed cities emerging in the U.S. in order to protect citizens from pollution—-an assertion that's been met with much skepticism. Reading between the lines, Browne sees a collapse in our economic, corporate, and religious structures in order to contend with the rampant pollution and human greed that are destroying the natural world. Maybe you don't need to be a gifted psychic to foresee this development, but Browne certainly offers a fascinatingly detailed account of how it will unfold over the next 50 years. --Gail Hudson


From AudioFile
Only time will tell if Sylvia Browne's visions hold water--appropriately enough, she predicts floods, earthquakes, and all manner of global, political, and scientific change through the coming decades and centuries. The producers wisely recruited the charming and affable Jeannie Hackett to narrate for the seer, whose gravelly and heavily accented voice can be a distraction, despite the intriguing content of her work. Hackett's lilting tones teach the fundamentals of how prophecy works and unfold some elaborate visions. Listeners also learn about some legendary prophets, from Nostradamus to "the sleeping prophet," Edgar Cayce, and how accurate they have turned out to be.

FROM THE CRITICS

Publishers Weekly

Bestselling professional psychic Browne (The Other Side and Back) offers comfort and hope in this articulate guide to the future, which starts by placing the prophetic tradition firmly in the spiritual mainstream of Christianity, Islam and Native American religions (given rather a New Age spin here). After discussing such notable past prophets as Helena Blavatsky and Edgar Cayce, she locates the source of prophecy in what she calls the Other Side, the place from which Spirit Guides (hers is named Francine) bring their messages. In the most absorbing part of the book, her own prophecies range widely and often reach far beyond verified scientific fact. Extraterrestrials, aura scanners and the greenhouse effect heating up earth's interior are cases in point. On the other hand, many of her prophecies in the areas of science, technology and medicine are sound futurology, even if she shows a bit of a law-and-order attitude. (By 2020 or so, those elected to the U.S. Senate will have to submit to "weekly drug and alcohol screens.") At the same time, Browne's vision of several generations of communal marriages to save children from the divorce rate and of healing centers to bring all faiths together are radical, innovative and humane. In the end, all readers, even those skeptical of specific forecasts, can applaud the author for her strong spirituality.
