The memories slowly faded throughout the months after we were immersed in Sedona's magic. My mind, like a colorful scrapbook, continuously reviewed the mystery of each precious day spent there. But something was missing. I had the uneasy feeling that complete closure had not yet taken place. What could it be? Was another trip on the agenda? Had we missed some information? For the life of me, I couldn't shake that eerie, heavy energy.

It was the middle of the night. Sleep had evaded me, as my mind relayed the events of our three trips. Suddenly...BANG!...a loud cracking sound above my head jolted me back to the present. It was a noise so loud I couldn't ignore the butterflies in my solar plexus. My digital clock...once again...showed 3:33 a.m. I sensed somthing very unusual was about to make it's presence known. The feeling was desperate and intense.

As I checked in with my guidance to validate the level of positive energy, I learned only that I would have to knuckle down, pay attention,and respond accordingly.

Just then, a distant voice instructed me. "Remain awake. You must record the narrative regarding the future of the Earth."

"But I'm frightened of what you might tell me." My thoughts raced to many others who had predicted doom and destruction. Then Rojo's familiar lyrical voice entered my consciousness to offer reassurance. "I am here. I am here. Earthwatcher wishes to tell the people about their future."

It was becomming an imaginative chess match and checkmate had just been declared. It seemed I had no choice but to grope my way to the computer through the darkness of the early morning.

"But Rojo," I protested, "I thought you would be telling me about the future.

The friendly voice peeked through again. "I will be with you as the messages come, but it is not for me to say. Don't be afraid. Earthwatcher is wiser and much more knowing than even the rocks and all the other consciousnesses of this planet."

I could feel my resistance begin to set in, for the vibrations of this entity were serious and condescending. This was not going to be a comfy fireside chat. "All right, Earthwatcher, I'm ready. What can you tell me?"

The voice of the elder came through loud and clear. "I will tell you the outcome of this world in which you live, even if you do not welcome my words. The future, my seer, is one of a sunless sky and a barren plain. The mountains, trees, and oceans will cease to exist. It has already begun- the deionization of your planet by electricity and other waves of energy brought into the environment by greedy men who are planning to live in the the sky and not on the land.

"The places in which man will reside in the future world will emulate those thoughts of your science fiction writers. Man will have forgotten his fellow man and will live by and with the machines he has created. Little contact of the physical kind will disrupt his relationships, and fear of inimacy will be your next disease process.

"Domed cities will block the decay and dying of the plant, animal, and mineral life, long replaced by artificial means and forgotten, like fruit rotting on the vine.

"The money changers of the world will control the minds of most people, except those who choose not to conform. These rebels wil be forced to live upon the dying rocks and the sinking ocean.

"Man will look for other planets to colonize, and once again your world will return to dust and your people will no longer know one another.

"Artificial intelligence will be in charge of even the gene pools of brothers and sisters, and one will no longer know the stories of previous generations. The great stories of the Earth will be wiped away with the flick of a switch or the push of a button, and you shall not know your brother.

"You will all appear perfect, and you will never be accepted by another unless you have the "proper" genetic structures. Beauty of the physical self will be the medicine of the future and those who do not look equal will have artificial features provided through technology.

"It will no longer be a world of kindness and understanding, but one of like kind. The ability to get close and touch one another will be reserved only for the affluent. They may not even choose to communicate for fear of contamination.

"Zones will exist throughout the world and you may never ever leave your dwelling, let alone know what the outside of the planet looks like. Your travels will be artificially provided and all will be locked into non-truth.

"The wheels of the great plan to deceive the beings who are in human form are already in motion, sucked in by a giant whirpool of tempting gadgets, appliances, and devices.

"The allure of more free time and less costly means of support will be everywhere, even on the lips of your offspring. Children will be a rare commodity and the population will be strictly enforced. Man will lose his desire to be mother and father, and by doing so will lose the most precious part of himself--the ability to love.

"Get all you can before it's gone' will be the slogan of the conglomerates, too many for you to even know who they are. Individual freedom will be a thing of the past, and crime will equal its punishment to the extreme.

"The wandering spirits of the Earth will help to destroy the atmosphere by causing nature to evoke destruction, and the angels will no longer be seen. The ageless spirits of the Earth--sun, moon, and sky--will cry for each other, and mankind shall not remember their names.

"The animals will leave the planet first, through disease and eventually extinction, and the insects will devour the food supply.

"Great famine shall rid the Earth of those who are feeble or penniless, and the multitudes will call it "nature's way" and will not tell the truth of the collusion of the money changers to make it so.

"The rivers will no longer supply the water or the fish. They will be dry and lost to the desert where plant life can no longer flourish to sustain the many.

"There will be great rumors of destruction from the sky, evoked by those in power to keep the human race inside so they do not witness the putrefacation of their surroundings. The ones who live in the sky will be born there and know nothing of the world of their ancestors.

"And what of the day and night? The nights will grow longer due to pollutants and the destruction caused by harmful rays to the protective layers of the atmosphere. Man will cry out for the coolness of the night, and the moneychangers will make it so.

"Life will begin in the sterile dishes you now use for helping life take form, and co-creation will no longer be necessary. When this happens, self destruction is the ultimate outcome.

"This is where your beautiful planet is headed if you do not change your own minds and take care of the future. Do no ask how to do this. Let your hearts be your guide. Stand up for what is the truth and do not forget to look the other way when the moneychangers dangle and twinkle their wares before you. Let them go on by, for your world's soul is at stake.

" Did you not know that your world has a soul? It has a heart and mind as well. It is your great brother and sister, mother and father, made in the image of your own true self. Honor yourselves so that you may honor the World, the Universe, and The Great Forever.

"Go in peace, honor, and light. The love is yours to keep or dispose of, depending upon your sacred will. But have the will to at least choose.

"In your thoughts and dreams, Earthwatcher."
