According to this book, the many Earth changes that were predicted in Cayce's psychic readings will be occuring soon (before the end of 2001). They will be due to the beginning of a shift in Earth's poles. Mr. Hutton believes that the poles cannot shift more than about 10 degrees, but that the mechanism of pole shift will be able to move units of the crust of the Earth up and down, to the point of causing parts of Atlantis to rise off the East coast and parts of Lemuria, another "lost continent," to rise in the Pacific. He refers to evidence from modern geology studies that indicate that both continents once existed. The author carefully documents Cayce's record of past successful predictions of Earth changes, including earthquakes in California. Some of the predictions sound extreme, by historical standards. But they are fascinating nonetheless. Imagine part of New York being submerged, San Francisco and Los Angeles destroyed, and the greater portion of Japan submerged beneath the Pacific. The spiritual answers to such events are treated also by Hutton in this interesting and informative book. One also is forced by Hutton to think about how we humans, as spritual beings who have fallen asleep in materiality, may be hastening our own demise here at the beginning of a new millennium, and what role esoteric teachings might have in our modifying the worst Earth change events.
