The ''sleeping prophet," Edgar Cayce, was known as both a healer and a prophet. His Association of Research and Enlightenment was located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, because his followers believe the area is least likely to be affected by the drastic events that Cayce predicted for the years surrounding 2000.
Cayce's predictions include massive seismic disruptions, hurricanes, floods, and other climactic changes. He claimed that sections of New York City, as well as huge chunks of California, would simply drop into the ocean. He also described the planet's axis shifting wildly. Understandably, the world would be sent into a time of crisis and disarray, which would eventually transform into a "new age." During this era, he claimed that telepathy and other forms of psychic communication would become common ways of communicating.

Of course, there are more prophets who we haven't touched on here, but you get the picture. The bad news is: Terrible upheaval seems to be what's in store, according to just about all of these psychic seers. The good news is: A blissful new age will ensue. And there's more good news, too: Predictions aren't set in stone.
Exploring prophecies and practicing divination can easily become a favorite pastime. It's certainly fun to speculate, but beware of obsessing. For one thing, predictions don't have to come true if you take action. Rather than fearing what doom may come, make a plan for where to start making changes today. That's a much more productive use of your time and energy.
Nurturing Psychic Ability
We recommend covering the odds. Whether drastic changes come or whether we can avoid them, the necessary survival skills are probably the same: flexibility, self-awareness, cooperation, andthe thing that aids and enhances all of these other abilitiesintuition.
Certainly, these skills are necessary to creating the enormous social and personal changes that would forestall an environmental and economic disaster. And if such a terrible fate were to ensue, they could be equally important as survival mechanisms.
Imagine a world where suddenly no one knew what to do. Everybody was in the same boat, trying to discover lost knowledge, learn new methods for doing things, test their own limits, and understand each other well enough to work together efficiently. That could be the predicament some people face in the new millennium. But it's also the situation that everyone faces now.
