As we head into the year 2004, we are taking the first vital steps into a 10-year journey that will completely change the way in which we see ourselves, and the way we see one another. In this cycle, we will all come to terms with the truth of our reality opposed to what, heretofore, we have believed was our reality. 

Increased awareness regarding the vast mysteries of space will take precedence as we discover that we are not alone, and have never been. With breakthroughs in science and math, the existence of both extra and inter-dimensional life will become indisputable. In the early stages of this next decade, we will encounter many things that will serve to inspire us. However, we will also be forced to confront many things we might consider upsetting or even frightening! 

We need to remember we were chosen to come and be a part of this great adventure we call, life. We also chose to come believing that each one of us could make a difference. We chose to be born at this time. Also know that together we have the ability to change reality. Collectively, we can change those events just waiting in the wings for their moment in the global spot-light. 

No matter what the appearance of things, we are not lost and faltering. We need to trust that all is unfolding according to Divine Order. By paying particular attention to the subtle changes in our own heart, thoughts and actions, we can better understand and be spiritually empowered to face the coming years.

Politics and War: 
The Middle East will become even hotter. The war in Iraq will escalate, taking more and more lives with no end in site and the cost of the war doubling or possibly tripling. 

Afghanistan will become the #1 producer of heroin in the world under the American occupation. 

The Israeli and Palestinian conflict will remain tragic and steady. 

By the end of 2004, the country Jordan will begin to trade land for water. This will mark the beginning of the end for Jordan. 

One of the most important things to watch for will be China’s role in the Middle East. 

We will come to clearly see how Russia and China have been competing for control of this area for quite some time. 

The cost of pure heroin in American will decline by 60% in the year 2004, making it a drug of choice among Americans once again, just as it was during the Viet Nam era. The consequences of this will be staggering. Higher crime rates, gang wars, increase in prison population, and more taxes for us all!

The Economy:
 In the first few months of the New Year, the world’s economy will be basically flat and losing ground with only sporadic spurts of growth. The United States economy will remain pretty level due to the fact that we have been programmed to believe that we can burrow our way out of the mess we find ourselves in.

 There will be pockets of opportunity in the Health Care fields, in services, jobs and manufacturing. The Military will also offer these same opportunities for employment and career advancements. Any company who provides the Military with services will avail the highest opportunities for employment during 2004.

The Environment: 
The global melting of the ice caps will cause sea levels to rise, and major flooding to become headlines on a regular basis. The Pacific Rim will be subject to many earthquakes and tremors. Pay particular attention to Japan and China. Natural disaster will mark the next 10 years as never before.

Health:
 Science and spirituality will merge, and together will create a dramatic shift in how we deliver healthcare from 2004-2008. Prayer (willful conscious intent), spirituality, life-style changes and natural treatment centers will spear-head a consciousness movement to reclaim our health maintenance rather than handing it over to a system that just treats symptoms.

In the year 2004, we will see the rise of third party political groups which will have a positive effect on the two party system we have always endured. Government will be forced to stand for the people more and more as these third parties gain in popularity and strength.

A revolution will start to rumble as energetic medicine inches toward the spotlight in healthcare. The acceptance of the mind-body-spirit connection remains in its infancy yet, it is beginning to take a definite hold. Through the study of quantum physics will be able to understand the power and place that prayer has in the art of healing.
