Saint Germain's Prophecy For The New Millennium (1999), by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, "includes dramatic prophecies from Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, and Mother Mary," as well as the channeled spirit being known as "Saint Germain." This book offers valuable insights about the nature of karma, the opportunity represented by prophecies, and the astrological influences that will dominate our planetary system during the next two decades. Prophet also offers spiritual techniques that "will help you shape the future you want."

The Archaic Revival (1991), by Terence McKenna, contains "Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFO's, Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History." The book features McKenna, the pioneer of higher consciousness, in a series of interviews where his Irish gift for gab can reign unchecked. Of particular interest to the present course are McKenna's insights into the coming Eschaton or End of the World, scheduled to occur in 2012 A.D.

Apocalypse Now (1988), by Peter Roche de Coppens, turns the conventional concept of Armageddon on its head. Peter shows how Biblical prophecies can be interpreted metaphorically and used as tools for individual Initiation and spiritual awakening. This book is highly recommended for all students who wish to completely experience and integrate the information contained in the present course. It contains a wealth of exercises and meditations that assist the seeker in the process of consciousness transformation represented by the metaphors of the "Apocalypse," the "Second Coming of Christ," and the "Resurrection" that follows "Judgment Day."

The Oracles Of Nostradamus (1891), by Charles A. Ward, is the original masterwork on the famous French prophet and sets the standard by which all later books on Nostradamus must be judged. Ward offers a wealth of detail concerning every aspect of the prophecies and their author. Though the modern reader may find Ward's prose a bit dense, this book puts most of the present-day books on this subject to utter shame. Prophecies are examined in the light of several centuries of history, showing the uncanny accuracy of so many prophetic quatrains that even the most skeptical reader will be hard pressed to deny that Nostradamus possessed precognitive powers that far exceed those displayed by any other figure in modern history.
