Hello Gaia man,

Do you have any views on the financial market issues currently happening.
Hope you had a nice holiday.

This thread is slowing down. almost to a stop. There is so much happening, some even related to your visions. It would be a waste that the thread will stop at some point.

All the best,

J-Man

Dear Soul,

Like I told a long time ago in this thread, there will
be a Market crash worldwide.
It will hit hard and lead to chaos and changings.
I already shared that with you.
Could it be the coming months?
Could be, I do not have the date.
But it is getting worse, and I do not think
this moment is far away.

China and Russia will make a move.
The US will see the dollar fall.
But it will have a worldwide impact.

Yes, the thread is slowing down.
Yes, there is a lot happening relating with my Visions.
Sometimes I think, don't they notice?

For me, I don't want to point to those things and say,
:" See, I told you already 2 years or 1 year ago".

Others are here to notice.
For me it is no problem.
I do not see this thread as a contest.
Yep, I know, I have many views.

Sometimes you have to slow down,
sit and think.
It should be part of your daily life.
But there are many who can't find the time.
Find the time, to put things clear for yourself.

Only after that you can find and keep balance.

At some point the thread will stop.
Yes.

Take Care..

Dear Gaia man, I have been reading and taking classes on the different forms of healing. I think it seems that we won't need to do the rituals of putting this hand here and there and using crystals and the like. Do you see a time where healing is just touching one spot, making your intention and then it just happens?

I really would appreciate any insight. Thanks. I don't want to be doing anything wrong or shortchanging people when I work on them.

We appreciate you by the way. :)

Welcome back Gaiaman,

Yes indeed, we are watching the world change in amazingly fast fashion as this subprime fiasco works its way through the world's financial system. It is very obvious, especially to those who watch the finance world, how utterly dependent our economy is - on the Central Banks' financial shenanigans and con jobs - which pass for "responsible stewardship". And all of this in order to maintain this silly consumerist economy that powers the global economic system. The slow collapse looks to be under way. The other GLP threads are documenting it step by step.

And China has started threatening to ditch the dollar - in response to amazingly obtuse threats from the US about tariffs. And with 1.3 TRILLION in reserves - they can do so singlehandedly. I don't see how Russia could have much of a dollar market impact though. But perhaps they will undercut the US in some other fashion.

Still thought that Syria would be invaded by the US by now, triggering an Iranian attack on US forces in Iraq - setting off the global Jihad. Is this still foreseen?

Dear Soul Gaia Man
Ich weiß Du verstehst meine Sprache, es tut mir auch leid für die übrigen, die sie nicht verstehen....
Aber ich muss dir diese frage stellen, weil sie mir sehr wichtig erscheint...und ich stelle sie in meiner Sprache, da ich sie besser beherrsche wie die Englische...verzeiht bitte!
Siehst Du etwas, was Ausserirdische Wesen angeht, da ich ein Traum hatte und ich dich dessen fragen muss, da ich wie Du weißt, dir sehr Vertraue...ohne ins Detail gehen zu müssen, oder auch wollen...bitte mein Freund, es ist mir sehr sehr Wichtig, siehst du etwas, was Ausserirdische Wesen angeht...denn dieser Traum oder auch diese Vision im Schlaf, hat mich bis jetzt nicht mehr losgelassen.
Kannst Du mir etwas darüber berichten....denn dein Wort ist mir nicht weniger Wert, wie meiné frage dessen?
Ich danke dir vom ganzen Herzen und hoffe sehr auf eine Antwort von dir....bitte versuche dich darauf einzustellen....denn während du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, wirst Du auch meine Seele berühren, aber das weißt du ebenso...versuche und berühre den meinen Traum!
Diejenigen die dieses nicht lesen können, bitte ich um Verständnis....aber vielleicht ist jemand so lieb, das er dieses Übersetzt, wenn es gefragt ist.....
Danke dir sehr mein Freund >Gaia Man< und ich hoffe wahrhaft auf eine Antwort von dir.
Wir sind verbunden ohne Zeit und Raum.
Liebe-Gesundheit-Frieden für Euch ALL-e

Dear Gaia Man, Olympics 2008, is being treated by China as a coming out party. In fact, you shared a vision about 2008 Olympics. But it feels as if a lot of significant events will take place between now and August 2008 and perhaps the games will be very different than what China visualizes. Travel to China might also be difficult by then and we will have a very active Hurricane and Typhoon season at that time. Also perhaps another war in the Middle East. Please share your current insight on this event.

Dear Soul,

Do not underestimate relations between these countries.
They have the same goals and joined in tactics.
Russia will seek more confrontation with the West.
Tensions with Nato will grow.

Together Russia and China will play their role in the Middle-East. Its a Silent but huge role.
What happens in the Middle-East is part of their bigger future policy view.
Yes, it is still foreseen on your last question by me. Escalation will come in the Middle-East!

Shanghai where you are, its role as a City in this is big!

The Games will be different than China visualizes, as they do today, yes.
The big march in the stadium at the opening, will see some flags missing, due to world conditions!
But the games will go on!
Watch the piano player!

 Quoting: Gaia Man


Hello Gaiaman:

Many, many thanks for answering my questions concerning the financial and geopolitical crises on the horizon. I'll venture to guess that the reason that Shanghai may be strong in your visions is because of the Shanghai Co-op (SCO)- which perfectly encapsulates your visions of China/Russian cooperation in the mideast and other areas. Here's a brief but recent snippet about it from the "Turkish Weekly" - ( [link to www.turkishweekly.net]

-------

"Is the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation the ‘rising beast in the East’? (Thursday , 23 August 2007)

"When Moscow and Beijing engineered the creation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) six years ago, I am not sure if they foresaw its emergence as an important actor in the international order.

Iran, India, Pakistan and Mongolia, currently observers, are lobbying hard to get accepted into this club. The US request for membership was rejected two years ago. A number of American scholars view the SCO as a challenge to Western interests. It has been described as an enigma, a security organization, a regional forum, an anti-terrorism coalition, and as a Russian and Chinese-led alliance created to counter US hegemony. Some have described it as the beginning of a new Warsaw Pact-type organization (or a “NATO of the East”). It seems that the SCO is set to play a major role in the emerging geo-political fault lines in the region, and indeed, in the world."
-----

...and here's another snippet about the Shanghai Coop from a financial website.
[link to www.321gold.com]
-----

"...Two other boxers are in the ring, rarely even mentioned in a military setting. The older boxer lurks behind the Iranian curtain when not donning European colors, unrecognized by the US intrepid lapdog press. The bear is in key respects every bit the counter-puncher. It is Russia, which is assembling a gigantic energy juggernaut as awesome as Japan's manufacturing powerhouse in the 1980 and 1990 decades. The younger boxer hides not at all, strutting its national bird in the urban crane and boasting of unprecedented growth. The dragon possesses wisdom in battle from ancient times (see Sun Tzu). It is China, which has assembled its own archipelago of industrial plants. Being the nexus of the new alliances, Iran thus stands as the quintessential prize fight location. The Shanghai Coop Organization receives painfully little open public attention or discussion, despite its growing importance. SCO represents in my view all the energy components of OPEC with all the security components in NATO, but with zero US involvement and thus zero US dominance."
-----

Here in Shanghai, locals and western expats are absolutely oblivious to what may be happening right in front of them in the very near future - everything is just fine...economy is booming and everybody gets along great. People REFUSE to see the storm clouds on the horizon. So, I make it a point for my band to always do CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" at our regular gigs - and substitute a few phrases in such as "subprime meltdown" just to slip some Reality in on them subliminally, but too little - too late, I think.

However, I am absolutely amazed at the forecasts coming from sober-minded but non-mainstream financial websites (financial sense online, safehaven.com), in that they are now closely matching the predictions on this thread. These people arrived at their predictions from the conventional "hard facts" world of financial research - where metaphysics is not tolerated, but also where if you stick your head in the sand concerning unpleasant facts - you lose big - as the mainstream herd is now finding out about their housing investments. The fact that relevant predictions in this thread are now being echoed by financial forecasters, should give all of us a good reason to start preparing in earnest, me included.

Sorry for the long post - but I just wanted to share some information that might shed some light on how and why this China/Russian prediction could be coming true very soon.

Best Regards,

Shanghai Expat

Re: The Future of your country?..ask and I will tell you,...
I have been watching this thread since it's beginning (I am the guy hosting the PDF), but these days my feelings about the times we're in are getting stronger and stronger. The felling feels like i am "burning" up inside, tick tock and it gets stronger. My head is pulsating more and more as well, especially before i fall asleep, as if someone is doing morse code in the middle of my forehead.

Reading this thread again, i feel as if we are all waiting for the big kickoff, a signal, a huge change that takes place overnight, but i worry that we cannot see the forest for the trees that are in the way. I think Gaia Man here has been trying to tell us that no such thing is going to occur, instead things will reveal itself in small dozes, and not all at once.

One thing that i am quite certain of is that if you read this thread, it's really time to start thinking about your personal economy. Do not take new loans, try to clear off as much debt as you can before the crash and start planning for when the power is turned off. Find an exit route for where you are now soon, both financially and physically. The coming winter will be hard. This is just my gut feeling. Personally, my own debts worry me, but until i realize that it's time to sell, it will be already too late as no one will be able to buy what i am selling.Perhaps it's time to sell what you don't need, and i think it is time to do it now.

Can you elaborate more on this Gaia Man?

In April, i was trying to arrange for some house renovation to fix a few things that aren't in order. To finance this, i contacted my bank to arrange the loan. With house prices through the roof, everything was ok. All i need to do is to sign the papers.
Since then, i have been hindered in all aspects in getting this done - Carpenter getting sick, firms doing the "digging" not being able to until next year, things that i have needed in stores either being out of stock etc - Maybe it is just a coincidence, but "someone" is trying to tell me that i shouldn't go through with this.

Perhaps it's just paranoia kicking in, but i am starting to listen to my stomach and i think i am going to start preparing really really soon now.

Can you elaborate more on this Gaia Man? Will there be an event happening that is so clear to everyone what is coming?

last days i can only count 6 months to be prepared.

Prepare for what? i don´t know, maybe prepare for what GM say soo many times.


We don´t need to have a super brain to see it, just join the small parts to get the big one, it is there clear to see.

GM, maybe people don´t talk about the things you say in the pass, but i´m shore that many didn´t forget it, they maybe just don´t want to talk about it.

Giaiman, thankyou for being so consistent and posting at GLP for years, despite some people being ignorant and disrespectful toward your gifted visions and responses at times. For years you have made many, many accurate predictions at this site which is truly amazing and a great credit to you.

Future timelines are very hard to pin down, as many great intuitives know, and your symbolic visions may have meaning which is difficult to grasp until the event occurs, which some may not understand.

Do you think it's possible that your Shanghai feelings could be related to an economic crisis beginning in China which could spread to the world?

Also - can I ask you what you feel is the significance of the lunar eclipse today/tonight?

Thankyou again for having the courage to keep posting your predictions at GLP and please keep up the good work :o)

Dear Soul,

Sometimes I hesitate to write some things because,
I do not always know how to describe a "incoming signal"
When the Tsunami in Asia happened, a week before I got
a very strange signal coming in.
It felt not good, but I could not give a meaning to it.
A week later the Tsunami happened.

Since that, I never had that same signal again!
Until 6 days ago!
The same signal came in.
Again I can not tell you what it means, but it is the same
signal or feeling. I am very worried about this now for a few days. It could be a big event is very near.

I did not know that there is a lunar eclipse over the Pacific Ocean today.
I hope, the signal I received has nothing to do with this
location, and lead to a big earthquake or Tsunami.
I just don't know to be precise.
But it makes me think.

Take Care..

Aurigid Meteor Shower Peaks September 1

By Joe Rao
SPACE.com Skywatching Columnist
posted: 17 August 2007
06:19 am ET


The Perseid meteor shower has come and gone, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any more good meteor displays to look forward to. In fact, another potentially good shower is just around the corner, scheduled to reach its peak during the early hours of Saturday, September 1st: the Aurigid meteors.

The Aurigids get their name from the constellation of Auriga, the Charioteer. The meteors appear to emanate from a spot in the sky near the bright yellowish star Capella in Auriga. The Aurigids, however, are rarely mentioned in most astronomy guidebooks because they are hardly worth mentioning in any given year.

Then why bother about a shower that almost nobody has heard of and that's due this year just days after a bright full moon?

Because in 2007, these unheralded Aurigids are this summer's wild card.

Unlike the steady and reliable Perseids, little or no activity is usually seen from the Aurigids. Yet, every once in a great while a short-lived outburst of bright meteors has been reported from the Aurigid shower. Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center has recently shown that these rare outbursts of Aurigid activity were caused by a comet which ejected a trail of dust that very occasionally wanders into the Earth's path.

Outburst in 2007?

Aurigid outbursts are very infrequent, having been definitively seen on only three occasions: in 1935, 1986 and 1994. There were very few witnesses on each occasion, because these sudden outbursts were totally unexpected.

But now, for the first time, an alert for an impending Aurigid outburst has been issued.

At the 26th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union Conference held last August in Prague, Czech Republic, Jenniskens announced that the Aurigids would likely produce another round of unusual meteor activity on September 1 of this year. This forecast is based on calculations made by Jenniskens and colleague Jérémie Vaubaillon of Caltech, and on earlier work in collaboration with amateur astronomer Esko Lyytinen of Finland.

The comet responsible for the Aurigids is well known: Comet Kiess, which last appeared in 1911. In carefully examining its movements, the meteor scientists have determined that prior to 1911, this comet previously swept passed the sun sometime around the year 82 BC (when Julius Caesar was alive). Jenniskens and Vaubaillon calculated that a trail of dust released by the comet at that 82 BC visit will run smack into Earth's path when our planet passes by on September 1.

Far-western states favored

On Saturday morning, September 1st, in the hour centered on about 11:37 UT, Earth should encounter the trail of dust released from Comet Kiess.

That moment (4:37 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time) favors the far-western parts of the United States, where the constellation Auriga will be about two-thirds up in the northeast sky around the time morning twilight begins. If you live in Portland, San Francisco or Los Angeles, you'll be in perfect position to view the meteors.

Hawaii (1:37 a.m.) and Alaska (2:37 a.m.) will also be in darkness when the Aurigids arrive, although Auriga will appear much closer to the northeast horizon. Like the previous outbursts, the upcoming display is expected to be short-lived: probably lasting no more than an hour or so at most.

Unfortunately, most of the rest of North America will be out of luck: either bathed in bright twilight or daylight when the dust trail arrives.

Jenniskens and Vaubaillon are forecasting a ZHR (zenithal hourly rate – the number of meteors seen by a single observer under a clear, dark sky with the meteors' emanation point directly overhead) of 200. Their outlook is very similar to Esko Lyytinen, who predicts a ZHR of 300, but with an added uncertainty of 1 to 3. Notes Lyytinen, "This would mean something between about 100 and 1,000. Let's hope this will be around 1,000!"

There is, however, a significant drawback: a bright gibbous moon will be lighting up the sky on the morning of the shower.

But because the Aurigids ram through our atmosphere at exceptionally high speeds of 41 miles per second (66 kps), and since these particles are predicted to be rather large, the display is expected to be rich in bright meteors, with many appearing as bright as the brightest stars and a few perhaps approaching or even rivaling Jupiter and Venus. "So," says Jenniskens, "the moon probably won't dim much of the display."

Probably the safest bet is to play it conservative and forecast a rate of perhaps only 20 to 30 per hour, which is what was observed during the three previous Aurigid outbursts. But if those meteors are as bright as the calculations suggest they will be, it could still be a memorable – albeit brief show.

Dear Gaia Man!

Thanks for your kind and useful work!
The kind friend, tell, whether there will come on our planet time of mercy, kindness, validity, harmony? Or our planet is created for struggle of the person between kindness and a harm?
What countries will support "evil"?
Russia will help « LIGHT FORCES » or « DARK FORCES »?
Where force of "KINDNESS" will start to arise?

Can, the person alone should struggle with a "evil"?
When there will be in the person a force for a victory?

Hello Gaia Man
Hello All

Can you tell us about the Lands Of Light/Guide Countries?
In what they consist (relatively to its function and meaning), what can we expect to see from those and what those living there may expect to experience?
In sum, what really are those places?
Just safe places or is more about that?

Thank you
