To give us yet another perspective of this time, Vernon Mahabal, director of the Planetary Palmistry institute in Oakland, California, gives us his appraisal. Vernon has studied thousands of people's palms from all over the world for many years, and he's found some very interesting correlations. Although an exact day is not evident, mid August 1999 appears to be the beginning of major changes in people's lives. He sees a time of great family turmoil and upheaval, geographical changes and mass migrations.

People will begin to seek spiritual solutions to material challenges. They will learn to penetrate into the hidden underlying causes behind events. There's a quality of respiritualization and the return of a personal experience of God. This includes an essential, direct relationship with a God who is a sentient being rather than a distant abstraction. When this many self similar patterns show up from such a variety of completely unrelated disciplines, a good indigenous scientist will tell you something's going on.
