She agrees with the Regans that there’s no
sign of a major natural disaster in the works for B.C. But what is
likely to happen is increased stress and worry as people become more
aware of the likelihood of a big earthquake here in the future. She said
to expect attendance to rise at events such as earthquake preparedness
seminars.
“Another thing that I came up with: Mother Earth just spoke to us in a
big loud way. At some level people are aware of what we’re doing to the
planet.”
She said the tsunami and its worldwide response, which happened in late
2004, will spread over into this year and help create a sense of
connectedness like never before. While 2005 was supposed to be a year of
connecting with people in a meaningful way, the tsunami and its response
has simply accentuated a process that was already going to happen.
“I almost want to call it naval gazing,” she said from Whistler. “We’ll
be more aware of ourselves – a looking inward not in a selfish way but
in a way that connects with other people.”
Many people, however, don’t believe in the predictions of psychics at
all – including members of organizations dedicated to debunking claims
of the paranormal.
Timothy Campbell, vice chair of Skeptics Canada, said he doesn’t believe
there are any genuine psychics.
“When I say I don’t believe there are any, I’m not saying there are
none,” he said from Toronto. “I’m saying there is no good evidence that
there are any.” |
