[Note we bold the visions that come true, with explanations.] Highlights for the coming year:

• This is a year of deepening financial, political, and environmental upheaval, fissures in a way of life that is beginning to crack open, although it will take decades to complete. We are the crab who’s outgrowing a shell.
• In March, Obama takes a strong stand, probably on gun control.  In April, we have a disturbing vision of the whole world being dazed and unable to comprehend the implications of some news.
• World and domestic financial problems erupt in April and deepen into the fall, beginning in Europe and then in the U.S.  In a reference to a seriously declining economy, one of our group said, “Save your silver!”
• In  spite of all this angst, we finish in April 2014 on an upbeat note. Troops are coming home from Afghanistan, half the states have approved gay marriage, and there’s a noticeable wave of love flowing through the collective.

Interpreting visions:

• Each line is a vision from a different person, presented just as he or she described it.
• We try not to provide much interpretation, which come from the rational, non intuitive part of the brain.
• Although some of the visions may seem vague or mundane, we only tend to see events that dominate the news. If we see a storm or tornado,  it’s not going to be just any storm or tornado but something big.
• Visions comes from our vantage point in the Boston area, hence some events, especially weather, might be local.
