If you crossed the writings of Ken Wilber and the prophecies of Nostradamus, you would probably end up with something close to The Ultimate Time Machine, a unique philosophical perspective on the nature of the past, present, and future. As a remote viewer with a respected record of accuracy and over 30 years of work with the United States government and in the private sector, McMoneagle is one of the most qualified people in the 20th century for predicting what the future may hold. While many readers will initially be attracted to the prophetic aspects of The Ultimate Time Machine, the most rewarding aspect of this book is McMoneagle's perception of time. For most of us, time is a tool for marking the events in our lives--what time is that business meeting? how old is he? when was the first wheel made?--but McMoneagle suggests that the future, and even the past, are not necessarily on the fixed, linear path that we think they are, but actually are connected in a flexible web that we continually influence with the ultimate time machines, ourselves. --Brian Patterson

10 years after the predictions their merrits are questionable.......2007-06-07
A book full of predictions is best judged after the "facts". In this respect its a 90% flop. Any future vision from 1998 that does not remotely perceive of 9/11 and the ensuing new american war in iraq is not worth the name. although mcmoneyagle predicts another war in iraq within a 5 year timespan from 1998 he describes it as local conflict between iran turkey and iraq fighting over the kurdish parts - and those parts where least affected by he "real" events. He is also frighteningly nationalistic. His coutry above all - in the light of the new american empire, internal reduction of democracy to an empty shell and Bush's stand against the Kyoto protocol a dangerously childish notion. I shows me that even insight from higher realms does not mean one learns from them. He writes in an entertaining way and the book is an easy read. the visions about mankinds beginings and the year 3000 are amusing, however in the light of the reliability of closer-to-home predicitons that are mostly all wrong their value is reduced to entertainment.
The Ultimate Time Machine.......2007-01-10
The book is a bit dated, but may provide some insight into the practice of remote viewing for purposes of military intelligence, if such a practice actually still exists. No revelations.
Lost me halfway through the book.......2005-12-18
After reading David Morehouse's Psychic Warrior and a couple of Russel Targ books and having an interest in remote viewing particularly in going ahead in years, I decided to try this book. I couldn't relate to how by remote viewing he could come up with such very extensive predictions. Even the very near future, seven years since he wrote the book, the predictions for this period were either far off or something that was already in the works in 1998 on the hits. The book was a great disappointment. I still believe in remote viewing but I think his imagination took over in his attempt at predicting the future in this book.
More entertaining than watching television.......2005-11-01
I can attest to the author's views, because I too have precognition, telepathy, and remote viewing ability. For example, right now I see the author counting his income from the book and laughing at the gullibility of new age readers.
Better Luck Next Time, RV Wiz-Boy.......2005-08-16
Hmm, he remotely viewed some very interesting things, none of them accurate except in the most broad and figurative sense, but somehow he missed 9/11, the most terrible attack ever by a foreign power on American soil. And how about last year's tsunami, the greatest natural disaster, in terms of loss of life, in modern history? Yeah, he must have just overlooked those little things because of pressing concerns like badly misguessing when the Pope might die.
If Remote Viewing is so effective, why do I see the U.S. Government still using expensive satellite technology, when paying Joe to sit in a darkened room with a pencil and paper would be so much cheaper? I'm sure not going into combat using Wiz-Boy Joe's Remote Viewing as reconnaissance.
Book Description
Do they know something you don't?
What lies in store for the world as the next millennium approaches? Will it be fire, famine, a world in chaos--or world peace, the eradication of hunger and disease, the coming of the fabled "Age of Aquarius" promising a paradise on earth?
Prophecies--are they the crazed musing of lunatics and madmen or the grim portents of doom form the lips of seers whose visions pierces the veil of time itself? Renowned prophecy expert John Hogue has collected a thousand such predictions for the days to come, as all humanity sits poised on the brink of a new millennium. Are we headed for Eden...or Armageddon?
Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, Krishnamurti, Ruth Montgomery, the biblical prophets, and more offer answers to the most urgent questions about the next thousand years.

Depressing & Bleak.......2003-10-05
I love this book. John Hogue really knows how to mess with your feelings about life, spirituality, and humanity in general. Excellent book; I've read it twelve times and now the librarians are beginning to know me by name.
Entertaining, but highly inaccurate.......2001-12-01
I felt the book was entertaining but that it was highly inaccurate and contradictory.
For example, it stated very blatantly that Al Gore will be our next president. Al Gore wasn't our next president.
This is just a small example of the many inaccuracies of the book.
My only recommendation is to only read the book for entertainment value and to not spend alot of money on it.
Presentation of a perennial mental infancy.......2001-08-23
If one glances on the grand visionary prophecies, the single trait becomes visible: they all, whether the author is known to the general public or not, speak about the beginning and the end of human destiny. What shall we deduce from that ? First, just a brief digression: it has always been something of a puzzle (at least for me) that Islam (save a few Koranic ayets) or Chinese tradition don't pay much attention to deciphering the end time. Of course, some, like Chinese or Japanese or, to some degree, Hindus, do not look at these things as symbols of compressed human condition. For them, the show goes on & on...forever. Why- they are too polite to ask. Or petrified....Never mind. So, let's cast a glance on Christian or Amerindian prophecies: they share the same "vision" of death & resurrection of the humanity. In short, they tell you: my friend, we're going to die, and, what's the best, to die in throes of moral & physical decadence (usually, wars & pollution go hand in hand to seal our destiny). Then, after some miraculous happenings (good ole Saoshyant, Messiah, whatever...appears on the scene), we will be transmogrified & divested of our infernal passions live happily ever after. We got death & rebirth & unspeakable post-resurrection life. When I consider these panoramic visions (not just tallying the events, like Nostradamus or Malachy), an agent-provocateur thought always strikes me as a lightning: why would this simplistic picture be accurate ? They speak of fulfillment of man's destiny in extremely fuzzy language. What about death ? Or other forms of life ? Or- why would the continuation of life in a body, that is, a restricted & "shackled in" existence be *the* happy end ? By the way: they also point to ancient "wisdom" teachings (ewww, I dislike this...). Summarily: if you stick to the cosmic law (call it tao, me, maat, logos,dharma... take your pick)- then you have Life. You are life in the greater tapestry of Life, which is the embodiment of the Law. Otherwise, if you err....well, my friend, you're doomed. There is something infantile in these narratives, at least for my taste.
A good compendium of thought and speculation.......2001-01-07
John Hogue's catchily titled _1000 for 2000_ has compiled a thousand prophecies for the future -- some from other people both ancient (Nostradamus) and modern (Edgar Cayce) and many others from Hogue himself. The book has been trashed by some people because it freely enters predictions without any limits on the credibility or possibility of the predictions entered within. But why must an author censor himself . . . or other people for that matter? Hogue never tries to imply that he believes all of these will come true; rather, he is collecting the ideas of various prophets into a single book, so that the reader can look at all the thought that's out there on the subject of the future.
Some of the prophecies listed are indeed unlikely, and others are very general and describe things that will inevitably happen and already have been happening (as #719: Baha'ullah's statement that "Soon the present-day order will be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead"). Especially amusing is that Hans Holzer "predicted" at #341 that "Important battles will take place in the Middle East. Europe will also be affected by war". The Middle East has had its most important wars in centuries lately, but hasn't Europe always been at war?
There are others, though, that show a remarkable wisdom and foresight for their days and age. At prophecy #37, Cheiro described in 1931 a future of global warming. At #789, Mother Shipton, as far back at 1561, realized that the androgynization of dress was to come: "And now a word in uncouth rhyme / Of what shall be in future time: / For in these wondrous far-off days / The women shall adopt a craze / To dress like men and trousers wear / And cut off their locks of hair". Many other nearby quotes came from peole who were able to know that women's equality and liberation was going to be inevitable, in times when it was unthinkable to more mediocre, average minds.
Interestingly, John Hogue himself stated as early as 1993 that "President Clinton will complete his final term, despite all attempts to unseat him" (prophecy #726). And just note the year the prophecy after that was made!
Looking at the prophecies on pages 133 and 134 about which is the one true religion that "will rule the new Heaven and Earth" gives the reader an amusing and perceptive look at just how ethnocentric and personally biased prophecies can be. Various Jewish prophets have formulated the thesis that "Only the Jews are the 'Chosen People' and only their faith will survive the holocaust. Jerusalem will be the religious capital of the world", while the theory of Sikh prophets has congealed that "Only Sikhs will survive the holocaust. I guess Jerusalem will move to Amritsar, Punjab". Any intelligent reader could obviously draw a message from the juxtaposition of predictions in that section; it would help him to see that skepticism is needed when observing blindly based prophecies. Conversely, there are also several Catholics themselves who see that the end of the papacy is coming near, and many of THEM are included in the book as well.
Hogue has come up with many ideas that are valuable in shaping the way people think. He notes: "Nostradamus horrified his readers when he said that someday kings would no longer rule the realm and mobs of peasants would be in power. We call this democracy". He devotes a section to several prophecies of his own that conservative followers of societal norms will be unnerved by: "Euthanasia accepted", "The end of race", "The end of places of worship". The book really makes people think.
And yet other prophecies provide wisdom in their own right, whether you believe them or not: #618 is G. I. Gurdjieff's 1920s declaration that "Even if only a hundred people remember themselves, the world can be saved". Osho states in #798 that "Unless you understand that the West is in urgent need of a new way of life, more and more outrageous reactions will be there around you, and you will be responsible for it". And just look at Osho's wit in prophecy #812!
Over hundreds of pages and prophecies, _1000 for 2000_ allows anyone to look at a thought-provoking and highly varied assortment of beliefs about the future, from many different sources and predictive methods, all gathered up into one place.
Fiction.......2000-10-04
Hogue knows how to cater to the gullibility of people. As a work of fiction it creates some excitement.

If you wonder what fantastic events the next millennium might hold, projections by the legendary French seer Nostradamus may hold the answers. Nostradamus is reputed to have had prophetic visions for the years 1555 through 3797, and according to many interpretations several of these visions have come to pass. This colorful book is full of predictions "fulfilled" and guesses as to what's coming as we round the year 2000. Pictures of real-life events and interesting historical snatches make Nostradamus a worthwhile read for skeptics as well as believers. And if Nostradamus's seership doesn't intrigue you, his sense of humor will: When a pack of grave robbers pried open his coffin in the year 1700 anticipating the fabled treasures thought to accompany prophets to doomsday, they found him treasureless, but wearing a gold medallion with the letters MDCC, the Latin equivalent of 1700. A man capable of posthumous practical jokes is bound to make you laugh at the coming millennium, even as his predictions scare you. --Courtenay Kehn
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Very Disappointed.......2006-07-05
I expected more information as to dates and specific predictions for the current time period. The book was very vague and seemed to be missing much. I would not suggest this book for reading.
Warplanes over the Americas.......2004-06-22
I am as skeptical of Nostradamus as anyone. I am not a believer in prophets or fortune tellers. I have also read the Mask of Nostradamus by the Amazing Randi.
I bought this bought out of curiousity. I find it a light read and not biased in that the author does state that some of Nostradamus' "prophecies" were vague.
But the one area as another reader pointed out that was way way too eerie to be believed is "Warplanes over the Americas"
One of the points that many people point out in discrediting Nostradamus is that no one even associated 9/11 before 9/11/01.
But in this book, the author takes a guess at what Nostradamus was saying. And he brings up New York City, "widespread" nuclear attack on the USA and then there is a picture of a burning building that could pass for the WTC (albeit there's only one building).
If you want to be creeped out, go read this part.
The rest of the book is very fluffy like reading an Olsen twins book. Not that I do of course. :)
911.......2002-03-14
the passage entitled "warplanes over the americas" is just too ironic to be ironic.. it DIRECTLY relates to 911... you must get this book.. its sooo interesting
Apologia for misintrepreted nonsense.......2001-09-25
Books crowing the 'successes' of Nostradamus' so-called predictions are invariably filled with alteration, misinterpretation, and wishful thinking--sort of like reading a fortune cookie or horoscope and retrofitting its message into ones' personal life. It's easy to take mysterious-sounding and confusingly-worded predictions and shoehorn them into some sort of future event. Liberal "reading" of the predictions (i.e. turning the syllables "pau-nay-oloron" into "Napoleon") can then make them sound incredibly accurate. Many poor researchers and Nostradamus apologists have done just this in feeble attempts to convince themselves and the world of the "accuracy" achieved by this legendary figure.
Nostradamus was not a seer, his predictions were not accurate, and only by the most amazing twists of logic and liberal "interpretation" of the quatrains can anyone suggest otherwise. Save your money, buy James Randi's _The Mask of Nostradamus_ instead, and learn something.
A great book for predictions.......2001-09-24
I saw a TV show about 6 months ago on Nostradamus and was very interested in the whole idea that someone who lived so long ago could predict things so far into the future. This book brings to life his predictions and I strongly recommend it if you like a book thats extremely interesting and a little frightening. You can interpret how you like his "fulfilled" predictions, but whether you believe them or not, it is a book well worth reading.

How to understand, prepare, and give way to a new millennium.......2003-11-27
...that is what the title of this book should be. Anyone interested in finding everything there is to know about prophecies and the like is better off searching another book.
What this book does is present to the reader Edgar Cayce's readings about the future, but that only covers about 20% percent of the book. The other 80% is spent on studying and interpreting Cayce's VIEW on the millennium and how that is what we should be concerned about. The author states that we should not only see the superficial (facts about the future) but also see and comprehend the reasons for the sudden changes that is about to immerge. Also, several psychological views on the world and the people in it are presented, which give way to a better understanding of what to expect in the coming years. A probable explanation of Cayce's mistakes concerning future events is also included along with several other sources for prophecies.
What gives this book its "lift" is the author's voice. Although this is my first book to read by this author, I must say with pure sincerity that this individual really knows what he's talking about. He doesn't just see but goes inside the topics and studies every aspects of it without disregarding other explanations that we now may not be aware of.
This book will not only present you with the facts but will also add a special perspective of the prophecies from intelligent sources. The only wrong thing about this book is its title, which is misleading. Aside from it, Millennium Prophecies is definitely worth your time, especially if you're looking for more than just the common interpretations found in most books dealing with the topic.

Noel Tyl - one of the biggest NON-prophets in history.......2007-01-14
This book isn't even worth using as toilet paper. Not even ONE of his "predictions" have come true. Most are laughable. A couple of these predictions, based on obvious outcomes that ANYONE could have predicted (like Charles and Princess Diana's divorce) and, in fact, have been predicted in the National Enquirer or other rag magazines -- which seem to be Noel Tyl's true source of information.
Get this:
- by September 2000 the UN will be no more.
- by November 1997 Pope John Paul II will "die a peaceful death"
- Pope John Paul II will be successed by "Pope Leo XIV"
- by August 2000 "Pope Leo XIV" will die a "premature death"
- Kim John Il will not lead North Korea
- by September 2004 North and South Korea will be unified
- Sweden, by social unrest, will be completely overhauled (whatever that means) by mid 2000
- The Deutsche Mark will become the European Union standard currency
Had enough? Want more?
It is worth reading if you want to laugh out loud at a nincompoop's attempt to be a 'seer'.

Drawing on the prophetic abilities of 102 sources, including Edgar Cayce, G.I. Gurdjieff, and Nostradamus, John Hogue has compiled the most comprehensive work to date on prescient visions. Beginning some eight thousand years B.C.E., and ending well into the 38th century, The Millennium Book of Prophecy covers aspects of the future--religion, politics, war, and natural disasters--a breadth unlikely to be topped any time soon. Hogue is a bit of a show-off, but legitimately so, demonstrating not only his vast knowledge of prophecy, but also his ability to synthesize a variety of information into a coherent commentary deftly. His wit is apparent in his religious and political commentaries that turn what could have been a dry encyclopedia into an engaging look at the future. --Brian Patterson
Book Description
The Millennium Book of Prophecy is the ultimate resource for millennialists and prophecy buffs of every stripe. This updated, all-text edition puts the fun, frightening and curious predictions of more than 100 of the world's most unnervingly accurate prophets and seers within easy reach. Collating thousands of visions and predictions, Hogue offers a fascinating record of what's come true, what's currently unfolding, and -- most important -- what may be in store for humankind in the year 2000 and just beyond.
Customer Reviews:
Almost a new category........2006-07-31
John Hogue is very good about not making excessive claims, and is actually quite naturally unassuming in his written and interview presentations. He shows he is a great researcher, clever thinker, and good communicator. His writing and opinions are based upon years seriously spent on integrating huge volumes of disparate stuff that interests just about everyone, but that is nearly impossible to access without his kind of dedicated effort.
There almost needs to be a new category to classify this book. It's something like a one-volume encyclopedia, but it is also a social lens on past and present events and on useful myths. I think of the various segments as objects in a toolbox, each having a potential use to give insight on a particular issue or event, even if some of the tools are not used in everyone's experiences.
The end is always near!.......2001-07-07
This book was really fun! I loved reading about all the impending death and destruction. As long as you don't get freaked out, it is a great read. I got to learn about other "Psychics" I never knew about and could research later. John really did a fantastic job in compiling all of this information. I love seeing him on TLC/Discovery.
Rock on John Hogue! King of Doom.
Excellent Read!.......2000-03-14
Creepy! Lots of these came true!
excellent reading!.......1999-03-17
This book makes you review your entire believe system many times and in many ways. I have read many books on prophecy and this is by far the best yet in my opinion! I have already reread it several times. Great work John Hogue!
An interesting and frightening book........1999-03-08
Hogue has quotes from dozens of prophets, old and new. Some are very familiar, such as Nostradamus and Cayce. But he also has included some very obscure references. The prophecies come from many sources - the ancient Oracles, the Bible, Native Americans. The picture he paints of the future of the world is frightening indeed. However, the last chapter does hint at some hope for mankind. A must read for anyone interested in prophecy or the coming Millennium.
Customer Reviews:
Fascinating!!.......2002-08-05
This book contains a lot of fascinating and leading-edge ideas from an array of amazing individuals. Because it's a series of interviews, it's easy to pick up and put down and read over again. I've given it to several (smart) friends over the years, and it's inspired me to read other works by and about some of the very interesting people and ideas discussed here... in a world that often seems awash with stupidity and brutality, this book offers the hope intelligence might actually still be evolving within our species.
Expose Yourself to a Dizzying Array of Minds - Read It!.......1999-04-27
This book is a wonderful introduction to the thoughts and philosophies of some of today's most radical thinkers. The interview format works well, as it allows for spontaneous insights from the interviewees. The subjects range from poets to scientists to cultural commentators (ie Terence McKenna), and the authors do a notably good job of revealing some common themes between all of their philosophies. If you want to know where the world is heading, read this book!

Customer Reviews:
A good starter set!.......2005-02-02
I just recieved my copy of Parker's Prediction Pack in the mail yesterday, and overall I'm pleased with it, although I was surprised and a little disappointed that the runes with this set are just cardboard that you press out of a sheet...they simulate real runes and will work well enough for learning about how to use runes, but they will not be useful as a permanent set.
With the exception of the cardboard runes, however, this is a nice set. The tarot deck is of good quality--it's the Fournier Spanish Tarot, a Marseilles-style deck with plain pip cards, but it differs a little from the traditional Spanish Tarot in that the card titles are given in English, and modern names (High Priestess, etc.) are given for the Majors instead of the traditional names. The cards are easy to handle and shuffle, and the colors are very pleasant. The I-Ching coins have a nice weight and look like authentic coins, even though the accompanying book admits that they are not real Chinese coins.
The accompanying book is large, softcover, with a lot of high-quality color pictures. Helpful, thorough, easy-to-understand explanations are given for each of the divination methods (tarot, runes, I-Ching), with some fairly accurate historical background given for each method as well. There is also a "chooser wheel" included with this set, which is designed to help you determine which divination method to use depending on your question and your date of birth. The chooser wheel seems like a waste of cardboard to me, but on the other hand it is kind of a cute idea.
If you are new to any of these divination methods, or even if you are just seeking a good Marseilles-style tarot deck, Parker's Prediction Pack is worth buying.
Not really a book - a book plus, plus, plus.......1999-10-23
Not just a book: here IS a book - on the runes, the Tarot, the I Ching - but here too is a set of Tarot cards, a set of runes, and the three ancient Chinese coins you use to set up the I Ching. Fascinating to try out these three disciplies - they really do answer your queries!
