She is a hypno-therapist, and her hynotically regressed subjects repeat alleged stories of former lives or channeled’ messages and interpretations that come through their audio-taped sessions^ VOLUME OMEHIS PROPHECIES EXPLAINEDDOLORES CANNONThe cover of Dolores Cannon’s controversial new book gives a mysterious preview to what’s contained inside.It is from this collected, recorded data that Cannon’s job of sifting, researching, discarding and then entering her writing at her computer, that the foundation for her Books is laid.Research,research,research“In the beginning, I knew very little about most of the topics I wrote about. But once a topic presented itself, I researched, researched and then researched some more,” she said“My Nostradamus book came primarily from three subjects, one, a mother of ten, totally ignorant of Nostradamus but claiming under hynosis to be one of the famous astrologer’s former students. Another subject, who seemed to fall into my lap after the first subject moved away, was a university student and, finally, the one who provided the greatest amount of information was the well-known Florida astrologer,John Feeley He fulfilled a dual-role-that of channeler and of technical adviser to help interpret astrological signs or symbols that came through during his sessions,” she said.Feeley a vehicleShe claimed he was an excellent “vehicle” and interpreted about 100 of the 400 quatrains in their first month of working together. He is the primary material source for her second volume of Nostradamus.The first volume takes a look at the real impact of the Chernobyl Disaster-who the antichrist is and where he is now-what is to become of the Catholic Church-when “the time of troubles” is to begin-which cities in the US represents the “Earthquake Triangle’ - secret weapon development- when we will have mass communication with extra-ierrestrials-and a potential Third World War, to mention only a few.Hard work paying offCannon, a housewife, mother of four and grandmother of 11, still finds it difficult to believe that 11 years of hard work are finally resulting in potential fame. “I’ve had a lot of support from writer friends, writers' groups and, particularly, Jory Sherman (a western novel writer), she said.Cannon claims that Nostradamus believed, as she does, in the theory of probable futures’ and that with fore knowledge of what could happen we are able to reverse the order before it is too late.After all these years of writing at a computer, just how will this book and the ones to follow change Cannon’s life? How will her family react?“They still all come home expecting a traditional meal for family gatherings and holidays, with me cooking, and,” she sighed, “I still do it and will probably continue to.”
