Toye explains that her map depicts California shattered into islands, the Pacific Northwest submerged, the Mississippi River widened tenfold, and much of the East Coast broken apart. She tells Art Bell that Nevada is prophesied to be ground zero for a massive meteor impact. After selling her home to fund publication of the map, Toye spent six years studying prophecy and arrived at a central message: these changes are not inevitable. She argues that collective human consciousness and free will can alter the outcome, describing prophecy as a spiritual teaching meant to inspire transformation rather than fear. Callers challenge her from religious, psychological, and scientific perspectives, while Toye maintains that love and conscious choice can change the trajectory of the planet.
A provocative exploration of earth changes prophecy, spiritual awakening, and the power of human intention to shape the future.
Key Moments
Origin of the I Am America map: Art lays out how a Pahrump neighbor handed him a large color map called I Am America, inspired by Lori Toye's 1983 recurring dream in which four Tibetan masters unrolled a future US map; she sold her house in two hours to fund the first thousand prints.
Meteor in the Nevada desert: Toye describes the literal earth changes on the map: California shattered into islands, the Pacific Northwest gone, Mississippi widened tenfold, Florida partially sunk - and the first sign of the cataclysm is a meteor predicted to impact the Nevada desert, with Bell wryly noting Pahrump is ground zero.
Phoenix, Denver, and Salt Lake become seaports: Toye describes the post-change US: Phoenix, Denver, and Salt Lake City become seaport cities; California is a series of islands; Mount Shasta becomes a peninsula; the entire Pacific Northwest including Seattle is gone with only Mount Rainier and the Cascade peaks remaining as islands; the lower third of Florida sinks with Miami in the Atlantic.
Clinical psychologist diagnoses Toye on air: A retired 22-year clinical psychologist calls in and tells Toye she is a textbook case of deep emotional rejection, recommends she seek professional help in her state, and expresses concern for her three children before Bell cuts the line.
