February 4, 2007: Possession and Visions - Gordon Michael Scallion

Art Bell welcomes futurist Gordon Michael Scallion for a conversation that shifts away from his usual earth changes focus into the unsettling territory of possession. Scallion explains that visions he received beginning in 1979 revealed a connection between solar activity, geophysical upheaval, and a rising tide of what he calls borderland phenomena, including spirit possession, particularly among young people.

Scallion describes his out-of-body journeys into the borderland, the realm between physical life and what lies beyond, where he observed how discarnate entities can attach themselves to living people. He connects the increase in school violence, beginning with Columbine, to these energetic shifts and draws parallels to the work of the late Father Malachi Martin, who reported an 800 percent increase in possession cases. The conversation also touches on the current solar cycle, which Scallion predicts will be one of the most powerful ever recorded, and the ongoing pole shift he believes has already begun.

The first hour includes open lines covering the Super Bowl, the UN climate report, Iran tensions, reincarnation and the Catholic Church, electric cars, and Art's announcement of returning to unscreened open lines.

Key Moments

  1. Pole shift has already begun: Scallion claims the pole shift he predicted in 1979 has actually started - the Earth's core has begun shifting position, driving warming from the inside out, and the coming solar cycle will be unprecedented.

  2. What 'the borderland' is: Scallion defines the borderland - the lower astral plane closest to Earth, populated by spirits with unresolved issues (suicide, murder), now choked with negativity and acting as a conduit feeding possessions.

  3. Mechanics of possession via the etheric body: Scallion describes how repetitive thought patterns crack the etheric body, allowing single or group spirits to attach and feed - and how a possession can spread to a second person on contact.

  4. Coming epidemic of possession: Scallion predicts an epidemic of possession in the next few years, citing the Middle East as a model of 'collective possession' and warning of sharply increased school violence in 2007–2008.

  5. Tactical-nuke vision over Iran: Scallion says his January visions show a nuclear exchange involving Iran - not city-leveling mushroom clouds but tactical nukes, the kind of detail he hesitated to share publicly.
