Worldwide Prophecy of Love Day
On Christmas Eve 2007, Jonathon Shalomar was taking a shower when he suddenly felt a rush of tremendous golden-white light flood through him. Then, he says, through his inner heart he heard several voices in unison say, "The day of the fulfillment of the prophecy given long ago draws nigh. We would ask you to be the messenger for this day, which shall be called the prophecy of love day, in your time and calendar July 13, 2008."
This divine message led to the creation of the Worldwide Prophecy of Love Day, where for 24 hours on July 13, people all around the world are asked to commune at different sacred places, including simple quiet spots in nature, to allow the energies of unconditional love to flood their being. Rather than projecting this energy outward, participants are asked to hold this unconditional love within. Shalomar believes that if one million people feel this love, then balance and harmony will be felt in the world.
As a part of the worldwide meditation, Shalomar presents Prophecy, New Science and The Days to Come, a three-day conference on July 11-13 featuring well-known spiritual speakers, including Alimine, Aluna Joy and Anodea Judith.
Mount Shasta in Northern California is the focal point for the event. "I believe that Mount Shasta was chosen because it is the heart center of the crown chakra on this planet," says Shalomar.

Six Obstacles to Wellness
Dr. Pat Dougherty, a chiropractor at A Quality Life Health Center in Spokane, has created a unique test to identify the obstacles to good health. The good news is that there are only six interferences to wellness. When you identify what's affecting your health, Dr. Dougherty can then set you on the path to wholeness.
The six interferences to wellness are:
- Structural interference: subluxation, cranial faults, damaged muscles, lack of motion in organs, brain imbalances.
- Electrical pollution.
- Emotional stress trapped in the body.
- Nutritional deficiency.
- Allergies and sensitivities.
- Toxicity levels.
"When the six interferences to wellness are corrected, I find that most patients are able to become healthier, no matter their diagnosed health challenge. The best news is they get healthier without drugs and surgery," says Dr. Dougherty.
