In the first half, business consultant Charles Coppes discussed why he believes we're heading into the "perfect financial storm" which will eventually lead to currency collapse, debt defaults, and hyperinflation. Converging domestic and foreign problems, along with unresolved issues related to the 2008 financial meltdown are leading to this crisis he contended. In this scenario, he sees the power of the United States diminished, and the rise of Europe, with Frankfurt becoming the top banking center of the world. Because of their economic situation, Greece could soon be leaving the EU, and a number of other countries may do the same, which would further consolidate power in Frankfurt, he explained.

Regarding the US dollar serving as the world's reserve currency, he cited what is called Triffin's Dilemma-- "a country that issues the reserve currency must run trade deficits or export its inflation, and the dilemma is how to maintain the confidence in the currency with inflation at the same time." Switching to a one-world currency is one possible solution to Triffin's Dilemma, he noted. These sweeping economic shifts fit into "a prophetic matrix that envisions the rise of Europe, as predicted in some ancient biblical texts," Coppes added.

In the latter half, psychic medium, teacher, and motivational speaker Sunny Dawn Johnston talked about her communications with angels, guides, and loved ones who have crossed over, and outlined the various ways to make contact with the Other Side including seances. Seance comes from a French word meaning to sit. The idea behind a seance is to call in or invite the energy of the spirit world, and receive messages in order to provide closure or understanding for the living, she detailed. Deceased spirits can make contact regardless of whether they've "crossed over," as aspects of their soul do not dissipate, she added.

In terms of making contact with those who have passed on, Johnston offered a quote that came to her from spirit: "You cannot focus on my absence, and experience my presence." She also shared methods for clearing a space of negative energy, which include infusing a space with love, as well as creating a "green fire," a purification technique involving Epsom salts and rubbing alcohol. Angels, she said, are not physical beings, but exist in a higher vibrational state. They seek to support us here in the physical plane though, sending us guidance and intuition of our higher selves, she said.
