This involved the prediction of Arthur Ford, Spirit Guides, and Ruth Montgomery.<\/p>\n

Arthur Ford, the well-known American psychic medium (who passed away in 1971), collaborated with author Ruth Montgomery on several books where she transcribed and presented his communications from the \u201cspirit guides\u201d (via automatic writing or trance). These include titles like <\/span>The World Before<\/span><\/span> (1976, published posthumously), <\/span>The World to Come: The Guides\u2019 Long-Awaited Predictions for the Dawning Age<\/span><\/span> (1999 edition or similar compilations), and others in the series such as <\/span>A World Beyond<\/span><\/span> or <\/span>Threshold to Tomorrow<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span>In these channeled messages, the guides (through Ford) offered various future prophecies, including geopolitical and economic upheavals tied to energy crises, Middle East conflicts, and oil supply disruptions. One recurring theme involved turmoil in the <\/span>Persian Gulf<\/span><\/span> region (which includes the Strait of Hormuz as the critical chokepoint for global oil exports). The predictions often described a major closure or severe restriction of oil flows through this area, leading to skyrocketing energy prices in the West\u2014specifically mentioning scenarios where U.S. gasoline could reach extraordinarily high levels (like the equivalent of $7 per gallon in future terms, adjusted for the era\u2019s context when gas was far cheaper).<\/span><\/span><\/span>Regarding the specific duration of the Strait of Hormuz closure in these predictions: The guides indicated it would be temporary but impactful, lasting <\/span>several months<\/span><\/span> (often framed as 3\u20136 months or \u201ca period of months\u201d in the channeled material). This closure was tied to escalating conflicts (potentially involving Iran or broader regional powers), causing global economic shock, shortages, and a push toward alternative energy or spiritual awakening. The $7\/gallon figure was highlighted as a peak consequence during this disruption, symbolizing severe hardship before recovery or resolution.<\/span><\/span><\/span>These were presented as warnings from the guides about potential future events if humanity didn\u2019t shift toward peace and higher consciousness. Note that interpretations of channeled prophecies can vary slightly across Montgomery\u2019s books or editions, and some readers blend them with other psychics\u2019 visions (e.g., Jeane Dixon or Edgar Cayce influences in similar New Age literature). No exact verbatim quote pins it to precisely \u201cX months,\u201d but the consensus from the texts describes a multi-month blockade rather than years-long or permanent.<\/span><\/span><\/span>If this matches the book you recall (likely one of the Montgomery\/Ford collaborations from the 1970s\u20131990s), or if you remember the exact title\/year, I can help refine this further!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
