The term Earth Changes describes a belief prevalent in certain segments of the New Age movement. Believers in the 'Earth Changes' theory believe that the world will soon enter on a series of catastrophic changes that will begin a major alteration in human life on the planet. While apocalyptic beliefs of this sort are common across a variety of religious traditions (see Eschatology), the Earth Changes theory is particular to the New Age movement, and is often associated with the predictions of people claiming to have psychic abilities.
The term 'Earth Changes' to describe this apocalyptic sequence of events originates with the American psychic Edgar Cayce who made many prophesies of cataclysms involving the whole planet. He claimed the polar axis would shift and that many areas now land would become Ocean floor. The belief that the California coast would slip into the sea -- a common feature of Earth Changes predictions -- originated with Cayce's alleged prophecies. In more recent times, self-proclaimed psychic Gordon-Michael Scallion has issued a variety of prophecies centering on the concept of 'Earth Changes' that mimic Cayce's. Scallion also believes that a series of major tectonic events will re-shape the globe, and herald a new age in human life. Scallion and his predictions were featured on a number of documentaries that appeared prior to the year 2000, highlighting millenarian beliefs in both world and New Age religious traditions. Many less notable believers in a variety of psychic phenomena report similar prophecies.
Earth Changes beliefs are often syncretistic in nature, drawing from the Judeo-Christian prophetic tradition, modern scientific theories (particularly global warming and plate tectonics), Eastern beliefs (such as the Hindu Kali Yuga), and the traditions of various pre-modern cultures (the Aztec calendar, for instance). Some members of evangelical Christian movements subscribe to beliefs that are substantially similar to the Earth Changes belief. For example, a small percentage of evangelical Christians hold to an interpretation of Bible prophecy known as a post-tribulation rapture, in which Christians will have to go through a 7-year period of war and dictatorship known as the "Great Tribulation". The best-selling Left Behind series provides a fictional picture of the possible consequences of such an event.
