A PROPHETIC VISION AND WARNING

OF AN ATTACK ON THE PENTAGON (AND WASH. D.C.)

Inside the Pentagon Meditation room, March of 1996,

* Copies of this vision was distributed widely to The Pentagon officials, military and other government departments, & to the general public at the time. Was this vision a premonition of the 9-11 attack or another attack to come? You decide.

About six years after retiring from the Office of the Secretary of Defense I made a return visit to the Pentagon in March 1996 for a group meditation with my former associates. But I was puzzled that no one else showed up at the appointed time and place. The Pentagon Chaplain on duty explained to me that the Pentagon Meditation Club (PMC) was no longer active. Most PMC members had moved on to new assignments or retired.

Somewhat puzzled and surprised I decided to meditate alone in the solitude of the Pentagon Meditation Room. There in the same place, where a decade earlier I heard a mysterious voice speak the word, "Shield" during my meditation, I began once again to invoke the Name of God entering gradually deeper into the silence. (See reference to this mystical guidance - Source of the Peace Shield Meditation Campaign.)

After the meditation ended more thoughts began to surface. I was silently questioning, "What were the benefits for all those years of intense work with meditation and transformation research? Was it really God’s will that we did it, only to be abused, ridiculed, and attacked because of the Club’s presence and activities? Did the Peace Shield Meditation/Prayer campaign and the series of spiritual defense initiatives using meditation really accomplish anything? Was it that there was no one left at the Pentagon to carry on the mission of the Club, or that so few people were willing to meditate and pray? Just some "un-stressing going on in me," I thought. Then, I began to reflect on the fact that the Pentagon elite, the new administration, knew nothing about transformation, or about past spiritual defense initiatives and the benefits of meditation. I felt depressed. It seemed to be such a great loss that the Club was no longer active. I thought there was now something missing at the Pentagon. I thought about a tombstone with the inscription, "R.I.P.”

Finally, I raised my eyes and saw a Bible lying open on an altar, just as it had been ten years earlier! I approached the altar and randomly turned the pages to the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 66, verses 14 through 16, and read:

". . . And the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and His indignation toward His enemies. For behold the Lord will come with fire, and with fury, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many."

In the next moment after reading this passage I was shown a horrible vision of doom and destruction that seemed to me so real that I felt the heat on my face and smelled the smoke. I saw arrows flying in the air -- missiles (chariots). Suddenly there was the impact of a nuclear explosion in the City of Washington, D.C. I stood there watching the Pentagon's walls melt in flames and disintegrate. Then a deep sorrow came over me as I watched the entire City being engulfed in a mushroom cloud -- "and the slain of the Lord were many."

Those terrifying images seemed to me to be a response to all my questions, which seemed to mean that the stage was set for indescribable disasters for the United States and the world. Shaken by this vision and premonition of events to come, I quietly exited the Pentagon building thinking about the horrifying scene I had witnessed. I passed by the POAC (Pentagon Officers Athletic Club) where a jogger ran toward me wearing a T-shirt with the words that said, The Legendary Pentagon, a final cryptic message that seemed to be a confirmation of the vision. I knew this vision was a warning for us all to transform ourselves and our world. This experience was so disturbing to me that I wrote about it and subsequently distributed copies widely at the Pentagon and in government circles.

As I left the Pentagon building that day pondering what I had received, it occurred to me that whatever devastation does happen in the future, it will not be punishment from God. Instead, it will be the consequences of failed policies, bad and unenlightened leadership in government and business, failure to change ourselves, and to turn to God through prayer and meditation. In the Pentagon lexicon today "Transformation of Military Capabilities" is a popular slogan. The irony seems to be that neither the Pentagon elite nor our government have yet introduced a program for individual and organizational transformation. Neither do they seem to comprehend that prayer/meditation are more powerful than military firepower, and that love is the ultimate first strike capability for national security.

After the vision I was always concerned that some catastrophe might occur at the Pentagon or in Washington, D.C., and so the 9/11 attack did not come as a surprise. The United States is not invincible. War can come to this country! Time is fast running out. We are beginning to see that the day is not far off when friends and foes of the United States will wonder what happened to the Legendary Pentagon. General MacArthur sounded the warning:

We have had our last chance. If we do not now devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door. The problem is basically theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence and improvement of human character . . . It must be of the spirit, if we are to save the flesh. (Ultimate Solution)

Edward Winchester founded the PMC - Pentagon Meditation Club under the auspices of the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. in 1976. The PMC continued to function until the late 1990's. It is now a civilian based activity operating from outside the Pentagon facility.
