About MERLIN

The Art of Anticipation

Surfing the Waves of Change in your Future with

The MERLIN Project©

In a world where timing often spells the difference between success and failure, The MERLIN Project®gives you a hedge on the Future. Think of it as a high-tech crystal ball, through which you can glimpse upcoming periods of intense activity or rest that indicate the best (and worst) times for launching projects, initiating and sealing business deals, getting married, scheduling non-emergency surgery, moving, taking on a new job -- in short, when to deal with major life changes, well in advance of their actual occurrence.

MERLIN combines the exactness of planetary mathematics with recognized historical cycles to create snapshots of time by using a single, "frozen moment" of time as a starting point. The resulting chronographs, called “Timetraks®” are highly individualized patterns, tracings in time that begin when we are born or a key ("genesis") event occurs. These Timetraks® depict chains of activity that are twofold: external factors (career matters, where we work or live) and internal factors (health, relationships, emotional concerns.) MERLIN pinpoints three elements about such periods of activity: the onset, the intensity, and the duration and the technology is equally applicable to people, companies, situations and countries.

While relating celestial movements to human events has long been a controversial subject, MERLIN's track record of timely and accurate predictions speaks for itself. Notable forecasting successes include: the acquittal of O.J. Simpson, the scandals of the Bill Clinton presidency and the Presidential bid of Bob Dole, Leno's underdog triumph over Letterman, the emergence of JFK Jr., the demise of National Health Care, the Republican Revolution of 1994, the timetable for the breakup of the Soviet Union, the follies of the second Bush Administration, including the duration and chaotic aftermath of both the Gulf and Iraqi Wars, the continued survival of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden, the resurgence of John Kerry and the failed Presidential bid of Howard Dean and many other timely events.

In 1995, the MERLIN creators were approached by a Strategic Planning Office of the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff and asked to provide a long-range forecast and timetable for potential incidents of domestic terrorism over the following seven years. This "white paper" which was submitted in July 1995, included indications of a significant threat culminating in the Fall of 2001, which we now know to be the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon.

Overall, MERLIN's accuracy has approached 80 percent. In one controlled experiment coordinated by a group of GE(nie®) scientists and skeptics, MERLIN assigned accident dates to their respective victims with an accuracy rate that outperformed chance odds by a whopping 30,000 to 1.

First conceived in 1989, the MERLIN Project® came to national attention in 1991 when the NBC Nightly News broke the story of MERLIN's uncanny prediction of the stock market plunge in November of that year. Subsequently, MERLIN has been featured in magazines and newspapers around the world and its creators have been regular guests on CNN's Larry King LIVE, TalkBack LIVE and on ‘Coast-to-Coast AM with George Noory’ in recent years.

In an upcoming book, MERLIN will not only document its own successes and make new predictions for coming years, but it will also provide readers with several related tools, enabling them to make their own personal forecasts. Among the tools immediately accessible will be a MERLIN Year-at-a-Glance® calendar highlighting days in the coming year best suited for initiating projects, etc. A more extensive MERLIN Book-of-Days® provides the reader with a ten-year chronograph of activity that originates on each day of the coming year. An easy to follow guide is included which alerts readers to specific days likely to be favorable or troublesome for them. The book employs the easily understood example of waves and surfing to clearly explain how to use MERLIN.

Besides providing readers with highly customized personal timing tools, MERLIN will also present a clear conceptual framework which for the first time will provide a firm foundation for "legitimizing" traditional predictive systems like astrology. At the same time MERLIN will lay the groundwork for an entirely new 21st century science of pattern, information, intelligence and consciousness unlike anything which currently exists; a science as revolutionary as quantum physics and as far reaching in it's impact.

There will be options available for readers to contact The MERLIN Project®directly for highly specific, personalized Timetraks® related to career and personal activities. These options will include a nation-wide toll free number, a computer disk or CD-ROM which could accompany the book and beginning in July 2003 direct INTERNET access.

Direct spin-offs from the book will include an annualized version of the MERLIN Book-Of-Days®. With its highly useful timing information for personal and professional planning, it could easily become a yearly purchase akin to the Information Please or Farmer's Almanac.
