Speaking Wind Patrick Quirk, a Native American author of Pueblo descent, joins Art Bell to discuss earth changes, ancient prophecy, the fourth world, and the transition toward 2012. Raised by spiritual elders Grandfather Two Bears and White Eagle in the mountains of northern New Mexico, Speaking Wind discusses ancient prophecy describing four distinct worlds of approximately 10,000 years each, with humanity now approaching the end of the fourth world. He places the final day at December 22, 2012, after which a fifth world of peace begins for those who survive the transition.

Speaking Wind describes a planetary cleansing that began in June 1998, marked by waves of unexplained depression and anxiety felt worldwide. He connects these effects partly to HAARP technology, which he says interferes with Earth's magnetic field and disrupts human behavior, bird migration, and marine life. He warns of rising sea levels exceeding 65 feet, reawakening Pacific Ring volcanoes, and ocean-borne bacteria already causing illness among swimmers off California and Florida.

The conversation turns philosophical as Speaking Wind counsels listeners on releasing fear and embracing self-knowledge. He estimates roughly one in a thousand people will physically survive into the fifth world, though he emphasizes that no soul is ultimately lost. He shares the Pueblo teaching that Venus was once a runaway planet whose near-collision with Earth destroyed a primordial garden, an event imprinted on all living things.
