Jeane Dixon: My Life and Prophecies ; Her Own Story Told to Rene Noorbergen
A RARE SIGNED Slipcased FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER published by William Morrow, N.Y, 1969, 219 pages. Book is in Excellent Condition. Jean Dixon was one of the best-known American astrologers and psychics of the 20th century, due to her syndicated newspaper astrology column, and some well-publicized predictions and a best-selling biography. She is best known for allegedly predicting the assassination of President John F. Kennedy four years before he was elected. In the May 13, 1956, issue of Parade Magazine she wrote that the 1960 presidential election would be "dominated by labor and won by a Democrat" who would then go on to "be assassinated or die in office though not necessarily in his first term." Five years later Jeane Dixon was addressing a meeting in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles when questioned if Robert Kennedy would ever become President. 'No,' she had answered. 'He will never become President of the United States because of a tragedy right here in this hotel.' A week later Robert Kennedy did win the California Democratic primary and he had just finished addressing a victory rally at the Ambassador Hotel's ballroom when he was shot. He died the following day. Also in January 1942 Dixon had warned the Hollywood film actress Carole Lombard (married to Clark Gable at the time) that it would be dangerous for her to travel by plane within the next six weeks. Lombard, scheduled to appear at a War Bond rally did not heed Dixon's warning, she died in an airplane crash within three days of the warning. President Richard Nixon referred to Jean Dixon as "the soothsayer" and ordered preparations for a terrorist attack that Dixon had predicted, of course the prediction did not come true during Nixon's term. She was also one of several astrologers who gave advice to Nancy Reagan during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. She died of cardiac arrest in Washington, D.C. on January 25, 1997, at the age of 93.

Published in 1969. I'd have given this book two stars twenty years ago, but it's become such an odd expression of it's culture that I can't resist the book now and I'll up it to three. Jean Dixon was the most renown psychic of her time - an era that included hippies, racial unrest, the cold war, and the Vietnam War. Her prophecies in the book were tainted by those things. For example, she described psychic knowledge that Martin Luther King's assassination was planned by the communists. The Communists! We don't talk about those rascals the way we did in the 60s.
The mentor who taught me about psychic work explained to me that a psychic needs to see past social influences; to see from a more primal perspective. Jean Dixon was an impressive psychic, but the book is such an expression of it's era that it feels like a freak show to read it - a social studies freak show.
Aside from that, the book doesn't go into Jean Dixon's youth or speculations about what ignited her psychic abilities. Some psychics are born and some are brought to it through personal crisis. This book didn't give the reader a clue about where Jean Dixon got it.
One other thing I found interesting about the book was that she spoke a lot about Jesus Christ. This simply adds to the freak show feeling of the book, because today's psychics don't have the social pressure to cloak their work in Christianity. Even back then, Christians knew that Jeane Dixon didn't match their theology, but in the 60s Christianity was more influential and some psychics had to kiss up to it a bit. Then again, Jeane Dixon said she learned Tarot from a Catholic priest. Curious book.

“Dr. Riesenman says that most people have an ESP ability of between 3-7%. ‘But only 3% of these are truly psychic.’ Of the remaining 97% he says that those cases are attributable to a subconscious evaluation of an emotion of some sort. 70% of that group he dismisses as fraud or trickery. Jeane Dixon’s ESP ability, however, is for real and has been rated by him at between 90-97%!” (12)
Jeane was very devout, but surprisingly she worked all days of the week, including Sundays (23). I guess God never punished her for it.
Election fraud and buying votes has been going on a long time apparently. A black woman told Jeane, “They promised me bigger relief checks if I voted for ——- and he won!” (41) Interesting that they censor out the name of the person. I’m guessing it was a democrat since they’re the party that likes to promise more handouts.
Jeane feels vibrations when she touches people’s hands, especially if she touches them with the tip of her right ring finger. The vibrations tell her things about the person (57). She has never encountered two people who communicate on the same channel (communication frequency) (57). Because she lived in Washington, many of the channels that were opened to her were connected with politics (83).
She can tell thinking people’s thoughts just by being near them. Her crystal ball “is not in itself a power but a point of concentration—an instrument. When I ask someone to look into it and concentrate, I am able to see not only their innermost thoughts, but also become aware of what is going on in their subconscious minds and their personal hopes and plans. I see things that have been there for years without their knowing it” (58). She also gets psychic dreams. A revelation is what she calls when she feels increasingly wonderful for a few days, then on the fourth day she gets a message from God about an international situation that is his will and therefore cannot be changed (61). She continues to feel great for a few more days after receiving the revelation (61).
The race riots of the 1960s were not God’s will; they were man-made and could have been prevented. “My first view of this dark shadow, which is covering most of the United States today, came when, as a little girl, I was at prayer in the Sacred Heart Cathedral on Hollywood’s famous Sunset Boulevard. While meditating, I received a vision of black people walking over the rooftops of our government buildings, symbolizing, or course, a disrespect by some for the established authority. But I also saw them being given positions of importance long before they were ready for them by those who were trying to serve their own selfish purposes” (77). Sounds like modern times. Jeane blamed the riots and student unrests on the USSR instigating them (137). “In the future the riots will *not* be confined to the United States but will erupt all over the world” (78).
Jeane predicted MLK’s death through telepathy 1948-1960: “I feel strongly that, in order to obtain the rapid advancement Dr. King desires for his people, he will begin to use known Communists, with the belief that he will be better able to serve his people. Instead of his being used, however, the Communists will turn the tables on him and will start using the Negro movement to serve their own aims. Once they have infiltrated the Negro movement, Dr. King will no longer be of use to the Communist cause—and they will eliminate him. This will happen in 1968 when his usefulness to them will be ended. He will suffer a violent death” (110).
On 1/29/64, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover testified before a House sub-committee: “[The Communist party] strives only to exploit what are often legitimate Negro complaints and grievances for the advancement of Communist objectives. Controversial or potentially controversial racial issues are deliberately and avidly seized upon by Communists for the fullest possible exploitation. Racial incidents are magnified and dramatized by Communists in an effort to generate racial tensions. As a result, such campaigns are actually utilized as a stepping stone to extend Communist influence among the Negroes” (111). Again, sounds like modern times!
This too: “The bitter irony of it all is that these young people do not realize that they are the victims, not the victors. They are forced into the battle for personal freedom, yet they do not know how to handle this privilege and are destroying and overthrowing the heritage of our country in their youthful but wild quest for power to assert and impose their false doctrines of reform” (167).
“With the Communists, assassination is never the job of one man. Conspiracy is part of the communistic ideology, and Martin Luther King, Jr., was the victim of just such a conspiracy. I have received psychically that the man who killed Dr. King is not James Earl Ray (who is not a Communist). He was involved in the plot, but he did not know the extent of the conspiracy until he was too deeply involved to be able to pull out. He does not know the true names of the others involved in the assassination plot, but he can recognize his ‘contact’ if he is brought face to face with him. He only knows the man under his assumed name. . . . I was able to tune in on his contact’s” channel and have seen the name change. I see four people planning the final steps of the assassination. I see them plot the last-minute details with precision. First there is a young man, medium height, blond, in his early thirties. I see him gesturing, discussing, thinking. . . . Then there is the man who did the actual killing. He is in his late twenties or early thirties. He is white, of medium build, and soft-spoken. He is a Communist or an experienced assassin used by the Communists. He was involved in the plot right from the beginning, when it was planned at an entirely different place than Memphis. Again, I must emphasize this: the assassination was not a spontaneous act. It was premeditated. Some of the close associates of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., were in on it, and these are the people who arranged the final details that led to his assassination” (118).
“There must be a balanced two-way traffic carrying goods for peace, not war, if the world is to survive the Communist plans for takeover. We are dealing, I feel, with a Communist-bloc cartel that covers the entire world—and unless this situation is understood and resolved, it could destroy many countries through complete disruption of the economic structures” (146).
Disagreements in the Middle East “will only cease to exist after the great earthquake that will hit Jerusalem” (151). As far as I could tell from research online, there haven’t been any major quakes in Jerusalem since Jeane made this prediction.
“I have projected my quest for information into the year 2000 and see Chinese and Mongol troops invading the Middle East. I see devastating battles raging uncontrollably east of the Jordan River. It is a war of East against West. It will be an almost futile fight against an overwhelming foe—but the Lord will place Himself at the side of Israel, and great losses will be suffered by the Orientals. After the tide of battle has shifted, Israel will become one of the great miracles of all times, for the Israelites will then realize that it was God’s intervention that brought about this ultimate victory, and they will finally accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God” (151). Not sure why God’s intervention means Jesus was the son of God. Why couldn’t it have been the Jewish god given credit for intervening instead of the Christian god?
“In the year 2025 Red China will have reached an economic and political stability sufficient to forge ahead and become the Great Conqueror. In that year Red China will march into Russia, conquer a large part of the USSR’s northern area, and will not stop until it has moved into Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, stopping at the German border. It will not invade Western Europe. by that time, however, Russia will also have expanded her direct sphere of influence. It will no longer be limited to the countries of Eastern Europe but will now include Libya, Ethiopia, Iran, and much of Africa. This war of conquest will last from 2025-2037” (157).
She predicts that the Antichrist will come, claiming to be Christ, prince of peace (163). Before he comes, there will be a forerunner or prophet of the antichrist. It’ll lead to “the most refined form of idolatry, man’s worship of himself, but he will not realize that it is actually Satan, the serpent, he is worshipping” (166).
Not sure if this is the antichrist she’s talking about: “In the 2030’s a man who will have gained a reputation as a ‘peacemaker,’ great in informational stature, and much admired, will emerge as the ‘war lord’ of modern times. The entire nation will back him, believing that he who has been so strong in peace can also be victorious in war. He will have military power at his disposal and will possess greater might than anyone ever before him and will use it to combat the Red Chinese menace that will by that time be fighting in Russia and the Scandinavian countries. His changeover from peacemaker to military genius and dictator will be so sudden and abrupt and so absolute that people for the first time in modern history will wake up and realize that they have been had! For this will be why he entered politics!” (140-141) Hard to believe there’d be any politician nowadays that over half the country would back.
“I ‘see’ this [government within a government] succeed in taking over de facto control of the country. They will give rise to an upheaval in our social structure as never before seen. They will bring about increased racial unrest and great discontent. Foreign subversive elements will—as they did in the 1960’s—infiltrate the unruly factions and cause renewed fighting on the nation’s campuses and in racial ghettos. All of the evil in the masses will be swept toward an unknown frenzy by this ‘machine.’ I ‘see’ a member of this ‘machine’ ascend to power in New York City, enforcing new laws and regulations which will affect many households of that great metropolis. The social and religious chaos generated by this political machine through the United States will prepare the nation for the coming of the prophet of the Antichrist. This political unit of the East will be the tool of the serpent in delivering the masses to him” (168).
False Oriental religious philosophy will move into the Western world in 2020-2030 (153). The antichrist’s “domain will be the intellectual seduction of mankind. It means a mixture of political, philosophical, and religious ideology that will throw the populations of the world into a deep crisis of faith in God” (169). The antichrist will be able to perform miracles and control nature, through science (169). The antichrist will be the child from the east that in her last book she predicted was the second coming of Christ (187).
“We are in extreme danger of directing our educational efforts too much toward the highly technical fields and not placing enough emphasis on subjects dealing with agriculture” (142). True.
She predicted that overpopulation won’t be a problem. “There will be no catastrophic consequences. We will not have to rely on ‘the pill’ or other contraceptive methods. Rather, improved education and family guidance will become the accepted solution and will make people aware of their responsibilities as both parents and citizens” (143).
“A major breakthrough in the field of propulsion—using magnetic and cosmic forces—will enable us to travel to far-off planets with a simplicity never before thought possible” (158).
“Mounting energy demands will be met through the use of chemical, thermal, electro-magnetic, terman-ionic, and cosmic sources that will be harnessed” (158).
“I do not doubt that this means of communication has always existed. We have blocked our extrasensory perception through our prejudices. We tell ourselves and science and our environment tell us that an extra sense is nonsense, yet put a man under hypnosis and give him a posthypnotic suggestion to ignore his prejudices and be open to extrasensory communication, and I’m sure he will receive more than he ever thought possible” (13).
I’ve always been skeptical of hypnosis. If all it takes is looking at a swinging pendulum or a spiral and hearing “you are getting very sleepy,” then why don’t get I get hypnotized by watching that on TV?
Jeane’s and her husband’s way of keeping disagreements from becoming a major issue: “We both realize that the best way to dispel an argumentative mood is not to give in to it, so with a polite excuse one of us leaves the room, and the potential argument dies” (26). Probably good advice. Although from another perspective, it’s not addressing the issue; it’s running away from the problem.
Like Cayce, Jeane says we should find a “oneness” with [Jesus]—which is atonement” (210). But they disagree on reincarnation (213). I think Cayce was a more powerful/accurate psychic than Jeane because her psychicness came in random visions where she had to interpret symbols, which she could interpret incorrectly, whereas Cayce could connect to ultimate truth at will and spoke literally. Jeane giving predictions in her conscious state probably makes her vulnerable to the biases she has been brought up with. (So she wouldn’t say anything is true if it goes against her Catholic upbringing.) Cayce under trance said things he didn’t do or agree with in his waking state, which makes it more convincing to me.
“There is a respected theory that wood, because of its cellular make-up, is capable of absorbing sounds and other vibrations. Since wood reacts to atmospheric conditions and expands in hot, moist weather and contracts in cold, dry weather, this theory would explain in part why many people think apparitions appear only in certain seasons, for it is then that they are conscious of the apparitions” (33).
I watched videos recently of how music boxes work. (Another complicated genius invention that most people couldn’t manage to come up with today, including myself.) The person in the video demonstrated how the music got louder when put on wood.
“Commenting on 2 Kings 22:14, Joseph Priestley remarks concerning Huldah: ‘It pleased God to distinguish several women with the spirit of prophecy as well as other great attainments, to show that, in his sight, and especially in things of a spiritual nature, there is no essential preeminence in the male sex” (15). (Notes on All the Books of Scripture, vol. 2, page 40.)
“Mankind will never be able to create a world of peace without faith in and love for the King of Peace” (134).

I read this on a total whim, WHAT a KICK! Washington DC in the 60s must have been a three ring circus. This isn't an easy book to read, Jean the prophetess jumps around back and forth in time as she tells her tale, and repeats all of her most famous prophecies. But it's the stuff you pick up between the lines makes you wonder. Was there really an assassination plot from Cuba after Kennedy's death? Why did the US give Churchill an honorary US citizenship after the war? Did the bigwigs really fly the Laurence Welk Orchestra to Washington to perform for society balls? Seriously? (that astounds me more than the first two, actually..) So many interesting historical tidbits in this one, it is totally worth unearthing to read.

Book was okay. It was neat reading about Jeane Dixon as she was a person that some members of the White House consulted back in the day.
As to the predictions she gave for the future - most of them did not come to fruition (that I know of). I did find it interesting that she spoke a lot about rioting at college campuses. She claimed that the communists were responsible for trying to gin up social & racial unrest with the intent of the US taking their "eyes off the ball" of what really was going on behind the scenes. That seems to be a reoccurring theme in our political history.

YIKES. ON. BIKES. 🔥🚳
This has so much self-serving B.S., so many utterly wrong predictions, and is so biased I couldn't even in good conscience line a hamster cage with it. I wish it were possible to give less than one star.

I read this when I was a teenager. She came to public notice when newspapers announced she had tried to warn Kennedy before assassination.
Later in life, she wrote prophosies for tabloids.
