There is a great psychology book about this, called When Prophecy Fails by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter.

http://www.amazon.com/When-Prophecy-Fail...746&sr=8-1

They were some of the pioneers in the early study of cognitive dissonance in the 50s. While the book makes one laugh out loud in some places, it's also very sad. These people’s lives were ruined afterwards due to some megalomaniac preaching doomsday coupled with blindly believing in negative channeled material.

Cognitive dissonance is today one of the most extensively studied theories in social psychology, and while it is applicable to many kinds of life situations, and none of us are exempt from it at one point or another, it is often discussed and studied in relation to expectations due to prophecy - apocalyptic predictions and the like.

This wiki link is a very interesting read.

I'm busy reading The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. I wish I found this book years ago. You realise that the only possible enlightenment resides in the now, and that we should stop living in the past or the future, and how detrimental living in the past or the future is from a spiritual perspective.
