The Prophecy

We know prophesycing always linked with any given human group, as much at small local level as with the indigenous of the Amazon or among the red Indians, or any other culture.
Some of them have became more famous, but a greater number is surely unknown.
Premonition is what links  ourselves with prophecy and prophetic activity, which in some cultures where farther developed and became the oracular tradition of which we have briefly envisioned some points, in my post on sleep.
So that we can say, prophecy can be a reality in the sense it is enough proven by study and experience.
Of course, it do not eliminate the possibility of fraudulent activity, in such a sensible field which easily awake the interest of many.
So we explain ourselves the wide acceptance any prophecy about end of the world has in our modern society.
It was predicted around the 1000 A.D. and again the 2000 and a few more times in between, and we approach other such date and prophecy(either true or false).

Probably were the prophecies contained in the Book of Revelation of S. John the Evangelist the widest known and probably the most authoritative, as it is unlike it is a mystification.
In connection with a number of heavily symbolic happenings, we may safely conclude they refer to an apocalyptic (revelatory) time  over the head of humanity
at some moment in history, and it would be a farther revelation of the Christic Light and the beginning of a new world.
If we assume John´s prophecy as real and not false, and standing on the point it would be for the earth and humanity a mayor event of the manifestation of that light-consciousness, we may ask ourselves if such light and consciousness John saw, may have any connection with other mentions of such superior light-consciousness, as in the writings from Mother and Sri Aurobindo.
John could not use the term -supermental- because it had not been invented yet -if there and then would have made any sense- and anyway with the physical presence of the Master there, was much more easier and understandable as christic light-consciousness.
But what remains as a fact is the almost certainty that both John and Sri Aurobindo mentioned one same light-consciousness.What today is widely called Supermental Light.
So, a bridge can be extended between two great references which connect them each and human history sequences. And what we know for sure, as it was only recently written by Sri Aurobindo himself, that a factual supermental light was ready to manifest on earth and it would have brought with it a radical transformation of the conditions of life on earth.
So if we assume John´s christic light and Sri A.´s supermental light culturally connected, then they have to coincide at some moment on earth.
 The experiences and words of Mother, Swami Ramalingam, Dharma Sangha among others, the interconnectedness of Sri Ramakrishna´s and Swami Vivekananda yoga with that of Sri Aurobindo, it only add more positive information to what we know and are considering here.
What is currently known as "The Six Visions" of Mother offer, almost in the same language than John (heavenly Hosts in the sky and the vision of a huge cross and impending darkness over humanity, together with a divine figure) shows us that the perspective we are facing hasn´t changed significantly from John to Mother.

Prophecies beside, today not even the most optimistic scientific conclusions says we haven´t endangered our own survival and that of many species, togheter with a growing pollution of land, water, air, and we surely will have to pay some consequence for it.
Not prophetic consequences I mean, just plain and material reactions which are presently being studied in order to prevent -if possible- any mayor treat for human survival.
So that at least we have one of the features, for its dark perspective that shine sinister as a treat to humanity, and by our own hands, which can surely fit within John and Mother message.
We have only to add the cultural, social, moral, economical and political disruption to consider all of them certainly too the  greatest challenge humanity had to face in its history.
And certainly in direct relation with the prophecies we are analyzing.
If the world needed any sombre scenery in which the Apocalypses had to occur, we may easily conclude the present times are one of the worst scenery humanity could offer, as the treat is not only at physical level but at any of the level just signaled.
Should we not forget that Apocalypses means Revelation and the revelation is of the Flame, the Christic/Supermental/Maitry Light-Consciousness, so it is a hope for the Light, even, the certainty of its victory.
In order of time, Dharma Sangha mentioned at the very beginning of his spoken teaching  -in a memorable first speech- the dangers humanity was presently facing,
and said it with no less dramatic tones then John or Mother.
So we may came to the conclusion, a sufficiently consistent conclusion, that all that moments mentioned in John, Mother, Dharma Sangha, are not that far ahead.
