The Fields of God, a prophecy

2 MAY 2010

I have seen:

Huge Golden Fields of Wheat
                               under the Blue Sky of the Spirit
In a stupendous Hour
                             Yelding gravid of seeds
                              under the Blows of the Immortal Breeze.

And I understood:

The Time for the Harvest Has Come

The Prophecy and the blue sky after death

A blue mental world and beings to which Mother often referred, and "the blue sky after death" of Dharma Sangha have more then one reason to be similar.
Let´s briefly consider that D.S. didn´t need to die to talk of a blue sky after death, he is talking of something perceivable while in life.

What is sure, it is that within the context of prophecy and symbolic language, a distinction is made -and has to be kept in account- between "inner skies" and "outer skies".
Many prophecies, but I wish to consider here only one, the Apocalypse of John, are referring to events which a great deal happen in inner spaces and inner sky.

Were we expecting to read in the Revelation of John events to happen only or predominantly in outer sky, we would lose at least half the message.
We cannot reasonably expect to see a Dragon flying in the sky in the days of Revelation, but the Dragon could be a constellation or a symbolic element, a force, a concept, within our inner sky. It could be even...ourselves, or a darker part of each of us.
The fact remains, that inner blue sky is a reality.

Recently, a dear friend of mine which has sometimes premonitory dreams and visions told me of a recent one in which she saw clouds in the sky opening and a white horse appearing while the circle of clouds showed an intense blue sky.
The horse approached earth as flying in the sky (my friend is a fervent christian, so while she was seeing that overwhelming vision her mind remembered the words of the Bible: -And everybody will see Him-.
Then, the white horse while approaching earth and growing bigger plunged in a great lake of crystal clear waters.

She felt it was an objective vision, one which is meant as a general revelation instead of a more personal one,  the appearance of the white horse had a general value.
An objective presence.
The symbolic language of a vision is universal, the Kalki avatar appears in the sky on a white horse as much does it the Buddha Maitreya,  or the Christ of the Revelation.
It is real in the inner sky, unreal in the outer.
Unreal not as a fact, as a symbol.
We cannot transpose symbolic language into outer events, so in reading the Revelation, much is probably outer events, as the references to earthquakes, fire
in the sky and on earth, water rising or humans dying, are too many to refer -always and only- to inner events, but a great deal of it is to happen "within" our inner world and sky.
In fact, there is something which cannot be denied: everyone which reads the Revelation of John may not understand it, but none has a feeling it´s untrue.
Everybody feels it "has to be true" in a way he she cannot understand, but the language itself is over and far exceeding the level of doubts.
It is "true in itself".

We considered the possibility that John  was actually seeing events related with the same light Sri Aurobindo spoke of, the Supermental Light, a reason enough to require a deep transformation of human conditions of living and perceiving reality.

We have been even considering if the boy of the Vision of Mother and the apocalyptic times described in the very vision of Mother could be related events.

We perfectly know  the very first discourse of D.S. after years of silence, where words of warning for this world.

We should not expect to be continually warned, because once the vision has spoken, what remains is the time left to be accomplished whether we know it or not,  because a true vision will always accomplish itself.

Mother and Dharma Sangha: reflections

As a Master that She was, Mother was accurate in the choice of her words, below we can read a sentence from her 2nd Vision which I wish to bring to your attention:

..."what a man at the height of his strength would find hard to achieve if he were alone, a child can accomplish almost without difficulty if he is sustained by the power and love of those who are one with him".

To refresh you memory, Mother is talking of a Vision she had, she is describing a boy, almost a child venturing himself alone into the wilderness under the moon light fearlessly. It must be somewhere in Asia around the Himalaya, so it must be jungle and tigers and wild beasts.

Surely Mother is seeing a boy determined to meditate in the jungle, and is saying that "what a man would find hard" (in the jungle, alone, no food, no shelter) "a child can accomplish" when: sustained by the power and love of those who are one with him".

Here rise a question: "who", are those "one with him"?
I think we would think about his parents and in general someone that knows him and accompany him with his thoughts and with his love.
But I think it do not answer the point of the Power.
Here is not speaking of a parental love but a love and power, none refers in such terms about the love of their parents.
So, who is sustaining him, is someone, more then one, which has not only love but power too.
Were we to suppose the boy has a human master somewhere, the sentence would read something like: ..the power and love of whom is one with him , but here it is clear Mother refers to more then one, all of them with power and love.

You know I´ve been proposing the possibility that Dharma Sangha could be the person in the vision of Mother, and if there is something which is really appealing and original in his teaching is the fact of the Sangha where that teaching has origin: a congregation of beings, as D.S. could quite substitute the I with US, because as he says, (and the very name "sangha" means that) his consciousness is kind of a "congregation of beings", the Holy Sangha of the Dharma.

There is very little possibility that all related to D.S. life is an achievement of late,
I mean, such a person surely has a long history of incarnations on earth and meditation, but this he said himself.
Awfully translated, somewhere we can read he says while meditating in the jungle about 2000 years ago he was killed by someone, realizing he had died only 75 days later. ( At about that same date another Great Master was killed in Palestine ).
So whomever is D.S., is not certainly current issue.
And such people, Great Masters which came on earth to do a Great Work, are never alone. Unseen around them there are invisible  benign presences which assist them.
Which results too from his very words.
So, one last question: was Mother seeing the Holy Sangha around Dharma Sangha?
Were those the powerful and loving beings which sustained the boy in the Vision of Mother?
You put the answer.

(I´m somehow critical on the present translation of his teaching, but here you can read some more information on his life and teaching http://www.etapasvi.com/en/ . It is a very complete page, though they do not represent the "official" organization around D.S.).
In conclusion, a renewed lecture of the text of Mother´ Visions has brought me to consider, aside of the fact that D.S. and "the boy" of her vision have great possibilities of being one same person, that we are possibly living in a very transcendental moment, as Mother linked the presence of that boy on earth with very momentous events.

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.
