Anna Kingsford (1846-1888)
An English physician, mystic and visionary who served as president of the Theosophical Society, and later founded the Hermetic Society. Her visions were recorded in her book, Clothed with the sun (published 1889)(a reference to Revelations 12:1).
A Prophecy of the Kingdom of the Soul, mystically called the Day of the Woman [based on a vision received in Paris, February 7, 1880)
1. And now I show you a mystery and a new thing, which is part of the mystery of the fourth day of creation.
2. The word which shall come to save the world, shall be uttered by a woman.
3. A woman shall conceive, and shall bring forth the tidings of salvation.
4. For the reign of Adam is at its last hour; and God shall crown all things by the creation of Eve.
5. Hitherto the man hath been alone, and hath had dominion over the earth.
6. But when the woman shall be created, God shall give unto her the kingdom; and she shall be first in rule and highest in dignity. …
12. So that man the manifestor shall resign his office; and woman the interpreter shall give light to the world.
13. Here is the fourth office: she revealeth that which the Lord hath manifested.
14. Hers is the light of the heavens, and the brightest of the planets of the holy seven.
15. She is the fourth dimension; the eyes which enlighten; the power which draweth inward to God.
16. And her kingdom cometh; the day of the exaltation of woman. …
20. For the woman is the crown of man, and the final manifestation of humanity.
21. She is the nearest to the throne of God, when she shall be revealed.
22. But the creation of woman is not yet complete: but it shall be complete in the time which is at hand.
23. All things are thine, O Mother of God: all things are thine, O Thou who risest from the sea; and Thou shalt have dominion over all the worlds.

I have seen
In the perpetual iteration of that beautiful image of THE WOMAN highly blessed – there, where others saw only pictures or statutes, I have seen the great hope standing like a spirit beside the visible form.

Nadi Granth
The Nadi Granth was written in Sanskrit on lotus leaves about 2000 years ago by the Indian astrologer, Bhrigumuni. Later updated and translated into Marathi by Acharya Kakayyar Bhujander Tatwacharya, c.300 years ago, being entitled Kak Nadi. In this extract the modern editor, Shantaram Athvale, refers to material in the Kak Nadi.
While Jupiter is in Pisces a great Yogi will reincarnate on the Earth. By 1970 it will have become quite evident to many people that a new era will have started. Kaliyuga will end and Kritayuga will start. The axis of the Earth will depress and the Earth’s orbit will come closer and closer to the Sun. Human life will undergo a complete revolution. A great Yogi will incarnate at this time.
Until this time a yogi or devotee could achieve the bliss of Moksha and find the ultimate meaning of his life only by following the path of devotion, knowledge and Patanjali Yoga, but he would have to go through severe penance in order to awaken the sleeping powers of various chakras of his body and finally enlighten the Kundalini Power.
By the new method of yoga devised by the great Yogi, human beings will be able to attain the joy of Moksha within one lifetime. It would no longer be necessary to sacrifice one’s body or to die in order to achieve Moksha. The Brahmananda, which so far only great saints had been able to experience, and then only by entering into the Samadhi state at the point of death, due to this new type of yoga could be achieved by ordinary human beings without entering Samadhi state while dying.
In the beginning it would be possible for one person among millions to attain this Yoga and Moksha, however, after some time the whole human race, with the help of this yoga, can overcome death. People won’t have to worry about food, shelter or clothing. While living ordinary lives, people will achieve Yoga - Union with God. There will be no necessity for hospitals as there will be no diseases.
In the beginning, the great Yogi will be able to heal diseases with a mere touch. Old age, with its destruction of the body, will not exist and people will possess heavenly bodies.
Due to new scientific discoveries science and religion would become one. With the help of science the existence of God and the Soul could be proved. The veil of ignorance and Maya would be drawn aside and Brahmananda, Moksha, which could previously only be attained by yogis as a result of very hard work and severe penance, would become easily available to many human beings.

A great era has begun
Vassily Kandinsky (1866-1944)
This pioneer of abstract art was eloquent in his writings on the approaching spiritual epoch and the role that art would play in this new spirituality.
Blaue Reiter Almanac (1911)
A great era has begun: the spiritual “awakening”, the increasing tendency to regain “lost balance”, the inevitable necessity of spiritual plantings, the unfolding of the first blossom. We are standing at the threshold of one of the greatest epochs that mankind has ever experienced, the epoch of great spirituality.

The New Century's Goddess
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1870)
This Danish writer, best known for his short stories for children, attempted to diversify into what he called “philosophical stories”, several of which had visionary and prophetic qualities.
The New Century’s Goddess (1861)
The muse of the twentieth century we shall never know, but our children may and our grand-children certainly will. Yet we cannot help wondering what she will look like or what songs she will sing: which strings in man’s soul she will touch, and to what heights she will raise her age.
Andersen is coy as to where this Goddess will appear, tantalizing the reader with:
One lovely morning she will arrive. She will come riding on the back of the modern dragon, a locomotive, through tunnels and over bridges…
and in answer to the rhetorical “and when will she appear”, Andersen has a prophetic comment to make:
Soon the Great Wall of China will crumble. The railroads of Europe will reach the closed archives of Asian culture. The two streams of culture will meet and the rapids of the double river will have deeper tones than have ever been heard before.
