Just so, MKR. And Krishnaji said, as I read in a German book some years
ago, in 1919 that the Great War was unwise und Wilson's policy unjust with
the result of a new Great War in 20 years... And WWII began in 1939. Any
questions? By the by, there is another interesting look from the point of
view of occult mathematics. As many serious students of Theosophy believe,
with the birth of HPB - our mother - a new era began. On the other hand
many New Agers believe the Age of Aquarius began in 1900, others say in
1960, others have yet another date. Contradiction or paradox? A look in the
Occult Glossary by Dr. Gottfried de Purucker may assist. We learn that
there is not only a single cycle but many cycles overlapping, and each
cycle has a sunrise, a noon and a sunset. These starts and ends are 10%
from the time of the cycle. So 10 % from 2.160 years (as it is be said for
a "day of the world") is 216 years. Add this 216 years to 1831 and you have
the begin of the Age of Aquarius sui generis in 2047. The half of 216 is
113. Add 113 to 1831 and you have the half-time, the lowest point of the
time of this our transitional period in 1944, marking the year of the high
noon of WWII, a period of the greatest and most terrible slaughter in known
history of mankind with billions of tons of TNT. Chance or not? In this
contect the several hints and warnings of GdeP among the ES or other
degrees in the early 1930's (!) about the upcoming WWII, as cited in The
Eclectic Theosophist, may be of some interest for us unveiling the deeper
reasons for the activities of our Theosophical teachers.
