“Out of Russia comes again the hope of the world”

"Not in respect to what is sometimes termed Communism or Bolshevism -- no! But freedom -- freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man. The principle has been born there. It will take years for it to be crystallized; yet out of Russia comes again the hope of the world,".

-- From a reading by Edgar Cayce which many are familiar with.

But how does he see this coming about?
It's particularly difficult to imagine considering current conditions. However, IF we are headed away from capitalism into some new form of democracy based on a truer equality (which is likely to be preceded by more extremes, as we've discussed regarding Pluto's transit through Capricorn), then it makes some sense that the 'new' form of government might have communist overtones or some hybrid derived from that system.

This country has projected its own shadow onto Russia as regards issues of secrecy, spying, inhumane treatment of others, agression, propaganda, etc. So, considering where we are at this point in our relationship with Russia which seems to be at another turning point, I thought it might be interesting to look back on Cayce's and other's prophetic readings about Russia from this current perspective:

Russia In Prophecy

But it is not only the founders of the twentieth century occult revival who heralded Russia’s special destiny. In the predictions of the famous British clairvoyant Count Louis Hamon (1866-1936), who wrote under the pseudonym ‘Cheiro’, we find remarkable references to a spiritual mission for Russia. Cheiro, whose best selling 1926 Cheiro’s World Predictions has been described as a prophetic “history of the last seven decades,” wrote:

The day will come when Russian waste of blood — the blood he has and will yet pour out like water — will make ‘a new heaven and a new Earth…’ …the mysterious Aquarian Age has commenced its dawn across the world, and already its first rays have revolutionised Russia…

Remember these words were written years before the Second World War claimed the lives of more than 20 million Russians.

A new idea of government will little by little spread from , which will completely revolutionise Europe, Asia, the Far East, and Russia will become the most powerful nation in the history of modern civilization.

Russia, however, having for its zodiacal ruler the sign of Aquarius... and Uranus, will recover more quickly from revolutions or disaster and will advance more rapidly towards the achievement of its purpose….

Alice A. Bailey who, like Cheiro, went to the United States from England, also saw a unique role for Russia in ushering in the New Age civilisation. Over thirty years ago, with Russia firmly behind the communist iron curtain, she predicted:

Behind the closed borders of that mysterious and magnificent country , a great and spiritual conflict is proceeding, and the rare mystical spirit and the truly religious orientation of the people is the eternal guarantee that a true and living religion and culture will finally emerge. Out of Russia…will emerge that new and magical religion about which I have so often told you.

Throughout the readings of the ‘Sleeping Prophet’ Edgar Cayce we again encounter amazing references to Russia’s special place in the cosmic plan. Cayce said:

In Russia there comes the hope of the world, not as that sometimes termed of the communistic, or Bolshevik, no; but freedom, freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man! The principle has been born. It will take years for it to be crystallised, but out of Russia comes again the hope of the world. (Edgar Cayce, 1944, No. 3976-29)...cont'd

And those of you who have Liz Greene's book, The Outer Planets & Their Cycles, might enjoy
going back and reading what she has to say about Russia (or rather the USSR) and it's potential
for the future. She saw the break up of the Soviet Union and the formation of the EU well
before those developments happened (her book is from the early 80's)or even seemed plausible.
And her intutitions about where this might lead seem right on the mark. She looks for her clues
not in its government, but in the soul of its people.

I can't wait to see what happens.

I love the "soul of its people" idea. I wonder what could be said about the soul of Americans; there was so much opportunity for this country and her people. :(

fact that we HAVE shifted on a soul level, and this 'reality' fits like an old suit.
So it's falling away, thread by thread.

Let's all hurry it along and just get naked! :woohoo:

when we go through this shift! :scared:

Ummm... I think that I'll opt out if that's a requirement; yeah, I'm definitely a prude. :)

The unfoldment of human development moves along.
