We are now at the beginning of a new age and some people refer to it as the Age of Aquarius, because our sun with the solar system is now moving away from the constellation of Pisces and approaching the constellation of Aquarius. This is a hard astronomical fact, which one can verify by visiting any observatory.

Our sun will be moving across the constellation of Aquarius for the next 2150 years. Sun moves through each of the 12 constellations of the Zodiac in turn and it takes about 25000 years for it to complete its journey through the heavens.

It is believed that during this Age of Aquarius humanity will reach the peak of civilisation. The important things that will happen during this age are that we shall be able to conquer hunger in the world. No one will any longer die of starvation or preventable and curable diseases. Everyone will be entitled to food, clothing, basic education, health care, and housing through the sharing of resources of the world.

Our technology will reach its peak and we will discover new renewable sources of energy and new forms of transport. Safer cold fusion reactors will initially replace the present very dangerous and polluting nuclear fission reactors. Eventually will obtain all our energy requirements directly from the sun. We will also be able to use zero point reactors which will generate electricity directly from ether. Each house will have its own zero point reactor which will supply all its energy needs. There will be no need for energy transmission via cables or the need to tranport gas using pipes.

We will be able to travel round the world in a fraction of the time taken to travel now. It will be noiseless and motionless and we will end our journey fully refreshed. There will be be less need for road transport and most travel will be by air. Most of the goods will be transported by air and there will be little need for big lorries and this will greatly reduce the air pollution and the need for burning fuel as all vehicles will be powered by zero point reactors. The obstacles for travel will gradually vanish and we will be able experience each other's culture through travel. This will help to eliminate prejudice. People will be able live and work in any part of the world they wish.

We will be able to discover the mystery of time and space. We will be able to travel to other planets within our solar system and to planets in other solar systems including planets in distant galaxies. These spacecrafts will be powered by zero point reactors there will not be any need for rockets powered by fossil fuels. We will make contact with alien races living within and outside our solar system. We will benefit from their scientific discoveries and their technologies.

Another important fact will be that there will not be so many wars and people will live in peace. Nationalism, greed, poverty, or injustice causes most of the current wars. Everyone will be treated equally and there will be justice in the world. Men will treat each other as brothers and sisters of one family.

United Nations will take a greater and greater part in maintaining world peace and creating justice throughout the world and in the protection of human rights. The veto of the permanent members of the Security Council will go as it has helped to cover up each other's human rights abuses. UN will take part in setting up the new economic system for the sharing of resources of the world. A very sophisticated form of barter will replace the present capitalist economic system based on market forces.

Instead of the present squalor in some cities there will be beauty. Certain parts of the new cities will be set aside as sanctified areas. These etheric centres will be near water and will be the sites of temples for worship and prayer. All cities will eventually have this kind of sanctuary.

Our architecture, arts, music, literature, and technology will flourish and our lives will be transformed and made easier by the new technology. We will be able to communicate with machines and computers using our thoughts. All the artefacts we need will be made by machines and computers programmed by our thoughts. We will be able to replace small personal and household items using small domestic replicators of the size of a microwave. Large items will be replicated by industrial replicators. We will have much more leisure time, as machines and computers will do many of the things now done manually. This will free humanity for the exploration of our own nature and creativity. (SI Nov 93)

The buildings of the new age will be quite different in shape from buildings of the past. Some of them by their very shape will focus and accumulate particular energies and have 'shape power'. (SI Jan 96)

New advances in medicine and science will make us even healthier and increase our life span even further. We will be able to replace failing organs with new organs created by genetic engineering and therefore there will not be any need for donor organs. We will use medical pods to treat most diseases and we will be able regrow limbs, eyes and ears using the medical pods. There will be synthetic blood and there will not be any need for blood donors. This will prevent the transmission of blood borne diseases through donor blood.

There will be new forms of communication and speech and writing will be replaced by telepathy as the form of communication between people. We will be able to read each other's thoughts and it will be impossible for anyone to lie. There will not be any secrets and it will be impossible for people who commit crimes to escape justice.

Reliable forms of communications will be set up between the astral and physical plane through the use of new technology. Therefore we will be able to communicate with our dead friends and relatives without the use of astral mediums. We will see life as a stage in an unending journey. We will learn the truth about death as a further and less limiting experience on the road. We will loose the fear of death and man will wait serenely and hopefully for its call.

Each child will be understood as a soul in incarnation and education will be geared precisely to that individual. Teachers will assess the child's ray structure and point of evolution and education of the child will be geared to that. In the future known karmic and ray relationship and soul purpose will play a greater part in the selection of mates and in providing a field for the incoming souls.

The most important advancement will be in human consciousness and spirituality. The soul of humanity will make contact with another divine aspect and humanity will make a quantum leap in consciousness. This will result in the creation of the kingdom of souls or the kingdom of God on earth.

The preponderance of knowers of God and the force they transmit will be felt in all kingdoms in nature. Dominion over all forms on earth and the power to act as transmitters of that spiritual energy we call love will be the promised reward for the human soul or the solar angel. Humanity as sons and daughters of God will triumph on earth in full-incarnated expression and bring light and life to all manifested forms. This is what is meant symbolically by the word millennium.

There is not going to be a third world war, Armageddon or the end of the world as some people is predicting in the near future. There will be no nuclear war and there is no need for nuclear weapons. Even now any nuclear missile fired by any country will be intercepted by the ET civilisations who are minitoring our airspace 24 hours of the day. Even up to now few nuclear missiles fired by US nuclear armed submarines have been intercepted and neutralized by ET civilisations. It is claimed by one ET race that in 2009 under Obama administration a nuclear missile was fired at an ET craft orbitting earth by a US submarine. The craft took a direct hit but was unharmed due to its magnetic shield.

For the first time the in our history the Teacher for the Age and elder brother of the race Lord Maitreya will be able to speak to the world directly through the television linked by satellite. This will replace the old method of distorted writings and word of mouth, which usually take thousands of years to disseminate. Therefore no one will be able to distort his teachings.
