Then towards the end of this era when the vernal point approaches the next
constellation—that of the Water Bearer—people make technical discoveries
and inventions based on wave energies. This is one of the early effects of the
budding Water Bearer era, an age of technical achievement. The radiation of
the Water Bearer constellation, which knows no limitations and sweeps all
obstacles out of its path, reveals itself in the ideas and social concepts of
humanity. At the end of the era of the Fishes, these new energies cause great
revolutions in the places where people react most powerfully to them. I see
thousands of people of the ruling class sitting in prison, while a spirit with the
characteristics of the new coming era decapitates or otherwise kills countless
people of the upper class.

A vision from the time when the energies of the Water Bearer are working
with full power shows me that the great teacher of this epoch abolishes all the
boundaries between the three dominant religions. With his own person he
proves that the inner core of all religions is one and the same truth, one and
the same God. The boundary between religion and science disappears too, as
people discover that everything, even matter, is a wave movement. They learn
that the only differences between manifestations of the spirit and those of
matter are differences of frequency, while in its essence everything is only the
manifestation of the one, single, prime source of all forces, God. Everything is
a wave, just as the symbolic representation of the Water Bearer constellation
shows: a supernal being pouring waves out of his pitcher.

The spiritual movements on the earth show this effect. Science discovers
the 'wave' theory, and I see countless inventions based on waves. I see
pictures of people, landscapes and objects—pictures made by the effect of
light waves. I see different kinds of devices which send out waves. Waves
penetrate matter and reveal its solidity. There are waves that show what
elements are present in the matter of the planets and fixed stars, electric
waves, waves of sound, light and smell. Medical science has stopped giving
treatments with water in favour of treatments based on waves. All kinds of
waves, from infra-red to ultra-violet, short waves and still shorter waves, even
more penetrating waves and frequencies ... all in use by science!

The constellation of the Water Bearer belongs to the airy face of God. And
mankind conquers the air with air, with energies won from matter in the airy
state. I see people moved onward from the steam engine to other machines
operated by gas. And then my astonished eyes follow huge locusts high up in
the air, made by human hands and carrying people in their bellies! These
machines are powered by gas: Air conquers air ...

Through the complementary sign of the Lion people again recognize the
strongest manifestation of God on earth. The sun, the great Ra, is again
acknowledged as the prime source of all manifestation of earthly energy. Once
more people have become sun worshippers, even though not in a religious
sense. The influence of the Lion shows itself in another plane too. The effect of
the Water Bearer is to abolish all boundaries, all limitations. But the absence
of boundaries without a concentrating mid-point means mental disease,
spiritual death. The boundlessness of the Water Bearer would affect the
unconscious masses as a mental illness running throughout all humanity,
causing anarchy and chaos, and destroying everything. Through the
complementary sign of the Lion, however, dominion is concentrated in
individual persons—dictators —who group the people about themselves and
guide them.

In this epoch people discover traffic and intercourse with other planets.
Boundaries and obstacles disappear, and with them the isolated state of the
earth in cosmic space. And as the boundaries between countries disappear
too, all humanity is governed from one centre. 'One stable, one shepherd.'
