The First Great Light

Mary

I do not speak of some future moment. I cannot wait. The time is too short. I am already pouring out my light. Let me speak of what is happening right now.

Light begins when people begin to perceive that darkness is growing, when they realize that the light of day is fading. When evening draws near, people seek other lights. What they had abandoned in the daylight since it was not needed, they seek out again.

Where are the high hopes of yesteryear? Where is the unbridled enthusiasm for worldly progress that so infatuated mankind? Where is the belief in the inevitable progress of human history? The have all been swept away. History is plunging into unforeseen darkness and only those who refuse to see the truth think otherwise.

This is the beginning light that awakens mankind and makes him arise from his slumber. It tears away the blindfolds and forces him to see that human light is no light at all.

I am pouring out this great light of awareness everywhere. People are waking up to the great threats that imperil the world. No one speaks of a bright and glorious future. Many wonder if there will be any future at all, especially for the children and grandchildren.

Do you not see the making of a new army, a calling together of people on a scale previously unseen or even conceived? A word goes forth, sent each day by the vast news media. Culture is breaking apart. Bulwarks of stability are no longer firm.

Although darkness covers the earth, the inner darkness that had captivated the human mind is being scattered. Who, today, would speak of the bright, inevitable future of mankind? Only a fool!

This is the first light that I am pouring out. As the illusions are shattered and mankind faces the new reality, he is ready for my new lights.

Comment: The growing darkness has one good effect. Mankind sets aside the great illusions of inevitable progress.
