The Apocalypse

Apocalypse comes from the Greek word meaning Revelation.

Revelation comes from Spiritual Experience.

Spiritual Experience is not in books or speeches. It is in the personal experience of the Ultimate Reality, the Divine Self, the Truth, our true Identity. In the personal experience of the Impersonal.

The spiritual domain is so subtle that it is very easy to have a mistaken understanding of it and come to the wrong conclusions.

The Source of Creation and of ourselves is beyond the mental, beyond the five senses. Beyond this mortal body. Wanting to ‘understand’ it with our intellect, our logic, our thought, ‘imagine’ it with our imagination, is like trying to describe the Indescribable, name the Unnameable, imagine the Unimaginable, limit the Unlimited, shut the Infinite in a little box.

Believing that the apocalypse is the destruction of the world, so that the master of such and such a religion can come back to Earth, is certainly a mistaken understanding of the apocalypse.

The apocalypse is not an event in time - past, present or future. It is a spiritual event which can happen at any moment, here and now, in the life of every human being, whether atheist or believer, whichever system of belief they follow, or not.

The apocalypse is not the destruction of the world but the transcendence of the ego and of illusions. The illusion of believing that this world is reality. The illusion of believing that this body, this human personality, is our real identity, our true Self. The illusion of believing that our system of belief, whichever one it is, is the Truth. The illusion of believing that books and speeches are the truth.

Once we have the supreme blessing and infinite luck of the Spiritual Experience, all illusions and attachment disappear completely and the Ultimate Reality, the Truth, reveals itself in all its Splendour.

Such is the truth, the real meaning of the apocalypse.
