Madame Blavatsy, the 19th-century founder of theosophy, had a more spiritual focus for her prophecies.

The modern voice of the the osphists is Benjamin Creme in Great Britain. He has successfully predicted the release of Nelson Mandela, the 1988 earthquake in Armenia, and the cease-fire between Iran and Iraq. He now predicts that a world teacher for the new age will soon present himself, and gain immediate acceptance. |
