Trump: The Harbinger of the Age of Mahabali

On this historic day, with Donald Trump elected President of the USA, it is time for all who are interested in spiritual affairs to reflect on the shape of the world to come.

Those who truly understand the spiritual workings of the universe know that most events in the material world are reflections of decisions already made in the spiritual realm. As I mentioned in my earlier blog here, before these events unfold in our world, they have already occurred in the astral plane.

Those observing the spiritual world closely will recognise that Trump’s rise to power is the continuation of a process that began some years ago in the spiritual realm responsible for overseeing Earth. This process involves the emergence of strong, Mahabali-type leaders in various parts of the world, leaders who will boldly guide humanity to its next stage of evolution. In the pyramidal figure provided in the blog, I have identified the other Mahabali rulers, in my humble view.

For those less familiar with the Mahabali myth, the commonly held belief is that he was a wise, just, and powerful ancient ruler of Kerala in South India. Though known for being tough and aggressive, this asuric Mahabali was also an excellent administrator, under whose reign the people of Kerala enjoyed peace, prosperity and a tension-free life. His popularity and strength so alarmed the gods that they sought the help of Lord Vishnu to remove him. Onam is still celebrated in Kerala as the day Mahabali visits his people each year.

As is often the case with Indian mythology, there are several versions of this legend, but I refer here only to the most commonly accepted one. (Another great administrator from the asuric tradition is Ravana. Though reviled by many in India, he was a spiritually accomplished meditator and an expert in statecraft and governance.)

Like Trump, many Mahabali-type leaders are unconventional in their language, demeanour and temperament. They speak boldly on topics other politicians tend to avoid. Like Trump, these leaders disregard political correctness and often cause controversy. When in power, they take tough, unconventional decisions. They typically have a patriarchal mindset and exhibit a strong, macho presence.

Such leaders are often harsh on dissent but generally intend to work for the benefit of their people. They dislike opposition and tend to punish those who cross them. Their governance style is centralised, with a high concentration of power in their hands. Yet, like Mahabali, they are usually wise administrators and just rulers.

With Trump’s election, an important node in the pyramid marking the Mahabali era has been completed. Other significant nodes, shown in the figure below, include Xi Jinping in China, Putin in Russia, Netanyahu in Israel and Narendra Modi in India.

What does the formation of this pyramid suggest about the world’s future?

In my humble opinion, it indicates the following:

• The rise of Mahabali-type leaders in many other countries, from the Philippines to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Mexico, bringing with them a focus on progress and governance.

• The emergence of strong, decisive leadership worldwide, unafraid to take bold military action. This will result in a general alignment of opposing forces on the global stage.

• A transitional period during which freedom of speech and fundamental rights will give way to a greater focus on security, material progress, stability and governance. It will be a difficult time for liberal journalists and dissenters.

The spiritual good news is that this pyramid is intended only for a relatively short duration, having been sanctioned at the highest spiritual levels for specific purposes.

Eventually, the world will witness a struggle between these strong, governance-focused leaders and the forces of fundamentalism and outdated thinking. This is one of the main reasons the pyramid of strong leadership is being constructed — to enable collaboration among similar leaders and, ultimately, to cleanse the world of radical and regressive elements.

Everything has a pre-destined expiry date. When the time comes — which, in my humble assessment, will be around 2030 — this Mahabali leadership era will dissolve as swiftly as it arose. Once the intended purpose is fulfilled, these leaders will be replaced by more saatvic personalities, embodying peace and divine qualities. In the case of Mahabali, this transition was carried out by the Vaamana avatar of Lord Vishnu. Likewise, more saatvic leaders will succeed today’s Mahabali figures in due course.

In the meantime, the period of coagulation, conflict and conquest has begun. It marks humanity’s next evolutionary stage. The election of Donald Trump is the harbinger of this Mahabali era.
