Meher Baba’s statement in the “Final Declaration” of 1954 that 3/4’s of the world would be destroyed was later amended to read that he had made this comment “in my language alone”. Thus, we cannot take his remark literally; But in light of recent statistics regarding climate change and degradation of the Earth’s habitat, his remark is certainly suggestive.
In fact, scientific research is already reporting that some %60 of vertebrates have perished since 1970. And climate science is predicting global havoc on an unprecedented scale if global warming is not restricted to 1.5º C, although most scientists are confident that at least 3º C of warming is already in the pipeline. We are indeed facing global catastrophe.
And these climate science predictions are based on the assumption that greenhouse gasses will somehow be reduced dramatically, when in fact current global greenhouse gasses are presently increasing. So, what will be the outcome of global inability- led by the US, to not just not live up to the Paris Accord, but to spectacularly shoot past it by a factor of not just two, but maybe three or four? 3/4’s of the world could easily be destroyed by a global average temperature increase of 3º C- 6º C.
The world as we know it is going to be radically and traumatically transformed. What is not clear is the timeline because of the ambiguity of positive feedback loops. These can not be accurately predicted, although they are certain to powerfully accelerate traumatic global environmental and social transformation.
It is probably safe to say that within the next 50 years, we will see traumatic changes to the world environment and population that will make the changes we have witnessed up to now, look like cake.
Meher Baba has said some very interesting things about America and the role it will play in his Manifestation. In his earliest trip to the US in 1931, Baba remarked that America was useful to him because of its energy, and that although that energy was largely misdirected, he would redirect it with great spiritual result. Meher Baba even said that “America will lead the world spiritually”.
At present, we can only guess as to what this might mean. It is extremely likely that what is implied is that America will lead the world in going Green- except that this is not now the case. What will it take for the US to go Green, and lead the world in going Green? My best guess is that the only way for America to go Green- that is to abdicate fossil fuel and the “Machine Age”, is complete political and economic meltdown. In this light, King Baby Trump is a divine agent of ironic progress. He represents the symbolic end of American economic and political prowess- the imminent end of the American Empire.
