“Men will build a box and within will | be some kind of gadget with images, but they will not be able to communicate with me already dead, even though this image-gadget will be as close to this other world as hairs on the human scalp are close to each other." white horse governs—one who will come to Serbia, bringing some kind of new religion. He will ascend our throne and will be strong and healthy, living a long life close to one hundred years. He will very much like to hunt, and one time while hunt- ing he will accidentally fall from his white horse and thus lose his leg. From this wound he will die, not because of his great age. Historical Facts: Very simply and accurately, this vision of Tarabich describes life in post-WWII Yugoslavia up to Tito's death in 1981. Tito ‘came’ to Serbia from Croatia, and had really brought with him a “new religion"—Communism, He did not have the hunting acci- dent described by Tarabich (although he was a passionate horse- man and hunter), but nevertheless the real cause of his death was the amputation of his leg, caused by his aggravated diabetes. After his death, a ‘commission’ called the Collective Presidency ruled the country until its collapse in 1991. [another name for crude oil is "black gold"] which will give them light, speed and power, and the Earth will shed tears of sorrow because there will be much more gold and light on its surface than in its interior. The Earth will suffer because of these open wounds. Instead of working in the fields, people will dig everywhere, in right and wrong places, but the real power will be all around them, not being able to tell them, ‘Come on, take me, don't you see that I am here, all around you?’ Only after many a summer, people will remember this real power, and then they will realise how stupid it was to dig all those holes. This power will also be present in people but it will take a long time before they discover it and use it. Thus man will live for a long, long time, not being able to know himself. There will be many learned men who will think through their books that they know and can do everything. They will be the great obstacle for this realisation [self-knowledge], but once men get this knowledge then people will see what kind of delusion it was when they listened to their learned men. When that happens, people will be so sorry that they didn't dis- cover it before, because this knowledge is so simple. People will do many stupid things, thinking that they know and can do everything, not knowing anything. Wise men will appear in the Orient and their wisdom will cross all seas and frontiers, but people will not trust this wisdom for a long time, and this real truth they will proclaim for a lie. Their souls will not be possessed by the Devil, but by some- thing much worse. They will believe that their illusion is the real truth, although there will be no truth in their heads. Here at home it will be the same as all over the world. People will start to hate clean air and this divine freshness and all divine beauty and will hide in rankness. Nobody will force them to do that, but they will do it of their own free will. Here in Kremna, many a field will become a meadow and many a home will be abandoned, but then those who have left will come back to heal themselves by breathing fresh air. In Serbia it wiil not be possible to distinguish a man from a woman. Everybody will dress the same. This calamity will come to us from abroad but it will stay with us the longest. A groom will take a bride, but nobody will know who is who. People will be lost and more and more senseless day by day. Men will be born not knowing who was their grandfather and great-grandfather. People will think that they know everything, but not a thing they will know. The Serbs will separate from each other, and they will say, 'I am not a Serb, I am not a Serb.' The unholy one will infiltrate PREDICTIONS ABOUT CURRENT TIMES? After him, our land will be governed by some kind of commis- sion, but it will never be as it was. Even though the people in our kingdom will forget about mis- ery and hunger and will live in great wealth, brother will start to hate and think evil of brother. On our borders and over them, a new nation will appear. They will grow like grass after a deluge; they will be good and honest, and they will answer our hatred with reason. They will take care of each other like brothers. And we, because of our madness, shall think that we know everything and that we can do anything, and we shall baptise them with some new fate of ours, but all that will be in vain—because they will believe only in themselves and in nobody else. Big trouble will become of it, because this nation will be brave. Many summers this trouble will last, and nobody will be able to stop it because that nation will grow like grass. One who will be born many summers after you [he is speaking to the priest, Zaharic, here] will be honest and intelligent; he will deal with them in peace. We shall live in peace—they there, us here and there. (When Tarabich says “they there, us here and there", he might well be referring to the current situation in the region of Krajina (in Croatia). If you take the "them" to be the Croatians, then he's saying that Croatians will live only in Croatia, while Serbs will live both in Serbia and Croatia (Krajina).] You see, my godfather, when the world starts to live in peace and abundance after the Second Big War, all of that will be just a bitter illusion, because many will forget God and they will wor- ship only their own human intelligence... And do you know, my godfather, what is human intelligence compared to God's will and knowledge? Not even a single drop in the ocean. Men will build a box and within will be some kind of gadget with images, but they will not be able to communicate with me already dead, even though this image-gadget will be as close to this other world as hairs on the human scalp are close to each other. With the help of this image-gadget, man will be able to see everything that is happening all over the world. People will drill wells deep in the ground and dig out gold 26 « NEXUS APRIL-MAY 1996
