All the dogma, institutions, and organizations with their hierarchies, titles, silly hats, turbans, and costumes.
All the churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues.
All the mechanical rituals, ceremonies, and superstitions based on a nostalgic, outdated past, corruption of spiritual truths that have used religion for social control, and a mental relationship to an "external God."
It will all perish anyway, and no one can stop it as we enter a new cycle in this cosmic unfolding and descent of the supramental divine consciousness. It's the end of the age of Pisces. The end of all belief systems. The end of religion.
Divine Truth cannot be organized or compiled in a "written word by God." Whenever there is an attempt, the anti-dive forces succeed in manipulating humans through a grain of Truth and distracting them to salvation outside themselves.
Remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street when they saw ahead of them a man bend down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket.
The friend said to the devil, "What did that man pick up?"
"He picked up a piece of Truth," said the devil.
"That is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend.
"Oh, not at all," the devil replied, "I am going to let him organize it."
"The real mischief of the devil is not to sow falsehood and hatred in the world, such as Attila or the Nazis have done – he is far too clever for that – but to lay hands on a grain of Truth and then to twist it ever so slightly. Nothing is more intractable than a perverted truth because the falsehood is made that much stronger by the power of Truth it contains." - Satprem
Yet, we still have a long way to go, for humans are very attached to their beliefs and identification, and we are still like kindergarten children regarding the evolution of consciousness.
We are still distracted by external progress and technological gadgets. At the same time, we neglect our inner lives while identifying with the outer superficial ego-personality, the false persona with all its identifications and attachments.
Nor do we need a one-world religion, a "unification" of all the core ideas of all religions. That is still limited, distorted, and is already being hijacked by the anti-divine forces who bring forth falsehood as "Truth" to introduce a new world [New Age] religion, just as dogmatic Christianity has been hijacked to sell the "savior" program and divert people from Truth.
Atheism will perish as well. Materialistic Science and Darwinism will be an archaic relic of a kindergarten past. It can't stand in the presence of the Divine Truth and Divine Will.
We don't need merely a shift in consciousness but a complete transmutation - the divinization of matter and life. It's not about escaping life, being raptured in "heaven," escaping "Maya," or entering "paradise" in the afterlife. All these ideas are religious distortions of the old world.
The supramental Divine Truth outshining all religions is not a teaching, not moral conduct of rules and principles; it's not an idea or idealogy, a system, a dogma, or an -ism. It can't be organized, controlled, imposed, or taught.
It is nothing the mind can even begin to comprehend. It's the end of the mind [hence supra-mental] and the beginning of the Divine Gnostic Being, embodying the supramental consciousness - the aim of the evolutionary process of humans embodying God's Will, fully and integral.
This is what this Time of Transition is about.
All the dark, errors, imperfections, pathologies, ignorance, secrets, evil, and lies in the world, AND WITHIN YOU, need to come to light and be purified and transmuted in the fire of Agni.
They will be "forced" to come to light in the presence of the Divine Truth. Nothing can stop it in the long run. This is a process that is manifested "externally" in the world and within you, for All is ONE.
But the process will take many more lifetimes in linear time, and it takes conscious Work. It requires the descent into the proverbial "underworld," battling demons within and without including your "dark persona," your shadow you project externally...all of which are your teachers as you pass the tests and lessons.
We didn't come here for vacation, mindless indulgence, and manifestations of our "desires." Your ego may want certain things and experiences - tempted by the matrix forces, but your soul has a different plan, trajectory, and purpose.
For some people, the soul is already ripe enough to engage in this Work consciously, not driven by conditioned desires anymore; for others, it may take a few more lifetimes to "grow the soul" until it "comes to the front" and takes charge and answers the call of the Divine.
Yet you signed up to be here right now, and it's your call to embrace this adventure of consciousness into the unknown and embrace the Great Work we are called to participate in, for the outcome still depends on YOU, even though it is guaranteed. Welcome to the paradox of it all, which your mind won't be able to reconcile.
Godspeed.

The Time of Transition: Is Humanity Awakening or Disintegrating?
"The old spirituality was an escape from life into the divine Reality, leaving the world just where it was, as it was, whereas our new vision, on the contrary, is a divinization of life, a transformation of the material world into a divine world.
It is not the old one transforming itself; it is a new world that is born. And we are right in the midst of this period of transition where the two are entangled — where the other still persists all-powerful and entirely dominating the ordinary consciousness, but where the new one is quietly slipping in, still very modest, unnoticed — unnoticed to the extent that outwardly it doesn’t disturb anything very much, for the time being, and that in the consciousness of most people, it is even altogether imperceptible. And yet it is working, growing — until it is strong enough to assert itself visibly.
In any case, to simplify things, it could be said that characteristically, the old world, the creation of what Sri Aurobindo calls the Overmind, was an age of the gods and, consequently, the age of religions.
As I said, the flower of human effort towards what is above it gave rise to innumerable religious forms, to a religious relationship between the best souls and the invisible world.
And at the very summit of all that, as an effort towards a higher realization, there has arisen the idea of the unity of religions, of this "one single thing" which is behind all these manifestations, and this idea has truly been, so to speak, the extreme limit of human aspiration.
Well, that is at the frontier; it is something that still belongs completely to the Overmind world, the Overmind creation, and which from there seems to be looking towards this "other thing," which is a new creation it cannot grasp — which it tries to reach, feels coming, but cannot grasp. To grasp it, a reversal is needed. It is necessary to leave the Overmind creation. It was necessary that the new creation, the supramental creation, should take place.
And now, all these old things seem so old, so out-of-date, so arbitrary — such a travesty of the real truth.
In the supramental creation, there will no longer be any religions. The whole life will be the expression, the flowering into forms of the divine Unity manifesting in the world.
When the physical substance is supramentalised, to incarnate on earth will no longer be a cause of inferiority; quite the contrary. It will give a plenitude which cannot be obtained otherwise.
But all this is in the future; it is a future... which has begun but which will take some time to be realized integrally. Meanwhile, we are in a very special situation, extremely special, without precedent.
We are now witnessing the birth of a new world; it is very young, very weak — not in its essence but in its outer manifestation — not yet recognized, not even felt, denied by the majority. But it is here. It is here, making an effort to grow, absolutely sure of the result.
But the road to it is a completely new road which has never before been traced out — nobody has gone there, nobody has done that! It is a beginning, a universal beginning. So, it is an absolutely unexpected and unpredictable adventure.
There are people who love adventure. It is these I call, and I tell them this: "I invite you to the great adventure."
It is not a question of repeating spiritually what others have done before us, for our adventure begins beyond that.
It is a question of a new creation, entirely new, with all the unforeseen events, the risks, the hazards it entails — a real adventure whose goal is certain victory, but the road to which is unknown and must be traced out step by step in the unexplored.
Something that has never been in this present universe and that will never be again in the same way. If that interests you... well, let us embark. What will happen to you tomorrow — I have no idea.
One must put aside all that has been foreseen, all that has been devised, all that has been constructed, and then... set off walking into the unknown. And — come what may! There." - The Mother Mirra Alfassa
