When evolution takes us through one of these four Ages we know that it is a period of great moment. Our present Age of Aquarius is one such moment. It is the Man of St John’s vision and the Man of the Giza Sphinx. Both have used the same cosmic script.
          The Rig Veda is not to be left out. The very same eternal and universal language was employed by the Rishi when he chanted praises to precisely the Preserver Vishnu and in the very same order as they appear in John’s verse. Vishnu Trivikrama ‘measures’ the universe in three strides: Lion (Leo), Bull (Taurus), Friend (Aquarius); his final stride of the three is known in astrological lore as the sign of the Friend, just as the Rishi recorded. But though the connection is unmistakable there is not one scholar or realiser in India or beyond who knows this language to the extent that he can understand the Rishi’s words. For India that Vedic eternal language simply does not exist in the Rig Veda. Rather, it is thought to have been brought to India many centuries later by the Greeks. Hence India has lost all connection with the cosmic surround and therefore with her own destiny as it has been recorded in that ancient Script.
          The Mother was not ambiguous. She described not only the ‘beautiful strange being’ with superb accuracy, particularly emphasising that ‘…the front form was a lion and behind it was a horse’ to make the message unmistakable, but she states that it came ‘to announce something’. Moreover, that it was Sri Aurobindo himself who was conveying the message, using this very same eternal language the Rishis of old had used. Knowledge of gnostic symbols indeed confirms the accuracy of the Mother’s vision because this ‘sphinx’ holds the message of Sri Aurobindo’s two connected appearances on Earth: the first (front form) in the zodiacal sign of the Lion (Leo), and the second (behind) in the sign of the Horse, Sagittarius.
          The importance of this vision is its timing, coming as it did just a few years after his re-entry into Earth time in the month of the Horse, but also the single body of the figure: both images are contained in one symbol as a contiguous form. The meaning is that births in these signs, though separated by 12 years and 356 days, correspond to one manifestation: the 9 becoming the 10 in a connected process. It was not just a lion making a round of the disciple followed by a prancing horse. It was a composite, single being – the two as one. This is what conveys to the Initiate the gnostic content of the vision because in this simple image with its unassuming display of connectedness we have the greatest secret of the Supramental Manifestation preserved in the Mother’s own words.
          But similar to India with regard to the Rig Veda, there was no one in the Mother’s entourage in 1967 who could understand, who could see along with her. We realise that had things been organised differently, had the Mother collected around herself beings of a higher degree of initiation into these Mysteries, the history of the Supramental Manifestation would have been quite different over these brief three decades, during which time so much damage has been done to the Master’s work. To begin, the Temple would stand today as her vision based on her precise plan, and not the shadow of it that has been constructed in Auroville and passed off as hers. 

‘Coincidence’ revisited
          - Is it a coincidence that the Sphinx at Giza, the great marker of the Earth’s destiny, should be composed of Man and Lion and that she was built (now confirmed by geologists) 12,000 years ago in, precisely, the Age of Leo, the Lion? And that she was definitively uncovered from the desert sands in 1926, the very year the astrological Age of that Man (Aquarius) began?
