Prophecy
The voice of the divine – messages beyond time, bridging the human and the transcendent
Definition:
Prophecy refers to the reception and transmission of messages from a higher, spiritual source, often perceived as God, the Universe, spirit beings, the Higher Self, or collective consciousness. While often associated with foretelling the future, true prophecy is more about revealing deep truths, offering guidance, insight, warning, or inspiration.
A prophet is seen as a messenger or intermediary, someone who receives insights from beyond ordinary perception—through visions, dreams, inner knowing, or direct revelation—and delivers them in service to truth, healing, and collective transformation.
