Concerning new powers, I believe the prophecy is true, that these things lie dormant within and only true spiritual alchemy will free them in such a way that they will help to establish true authority of Divine Love. "They will be released from that light or soul that we carry to the mind." (implication is individual responsibility)
The Mayans have the same belief, that of the four corners or directions/colors. Their belief includes the formation of a quincunx, the addition of spirit as a fifth direction, during these times. The four directions are all on the same plane and have a common origin (picture the center of an x). The fifth direction, spirit, is perpendicular to them at their point of origin and has something in common (center of the x) with them all as well as adding a new dimension, an all encompassing plane, or rather sphere, of unlimited access to the Divine.
The Kabalistic axiom, "a stone becomes a plant, the plant becomes an animal, the animal becomes man, the man becomes spirit, spirit becomes a god", seems to fit well with this too.
Putting off animality is the key to this transformation. Many will justify it and label the psychical powers derived therein as Divine. Sad mistake.
What an interesting prophecy you have shared today... I thank you deeply.
