The Prophecy of Peter Deunov, he was a Bulgarian Philosopher that lived from 1864-1944 and he made a few days before his death this Prophecy:[http://concen.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=42131&pid=227067#pid227067](http://concen.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=42131&pid=227067#pid227067) Who was this man? ---

Who was this man? Based upon nothing but the Prophesy you linked to, I would characterize him as a high-grade looney. But I admit to being biased against “philosophers” on the whole. ---

What troubles me is the instruction to “force yourself to harmonize with the currents of the ascension”. Forced harmony is the worst kind, in my view. _“Some decades will pass before this Fire will come, that will transform the world by bringing it a new moral. This immense wave comes from cosmic space and will inundate the entire earth. All those that attempt to oppose it will be carried off and transferred elsewhere.”_ This is an unusual claim for End Times folks. Usually it’s the ultra-righteous that get “transferred elsewhere” during the Rapture (and we get to take all their cool stuff, assuming that the righteous possess any such items). ---

I’m not a mental health professional, but I know a [grandiose delusion](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandiose_delusions) when I see one. So, yeah, what **DrFidelius** said; a looney. ---

On what grounds do you call him a philosopher? Nothing in your link calls him one or implies that he might be one. I wonder if you know what the word means. ---

> [@njtt](#): > > On what grounds do you call him a philosopher? Nothing in your link calls him one or implies that he might be one. I wonder if you know what the word means. Wikipedia has him as a “spiritual master,” which I suppose is good work if you can get it. ---

There may, perhaps, be a GQ answer to this question, but I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for. I’ve moved the thread to IMHO. Note to **DrFidelius** and **Shakester** : Your replies are perfectly appropriate here in IMHO, but that’s not the kind of response we generally look for in GQ. ---

> [@Shakester](#): > > I’m not a mental health professional, but I know a [grandiose delusion](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandiose_delusions) when I see one. If the “prophecy” would have begun with something along the lines of “I, the Son of Man and the Light of the Universe, have decided that the following will take place!”, I would have agreed with you. But as it stands, Deunov himself doesn’t seem to play a very big part (or any kind of part, actually) in Deunov’s prophecy, as would surely have been the case had it been a matter of grandiose delusions. ---

he was a [del]New Ager spirit medium[/del] theosophist: > [@](#): > > The New Era is that of the sixth race. Your predestination is to prepare yourself for it, to welcome it and to live it. The sixth race will build itself around the idea of Fraternity. There will be no more conflicts of personal interests; the single aspiration of each one will be to conform himself to the Law of Love. The sixth race will be that of Love. A new continent will be formed for it. It will emerge from the Pacific, so that the Most High can finally establish His place on this planet.
