Part of a lecture given by Prof.Dr. Prajudi. Dr Prajudi is a university prof. In Jakarta, he teaches economics and law and other social sciences.

Prof P thinks that social-cultural changes in Indonesia can be understood through old javanese predictions. Indonesia especially Java is a very mysterious countrey

As for the predictions of King Djajabaja from Kediri who lived in the 12th century, an new humanity will be born in many parts of the world between the years 2050-2100 . The transition period starts at the year 2000. Thats why all Javanese predictions end in the year 2000. Waths happening in the world and in Indonesia now is , as for the seeeners, with whom I have spoken, is for the common man not anymore to be understood, or answered. What Jesus has said: forget yesterday, live today, tomorrow will be shaped by God, is as for them the right aproach to life.

As for the Javanese predictions in the year 1200, you can divide the development of the people of Java in 5 periods.

The first period is from 1000 before Chris till the year 0 : in this period people and Spirits lived side by side, by which the good people worked together with the good spirits to defend themselves against the dangers of bad people and bad spirits. Probably are the epos storeys of Maharata and Ramayana and the Wajang doll plays born in this period.

The second period is from the year 0 till 1400 : the period of the reign of Boedism and Hindoeism through kings, kasatria's (nobility) and priests ( pendeta's) of the kingkoms of Sriwidjaja and Madjapahit. Ordinary people lived in stupidity and were used for the ugly work.

The third perios starts with the falling in parts of Madjapahi in 1400 Through the introduction of the Islam by Chinese priests coming from Yoenan and Tjempa. They taught the people a very peaceloving and tolerant Islam in comparison with the later agressif Arabic Islam from Hadramaut ( Yemen). But instead of that, the birth of the Islam brought complete social-cultural chaos , and the fall of the imperioum Madjapahit in hunderds and hunderds of small nations which were founded by the through the Islam emancipated people. The new Sultans who came to power were more leader. This period lasted till 1600

The fourth period begins with the arrival of the Euopeans, In old Javanese they were called "Kebo Boele" ( the white buffel) In old Javanese Kebo Boele meant, " the determined white man". Hij is determined in the eyes of the Javanese, because he knows what he does and does what he knows. The white reign of humanity means the reign of reason, knowledge, sciences and technology. As for the old Javanese forsight the white reingh will last till the year 2000

In the 5th period a new humanity will be born, which will be driven by 'ideas' Ideas pursuit the people. Suiecide , people are afraid, sickness, and suffers ilnesses, through his own 'ideas', which in reality do not excist. These ideas are imaginations like ghosts. Bush and his generals are fighting phantoms with tanks, rakets, boms and planes. Terrorism is an idea, no concrete reality, which you can fight with tanks and planes. Terrorism is real when you know who did it.

The new humanity will be led by people who can create and people who can spread 'ideas', with power . New ideas are spread now by televion, computers and internet, through electronis devices ( the fastness of an electron is 3000 km per second) . In not too long we will have fotonetic computers ( who move with 300.000km per second, as fast as light).

I predict that people will change through these developments. Who can not coop , hundreds of millions will go under by the force of these 'ideas' or become zombies.

What did Plato say more than 2000 years ago: not what you see is important, but 'what lies behind' the Idea.
