[b]Happy Ashen Day![/b]
We all know Osiris is currently on Mercury, teaching his famous Cult and coordinating the Trials. But why is he there? He was the Vanguard Commander, the Speaker-in-training. How did he go from that to an exiled cult leader? Simple: he asked the wrong questions.
He became more obsessed with learning about our enemies than simply fighting them. The Speaker, who believes all faith should be put in the Traveler, exiled Osiris after he began to draw a following. Now on Mercury, he uses the Vex gate system to his advantage, looking through as recording what he finds there.
Now, the question is are Osiris' Visions related to Atheon's final thoughts?

What is this vision that Atheon speaks of? Perhaps it is the Vex's plan: to control all timelines. As Praedyth says, "Everything must fit. If it can be made to fit, good. If it can't, it gets cut away." Some Vex have specific visions, like Qodron, have specific visions of their own success, but Vex for the most part have their true vision, and to do this, they have to destroy the Light, because it is painfully hard to simulate.
So far we have access to two of Osiris' visions, each with its own background:
