The following comments and observations are from c5’s Simian Roadhouse | April 7, 2011 | Consigliere5
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2701340/posts – comment
Let’s begin with a list of items that I will attempt to show:
The United Nations has been infused with the evil New Age religion of Theosophy which reveres Lucifer.
The United Nations operates its own Meditation Room and Catholic chapel.
The UN Meditation Room is used monthly by a few Theosophical groups who meditate there around the changing of the moon.
The United Nations General Assembly room is reported to contain a “being” called the Avatar of Synthesis.
People who channel demons have done so inside of the UN headquarters in NYC.
I will provide personally filmed video documentation showing that Lucis Publishing Company was at one time named Lucifer Publishing Company. (My youtube video is here.)
I will also provide personally filmed video documentation showing that Lucis Trust put their evil “prayer”, The Great Invocation, in an issue of Reader’s Digest magazine in 1982. This will also show that the Lucis Trust was at one time headquartered within the United Nations greater compound in NYC. (My youtube video is here)
NOTE: Any references in this post to “the Christ”, “the Cosmic Christ” or the “Christ Consciousness” should be thought of as pointing not to the Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible, but to the New Age version who is thought to be just one of many “World Teachers” or “Avatars” or “Spiritual Masters”.
The goal of this post is to reach the average person and show them just how scary the United Nations is without using any “conspiracy” type phrases that might chase them away.
I will not be using terms like “Bilderberger” or “Freemasonry” or “Club of Rome”. I’m afraid there’s no way to get around the use of the word “Theosophy”, though, as it is necessary to begin there.
Let’s start with some general statements about theosophy from wikipedia:
Theosophy is a doctrine of religious philosophy and mysticism. Theosophy holds that all religions are attempts by the Occult Brotherhood to help humanity in evolving to greater perfection, and that each religion therefore has a portion of the truth. Modern Theosophical esotericism, however, begins with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891) usually known as Madame Blavatsky. In 1875 she founded the Theosophical Society in New York City together with Henry Steel Olcott… The present-day New Age movement is to a considerable extent based on, or rather say derived from, the teachings of Blavatsky, though some writers have described Alice Bailey as the founder of the “New Age movement”
BAILEY AND BLAVATSKY:
More from wiki: Alice Ann Bailey (June 16, 1880 – December 15, 1949), known as Alice A. Bailey or AAB, was an influential writer and theosophist in what she termed “Ageless Wisdom.” This included occult teachings, “esoteric” psychology and healing, astrological and other philosophic and religious themes. Alice Bailey was born as Alice LaTrobe Bateman, in Manchester, England at 7:32 am GMT. She moved to the United States in 1907, where she spent most of her life as a writer and teacher. Her works, written between 1919 and 1949, describe a wide-ranging system of esoteric thought covering such topics as how spirituality relates to the solar system, meditation, healing, spiritual psychology, the destiny of nations, and prescriptions for society in general. She described the majority of her work as having been telepathically dictated to her by a “Master of the Wisdom”, initially referred to only as “the Tibetan”, or by the initials “D.K.”, later identified as “Djwhal Khul.” Yes, that means Alice Bailey was given the text of her writings through the channeling of a demon.
wiki: Her writings were influenced by the works of Madame Blavatsky. Though Bailey’s writings differ from the orthodox Theosophy of Madame Blavatsky, they also have much in common with it. She wrote about religious themes, including Christianity, though her writings are fundamentally different from many aspects of Christianity and of other orthodox religions. Her vision of a unified society includes a global “spirit of religion” different from traditional religious forms and including the concept of the Age of Aquarius. “…her writings are fundamentally different from many aspects of Christianity…”
Different from many aspects?? How about: the complete opposite!! Yes, folks, it’s really true that Alice Bailey didn’t just channel a demon for her writings, she also embraced Lucifer. In the early 1920’s, Alice Bailey founded the Lucis Trust. This company had several components: The Lucis Publishing Company, World Goodwill, The Arcane School, and Triangles. She published her 24 books with the Lucis Publishing Company. There was a time, however, during the first 2 or 3 years, when it was called the Lucifer Publishing Company. Yes, that sounds too good to be true. Like it’s just a myth that gets copy/pasted from one conspiracy theory site to the next. That’s what I used to think. Until I got my hands on a first edition copy of one of her first books that was published before the name change and filmed it to put on youtube HERE.
PLEASE CONFIRM FOR YOURSELF EVERYTHING THAT’S WRITTEN HERE. If you don’t fully believe it, this post will be ho-hum instead of frightening. After I wasted money to buy the book, I found that the Lucis Trust site itself even admits this embarrassing tidbit. This one beautiful paragraph confirms both the name change and the fact that Bailey and her devotees admire Lucifer:
“There are comments on the World Wide Web claiming that the Lucis Trust was once called the Lucifer Trust. Such was never the case. However, for a brief period of two or three years in the early 1920’s, when Alice and Foster Bailey were beginning to publish the books published under her name, they named their fledgling publishing company “Lucifer Publishing Company”.By 1925 the name was changed to Lucis Publishing Company and has remained so ever since. Both “Lucifer” and “Lucis” come from the same word root, lucis being the Latin generative case meaning of light. The Baileys’ reasons for choosing the original name are not known to us, but we can only surmise that they, like the great teacher H.P. Blavatsky, for whom they had enormous respect, sought to elicit a deeper understanding of the sacrifice made by Lucifer. Alice and Foster Bailey were serious students and teachers of Theosophy, a spiritual tradition which views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels, those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus “the fall”) from Venus to our planet eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man. In the theosophical perspective, the descent of these solar Angels was not a fall into sin or disgrace but rather an act of great sacrifice, as is suggested in the name “Lucifer” which means light-bearer.”
Here’s a video clip by Brannon Howse on Alice Bailey.
So, how does a Satan praising group started by a demon- channeller connect to the United Nations? There are many ways.
Lucis Trust was… oh, wait… what’s that? You’re still not convinced about that whole Lucifer thing? Okay, I have some more.
“…Lucifer is divine and terrestrial light, the “Holy Ghost” and “Satan,” at one and the same time… And now it stands proven that Satan, or the Red Fiery Dragon… and Lucifer, or “Light-Bearer,” is in us: it is our Mind—our tempter and Redeemer, our intelligent liberator and Saviour from pure animalism.”
— Helena Blavatsky. The Secret Doctrine. Vol. II, Pp. 513.
“So little have the first Christians (who despoiled the Jews of their Bible) understood the first four chapters of Genesis in their esoteric meaning, that they never perceived that not only was no sin intended in this disobedience, but that actually the “Serpent” was “the Lord God” himself, who, as the Ophis, the Logos, or the bearer of divine creative wisdom, taught mankind to become creators in their turn.”
— Helena Blavatsky. The Secret Doctrine. Vol. II, Pp. 215
“To make the point clear once for all: that which the clergy of every dogmatic religion — pre-eminently the Christian — points out as Satan, the enemy of God, is in reality, the highest divine Spirit — (occult Wisdom on Earth) […] both these Churches [Catholic and Protestant] are fighting against divine Truth, when repudiating and slandering the Dragon of esoteric (because divine) Wisdom. [i.e. Satan]”
— Helena Blavatsky. The Secret Doctrine. Vol. II, Pp. 377-78

Sooo… what’s with all this Theosophical nonsense about the Solar Logos and the Seven Rays?
From Michael S. Coffman, Ph.D. at Discerning the Times:
“Theosophy is a blend of eastern and western religions,(2) most closely aligned with Vedic Hinduism, complete with a caste system. Theosophical principles found fertile ground in America when Alice Bailey broke away from the Theosophical Society in the early 1900s. The work of Lucis Trust is carried out through its Arcane School of the occult and World Goodwill.(4) Together, they carry out what is termed “The Plan,” which is revealed in 24 books written by Bailey and published by Lucis Trust. Bailey claims Djwhal Khul, her Ascended Master, actually wrote the books through her using automatic writing while she was in a trance.(5) Ascended Masters, according to Theosophy, are superhuman beings who are part of an exalted hierarchy of demigods that secretly guide the affairs of humanity.
The focus of the Plan is to usher in the “Harmonic Convergence,” also known as the Omega, Mind Convergence, Fusion or Turning Point. The momentous event represents the point in time when man evolves or leaps forward into his “higher self” and becomes one with the cosmos and the web of life. This can occur only when nations put aside their differences in a “New World Order” of global unity and peace,(6) where tolerance, love, harmony amongst mankind and the Earth is the central message of a diverse, but common religion based in pantheism.
Theosophy is steeped in the black arts and occult. Lucifer is its god, and higher level Theosophists can have a real hatred for Christians. Christians, they believe, have not only desecrated their god, but like the Jews, believe themselves to be “separate” from the world and therefore impeding the implementation of the Harmonic Convergence…”
Now let’s move over to a transcription of Christian Chris White’s video about David Icke:
One of the best ways to demonstrate that David still holds these theosophical views today is with David’s view of the so-called Solar Logos. As we just read David believed that there is a literal Sun God called the Solar Logos, and that the Solar Logos was going to be the entity that wouldsend the energy to raise our consciousness and make us, well, godlike. When Icke said earlier “At the head of our solar system is the Solar Logos, Working with the Lords of the Rays who control the energies that effect consciousness and spiritual development of life forms.” He is talking about how in theosophy it is the Solar Logos that is going to send rays that are suppose to raise the consciousness of the earth.13
Alice Bailey’s Idea was that these ‘Seven Rays’ would be generated from the Galactic Logos whom she often referred to as “the One about whom Naught may be said” these special rays would be filtered through the sun god and then come to the earth to change us and the earth spirit or Gaia.
A few paragraphs written by some guy named Philip Jones:
The Solar Logos. Throughout the Ancient World, the Sun was worshipped in many guises as God. In Babylon it was Nimrod, in Egypt- Osiris, the Canaanites worshipped Baal and in Greece, it was Apollo. The New Age Sun God is called the `Solar Logos` or `The Word` thereby blasphemously counterfeiting the Biblical Jesus Christ. In her book, `Rays and Initiations`, Alice Bailey reveals this Solar Logos as Lucifer himself. Today, as in millennia past, the Sun God is being worshipped by the New Age as divine.
David Spangler, refers to the Sun God in these terms: “The light that reveals to us the path to the New Age `Christ` comes from Lucifer. He is the light giver. It is his light that heralds for man the dawn of a greater consciousness. The true light of this great being can only be recognised when one’s own eyes see with the light of the inner sun. It is an invitation into the New Age.”
The ancient doctrine of the Sun God or Solar Logos melds itself easily with Pantheism, which as we have seen is at the moment a core dogma of the New Age. By denying the existence of a personal God, whilst insisting that the universe itself is God, New Agers declare that as man is part of the universe, man is also God. The Luciferian master plan cannot succeed unless people accept that there is no God who loves and cares for them. Therefore, accepting that the Moon, the Stars, the Galaxies are all Gods in themselves, the New Age Sun God or Solar Logos as humanity’s master becomes a required tenet of belief and we can establish that throughout man’s history, all `Sun God’s have been nothing more than guises for the great deceiver, Lucifer.
LUCIS TRUST: THE ARCANE SCHOOL, WORLD GOODWILL, TRIANGLES:
From wikipedia: In 1923, with the help of Foster Bailey, Alice Bailey also founded the Arcane School (also part of Lucis Trust), which gave (and still gives) a series of correspondence courses based on her heterodox version of Theosophy. The Lucis Trust website and Alice Bailey’s autobiography also state that, together with Foster Bailey, she created the “World Goodwill”organization to promote what she called “Love in Action”.[37][38] The stated purposes of World Goodwill, according to its sponsoring organization, the Lucis Trust, are: “To help mobilise the energy of goodwill; To cooperate in the work of preparation for the reappearance of the Christ; To educate public opinion on the causes of the major world problems and to help create the thoughtform of solution.” (from the Christian website, In Plain Site:)
The Arcane School: Founded in 1923 the school provides training for new age discipleshipthrough correspondence courses in meditation and the occult from its branches in New York, Geneva, London and Buenos Aires.
Triangles: In 1937 Lucis Trust also founded a world-wide “Triangles” program. A triangle “symbolic of the essential Trinity of the Godhead” is a global network of cells, whose members pray a “Great Invocation.” It brings people together in groups of three for daily meditation, whereby “a network of light and goodwill covering the entire planet is created and maintained”. Their belief is that they receive divine energy through meditation; this energy is transmitted to humanity, so raising spiritual awareness.
In the words of the Lucis Trust:
A triangle is a group of three people who link each day in thought for a few minutes of creative meditation. They need not necessarily live in the same locality, and many international triangles exist. Each day members sit quietly for a few minutes and link mentally with other members of their triangle, or triangles. They invoke the energies of light and goodwill, visualising these energies as circulating through the three focal points of each triangle, and pouring out through the network of triangles surrounding the planet. At the same time they repeat the Great Invocation, thus helping to form a channel for the downpouring of light and love into the consciousness of humanity.
World Goodwill: Founded in 1932, The World Goodwill group is particularly important among Lucis Trust’s activities as the organization is recognized by the United Nations today as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), and is represented at regular briefing sessions at the United Nations in New York and Geneva. The Lucis Trust is on the Roster of the UN Economic and Social Council. [14] According to the World Goodwill site, it is:
“an accredited non-governmental organisation with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations” and maintains “informal relations with certain of the Specialised Agencies and with a wide range of national and international non-governmental organisations is an activity of the Lucis Trust”. The stated objectives of World Goodwill according to its sponsoring organization, the Lucis Trust, are:[Emphasis Added]
“To help mobilise the energy of goodwill; To cooperate in the work of preparation for the reappearance of the Christ; To educate public opinion on the causes of the major world problems and to help create the thoughtform of solution.” [15]
Back to the UN connections:
The Lucis Trust used to have its own show called “Inner Sight” which could be heard in NYC on the radio. During the introduction of each episode, you could hear the following: “Lucis Trust. A non-profit, non-political and non-sectarian organization on the Roster of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations…” Some of these episodes can be listened to on youtube from their own youtube account. (as well as on BlogTalkRadio) Check out the intro for yourself. Or check out the UN website listing here (PDF) of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) which have UN “Consultative status.” (You’ll have to scroll down to page 80)
from the UN site:
Q. What is consultative status?
Non-governmental, non-profit public or voluntary organizations may be admitted into a mutually beneficial working relationship with the United Nations by attaining consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). This status is based on Article 71 of the Charter of the United Nations and on ECOSOC Resolution 1996/31 adopted in 1996. The rights and privileges enumerated in detail in ECOSOC resolution 1996/31, enable qualifying organizations to make a contribution to the work programmes and goals of the United Nations by serving as technical experts, advisers and consultants to governments and Secretariat. Sometimes, as advocacy groups, they espouse UN themes, implementing plans of action, programmes and declarations adopted by the United Nations. In concrete terms this entails their participation in ECOSOC and its various subsidiary bodies through attendance at these meetings, and also through oral interventions and written statements on agenda items of those bodies. In addition, organizations, qualifying for General Category consultative status, may propose new items for consideration by the ECOSOC. Organizations granted status are also invited to attend international conferences called by the U.N., General Assembly special sessions, and other intergovernmental bodies. (The participation modalities for NGOs are governed by the rules of procedure of those bodies).
By the way, the Lucis Trust website confirms that the Inner Sight show used to be broadcast on the radio in NYC: The Inner Sight radio program was originally broadcast at 7:30 am US Eastern Time each Sunday morning in the New York area on WOR Radio 710 AM (until November 2 2008).
Let’s now take some time out to reflect upon some “inspirational” passages from Alice Bailey via “The Tibetan/Djwhal Khul”:
“For the first time in human history, the lines of demarcation between that which is right from the angle of the spiritual values (the essential freedom of the human spirit) and that which is wrong (the imprisonment of the human spirit by materialistic conditions) are clearly perceived by the majority of the nations of the planet. Within the United Nations is the germ and the seed of a great international and meditating, reflective group—a group of thinking and informed men and women in whose hands lies the destiny of humanity.”
— Alice Bailey, Discipleship In the New Age, Vol. II
“The world is not yet full of love and few there are that understand the true meaning of the word. But—speaking symbolically—when the United Nations has emerged into factual and actual power, the welfare of the world will then be assured. What is that welfare but love in action? What are right human relations but love among men, groups and nations? What is international cooperation but love on a world scale?”
— Alice Bailey, The Externalisation of the Hierarchy
These passages can be confirmed via the above link which leads to the site of a Bailey-devoted New Age group.
THE MEDITATION ROOM:
You can confirm the existence of this room using this link from the UN site. You’ll find these paragraphs on that page:
In the original plan for the new Headquarters, a tiny room had been provided as a place dedicated to silence, where people could withdraw into themselves, regardless of their faith, creed or religion, but Dag Hammarskjöld wanted something more dignified. In his efforts he was supported by a group, composed of Christians, Jews, and Moslems, the “Friends of the UN Meditation Room”, who combined their efforts and provided the money for a room worthy of a world organization. The work on the room began, and Mr. Hammarskjöld personally planned and supervised in every detail the creation of the “Meditation Room”.
P.S.: Dag Hammarskjöld was the UN Secretary General from 1953 until 1961.
More from the site: “He banned chairs and replaced them with benches; in the center of the room he placed a six-and-half-ton rectangular block of iron ore, polished on the top and illuminated from above by a single spotlight. This block, which was a gift of the King of Sweden and a Swedish mining company, was the only symbol in the Room. Mr. Hammarskjöld described it as “…a meeting of the light, of the sky, and the earth… it is the altar to the God of all…. we want this massive altar to give the impression of something more than temporary…”.
In addition, an abstract mural, a composition of interlocking geometric patterns which is supposed to evoke a feeling of the essential oneness of God, was ordered by Dag Hammarskjöld from his artist friend Bo Beskow.
The room was re-opened in 1957. Dag Hammarskjöld wrote the following text to be distributed to the visitors of the room:
“We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence. This house, dedicated to work and debate in the service of peace, should have one room dedicated to silence in the outward sense and stillness in the inner sense. It has been the aim to create in this small room a place where the doors may be open to the infinite lands of thought and prayer. People of many faiths will meet here, and for that reason none of the symbols to which we are accustomed in our meditation could be used. However, there are simple things which speak to us all with the same language. We have sought for such things and we believe that we have found them in the shaft of light striking the shimmering surface of solid rock.
But the stone in the middle of the room has more to tell us. We may see it as an altar, empty not because there is no God, not because it is an altar to an unknown god, but because it is dedicated to the God whom man worships under many names and in many forms.
There is an ancient saying that the sense of a vessel is not in its shell but in the void. So it is with this room. I t is for those who come here to fill the void with what they find in their center of stillness.”
Here’s a quote from the book “Spiritual Politics” by New Agers Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson:
“Someone who understood very clearly the role of love and sacrifice in the life of the United Nations was former Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, one of the most widely respected world leaders in modern history. He was instrumental in redesigning the UN meditation room, which had come into existence through the efforts of the Laymen’s Movement for a Christian World. The room is a place of quiet stillness and has been referred to as one of the holiest of holies on the planet, yet it is accessible to the public on request from the visitors lobby. It is the focus for the energies of a unified planet and humanity, and for right relations among all kingdoms of life. When Gordon worked for the UN for four years with World Goodwill, an NGO there, he meditated daily in this room and experienced a very powerful energy helping to support the synthesis of nations and the emergence of the Soul of humanity. (you can use “Google Books” to confirm this quote) (just another bit of confirmation that Lucis Trust was working within the UN through their group World Goodwill… and Gordon was within the UN Headquarters daily for four years)
A few bits of info on “the Laymen’s Movement for a Christian World”: from a Nov. 16, 1953 article in Time magazine:
Lee H. Bristol Jr., a 3O-year-old Manhattan businessman, is a good example of a layman who works hard for Christianity without stumbling into either pitfall. He is a devout Episcopalian. As a licensed lay reader, a synod delegate and field worker for his church’s New York diocese, he tries his best to gain more followers for what he calls “the sleeping giant” of U.S. religious bodies. As vice president of the Laymen’s Movement for a Christian World, he tries to make Christian principles felt in various segments of public life, e.g., by helping to get a prayer room installed in Manhattan’s U.N. headquarters (TIME, Nov. 10, 1952). A talented organist and amateur composer, he has also written and set to music some 30 up-to-date hymns.
from Nov. 10, 1952 Time magazine article: “Religious groups have long insisted that there should be a place for prayer at United Nations headquarters. The new headquarters in Manhattan has one—at least it is a place where a man can pray if he wants to. With due regard to the anti-religious feelings of Stalin & Co., it is called a “Meditation Room.”
The room on the main floor of the General Assembly building is V-shaped, with off-white curtains, a dark green rug, and five rows of dignified russet chairs. (The chairs are seldom occupied, and guards on duty nearby have yet to see a delegate go there to meditate.) Visitors are told that absolute neutrality of décor is necessary in “this most sensitive of emotional fields.” Therefore, there is nothing in the room to remind one of any of the world’s religions. The U.N. flag, however, is tastefully displayed against the wall, and there is a pedestal set at the end of the room, with a bowl of flowers on it. As the commanding point ki the room, the pedestal has been designed to “go back to nature itself, like almost all religions.” It is an upright section of a mahogany tree, believed to be from the Belgian Congo, and about 250 years old.
Here’s an article and photo of a group of hooligan yoga practitioners desecrating the “holy” space of the UN Meditation Room. Just look at how they haphazardly tossed their gym accessories at the base of that cold slab of iron ore!
Now let’s look at some groups who hold silent meditations inside this UN Meditation Room:
CSVGC-NY: NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns (CSVGC-NY) This group holds regular meditation sessions and discussions inside the Meditation Room of the UN Headquarters. Here is the group’s “Evolving Mission Statement”:
The Committee aims to integrate spirituality and values into all areas of the United Nations agenda and of public policy. We aspire to support the spiritual principles, global ethics and universal values such as respect, justice, peace, dignity, freedom, responsibility and cooperation, that underlie the work of the United Nations as reflected in the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In order to fulfill the promise of the United Nations to create a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, we support the recognition and acceptance that spirituality and adherence to universal values are key factors in providing solutions to global concerns. This committee recognizes the importance of connecting with our divine essence, inner wisdom and the oneness of life. We believe that an increased awareness and application of the importance of a value, spirit and soul conscious dimension at all levels of society particularly at the United Nations will allow for the finest and the highest levels of human potential to flourish for the benefit of all.
Here is a photo of the group silently meditating in the UN Meditation Room, perhaps offering up thanks to “the ascended masters” for their “good wisdom” given over these many years.
THE SPIRITUAL CAUCUS AT THE UNITED NATIONS:
from their website: The Spiritual Caucus supports the aims of the United Nations as expressed in the Preamble to the UN Charter.
We seek to balance and strengthen the endeavors of the UN system and its affiliates with inner reflection and stillness. We meet from October to June at the UN Headquarters to spend time together in silent reflection, share our insights, and explore ways of using this inner focus to serve the highest potential of the UN. Anyone interested in supporting the UN in this way is welcome to join us. We invite groups and individuals who cannot be with us in person to connect with us in silence on the first and third Thursday of the month.
Next meeting: Conference Room NGO Resource Center, GA37 Basement, UN Headquarters UN Plaza, New York Entrance to GA 37 is past the vending machines near the Post Office. No ground pass is needed. The Spiritual Caucus meets from October to June on the third Thursday of the month from 1:15 – 2:30 pm in the UN. A valid UN grounds pass is required to attend certain meetings. During each meeting, 30 minutes are spent in silent reflection. Meetings for 2010 – 2011 will be on: October 21 ; November 18; December 16; January 20 2011; February 17; March 17; April 21; May 19; June 16.
On the first Thursday of each month, all are invited to gather informally at 12:45 in the UN Meditation Room for a period of silent reflection. No UN Ground Passes are required.
Well, so what? Sounds pretty harmless to me… They’re just reflecting! You’ve never reflected before?? They might be holding discussions about feeding the needy through the good people at UNICEF! Surely even *you* can’t find any faults with UNICEF… I don’t see any kind of connection to Bailey or DJ Wall Cool or whatever the heck…
But you didn’t let me finish: One of the pages from the website of Lucis Trust group “World Service” has this to say about the two co-conveners of the Spiritual Caucus at the United Nations:
Steve Nation: Steve, a New Zealander, has been a student of the Alice Bailey teachings for over 30 years. He and his late wife, Jan, worked for almost 20 years with the Lucis Trust in London. Together they founded Intuition in Service and the United Nations Days & Years Meditation Initiative. He now lives with his wife, Barbara Valocore, in Hudson Valley, NY, USA where he co-ordinates the Intuition in Service work and is involved with a number of international groups, including the Darjeeling Goodwill Animal Shelter and Darjeeling Goodwill Centre in India. Steve is Co-Convenor of the Spiritual Caucus at the United Nations. During the 1970s he and Jan helped to establish the Triangle Centre, a Unit of Service associated with World Goodwill, in Paekakariki, New Zealand. The commentaries available here are sometimes used at world service meditation meetings of the Rosendale Goodwill Group, meeting at the Lifebridge Sanctuary.
Barbara Valocore: Barbara is a long-time student of the Alice Bailey teachings. She spent most of her life as a performing artist in New York and Los Angeles until the early 1990’s when she had the opportunity in 1992 to found The Lifebridge Foundation with her father, Paul Hancock, an early cable television pioneer. Dedicated to promoting the concept of the interconnectedness of all life and one humanity, Lifebridge has funded cutting edge and visionary projects. In 2005 she launched the Lifebridge Sanctuary, a centre in upstate New York, USA, where small groups meet for deep dialogue and reflection. Barbara is Co-Convenor of the Spiritual Caucus at the United Nations.
AQUARIAN AGE COMMUNITY:
The Aquarian Age Community is a meditation group who get their inspiration from Blavatsky and Bailey. They get together monthly for meditation in the UN Meditation Room.
From their website: The effect of human meditation at this time is to change conditions, to invoke the higher spiritual potencies, to work with concentration—both vertically and horizontally—within the world of spiritual energies and within the world of human affairs. The ultimate result of effective meditation in the consciousness of the individual is enlightenment and illumination—leading to an increased ability to cooperate in the creative and redemptive purposes of our planetary life.
Please join us in the United Nations Meditation Room on the following dates in 2011 promptly at noon. Open to the Public; Use the United Nations Visitor’s Entrance at 46th Street and 1st Avenue.
This can also be found on the same page:
The Aquarian Age Community is a non-profit, accredited non-governmental organization (NGO). In association with the United Nations’ Department of Public Information. Let’s read some of the passages of writing that can be found on this page of their site:
“The United Nations is a place of convergence for the dreams and prayers of all people for a better world. It constitutes one of the greatest and most exciting attempts at total human fulfillment in the entire evolution of the species. The Charter of the U.N. is the Ten Commandments of nation-states. The Meditation Room at the United Nations was first established by a lay Christian organization, and re-modeled by Dag Hammarskjöld, a former Secretary-General, who called it a ‘Room of Quiet’. It was thought that the ‘house’, the council of nations, dedicated to work and debate in the service of peace, should have one room dedicated to silence in the outward sense and stillness in the inner sense.
Dr. Robert Muller, Secretary of ECOSOC, speaking at the 20th Anniversary of the U.N. Meditation Room said, ‘Meditation, prayer, dream, hope, vision, guidance, foreseeing and planning all go hand in hand in so many different ways at the U.N. For me the tall building of the U.N. is an edifice of human hope and dream jutting into the universe and receiving from that universe increasingly clearer messages. Perhaps we have reached a time of cosmic evolution. Little by little, a planetary prayer book is being composed by an increasingly united humanity seeking its oneness, its happiness, its consciousness and its full participation in the continuous process of creation’.
Once again, but this time on a universal scale, mankind is seeking no less than its reunion with the ‘divine’, its transcendence into even higher forms of life.”
Andrew Young, the United States permanent representative to the U.N., speaking of the Meditation Room said: ‘I pray that the tranquility of the “Room of Quiet” transcends throughout the world and provides the inspiration for peace and brotherhood’-Goodwill.
In further reference to the U.N., Alice A. Bailey in The Reappearance of the Christ said, ‘The Hierarchy is at this time attempting to channel the forces of reconstruction into the Assembly of the United Nations. (The forces of reconstruction are related to the Will aspect of divinity and are effective mainly in relation to those entities, which we call nations.) The use of these impersonal energies is dependent on the quality and the nature of the recipient nation; on its measure of true enlightenment and on its point in evolution. Nations are the expression today of the massed self-centredness of a people and of their instinct to self-preservation. The main object of the Hierarchy is so to distribute these constructive energies that the theory of unity may slowly be turned into practice and the word “United” may come to have a true significance and meaning.’ Also in The Reappearance of the Christ it is stated that: the one who works to produce at-one-ment, unification and fusion is generating a slowly growing will-to-unity within the Assembly of the United Nations. This being can only channel His energies through the mass consciousness or through a group conscious entity, such as the U.N.
Let us now consider some thoughts on the reappearance of the Christ in relation to the U.N. The Tibetan Master has said it is in the hands of the masses of right thinking people in every land that the salvation of the world lies and by them the preparatory work for the coming of the Christ will be done. The Tibetan Master says He will come when mankind is ready. It may not be unreasonable to suppose that the Christ may return to Earth through the ‘ house’ of the nations. If He wishes to reach the people of all nations, what better place than the focal point of the nations, humanity’s point of tension-the U.N.? Perhaps this may be thought of as ‘the Son returns to the Father’s House’. Again it would not be beyond reason to expect that one of the first places He would visit would be the U.N., to see how, through humanity, the plan is working out. Perhaps Dag Hammarskjöld and U Thant may be considered as forerunners, as 20th Century John the Baptists.
Please note the phrase “The Great Invocation” in this paragraph:
Some further points for consideration: the U.N. was formed in June 1945 with one of its main objectives being the establishment of right human relations. In June 1945, the Christ announced that He had decided to emerge again into physical contact with humanity, if they would bring about the initial stages of establishing right human relations. Also in June 1945, at the time of the Full Moon of the Christ, He gave to humanity a world prayer-the Great Invocation. To consider theGreat Invocation, line by line, in relation to the U.N. can be most exciting and rewarding thought expansion.
now let’s move to this page also on the same site:
“Let Purpose guide the little wills of men”. It is not a coincidence that we are celebrating both the 50th anniversary of the Great Invocation and the United Nations. Both in different ways are pivotal to the Plan and much as yet remains to be done before the purpose of either can be fully realized. Let us therefore utilize our opportunity today and continue to hold and deepen the group’s spiritual tension. Let us together, complete the triangle of light, love and power and from this vantage point, let us contemplate that world body–“the hope of humanity”–which was conceived just 50 years ago under the impulse of the three spiritual Festivals. (falling on March 28th, April 27th and May 26th)
THE GREAT INVOCATION:
According to this Christian man: In Oct. 1982, the Lucis Trust published in the Reader’s Digest a full page advertisement called “The Great Invocation.” You can see this here.
(As you can see from the very bottom of the above link, Lucis Trust headquarters used to be located at 866 United Nations Plaza. It was located within the United Nations complex. (Some conspiracy sites try to claim that it was located at 666 United Nations Plaza). It is currently located at 120 Wall Street on the 24th Floor.)
I ordered that particular back issue of the Reader’s Digest and filmed it for youtube HERE. More writings from this man’s site: First, a reminder and warning to Christians about Bailey and her writings:
Is it possible that after knowing all of these facts that there remains one more great danger for the Christian? The greatest danger for a Christian has not as yet been fully discussed. I firmly believe that many, many, *Christians can easily be entrapped by Bailey’s theology due to their lack of Scriptural knowledge* and, hence, their *extreme misunderstanding of such Bailey terms as the “Christ” and by her clever re-interpretation of Scriptural concepts*. A vast number of individuals have the impression that Bailey’s Christ is Jesus Christ. As an example, in reference 3 on page 54, one can find a brief biography of Alice A. Bailey. The writer of this biography leads one to believe that Bailey’s Christ is, indeed, Jesus Christ. He writes, “. . . the figure Christ continued to play a central part of her beliefs.” As this analysis has irrefutably demonstrated, this last statement implies a false conclusion, since *Bailey’s Christ in “dense physical plane form” is NOT Christ Jesus as He is known throughout the orthodox Christian community, but is rather the Antichrist*.
And here he translates what her New Age words actually mean:
With respect to The Great Invocation, the following are the specific Bailey code word correspondences that have been identified within this research. T he Bailey term or phrase appears on the left and the corresponding Scriptural (or otherwise identified) term or phrase appears on the right of the => symbol.
* Light, light => Luciferian enlightenment. * God => Satan. * stream forth => overshadow. * love => various forms of Scripturally defined evil or, generally, hatred. * Christ => Antichrist. * little wills of men => the claimed unintelligent, weak and inferior desires of individuals; especially those that follow conservative Judeo-Christian doctrine. * purpose => to prepare for the appearance of the Antichrist. * Masters => demons or demon controlled individuals. * race of men => “humanity,” as ruled by Lucifer. * plan => complete world domination in preparation for and after the appearance of the Antichrist. * seal the door where evil dwells => violent, if necessary, eradication of those that follow Judaism, conservative Christianity, some liberal Christianity, and other similar orthodox religions. * power => often hideous and actual destructive forces.
It is an interesting exercise to re-write The Great Invocation with the true meanings of the code words substituted into the appropriate places. This rather interesting quote can be found on the Lucis Trust website (but only if you utilize the Internet Archive Wayback Machine):
The Great Invocation if given widespread distribution, can be to the new world religion what the Lord’s Prayer has been to Christianity and the 23rd Psalm has been to the spiritually minded Jew. This year in June, many New Agers and perhaps some duped Christians will be celebrating World Invocation Day. You can watch Lucis Trust’s promotional youtube video here about this joyous celebration here. Though I don’t suggest watching the final two minutes when the “prayer” is recited. I couldn’t bear to watch that part. If you watched it, please also watch this one about trying to get Christians to pray against it.
THE AVATAR OF SYNTHESIS:
Here’s another quote from the New Age tome of “Wisdom” entitled “Spiritual Politics”:
From the deeper perspective of the Ageless Wisdom, there are certain vast Beings of great Love and Light on an inner level whose energy can assist humanity only when there is a group consciousness and an energy field composed of the entire human family. One such Being, which could be called an Avatar of Synthesis, is said to focus energy on the United Nations General Assembly, to assist the efforts of humanity in synthesizing the vast diversity of earth peoples and nations by strengthening a slowly growing will to unity. Delegates and staff who work in the energy field of the UN and are of goodwill speak of being profoundly changed by being there, of developing respect and compassion for all humanity by their exposure to the energies of human convergence focused there.
from the Aquarian Age Community site comes this quote by someone named Ida Urso:
As we know, the Age of Aquarius requires an enlightened public opinion and the new incoming energies will increasingly help us recognize the fact that the Law of the Universe revolves around “love as pure reason.” And, last but not least, is the current emphasis, begun again, only this last Fall to invigorate the General Assembly. A resolution passed just this past December made some suggestions about how the General Assembly’s Authority can be enhanced. It is through the General Assembly—the people’s forum—that the energies of Shamballa via the Avatar of Synthesis are working.
It is of course, this reason that the General Assembly is the focus of the meditative stage of the meditation format for “The Spiritual Work of the United Nations and the Liberation of Humanity,” that many of us regularly use and that we will also use here this afternoon.
The “World Service Intergroup” website includes a “United Nations Meditation” which says this:
MEDITATION: In complete, focused silence, visualise the United Nations’ General Assembly, overshadowed by the Avatar of Synthesis and infused by the Love of the Hierarchy and the Christ. Meditate on the Purpose that seeks to guide the “little wills of men.”
According to the Good World Movement:
“According to Alice A. Bailey (The Externalisation of the Hierarchy), one of the Beings associated with human development in the near future is the Avatar of Synthesis so named because of the quality and objective of the force It wields. As the Being Itself does not take physical form, a lesser Avatar who can descend into the physical plane is waiting a call from humanity and thus transmit the stimulus and quality of the force of the greater Avatar.”
I will quote now from this Christian site about Rudolf Schneider. The quotes by Rudolf can be confirmed here:
According to Rudolf Schneider:
Schneider is Secretary-General of the Institute for Planetary Synthesis in Geneva. The institute compiles and distributes studies from the books of Master Djwhal Khul, Alice A. Bailey, H.P. Blavatsky, Agni Yoga Society etc, uses a slightly adapted version of the Great Invocation, created a “Fund for the Preparation of the Reappearance of the Christ” and, of course, is on the Roster of the United Nations Economic and Social Council. [29]
In a December 2007 article called “Synthesis in International Relations,” posted on the site of World Service Intergroup [30], Rudolf Schneider says [Emphasis Added]
“We are told that the Avatar of Synthesis, a very high cosmic entity that in this century will influence human affairs, overlights the General Assembly of the UN, as well as the masses of people everywhere. This is an example of the planetary inclusiveness that will transform all humankind into a centre of light and love…. The path to planetary synthesis is based on a sense of universality, on a consideration of humanity as a wholistic ONE… The energies of the Avatar of Synthesis, the Spirit of peace and the wisdom of Lord Buddha flow into the planet through the Christ, the planetary heart centre, through the New Group of World Servers, the planetary Ajna centre, and through the five active planetary centres: Geneva, London, New York, Darjeeling and Tokyo.”
While I am not sure who is telling Rudolph all this, I have little doubt that he is right to some degree. Something certainly “overlights” the UN, and that something certainly isn’t holy. Anyway, Schneider believes that:
“Humanity at present is for the most part not aware of the underlying synthesis of the divine Plan”. [30] And (he) suggests using “a fifth stanza to be added to the Great Invocation”… an invocation of the Avatar of Synthesis, which can help the “underlying synthesis of the divine Plan”
Back to Steve Nation: And now imagine that the peoples of the world move back, there’s a ritualistic movement they stand around the walls of the temple. Visualize them forming a vast circle. And in the midst of this great gathering of the world’s people, within the great temple, picture another smaller temple, right at the center of the gathering, and imagine that this smaller temple takes a form through what we have all seen on television—it is the form of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Try to visualize this space, try to feel it and imagine it as a temple. Those who have been to the space will know that there is something remarkable architecturally; it is a very moving and a beautiful space. And remember that the ritualists standing in the inner temple of the General Assembly represent all of the nations of the world. Think for a moment not of governments, but about nations. Part of our memory is that we are part of nations, and those nations are very real for us, they are part of our experience. Each nation has its own particular history, its own story, its own heroes, and its own unique process of soul and personality integration. So each participant in this ritual, each nation, embodies the human community in the midst of transition. And now notice that together with these symbolic representations of the nations, there are other ritualists also standing, moving quietly in the inner sanctum, through the halls of the General Assembly. For standing side by side with the representatives of the nations of the world, are representatives of countless serving groups, representatives of the group of social prophets, each working in its own way at the nitty gritty process of purposefully incarnating a more just and unified world. And think of those service groups that are most close to our hearts, that we feel most closely identified with, see those groups right there in the midst of the General Assembly. See the representatives of the groups we know and of those we do not know, with the representative of nations and governments standing within the sacred space of the UN in a temple. So silently we stand in the temple–feeling, sensing humanity, hearing the breath, the one breath of the human family, and the light and the presence of theAvatar of the Synthesis and the Christ. And to conclude, for those of us who know it, say together the Mantram of the New Group of World Servers:
Thank you so much for asking me to speak. It was a delight to be asked but I’ve never before had the opportunity to speak upon this title—The United Nations and the building of the Temple of Humanity. I come from an esoteric and Masonic background and since my teens I’ve always been fascinated by the United Nations, not so much from the angle of outer events and what we read in the newspapers, but rather from what it represents in the emergence of a new civilization and how these governments and legislative chambers can actually live in the heart. Some of my most profound experiences in Freemasonry happened when I would sense the walls of the Masonic temple dissolving and feel as if I was witnessing and taking part in a ceremony within the General Assembly of the United Nations. These experiences have always stayed with me and have been deeply reinforced upon occasions when I have been fortunate enough to visit the U.N. centers in Geneva, New York or Nairobi—to stand in the awesome space of the General Assembly or to sit in the U.N. meditation room at the U.N. headquarters in New York and feel the presence of the Avatar of Synthesis. It’s such a privilege to visit New York; don’t visit that city without taking the U.N. tour. The minute you are through the security, you will feel immediately that you are no longer on U.S. soil. This is virtually the only place on Earth where it is humanity’s building and every little cell in your body will feel that. You are lucky to live in a country where this building exists. The meditation room in New York is open between 9:00 – to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. It is in the public foyer. It’s a service to go there. Visit the U.N. because it is fun and a wonderful place to be, but also think of it as a service. And whenever you go there, align with all of your coworkers from wherever you are in the world and feel their presence there with you. That room is like the holy of holies, the most sacred place in some of the most ancient temples. And just as in some of the Egyptian temples, there in the U.N. meditation room the dominant, powerful image is of this huge, wonderful block of iron ore. This rock was brought from Sweden by Dag Hammarskjold. He was a mystic and a visionary who took such care in the quarrying of the stone. It was so heavy and difficult to ship to New York and the design of the building had to be changed and a whole new foundation built to accommodate the weight of that stone. When you go into the room you feel its presence. I always felt that because it is a diagonal shape it is incredibly Masonic because it is composed of squares. B ut when you look at it you see that although it has been shaped by human beings, it has been left with a certain organic structure. Some of the squares are slightly flowing, slightly rounded and it’s a very beautiful piece of the heart of the earth.
So now I want to explore the theme of the U.N. and the building of the temple of humanity in two sections: some key quotations from the Alice Bailey books and a brief exploration of the question of how we as esotericists can become more proactive in our involvement with and support of the U.N. In the later years of the Tibetan’s communications with Alice Bailey, during the Second World War and up until the final communication in 1949, there was a strong and clear support of the United Nations and its role in the forging of a world based upon human principles and right human relations. And I just want to focus on three simple quotations. […]
The third quote says, “As a result of Christ’s spiritual fusion with the will of God, the Avatar of Synthesis has become for the time being his close associate. This is an event of supreme and planetary importance. Owing to the stupendous task confronting the Christ, the Avatar of Synthesis will fortify him and he the Christ will be buttressed by this silent avatar who, to speak symbolically, will keep his eye upon him, his hand beneath him and his heart in unison with his. In cooperation with the Christ the Avatar of Synthesis works to produce atonement, unification and a fusion and to generate the spiritual will within humanity. His potency is active within three fields: within the Spiritual Hierarchy, within the General Assembly (though not within the Security Council)–there in the Assembly of the United Nations He is generating a slowly growing will to unity, and thirdly within the masses of people everywhere, fostering the urge to a general betterment.” And I believe that when you go to the U.N. and take the tour, if you have the opportunity to go into the General Assembly building (it is usually quiet and silent when you are there on the tour), you can know that this is the house, the only house, where the Avatar of Synthesis has a physical presence.
SOME UNITED NATIONS HEAVIES:
1. Former UN Assistant Secretary General Robert Muller:
If you click here for a “Remembering Robert” tribute page for Robert Muller, you’ll be able to see a disgusting photo which is explained thusly:
Kathy: There is a beautiful painting in your home and I would like to know the story of it. Jesus appears next to the United Nations building in New York.
Robert: This painting is a gift from a French artist. He gave it to me and told me… “here is Jesus himself knocking at your office window. If you could only have the heart to hear it and the eyes to see it.”
A quote from Robert Muller on the Robert Muller schools website:
“In the middle of my life I discovered that the only true, objective education I had received was from the United Nations where the earth, humanity, our place in time and the worth of the human being were the overriding concerns. So at the request of educators I wrote the World Core Curriculum, the product of the United Nations, the meta-organism of human and planetary evolution.”
Many of the conspiracy sites (as well as Wikipedia) give the following link between Robert Muller and Alice Bailey:
For the next 40 years he worked on world peace in his position as Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations. After retiring from the United Nations, Robert Muller founded and developed the United Nations University for Peace in Costa Rica. Muller’s educational project is described in the World Core Curriculum Manual: “the underlying philosophy upon which the Robert Muller School is based will be found in the teaching set forth in the books of Alice A. Bailey by the Tibetan teacher, Djwhal Khul.” Bailey was a famous theosophist, while Khul was the “Ascended Master” – a spiritual entity – who allegedly imparted knowledge to Bailey.
The above quote was taken from Wikipedia.
Here’s a quote from a blog entitled “Raising Awareness”:
“Do you have children who go to a state school? Grandchildren? Friends with school children? Have you had any concerns about what’s being taught in schools, particularly new age indoctrination? This article will give you a clue as to what’s behind it, namely the World Core Curriculum.
The World Core Curriculum is a document written by Robert Muller, former assistant secretary-general of the United Nations, which sets forth the principles to govern the world’s education programmes, and is being implemented in schools internationally to this day. The underlying worldview of the curriculum is based on the teachings of Alice Bailey which came from her spirit guide, Djwhal Khul. It is designed to turn children into “global citizens” for a forthcoming one world government and a one world, new age, pantheistic (all is one, God is in everything) religion.”
Alice Bailey
Alice Bailey (1880-1949) was a Theosophist and occult writer. Theosophy is an occult movement, which believes in a spiritual “hierachy” or ascended masters, who are supposedly humans who through the process of reincarnation, are now so highly evolved that they are now in a position to watch over guide humanity. They are called the Masters of Wisdom. Some new agers believe these beings physically walk the earth, concentrated in the Himalayas, others believe they are purely spiritual. Alice Bailey’s writings were channelled through Djwhal Khul, who she believed was one of these ascended masters.
To the Christian it is clear these so-called ‘ascended masters’ are actually demons who are possessing the one who they are guiding. Alice Bailey’s writings, which are the basis of Muller’s World Core Curriculum, originated from an evil spirit. I haven’t been able to find a way to order the World Core Curriculum manual from 1986 so that I can confirm this personally. (but I do trust Berit Kjos whose story about this in her book is scary:
Theosophy, Robert Muller and his World Core Curriculum.
During a visit to Arlington, Texas, some years ago, a friend took me to see the original Robert Muller school. While she waited in the car, I walked past a little Buddha, climbed the steps to the front door, and rang the bell. Gloria Crook, the Director opened the door and asked why I had come. I listed my credentials: I was interested in global education, was concerned about the environment, and was an immigrant from Norway — a country well known for its global concerns and admiration for the United Nations.[18] I must have passed the test, because she invited me in and led me into a massive hallway. Looking to the left, I saw a room full of young mothers and pregnant women in yoga position. On a table next to the doorway, I noticed a stack of papers. The title startled me: “Occult Meditation.”
To those who don’t know God, the occult seems good, not bad, I thought to myself. “Are you familiar with Alice Bailey?” she asked me as we entered a large cluttered office. “Yes.” I nodded, well aware of her links to Theosophy and the occult messages she channeled from her favorite spirit guide. “Didn’t she write books full of messages she received from the Tibetan Master, Djwhal Khul?”
“Yes,” answered Ms Crook. “Here, sit down and look at some of them.” She pulled down several of Bailey’s books from a shelf and put them in my lap. I silently thanked God for His spiritual protection as I flipped through the pages of the first one, Education in the New Age. Then she handed me the Robert Muller World Core Curriculum Manual. I turned a few pages and read,
“The underlying philosophy upon which the Robert Muller School is based will be found in the teaching set forth in the books of Alice A. Bailey by the Tibetan teacher, Djwhal Khul ….”[19]
The back of the manual contained two certificates. The first announced that The Robert Muller School “is a participating institution in the UNESCO Associated Schools Project in Education for International Co-operation and Peace.” The other confirmed its accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. On behalf of the Southern Association’s review team, Dr. Eileen Lynch wrote:
“The visiting team… was so impressed with the Robert Muller School that they thought the educational process and the general curriculum would be most valuable as a model for teacher education… Throughout this report the committee has recommended that information of the school’s educational processes be shared with educators everywhere as much as possible.”[20] (Emphasis added)
Finally Ms Crook pulled two large golden frames from the wall and showed them to me. I shivered when I looked at the first. It pictured a beautiful calligraphied rendition of “The Great Invocation,” an occult prayer used around the world to invoke a global outpouring of spiritual light and power.[21]
The other frame displayed a letter from the White House. President Bush had sent his greetings and appreciation for the contributions made by the school. Did the former president know whom he had endorsed? Whether Bush knew Muller or not, the former U.N. leader is no stranger to the educational establishment. You saw that back in 1985, Muller’s vision of a World Core Curriculum, as outlined in his book New Genesis: Shaping a Global Spirituality, was endorsed by the powerful ASCD[22] and recommended to enthusiastic educators at an international curriculum symposium. Two years later, it was promoted by Andy LePage in his well-endorsed book on holistic learning, Transforming Education. In the nineties, it is spreading into local school districts.
As I would much prefer to confirm these things first-hand, I’ve had to find an alternate connection from former UN Assistant Secretary General Robert Muller to Alice Bailey. And I think I’ve found one: The previously mentioned “Raising Awareness” blog also says this:
In 1975, Robert Muller, former assistant secretary-general of the United Nations, had an essay published entitled “The Need for Global Education” in the New Era magazine, and this essay was subsequently distributed by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and numerous education magazines. In 1979, the first Robert Muller School was founded in Arlington, Texas, which is official a branch of The School of Ageless Wisdom, founded by Gloria Crook(1). In 1984, the Robert Muller school in Texas was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges. It is a United Nations Associated School, and also an alternative school, which teaches from birth right through to secondary school. Muller drafted The World Core Curriculum in his 1985 book New Genesis – Shaping a Global Spirituality.
In 1985 following the publishing of Muller’s book, a 12-nation meeting on education policies, Gordon Cawelti, the President of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development urged representatives to develop a world core curriculum based on Robert Muller’s proposals set out in his book. It is interesting to note that it was soon after this, in 1988 when the National Curriculum was introduced in the UK under the Education Reform Act 1988(2).
If you go to the website of The School of Ageless Wisdom, you’ll find this:
The School exists as a vehicle for some of those who are attracted to the study and application, respectively, of the Cosmology and Teaching of the Ageless Wisdom in a group setting. The Ageless Wisdom consists of that vast body of written and unwritten material available to humanity throughout all time relating to certain fundamental laws of the universe which underlie all political, religious, philosophic, artistic and scientific thought and human existence in general.
Basis of Study
In the world there is a rich diversity of spiritual approach to Life. There are many teachers and methods to accommodate the variety of human beings and the differing points in development. Some groups blend the works of a variety of teachers. The School, however, has been formed specifically for those who wish to participate in the study of the Alice Bailey books and Agni Yoga books.
Other Service Activities
Members of the School of Ageless Wisdom initiated several service activities including The Robert Muller School, Balanced Beginnings, Global Elementary Model United Nations, United Nations Online, and Vox Sophia Publishing. Please see the section, “Service Activities” for more information.
On the “Service Activities” page, you’ll find:
The members of the School of Ageless Wisdom have initiated several ongoing service activities. The general trend of these activities is service in the educational field and in publishing.
The Robert Muller School
The members of the School of Ageless Wisdom started a school for their children in 1980. In collaboration with Dr. Robert Muller, former assistant Secretary General of the UN, we were the first school anywhere to use his World Core Curriculum as a basis of instruction. The Robert Muller School is fully accredited from birth through high school. There are now over thirty Robert Muller Schools throughout the world. Follow this link to The Robert Muller School website.
Balanced Beginnings™
Since the Robert Muller School curriculum started at birth, the teachers naturally became interested in very early development. Study of the scientific literature concerning early brain development led to a program called Balanced Beginnings™ You can follow this link to the Balanced Beginnings website.
Global Elementary Model United Nations (GEMUN)
Another outgrowth of the Robert Muller School was the formation of the Global Elementary Model United Nations. There are model United Nations programs for high school and college aged people. GEMUN was the first model UN program for children in the elementary grades. Follow this link to the GEMUN website.
From the “Basis of Study” page on the “School of Ageless Wisdom” website:
The Ageless Wisdom has been progressively revealed over a vast period of time. As part of this continuing revelation, in the latter part of the nineteenth century, H. P. Blavatsky wrote a series of books, the most important being The Secret Doctrine: the Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy. These writings formed the basis of study of the Theosophical Society, a prominent, esoteric school which helped bridge the Eastern and Western cosmology and philosophy. From the 1920’s to the 1950’s Alice Bailey wrote twenty-four books of esoteric philosophy. Ms. Bailey also founded the Arcane School, an esoteric school which serves students from all over the world through correspondence from centers in New York, London and Geneva. Ms. Bailey and others also founded the Lucis Trust which, among other services, publishes the books. These books were written in English and have been translated into many other languages. You can obtain these books online by contacting Lucis Trust.
It is now known that the true author of both the Secret Doctrine and the Alice Bailey books was in fact Djwhal Khul, the Tibetan, as he is sometimes known. Both Bailey and Blavatsky produced the books through a kind of mental collaboration with the true author. Around the same time as Bailey’s work, yet another series of books were being produced. Helena Roerich in collaboration with M. Morya brought forth the Agni Yoga Books. These books were originally written in Russian and later translated into English and published by the Agni Yoga Society in New York. Long accepted in western Europe and the United States, there is a resurgence of interest in these books in Russia today where it is known as the “Living Ethics.” You can obtain these books by writing to the Agni Yoga Society, 319 West 107th Street, New York, New York, 10025, USA.
The two teachers, Djwhal Khul and Morya, though living with humans on Earth, are not strictly human. Both have been members of the fourth kingdom in nature, the Human Kingdom, and both have mastered that part of Earthly training and service. Both now form part of the fifth kingdom in nature, the Kingdom of Souls. They are both pledged to share the Ageless Wisdom with those members of the Human Kingdom who are responsive.
While school members have studied the Secret Doctrine together, we have decided to “limit” our esoteric studies together to the Alice Bailey and Agni Yoga books. “Limit” was placed in quotations because the two series of books comprise such a vast area of teaching that one could spend lifetimes studying and applying those teachings. While the members of the School of Ageless Wisdom have a natural affinity for the two teachings we do not disparage any other teachings. We understand that there must be a wide variety of teachings available to compliment the great diversity within the Human Family.
A thought from Robert Muller on his website:
I dream that next to the University for Peace in Costa Rica, a World Center for Robert Muller schools and the world core curriculum will be created to fulfill the prophecy of Gloria Crook, the founder of the first Robert Muller school in Arlington, Texas, that someday there will be thousands of such schools in the world. Since the land includes sacred Mt. Rasur, what a fulfillment of the prophecy of the indigenous God of children that would be!
This website called “The New Age Files” sure looks to me to be a pro-New Age site and on its Timeline of the New Age movement, it says:
Robert Muller, former assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, won the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 1989 for his World Core Curriculum. He says, ‘The underlying philosophy upon which The Robert Muller School is based will be found in the teachings set forth in the books of Alice A. Bailey by the Tibetan teacher, Djwhal Khul’.
2. Former U.N. Secretary General U Thant:
the following was written by Donald Keys, U Thant’s former speech writer… it appears on the website of the Aquarian Age Community:
U Thant was the third UN Secretary-General. This gentle Burmese Buddhist was regarded as unremarkable, which was exactly what most major powers, particularly the USSR, wanted after the lightening bolt of Dag Hammarskjöld. It is increasingly difficult to be elected Secretary-General. States would generally prefer a good housekeeper who does not initiate, innovate or otherwise threaten their equilibrium or the status quo. But, U Thant’s self-effacing nature belied his moral courage and inner strength. Those who voted for him were later to find themselves very surprised. He was never really understood by the West and probably not by the communist states either. He was, however, universally trusted-with confidences and in his word and fairness.
I knew the man personally, and loved him. I had the pleasure of sitting with him in his home, working on statements and articles, which would become history. I sensed the reverential atmosphere filled with Buddhic qualities, and knew that this son of the East was dearly beloved of the guides and mentors of the human race. U Thant was an earnest Buddhist and meditated at home every morning before driving to the UN. The two fullest statements of U Thant’s belief’s and practices are contained in his talk on “The Role of Religious Convictions” at the Third International Teach-In at Toronto in 1967, and his personal statement in his memoirs, View from the UN (Doubleday, 1978, pp. 20-25, 453-454). Dead from cancer upon its completion, he was unable to continue to his second volume, which was to have been much more introspective than the memoirs devoted to his role at the UN.
He states: “As a Buddhist, I was trained to be tolerant of everything except intolerance. I was brought up not only to develop the spirit of tolerance but also to cherish moral and spiritual qualities, especially modesty, humility, compassion and most important, to attain a certain degree of emotional equilibrium. I was taught to control my emotions through a process of concentration and meditation. Of course, being human, and not yet having reached the stage of arhat (enlightened being) I cannot completely “control” my emotions.
Among the teachings of the Buddha are four features of meditation, the primary purpose of which is the attainment of moral and spiritual excellence: meta (goodwill or kindness); karuna (compassion); mudita (sympathetic joy); and upekka (equanimity or equilibrium).
U Thant also writes that he was greatly influenced by the writings of Albert Schweitzer and his concept of “reverence for life,” and by those of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. In stating his own concept of human society, he states:
I am always conscious of the fact that I am a member of the human race…. This consciousness prompts me to work for a great human synthesis, which is the implicit goal of the world Organization I had the privilege of serving…. Long before I was appointed Secretary-General, I used to dwell at some length on the oneness of the human community.
3. Sri Chinmoy:
Here’s Donald Keys again from the Aquarian Age Community site:
The third figure I wish to discuss in the context of spirituality at the UN is not a Secretary-General, nor an official of any kind. He has, however, led meditations twice a week at the UN for 10 years, nearly one third of the life of the Organization. Sri Chinmoy comes from the lineage of saints and sages of the East, in the line of and in the tradition of Ramakrishna and Aurobindo. Like them, he is a post-graduate human. In his case, he awoke to that fact when in his early teens, and spent the next 20 years perfecting his inner tools for his life at the ashram of Aurobindo in Pondicherry, India. It is not surprising to me that such an exalted being would choose-or be asked from within, to assume responsibility for spirituality at the UN as part of his mission. Rather it would seem inevitable, because of what he is, and of what the UN represents and strives to become. If there is any place on earth which is appropriate to an Avataric being, and where he is needed, surely it is the fledgling world organization, struggling to unify humanity and carry it to the next level of awareness. Thus we find Chinmoy acting as invoker and intermediary for the vastest and most significant energies the world has yet received, with our meditation group of 60 or 70 people striving to serve as a lens and distributing agent for the light, love, and purpose he brings down into our midst.
We are attempting to bring together and assist in publication of the statements he has made at these meditations about the UN and its task, and about the world community, and I would like to share with you some excerpts from this increasingly significant material. Of course, he recognizes the soul of the UN as well as its present outer manifestation. He recognizes the future of the world organization as well as its present state. He offers solace and comfort, he brings inspiration and insight, and he generates enthusiasm and expectancy for an unfolding reality.
In speaking to the meditation group, Sri Chinmoy once said:
We are the most fortunate people on earth, for God has chosen us to be his instruments to serve Him in mankind. Please try to feel that the United Nations is not a mere building, but a place of worship, a place where all human beings can worship and pray to God. This place is a living shrine for the Supreme.
From the “Student of Peace – Sri Chinmoy” website: Short Bio Sri Chinmoy:
Sri Chinmoy was born in Bengal, India in 1931. At the age of 12, with his sisters and brothers he entered the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. During his time in the ashram he spent considerable time in prayer and meditation, whilst simultaneously cultivating interests in literature, music and sports. In 1964, following an inner call, Sri Chinmoy travelled to the United States to share with Western seekers the fruits of the East’s strong tradition of inner reflection and meditation. From the mid 1960s to his passing in 2007, Sri Chinmoy established meditation centres in over 60 countries around the world, serving as a spiritual guide to those who wished to follow his path of yoga.
Service for Peace at the United Nations
Sri Chinmoy also affirms the unprecedented role of the United Nations and views the organisation not merely as an entity which evolved out of political necessity, but rather a momentous step in human evolution.
“The United Nations is the result of the inner awakening of human beings from time immemorial.” – Sri Chinmoy 4
Sri Chinmoy sees the United Nations as an organisation born out of humanity’s sincere cry for peace, and it is this aspiration for peace which is the most significant aspect of the United Nations. Speaking of the innate significance of the United Nations, Sri Chinmoy says,
“The outer message of the United Nations is Peace. The inner message of the United Nations is Love. The inmost message of the United Nations is Oneness. Peace we feel. Love we become. Oneness we manifest.” – Sri Chinmoy 5
The importance of inner peace for those working towards outer peace has been recognised by the United Nations from its earliest days, when it was decided to open and close each session of the General Assembly with a minute of silence. The first Secretary-General, Trygve Lie, had a meditation room built in the Secretariat building, and his successor, Dag Hammarskjold, designed the room as it is known today. It is in this tradition that Sri Chinmoy conducted twice-weekly peace meditation sessions for delegates and staff at United Nations headquarters since 1970.
In 1968, Sri Chinmoy gave a lecture at the Church Centre for the United Nations in New York. In 1970, under the auspices of U Thant, Sri Chinmoy was invited to begin a meditation group at the United Nations. The group is known as “Sri Chinmoy: The Peace Meditation at the United Nations.” – it is open to staff, delegates, representatives of non-governmental organisations accredited to the United Nations. Secretary General, U Thant said of Sri Chinmoy
“I have been hearing about you from many, many people. Whoever speaks to me about you is all appreciation and admiration, and I personally feel that you have been doing a most significant task for the United Nations.”
4. former UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold
Already mentioned. But here’s a little bit about him from Donald Keys, at the Aquarian Age Community site:
Hammarskjöld-second Secretary-General, aesthete, man of letters, poet-was also a modern Christian mystic-a candidate for human perfection and graduation from this life school. In one of Alice A. Bailey’s books, written in the 1930’s, there is a statement that a leading Swedish disciple would soon be working in the world. A high Swedish initiate who was a friend of mine was once asked if the foretold one were he. His answer was “no, it is Dag Hammarskjöld.”
Let us now turn to the artifact-for it was Hammarskjöld’s artifact. I am referring to the UN Meditation Room. The existence of the room was a hard won battle, not by Hammarskjöld who came latter, but by the “Laymen’s Movement For A Christian World.” This movement, led by such persons as Warren Austin, Weymen Huckabee, Mrs. Pearce Drake, Frank P. Graham, Frank Laubach and J.C. Penny, strove mightily to assure that there would be a place in the permanent UN for prayer and meditation. The same group had worked successfully to assure that there would be a moment of prayer at the beginning and closing of each General Assembly, a tradition which is now well established.
“It will take an Archangel to find space for a prayer room in this building,” one UN official told Mr. Huckabee, as construction was well along and no one had entertained the notion in the original plans. One was eventually promised but where to put it was a question. The approach to prayer by the Laymen’s Movement was described by Mr. Huckabee as follows:
We were asking people to use prayer as a means of understanding and goodwill -a substitute for criticism and fault finding, an expression of hope and confidence in world leaders-a means of expanding the atmosphere of expectation based upon the assumption that peace with justice is God’s Will. With the promise of the room I saw a canopy of goodwill and understanding being raised over the UN by the prayers of men and women of all faiths.
5. Current UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon:
The first place that he went to after being sworn in? The UN Meditation Room, of course.
New UN Chief Ban Ki-Moon Starts Tenure:
Dozens of U.N. staffers applauded as the former South Korean foreign minister entered U.N. headquarters for the first time since he officially took over for Kofi Annan on New Year’s Day, a U.N. holiday. He immediately went to the Meditation Room and bowed his head in tribute to U.N. peacekeepers and staff members who died in service…
NEW AGER DONALD KEYS AND PLANETARY CITIZENS:

“and Donald Keys, a former United Nations worker and conscious contactee as well as an ET channel, from Mt. Shasta.”
(you can confirm these last two transcriptions at google books)
As has been mentioned earlier, Donald Keys was a speech writer for former UN Secretary General U Thant.
According to the Aquarian Age Community site, Donald had this to say about the UN Meditation Room:
I want to say just a few more words about the Meditation Room. It both gains and suffers from its position. It is one of the holiest of holies of the planet, yet it is easily accessible by the public, being located in the Visitor’s Lobby. It is thus, a great open secret. Anyone can go there at any time. It suffers in that delegates do not use it much precisely because of its location. But I have to say that in some way, its talismanic quality performs quite irrespective of who uses or does not use it. When I say it is a holy of holies, I mean that it is a focus for the energies of a unitary planet, for a unified humanity, and for right relations between all the kingdoms of life. Those energies use the room and the stone like a lens; and through that spot they course through the meeting rooms, through the secretariat, through the delegations and by that route throughout the world.
Let me share one anecdote. Recently I had the pleasure of guiding a representative of the traditional wisdom of the Hopi People through the UN, including the Meditation Room. He was not expecting anything in particular. But when he entered the room, he audibly gasped. Quickly and apologetically, he reached for his medicine bag, took out a leather pouch from which he made an offering on the spot in front of the rock while saying prayers.
“We have been told,” he said, “that there are three most powerful places in the United States. This is one of them, and I am going home to report it to the Elders.” Which he then did.
Also, a dynamite bomb was placed in the Meditation Room. The fuse went out.
DEMON CHANNELING INSIDE OF THE UNITED NATIONS:
Brought to us by the UN group: SOCIETY FOR ENLIGHTENMENT AND TRANSFORMATION (SEAT): SEAT is a part of the UN’s Staff Recreational Council (UNSRC).
Example 1: Steve and Barbara Rother: Channeling “The Group”: Lightworkers at the United Nations:
We are proud to say that we have presented the material from the group five times at the United Nations. We offer you here the articles and messages from the group that were presented at the United Nations. The part of the UN that hosted these talks were two separate and different organizations with the same purpose one in Vienna, Austria and the other at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The interesting part is that neither of these charters knew the other one existed until we told them.
In Vienna, it was the Esoteric Society who is made up of employees of the United Nations Vienna International Community. This is a home for the United Nations, UNIDO Untied Nations Industrial Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency, UNOV and UCBDO. (The United Nations is into acronyms.) The New York Headquarters organization is the Enlightenment Society. previously and since known as the SEAT. Society for Enlightenment and Transformation. Both of these organizations are charters under the UNSRC United Nations Staff Re-creation Council. They are open to employees of the United Nations and we found in attendance: Delegates, Department and Program heads, Secretaries to Engeeneers and Scientist from the Atomic Energy Agency. It was quite a diverse crowd.
A Class on Channeling at the United Nations in Vienna, Austria, April 26 2000
This is the story of the events that preceded teaching a class on channeling at the United Nations, April 26th 2000. We believe it to be the first class on the art of channeling ever presented at a UN facility anywhere. The idea came to me when I was talking to a friend on the phone. I was telling her that I was very excited that we had just been asked to speak before a group at the United Nations in Vienna, Austria. She asked; “what are you going to talk about?” That was the first time I really thought about the focus of this presentation. Last year the whole thing lasted about 3 hours. I presented a live channel from the Group, which included questions to the Group from the UN employees. I had an hour preceding the channel to tell the story of how a building contractor turned into a channeler, and it was all I could do to keep it to an hour. Now I realized that we had an opportunity to focus this session in another direction and my mind went crazy with the possibilities. Then the Group dropped the thought in my head and I heard my own voice tell the person on the phone that we were going to teach a class in channeling at the United Nations.
~Triology~ The Others of “E” Vibration
Presented at the United Nations March 23rd, 2001, New York City, NY:
In March of 2001, Barbara and I presented a series of three different seminars on the East Coast of the United States. March 10th & 11th, we presented the Lightworker Spiritual Re-union in Syracuse, New York. The next weekend, on March 17th & 18th. we presented the Quill of Remembrance in Baltimore, Maryland. Then on March 23rd we presented to the United Nations Staff Recreation Council Enlightenment Society. For the first time ever, the Group embedded the same message into three different stories. They told me that this was VERY IMPORTANT and that I was not to worry about repeating the information.
The first channel was in Syracuse. Here they dropped the bombshell of this information in a story about Amor. The story of Amor is about a boy who grew up in the days of Mu and Atlantis. This will be a chapter in the Amor story which will be released soon. In this channel the Group said the reason they were telling this now was because, just three days prior, the first human had been cloned on Earth. The day after that seminar, I got an e-mail from Michele Anatra Cordone with links to press releases that followed the Groups’ information by one day. A group of Italian scientists had come forward to tell the world in a press conference that they were about to clone the first human. According to the Group they already had.
The second version of the same message was offered in Baltimore, Maryland where they told the story of “the Day that Time Stood Still”. What you are about to read is the third message presented to the Enlightenment Society at the UN Headquarters in New York….
Lightworkers at the United Nations
Steve Rother and the Group in Live Channel at The United Nations in Vienna, Austria May 20th 1999. The address and channel at the United Nations will be included in the book Re-member… a Handbook for Lightworkers, to be released at the beginning of the new century. It is a very powerful channel that offers suggestions for all of humanity on living in the higher vibrations of our new Planet.
After passing inspection we proceeded into this city. This place was huge and there were many buildings that make up the Vienna International Center. This is a home for the United Nations, UNIDO United Nations Industrial Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency, UNOV and UCBDO. Upon entering the main lobby area all the international flags could be seen hanging from the ceiling. We went up several floors to the room where the channel was to be held.
There were about twenty people now in the room and we began meeting people prior to the talk. At 5:30 there was a big influx of people entering the room as members of the various organizations ended their workday. Many were there from the United Nations, UNIDO and the Atomic Energy Agency. When the introductions were made and I began the talk, there were about 70 people in attendance.
I shared with them how this whole thing got started and how the Group first came to me. I spoke about the messages from the Group and the basis of the work we were doing. I was surprised to find that most of the people in the room had been reading the “Beacons of Light Meditations” for some time. It seems that the Messages from the Group get passed around in the internal e-mail system of the UN. They were ready for the information and very anxious to see us. It turned out that we were a validation for them as well. We were a little anxious about meeting Lightworkers from different countries but after about five minutes of talking and looking into the smiling, eager eyes in the audience, I realized that we were Home and this was family…
If you use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, you’ll see that the sentence “It seems that the Messages from the Group get passed around in the internal e-mail system of the UN.” appears on the page in 1999, but it’s not there during later years.
Example 2: Lee Carroll Channeling Kryon:
Kryon at the United Nations? YES!
In 1995, 1996, 1998, 2005, 2006 and 2007, Kryon was invited to come to New York and channel for the Society of Enlightenment and Transformation (S.E.A.T), … a member of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council. The six selections below are the full stories and transcribed channellings of these six New York meetings, given in the committee rooms and auditoriums of the United Nations building in New York, not too far away from the General Assembly. These events were attended by United Nations staff, delegates, S.E.A.T. members, and guests (not open to the public, except the one in 2007).
See what Kryon had to say… Live Channelling – New York, NY From Lee Carroll 1995
It was my first trip to the Big Apple – Tuesday November 21, 1995, numerologically an “11” day (1+1+2+1+1+9+9+5=29) (2+9=11). After a wild twenty-minute trip in a cab through the endless cement and glass canyons of Manhattan island, the familiar UN complex with its multicolored flags in front seemed a welcome sight for this Southern California boy. I was told that the flags don’t go up unless the countries they represent are working that day, and all the flags were in full flight. I was on my way to speak at the Society for Enlightenment and Transformation (S.E.A.T.) at the United Nations, and was reflecting on all the circumstances that had brought us here to present Kryon to delegates, workers, and guests of such a prestigious organization.
The Enlightenment Society is one of the fifty member clubs of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council. It was founded in 1975, and its objective is to provide divine service to United Nations staff, delegates, mission staff and guests. Every month a speaker was invited to enlighten, transform, inspire and entertain an audience of about 40-50 people. The five members of the executive committee of the Society were hard-working staff members of the United Nations who organized these events in their spare time and offered them during the lunch period. The deepest purpose of the Society matched that of the United Nations – to bring peace to our planet. Under the fine direction of Mohammad Ramadan in1995, Kryon was only the third channeled entity to be invited in the past few years for these meetings and it was going to happen in just a few moments. Today (2003), the S.E.A.T. is still alive and well!
We walked calmly into the building where we needed to pass through metal detectors, under the watchful eyes of highly trained, uniformed United Nations security officers, but our minds were anything but calm. Although not nervous, I was surging with the honor of how Kryon had orchestrated such a marvelous thing as this. I turned to look at Jan and realized she was almost at the point of tears. Both of us looked around and realized that we were representing light workers around the globe in perhaps the only venue that would ever allow governments to speak together of such things as spiritual enlightenment and extraterrestrials. The moment was not lost on either of us, and we gently passed through security, our passports ready.
Scheduled to begin at exactly 1:15, we were to end at 2:45 or before. Within the 90 minutes, I was to lecture for 30, then handle questions and answers for 30. Jan was to direct a meditation and toning for 10 minutes, and Kryon was to channel for 20 or less. We had never conducted such a strict agenda, or had Kryon boxed into such a short time, but we both knew that it would be no problem. Both of us were feeling the presence of Spirit in a way that we had never felt before, and we both nodded in understanding that this was one of those moments where you meet your contract head-on. Jan and I both knew we were standing in the right place at the right time, and that all would go well. This was the “sweet spot” that Kryon had told us about so many times. Everything around us dimmed in perspective to this, and we both felt loved by Spirit at that moment.
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. For those who do not know me, my name is Mohammad Ramadan, and I wish to welcome you all to this rare presentation by Lee Carroll and his wife, Jan Tober. As you know, Lee humbly likes to call himself the translator of the invisible master Kryon, who appears in times of great changes. Meanwhile, Kryon himself gratefully calls Carroll “my partner”. So today we will be meeting a real trinity, Lee and his two partners!
It began. Although I felt slightly over animated for the conservative crowd, I tried my best to give them a 30-minute synopsis of what had happened to me and what Kryon was all about. At 1:45 precisely, we went into questions and answers. This lasted exactly the 30 minutes prescribed, and then it was Jan’s turn. She gave a wonderful meditation (as is her style), then led the group in a very conservative toning sequence. At 2:20 on the nose, I felt the warmth of Kryon in the room, and uttered those words that always announce his presence…
THE UNITED NATIONS CHANNELING 1995
Greetings, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service! It is no accident that we sit in this sacred place. Now, some of you are surprised to hear me through my partner, since you have not before. He is a translator – a verifier – for he remains conscious in his body, and I feed him the thought groups of love for each of you. We speak now to each of you as you sit in your seat and not to any group that is here, and we say before we begin that even if you do not believe what you are hearing is real, it is. It is from the same source that spoke to Moses from the Burning Bush. We know you by name and it is not a name, that even you are aware of. We sit at your feet in awe! You are the ones who have made the difference on this planet; for you to even be here means that you are interested in the energy that is happening now, oh dear ones. This is the energy of love! Make no mistake. Let no one tell you differently – this New Age that you have created has a power, which is the power of love.
There is no negative thing or negative entity that you cannot change, for you are completely in control in every single way with the new gifts of Spirit. We ask you to look around to see what you have done – and when we say “you,” we mean you!… those who sit here… those who read these words. You may not think that you have contributed to the whole, but oh, you have! Just one or two enlightened workers giving energy toward a focus can change reality. That is how much power you have. The vibrational change of your biology and your enlightenment means so much to this planet! There have been so few who have done so much already, and it’s going to increase even more. The things that you do here in this room will affect the things that happen in the big room, not too far away from here (referring to the General Assembly). You have had prophets tell you that there are areas of the Middle East right now that should be running red with the blood of battle but in these very areas what is happening instead is that these “would-be” enemies are discussing how to share their water! You have leaders of countries right now who not too many years ago were in the dark dungeons and the prisons within their very own countries – now they sit in the high seats of leadership. What kind of global consciousness change does this tell you about? You have made such a difference in all of these things. Look around you – the specter of country against country has lessened greatly in these past years. Did you think this was an accident? And when the political walls came tumbling down and all the changes happened, did you think it was a mistake that they happened simultaneously with the changes of your consciousness – and the New Age messages and the channelings? No! For you have watched physical occurrences and political occurrences that shook hands with the simultaneous enlightenment of humanity….
Live Channelling – New York, NY From Lee Carroll 1996:
I remembered last year at this time, what I was thinking. I t was a similar story. Kryon had been invited to bring the Society of Enlightenment and Transformation (S.E.A.T.) a channeled message at the United Nations building. That’s when I learned that there was actually an organization within the UN that meditated together and spoke of extraterrestrials and other metaphysical subjects! And they did so in the very areas of the building, not too far from the General Assembly chamber, in an area reserved for delegates and guests only – not the part that tourists see.
Whatever you think of the United Nations, and believe me, there are many who don’t think much of it, I would invite you to also look at the overview. There is far more going on within that building than the assignment of blue helmeted policemen of the world that don’t make peace very well, or the reported conspiratorial attempts at creating a controlling world government. Instead, there are thousands of workers who report to this building each day and toil on world hunger, disease control, and saving the children of the planet from cultures that can’t house or feed them. The humanitarians outnumber the politicians, and you can feel the energy of this when you enter. It’s the only place like it in on the Earth where the world can come together regularly. Right in the middle of it was the S.E.A.T., meditating for world peace, and bringing love and enlightenment into the very rooms where treaties are signed, and where governments decide how to work with each other.
At the appointed area, we met a very gracious S.E.A.T. president, Cristine Arismendy, and again I was struck by how Spirit finds the exact perfect person for the important spiritual jobs on this planet! Even though we hadn’t personally met, she felt immediately like family and made us feel extremely welcome. We proceeded past the checkpoints, had coffee together, then went directly to Conference Room 7, where the channeling was to take place. These meetings assemble and move along quickly, and again I felt the formality and protocol of the event. Unlike the informality that I try to create at the Kryon seminars, this group moved quickly to their seats, were quiet and ready, and the meeting began immediately…
Live Channelling – New York, NY From Lee Carroll 1998:
By definition, The Enlightenment Society is one of the fifty member clubs of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council. It was founded in 1975, and its objective is to provide divine service to United Nations staff, delegates, mission staff and guests. Every month a speaker was invited to enlighten, transform, inspire and entertain an audience of about 40-50 people. The five members of the executive committee of the Society were hard-working staff members of the United Nations who organized these events in their spare time and offered them during the lunch period. The deepest purpose of the Society matches that of the United Nations – to bring peace to our planet. Over the years it had become the place where delegates and guests of delegates met and experienced the knowledge and energy of what we are calling the New Age. Authors, channellers, lecturers, musicians and spiritual leaders all have been called over the years to give their wisdom at these meetings. The public is not invited, and only those who work at the United Nations or hold membership in the society may attend.
Fernando is familiar with the bureaucratic proceedings of the United Nations security requirements, as well as with the spiritual principles of manifesting one’s desired goals and, with a little bit of his special magic, got us all into the “inner sanctum” of the building, including all of Robert Coxon’s equipment!
I mentioned several other things that were germane to both the Kryon work and the UN, and then my time was up for lecture. Jan then did a 20-minute chakra balance and toning. Yep…. they all toned! It was great to hear that kind of wonderful spiritual energy, and listen to those voices fill the room within the venue of the United Nations.
Live Channelling – New York, NY From Lee Carroll 2005:
“We seek to inspire, inform, enlighten, and uplift your spirits.” This is a quote from The Society for Enlightenment and Transformation (SEAT), part of the United Nations Staff Recreational Council (UNSRC), a group of clubs sanctioned by the UN for members, guests, employees, and delegates of the organization. Having previously presented to the group in 1995,1996, and 1998, Lee Carroll was invited again this year to the Dag Hammarskjold Library Auditorium in the UN building in Manhattan, New York to share Kryon’s message. This message is especially significant, as it marks the ten-year anniversary of Kryon’s first visit to SEAT. We thank Lina Arellano, president of SEAT, and Susan Bastarrica, Vice President, for this wonderful opportunity.

Example 3: Selacia channeling “the Council of 12.”
From Selacia’s website:
UNSRC Society for Enlightenment and Transformation--In 2000, Selacia brought TheCouncil of 12’s wisdom to the UNSRC’s Society for Enlightenment and Transformation at the United Nations, focusing on the shifting power in 2000 and beyond. Those who attended the presentation learned and experienced the following with Selacia and The Council of 12:
Discovery of a new way to look at power in 2000 and beyond. Receipt of practical tools for moving into more personal power. Understanding of what it means to shift into divine will, and how to do it. Experience of a channeled meditation with The Council of 12, helping to integrate the new accelerated energies Receipt of The Council of 12’s wisdom and high vibrational healing energies. Information about 2000 astrological influences. Sharing in the powerful energies of the Wesak celestial celebration. As part of Selacia’s presentations at public events, she often provides channeled meditations and personal interactions with The Council of 12.
Example 4: Margaret channeling “Sister” and “Maitreya”
About Margaret:
In June 1998, Margaret was asked by a large spiritual group within the United Nations in New York, The Society for Enlightenment and Transformation, to speak in trance channel to their group. T his is a large group consisting of many diverse people from within the United Nations, ranging from Kofi Annan’s Secretary to the doorman, and to be asked to address this group of many important people was a very special honor. Margaret addressed them on June 8, 1999. Margaret said this was one of the highlights of her career, and a few months later, she was informed that the speech she gave was deemed to be the best ever to be held at the United Nations group.
Margaret is now living in Bellevue, WA. USA. She has been instrumental in opening the very successful Australian Institute of Metaphysics in Queensland, Australia. Margaret has also created the Maitreya Educational Foundation in Seattle, USA, where the Corporate Offices of the Maitreya Foundation are located. One of her graduate students has opened the Maitreya Educational Foundation in the Netherlands. Plans are now in place for the creation of the San Diego Maitreya Foundation. The web site she founded with her spiritual mentor and teacher, Maitreya, is one of the most successful spiritual web sites on the Internet. The site currently has a viewing audience of over 3 million people per month from over 130 countries around the world. The web site is growing each day with those who are searching for metaphysical information. “There has never been such a thirst for metaphysical knowledge.” Margaret has said. This web site, www.maitreya-edu.org, was created in 1996.
Margaret and Alan are now hosts of a very popular radio show, “Sixth Sense”, on KKNW 1150 AM Monday – Wednesday at 10:00 am PST and Monday evening at 8:00 pm. They also do an Internet show in which Maitreya and other energies from the world of spirit are channeled. This show is broadcast on www.contacttalkradio.com each Wednesday from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm PST.
Margaret and Alan spend half of each year traveling around the world promoting the teachings of Maitreya and conducting channeled evenings and workshops which are very successful.
Channeling What is it?
A Channel is one who connects to a higher, or transcendent, energy and who serves as a conduit for that energy, whether by serving as its voice or using it for creative purposes, such as writing and playing music, painting, drawing, or any number of other artistic outlets. This energy is often described as a ‘spirit’ or a ‘spiritual energy’, and existing beyond the corporeal plane.
Channels generally fall into two groups. The first consists of channels who openly speak to spirits and then relay what they hear. The second group consists of channels that go into a trance, or “leave their body”, and a specific spirit then talks or acts through them. During this ‘trance channeling’, the voice of the channeler may change completely and the channeler is often unaware of anything they are doing. The most common type of channeling is simply to provide advice, insight or answers to questions from those present.
TWO SPIRITUAL ENERGIES – MAITREYA AND SISTER
I work with two energies – Sister and Maitreya. Sister connected with me from the world of Spirit in 1993 and has been with me since. She has lived many lives, and her name comes from having been a sister in a religious order. In one of her incarnations she lived just the opposite of her religious life and was a prostitute of quite high renown. She is as experienced on the subject of sexual energy as she is on her life as a nun and she was actually awarded sainthood for her religious life. These experiences allow her to speak both on an incredibly spiritual level and a down-to-earth grass-roots level.
The other energy I channel – and the one I have become more known for – is Maitreya. He is what is known as an ‘Ascended Master’ in the world of Spirit – spiritually-enlightened beings who in past incarnations were ordinary humans, but who have undergone a process of spiritual transformation. But he has always said, “Do not put me on a pedestal. Yes, I am ascended and have much knowledge, but I am just a teacher, nothing more.” Maitreya has been working with me since 1992. I have worked on a deep trance level with him since the beginning, and as I was working with him he taught me many things I needed to learn. Now, we work side by side in all we do.
When I do a channeling, whether with Sister or Maitreya, their energy merges with mine, and my voice and personality become distinctly different. There are many levels of communicative states with these energies. When I first began channeling Sister’s energy I was doing what is known as “conscious channeling”, in which the words poured out of my mouth and I could hear myself speaking. Over the years I have become more of a deep trance channel, so that now my voice, posture and energy change quite dramatically and I am not aware of what is being said. The energy in the room also changes and is quite beautiful – many people cannot help falling into a very deeply relaxed state or even drift into sleep.
The aim of these energies is to assist us with raising our vibration to a higher consciousness and helping the earth plane to change and become a less aggressive place to live. I consider myself such a fortunate person to have these energies in my life, and also be able to work with them as I do.
CHURCH OF THE HOLY FAMILY: THE UNITED NATIONS PARISH:
written on the official website: Church of the Holy Family The United Nations Parish. The Church of the Holy Family is located at 315 East Forty-seventh Street, between First and Second Avenues, across from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, in New York City. Liturgical Schedule Sunday:
5:30 p.m. Saturday – Vigil Mass; 8:00 p.m. – Mass; 10:00 p.m. – Mass; 12:00 Noon – Principal Liturgy with the Holy Family Choir; 3:00 p.m. – Korean-English Bilingual
Weekdays: 8:00 a.m. – Mass (Monday to Friday); 12:10 p.m. – Mass (Monday to Saturday); 1:10 p.m. – Messe en français (Tuesday – Mardi)
From the Parish History page:
The present church, designed by architect George J. Sole, was dedicated on March 14, 1965 by His Eminence, Francis Cardinal Spellman to serve the residents of the Turtle Bay area and to serve the spiritual needs of the United Nations Community.
From the About the Church page:
The art and design of the church reflect a spirit of ecumenism and multi-nationalism. As you enter, you are greeted by the loving, open arms of the Risen Christ above the altar. Like the figures on the two side altars, and the statue of the Virgin in St. Mary’s Garden, the sculpture is a product of the studio of Nagni and was cast in Pietrasanta, Italy.
The altar is fashioned of Canadian black granite quarried near the Arctic Circle. The baptismal font along the west wall is carved from Brazilian black granite. In the baptistry is a bronze statue of Saint John the Baptist by American artist Frederick Shrady. A chalice of gold, ivory, and stone was given to the church by Pope Paul VI, and is housed near the altar of Saint Joseph. The altar itself is a gift of the Italian government and bears the inscription: “In memory of the Italians Who Gave Their Lives in the Congo for the Ideals of Peace of the United Nations.” On the left side of the main altar, the altar of reservation is set against the background of a large cast aluminum Byzantine icon of Our Lady of Peace. Its Eastern Church style and subject matter reflect the themes of universality and peace expressed in other art in the church. The dome over the Tabernacle is a replica of the dome that covers the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth – the birthplace of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
The three ceramic tableaux on the west wall depict the Holy Family in flight to Egypt, during a time when they were refugees. The stained glass windows on the same wall show the various national and racial groups who were refugees as a result of World War II, and repeat the word “hope” in all the refugees’ languages, as well as in Latin. The windows and ceramics, and the Stations of the Cross on the east wall, are the work of Jordi Bonet, a Catalan based in Montréal.
Here are a few large photos of the church. A post from the website: The Society of St. Hugh of Cluny:
Perhaps you have noticed, if you happened to be walking on the north side of East 47th Street near Second Avenue, a windowless edifice of polished gray stone, situated behind metal handrails and stone planters. You probably assumed it to be the seat of some anonymous institution: a “permanent representation,” a foundation, perhaps a synagogue. Yet, crossing the to the south side of the street, you find it to be a church: some five stories high, adorned with a stylized metal steeple, whose ersatz carillon rings forth on the hour an imitation of “Big Ben.” This is Holy Family Church, erected in 1964, whose parish boundaries include the nearby United Nations.
The uninviting exterior is in part forbidding, in part insipid. The blank façade, whose only colors are grey, silver and dark brown, is the center of a small complex, contemporary with the church. Apart from the stone façade, these structures are adorned with white and pale green brick, with accents of yellow over the side windows of the church. It is a veritable encyclopedia of bad taste in color, like the infamous “white brick” apartment buildings of that era.
T
he interior of the church is a unitary, high-ceilinged space: a simple rectangle with rounded corners. The walls are faced with cream-colored stone with more of the ubiquitous metal tracery on the ceiling. Over the altar stands a gigantic elongated aluminum statue of the risen Christ. There is no crucifix (except for a processional cross set up to the side). The overall effect is cold, bureaucratic and barren, like the Art Deco lobby of the Department of Justice in Washington with its silver statue of Justice (the one whose breasts were covered over under the prior administration).
The altar on the eastern wall, of St. Joseph, commemorates Italian soldiers who died in the Congo “for the ideals of peace of the United Nations.” For those too young to remember, this was an early 1960’s example of UN – sanctioned violence followed by massacres, the overthrow of an authentically Catholic leader, and eventually, the return of that nation to pre-colonial barbarism. A chalice contributed by Pope Paul VI is also here: it was recently the subject of an attempted theft. Only the west wall has windows, predominantly blue, of mediocre craftsmanship but unprecedented in theme. A parade of figures, characterized as Jews (there seems to be a vague reference to Hitler’s Final Solution), Moslems, Hindus and others, marches toward a non-representational emblem of the Divinity, vaguely cruciform, in the northernmost window. The word “hope” in various languages accompanies the procession.
On the rear wall we read an utterance of Paul VI from his visit to the UN and to this church of October 4, 1965: “The peoples of the earth turn to the United Nations as the last hope of peace.” Not God, not Christ, not the Church, but the United Nations. The role of clerical stupidity in the crisis of the last forty years has not yet received sufficient attention from commentators (ETK- Italics mine). During services the interior is bathed in bright, artificial light. But this space is only endurable at other times, when, with the main lights extinguished, the colors of the windows and the tabernacle are allowed to emerge. We notice then another most unusual feature: the glass cruets of holy oil and chrism are set in clear, floor level windows. These are surrounded by relics (from a prior altar?).
More than 15 years ago this church underwent a restoration. It succeeded in sprucing up an increasingly musty interior (modern architecture does become outdated so rapidly!) but, as always, left painful scars. We can still see where the communion rail was yanked out, and the baptistery in the narthex is now occupied by a statue of the Holy Family – plus a planter. In exchange, the waterfall of a small baptismal pool now tinkles away in the nave. But in contrast to other, earlier churches one does not sense any clash between these innovations and the prior architecture. The polished black blocks which form the altar (reminiscent of the notorious black stone in the meditation “chapel” of the United Nations) fit in naturally here. The phony “moderne” style of Holy Family, dated even before it was finished, is sad evidence of the state of Catholic artistic sensibility in the early 1960’s. That the Archdiocese on New York (and presumably the Vatican) would select a building of this kind as the public face of the Catholic religion to the world is indeed mind-boggling.
But just consider that here, a newly erected Catholic church began, however timidly, the rupture with the traditional language of Catholic parish architecture. A utilitarian unadorned box, having no symbolic, historical or aesthetic references, Holy Family church is intended exclusively to accommodate a congregation for “celebrating the liturgy.” Whatever elements of Catholic devotion remain (the tabernacle, banks of votive candles, some of the statues) survive only in stylized form, or are displayed in a manner that relativizes their prior importance. At the same time, new themes and images, unheard of in Catholic tradition, are introduced. The spirit of Holy Family is globalist, secular, ecumenical and above all institutional.
CHURCH CENTER FOR THE UNITED NATIONS/TILLMAN CHAPEL: From an Organist website:
The Church Center for the United Nations, located across from the United Nations headquarters, was dedicated in 1962. Church leaders had worked to build support for the Declaration of Human Rights and urged government leaders to ratify agreements that supported the Declaration. In 1960 a dream for a Christian center that would support the work of the United Nations emerged and became a reality with the dedication of a building dedicated in 1962 which sits across from the UN Headquarters in NYC. Owned by the United Methodist Church, it houses tenants such as Church Women United, the American Baptists, the Presbyterians, the World Council of Churches, the Methodist Division of World Peace, and the United Church of Christ. Also housed at the Church Center is the Office of the Anglican Observer.
The Altar of Everything (PDF):
“The altar of everything” reverberated through my thinking as I attended the Women’s Division board meeting in April 2010. The initial gathering was held at the Tillman Chapel, located on the ground floor of the Church Center for the United Nations, a 12-story building owned and operated by the Division and positioned directly across the street from the United Nations. The marble altar was a beautiful display of over 70 Bibles lined in rows with stones placed between each one. The Bibles, each one in a different language, were gifts by member states to the Church Center at its 1965 dedication. What a wonderful display on the altar of God—a true visual representation of the Great Commission where Jesus says, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 24:19).
Originally, the chapel had a plain wooden cross hung discreetly to one side, no doubt signifying that although open to all peoples, this was a space consecrated to the glory of God in the name of Jesus Christ. An article commemorating the forty year anniversary of the Center stated the building “has stood as a witness to Christian support for efforts in international diplomacy….”
Over the years, the Tillman chapel has taken on a different look and witness. Now, hanging over the altar, the wooden cross has been joined by large banners with the symbols of four world religions—Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Shintoism. The chapel is the site for ecumenical and multi-faith events, interfaith marriages, and has even been used for “dialogue” with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Sadly, this sacred altar has become “the altar of everything” under the auspices of the Women’s Division. From celebrating feminist liberation theology at the UN Commission on the Status of Women to worshiping social justice causes during UN meetings, the worship space at the Tillman Chapel is used as an altar for every religion, cause, and theology imaginable—all in the name of tolerance and diversity.
While respect for religious freedom and cultural diversity is essential, the promotion of multiple theologies is detrimental to the Christian witness. As the renowned Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias says, “Truth cannot be sacrificed at the altar of a pretended tolerance. All religions, plain and simple, cannot be true, are not in concert, and do not all point to God. Every religion at its core claims exclusivity and all-inclusive philosophies can only come at the cost of truth.” If the Christian church embraces other religious faiths and is meek in its proclamation of Christian truth, the mission mandate of Jesus to take the Gospel into the whole world is disregarded…
From the chapel’s Facebook page: Located across the street from the U.N., The Tillman Chapel hosts on a regular basis people from around the world, who share their hope and action for a better world. It’s an ecumenical chapel which opens its doors to the diverse religions and cultures of those within the U.N. area. Every Thursday, all are welcome to attend our ecumenical prayer services from 9:15-9:45am.
From a blurb in the book “From Abyssinian to Zion: a guide to Manhattan’s houses of worship” by David W. Dunlap (page 273):
Tillman Chapel. What kind of spiritual message can be conveyed to a community drawn from around the world? The facade of the Tillman Chapel at the Church Center for the United Nations, at 777 First Avenue [J45] — part sculpture by Benoit Gilsoul, part stained-glass window by Henry Lee Willet — aspires to represent “Man’s Search for Peace,” with humanoid forms around an encompassing, elliptical eye. “Man cannot escape the all-seeing eye of the Almighty which penetrates the darkness of his despair,” declares a plaque signed by Willet. The Church Center was built in 1962 to designs by William Lescaze. The ground-floor chapel was donated in 1963 by the Women’s Division of the Board of Missions of the Methodist Church, honoring one of its members, Sadie Wilson Tillman.
On this blog by David Cobb Craig, you can see photos of the eye and read:
777 First Avenue: The façade of the Tillman Chapel of 1963 displays a sculpture by Benoit Gilsoul entitled “Man’s Search for Peace.” The center of this arresting composition shows the all-knowing eye of the Almighty. The divine eyeball is more obvious inside, where the stained-glass window by Henry Lee Willet can better be appreciated. You can see the big eye here as well.
From the website of Berit Kjos:
Occult symbols are fast replacing Christian symbols in our culture. Therefore, we encourage you to use this list to warn others, especially Christian children who intentionally wear and display them because they are popular. Keep in mind that many of these symbols have double or multiple meanings. For example, the pentagram has been used to transmit occult power in all kinds of rituals for centuries, but to Christians the same shape may simply represent a star — a special part of God’s creation. The image of a fish may mean a sign of the zodiac (astrology) to some, but to Christians it has meant following Jesus and sharing the message of His love. We will continue to delight in the cross, while recognizing that others use the same image to represent their dark forces.
ALL-SEEING EYE: A universal symbol representing spiritual sight, inner vision, higher knowledge, insight into occult mysteries. Look at your $1 bill. EYE in top Triangle of the PYRAMID: Masonic symbol for the all-seeing eye of god – an mystical distortion of the omniscient (all-knowing) Biblical God. You can find it on the $1 bill…
I think this is the perfect article to show what kind of place this Tillman chapel is:
Rebecca’s World Peace Globe is a striking example of how she’s been inspired to create art to encourage people to make the world a better place. Her globe was so well executed that it was displayed in the Tillman Chapel at the United Nations for the first nine years of this millennium. There’s a photo of the globe at the above link.
Just who is this Rebecca? She seems to be a New Ager who telepathically communicates with “highly spiritual” ETs:
Living near a secret underground entrance can be more than interesting according to Rebecca who lives on a mountaintop in the Hendersonville, NC area. She’s talked about unique structures and unusual human activities on her mountain in a previous article titled “Second secret underground entrance exposed.” Now she talks about the extraterrestrials (ETs) on her mountaintop. “I’ve been coming up to this mountain since 1969,” Rebecca begins, “but I don’t remember communicating with the ETs until the early 1990s. Some are highly spiritual and come from more advanced civilizations than ours and some are mischievous and clearly on a lower level.”
Mischievous ETs:
“The mischievous ones seemed to have left here about two years ago,” she says, “but before that they would play with people’s minds. Sometimes they would follow them to town when they left the mountain. They would freak people out. They especially liked to scare away anyone who was highly intuitive or psychic, probably because they might tune in to what was happening beneath the mountain. They didn’t bother those who were oblivious and unaware because those people wouldn’t have a clue about what was going on anyway.”
“In the early days,” she adds, “I think they also were trying to slow me down, interfere and keep me from accomplishing my purpose for being on Earth. Over time, though, and with Divine help, I learned to telepathically talk with the mischievous ETs and could tell them to cease and desist when they would bother me or other people – and they would stop their meddling.”
Highly spiritual ETs
There are only two things the highly spiritual ETs have in common with the mischievous ones according to Rebecca. Both communicate telepathically and both prefer to remain in a higher frequency that generally is not visible to human eyes. “I’m an artist and I feel the highly spiritual ETs help inspire my creativity,” she says. “They also have helped me understand my Divine purpose.” When asked what that Divine purpose might be, she says, “I came to Earth this time to get rid of all my old karma and to do something that would help humanity make the shift because we’re all here on Earth right now to make the shift. That’s what we signed on for. Because I’m an artist, and always have been an artist, that’s how I’m going to help humanity see a new way of being a human being.”
CHRISTIAN EMBASSY TO THE UNITED NATIONS:
website: http://www.christianembassyun.org/
Christian Embassy to the Diplomat Community at the United Nations welcomes you. When you were selected to represent your people in the world’s decision-making arena at the United Nations, you were appointed to a task much larger than yourself. Your perspective on world problems was elevated above that of the ordinary person. But the view from the top is not always pleasant. The world’s problems are so complex. Struggles run deep in every nation and in every human heart. Yet the burden for finding solutions suitable to your government and for your people rests with you. This can be a burdensome and even lonely task. At the Christian Embassy we believe that your concerns are also God’s concerns, for example: peace and security, terrorism, human suffering, human rights, and the alliance of civilizations.

How about: A Bible Study on: “Sustainable Spiritual Development”! How about something totally different:
The words of Margaret Sanger: I think I have a very large number of friends here because members of The Theosophical Society, especially in America and England, were some of the very first people who had the courage in the very early days–when we were knocking at the doors about twenty years ago–to come and give us their support. I feel that it is not quite by chance or accident that I am here. I think also I am in a way only holding together the threads of the work that was started by that great and noble woman, Dr. Annie Besant, in England in the beginning of her life when she, as a young pioneer interested in the sufferings of humanity, stirred and really awakened public opinion in England regarding this question of the sufferings of women. It was not known as birth control, and perhaps it did not have the same definition. Like so many movements started at that time, it marked time for a generation, until someone else took up the work again and it spread out more widely than it had in the beginning.
(Annie Besant was one of the Theosophical biggies)
Let’s end appropriately… with a Bible passage:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

ok this is going to sound crazy…..but i heard a well-known mainstream christian pastor from california talking about members of his church—some of whom are executives in the entertainment industry. one of these members converted to christianity but prior to this had been involved in a demonic cult of very powerful hollywood executives. reportedly he recounted the fact that the demon that oversees america (the bible talks about the power structure of the angelic and demonic heirarchies over specific domains on the earth) indwells a very powerful official at the U.N.

Wow, had to book mark to read all of it and follow the links.
The ONLY thing that gives me comfort is Jesus’ words…..”remember, they hated me before they hated you”. I try to remember that everyday. Any evil who hates me I wear as an armour of honor.

Read the mention of the “Age of Aquarius” which is also the title of a popular song which came from the Broadway musical “Hair”. I don’t know how old you are but I am of an age that saw the beginning of the sixties culture when I was in my late teens. All of a sudden, there were songs about drugs and the hippe lifestyle. The turning point was the year 1967 which inspired the song “Are you going to San Francisco”. This very pretty lyrical song painted a utopian image of the hippie lifetstyle in San Francisco. Other cities such as New York also became gathering places for young people running away from home looking for something missing from their lives. This runaway phenomenom provided the culture that allowed Charles Manson to turn a group of teenagers into a cold-blooded killing machine.
Beginning in 1967 there was such a barrage of images and music seducing young people into reaching for something new just over the horizon. The arts community and media promoted the sixties youth culture as something that was bigger than life. And this just happened so suddenly.American youth was changed between the years 1967 and 1969 and it has never been the same since then. The traditional values of America were permanently and severely altered by this cultural onslaught. To me it seems like it was planned.
8) The U.N. Meddling with Religion: Part 9: Cooperation Circles and the United Religions Initiative (URI)
The U.N. Meddling with Religion: Cooperation Circles and the United Religions Initiative

Another example of the influence of the United Nations in blending all religions together into a New Agey “Global Consciousness aka: the coming Planetary Transformation aka: World Awakening aka: Shift to the New Aquarian Age” to get rid of the “exclusive” Christian Gospel.
Today’s example in Interfaithism/Religious Syncretism is called a Cooperation Circle and is used by the United Religions Initiative (URI). Their website: http://www.uri.org/
Here’s what they say about themselves:
URI (United Religions Initiative) is an internationally recognized interfaith network active in 78 countries with its global office in San Francisco, California. We cultivate and connect grassroots change-makers across religious, cultural and geographic boundaries, harnessing their collective power to take on religiously motivated violence and social, economic and environmental crises that destabilize regions and contribute to poverty.
Since the signing of our charter in 2000, we have touched the lives of millions of people of different faiths around the world through a network of 509 interfaith Cooperation Circles (CCs), whose members number half a million. Locally rooted, these groups and organizations engage people of different faiths and traditions to work together for the good of their communities. CCs address issues as diverse as AIDS, economic empowerment, civil war orphans, climate change and urban conflict. URI is the common thread, connecting them around shared principles, amplifying their voices and helping transform them from local actors into powerful coalitions for regional and global change. The Cooperation Circle-based organizational design is unique to URI. We invite you to learn more about URI’s Charter, structure, leadership and history.
You can read the URI Charter and Principles here. I’ll just quote a few that I think are the worst:
1. The URI is a bridge-building organization, not a religion.
2. We respect the sacred wisdom of each religion, spiritual expression and indigenous tradition.
7. We seek and welcome the gift of diversity and model practices that do not discriminate.
11. We seek and offer cooperation with other interfaith efforts.
21. Members of the URI shall not be coerced to participate in any ritual or be proselytized.
There’s a group called The URI at the United Nations: The URI-UN was established to provide an ongoing presence for the United Religions Initiative at the United Nations and to engage the URI in initiatives and agendas of the United Nations. For information about the United Religions Initiative global network, please visit http://www.uri.org.
URI-UN is a member of the Multi Region of the United Religions Initiative. For information about the Multi Region, please visit http://www.urimulti.org. The URI-UN is coordinated by a council made up of dedicated representatives of a number of varied religious and/or spiritual organizations. All decisions are made by consensus, often after meditative reflection.
News: In 2009, the URI-UN put our focus on the UN International Year of Reconciliation. We hosted a number of events throughout the UN calendar. On May 28th, URI-UN invited Naomi Tutu, daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to speak on “Reconciliation: Healing the Wounds (see News report). We also had gatherings as side events for the Commission on Sustainable Development on May 4th (see News report), a side event for the Commission on Social Development on Feb. 12th (see News report) and the Commission on the Status of Women on March 4th (see Photo Gallery).
URI-UN welcomed the Trail of Dreams CC to the United Nations at a launch event for the 2009 International Year of Reconciliation and the annual Gandhi-King Season for Nonviolence. The event included a World Peace Prayer Ceremony with the flags of all nations in the chapel of the UN Church Center, and a talk by Trail of Dreams leader Audri Scott Williams for the NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns-NY. (Please visit this Photo Gallery as well.)
Here’s a perfect example of a Cooperation Circle in action, partnered with the United Nations:
Golden Rule Day 2010 at the UN:
A lovely event was held at the United Nations to celebrate Golden Rule Day on April 5, 2010. The gathering began in the UN Meditation Room with a silent meditation. Then Sharon Hamilton Getz of Project Harmony and the CSVGC-NY Sacred and Transcendental Arts Working Group, welcomed everyone and spoke about Golden Rule Day. Monica Willard, UN Representative for the United Religions Initiative spoke about the URI and the history of Golden Rule Day, which was developed by the Interfaith Peace-building Initiative in Ethiopia and is supported by the URI Golden Rule Cooperation Circle. Deborah Moldow, UN Representative for the World Peace Prayer Society and facilitator of the United Religions Initiative at the United Nations (URI-UN), read portions of the Golden Rule message from Amb. Mussie Hailu, URI Regional Coordinator for Africa.
Deborah then presented the Golden Rule Medal to Diane Williams, founder of the Source of Synergy Foundation and the Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns-NY, on behalf of Project Harmony and URI-UN. Everyone in turn offered personal reasons why Diane deserved this honor, in a warm demonstration of heartfelt solidarity. Diane responded with a beautiful speech about the importance of the Golden Rule for alleviating suffering. She said she was honored, but did not think she always deserved the medal, so she would try harder to live its message.
Sharon spoke about the Golden Rule film and encouraged signing of the Golden Rule proclamation, Monica distributed Golden Rule handouts (with a nicely framed version for Diane), and Deborah distributed copies of the Charter for Compassion, urging everyone to visit the website and sign on. Then Audrey Kitagawa offered a closing prayer.
Everyone gathered for a group photograph and said together, “May Peace Prevail on Earth!” Thanks to just this one single Cooperation Circle, we have something like 6 or 7 different Interfaith groups intertwining and who-knows-how-many different religions coming together with the UN into a sparkling, beautiful Interfaithy web of Destruction.
It’s scary to realize that the average Joe will look fondly upon this group with all their talk about peace and love… when they’re actually Luciferian Theosophists meditating inside the United Nations. This Cooperation Circle and others are helping to spread the joys of Religion Blending by using “The Golden Rule” through the promotion of this Golden Rule poster featuring 13 different religions and how they all teach the same thing. They also want to get “the Golden Rule Day Proclaimed at the United Nations.”
At ReligiousTolerance.org, you’ll find out why the promotion of the Golden Rule is important to the spreaders of the Interfaith message:
The “Golden Rule” (a/k.a. Ethics of Reciprocity)
Background. Failure of religions; Why reciprocity is so important now.
Religious groups differ greatly in their concepts of deity, other beliefs, and practices. Many Eastern religion stress philosophy of life over theological concepts; Western religions often do the opposite. Non-theistic ethical and philosophic systems, like Humanism and Ethical Culture, also exhibit a wide range of beliefs. However, there is near unanimity of opinion among almost all religions, ethical systems and philosophies on one topic: that each person should treat others in a decent manner.
Almost all of these religious and secular groups have passages in their holy texts, or writings of their leaders, which promote this Ethic of Reciprocity. The most commonly known version in North America is the Golden Rule of Christianity. It is often expressed as “Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you.” One result of this Ethic is the concept that every person shares certain inherent human rights, simply because of their membership in the human species. People are individually very different; they come in three genders (female, male, intersexual); different sizes, colors, and shapes; three sexual orientations; various gender identities, different degrees of ability, etc. They follow many religious and economic systems, speak many languages, and follow many different cultures. But there is a growing consensus that all humans must be considered equal in importance. As a minimum, all should enjoy basic human rights. The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is one manifestation of this growing worldwide consensus.
A failure of many organized religions:
In our opinion, the greatest failure of many organized religions is their historical inability to convince their followers that the Ethic of Reciprocity applies to all humans, not merely to fellow believers like themselves. It is our group’s belief that religions should stress that their members also use their Ethic of Reciprocity when dealing with persons of other religions, other genders, other cultures, other sexual orientations, other gender identities, etc. Only when this is accomplished will religiously-related oppression, mass murder and genocide cease.
Crimes against humanity require that the victims first be viewed as subhuman. If the Ethic of Reciprocity is applied to all humans, then no person or group of persons can be seen in this way. Why the Ethic of Reciprocity is particularly important today:
The survival of the human species may depend upon this Ethic. There are on the order of 30,000 Christian faith groups in the worlds, and untold numbers of faith groups within other religions. Many teach that they alone have the full truth, and that all other faith groups are in partial or complete error.
In the past and now, this has generated a great deal of religiously based hatred, conflict, and violence. It has triggered extensive oppression due to heresy hunters within religions. It has contributed to wars between religions or between different traditions of a single religion. Today, with the availability of weapons of mass destruction, it is quite possible that future conflicts may increase in intensity to endanger the survival of the human species.
There are only two approaches that we have found to prevent this. One appears impossible, the other merely very difficult:
1. Create doubt among believers about the validity of their beliefs. It is unlikely that 9/11, Waco or the attack on the Murrah Building, etc. would have happened if the people involved had even a slight doubt about possessing absolute truth. Unfortunately, one of the features of religion is that many believers tend to tenatiously believe that their beliefs are absolutely true. Thus, creating doubt and skepticism is virtually impossible. (ETK note: the authors here capitalize on the false propaganda that 911 was executed by Moslem extremists, when in fact it was just one of man y instance of “state-sponsored, false-flag, synthetic terrorism”)
2. Have faith groups widen the range of the Golden Rule to encompass not only fellow believers but people of all faiths and none. In Matthew 22:34-40, Mark 12:28-31, and Luke 10:25-37, Yeshua of Nazareth’s (Jesus Christ’s) parable of the Good Samaritan shows us that he intended the Golden Rule to apply to other humans. When the Golden Rule is interpreted in this way, human rights — including religious freedom — become a priority by all and for all.
Moving back to this Cooperation Circle example, here’s a little something about Audrey Kitagawa who “offered” the closing prayer. Audrey seems to be from a group called “The Light of Awareness International Spiritual Family” which uses New Agey terms like “avatar“:
On July 13, 1914, Divine Mother was born in the little sugar town of Waipahu on the Island of Oahu, in Hawaii. She was the second of eight children. Her family was very poor, and could only afford to send her to school up through the eighth grade. Throughout childhood, Mother was deeply spiritual, and always prayed for others. She was sent to work as a maid, and later married. She had five children, and remained at home to care for the family. Around 1972, a divine messenger appeared to Mother, and told Mother that Sri Ramakrishna had sent her to show Mother how to give God’s message for this age.
Sri Ramakrishna was an avatar, a divine incarnation of God who was born in India in 1836, and died on August 15, 1886. Sri Ramakrishna came to harmonize all religions. He said, “I am the string running through all the pearls,” (the pearls being the individual religions of the world). Sri Ramakrishna manifested God’s pure love and taught universal tolerance and respect for all religions. God Is One, though men call Him by different names, and it is His Life that resides in each person. Sri Ramakrishna did not want us to lose sight of this eternal truth by getting enmeshed in dogmas, sects or creeds. He wanted us to live daily, the inherent messages that the perfect masters gave throughout the ages: God is love, peace, and compassion. In spiritual realization, we can know our divine nature, which transcends all religions.
Mother left the body on May 22, 1992. Before she left, she gave me her power of attorney and said, “Audrey, you carry Sri Ramakrishna’s Light to the world for Me.”This Light is to be taken to God’s children who hunger and thirst to know Him, and long to understand Him in daily life. Everywhere, people are suffering in their alienation from God and are looking for love, understanding, and acceptance, but in things outside of themselves. We must come within, for God is already sitting in our hearts the closest to us of all, and we must enter this sacred chamber to find Him there. This is the journey back to the Godself.
I gave up my law practice in November of 1996, and now devote myself fully to serving God. I travel all over the world sharing with others the beautiful love and light that Divine Mother gave to me. I have visited with spiritual family in Los Angeles, New Jersey, Florida, San Francisco, Maui, Big Island and Australia. There will be more traveling down the road.
Meditations are held six days a week in Honolulu and weekly in Los Angeles; San Francisco; Long Valley, New Jersey; Townsville, Australia; and Kula, Maui. More homes will be opened for meditation and sharing as the spiritual family continues to grow.
Meet Monica Willard… the head of “United Religions Initiative at the UN.”
Here’s Bishop William Swing talking about the history of the URI.
The History of the United Religions Initiative: (PDF)
At 74, William Swing, born and reared in Huntington, W.Va., is hardly letting up. His latest endeavor is nothing less than uniting the religions of the world. “For this, I have been called the Antichrist, New Age, nuts and an apostate,” Swing said with a smile in his office in the Presidio of San Francisco. “Religions can be a reason for people to destroy one another. But there are people in every society who want to build a civil society. We support them.”
Swing, who sees himself as a “spiritual entrepreneur,” took out a $1 million line of credit to build his organization, United Religions Initiative. “When I got the line of credit, I was living on a clergy’s salary. I have gambled everything on this.”
A new goal to unite religions
The idea for United Religions Initiative came about in 1993, when Swing was asked to host at Grace Cathedral the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.
“I said, ‘Sure,’ and went to bed that night thinking the nations of the world have met every day for 50 years, yet the religions of the world have not spoken. So I figured if there is a United Nations, there has to be a United Religions.”
He and his wife set out in 1996 on a global tour to meet religious leaders of the world, including the Dalai Lama at his palace in India. It took an additional four years of planning, debating and writing the organization’s charter for United Religions to be founded. Charles Gibbs, an Episcopal priest who serves as the initiative’s executive director, said, “Even though I was born and raised in the Episcopal Church, I never believed Christianity was the only answer. Religions do a lot of good, and evoke the absolute best in people. But extremism happens when religions claim to have the unique path to the Ultimate.”
Here’s part of Carl Teichrib’s story about attending the URI charter signing in 2000:
Dressed in the garb of their “faith traditions,” supporters of the global interfaith agenda stood in a large circle on the Carnegie Melon University campus, located in historic Pittsburgh. Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, Wiccans, New Agers, Muslims, followers of Judaism and Zoroastrianism, along with devotees of a multitude of religions joined together as native spiritualists invoked the “great spirit” and “cleansed” the circle with smoke from a smudge pot. Once the smudge had made it around the group, indigenous drummers from India led the procession to the University Center.The United Religions Initiative global charter signing summit was officially opened.
Watching the processional from the sidelines, it struck me that this organization, the URI, was nonexistent only five years ago. And while the present charter summit was not large in terms of attendees, it was designed to make a long-term impact on the global religious scene. We had gathered to make history. The Pittsburgh URI summit was a six-day event starting on Sunday, June 25.
The actual charter signing, officially launching the world body, was held on Monday, June 26—the same day that the United Nations charter signing took place back in 1945. This was not a coincidence. The United Nations, through the vision of UN official Robert Muller and the events surrounding its fiftieth anniversary, was the guiding force behind the creation of the URI. Cementing this link, a letter of support from the San Francisco chapter of the United Nations Association was read on Sunday, and at the Monday charter signing, a congratulatory conference call came from the UN.
Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the telephone connection failed. Many other links between the URI and the United Nations exist. Currently, the URI and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) are partners in the United Nations sponsored International Year for the Culture of Peace, and in a concurrent peace program called Manifesto 2000.
The URI also has a “Cooperation Circle” inside the UN. Cooperation Circles, or CC for short, are at the heart of the URI agenda. CCs are self-organized groups that are “locally rooted and globally connected.” According to the URI, “Cooperation Circles support the spirit, values and vision expressed in the URI Charter’s Preamble, Purpose and Principles and carry out this vision in a multitude of ways.” Net-working CCs “provide opportunity for worldwide collective interfaith actions.”
In essence, CCs are local church-like interfaith settings where URI members come together in inter-religious worship and interfaith community planning. It’s the URI at the grassroots level.
More on the Cooperaton Circles:
Interfaith Cooperation Circles (CCs) are the heart of URI. Independently organized, self-governing and self-funding, they build cooperation among people of all faiths and traditions to address the most pressing issues facing their collective communities, including poverty, religiously motivated violence, environmental degradation and more. Cooperation Circles range in size from a minimum of seven members to tens of thousands, representing at least three faiths or traditions, including the non-religious, and subscribe to the shared vision outlined in URI’s Charter. They are connected to one another and the global URI network through eight regional anchor points, where regional coordinators help CCs build capacity, organize regional gatherings and trainings, and seed new CCs. URI’s global office in San Francisco provides support for regional leaders, maintains a global communications network, organizes conferences to bring CCs together from all over the globe, and supports three global initiatives, the Traveling Peace Academy, the Young Leaders Program and the Environmental Satellite.
All this talk about cooperation between religions for peace-building and poverty-reduction might lull some people to a soothing slumber, so let me bang a huge gong right now and WAKE THEM UP!!! with this final anecdote:
Meet Donald Frew:
In June, I flew to Pittsburgh for the 2000 Global Summit of the URI. The conference was a week long, but the highlight was the signing of the URI Charter. (A full report, like my previous URI Summit reports, is forthcoming.) 300 delegates representing over 40 faith traditions came from 44 countries to participate. By the end of this conference, the URI Interim Global Council had approved 85 local and regional founding CCs around the world.
The Spirituality & the Earth CC met several times during the Summit, and almost doubled our numbers! We are now 19 individuals from 5 countries representing 10 faith traditions. A highlight for me was being asked to perform a “traditional Wiccan foundation blessing” in the closing ceremony, to which I said “Sure!” and went back to my room to write one. What made this special is that, up ’til know, we had always used fairly generic terms like “Lady” and “the Goddess” in our public interfaith blessings. In this one, I specifically invoked Hekate and Hermes by name, and Bishop Swing was right there raising his arms in invocation with the rest of the Circle! We have, indeed, come a long way.
9. The United Nations as Jewish “World Instrument” and Multi-pronged Implementation of the Protocols Plan
From The Controversy of Zion (1956, 1978, 1985) by Douglas Reed
When the Jewish direction of the world-revolution became discernable by the middle of the last century (19th century), it was under direction by the Ashkenazi (Eastern, or Slavic) Jews. The Sephardic (Western, or Iberian) Jews were in the mass strongly opposed to it. It was directed against them as much as against Christendom….
Up to that time the Western Jews had only been dimly aware of these Eastern Jews, and to the Christian West they were unknown. Their cohesion as a mass, and the energy which had been stored up in them by many centuries of rabbinical absolutism in the ghettoes was to make of them, when they entered the West, the most powerful of all the forces which shaped the events of the 20th Century. They were good material for the purpose to which they were put. Racially of barbaric Asiatic origins, for centuries they had received a Talmudic training in the regimentation as strict as that of any ancient Oriental despotism.
In the grand strategy which unfolded during the 19th Century they were employed for a double purpose, and with skill were used to achieve ends, so contradictory, that their simultaneous accomplishment must have been held impossible, before it came about, by any rational observer. In Russia itself they were used, as a mass to wreck emancipation (for there would have been no hope of reclaiming the emancipated Jews of Western Europe if these had seen that the Eastern Jews, too, were becoming emancipated.) To the outer world they were simultaneously depicted, while they blocked the process of emancipation in Russia, as being the victims of a cruel, “anti-Semitic” persecution which wantonly denied them emancipation!…
The gentile politicians of the West presented these fictions to their peoples as truth, for they had found that powerful Jews, in all countries, were able to assist parties favoured by them with money, press support and votes; the return they required was support for the cause of the “persecuted” Jews in Russia and for the “return” to Palestine. In effect this meant that politicians who sought these favours had to subordinate national interest to two causes ultimately destructive of all nation-states: the revolution and the ambition to acquire territory for the dominant race…. In this way also that state of the mass-mind began to take shape which would not brook any confutation, no matter how fully proven, of the legend of the permanent Jewish persecution and of a disease endemic in Gentile man (an epidemic at that time in Russia called “anti-Semitism”). When it was dangerous to believe that the world was round, the multitude vocally agreed that it was flat; this condition was reproduced, in respect of Talmudic Judaism’s propaganda, in the 19th Century with the results which have been seen in this one….
The rabbinical directorate of Jewry, in its Eastern fastnesses, set out to use these Judaized Tartars (aka Khazars or Ashkenazi) from Russia against the emancipated Jews of the West and against the West itself. The secretive life of Jewry has made the counting of Jewish heads impossible at all periods. This lack of any trustworthy figures of Jewish populations enabled the ruling sect a century ago to begin, and in our day almost to complete, an astonishing biological operation; they have transformed nearly all Jews into Ashkenazim!…. Thus, the elders of Judaism twice have expunged masses by strokes of the pen….
…. An ambition which perhaps was not hugely foolish among Near Eastern tribes and in the small space of the known world in 500 BC, thus became the megalomaniac one of our global era, which is witnessing an attempt to impose an ancient tribal law, born in the petty feuds of little ancient lands, upon the world. The Gentile is apt to imagine that The Law which governs this undertaking is that which he can find in the Torah, or Old Testament, which he shares with the Jew, but this is not true. The Old Testament contains a lofty law of righteousness and neighbourly behaviour and inspired glimpses of the universal “house of prayer of all peoples.” This Law was rejected by Judah, and the Torah includes the interpolations and cancellations which nullify it; but at any rate it contains both, it is two books, and any man may choose the one that seems to him to be the word of God. In fact that is what Christianity did; it took from the Old Testament, and applied to itself, those parts of the Torah which have a universal application, and it ignored the Levitical insertions which voided the moral commandments.
But the Judaic Law under which the Eastern rabbinate directed Eastern Jews into the revolutionary camp is that of the Talmud, of which “the modern Jew is the product” (Mr. Rodkinson, previously cited). The Talmud contains no lofty law of righteousness applicable to all men, but sets up the creed of Moloch, shorn of the universal applications, it is one book, not two. It is the uncompromising response to Christianity: the precepts of justice, of equity, or charity towards one’s neighbour, are not only not applicable with regard to the Christian, but constitute a crime in anyone who would act differently. The Talmud expressly forbids one to save a non-Jew from death…. To restore lost good, etc., to him, to have pity on him” (the former Rabbi Drach, already quoted). This was the Law of the Slavic Ashkenazim in their ghettoes, the Ashkenazim, under stern direction, became the engineers of the world revolution; and according to the Judaic authorities the Ashkenazim are now “the Jews”, or 85 percent of them.
Comparative study of the Protocols and of the Weishaupt papers leads to the strong deduction that both derive from a common and much older source. They cannot have been the product of any one man or one group of men in the period when they were published; the peoples ”uncanny knowledge” displayed in them obviously rests on the cumulative experience of eras. In particular, this applies (in Weishaupt’s papers and the Protocols alike) the knowledge of human weaknesses, which are singled out with analytical exactitude, the method exploiting each of them being described with disdainful glee.
… (According to the Protocols)…. “Absolute despotism” is to be vested in the international super-State at the end of the road. In the meanwhile regional puppet-despots are depicted as essential to the process of breaking down the structure of states and the defenses of
Within a few weeks of the publication of the (Communist) Manifesto (1848), revolts occurred all over Germany, in Austrai, Hungary, Italy, France and Denmark. This was proof that the individual “secret societies” in the various countries were fusing together, that some means had been found to co-ordinate and synchronize their outbreaks, and thus, for the first time, to demonstrate world-revolution in action, through simultaneous eruptions in numerous countries. Probably only one organization, already existing at that time, had at its disposal the international network which could make this synchronization and co-ordination possible, and that was the Talmudic rabbinate in Eastern Europe…. What Disraeli had known and stated two years before became historical fact: “that mighty revolution which is at this moment preparing in Germany…. Is developing entirely under the auspices of the Jews.” Karl Marx and his Communist Manifesto were the outward and visible signs of a significant historic event: Talmudic Judaism had taken over the world-revolution.
The chief result of the First War was to establish revolutionary-Zionism and revolutionary-Communism as new forces in international affairs, the first with a promised “homeland” and the second with a resident State. The chief result of the Second War was the further “territorial gains” accrued to, and only to, Zionism and Communism: Zionism received its resident State and Communism received half of Europe….. The simultaneous triumphs of Bolshevism in Moscow and Zionism in London in the same week of 1917 were only in appearance distinct events. The identity of their original source has been shown in an earlier chapter, and the hidden men who promoted Zionism through the Western governments also supported the world-revolution. The two forces fulfilled correlative tenets of the ancient Law: “Pull down and destroy…. Rule over all nations,” the one destroyed in the East and the other secretly ruled in the West.
1917 gave proof of Disraeli’s dictim about the revolution in its 1848 phase, when he said that Jews headed “every one” of the secret societies and aimed to destroy Christianity. The controlling group that emerged in 1917 was so preponderantly Jewish that it may be called Jewish. The nature of the instigating force then became a matter of historical fact, not of further polemical debate. It was further identified by its deeds: the character of its earliest enactments, a symbolic mockery of Christianity, and a special mark of authorship deliberately given to the murder of the monarch. All these bore the traits of a Talmudic vengeance.
The especial characteristic of the two 20th Century wars is the disappointment which each brought to the peoples who appeared to be victorious. “Uncanny knowledge,” therefore, again seems to have inspired the statement, made in 1905 or earlier (the Protocols), “Ever since that time (the French Revolution) “we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another,” followed later by this: “by these acts all States are in torture; they exhort to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything for peace; but we will not give them peace until they openly acknowledge our international Super-Government, and with submissiveness.” The words, written before 1905, seem accurately to depict the course of the 20th Century.
(The Protocols explain): If the nations embroiled in wars are denied “territorial gains,” the only victors will then be “our international agentur…. Our international rights with then wipe out national rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule the nations precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their subjects among themselves.” To bring about this state of affairs compliant politicians are needed, and of them the Protocols say: “The administrators whom we shall choose from among the public, with strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience, will not be persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore easily become pawns in our game in the hands of men of learning and genius who will be their advisers, specialists bred and reared from early childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world.”
The reader may judge for himself whether this description fits some of “the administrators” of the West in the last five decades; the test is their attitude towards Zionism, the world-revolution and world government…. But “deadly accuracy” appears to reside even more in the allusion to “advisers.”…. Here again is “uncanny knowledge,” displayed more than fifty years ago (as of 1956). In 1905 the non-elected but powerful “adviser” was publically unknown. True, the enlightened few, men like Disraeli, knew that “the world is governed by very different persons from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes,” but to the general public the passage would have been meaningless.
In the First and Second (World) Wars, however, the non-elected, unofficial but imperious “advisor” became a familiar public figure. He emerged into the open (under “emergency powers”) and became known to and was passively accepted by the public masses…… The Protocols foretold this regime of the “advisers”- when none understood what was meant and few would have credited that they would openly appear in the high places.)
(ETK note: Examples of prominent (Illuminati) agentur/“advisers” include Bernard Barcuch and Col. Edward House as American agentur during WWI, Harry Hopkins, Harry Dexter White, Alger Hiss, and Henry Morgenthau Jr. during WWII, and Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Bzrezinski, and ……. Maurice Strong in the post-WWII era,).
The Protocols of 1905 said that resistance to the plan therein unfolded would be met by “universal war.” Max Nordau in 1903 said that the Zionist ambition in Palestine would be achieved through “the coming world war”…. At its start the main objective was to gain control of the British Government. The struggle to do this lasted two years and ended in victory for the intriguers, whose activities were unknown to the public masses. This battle, fought in the “labyrinth” of “international politics,” was the decisive battle of the First World War.
Again, the document says “it is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains.” This very phrase, of 1905 or earlier, was made the chief slogan, or apparent moral principle, proclaimed by the political leaders of America and Britain in both world wars, and in this case the difference between “the word” and “the deed” of the diplomat has been shown by results. The chief result of the First (World) War was to establish revolutionary-Zionism and revolutionary-Communism as new forces in international affairs, the first with a promised “homeland” and the second with a resident State. The chief result of the Second (World) War was that further “territorial gains” accrued to, and only to, Zionism and communism; Zionism received its resident State and Communism received half of Europe. The “deadly accuracy” (Lord Synenham’s words) of the Protocols forecasts weems apparent in this case, where a specious phrase used in the Procotols of 1905 became the daily language of American presidents and British prime ministers in 1914-18 and 1939-45.
(Paraphrase by ETK) Thus (in 1917) the three great “Plans” moved into the West to set up “a new international order” via 1) establishment of the “League of Nations” to transfer control of national armies to some super-national committee which could use them for “the management of human affairs” in ways serving its own special ends, 2) the Russian Revolution to establish communism as a mechanism to destroy all nations, and 3) the establishment of the Zionist state of Israel as the one nation that would survive the rest and rule the world.
Its (establishment of the League of Nations) basic principle was the destruction of nation-states and nationhood so that it gave expression, in modern form, to the ancient conflict between the Old Testament and the New, between Levitical Law and the Christian message. The Torah-Talmud is the only discoverable, original source of this idea of “destroying nations”…. In this case the track can be followed back through the centuries to 500 BC, and it is nowhere obliterated during those twenty-five hundred years.
The Second (World) War produced a third result, additional to the advance of the (communist) revolution into Europe and the establishment by force of the Zionist state, namely, the second attempt to set up the structure of a “world government” on the altar of which Western nationhood was to be sacrificed (the United Nations). This is the final consummation to which the parallel processes of Communism and Zionism are evidently intended to lead; the idea first emerged in Weishaupt’s papers, began to take vigorous shape in the 19th Century, and was expounded in full detail in the Protocols of 1905. In the First War it was the master-idea of all the ideas which Mr. House and his associates “oozed into the mind” of President Wilson, and sought to make the president think were “his own.”
…… The (post-WWII) Talmudic vengeance was the start of a new era in the history of the West, during which all national considerations were to subordinated to the cause of Jewish nationhood, as represented by the Talmudists from Russia.
By 1944, Mr. Churchill was using the term “world instrument..” (for the United Nations) and the obvious question arose, “whose instrument?” … Against whom would it be used? The answer is given by all the propagandists for this idea; the one thing they all attack is “the sovereignty of nations.” Ergo, it would be used to erase separate nationhood (in fact, only in the West). By whom would it be used? The results of the great wars of this century supply the answer to that question.
Against that background the “United Nations Organization” was set up in 1945. Within two years (that is, while the confusion-period of the Second War still continued), the true nature of “world government” and the “world instrument” was for an instant revealed. For the first time the peoples were shown what awaited them if this idea were ever fully realized. They did not understand what they were shown then and forgot it at once, but the disclosure is on record and is of permanent value to the student now and for as long as this idea of the super-national “authority”, so clearly foretold in the Protocols of 1905, continues to be promoted by powerful men behind the scenes of international politics. At his point in the narrative the figure of Mr. Bernard Baruch first emerges from the advisory shadows into full light, so that reasonable inferences may be drawn about his long part in the events of our century.
As has been shown, he made a decisive intervention in favour of the Zionist state in 1947 by “changing a great deal” from his earlier hostility to Zionism (Dr. Weizmann) and by advising a responsible Cabinet officer, Mr. James Forrestal, to discontinue his opposition. That is the first point at which Mr. Baruch’s influence on state policy maybe clearly traced, and it is a significant one, discouraging to those who hope for Jewish “involvement in Mankind”, for up to that time he seemed to be (and presumably wished to appear) a fully integrated American, a paragon of Jewish emancipation, tall, handsome, venerable and greatly successful in his affairs. –
In 1933 Mr Bernard J. Brown wrote, “Being consciously Jewish is the lowest kind of chauvinism, for it is the only chauvinism that is based on false premises.” The premises are those of the Talmud-Torah; namely, that God promised a certain tribe supremacy over all enslaved others in this world, and exclusive inheritance of the next world in return for strict observance of a Law based on blood sacrifice and the destruction or enslavement of the lesser breeds without his Law. Whether Talmudic chauvinism or Zionist chauvinism (I believe either term is more correct than Mr. Brown’s “Jewish chauvinism”) is or is not “the lowest kind” of chauvinism, these fifty years have that it is the most violent known to man.
Mr. Arthur Koestler, describing his scrutiny of Judaism, wrote, “Most bewildering of all was the discovery that the sage of the “Chosen Race” seemed to be taken quite literally by traditionalist Jews. They protested against racial discrimination, and affirmed in the same breath their racial superiority based on Jacob’s covenant with God.”
