This article appeared originally as "Masters of the Blinding Light: What the Jewish People
Should Know About the New Age Movement", posted to the Web in 3/97 (Adar Bet 5757)
courtesy of the Jewish Student Union, University of Colorado. A copy was filed at that time
in the archives of the Sassoon Center for the Study of Antisemitism (Hebrew University,
Jerusalem). It was removed from the U of Colorado webserver in 10/99, without notice or
explanation. But for those interested, it can still be found on other sites.
This is a newer version with many important additions, as well as updated facts and better
links. As before, all the material in this series is drawn directly from New Age leaders
themselves, either as direct quotes or summaries from primary sources. Only occasionally did
I resort to second-hand information (someone else writing about the New Age from the
outside); these are duly noted and are limited to sources either neutral or favorable to New
Age philosophy. Undocumented quotes were considered hearsay and not used at all. [Any of
my own comments or opinions are enclosed in brackets like this, to distinguish them from the
objective report.] If anyone has other documented evidence pertaining to any subject
addressed here, feel free to contact me.
*NOTE:* There are NO copyright restrictions to any of this material, as far as I am
concerned. You may quote, reproduce and distribute it on two conditions: (1) that you leave it
as it stands - do not "put words in my mouth" or delete text without making it clear that you've
done so; and (2) that it is offered free of charge.
But first, a few words to the different readers checking out these pages.
All the material from this point until Part A are of course my own perceptions. But
they are based on four years of intensive absorption of the New Age mentality, and
I submit them with the confidence that they are accurate.
News for Jews involved in New Age groups:
In a nutshell, the 'New Age' is a political/religious movement which seeks to unite the world
under the guidance of non-human spirits, in the process singling out Judaism - and eventually
the Jewish people - for destruction. One of the "new" things about the "new" age is a human
race purged of all Jewish presence.
"That's ridiculous!..." you will automatically say. If "New Age" stands for anything, it
stands for a new era of enlightened equality for all peoples and all religions. Are you willing
to test this claim? If it's true, then we can find New Age leaders everywhere teaching that
historical Judaism - the Judaism which survived and developed over 4000 years, known today
as "orthodox Judaism" - is as enlightened a religion as any other on the planet, right? Oops.
"Well, okay -- there is the Jewish people, and then there's Judaism." The fact that orthodox
Judaism is targeted for elimination in the coming new age will come as a shock to some
involved in New Age groups which preach 'tolerance for all religions of the world'. Others
are aware of it, but feel that Judaism really is a separatist, arrogant religion, based on an
outmoded, narrow code called Torah which has been needlessly restricting humanity; of
course it has to go, or at least be overhauled until its distinctives are removed. But as far as
