It is a new mind - the ascendence of a startling worldview."
(New Age leader Marilyn Ferguson, _The Aquarian Conspiracy_, p.23)
A. How Big a Conspiracy?
_The Aquarian Conspiracy_ by 'Marilyn Ferguson' (pub. 1980) was the first major book by
NA leadership claiming to catalog the extent of their movement. Ferguson had proclaimed
then: "They have coalesced into small groups in every town and institution. They have
formed what one called 'national non-organizations.' Some conspirators are keenly aware of
the national, even international, scope of the movement and are active in linking others....
There are legions of conspirators... in corporations, universities, hospitals, on the faculties of
public schools, in factories, in doctors' offices, in state and federal agencies, on city councils
and the White House staff, in state legislatures, in volunteer organizations, in virtually all
arenas of policy-making in the country [U.S.]... [including] at the cabinet level of the United
States Government." (_The Aquarian Conspiracy_, p.23, 24, 235).
Wasn't she exaggerating? Considering the statements of other like-minded spokespeople
which we will examine in this series, and the tremendous changes our society has experienced
since this New Age manifesto was published, it's more accurate to say that Ferguson broke it
to us gently. We are indeed confronting "a new mind" being orchestrated on a global scale.
Only it is not "new". [Nor is its conspiracy "benign" from a Jewish point of view, as we will
see.]
Contrary to past esoteric groups which were shrouded in secrecy, New Age is quite obliging
in identifying the members of their "benign conspiracy", whom the leading spokesmen claim
are all supportive of "The Plan" for a "New World Order". The extent to which NA thought
has become acceptable is evidenced by the fact that the writings of Alice A. Bailey, the main
architect of the Plan, and Helena P. Blavatsky, the "grandmother of New Age", can now be
accessed online - complete with outrageous passages about the Jews and Judaism. [My quotes
from these two are drawn from these online versions.] New Age "Directories" have been on
sale since the early 1970s, and mushroomed in 1975 when the movement received
"transmissions" from "the ascended Masters" (their spirit guides) to go public. One such early
directory (_International New Consciousness Directory_, New Age Media, 1979) contained
10,000 groups (excluding branches) in North America alone. [One can only guess at the
number after 20+ years.... so I cannot list more than a representative sample. Many of the
entries are from the research of U.S. attorney Constance Cumbey and are listed in her work
_The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow_.]
1. There are umbrella groups actively "networking" other smaller organizations into the
Plan. Here is a partial list of the older, more established groups: the International Cooperation
Council (since changed to Unity in Diversity - a network of 300+ organizations), Lucis Trust
(publisher of Alice Bailey's books, once called Lucifer Publishing; also the parent org of
World Goodwill), Stanford Research Institute (educational material, including a "New Age
Manifesto"), the Lorian Association (headed by David Spangler), Share International (headed
by Benjamin Creme), Amnesty International, World Federalists (world politics), The
Networking Institute (prominent in the Far East), The New Group of World Servers (social
action, founded by Bailey), "Whole Earth catalogs" (environment and nutrition, with esoteric
religion thrown in), the First Earth Battalion (US Military), Planetary Citizens (global
politics), the Rainbow Coalition (interracial unity), The Temple of Understanding (interfaith
