children, and these "trends" are exclusively religious in nature: "Education is a deeply
spiritual enterprise." (_Problems of Humanity_, p.34)
[The omnipresence of the rainbow in modern decor, jewelry, animated media, children's toys
and stories, organizational titles and logos, etc., now takes on new meaning - especially those
symbols which are designed to light up. The attentive reader will remember that the rainbow
as a spiritual symbol also appears in the Jewish Bible as a sign to Noah after the Flood, and
here the parallels are intriguing. In the Torah, it is a Divine covenant with humanity. The
Hierarchy has claimed it as different kind of pledge to humanity. Both sides even agree on the
context of the rainbow's first appearance: as Torah relates, G-d's creation of the rainbow was
in the context of a global catastrophe in which the Hierarchy admits being directly involved -
and inexplicably defeated by a nameless Opponent. What the Hierarchy has done, then, is to
confiscate this Biblical symbol of their final defeat and reassign it to symbolize their return
from defeat.]
[Why did NA steal the "logo" of their archenemy rather than simply adopting a symbol of
their own? The implication is not only the reliability of Torah, but several other interesting
ideas: (1) The rainbow reminder in Torah must be so humiliating and dangerous to the
defeated ones that it is imperative to overwrite its meaning, even at the risk of being
considered unoriginal. Perhaps one of the dangers is: (2) The Torah context surrounding the
rainbow may have more to say about that Cosmic War that merits further study, and can
expose the strategies of these self-declared enemies of the Jewish G-d. Along this line there is
the possibility that (3): The Hierarchy views G-d's promise to man, to never destroy the earth
again on their account, as a limitation that will work in their favor; hence their flaunting of the
symbol by which G-d bound Himself to that enduring promise. Last but not least: (4) It
shows that this is a War in which covenantal symbols are hotly contested; Jews would do well
to appreciate the power of the symbols entrusted to us as much as our enemies apparently do.]
Bailey cited the "New Group of World Servers" as the best example of Rainbow Bridge
builders on a global level. Not all members of the NGWS are conscious of this process, or
even aware of the existence of the Hierarchy. (_Discipleship_ II, 204) The only requirement
is that they practice the occult traditions of group meditation and seek to "serve". Their main
service consists of "constant and uninterrupted group meditation" on the Plan; specifically the
next stage of the Plan to be put into operation. As the beginners practice this group-think, they
are introduced to their "Ashram" or inner group; in time, they will be increasingly aware of
their spiritual counterpart, the "greater Ashram of Sanat Kumara", which is building from the
other end of the Rainbow. In their function as bridge builders, the NGWS are also conduits to
receive "impressions" from the Hierarchy, as well as radars for homing in on unaffiliated
individuals who can receive those "impressions" through meditation. The resulting "Path of
Light" will allow the "Christ" to come. (p.206-207)
Teilhard de Chardin, a NA philosopher who influenced Robert Muller, Barbara Marx
Hubbard, Peter Russell and many other NA leaders of today, expressed the same bridging
process in the symbol of a spiral tower: representing human evolution revolving in cycles,
with a periodic "leap" in consciousness continually taking humanity higher. His underlying
assumption is a process of "complexifying" which ultimately will manifest itself as an
interrelated whole with the upper realms (of the spirit), which are symbolically but also
physically trying to descend. The goal at the end of this process is to meld minds into an
intangible dimension which De Chardin calls the "noosphere", a mystical planetary
consciousness equivalent to Bailey's "Group Mind". (See de Chardin's book, _The
Phenomenon of Man_) As a result, some prominent NA organizations have adopted the
