THE RAINBOW SWASTIKA - Scattered Seed Ministries

encouraged to jettison their parents' values across the board. [For an example, see the advice
given to gifted students at Bill Clinton's Governor's School summer program.] Bailey viewed
youthful rebellion against parents as "desirable" and even necessary, to break the family's
"united front" and substitute "group life", (_Education_ IV, p.130-131) which then becomes a
"new form of family unit." (p.128) [It is important to read Robert Muller's many "Ideas" on
the "family" with this specific definition in mind. See more below.]
What is the proper role for parents in the New Age? To be educated to serve "the Law of
Rebirth", by providing physical vehicles for "incarnating souls", and through psychic contact
with "forces emanating from Shamballa" to create a "light body" for the baby before birth. In
other words, the only reason to be parents is to produce "vehicles" for the cause of
reincarnation, and to ensure that those "vehicles" will be born with a link to the Hierarchy.
(_Education_ IV, p.138, 140) Anything less is to be considered "unthinking procreation of
children", a most unenlightened attitude which only contributes to the population problem.
(So when, in a 1998 interview, NA leader Barbara Marx Hubbard laments those who "have
babies without thinking", fellow initiates will necessarily see her as referring to more than
simple family planning or population control.)
4e. OBE Misleads Parents: Not surprisingly, NA educators expected that a bit of subterfuge
and even lying to parents would be necessary to give such drastic subversion a chance to
succeed. Alert parents in the Cottage Grove High School OBE experiment found instructions
along these lines to their school administrators in the U.S. government-issued _Community
Action Tool Kit_ (from the office of the Secretary of Education) and _The Change Agents
Manual_. [Since this issues from the same office that assures us the OBE program is
completely voluntary, a healthy skepticism is appropriate regarding any reassurances from
that quarter.]
This deception is necessary, as Harvard Professor of Education and Psychiatry, Dr. Chester
Pierce pointed out in 1972, in his keynote address to the Association for Childhood Education
International: "Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane, because he
comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his parents,
toward a belief in a supernatural being [all learned at home]. It is up to you, teachers, to make
all of these sick children well by creating the international children of the future." (quoted in
several sources; see Kathy Collins who quotes it with approval, "Children are Not Chattel,"
_Free Inquiry_, pub. by the Council for Democratic and Secular Humanism, Fall 1987.
Collins' premise: "Children are not 'owned' by their parents." p.11) Decades earlier, in 1946,
psychiatrist Brock Chisholm (then head of the UN's World Health Organization) confessed,
"We have swallowed all manner of poisonous certainties fed us by our parents.... Whatever
the cost, we must [reject] the mistaken old ways of our elders.... If it cannot be done gently, it
may have to be done roughly or even violently." (quoted favorably by Hillary Clinton, _It
Takes a Village_, p.15) American courts are backing this sentiment with legislation, as in the
May 18, 1990 decision by the California Superior Court that a teacher's right to free speech in
the classroom supersedes the personal convictions of parents. As Texas Federal District
Judge Melinda Harmon succinctly put it: "Parents give up their rights when they drop the
children off at public school." (quoted in _Schooling for a Global Age_, James Becker ed.,
p.xiii)
4f. The OBE War on the (Traditional) Family: Alice Bailey blamed the traditional family
unit for promoting "separativeness, selfishness and individual, isolated exclusiveness".
(_Education_ IV, p.130) Her ideal of family life was that it serve the Hierarchy, viewing both
the sexual relationship and childrearing with the sole motive of furthering human evolution
