THE RAINBOW SWASTIKA
A REPORT TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE
ABOUT NEW AGE ANTISEMITISM

"One key question always seemed unanswerable:
'If I don't like the world government, or it doesn't like me, where do I go then?'"
(Harlan Cleveland, _The Birth of a New World_, 1993, p.62)
"You will hide [those who trust in You] in the secret place of Your Presence...."
(David, King of Israel, _Psalms_ 31:20)
J. What to Do: A Jewish Response
To date I have not seen a single Jewish response to the threat which the New Age Plan poses
to our people, not to mention the rest of mankind. I have no idea why.
Truth be told, I feel like David might have felt watching Goliath taunt "the armies of the
living G-d" with no one to answer the challenge. More accurately, I'm blown away with the
realization that hardly anyone has even noticed that there's a Goliath standing there.
I realize that some Jews are going to squirm uneasily at my personal response. Some will
accuse me of "preaching", as though prophetic-style warnings and urgings were the sole
domain of evangelical Christians. Whose prophets are they, anyway? Some will say it is not
a "Jewish" response because it is too "spiritual". To these, I can only suggest that we listen
carefully to the New Agers, who may see our weaknesses better than we do: Alice Bailey
always said that the Jews tend to deal with a spiritual problem on a rationalistic, material
level. And we do. Throw money at it, convene a conference, set up committees, file the
reports. Maybe even launch an educational program. But meanwhile the real battlefield,
which begins and ends in the individual spirit, remains abandoned to our sworn cosmic
enemies... to their smug delight.
It wasn't always that way with the Jewish people. Our own Book is filled with stories of
battles waged by Jews who knew how to fight on the ground and in the spirit as well. Our
most celebrated king, David son of Jesse, did not hesitate to combine the two strategies, a
discipline which he learned long before his ascension to the throne. To his dying day, he
attributed his success to a relationship with that same Entity who is so hated by our New Age
adversaries. There were prophets too, whose bold words and acts of faith we all look upon as
some kind of inheritance, whether we believe them or not. But today's Jews who take those
