The Rainbow Swastika - The Gods of the New Age
Strangely, what Bailey calls "the great plan [of the Logos] for the self-conscious unfoldment of life" (_Initiation_, p.29), which starts with
affirming our own godhood, is destined to end in "no-name-ness", as NA leader Dr. Jose Arguelles puts it. (_Meditation Magazine_,
published by the Intergroup for Planetary Oneness, Summer 1987) To participate in theGroup Mind requires the loss of everything that
makes us unique - including the individual mind which NAers spend so much effort in developing, and all psychic powers they have labored
to acquire. According to Montgomery, the human mind is "vacated" so that "the entity slips in" (_Strangers_ p.25). But NA philosopher
Manly P. Hall is more honest, calling it not a vacating process but a death: "The mind... must be ultimately sacrificed in order that the Great
Work be accomplished. By the death of the mind consciousness is released to complete perfection." (_Lectures on Ancient Philosophy_
p.65) As Hall describes it, the only difference between Eastern and Western paths to godhood is that the latter teaches "the perfection of the
mind before its rejection, whereas the Eastern schools are prone to regard the mind as a hindrance, to be discarded at the very beginning of
spiritual growth." The Eastern path "slays the mind", while in the Western path the mind comes to "a realization of its own insufficiency",
and commits suicide "as a willing sacrifice." (p.67) [Don't look now, but the bottom just fell out of the NA "unlimited potential of the human
mind".] Bailey describes the loss of individuality as well, where "the lesser light... of the personality (personal self) is absorbed into the
greater light of the Angel or soul." The original personality becomes only a "shell" which has undergone "the fires of purification".
(_Glamour - A World Problem_, p.269-270) The implication is that personhood is a defilement, an illusory "glamour" which blocks one from
godhood. [So much for the popular conception that NA supports the quest for individual freedom... "I gotta be me" is the very antithesis of
NA enlightenment.]
8. Masters of God-Men or of Puppets? The Hierarchy promotes the idea that every possible universe is equally "real" in your mind, where
as an enlightened person you can "create your own reality" at will. But once the individual mind is "sacrificed" to oblivion as a "hindrance",
where is reality to be found? The answer must be that reality is being createdby other minds, pre-determined and presented for the nowmindless
NA initiate to follow without alteration. All NA plans for world domination (known in the UN under the euphemism "Global
Governance") and all NA evaluations (who is "more highly evolved" than others, how one moves up, who is to be considered unsalvagable
for the "quantum leap") are set exclusively by "revelations" from the above-mentioned "masters of wisdom". These spirits have chosen
certain physical spokesmen to transmit their knowledge to the world without critique; this is why they are known as "channelers". (In Tenach
days they were called witches, spiritists and mediums, and were unfairly persecuted by a few of the Jewish leaders and by many Christians
but welcomed by many others.) The New Age is densely populated with such human transmitters. [When they are quoted throughout this
series it should be kept in mind that they themselves do not take credit for their statements or books, and some even prefer anonymity.
Skeptics may insist that these channelers are conjuring up "messages" from their own minds, which is likely in many cases. However, there
are too many instances of such people conveying real, verifiable information that is not accessible to them on a human level; some are
undeniably receiving knowledge from a source outside themselves. The curious thing is that only one remarkable instance is enough to
validate a channeler in the eyes of NA psychic-junkies: any subsequent mistakes or contradictory directives are excused, as well as outright
transgression of noble NA principles. For examples, read on.]
Even global events were/are directed on the order of these unseen beings: World Healing Day, which John Randolph Price relates was in
obedience to his spirit-guide's instructions to activate a "critical mass" for a "simultaneous global mind link." Within a year, he enlisted
support from over 500 million people in 77 countries, including political leaders, and by the appointed date (31/12/86), he estimated that one
billion took part. (It is possible that the warning of Ruth Montgomery's guides of aworld war in 1987 provided extra motivation to rally
around this particular date.) Price also took direct dictation from his guide "Asher" in writing his books, _The Planetary Commission_ (see
"John & Jan's Excellent Adventure", _Earthlight Magazine_, 1996) and _Practical Spirituality_. The "World Healing Meditation" written for
World Healing Day, focuses on humanity's godhood and visualizes that "all false beliefs and error patterns are dissolved. The sense of
separation is no more, the healing has taken place, and the world is restored to sanity." [It sounds great until we remember who is responsible
for the "false belief" and "separation" in the world.] The Prices are dedicated disciples of the "Ancient Wisdom Teachings", as was Alice
Bailey, and they regularly teach at "Mystery Schools" around the world. Hillary Clinton, US First Lady for two terms and candidate for New
York Senator, revealed in 1996 that she regularly consults with "the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt" for advice. (_The Skeptic Magazine_, "Ten
Years of Skeptism") [Hillary is solidly behind NA educational principles - see that section for details.]
Foundational documents which are attributed to dictation by the "ascended masters" are zealously studied by NA disciples. They include
_The Urantia Books_, _The Cosmic Gospel_, _The Secret Doctrine_ (actually a rewrite of the _Book of Dzyan_), _The Externalisation of
the Hierarchy_, _The Rays and the Initiations_, to name only a few. You will remember that these are listed in the introduction with human
authors, but each of the authors in question claimed to merely have taken dictation from "supermortal personalities". Prime players were "El
Morya" and "Master Kuthumi", both of them "5th degree initiates" who dictated _Isis Unveiled_ to Helena Blavatsky - as claimed in a "direct
testimony" attributed to the spirit (El Morya, _The Chela and the Path_, p.122) There are other works for which spirits are directly named as
the authors: examples are _The Mahatma Letters to AP Sinnett_ (Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, India); "A Message to the
Members of the Theosophical Society from an Elder Brother" (_The Theosophist_ 47/4, p.7). Possibly the single most widely-read "ghostwriter"
[sorry for the pun, it was irresistible] is the "The Tibetan Master", aka "Djwhal Khul" or just "DK", the source of all of Alice Bailey's
books (except for _From Bethlehem to Calvary_, which he did not dictate but fully endorsed). Since these classic works were published,
many more have been produced with credits given to spirit guides, through human authors like John Randolph Price (writing for "Asher"),
Barbara Marx Hubbard (for "the elders"), David Spangler (for "John", "Pan" and simply "God") and Ruth Montgomery.
There is one all-inclusive document that does not exist on the physical plane, which occultists say may be briefly glimpsed only at the
'highest level of consciousness': this is called the "Akashic Record", said to be an imprint of all past and future events.

9. How good are the NA gods as Guides? A sample of their track record:
9a. Joint Cooperation and Responsibility - Although the "Masters" revealed to Blavatsky that they are "bound together in one spiritual
solidarity of thought and deed," (_Isis Unveiled_ II, p.159), their united deed does not always bring about the promised results. They have
even admitted making errors in choosing their vehicles - repeatedly - after confirming the wisdom of their choices. If these were indeed
errors of judgment, not only is the specific "Master" to blame, but the entire Hierarchy, since "there is the closest co-operation in all
departments... Owing to the Unity of consciousness of those who are free from the three lower planes, what transpires in one department is
known in the others." (Alice Bailey, _Initiation Human and Solar_, p.106) Yet when an earthly channel proves disappointing, it is not the
infinitely more advanced god-entity who takes responsibility, but the hapless human who had previously been promoted as a Light to the
enlightened. For example, Krishnamurti was hailed as a true vehicle of Maitreya by the Theosophical Society, and he asserted with obvious
devotion in 1927, "I am blending into the consciousness of the one Teacher... He will completely fill me." (_Krishnamurti: The Years of
Awakening_, p.241). Only 5 years later, his "Teacher" publicly disowned him in a most humiliating manner: "It became all but impossible
for him to be used any longer as my medium." ("Lord Maitreya", _Through the Eyes of the Masters: Meditations and Portraits_, p.66) Even
Alice Bailey herself, who dedicated her life as a channel for the "Masters", got the ax nearly 30 years ago in a similarly ungrateful tone: "In
