The Rainbow Swastika - The Gods of the New Age Page 7 of 9 the past we have had to withdraw our support from those who were given the opportunity to represent us. The one who for a time had the opportunity of representing the master Djwal Kuhl soon lost that authority through intellectual pride and the brittleness of the lower mental body, which can never be the channel of the mind of God. Thus I expose to you the false teachings subtly woven into the work of Alice Bailey, whose failure to surrender totally rendered her unfit as an instrument of the Tibetan Master." ("Master Kuthumi", "An Expose of False Teachings", _Pearls of Wisdom_ 19/5, Feb. 1, 1976, p.28) [This is a warning to NA channels everywhere to expect no thanks for their years of service if they should fall from favor for any reason. It also represents a crisis of confidence for those who base their lives on "transmissions from the Masters". If Bailey's works are shot through with "false teaching", then the Hierarchy did not show a basic level of responsibility by stopping the UN, Lucis Trust, Robert Muller and all the other NA missionaries now spreading Bailey's teachings in their entirety. On the other hand, if Bailey teachings are still valid, then there must be false Masters roaming about, feeding disinformation to gullible NA audiences... in which case one might ask why all transmissions and "Masters" should not be considered suspect.] 9b. Judging Human Development - The "Masters" have an iffy track record in prediction as well, even when they blame humans in advance for any potential error. Ruth Montgomery relayed from her "Guides" the warning that a nuclear World War III would take place in 1987, unless enlightened humanity banded together to "send forth the energies toward peace." They gloomily predicted, however, that this war was "unlikely to be averted." (_Strangers..._ p.191) "Were there millions of Walk-ins working in unison, that catastrophe could perhaps be prevented, but in this present age of prosperity how many luxury lovers are likely to say to a disincarnate, 'Take my place.'" (p.53-54) [Here, compared to only 10 pages earlier, we see an abrupt switch from the compassionate offer to relieve discouraged individuals of their burdensome lives, to a guilt-trip laid on those who are not discouraged, castigating them as "luxury lovers" for not sacrificing their bodily rights for the Cause.] The "Guides" also predicted that the then-President Jimmy Carter would be succeeded by another Democratic president who would try to right things, "but this will come too late, as war will already have broken out." (p.195) Although there was still no mass recruitment for the homeless walk-ins, 1987 came and went without World War III, and the White House did not see another Democratic president for the next three terms. [Perhaps this statement was not meant to be a prediction, but rather an attempt to instruct enlightened voters in America. If so, it revealed both a misunderstanding of voter priorities and a powerlessness to influence human decisions. If they cannot "guide the little wills of men" in such a minor issue, how can they be trusted to steer a safe global course?] 9c. The Masters' handling of the "Master Jesus" is of special interest to Jews, since their most famous son is the only Jew honored with the title of "Master of the Wisdom". He is identified by Bailey as a 5th degree initiate. In _From Bethlehem to Calvary_, she claims he attained it at his death, resulting in his release from physical restraints (what onlookers interpreted as a "resurrection"). For reasons unspecified, however, he was found unworthy of this level and was returned to the 4th degree, as evidenced by his later reincarnation in a teacher Bailey calls "Appollonius of Tyana" where he [again] received the 5th degree. (_Initiation_ VI, p.56-57) But even then, Bailey's (that is, Djwahl Kuhl's) description of him in the "The Lodge of Masters" marks him as something of a failure, in that "his pupils are frequently distinguished by... fanaticism". [Summary: Jesus is the only "master" known to have been demoted from the 5th degree, and certainly the only "master" whose service is described with disapproval, be it ever so faint. This implies a grave error of judgment by the Masters who are responsible for promoting souls to a "Teacher" level. Or it implies open prejudice against the only "master" with a Jewish background. Neither possibility speaks well of the Hierarchy.] 9d. The War on Evil - Since all is god, this includes good and evil, which are merely different sides of the Divine. David Spangler (_Reflections on the Christ_) labels them the "light side" and the "dark side," or "the Christ side" and the "Lucifer side," which are equally necessary for wholeness. Spangler calls this union "the Luciferic initiation" (p.43). (The negative feedback Spangler received for being so outspoken back in 1977 apparently caused him to later downplay this comment, saying he had meant the Lucifer label "as a joke, really"; but he reaffirmed the need to unite with one's "shadowy side" to attain "balanced energies". See _Reimagination of the World_, David Spangler and William Irwin Thompson, p.7) Bailey wrote that the Atlantean war against the Black Lodge was in reality the Hierarchy's attempt to lead humanity into union of the cosmic opposites: spirit/matter, good/evil, light/dark, right/wrong. (See _Initiation, Human and Solar_, IV, p.35) Yet the Hierarchy has been carrying on acosmic war with the "Black Lodge" for ages, and has every intention of continuing. [But why declare eternal war on an entity - and in _Externalisation_ (p.76) even order their disciples to avoid any contact with the "efforts" of that entity - when by their own doctrines such an entity must be as much "God" as the Hierarchy are? It appears that there is a place for the unforgivable cosmic sins of "fear" and "separation", when it suits the Hierarchy. What or Who could trigger such a fit of spiritual regression in these "perfect beings"?] [We can understand it best in this way: In NA reality, "evil" is clearly not a problem to eradicate if it is merely the "dark side" of the cosmos. As we have seen, the "evil" which must be eliminated in the New Age is identified as "separation". It is no accident that the Jewish concept of holiness means to "separate oneself" or "turn away" from evil deeds and evil men; as the Vilna Gaon and other sages pointed out, the ceremonial laws of separation in the Torah are symbolic of the spiritual separation which is the essence of holiness (see commentaries on Parashat Kedoshim). The NA path to personal godhood requires the direct opposite: spiritual union with evil. So it is actually holiness which is the evil targeted for elimination.] 9e. Ethics and Justice - Because karma has taken over the dispensing of reward and punishment, morality and victims are obsolete concepts from the old "dualist dispensation". All injury and suffering is merited, whether the sufferer is aware of his offense or not. On the other hand, since good and evil are both necessary for spiritual perfection, those who injure or wrong others need only to be taught that man is his own satan just as man is his own salvation, and that evil is not moral guilt but spiritual imbalance. Evil energies, as Spangler says, are simply energies used out of timing or out of place, or just not suited to the needs of evolution. In accordance with this idea, prisons and mental hospitals are investing heavily in "higher consciousness" training as rehabilitation. Due to reincarnation, there is also no such thing as murder, so in the New Age no one can be prosecuted for being the instrument of karma in sending someone on to their next life; on the contrary, it can be counted a service. [All this being established NA doctrine, what of the NA groups working for "human rights"? See the Humanity section which shows that "human rights" is interpreted as the rights of "humanity", not individual human rights.] 10. The "other" creator: the G-d of the Jews. Gnosticism forms the base of Theosophical belief about the G-d of the Jewish Bible (discussed at length by HPB, _The Secret Doctrine_, II p.243-244) She identifies him as a gnostic "Demiurgos" (a minor deity) named "Ilda-Baoth, whom several sects regarded as the God of Moses." Curiously, she goes out of her way to add that Ilda-Baoth is the "Demiurge of the Nazarenes" as well. [This is the historical term for the earliest disciples of Jesus, who were all Jews.] She describes him as "not a pure spirit, he was ambitious and proud, and rejecting the spiritual light of the middle space offered him by his mother Sophia-Achamoth, he set himself to create a world of his own." He successfully "created" the physical universe, but only with help from "Sophia", who immediately regretted her part in the endeavor. HPB goes on to describe his creation of man as "a failure", resulting in "a monster, soulless, ignorant and crawling on all fours." Sophia steps in again, and endows man with a soul, which fills Ilda-Baoth with "rage and envy" as he watches his creature set out to follow the divine ray within, http://philologos.org/__eb-trs/naC.htm 2/26/2012
The Rainbow Swastika - The Gods of the New Age aspiring to godhood. In order to block man's ascension, the demiurge deliberately (and quite unfairly) leaves mankind ignorant of good and evil, the first initiation into spiritual awareness. He leaves man with only materialistic life, "physical immortality - a kind of static immortality that would have transformed man into an undying 'Wandering Jew'." [Implied here is that the Jews, whom Bailey does not hesitate to label as still "wandering", are a living example of the uninitiated who have no place of "rest" in the new humanity.] One third of the angelic gods refused to go along with this creator's scheme to withhold enlightenment from his creatures; they "rebelled", and led by Lucifer, they approached man to offer him god-consciousness. (See more in her chapter, "The Secret of the Fall of the Angels", II, p.75) "It is but natural," HPB concludes (p.243), "to view Satan, the Serpent of Genesis, as the real creator and benefactor, the Father of Spiritual mankind. For it is he who was the 'Harbinger of Light,' bright radiant Lucifer, who opened the eyes of the automaton created by Jehovah, as alleged." [See how the Nazis adopted this idea, in that section.] Bailey also describes the G-d of the Jews, but some effort is needed to identify Him beneath the occult terminology (_A Treatise on Cosmic Fire_ D, p.947-951). In the abstract terms reserved for highly placed Entities, she first calls him a "great manifestation". But, unlike the "manifestations" of the Logos, he was erroneously created by the mind of man - a misguided attempt which resulted in "distortions of the astral light". This manmade entity is also personified as "The Dweller on the Threshold", a being who is blocking the doorway to enlightenment, and who must be done away with. "A gigantic thought form hovers over the entire human family... energized by the insane desires and evil inclinations of all that is worst in man's nature, and kept alive by the prompting of his lower desires.... It is this piece of creative bungling, if so it might be called, which the Great Ones are occupied in destroying." While she at first refers to this "product of man's ignorance and selfishness" as though discussing a figment of the imagination, she finally calls Him the "evil entity". [We therefore have an "Entity War". See Robert Muller's strategies in such a war.] Moreover, the "Great Ones" are training humans to be "cooperators in the work of destruction," by directing the "interplanetary force" created by "certain mantrams and words" against this Being and against those who follow Him. [The Great Invocation is the most widely used example.] This force in turn empowers the "solar Gods" [and here, either Bailey or the editor notes that these are identified in _The Secret Doctrine_, II, p.287 as "the Fallen Angels"] to descend and manifest on the physical plane and wage a "war in heaven". Finally, Bailey says, "The hated 'Dweller on the Threshold' thus gradually dies for lack of sustenance." [Here the true nature of the Hierarchy momentarily peeps out: their desire to destroy the "Dweller" has its source in hatred, an evil motive attributed to only the most unenlightened of humans. Jews, for instance. It also betrays fear, another unenlightened attribute.] Bailey names three things by which this evil Entity "is kept alive and vitalized": (1)"wrong" and "selfish" thoughts ["selfish" is translated as refusal to surrender one's identity to the Group]; (2)"the fostering care of the brothers of the shadow, and thoserepresentative of what may be called 'cosmic evil'"; (3)the energy remaining from "an earlier solar system, and an emanation form which is no longer considered in this solar system to be a principle." Seeing that Bailey counts the current solar system as only the "second", we have only one other. The race hailing from that system is clearly guilty for bringing their unwelcome "Emanation form" along with them - one who in that age was considered a "principle", in other words a God. So when she relates: "Under the Law of Karma it [the entity] has to be dissipated by those who have created it," all NA disciples know exactly whose job it is to put to death this outdated "god thought". In summary, the "Great Ones" have arrived to help mankind "break loose from the influence" of this "persistent vampire". [Many kids' cartoons feature godlike villians who are "persistent vampires": for example the huge demon in the immensely popular "Dijimon" called "Myotismon" who keeps returning after being vanquished by the 7 energized spirit-guides.] 11. The Black Lodge, Repository of Cosmic Evil Bailey's theories of human evolution and Jewish history have cosmic roots in the ancient war of the "Great White Lodge" against the [not so Great] "Black Lodge", the latter using the "Dark Force" as their power source. [Yes, look again at the "Darth Vadar" character of _Star Wars_ fame. In the most recent episode in this series, _Episode One: The Phantom Menace_, we are taken back in time and introduced to him as a child who is identified as the "chosen one" who would "bring balance to the Force". But, as we already know, he later turns to the "dark side" through events which will no doubt be revealed in a future episode. As Bailey taught, the Jewish people were also "chosen" in the distant past, destined to "produce that balancing" in their pivotal position between the "Dark Forces" on one side and the Hierarchyhumanity alliance on the other (_Externalisation_, p.74) But they too turned to the Dark Side after rebelling against the "service of light", and were condemned to wander.] It was the last round of this war between Light and Dark that ended the Atlantean Age and forced the Hierarchy, champions of the White Lodge, to withdraw into space and leave earth in the hands of the inexplicably victorious Black Lodge. While great detail is devoted to the White Lodge, much information on the Black Lodge leaders is withheld: "They are not the problems of humanity but of the Hierarchy". (_Externalisation_, p.74) The goals of these other "Masters", Bailey writes, "are as inscrutable to you as are the plans of the Ruler of Shamballa [Sanat Kumara]." (p.76) [This places the Spirit(s) opposing the New Age at the same evolutionary level of the Logos, if not higher. Thus we are faced with a NA admission that it is possible for highly evolved beings to be evil - in spite of Blavatsky's statement that those who exist beyond the physical plane are perfected beings, united with "the whole shining host." (Blavatsky, _Isis Unveiled_ II, p.159) In light of such a situation, why should we accept that the Hierarchy is good simply because they exist at a higher plane?] Although the Black Lodge remains nameless, their activities are described: "The Forces of Darkness are powerful energies, working to preserve that which is ancient and material.... They consequently block deliberately the inflow of that which is new and life-giving; they work to prevent the understanding of that which is of the New Age; they endeavor to preserve that which is familiar and old... to bring blindness to the peoples and to feed steadily the existing fires of hate, of separateness, of criticism and of cruelty." (_Externalisation_ II, p.75) [How interesting that in a war waged in the name of freedom of thought, "criticism" must be considered every bit as evil as "hate". Also interesting is the fact that "familiar and old" disqualifies Judaism, but not Theosophy or the "Ageless Wisdom".] The only ways NA disciples can fight the Forces of Darkness are to refuse to entertain any thoughts which their agents promote, to faithfully recite the Great Invocation, and to try to make contact with "the forces of Shamballa or of the Hierarchy." (p.73, 76) Meanwhile, "the forces of separateness and of hate... use the Jewish race to stir up world difficulty." (p.77) [Just how these tools of Darkness stir up trouble is detailed in the Views on Jews.] It is only when "the mind aspect (the third [Lucifer] aspect of the personality) is more fully developed, then the focus of the effort of the Dark Forces will change and the problem of the Jews will disappear." (p.88) [Elsewhere, Bailey makes it clear that for the "problem of the Jews" to disappear, the Jews themselves have to disappear.] This concludes Segment C.
