The Rainbow Swastika - New Age Missionizing Among Jews Page 13 of 15 ("Special Ed") Steiner opposed interracial marriage, since "mixing of blood causes the force of clear vision to die" in the higher species of humanity. (translated from German by Swedish researcher Fredrik Bendz, unreferenced) Waldorf schools are coming under attack in the U.S., Holland and Germany for their racist and occultic orientation, as well as for deception concerning their religious nature. (See "Are Waldorf Schools 'Non-Sectarian'?", _Free Inquiry_, Spring 1994) Waldorf schools are also haunted by more than a little superstition: modern technology is so evil that pupils may not visit science museums, and computers are an "incarnation of the evil spirit Ahriman". (David B. Black, _The Computer and the Incarnation of Ahriman_, p.35) This evil deity has its origins in Zoroastrianism, an esoteric religion dating from the 6th c. BCE which is enjoying a comeback in NA circles. [One could make a case for Steiner adopting more than just Ahriman from that ancient Persian religion; Zoroaster was also decidedly hostile to the G-d of the Torah - see the Nazism section for details, and for the common ground between Theosophy and Nazism.] Concerning the Jewish people in particular, Anthroposophists in Germany quote Steiner in singling out the Jews as the group most clearly demonstrating the undesirable "Gruppenseelenhafte" or "Group Soul Qualities" (Steiner disciple Irene Diet in _Das Goetheanum_, Nr.20, May 17, 1998) A broadcast by the German news program "Report Mainz" (Feb. 28, 2000) revealed that antisemitic and racist teachings are widely promoted in today's Waldorf schools, to which the President of the Zentralrat (Central Council of Jews in Germany), Paul Spiegel, replied: "I have been receiving [such reports] for the past one and a half years," and added that until now parents were afraid to identify themselves. The information which left Spiegel "shocked" is currently being documented. ("Wortwechsel", Germany's Swedwestfernsehen, Mar. 19, 2000) A Waldorf school in Jerusalem also got some bad press when it briefly came under attack a few years ago. But judging from media reports, the only issue investigated was whether it was a Christian mission, after which it was "cleared" to carry on its activities without interference. A Waldorf kindergarten in Jerusalem, "Gan HaShemesh", also received mixed reviews in a _Jerusalem Post_ article on parenting (June 16, 1999), mainly for its "stress on the magical" and its diet of violent fairy tales, but no mention was made of the international controversy raging over the Waldorf curriculum. 6f. Kibbutz Harduf: near Shfaram. Another brainchild of Steiner was "biodynamic farming" (not to be confused with ecological techniques), which resembles farming methods of Findhorn, the famous New Age mecca in northern Scotland. For biodynamic farmers, the earth is an organism which breathes twice a day and has a spiritually alive soil. To nurture it, different homeopathic concoctions are applied to transfer the "astral forces" of the ingredients to the crops. Or, if something more potent is preferred, Steiner advises old-fashioned witchcraft: "You catch a fairly young field mouse and flay it... We take the skin, when Venus stands in the sign of Scorpio, and burn the skin... Now take the ash which results and sprinkle it out on the fields." (translated by Bendz) Israel is one of the few countries which hosts a community completely run by Steiner's philosophies. Kibbutz Harduf, producer of health foods and host to Steiner seminars, has been a member of the United Kibbutz Movement since 1985. Members embrace Steiner's teachings without reservation, and see themselves as offering "a better alternative to the hazara b'teshuva [return to Torah Judaism] movement." (_Jerusalem Post_, Aug. 1, 1986) Accordingly, their vegetarian restaurant does double-duty, generating income and serving as a front to "to spread the word" of Steiner's gospel. The _Jerusalem Post Magazine_ gave two positive (if perplexed) critiques of Harduf ("Community of Spirit", Aug. 1, 1986; "In Steiner's Footsteps", Nov. 19, 1999). Anthroposophy was presented as a legitimate alternate Jewish lifestyle, referring to Steiner's teaching with a superficial rosiness that gave no real information. 6g. Scientology: Tel Aviv. One of Steiner's early occultic colleagues, L. Ron Hubbard, started his own cult of "dianetics", which teaches that all human misery was caused by the space-tyrant Xenu, who transported people to Earth 75 million years ago, dropped them into volcanoes and exploded hydrogen bombs on them. Hubbard identified himself as the new Maitreya (competing with Theosophy's choice at that time, Krishnamurti), chosen by the "ascended masters" to bring mankind the solution. [For a full treatment, see "Pseudo-Buddhism in the Form of Scientology", Dialog Center International, Denmark.] This spiritual solution (which can set you back as much as $50,000 a year) developed into the "Church" of Scientology, now a multi-million-dollar global enterprise known for ruthless exploitation and intimidation, especially by lawsuit. The Church's "fair game law" targets any critics who becomes a threat as fair game, at which point every method, legal or otherwise, is used to destroy them. _Time Magazine_ labeled Scientology "the cult of greed," and Cynthia Kisser, former Director of the Cult Awareness Network (CAN), called it "the most ruthless, the most classically terroristic... lucrative cult the country [U.S.] has ever seen." Kisser should know; she experienced their tactics first-hand when Scientology, through a string of bogus but financially draining lawsuits, forced CAN into bankruptcy in 1996 -- and then in late 1997 bought the organization (rights to the name, logo, and case files, including those against Scientology!). All CAN staff have been replaced with Scientology church members. (For the whole story, see the transcript of the "60 Minutes" production with Leslie Stahl, Dec.28, 1997) [It is not known how this affects the CAN office which is said to be located in Israel. I have not been able to locate them.] Reactions outside the U.S. to Scientology? The Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia, after hearing evidence against this group, had strong words: "Scientology is evil; its techniques are evil; its practice is a serious threat to the community, medically, morally and socially." (Justice Anderson) Germany's courts are currently examining several charges against Scientology involving human rights abuse and anti-democratic activities (and Germany is also suffering from the church's "fair game law" - in a well-funded publicity blitz, Scientology has likened the government's investigation to Hitler's persecution of the Jews). Some societies will never need to react to Hubbard's mega-church, like black Africa and China, due to his opinion that Zulus belong in a "madhouse," and that "the trouble with China is, there are too many Chinks there," and similar assessments on India, South Africa, Arabs, American blacks, and "yellow and brown people" in general. What about Israel? Scientology is alive and well, free to run its "College of Dianetics" at 12 Shonzino St., Tel Aviv. Scientologists regularly accost people in Israel's business district with literature in several languages, pressuring them to take their "personality test," the first step to draw seekers into the long, expensive process of "recovering" from the ancient cosmic disaster. 6h. Transcendental Meditation: Hararit, central Galilee. The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of TM, is a charismatic guru who manages to convince initiates that he promotes a non-religious "technique", despite the fact that the mantras are names of Hindu deities and the puja (initiation ceremony) is a hymn to at least 20 Hindu gods. [See "The Steps of Initiation into Transcendental Meditation", a transcription of the standard puja, the exact wording of which must be perfectly memorized by TM teachers. Then go to to the line, "Teacher performs puja" and check out the translation provided to see the list of deities.] In 1977, U.S. courts finally caught on and ruled that TM was a religion, which removed from it the legal right to be taught in public http://philologos.org/__eb-trs/naI.htm 2/26/2012
The Rainbow Swastika - New Age Missionizing Among Jews Page 14 of 15 schools there. Germany's High Court in 1989 ruled that TM is neither religion nor science, but a destructive cult. In India, the Maharishi's huge NOIDA ashram was plagued by scandal when workers went on a 3-month strike, protesting malnutrition, unsanitary conditions and neglect which resulted in the deaths of several ashram children. The TM leader resolved that unpleasantness by closing the ashram for "a vacation", firing or transferring all 200 teachers, and turning the children loose to find their way home across India (some of whom never made it). [See thetestimony of Indian physician Govind Sharma.] The Maharishi's "technique" nevertheless continues to generate millions of dollars for his organization, with Israelis being the largest national group among his trainees. Journalist Esther Hecht notes that the Israeli TM disciples, including educated professional people, treat their guru much the same as Habad devotees treat their Rebbe Shneerson: having his picture in every room and on every publication, and invoking his name repeatedly in everyday conversation. ("Peace of Mind", _Jerusalem Post_, Jan.23, 1998. Also source of other details in this paragraph.) As of 1997, "His Holiness" had hoped to exit Holland (which was pressuring him to take his "dangerous activity" elsewhere) and relocate personally to Israel, setting up court at his pilot TM village of Hararit. To date he has not done so [perhaps the Interior Ministry is being stubborn about proof of Jewishness...] At that time Hararit had a long-term plan to also absorb 7000 sidhis (advanced meditators) to effect cosmic changes and help usher in the "dawn of the Age of Enlightenment". This plan was blocked by the Israeli watchdog group, "Forum Against Cults". However, the TMers did manage to form a new kibbutz, "Yahad", and an Ayurveda (TM-based medical) clinic. 6i. The Kabbalah Centre: Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv. Philip Berg's black-kippahed, fast-talking salesmen make the rounds door to door on a regular basis, trying to sell the Zohar to religious and secular, Jews and non-Jews, housewives and teens, promising instant spiritual profit (and collecting healthy profits of the more worldly kind). [See the main entry above for more details.] As is clear in this handful of examples, NA missionaries to the Israelis are equally comfortable in Eastern garb, Western business suits, or kippah and tsitsit. The fact that they have found easy entry into Israeli society, in spite of other countries rejecting them, indicates either high sophistication on their part or astonishing naivete on the part of Israel (or both). [But what their success really shows is the persistent spiritual hunger among Israelis, who are grabbing at every new spiritual fad that drifts by, one after another. Why do they fall for them - manipulative mystical con games, deceptions that promise enhanced Jewishness while systematically destroying every reason for being Jewish? That which sustained the Jewish people for thousands of years, and has seen us through every attempt to erase us, is still available. But many Israelis - out of disappointment, anger, or ignorance - have given up on Torah and gone on a restless search for a substitute for Jewish faith in the Jewish G-d. Yet the reason they keep switching "spiritual paths" is that they will never really be satisfied with anything less than that for which they were created. This constitutes both a challenge and a hope for our future.] 6j. Israeli Media and Entertainment None of this takes into account the daily indoctrination coming through the myriad "healers" and channelers offering peace and enlightenment on the streets of Israel, who receive mostly positive publicity in local papers. And we have yet to mention the governmentsponsored Israeli TV, especially children's entertainment. A casual sampling of Israel's "educational network" will show a steady diet of heroes who rely on psychic powers, alien helpers, personal transformations (symbolized in physical changes) and even actual pagan deities. From "Digimon" to Disney, from "X-Men" to "X-Files", in 10-minute cartoons and full feature movies, in fantasy plots and real life plots, NA religion is being aimed at Israeli children aged 1 to 18. These programs are usually dubbed in Hebrew, and appear most often during the hours when working parents are away from the home. The same thing can be said for the movie and home video offerings, after-school activities, computer games and bestselling Hebrew books, and even acquisitions at the public library. [Imagine the predictable Israeli reaction if Christian missionaries were to target Jewish children using any one of these methods, and we see how well NA has done its work - Israeli kids sit in front of the TV cheering for spirit-guide heroes, devour library books full of pagan mythology in Hebrew, or trot off to yoga classes where they bow to Indian deities, and no one notices.] 7. The Goal of Converting the Jews to NA Thinking All these tremendous efforts to bring both secular and traditional Jews, diaspora and Israeli Jews alike, over to NA doctrine have but one goal, judging by NA sources. It is not in order to "liberate" Jews from their identity so as to receive them into the spiritual family of Man [although that would be bad enough]. As we have seen, the Jews as a group are flatly considered unsuitable material for the New Age. The goal of converting Jews is to make them voluntarily accept the "cleansing action" which is to remove them from this "physical plane of existence". [See the end result of "right human relations" in the "Views on Jews" section.] In accordance with Alice Bailey's analysis on the Holocaust, other NA spokesmen continue to preach that the Jews always bring on their own suffering. In other contexts (such as Christian denunciation of the 'Christ-killers') this is highly offensive to any Jew. But after accepting the twin NA concepts of reincarnation and some form of "karma" [such as "tikkun", a Kabbalistic doctrine which only differs from standard karma in teaching that G-d rather than a cosmic force sends a Jew into multiple lives to repair mistakes or cosmic imbalance], it will begin to sound logical that if Jews are being repeatedly singled out for suffering and untimely death, they as a group must indeed owe some collective karmic debt. The NAers are confident that Jews who accept the karmic view of suffering will also accept the karmic requirement of passive submission to whatever befalls themselves and their loved ones - especially if appropriate spirits of their "luminaries" [the ranking system for advanced practitioners of Kabbalah, corresponding to the NA ranking of their "Iluminati" or "enlightened ones"] appear to them with promises of a favorable future life as a reward for voluntary submission. Such visitations will be credited by NA teachers to the activity of Maitreya - his merciful contribution to help ease the passage of the Jewish race from this dimension. 7a. A NA-Manufactured Messiah For those who cling tightly to Torah-from-Sinai Judaism, even "Messiah" is scheduled to appear, to command them to obey Maitreya whom he also serves. Leading occultist Peter LeMesurier, in his book _The Armaggedon Script_, outlines the "script" for a simulated arrival of the Jewish Messiah (p.231-233) tailored for Jewish acceptance. He is to arrive in Israel incognito, and devote himself to studying everything expected of the Messiah: Tenach prophecies, Dead Sea Scrolls, current Jewish expectations, prophecies from other religions. He must then harness the science of earthquake prediction to show up on the Mount of Olives during an earthquake. He will proceed to Jerusalem from the east, accompanied by a procession in shining white, enter the tomb of King David, and come out miraculously dressed in perfumed royal robes, as David reincarnated. His ascension to the Temple Mount to be crowned King of Israel will be a matter of course, given his popular support. What about resistance from suspicious Jews and/or Christians? "The massed forces of the Old Age, however, will be unable to check their headlong onrush. In large measure they will go on to destroy each other in a massive, mutual venting of long pent-up aggression." (p.237) [This confident assumption shows awareness of the NA plan to keep Jews and Christians mistrustful of each other. Or perhaps it refers to the ongoing conflict between Jews and Moslems, which more accurately displays a seemingly unstoppable "aggression"; that rift also serves the Plan.] Meanwhile, this messiah will go on to lead the "youth of the world" in "spreading the already developing ideas http://philologos.org/__eb-trs/naI.htm 2/26/2012
