"From the point of Light within the Mind of God;
Let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on
Earth.... The purpose which the Masters know and serve.... Let Light and
Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth."
Used as the invocation at the Earth Summit in Rio de
Janeiro during 1992, the above creed is part of the Great Invocation based
in Theosophy. The source of light in the Great Invocation is Lucifer and
the Plan is designed to implement world government and religion grounded
in occult powers. This goal is at the heart of the global agenda.
Theosophy is a blend of eastern and western religions,
most closely aligned with Vedic Hinduism. Although the Theosophical
Society originally started in New York in the 1800s, it was not until
Alice Bailey broke away from the Society in the early 1900s and created
Lucifer Trust, that it gained power in America.
Lucifer Trust was quickly changed to Lucis Trust and
today its work is carried out through its occult Arcane School and World
Goodwill. Together, they implement what is termed "The Plan,"
which is revealed in 24 occult books written by Bailey. The concepts of
"New Age" and the "New World Order" had their origins
in these books.
Bailey claims Djwhal Khul, her Ascended Master,
actually wrote the books through her while she was in a trance using
occult automatic writing. Ascended Masters are supposedly superhuman
beings who are part of an exalted hierarchy of demigods that secretly
guide the affairs of humanity.
Although virtually unknown, Lucis Trust wields
tremendous importance. Notables such as Robert McNamara, Donald Regan,
Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Paul Volker, George Shultz and Jimmy
Carter have supported its activities. It has consultative accreditation
within the UN and has played a key role in helping to shape "the New
World Order." Steve Bonta notes in the March 1, 1999 New American
magazine, that Theosophy,
"enjoys the attention of the world’s power
elite at the United Nations, the World Bank, and other centers of
political and financial power in the United States. Its influence is
felt [throughout]... our nation’s popular culture."
Like cancer, The Plan is insidiously spreading through
thousands of organizations, many of which have no idea what they are
advancing. One of the most prominent vectors of The Plan is the Episcopal
Cathedral Church of St. John Divine in New York City, considered by many
Christian leaders to be the new age Mecca in the U.S. Frequented by
Vice President Gore, the Cathedral annually hosts the "Feast of Saint
Francis" where the "resident Omega and Forces of Nature dance
troupes perform the dazzling Earth Mass/Missa Gaia" and the clergy
bless "a myriad of creatures," from elephants and algae, to a
3.5 billion year old Australian fossil.
The Cathedral has historically housed several radical
new age groups, one of which is the Temple of Understanding. The Temple,
whose interfaith purpose is the "re-integration of the sacred into
our lives" via "the world’s religious traditions" through
"universal spiritual wisdom," collaborated with the UN’s
Global Forum of Spiritual and Parliamentary Leaders for Human Survival to
cofound the National Religious Partnership on the Environment in 1992.
The Partnership, also housed in the Cathedral of St.
John Divine, is billed as a "federation of major American faith
communities." This non-alarming sanitized description hides the fact
that Paul Gorman, the Partnership’s Executive Director, was former Vice
President of public affairs of the Cathedral of the Saint John Divine, and
Director of the Temple of Understanding’s Joint Appeal. Gorman’s new
age emphasis is revealed in the purpose of the Partnership,
"...how people of faith engage the environmental
crisis will have much to do with the future well-being of the planet,
and in all likelihood, with the future of religious life as well."
With the help of Vice President Gore’s endorsement,
the Partnership has sent environmental literature to over 67,000
congregations and 100 million congregants calling for the Church to make
the protection of the earth a central message of the Church. Although
written in "bibleze," it nonetheless represents a deceptive
attempt to create guilt thereby shifting the focus of the Church from the
gospel of Christ to one of protecting Mother Earth.
Not only are the Catholic Church and mainline
denominations involved in the Partnership’s interfaith pantheistic
agenda, but evangelicals like World Vision, the Southern Baptist
Convention, Intervarsity and others are also entangled in its web of
deception in varying capacities.
Church leaders are fair game for this kind of deception
because they believe we are destroying the earth. Like most Americans,
distorted reports of environmental destruction are the only thing they
have heard. While thinking the Church still worships the God of creation,
its leadership and members are promoting laws that make earth—not God—the
central organizing principle of our society.
The Church must always remember the difference between being in the
world and of the world. Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be
ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?" The Church must promote Biblical stewardship, but only
in the context of the Gospel, not the nature-based laws advocated by the
Partnership. V
