New Age Movement- Signs of The Times
Compiled By Glen W. Champion
May 1996
There are a number of end time prophecies including the rise of the Anti-Christ including the following:
"…and man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped , so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God…
And then shall that wicked [one] be revealed. . . whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrightousness "(2 Thessalonians 2:3,4,8-12)
"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast saying who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies…
And it was given unto him [Antichrist] to make war
with the saints and to overcome them: and power was given him
over all kindreds and tongues and nations… and he [the
false prophet] had power to . . . cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed . . . and
that no man might buy or sell, save [except] he that had the mark
or the name of the beast, or the number of the beast. Here is
wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six (666) (Revelation 13:4-7,15-18).
"If any man worship the beast and his image,
and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall
be tormented with fire and brimstone in [hell] ". . . (Revelation
14:9,10).

reflections of the Divine
by the Master - -, through Benjamin Creme
"There will soon appear before the world a man of unique stature and achievement, one whose qualities of love and wisdom are apparent to all who meet Him. Waiting for the hour of greatest opportunity, Maitreya counts the days when, within the Law, He can most readily acquaint mankind with His presence and mission. Soon, around the globe, the news will travel that the Son of Man has returned, that the Way-shower is here, that the eldest of men's brothers has indeed kept His promise and emerges forthwith. That blessed day approaches fast and naught can halt its progress."
Inward message
"When, as all will, men hear the inward message of the Christ, theirs will be the task to realize that from that day forth naught will be the same. Never again can the old injustices hold sway. Never, with impunity, can nation set itself on nation. Never more can the old fears govern and rob man of his birthright of peace.
Many will find themselves opposed to that for which Maitreya calls: justice, sharing and freedom for all. Many will see in such radical reform an end to their privilege and power. So, indeed, will it be, but the iniquities of the past must perish with the past-the future holds for all men greater joy in right relationship.
May it be that when you hear the call for a new start you will find yourself in the vanguard of those who stand for change, happy to lower your demands on life that others, too, might live. Only thus can the world be redeemed and fumed again in the direction of the Plan.
None should fear a total disruption of life in the immediate time ahead: minimum, indeed, will that disruption be as the needed changes transform the existing order step by careful step. Never has the need for change been so urgent and so apparent. Never, before, has man sensed the danger of inaction, and stood, as now, ready to open his heart to the plight of his brothers and the future of his planet. "
Undaunted
"Maitreya, too, stands ready to lead the way
into the future. He knows well the enormous tasks which lie ahead
but, undaunted, trusts in man to fulfill his role. He knows that
His leadership and guidance will release the best that humanity
has to give, and, nurturing that aspiration, will awaken the divine
nature which is the birthright of all men. Thus will it be. Thus
will the Great Lord, the Teacher and Redeemer of men, begin His
mission. Thus, too, will humanity know peace and justice, freedom
and love and come to see themselves as reflections of the Divine."

"Recent information on appearances by Maitreya, the World Teacher, and His creation of healing water sources follows.
Maitreya's appearance in Italy on 7 January took place in Rome...
On 14 January Maitreya appeared before 400-500 Muslims in Ankara, Turkey, where He spoke for 18 minutes. Water was charged in the area.
On 28 January Maitreya appeared to 200-300 Christians (Mormons) in the Western USA. He spoke for 17 minutes to a "cautious but interested" reaclion. Water was charged in the area.
On 4 February Maitreya appeared to about 300 Christians in Slovenia (part of former Yugoslavia), speaking for about 17 minutes. "Reasonably positive." Water was charged in the area.
-----------
Q. Have you any information on how soon Maitreya will appear on television?
A. In the middle of last year my Master wrote that the world would see Him "forthwith" which, He said, could he anything up to about a year.
Early on Tuesday morning on 30 January this year (1996), Maitreya took the rare step of contacting me personally, saying: "Soon the world will see My face. Soon the open work will begin." I take this unusual mode to mean that His first appearance is really "imminent".
[By Benjamin Creme, Share International, March 1996]
All will Be Well
"Soon, the whole world will rejoice. Very soon, the face of Him for Whom all men wait will show itself before the world. Very soon, now, the world will know that the Teacher is indeed among men, ready to inaugurate the age of peace.
Clearly, the responses of men will differ widely but one thing is certain He cannot be ignored. So potent is He, so pertinent are His ideas for the future of the race, that men everywhere will clamor for elucidation and further knowledge of His plans and purpose. Thus, the Great Lord will reveal Himself to men and answer their pleas.
triumph
Fortunately, naught can prevent the triumph of His cause, for His cause and the needs of men are one. When men see this, they will rally to His side and demand the changes which He advocates. Thus will be created a spearhead armed with Truth, directed to the decaying heart of the old dispensation. Many will see in Him the Saviour of Old; others will recognize in Him the Exponent of the New. Whatever their stance, men will raise aloft His Banner: Truth and Brotherhood; Justice and Peace.
From simple beginnings, there will arise a flood whose urgency for change will soon engulf the world. Thus shall it be. Thus will the Son of Man return to His people and thus will He renew the lives of men.
Prepare to see the Lord of Love. Prepare to work at His side. Be ready to work with His Brotherhood, for They -the Masters-enter likewise the lives of men. Soon men will know that they are not alone; that the path to the future is encased in burnished stone, hallowed by the feet of Those Who have gone before and know well the way.
Near, very near, is the time of His open appearance. Never, never before, has such a time prevailed. Take heart and know that all will be well, all manner of things will be well.
[From Share International, March 1996. Note: The Master-, is a senior member of the Hierarchy of Masters of Wisdom. His name, well-known in esoteric circles, is not yet being revealed for various reasons. Benjamin Creme is in constant telepathic contact with this Master Who dictates His articles to him.]

THE EMERGENCE OF THE WORLD TEACHER-IN BRIEF
"All the great religions posit the idea of a further revelation to be given by a future Teacher. Christians hope for the return of the Christ, the Buddhists look for the coming of another Buddha (the Lord Maitreya), while Muslims await the Imam Mahdi, the Hindus a reincarnation of Krishna. and the Jews the Messiah.
Students of the esoteric tradition know all these as different names for the same individual-the Lord Maitreya, the World Teacher, the head of the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters, and they look for His imminent return now.
In July 1977, Maitreya emerged from His centre in
the Himalayas, when least expected, '1ike a thief in the night".
Since then, He has lived in London as an ordinary man concerned
with modern problems-political, economic and socia1. Since March
1978, He has been emerging as a spokesman in the Pakistani-Indian
community. He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the
broadest sense-pointing the way out of the present world crisis.
According to esoteric teaching, Maitreya manifested Himself 2,000
years ago in Palestine by overshadowing His disciple Jesus-now
the Master Jesus. This time Maitreya has come Himself."
Maitreya's spiritual teaching.
" Maitreya does not intend to build a new religion around Himself, nor to create followers, but to teach humanity "the art of Self-realization". The first steps are "honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit and detachment."
"Maltreya's social concern is reflected in His list of priorities: an adequate supply of the right food, adequate housing and shelter for all, healthcare and education as a universal right. His social message can be summarized in a few words: "Share and save the world." Maitreya knows we will accept His advice and that we are on the threshold of an era of peace and goodwill."
"Since late 1991, Maitreya is carrying out a series of appearances like the one in Nairobi, Kenya. There, on 11 June 1988, He appeared miraculously, "out of the blue", at an open-air prayer/ healing meeting. He was photographed addressing (in their own language) thousands of people who instantly recognized Him as the Christ. Similar events have now been witnessed by large numbers in different countries. In this way, more and more people receive proof of His presence and, hopefully, in due course will demand media response. Maitreya expects this approach to lead to the Day of Declaration, when He will leave no doubt that He is the World Teacher. Maitreya will mentally 'overshadow' all of humanity simultaneously. Each of us will hear His words inwardly, telepathically, in our own language, and all will know that the World Teacher is now among us"
"The information about Maitreya's emergence
has been presented to the public since 1974 by Benjamin Creme,
chief editor of the magazine Share International. His training
for this work, under a Master of Wisdom, began in 1959. "
1982, 14 May: Creme reveals during a press conference in Los Angeles that Maitreya lives in the Asian community in London, and challenges the media to invite Maitreya to come forward. Unfortunately, the media do not react.
1985,31 July: Twenty-two journalists representing the media of East and West gather in the East End of London, hoping for contact with Maitreya or His representative.
1987, August: Berjamin Creme announces: "In the coming three or four months, Maitreya will be working intensively to bring about a breakthrough in international relationships in the world." Less than a month later the breakthrough comes, in the political meetings between the Americana end the Soviets, followed by the armaments agreement in December that no one had thought possible.
1988: Maitreya appears, both in person and in dreams, to well known leaders in various countries, and to many ordinary citizens. World detente and the release of tension which ensues allows more open signs of His presence. Manifestations of crosses of light are reported in the US media and are seen by many thousands.
1991/1994: Maitreya appears miraculously before large groups of people all over the world. In Tlacote (Mexico), Nordenau (Germany) and Nadana (India) healing wells charged by Maitreya attract growing numbers of visitors.
Since April 1988, through one of Maitreya's closest associates in the Asian community of-London, Share International has received a series of articles. These outline Maitreya's teachings and draw attention to developments and happenings which He expects to take place in the world, both in the short and the long term.

Q. Why, if Maitreya appears before 600 or even more
people at a meeting of a religious group in Britain -- as in Edinburgh
and York -- do we see nothing about it in the media?
A. The people before whom He appears are in every case fundamentalists of one persuasion or another. Denominationally they vary tremendously but the consistent factor is that they are all extremely dogmatic in their beliefs. Maitreya appears to them to soften them up. These are the groups from whom, throughout the world, He expects the major opposition and rejection. If He appears as The World Teacher and they are expecting the Teacher in their own terms -- as the Christ, Maitreya Buddha, Krishna, the Imam Mahdi, the Messiah -- with their very fixed views, they would be inclined to reject Him.
The most important thing is the creation of the healing waters, which is done first. When Maitreya has magnetized the waters, in due course -- it might take a few weeks -- He finds a group of fundamentalists in a town nearby and appears before them. He speaks to them in their own language and many healings take place during the process. He does not say: "I am Maitreya" "I am the Christ" or "I am the Imam Mahdi", He just appears, out of the blue, but in a form which they will recognize -- as He did in Nairobi in Kenya, on 11 June 1988, an appearance of which we have photographs.
Maitreya leaves it to the groups, in the thoughtform in which He has appeared to them, to recognize Him or not. Some of them will say: "Beware, it could be the Antichrist: before the Christ comes, the Antichrist is coming." That is why they do not speak out and, if they do not speak, the media does not speak. Occasionally at these meetings there have been representatives of religious newspapers who do not write about it. Why not? I think they do not know what to do with this information: it is too hot. Either they believe it is the Christ or they believe it is the Antichrist; or they are mystified because He has not said who He is. Perhaps 80 per cent of the people believe they had an experience of the Christ, or the Mahdi, or the Messiah -- whomever it happened to be -- and they are perfectly content to accept that and just wait for something more to happen in connection with it. That must do something to their awareness, even if they do not talk about it except among themselves. When eventually they see Maitreya on television they will say: "That's the one who appeared to us -- perhaps he is all right after all; perhaps he is not the Antichrist."
The appearance in Nairobi was reported and photographed because the editor of the Swahili edition of the KENYA TIMES was present and wrote it up. It was picked up by various media and was a two-day wonder around the world. The media in general, as ordinary men and women, are deeply, profoundly skeptical, and professionally, not only skeptical, but cynical in the extreme.

"Q. Have you a view on the current measures to barcode all goods and all people in the world in anticipation of a cashless society ?
A. Instinctively, I do not like the idea of barcoding
individuals-you can barcode goods if you like-but you will find
that a new United Nations agency will be set up (under the guidance
of either a Master or at least a 3rd-degree initiate) which will
oversee the redistribution of resources. Whether that would involve
barcoding or not is up to us, but as far as I understand it, that
is not the method which has been adopted in the various blueprints
already formulated."
Transmission Groups
"Inspired by Benjamin Creme's work, hundreds
of Transmission Meditation groups have been established world-wide
over recent years. These groups transmit spiritual energies directed
through them by the Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy. The prime
motive of this work is service but it constitutes a powerful mode
of personal growth. "
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A tall man dressed in white
Dear Editors,
"Many events drew me into the knowledge of the Spiritual Hierarchy and the teachings of the Masters, especially from 1986 onward. I was drawn to books, groups, teachings, conferences, etc. This information was so inspiring that I began adding it to the classes I taught for the Board of Continuing Education System in Fairport, New York. One evening in October, 1990, I was teaching the students an exercise in meditation. Suddenly l saw a tall man dressed in white standing off to the right of my desk. He did not say anything but appeared to be pleased that the students were learning about the Spiritual Hierarchy and doing this meditation. At the end of the meditation, I asked the students, as always, if they would like to share what they had experienced. By this time. the tall stranger was gone but there were two students who saw him at the same time I did during the meditation. We knew the stranger was from the Spiritual Hierarchy and determined that He was Maitreya."
Mary Gemming, Florida, USA (Editor's note: Benjamin
Creme's Master confirms that "the tall stranger" was,
indeed, Maitreva. )
The vanishing hitchhiker
Dear Editors,
"A friend of mine called me during the middle of January 1994 to relate the following experience:
"A Dominican lady who resides in Queens. NY. and works in Long Island, was returning home from work about 5 p.m. The weather in New York had been extremely cold with icy conditions. She saw a man on the highway asking for a ride. She continued without paying attention to him, but suddenly "something" was urging her to return and pick up this man. After passing two exits she was compelled to return, which she couldn't understand because she was alone and had never picked up anyone before. When she got to the area the man was still there. He got in and sat in the back of her car. The details of the conversation were not related to me, but among what he said, he mentioned that the Christ was in the world. When the lady looked back, the man had vanished. She panicked and stopped at the hard shoulder. The police came and asked what had happened and when she related the story they told her she was the fourth person to relate the same."
I do hope that you may be able to find out from your Master if this man was Lord Maitreya.
Edith Falk.
(Benjamin Creme's Master has confirmed that the
'hitchhiker' was Maitreya. )
"The Bridegroom cometh"
Dear Editors,
"It's bigger rhan he thinks it is ! ' This was the phrase that entered my mind as I was thinking of Mr Creme's information on the Emergence of Maitreya and His Team of Masters of Wisdom.
May I say that I had that feeling quite strongly on the early morning of the full moon of Palm Sunday, 27.3.1994. It was the feeling that there was a great "unknown factor" connected with the Emergence that even Mr Creme was not yet aware of. The preceding day I was reading the new message from the Lord Maitreya which He gave to five members of the Anglican Church of St John the Baptist in Glastonbury [England] on the celebration of the feast of Pentecost 1993. I think that this Message is indeed very important. There is magic in it.
Significantly, Maitreya says: "I am coming to you`"-like a bridegroom. It is also very significant, in my view, that this took place at Glastonbury-the alleged site of the Holy Grail-the cup that symbolizes the New Age. Also the church was that of St John the Baptist-the great way-preparer -the "B.C." of the time.
Let us then, like the five wise virgins of the New Testament, keep our "lamps filled with oil" and go out to Him. Rejoice!-for the bridegroom cometh. "

"The 'Masters' intervene in human affairs by overshadowing individuals, [possession of] according to Leach, and such 'overshadowings' have been common in mankind's past.
. Every issue of Share international includes a message from 'The Master,' who is identified as "a senior member of the Hierarchy of the Masters of Wisdom.... 'The Master' issues edicts to the world regarding spiritual affairs. According to 'The Master', Very soon now, a most unusual event will allow the world to know that the Masters do, indeed exist.... That revelation will impose a stark choice on mankind, as this somewhat ominous passage suggests: When men see Maitreya, they will know that the time has come to choose: to go forward with Him into a future dazzling in its promise-or to cease to be."
New Age researcher Texe Marrs
Upon examining the powerful forces of the New Age Movement, has this to say concerning "their evil objectives" in his book titled Dark Secrets of The New Age.
"What I discovered staggers the imagination. The New Age Movement has undeniably taken on the definite form of a religion, complete with an agreed-upon body of doctrine, printed scripture, a pattern of worship and ritual, a functioning group of ministers and lay leaders, and an effective outreach program carried out by an active core proselytizing believers. Furthermore, because of its astonishing success in attracting new followers, the New Age Church now has a large and growing membership worldwide. Its avowed aim, however, is to become the only world religion."...
"New Age leaders know that only if they are able to undermine credibility in the Bible, discredit Jesus Christ, and weaken the example of Christian churches can they succeed in their ultimate objective: the ascension to power of a New Age Messiah (the Antichrist) and the establishment of a one world order. At the pinnacle of this one world order will bc the religious system described in Revelation 17: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH"
"The New Age is a universal, open-arms religion that excludes from its ranks only those who believe in Jesus Christ and a personal God. Buddhists, Shintoists, Satanists, Secular Humanists, witches, witch doctors, and shamans-all who reject Christianity are invited to become trusted members of the New Age family. Worshippers of separate faiths and denominations are to be unified in a common purpose: the glorification of man....
The New Age doctrine combines the worst of modern psychology, so called 'progressive education,' medicine, science, and economics in a dangerous and new formulation perfectly compatible with the abominations of paganism and occultism. New Age professionals claim that this is a 'High Religion' more attuned to the needs of 'thinking' people than Christianity which they deem outmoded and unsophisticated . . .
The essence of New Age religious doctrine is that man is neither sinful nor evil, and that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was meaningless and futile . . .
Predictably, a religious philosophy that deifies man and is totally void of absolute moral restraints is extremely attractive to those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. In a world rampant with sin and unethical conduct, a world devoid of the agape love that is in Jesus Christ, the New Age sadly has become a narcissistic religion that readily finds converts."
"witchcraft is also a growing movement among New Agers, who claim that witchcraft is a legitimate religion which has strong similarities to the Eastern religions."
". . . You'll be amazed. We are literally deluged
with Satanic symbols-with pentagrams, triangles, rainbows, perverted
crosses, pyramids, and more. The images are usually presented
to us either in a subtle, indirect way or up front in a positive
manner. Rarely are we given the impression that there is anything
wrong with these images."
THE NEW WORLD RELIGION
In his book Dark Secrets of the New Age, Texe Marrs outlines the
thirteen-point Master Plan, referred to as "The Plan," which Satan has concocted in order to bring this prophesied anti-god religious system of world domination into reality in the last days;
Point #1
"The principle aim of The Plan is to establish a One World, New Age Religion and a one world political and serial order."
Point #2
"The New Age World Religion will be a revival of the idolatrous religion of ancient Babylon in which mystery cults, sorcery and occultism, and immorality flourished."
Point #3
"The Plan is to come to fullness when the New Age Messiah the Antichrist with the number 666, comes in the flesh to lead the unified New Age World Religion and oversee the new one world order."
Point #4
"Spirit guides (demons) will help man inaugurate the New Age and will pave the way for the Antichrist, the New Age mangod, to be acclaimed by humanity as the Great World Teacher.
Point #5
"World Peace," "Love!" and "Unity!" will be the rallying cries of the New Age World Religion."
Point #6
"New Age teachings are to be taught and propagated in every sphere of society around the globe.
Point #7
"New Age leaders and believers will spread the apostasy that Jesus is neither God nor the Christ."
Point #8
"Christianity and all other religions are to become integral parts of the New Age World Religion."
Point #9
"Christian principles must be discredited and abandoned."
Point #10
"Children will be spiritually seduced and indoctrinated and the classroom used to promote New Age dogma."
Point #11
"Flattery will be employed to entice the world into believing that man is a divine god."
Point #12
"Science and the New Age World Religion will become one."
Point #13
"Christians who resist The Plan will be dealt
with. If necessary, they will be exterminated and the world 'purified.'"
"New Age leaders say that if the coming period
of world crises and purification results in suffering and death
for unbelievers, so be it-their karma is being worked out. In
other words, Christians, Jews, and other unbelievers deserve exactly
what they're getting. Indeed, it is suggested that pain and suffering
are unavoidable. They are part of universal law and serve as preparation
for eventual Godhood"
"what these men [the Illuminati] are doing is
setting the stage for a great deception. They have organized
the whole world into a theater of illusion. The whole world has
become the lie. In effect the religion of the Illuminati is witchcraft."
"The New Age practice of occult meditation leaves the individual in a semiconscious trance state and easily susceptible to influence by demonic spirits. Christopher Hyatt describes the process of Eastern Meditation as "emptying oneself out: a spiritual laxative." Once you've emptied your mind, it can be quickly filled up by unholy spirits. That's what demon possession is all about.
Once the person is indwelt by demons, he or she becomes like putty in their master's cruel hands. When he gives the order for them to take to the streets, they will obey. When the demon spirit whips up an attitude of violence and unrepressed hostility, it must be ventilated.
Satan's New Age followers will one day soon ventilate
that hostility against the People of Light, God's people.... Jose
Arguelles, head of the New Age's Harmonic Convergence, has spoken
of a coming 'purification period' in which the '`people's army
of earth' will 'de-structure civilization' and dismantle the present
world economy. This army is to be made up of 'superhumans' whose
minds are linked up with 'spirit guides' from another dimension.'
In truth, these will be New Age warriors taking direct orders
from demons. Warriors who curse the light. They will be Soldiers
of Darkness."
New Age followers within the U.S. Army have formed an elite New Age military unit called the 'First Earth Battalion.' It was founded by Lieutenant Colonel Jim Channon, and is steeped in New Age Occult teachings and the martial arts. The following is taken from a letter by a soldier in that New Age Battalion, written to Texe Marrs and published in his newsletter Flashpoint,
September 1994:
"We were a group of highly selective soldiers. We were to be "Purified Psychic soldiers." We all had our outline of "The Plan." We were to prepare for the emergence of a "New Order" We were encouraged to read all types of New Age and Occult books, to study various martial arts, and to practice mind powers. Spirit Guide (demon) communication was also encouraged. They were said to be "wiser." My best friend and I studied and practiced our meditation and psychic warrior skills everyday. I also studied Ninjutsu and Tai Kwon Do, as well as Tai Chi. We weren't supposed to talk to a lot of people about this unit as of then....
We were told of this 'Third Wave World' and that we muse prepare locally until the call goes out for global action. We were told that we were the soldiers who had the power to make paradise. That we were a 'leaderless but powerful network.' It doesn't take much imagination to guess who the "new leader" is to be.
As for our potential to grow, we were told we could 'become as gods,' that there are no limits for a First Earth Battalion soldier. We could travel to new places in our minds,
walk through fire, move and/or bend objects with our minds, stop our hearts with no ill effects, and see into the future, etc., etc., etc.
More quotes; 'We shall continue to look everywhere to find methods of control.' 'In the end, all martial arts serve only one real function, to open the warrior-soldier up to the truth: that is when the spirit can come in.'
There are six levels of Psychic Soldier, from the new trainee to the highest, which is the Warrior Monk or Master Warrior. Then it's on to spiritual beings (like angels) and on to gods. Our combat was called the "Beginning of the Beginning." We were confidently told: "any Nation or Army that ignores the New Ingredients will suffer strange defeats. They may win some battles but we will win the war. Our organized military forces are the perfect catalysts for this action. Evolution is God's promise that men shall be gods. We are all one as God."
The New Age military force requires rituals, chants, OM meditation, Earth prayers, and a pledge of allegiance to the planet and to people (no mention of the U.S.). The first book of required reading was The Aquarian Conspiracy. Then on to many others. In the service, as you know, the lower ranking people are usually young and programmed to listen to and obey anyone who outranks them. Well, if you could see my New Age military instruction manuals and books, you would see all the names of leaders listed are either high ranking civilians or high ranking officers. There is a lot of push behind all that brass.
I am still in the military, and it worries me that
our military can be so readily swayed by New Age thinking."
Texe Marrs believes that New Age music, sometimes called "mood," "contemplative" and "meditative," can be "even more deadly to the spirit than heavy metal rock"
Ncw Age music is designed to bring the listener into a peaceful and hypnotic trance state during which demons can easily enter and take possession. It's been called "electronic meditation." A number of the New Age instrumentals have hidden subliminal messages. Supposedly, these messages can reprogram or rescript your brain.
. . . New Age music can easily overwhelm the senses
of young people and adults alike. Because it is more subtle and
deceptive, it is even more harmful and deadly than any other form
of music...."
Constance Cumbey, in her book The Hidden Dangers Of The Rainbow states:
"The glue binding most New Age devotees is one of common mystical experiences. 'Experiential religion' is considered vital within the Movement. A substantial proportion of those within the Movement strongly believe in psychic phenomena and say they do so because of 'direct experiences.'
Those among their number who have not participated
in the communal tripping of the 'Light Fantastic' are encouraged
to try meditation, LSD, or any one of the scores of 'psychotechnologies'
promised to induce 'transformation'-a euphemism for progressively
deeper levels of demonic influence."
Maitreya: The New Age Messiah
"Who is Lord Maitreya? Is he the antichrist? Is he already in the world today? Is he an ordinary man who is demonically possessed?
Only the insiders of the New Age Movement hierarchy know his true identity.
What do we know about Maitreya?
The full-page newspaper ads give us some clues. According to Tara Center, sponsor of the ads:
· He is a world teacher for all humanity.
· He will soon announce his identity.
· He will communicate to all humanity through a worldwide radio and television broadcast.
· He plans to build a new world.
Exactly what does the name "Maitreya" mean?
Maitreya is supposed to be the fifth reincarnation of Buddha. The world's Buddhists are already expecting Lord Maitreya to return to earth. So, the name was a very shrewd choice.
In order to appeal to Christians, New Agers say Maitreya is the Christ. For Moslems he is the Iman Mahdi. For Hindus he is Krishna.- -
Maitreya's followers are now in the last stage of the New Age scheme to take the world for Lucifer.
Lucis Trust-formerly Lucifer Trust-ran ads in the Reader's Digest, which displayed The Great invocation to Maitreya.
The Great Invocation refers to The Plan. It says' "Let Light and Love and Power restore The Plan on Earth.''
What is The Plan? It includes the installation of a New World "Messiah," the implementation of a new world government and new world religion under Maitreya.
They have numerous political, social and economic goals, including the following:
· A universal credit card system.
· A world food authority which would control the world's food supply.
· A universal tax.
· A universal draft.
But there is more to The Plan-they intend to utterly root out people who believe the Bible and worship God and to completely stamp out Christianity.
They have stated that they plan to outlaw all present religious practices and symbols of orthodox Jews and Christians. The lvlovement is working quickly and efficiently to execute its scheme to take control of the world for Maitreya.
New Agers have threatened violence and even extermination of Jews, Christians and Moslems who fail to cooperate with Maitreya and his new religion.
The Tara Centers are part of international networks involving tens of thousands of different organizations behind the New Age Movement and its false Christ. Creme describes it as being worldwide.
During an interview with Jack Kisling of the Denver Post, Creme discussed Maitreya. Kisling gives this account:
'Benjamin Creme . . . told me . . . that he will reveal himself in a worldwide 'day of declaration,' at which time the millennium will have dawned.... He explained that by The Christ he means not Jesus Christ, but the Master of Wisdom of whom Jesus and such other spiritual leaders as Mohammed, Brahma and Krishna are disciples....
Asked what will happen after the great galvanic day, Creme said progress will be slow but steady. World needs and world resources will be reassessed and redistributed and the groundwork for a single global religion will be started and probably flower fully within 20 years.
' 'Won't the advent of a single world religion annoy the hierarchies af all the current orthodox religions?' I asked.
'More than that,' he said with a smile. 'They will be shocked. I dare say they will be among the last to accept the Christ.'
But, according to Kisling, Creme said confidently, "It will come, anyway, because it must. We will begin to live,' he said . . . 'as potential gods.'
The Club of Rome is another very prominent New Age organization. It has drawn up the blueprints for a new world order.
How could this ever happen? What conditions must emerge to pave the way for a world takeover by the antichrist, or Lord Maitreya or anyone else?
Interestingly enough, in The Aquarian Conspiracy, Marilyn Ferguson comes flat out and makes an admission that the purpose of the LSD circulation in this country was to get people open, to get their channels open so they would have what she called a "religious experience." But this is nothing: more than possession."
Ardent New Age guru and prophetess Marilyn Ferguson proudly describes the New Age Movement as the Aquarian Conspiracy.
She states:
"The Aquarian Conspirators range across all levels of income and education, from the humblest to the highest. There are schoolteachers and office workers, famous scientists, government officials and lawmakers, artists and millionaires, taxi drivers and celebrities, leaders in medicine, education, law, psychology. Some are open in their advocacy, and their names may be familiar....
There are legions of conspirators They are in corporations, universities and hospitals, on the faculties of public schools, in factories and doctors' offices, in state and federal agencies, on city councils and the White House staff, in state legislatures' in volunteer organizations, in virtually all arenas of policy-making in the country."

Gary Kah in his book Democratic Roots of Globalism says he has discovered that most hard core New Age ' organizations belong to other, more powerful organizations. It became evident to him that within the large network of organizations, a common mindset exists in which they collaborate to bring about certain end results-the ushering in of a New Age:
"The inner circle of the New Age movement (in Western society) seems to consist of individuals from the highest levels of Freemasonry, along with important members of other slightly less powerful "policy making" groups such as the Club of Rome, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission (whose leaders are often closely connected with, or are themselves members of, the Masonic Institution). These so-called round-table groups are closely tied to the United Nations and receive much of their funding from various international financiers who are also part of the Masonic network. (According to the World Book Encyclopedia) 1986 Edition, more than one hundred organizations maintain a special relationship with Freemasonry.)
Lucis Trust and its immediate network of organizations,
on the other hand, seem to be the main link between the secret
societies of Freemasonry and the public, serving as a type of
"go between." Their purpose, as I see it, has been to
prepare the way for the New World Order, by conditioning the masses
to accept its "spiritual" principles. (It only makes
sense. If a world government was ever to take place, it would
have to go public at some point; it could not be kept secret forever.)
The process of conditioning society has been going on for about
one hundred years, but it has greatly intensified during the last
generation.... "
