Behind the
New Age
In October of 1984, Richard
Kieninger insisted on clearly distancing The Adelphi Organization from the
“New Age” movement since many people tended to lump TAO’s work and philosophy
in with the New Age. This was surprising new direction for many young
students of the Brotherhoods since The Stelle Group had, two years previous,
announced that living in the community of Stelle was no longer restricted to
members. Why this sudden change of direction? What was wrong with the New
Age? Answering this question became an intense research project that expanded
amazingly and supplied a number of fascinating connections. The whole
perspective on the New Age changed radically in the light of this
information. Since then, many have come to understand the connection between
the phrase, New Age, and the darker side of spirituality. In short, the roots
of the New Age show that it is neither a people nor an environmentally
friendly movement. Here are the historically accurate facts. The essence of the
conclusion is this: that the New Age is a diabolical plot, presented under
the guise of goodness, in order to ensnare and mislead people who are
dedicated to making a better world. The Black Mentalists are behind it, and
was connected with Nazism, the Shamballists, and Theosophy, particularly
Alice A. Bailey. This sounds strong, but the conclusion is based on research. First, where the term “New
Age” originate? Most people have heard the phrase in a generally positive
sense for most of their lives. The most structured discussions of the New Age
were in the books of Alice A. Bailey. Some of them even have “New Age” in the
title, such as “Discipleship in the New
Age” and “Education in the New Age.” Looking at the copyright
date is enlightening. One book that calls for “seed groups for the New Age”
was written in 1937. That goes back to our grandparent’s generation; a far
cry from the new, New Age talk of the sixties. These books were promoting the
movement quite heavily long before the deluge of “New Age” books we see now.
Bailey’s books appeal to the person looking for a “deeper” spiritual meaning
of life. This was one of the characteristics of the hippies of the
sixties—the belief that if everyone were more “spiritually aware” there would
be no need for wars and aggressive acts. Perhaps persons seeking spiritual
enlightenment in the sixties came across Bailey’s ready-made term: the “New
Age.” As some supporting evidence
for the concept that the New Age was based on, or influenced by, Bailey’s
books, is the following: 1) The Aquarian Angel: A New Age Primer and Catalog which claims to
be a collection of common themes of the New Age. On the inside front cover is
the Great Invocation, originating from, and found in, every Bailey book. 2) Donald Keyes, who made
the tour circuit a couple of decades ago entitled his lecture, The Planetary Initiative for the World We
Choose a New Age network of “World Servers.” On a free publications table,
prominently displayed, were copies of the same Great Invocation. (More on the
Great Invocation later.) Throughout all Bailey’s
books, the term “New Age” is used frequently. Another term used frequently is
“Shamballah”, which she represented as a center of light and goodness. The
Shamballists are supposedly a bridge between humanity and the Hierarchy. The
Hierarchy is, according to Bailey, “essentially the group of the lords of the
World... they are his Ashram.” (1) Bailey says the New Age is to usher in a
period when the lord of the World will “become the ruler of a Sacred Planet,
which to date, has not been the case. Our Earth can now become a Sacred
Planet...” (2) And, finally, Bailey states: “The New Age will bring in, eventually,
a civilization and a culture which will be utterly different to anything
hitherto known.”(3) (A. Bailey) Now all this sounds
generally positive, especially the part about “light and goodness,” and it
bears some interesting similarities to The
Ultimate Frontier’s description of the Great Plan: the concept of a
gathering of persons dedicated to creating a new and better world. The Ultimate Frontier also mentions
that, “Evil is so subtle that it usually disguises itself as good.” (4) Now consider the plight of
the poor Ego incarnating in order to help bring about the New Order and
forward the Brotherhoods’ Great Plan for the uplift of mankind. How is he to
know which is the real Great Plan and which is evil masquerading as it? Well, one very distinct
difference between the Brotherhoods’ philosophy and Bailey’s philosophy is
their attitude toward the Shamballists. In Bailey’s books, the Shamballists
are presented as all that is good and beautiful. The Ultimate Frontier, in contrast, states, “The Hierarchy, as
the Shamballists call themselves, has been the archenemy of Christ and the
Brotherhoods since before the fall of Atlantis. Through telepathic hypnosis,
these Hierarchists have been a powerful, evil influence behind religious
despots, occultists, and the rulers who became murderers of millions.” (5)
Who is right? To answer this question,
other references to the Shamballists were searched. In their book Morning of the Magicians Louis Pauwels
and Jacques Bergier discuss occult forces in Hitler’s Germany in the chapter
“A Few Years in the Absolute Elsewhere.” The authors make the point that
Hitler’s Secret Service was a magical order, with roots in Tibet. They
mention, “...Shamballah and Agarthi, names which will be heard again from the
lips of those responsible for the Annenerbe (a part of the Nazi Secret
Service) at the Nuremberg Trials...” (6) and refer to the SS as the “Allies
of Shamballah.” (7) In addition, Gerald Suster,
author of Hitler, the Occult Messiah
writes, “Yet, to the SS men, their (own)
actions were perfectly comprehensible. They were the warrior elite of a
new civilization ... the high priesthood of the New Age .... Their leaders
were magicians who had formed alliances with the mystic Tibetan cities of
Agarthi and Shamballah ...” (8) And, in Hitler’s
SS by Richard Grunberger, the Annenerbe is mentioned as sponsoring “such
bizarre adventures as an expedition to Tibet.” (9) According to Pauwels and
Bergier, “It seems that Germany spent more on the researches of the Annenerbe
than America did on ... the atomic bomb.” (10) This seems to indicate that
the Shamballists were connected with, and perhaps influential in, Hitler’s
Germany. Hitler himself stated, “We are at the outset of a tremendous
revolution in moral ideas and man’s spiritual orientation. A New Age of the
magic interpretation of the world is coming, an interpretation in terms of
will and not the intelligence.” (11) In view of this, perhaps Bailey’s lovely
sounding comments on Shamballah (“Shamballa is the place where the Will of
God is focused and from which His divine purposes are directed... the
patience and sustaining love of the Shamballah are infinite ...) (12) are a
little suspect. They are even more suspect when one knows that Alice A.
Bailey was a medium, and her control called himself “Djwal Khul, the
Tibetan.” The Tibetan claims to be associated with Shamballah, the “spiritual
center.” (13) The Shamballists are in
league with the Black Mentalists, and that what happened in Germany during
Hitler’s reign was only a dress rehearsal for the Antichrist. So let us take
a closer look at what did happen in Germany. Pauwels and Bergier speak of
Hitler’s Germany as a completely different reality, based on magic and the
occult. They state, “But the Nuremberg judges, the spokesmen for the
civilization that had triumphed, did not know themselves that this war had
been a spiritual war.” (14) Gerald Suster’s book
mentions that Nazi Germany’s theology was based on occult writers such as
Blavatsky and Gurdjieff and others not so well known today. In addition, it
gives a description of what the Nazi Secret Service was doing and how it was
organized. The detailed account is bizarre to say the least. “Those who judged at
Nuremberg failed to understand the significance of what they were judging.
They were astounded by statements like that of the Commandant of Auschwitz,
Rudolf Hoess: ‘I am completely normal. Even while I was carrying out the task
of extermination I led a normal family life and so on.’ The judges were as
baffled by the horrors of the camps as they were appalled. “Yet to the SS men, their
actions were perfectly comprehensible. They were the warrior elite of a new
civilization (to be) immeasurably superior to the old, (they were) the high
priesthood of the New Age, (as well as) the standard bearers of the coming
Supermen. Their leaders were magicians who had formed alliances with the
mystic Tibetan cities of Agarthi and Shamballah, and had mastered the forces
of the living universe. Crimes against humanity? (The SS considered most men
as little better than robots, (who) felt little anyway. Compassion? A hateful
and sickening virus. Conscience? An excrescense left over from the Christian
era. Jews? Racial degenerates far removed from humankind, lower than the
animal and twice as dangerous. Concentration camps? A model for the social
order of the future. Extermination camps? A vital and necessary stage in
world purification for Aryan Man. Gas ovens? Efficient sacrificial ceremonies
dedicated to racial purity. “In their determined drive
to bring about the New Order, the SS murdered 14,000,000 men, women and
children: roughly 6,000,000 Jews, 5,000,000 Russians, 2,000,000 Poles,
500,000 Gypsies, and 500,000 others including the millions who were subjected
to slave labor, or who suffered through torture or unspeakable degradation.
It is deeply disturbing to have to add that of the 53,000 SS men who managed
the concentration camps and extermination camps, a paltry 600 have been
brought to justice. For the sake of the magical vision of Adolf Hitler and
his associates, the Second World War claimed the lives of almost 50,000,000
(yes, that really is FIFTY MILLION) human beings.” (15) To recap, so far: Alice A.
Bailey’s books were behind the New Age, and that the Shamballists (through
the Tibetan) were behind Alice Bailey. The Shamballists were behind Nazi
Germany as well. As a digression, let us
take a look at where the Black Mentalists and Shamballists came from,
according to Richard. Toward the end of the Atlantian period, on the island
of Thule, a group of priests (in the Mayan civilization), who had been exiled
from Atlantis sought control over others. The other people on the island of
Thule (who had been induced to go to Thule by these priests) eventually
became known as the Shamballist and Agarthi groups. When the Lemurian and
Brahmic Brotherhoods were established in India, these groups relocated within
close proximity to harass those on the path to perfection. According to The Ultimate Frontier, “The priests of
Egypt learned well the powers of Mind, and they perfected Black Mentalism.
Priests have used telepathic hypnosis to dominate whole nations in Africa and
the Orient (16).... Five of the seven Brotherhoods were established on
Egyptian soil to combat the fierce onslaught of the priests and their evil.”
(17) Now if the Shamballists
were influencing the New Age, where are they trying to go with it? Richard
supplied some possible answers in The
Stelle Letter on The Neo-Renaissance. He says: “The most sinister appropriation
of people and ideals is seen in an effective appeal being made to New Age
people around the world. Agents of the Tibetan mentalists of Shamballan and
Agarthi are getting more and more successful at organizing New Age sentiments
into a planetary coalition to establish a political base for a worldwide
spiritual dictator to take over. This is being done under the guise of
seeking peace via world unity. Unquestionably, the need for peace and global
cooperation is urgent, but... Conscientious people are being seduced into
preparing to surrender their God-given self-determination to an allegedly
“divine” political leader whose appearance on Earth is supposed to be
revealed as soon as an alternative New Age political structure has been
firmed up. Christ eschewed earthly rulership. He spoke of love and truth to
make us free. The Shamballist Hierarchy’s man will speak of love and
cleansing the human race as he orders the death of millions of persons who
resist obedience to his bid to totally enslave mankind. “Share or die!” will
be his slogan, and the planners intend to enforce it on individuals and
nations with the aim of reducing everyone to poverty and powerlessness as the
new ruler gathers it all to himself. This plan is already in motion; so be
watchful!” (18) Some quotes from Bailey’s
material relative to this: “There is much that must be
done to change conditions, institute new values, and produce the bringing in
of an entirely new civilization—a civilization which will permit the
externalization of the Ashrams, or of the Hierarchy, and a restitution of
hierarchical or spiritual control as it was known in the old Atlantean days
... (19)... this embodies the practical use of the new occultism in the
Coming New Age.” (20) “The Hierarchy directs world
events, as far as mankind will permit (for the free will and free decision of
mankind may not be ignored) ... They impress those who are in contact with
them, and through the inflow of ideas and through revelation they definitely
influence the tide of affairs. The Hierarchy directs and controls, more than
is realized.” (A. Bailey) (21) “Groups of spiritually
minded financiers who are conscious members of an Ashram will take hold of
the world economic situation and bring about definite and needed changes. All
these activities... are preparatory in nature.” (A. Bailey) (22) (This refers
to certain families of British bankers and some Eastern Establishment
American bankers who have promoted the Fabian Socialists’ ambition for a
One-World government and universal monetary system, primarily through George
Bernard Shaw, Bertram Russell, H. G. Wells and Sidney Webb. These people
sponsored and funded Annie Besant and Alice Bailey to set the stage for
public acceptance of a single world leader under a New World Order.) “...certain senior members
of the Hierarchy will appear and take outer and recognizably physical control
of world affairs.” (A. Bailey) (23) “He (Christ) must come
forth and take His place prominently on the world stage, (bringing about) a
state of consciousness in which right human relations and worldwide cooperation
for the good of all will be the universal keynotes. (24)... The Christ who
will return will not be like the Christ Who
departed (not Christ Jesus but the Aquarian Avatar, Christ Maitreya)...
He will not be a silent pensive figure, He will be the enunciator of
spiritual statements which will not necessitate interpretation...” (A.
Bailey) (25) “The physical presence upon
our planet of such recognized spiritual figures as the lord of the World ...
will soon give place to the reorganization (by men of unusual potency) of the
political, religious, economic, and social life of the planet.” (A. Bailey)
(26) How, specifically, are the
Shamballists influencing the spreading of the New Age and its unwitting and
well-meaning participants to support the preparations for the lord of the
World? First, by encouraging the use of the Great Invocation. This is
already, as stated above, a theme of the New Age. Bailey states: “This new
Invocation, if given widespread distribution, can be to the new world
religion what the Lord’s Prayer has been to Christianity. (27)... When the
Great Invocation is rightly used and the world centres are consequently
consciously interrelated, then certain extraplanetary Energies can be called
in by the Ruler of Shamballah to aid in the re-adjustments required for the
New Age...” (28) Secondly, the New Age seems
to be promoting a resurgence of interest in hypnotism, mediumship, and other
occult practices. If you page through magazines such as New Age and Psychology
Today and others, there is a great deal of advertising for hypnotism and
subliminals. The general public believes these are useful techniques for
self-improvement, but according to the Brotherhoods, they lower the threshold
of the will to resist takeover by spirits. The Shamballists desire to control
others’ wills. As a matter of fact, They have flatly warned individuals
against any such use of these techniques: 1) “On Becoming an Initiate,” the
section on the Brotherhoods, 2) Observations: “Black Mentalism,” “Negative
Influences,” “Hypnotism,” “Insanity and lower Entities,” and “The Wayward
Path of Occultism.” Also see chapters 6 and 7 in The Ultimate Frontier. This is an inroad that the
Shamballists will use to unfold their plan in the future. The New Age serves
as a subtle influence to encourage persons to lower the threshold of their
defenses against hypnotism and spirit control over their brains. The Ultimate Frontier states, “In effect, each man is a battleground
between good and evil; and it is the individual Ego who, blindly or
knowingly, determines which forces will prevail in his personal environment.
Evil actively seeks domination over an Ego, but the Brotherhoods are
dedicated to free will and therefore can overcome evil’s inroads in a man
only at his invitation.” (29) And so the battle continues. In short, evil manifests
as Black Mentalists, ancient priests, Shamballists, and Agarthi working to
distort truth, control other Egos, and eventually achieve “destruction of
soul.” (30) On the other side, Christ and the Brotherhoods are dedicated to
free will and assisting us in every non-interfering way possible. If it were
not for evil’s influence in the world, perhaps we would advance naturally to
Mastership without any Brotherhoods. But because we do have evil’s influence
in our world and not much time left until the progression of the life waves,
there is definitely a need for an efficient organization to have a Great Plan
for assisting mankind to get back on the path to Mastership. References 1.
