An ingenious vehicle invented to aid in the fulfillment of the New Age goal is the United Nations-sponsored Declaration of the Rights of the Child. This declaration, drafted formally by UNICEF and signed by the representatives of almost every nation on earth, is designed to strip away parents’ rights, yet it seems on the surface to be harmlessly devoted to insuring children’s rights: a perfect example of New Age doublespeak.
Perhaps the most odious provision of the UN’s Declaration of the Rights of the Child is Principle 10:
The child shall be protected from practices which may foster racial, religious and any other form of discrimination. He shall be brought up in a spirit of understanding, tolerance, friendship among peoples, peace and universal brotherhood and in full consciousness that his energy and talents should be devoted to the service of his fellow men. 9
The implications of the wording in Principle 10 of the UN’s Declaration of the Rights of the Child are staggering. The child cannot be brought up in the Christian faith since the Christian doctrine that Jesus is the only way to salvation is a form of discrimination. Preaching the gospel is out since to do so would be to foster a belief in the exclusive nature of Christianity. Finally, in this principle, we have the nations of the world asserting that the child must be instructed that “his energy and talents should be devoted to the service of his fellow men” rather than to God.
This is in marked contrast to the Bible’s unarguable teaching that we are to love God and serve Him first and foremost. Then and only then are we to serve our fellow man and devote ourselves in service to humanity.
Chapter 33
Children Will Not be Raised to Serve Christ Jesus
The New Age game plan is to deify—makes gods of—humanity. Obviously, it is first necessary to destroy the child’s faith in the one true God, the true Christ, Jesus, our Lord and Savior. And to do this, the authority and ability of Christian parents to raise their child in the admonition of the Lord must be severely limited and curtailed. If possible, it is to be completely severed. In extreme cases, children may either have to be removed from the home entirely, or placed in the custodial care of New Age childcare authorities and experts.
Of course, this will be justified as defending the children’s right to a safe, secure future in New Age Society. As a Commentary of World Goodwill, the New Age organization jointly headquartered in the United States, London, and Geneva craftily reasons:
There exists today the growing recognition that some children cannot always be thought safe and in the best care merely by the fact that they are living with their parents. It can no longer be accepted that parents have sole authority over their children. The situation is so out of control that we, as a global society, must take action towards the restoration of true liberty in the home as well as in society at large. 10
It is true that parents have no right to mentally, physically or sexually abuse their children. All Christians can agree on this. God even tells us not to provoke our children to anger. The true Christian home is a model of gentleness and consideration, a sanctuary of firm discipline wisely mixed with love and tenderness. But this isn’t sufficient for New Age leaders. They also insist that children not be taught the basics of Christian faith. The New Age leadership claims that this constitutes child abuse. It is, they say, mental and spiritual torture brought about by parental ignorance.
Increasingly, the world is falling for the New Age lies. The Christian parent who believes in Jesus and his Word is being labeled and characterized as an unfit parent, an unstable member of the “Fundamentalist Cult.” If the New Age elite has its way, the government will someday rule that it is totally unacceptable for parents to teach true Biblical Christianity to their children. If that despicable day ever dawns, the devil will have achieved his goal of undermining America. Alice Bailey, who has resolutely trumpeted, “A new form of family united must inevitably come into existence,” will have gotten her way. Our kids will become spiritual cannon fodder for Satan’s ravenously awaiting legions of demons.
Chapter 34
Honor Your Child as “God”
The New Age has come up with a diabolical justification for their plan to separate children from their Christian parents. After first teaching youth to defy and despise parental authority and after successfully causing society to unfairly brand and label Christian parents mentally unfit and spiritually ignorant, the crowning blow will be a New Age claim that children today are spiritually superior to their parents. Children are to be honored as gods.
The startling and ingenious plan of the New Age is to portray our children as reincarnated, spiritually advanced entities. Our kids, the New Age story goes, are reincarnated Ascended Masters full of divine human potential. As higher order beings, the reasoning goes, these “gods-in-becoming” cannot be allowed to be held back from achieving their full human potential by mentally unfit and spiritually ignorant parents. It will be necessary for the state to step in and take control of, protect, and guide our kids’ development. The shocking plan, then, calls for our children’s “divine potential” to be realized by their “global family.” They must become wards of the state. Rights of parents must give way to the rights of the child to become a god!
The speeches and writings of the New Age elite could not be more transparent. Our kids are to be honored as gods and be spiritually and mentally—in extreme cases, physically—separated from parents. To condition society for this upcoming, dramatic change in the family unit, the New Age propagandists are hard at work. Alice Bailey capsulized this bizarre New Age doctrine when she stated, “the children who are coming into incarnation are necessarily on the verge of soul consciousness.” Therefore, said Bailey, “we, as a global community, will soon come to this decision and place our children at the top of our list of priorities.” 11
Continuing, Bailey argued that “todays children are different... their intelligence is a product of the evolutionary tide.” As evolving divine beings, Bailey writes, our children are accelerating the present breakdown in society—a trend which she obviously found highly encouraging. 12
Swami Muktananda, the Hindu guru responsible for spiritually mentoring and introducing a large number of current New Age leaders to their twisted religious beliefs, taught them that children are God; therefore, “You should honor them as God.” 13
Chapter 35
New Age Education to be the Norm For Our Kids
Robert Muller, former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and a high-level mover and shaker in the New Age, has stated that the proper instruction of young people is an instrumental part of the New Age agenda, an agenda that must be “resolved at all costs” if the New Age soul of man is to achieve the uttermost fulfillment of its powers and destiny. 14
Muller, the “Father of New Age Global Education,” preached that “Global education must prepare our children for the coming of an interdependent, safe, prosperous, friendly, loving planetary age.” 15 A significant feature of Muller’s Global Education Curriculum for our children would be the teaching of religion. But not the Christian religion! Heavens, no! What Muller has in mind is a blended ecumenical religion of all faiths—Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and so forth. 16 Muller further believes that children should be taught that the United Nations is the “body of Christ” and he recommends a new Bible should be written to foster New Age ideas, which he refers to as “the ecumenical teachings of the Christ,” and as “a new morality and ethics.” 17
In Muller’s influential book, New Genesis: Shaping a Global Spirituality, he emphasizes that, as evolving deities, our children must be raised to appreciate their role as divine beings. For this role to be realized and for a Golden Age to transpire, the world’s major religions must “recognize the unity of their objectives in the diversity of their cults.” Moreover, such concepts as “My religion, right or wrong” and “My nation, right or wrong” must be abandoned in the planetary age. 18
Virginia Essene, in New Teachings for an Awakened Hum
anity, supposedly given to her by her spirit guide who identified himself as “Christ,” also adds her clout to the New Age cry for a new era of parenting. “Beginning in the last decade,” her “Christ” is quoted as saying, reincarnated “children with old souls came with an eagerness to express God’s love, grow in light and understanding, and to populate the planet preparatory for the thousand years of peace.”
Many will be masters of truth, heralds of this upcoming Golden Age, who need your unique nurturing. 19
Essene’s “Christ” wants society to raise little “positive thinkers.” He (or it) stresses that “the fewer false beliefs you fill a child with the less cleansing she/he will have to do later. 20 What false beliefs is this New Age “Christ” concerned about? Well, for one he wants children to be taught that God is love only, that “God does not punish.” (Thus, there is no hell, no judgement, in clear contrast to Jesus’ teachings.) 21 Second, this lying “Christ” presents the “new gospel” of the Golden Age, a gospel requiring people only to meditate and seek guidance from the spirit world, “the fourth dimension of consciousness.” You cannot serve “God” in this New Age, this false “Christ” teaches, by holding on to “obsolete” Christian beliefs contained in the Bible:
My brothers and sisters, it is not appropriate that you deny this new spiritual information that I bring because of the Bible... If you cleave only to the exact wording of the holy book which was released as a guide for past times... you will not be growing in the way God wishes. Your interpretation of all holy books must be expanded to recognize the higher vibrations now being transmitted... Some insist the Bible is a final work... To these ideas I say a resounding NO! 22
Chapter 36
Childhood’s End
In his classic novel of some years ago, Childhood’s End, New Age science fiction writer Arthur Clarke presented a dark picture of what I believe is chillingly reminiscent of the brave new world the New Age wants for us and our children.
In his novel, Clarke paints scary scenes of planet Earth on the very threshold of unparalleled world war and nuclear catastrophe. Suddenly, enormous spaceships carrying “Overlords” appear over the major capitols of the world and, though unseen, begin issuing dire and grave warnings to mankind. They back up their demands with effective demonstrations of great power. Purged of resistance, the human leaders of earth give in and begin to follow the instructions they receive from these powerful, unseen “Overlords” out in space.
Thus, through man’s own efforts, the work of the Overlords begins in earnest. Soon, a new race of “wonder children” are created who represent the next step in evolution for humanity... These children are like gods. They wield vast, miraculous psychic powers, yet they are slaves, for each is merely a single cell in the Overmind of the Universe.
The New Age plot to conquer our children and transform them into New Age “godlings” could have well been lifted right off the pages of this fascinating but evil Arthur Clarke science fiction novel. The same elements exist—a “Hierarchy” of Overlords, led by the Prince of the Power of the Air (Satan, see Eph. 2:2), operate behind the scenes. These evil entities are motivating the leaders of earth to mold their vulnerable and malleable children into monstrous New Age creations held in bondage by a demon Overmind, an Overmind named Lucifer.
PART IV
They Want Our Children
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them. Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me... (Mark 9:36-37)
Thus, tenderly, Ascended Lady Master Nada sponsors the world’s children, individual by individual and she has legions of angels who personally attend the little ones and the youth. (Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Lord of the Seven Rays)
Satan wants our children. He wants them for his evil kingdom. He wants them so God, whom he hates with unbridled passion, can’t have them. And, to achieve his Secret Plan to capture and destroy our kids, he has raised up an ever growing horde, or congregation, of New Age believers. Inspired by their demon spirit guides, the leaders of this New Age rebel1ion against God have made the possession of our kid’s souls one of their top priorities.
Chapter 37
Children’s Minds Targeted
Top New Age guru David Spangler, formerly spokesperson for Scotland’s Findhorn Community and now associate of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, emphasizes the depth and extent of the New Age commitment when, in simple but menacing terms, he recently stated, “The New Age is our children.”
Spangler stresses that everything New Age leaders and followers are doing is designed, ultimately, with children in mind. New Agers must insure that children become integrated into the New Age, he says. Moreover, New Agers must work to change the earth so that children can be “whole, healthy and safe” and “grow and prosper.” l
“There are three images to help us define the New Age,” writes Spangler, “children, earth, and the change of mind that responds to the crises and opportunities of our time.” 2
When Spangler speaks of the change of mind needed to bring in the New Age, you should understand that he is referring to the New Age insistence that Christianity must turn away from its “stubborn” belief that Jesus is the only way and come into unity with all other world religions and cults. This is the most wicked and most persistent of New Age tenets. It is being taught to our children in movies, TV, books, comic books, and by many school teachers. Wherever our children turn they are hearing the insidious New Age refrain of how evil Christians are for wishing to remain separate from the other religious groups.
Elizabeth Clare Prophet, head of the New Age’s Church Universal and Triumphant and a big promoter of the unholy Montessori Schools for children, is yet another of the many New Age leaders who are seeking to change our children’s minds. Her aim is to picture Christians as just a group of evil separatists. This is why, in her book, Lord of the Seven Rays, through a spirit named Lord Lanto, Prophet exclaims:
Can you not see how these serpents (i.e. fundamentalist Christians!) have contrived to be karma-dodgers and to place upon the Children of the Light worldwide their own guilt, their own self-condemnation, their own fear of death and hell? 3
According to Prophet, two powerful spirit guides especially have a keen interest in children. The first is a “Lady Master Nada” who supposedly assists the “New Age Hierarch, Count St. Germaine,” in the spirit realm:
Assisting St. Germaine in his “great gathering of the elect” who will serve with him in the cause of world freedom is beloved Nada... This Ascended Lady Master also serves on the Karmic Board. 4
“On Atlantis” (the fabled island which many New Agers claim really existed), Prophet writes, “Nada served as a priestess in the Temple of Love.” 5
Chapter 38
Spirit Guide to Lead Children
Elizabeth Clare Prophet also says that spirit guide Lady Master Nada is in charge of the gift of tongues—both “diverse kinds of tongues and the interpretation of tongues” on planet earth. She was, adds Prophet, the etheric model for America’s Statute of Liberty, and so she can be addressed as “The Goddess of Liberty.” 6 But in this age, her main task is to oversee and supervise the Plan with regard to children:
Thus, tenderly, Nada sponsors the world’s children, individual by individual... and she has legions of angels who personally attend the little ones and the youth. 7
Nada is especially concerned that incoming souls receive the necessary spiritual, practical, academic education and that parents need to give their children... discipleship under the Cosmic Christ! 8
Below, according to Prophet, is how spirit/guide and Ascended Lady Master Nada—supposedly speaking in her own voice—answered the prayer of one little girl:
I remember many years ago when a little girl who did not even know of the existence of the Masters of Wisdom prayed to God and said, “O Father, if thou hast any servant upon this earth or anywhere in the universe that wil
l love me and help me, thou dost not need to come thyself, but send them and I will receive them as thyself.”
And when she prayed thusly, I was sent. And I appeared to her at first only as in a dream. She saw me surrounded with roses, and having a parochial background she fancied that I was Mother Mary. And so, in one of her dreams Mother Mary came also with me, and then she (the little girl) was confused and said, “Oh, you have a sister.” 9
Chapter 39
Is Nada the Harlot of Mystery Babylon?
Lady Master Nada is nothing more than a New Age representation of the Mother Goddess of Babylon—the harlot of Revelation 17. Whether she exists as a demon spirit or as a figment of Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s obviously fertile imagination is quite irrelevant. Whichever is the case, Prophet and others use this image of the Great Mother, the Goddess, to arouse and incite the passions of their followers and to teach them New Age doctrines.
Chapter 40
Mother Mary and the New Age Rosary
References to Mary, Jesus’ mother, are also common in the New Age ministry of Elizabeth Clare Prophet. Indeed, Prophet claims that Mary came to her in a vision and gave her an entire book of instructions:
I was walking, fairly skipping along the sidewalk... praying and talking to God in joyous realization of... the Ascended Masters... All of a sudden I looked up and there she was! I was face to face with the Blessed Mother... the beautiful Mary, a being of great light. A charge of light and indescribable joy passed through my body. 10
