The Spiritual
United Nations
As
discussed in various articles on this website the ‘green
philosophy’ that is rapidly permeating our society has been
fostered since its inception by the Club of Rome and its affiliated
organisations. Members
of the CoR triad include Al Gore, Javier Solana, Mikhail Gorbachev,
David Rockefeller, Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton, Maurice Strong, Robert
Muller, Bill Gates, Jimmy Carter and many other influential leaders.
In their various reports the CoR clearly outline their ultimate goal
to “transform humanity into a
sustainable global interdependent society, based on respect and
reverence for the Earth.” To briefly recap their
stated agenda in their own words:
“Man
possesses, for a small moment in his history, the most
powerful combination of knowledge, tools, and resources the world has
ever known. He has all that is physically necessary to create a
totally new form of human society - one that would be built to
last for generations.” – The Limits to Growth,
a report by The Club of Rome
“Now
is the time to draw up a master plan for organic sustainable
growth and world development based on global allocation of all
finite resources and a new global economic system. Ten or twenty
years from today it will probably be too late.” –
Mankind at the Turning Point, a report by The Club of Rome
“This
proposed new global system is highly interdependent as, in
the same manner that the human body assigns different tasks to its
various organs, each region is assigned specialized and specific
tasks, and is each is dependent on the others for their common
survival… The resultant ideal sustainable population is
hence more than 500 million but less than one billion.”
– Goals for Mankind, a report by The Club of Rome
“In
searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and
the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused
by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and
behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is
humanity itself. Democracy is not a panacea. It cannot organize
everything and it is unaware of its own limits. These facts must be
faced squarely. Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is
no longer well suited for the tasks ahead.” –
The First Global Revolution, a report by The Club of Rome
Two
of the most influential members of the Club of Rome, Maurice
Strong and Robert
Muller, have both
worked for the United Nations since its inception and risen to the
very top of its bureaucracy. Strong was the first Secretary-General
of the UN Environment Programme, Chief Policy Advisor to Kofi Annan,
Secretary General of the Rio Earth Summit, co-author of the Earth
Charter and co-author of the Kyoto Protocol. Muller was the
co-founder of UNESCO, the Director of the Budget overseeing all the
UN’s 32 programmes, the Founder and Chancellor UN University
for Peace, and Assistant Secretary-General of the UN for 12 years.
Detailed biographies can be read in my article on Gaia’s
Gurus.
During
my research into these two men it has become clear that they have
permeated the UN with their New Age philosophies based on reverence
for the Earth as a divine
sentient being. To
accomplish this they have worked closely with various New Age
organisations that are officially accredited to the United Nations:
The Lucis Trust
This organisation was
originally founded in the 1920s by the renowned occultist Alice
Bailey under the name
of the Lucifer
Publishing Company.
The Trust is recognised by the United Nations as a Non-Governmental
Organisation (NGO) and is represented at regular briefing sessions at
the UN. The Lucis Trust is also a
member of the UN Economic and Social Council.
Interestingly Robert Muller served as the Secretary
of this Council for
many years. Until recently the Lucis Trust was located
at 666 United Nations Plaza and lists its official
sponsors as the UN,
Greenpeace and Amnesty International.
Alice Bailey claimed to
be able to channel a spirit guide called ‘the Tibetan Master
Djwhal
Khul.’ Robert
Muller was a disciple of Bailey and in his World Core Curriculum it
is explicitly stated that "the
underlying philosophy upon which the Robert Muller School is based
will be found in the teaching set forth in the books of Alice Bailey
by the Tibetan teacher Djwhal Khul." Bailey taught
that the ‘World Spiritual Teacher’ would soon appear and
lead the world into the Age of Aquarius and it was the task of her
disciples to “prepare the way for His
imminent appearance.”
“Today
there is an increasing expectancy regarding the return of the "World
Teacher", the Coming One who will return to lead humanity into a
new age and into a heightened consciousness. In fact, some claim that
the Christ has already reappeared in physical form and has been
"sighted" in various parts of the world. proclaimed",
either by Himself or by any other individual or group.”
Bailey claimed that this reappearance required intense
meditation and the reciting of the Great
Invocation. Former UN
Sec-Gen Dag Hammarskjold was also a follower of Bailey and he was
responsible for the construction
of the Meditation Room
within the UN building. Meditation
meetings have been
held regularly within this room for decades and they open
with a recital of
Bailey’s Great Invocation:
“From
the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream
forth into human minds.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let
love stream forth into human hearts.
May the Coming One
return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of
God is known
Let purpose guide all little human wills -
The
purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the
centre which we call the human race
Let the Plan of Love
and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil
dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan
on Earth.”
– link
Interestingly
Robert Muller’s EarthPax
site refers to him as an Ascended
Master and has a copy of the Great Invocation prominently displayed.
Remember this guy was second in charge of the UN for decades and
founded many of its most important institutions. Even more
interestingly many of the organisations founded by Club of Rome
members (see here)
are in
charge of these
meditation meetings within the UN!
Each year “the
United Nations calls upon individual people of goodwill and groups to
observe a Global Vigil of Meditation and Prayer. This
year’s Vigil,
held on September 21st, “aims to have
individuals or groups commit themselves to spend specific 15 minute
periods in prayer or meditation for a culture of peace and goodwill.
Each 15 minute period begins and ends with a sounding of the Great
Invocation.”
The Aquarian Age
Community
The AAC
was founded by the Lucis Trust and describes its mission
as “preparing the way for the imminent
appearance of the World Spiritual Teacher.” They are
an official consultative
NGO in association
with the United Nations’ Department of Public Information and
their website is sponsored by the UN. On their website they state:
“We have an informal
network at the UN, a humanity underground. It consists of those who
are committed, aware, and striving to bring the New World to birth.
It consists of people in high places and in low. The patient
Secretary who has been 30 years with the UN, but lives with
the vision and the spirit; of the professionals, and
undersecretaries and heads of departments who are acting out the
imperatives that their own inner vision gives them.
Some
few are conscious of the sources of their inspiration; most are not.
They are the Karma Yogis of our time - those whose path of
spirituality is to achieve through doing - to grow through serving.
They are found not only in the secretariat but also in the
delegations to the UN, among the diplomats and their staffs, and
also among folks like us, representatives of non-governmental
organizations around the UN.” – link
No
doubt the ‘patient Secretary’ refers to Robert Muller who
served as Assistant Sec-Gen of the UN for decades, or perhaps Maurice
Strong who also served in this position. The AAC has a startling
website that clearly
outlines their goals and influence within the UN. Even a brief
perusal leaves little doubt of their true agenda. Articles on their
site include:
THE
SPIRITUAL IMPULSE BEHIND THE UNITED NATIONS
PLANETARY
INITIATION AND THE WORK OF THE UNITED NATIONS
THE
NEW WORLD ORDER AND THE WORK OF THE UNITED NATIONS
SPIRITUALITY
AT THE UNITED NATIONS
PREPARATION
FOR THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE WORLD SPIRITUAL TEACHER
It
would take a hundred pages to analyse all the material on the ACC
site so I encourage the reader to take a look at the articles listed
above for themselves. Perhaps the most interesting pages are the
minutes from their meetings discussing how they will “recognise
the World Spiritual Teacher and introduce him to the world.”
Top UN officials attend these meetings!!
“We
know these are unprecedented times on our planet and millions within
humanity have the opportunity to make a major leap in
consciousness. Involved in the process of planetary
initiation is the externalization of the Hierarchy of Masters of
Wisdom and the reappearance of the Christed One - the World
Spiritual Teacher. Many of us here believe we incarnated at just
this time in order to help in the needed preparatory work that must
pave the “Path of Light” for these wondrous event…
This sparked the thought of the Earth as our Mother. We are
part of the earth mind set, drawing closer and closer to that
feminine principle, possibly drawing problems of the entire earth to
ourselves.” – link
The
Baha’i and the UN
While researching for this article
I have been very surprised at the extent of the involvement of the
Baha’i religion in the United Nations. However, perhaps it is
not so surprising when you realise that Maurice Strong is a devout
Baha’i and was the leader of the organisation in North America.
The Baha'i community has, as a duly accredited non-governmental
organization, long worked closely with the United Nations, supporting
many of its goals and programs, and taking a leadership role in
several international gatherings. Its involvement in the United
Nations dates back to the founding of the UN in 1945.
In
1947, the Baha’i communities of the United States and Canada
were recognised by the UN Department of Public Information (DPI), and
the next year, the Baha’i International Community itself was
recognised
by the UN as an
international non-governmental organization. In May 1970, they were
granted consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council
(ECOSOC), then under the leadership of Robert Muller, allowing for a
greater degree of interaction with the Council and its subsidiary
bodies.
On their own
website the Baha’i
boast that their representatives provide leadership in a number of
UN-related bodies, including the NGO/Department of Public Information
Executive Committee, the Committee of Religious NGOs, the Values
Caucus, the Millennium NGO Network for U.N. reform, the Commission on
the Status of Women and the Commission on Sustainable Development.
Since then they have also been granted consultative status with the
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and relationships with
the many UN bodies have deepened and expanded over the years.
The
Baha’i organisation claims to have a close working relationship
with the World Health Organization (WHO) and with the United Nations
Environment Programme. It is also involved in joint activities with
UNIFEM and UNICEF as well as many other religious, environmental and
social programs within the UN. The Baha’i spiritual beliefs
mirror almost exactly those described by the Lucis Trust and AAC
described above. They too are waiting for the imminent arrival of an
‘Enlightened Being’ who will lead humanity into a ‘new
world order’:
“For
Baha'is, the term "new world order" has a special
and clear-cut meaning. More than 100 years ago, Baha'u'llah invoked
the phrase to categorize a future series of momentous changes
in the political, social and religious life of the world. "The
signs of impending convulsions and chaos can now be discerned,
inasmuch as the prevailing Order appeareth to be lamentably
defective," He wrote. "Soon will the present-day order
be rolled up and a new one spread out in its stead. Baha'is
understand that the dramatic changes and transformations we have
witnessed over the last century - and which we are continuing to see
- have been initiated by the coming of a new Messenger of God
and influenced by the breaking light of a new Revelation.”
– link
The
Baha’i faith sees the United Nations as the vessel by which the
unifying of the world’s religions into one faith will come to
fruition. Their plan for the future of our world and the role of the
United Nations overseeing a regionalised world mirror almost directly
the proposal outlined by Maurice’ Strong Commission on Global
Governance. Baha’i writings state “the
oneness of humanity implies an organic change in the structure of
present-day society, a change such as the world has not yet
experienced. It calls for no less than the reconstruction and the
demilitarization of the whole civilized world – a world
organically unified in all the essential aspects of life, its
political machinery, its spiritual aspiration, its trade and finance,
its script and language.”
In a statement to
the World Summit on Sustainable Development in August 2002, the
Baha’i Community wrote,
“despite significant achievements, the
United Nations has yet to grasp fully both the constructive role that
religion can play in creating a peaceful and prosperous global order,
and the destructive impact that religious fanaticism can have
on the stability and progress of the world. The UN must work
untiringly to exorcise religious bigotry and superstition from
within their faith traditions and renounce claims to religious
exclusivity and finality.” In other words
Christianity, Judaism and Islam are forms of religious bigotry that
must be exorcised from the world system.
Reform of
the United Nations
As discussed in my article entitled A
United World the UN is
currently considering various proposals to reform the organisation.
Perhaps the most interesting, at least to this writer, is the
proposal to replace the ten Security Council members with
representatives from ten
geographical unions.
This concept was first proposed by the Club of Rome in 1974 in their
report Mankind at the Turning Point:
“Paths
of development, region-specific rather than based on narrow
national interests, must be designed to lead to a sustainable balance
between the interdependent world-regions and to global harmony. A
"horizontal" restructuring of the
world system is needed, i.e., a change in relationships among
nations and regions and as far as the "vertical" structure
of the world system is concerned, drastic changes in the norm
stratum. Cooperation by definition connotes interdependence.
Increasing interdependence between nations and regions must then
translate as a decrease in independence.”
Maurice Strong chaired the UN’s Commission on Global
Governance and it’s final report clearly stated: “Regionalism
must precede globalism. We foresee a seamless system of
governance from local communities, individual states, regional
unions and up through to the United Nations itself. The concept
of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle
of international relations. It is a principle which will yield
only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global
environmental cooperation.”
While in its
present form the United Nations may appear to be an impotent bungling
bureaucracy many organisations are anxiously anticipating a new
reformed empowered ‘UN version 2.’ The Club of Rome
claims that at the right moment it will “bring
order out of chaos.” As I have previously stated
this reformed United Nations is likely to rise from the ashes of a
major world crisis and will no doubt be lead by a charismatic world
leader, perhaps assisted by this ‘World Spiritual Teacher.’
