Mobilising People and Actions for War

This article is the second of a three part series which compares the legal and cultural changes being made by today’s global government to those made by the Nazis. Part I, Ghost of Nazi Past, Ghost of Nazi Present focused on cultural, media, parliamentary, and judicial manipulations while this part focuses on science, religion, religious education, and spiritual mobilization. The format of this post is as follows: texts in bold font are citations from Richard Evans’ book The Third Reich in Power. Italicized texts that follow Evens’ citations are quotations from global governance actors along with some of my commentary.

Writing of the hostilities between the Nazis and the Catholic Church, Evans explains “…the German government repeatedly told the Vatican that its fight against Marxism and Communism demanded the unity of the German people through the ending of confessional divisions.” (pg. 241) Today, we see the identical argument being advanced by the Alliance of Civilizations, the World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality, et al. In the interest of combating extremism and terrorism we are told a global code of conduct which embraces only common spiritual and political ideologies must be adopted. Contributors to this code of conduct are groups such as the World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality which will “activate” the evolutionary process of global consciousness; the Alliance of Civilizations which is currently developing guidelines for how religions must interpret scripture;
Religions for Peace which is advancing A Common Word, an initiative designed to undermine religious doctrines and hijack religion; etc. Orchestrated efforts to incite violence against those who refuse to set aside their doctrines—particularly against the monotheistic faiths – have intensified on multiple fronts. Evans writes “Nazism imbued the German language with the metaphors of battle: the battle for jobs, the struggle for existence, the fight for culture…The language itself began to be mobilized for war.” (pg. 214) We are in this same place today. Christians who dare voice an unpopular opinion are accused of having a violent ethos. The existence of the new civilization is threatened if the egocentric are permitted to continue with their “defective disconnection”. It is, as they say, a fight for civilization. Setting the stage for the new religious ethos is Karen Armstrong, Alliance of Civilizations High Level Group member.


See use doctrine. The full version of the Karen Armstrong presentation can be found here.

Science
One criticism consistently launched against the adherents of the Abrahamic faiths’ is that the doctrines cannot be scientifically proven and the faithful have abandoned rational scientific inquiry. Yet many of the same critics who claim superiority have no problem advancing unproven occult doctrines such as notions of a “planetary spiritual hierarchy”; the existence of the Aryans and Atlantis; evolutionary advancement through Luciferic initiations; etc., etc.

“The real core of Nazi beliefs lay in the faith Hitler proclaimed in his speech of September 1938 in science – a Nazi view of science – as the basis for action.” Pg 259

“But humanity has hitherto lacked an adequate global grammar and a global lens to fully activate this integral/holistic/dialogic technology of mind; and since our living realities are co-created by out patterns of minding, the supreme technological advance in the human condition is this advance to the integral technology of minding.” –
World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

Religion
Here the comparisons I draw are between the Third Reich’s attempts to control Christianity and the global government’s plans to control the three monotheistic faiths. The below World Commission citations that refer to the egocentric mind refer to individuals who believe their religious texts to be true and are not prepared to abandon their convictions for a new revelation. The egocentric mind also pertains to political dissenters of the globalization process.

“National Socialism is not only a political doctrine, it is a total and all-encompassing general perspective on all public matters. So our entire life has to be based on it as a matter of natural assumption. We hope that the day will come when nobody needs to talk about National Socialism any more…One day, the spiritual awakening of our time will emerge from this will to culture.” - Joseph Goebbels Pg 211

“Our great spiritual traditions and teachers were all in diverse ways fostering and opening the way to the awakening of global consciousness.” –
World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

“One striking result of the general global law – we are as we mind…But humanity has hitherto lacked an adequate global grammar and a global lens to fully activate this integral/holistic/ dialogic technology of mind; and since our living realities are co-created by our patterns of minding,, the supreme technological advance in the human condition is this advance to the integral technology of minding.” – World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

“As an SS plan put it in 1937: ‘We live in the age of the final confrontation with Christianity. It is part of the mission of the SS to give to the German people over the next fifty years the non-Christian ideological foundations for a way of life appropriate to their own character.’…Christianity, Himmler was to declare on 9 June 1942, was ‘the greatest of plagues’; true morality consisted not in exalting the spirit of the individual but in abnegating oneself in the service of the race. Moral values could be derived only from consciousness of one’s place in, and duty to, the chain of ‘valuable’ heredity.” Pg 252

“Perhaps the single most powerful event facing humanity today is a great awakening on a planetary scale that has been millennia in the making. We humans are in the midst of a profound advance as a species to a higher form of global consciousness that has been emerging across cultures, religions and worldviews through the centuries. This awakening…is nothing less than a shift…from more egocentric patterns of life to a higher form of integral and dialogic patterns of life.” –
World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

“…it should now be apparent that global spirituality is precisely this crossing from egocentric life into the deep–dialogic life of global consciousness: this is the highest telos and consensus of our great planetary spiritual endowment…True Spirituality is the highest expression of our rational essence and is not to be confused with egocentric religious life. Spirituality is the awakening of our highest being, bringing us into direct relation with Reality as the Logosphere; it is the process of self–transformation from ego life to the awakened life of mature Integral Natural Reason and flowing in harmony with the Lawlike Moral Energy of the Logosphere. And Global Spirituality is this awakening of the Global Mind, the highest mature form of spirituality in its global power. Global Spirituality then is Awakened Critical Reason and is thus free of all ego ideology and ego dogma. Now, hopefully, the direct link between global consciousness and global spirituality should be more manifest.” – World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

“By 1937 the Protestant Church was either deeply divided between the German Christians and the Confession Church…biblical fundamentalism and Nazified Christianity were equally repellent.” Pg 228

“The egocentric… mind is a stage in our human development (evolution) which tends to separate and objectify the thinking subject from the objects of though, and to remain centered in and privileging its particular worldview (religion, ideology, cultural lens) as the exclusive measure of reality (meaning, truth, fact, value, experience, existence). The egocentric mind is broken off from the Integral Field of Reality and packages, constructs, separates, divides, polarizes, fragments all its touches….ego minding is the primary cause of the spectrum of human pathologies. And the consensus prescription is that to change this mentality is the single most important factor in transforming the human condition.” -
World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

“Anti-Christian writings of the Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg, who publicly rejected such central doctrines as the immortality of the soul and Christ’s redemption of humankind from original sin. In his book The Myth of the Twentieth Century, Rosenberg excoriated Catholicism as the creation of the Jewish clericalism” pg 238

“Robert Ley, leader of the Labour Front, went even further than Rosenberg in his disdain for Christianity and his rejection of the Divinity of Christ…” pg 251

“Jesus, whom the Muslims regard as a prophet, as in fact do many of the New Testament writers. Luke’s gospel calls Jesus a prophet from start to finish; the idea that Jesus was divine was a later development, often misunderstood by Christians.”
Karen Armstrong, Alliance of Civilizations

Karen Armstrong, a apostate and former Catholic nun, is certainly aware that this is considered heresy by the Catholic church and that her words were intended to attack an entire religion. At least the Alliance of Civilizations is no longer attempting to pretend to be something they are not.

Religious Education
“Remoulding the educational system would create a new generation of young Germans who had known no alternative source of values to Nazism. Yet there was of course one area in which such values did persist…That was religion. For reasons of political expediency and caution, the Third Reich had stopped short in 1933 of attacking the Churches and their dependent secular institutions. As it became more self-confident, however, it began to turn its attention to Christianity too, and to seek a means of either converting it to a form more suitable to the new Germany, or, if that did not work, of doing away with it altogether.” Pg 218

“Nazis now launched a sustained campaign to close denominational schools and replace them with non-religious ‘community schools’…Parents were forced to sign prepared statements declaring that they ‘did not want the education of my child at school to be misused by stirring up religious unrest’ Pg 246

“By the summer of 1939, all denominational schools in Germany had been turned into community schools, and all private schools run by the Churches had been closed down or nationalized…By 1939 religious instruction in vocational schools had been reduced to half an hour a week, and in many areas it had to follow guidelines…Parents who objected to these moves…were obliged by the local authorities to withdraw their objection, summoned to special meetings at the school to pressure them to sign their children up for ideological instruction instead of religious education…” pgs 246-247


“The German Christian’s attempt to create a synthesis between German Protestantism and Nazi racism had effectively collapsed…Hitler reluctantly abandoned his ambition of convereting it into the official state Church of the Third Reich. Instead, he ordered the creation of a new Ministry for Church Affairs, established in July 1935 under the 48-year-old Hanns Kerrl…The new Ministry was given wide-ranging powers, which Kerrl did not hesitate to deploy in order to bring refractory pastors to heel…Pastors were banned from preaching, or had their pay stopped. They were forbidden to teach in schools. All theological students were ordered to join Nazi organizations.” Pg 230

Such measures are most likely to succeed if supported by religious education that is based upon a sound interpretation of religious teachings. – Alliance of Civilizations High Level Group

“Education as we understand it here makes it possible to view with equanimity the completion of the process of secularisation, first of structures, then of society itself, as just one of several possible reflections of a modern way of life. School should give children a clearer understanding of the psychosocial, cultural and sometimes political functions of religion. This sort of approach would undoubtedly help to sharpen and challenge their critical faculties and combat the wilder excesses of particularism. This has fundamental consequences for the educational system, particularly as regards the teaching of religious education. Who should teach religion? Who can make a valid comparison between the different doctrinal elements of religions? We must beware of confusion here. A clear distinction needs to be drawn between religious education in the sense understood by adherents of a faith, which consists of transmitting the values, teachings and liturgy of their religion with a view to the proper practice of that religion (e.g. the Catholic catechism), and the teaching of comparative religion which aims only to instil knowledge about religion and the history of religion. Only the latter forms one of the bases of learning for the intercultural dialogue through education. Religious education of the first kind is perfectly legitimate, but is not relevant to the objective under discussion. Comparative religion should therefore be taught by professional teachers capable of providing a comparative analysis of religions, regardless of their own religious choice, with the objectivity of an expert, not the passion of a devotee. This is an essential choice that will determine the success of the dialogue through education. The difficulty of the exercise lies in integrating religion, which is such a sensitive issue in the Euro-Mediterranean area, into the field of education, taking into account its irreducibility and its mission to provide absolute truth, but without altering the educational philosophy of mutual knowledge based on curiosity, self-respect and openness to the Other.” - Dialogue Between Peoples and Cultures in the Euro-Mediterranean Area


Propaganda & Spiritual Mobilization
“Hitler had created a new Ministry of Popular enlightenment and Propoganda on 13 March 1933 and put Goebbels himself into the Ministry…the Ministry’s task as the ‘spiritual mobilization’ of the German people in a permanent re-creation of the spirit of popular enthusiasm…” pg. 121

“In other words, religions and the institutions that represent them cannot be banned from the public sphere but must be brought in under the leadership of the international civil bodies when it comes to questions concerning mutual recognition, universal justice, and lasting peace.” –
Alliance of Civilizations High Level Group

“The revolution we have made’, declared Joseph Goebbels, on 15 November 1933, ‘is a total one. It has encompassed every area of public life and fundamentally restructured them all. It has completely changed and reshaped people’s relationship to each other, to the state, and questions of existence.’ Page 120

“One striking pattern and disclosure that is of the utmost importance for seeing that entering the global perspective is a dimensional shift....This dimensional shift to the global lens is well beyond a mere "paradigm shift"…It actually taps a deeper ground of Reality – it is an existential shift.” -
World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

“To what extent is the current state of "American civic discourse" dominated by egocentric politics and ego democracy= egocracy? Have we truly matured into a secular civic space? A truly secular civic democracy can only arise through spiritual citizenship. That would be the true American revolution. - World Commission on Global Consciousness & Spirituality

“That is the secret to propaganda: to permeate the person it aims to grasp, without his even noticing that he is being permeated. Of course propaganda has a purpose, but the purpose must be concealed with such cleverness and virtuosity that the person on whom this purpose is to be carried out doesn’t notice at all.” – Joseph Goebbels Pg 127

“What the Nazis wanted from books was demonstrated in propaganda events such as the German Book Week, held annually from 1934 onwards. ‘Sixty million people will be roused at the end of October by the drumbeat of book promotion,’ declared one of the leading organizers of the 1935 event. These ‘days of mobilization’ would ‘implement inner military preparedness from the spiritual angle in the cause of building up our people.’ Pg 162


Last November I posted an article, Aligning the Masses, regarding the 2008 Euro-Mediterranean Year of Intercultural Dialogue. The campaign, “Mobilising People and Actions for Dialogue”, intends to mobilize civil society and raise awareness” of 500 million European citizens and develop an active European citizenship which is “open to the world, respectful of cultural diversity and based upon common values”. I had intended to write in-depth analysis on this mobilization project but while looking for a reference document found a blog space called Euro-Med which had already written everything I had intended to cover. I have not read this entire blog, but the previous link contains good information.

“Advertising and design began to incorporate Nazi symbols and to adopt approved Nazi style.” Pg 211

“Symbols can be very effective tools in advancing a cause. The creation of a house or temple of religions or civilizations in as many cities as possible will be a tangibleand important step in this direction.” -
Alliance of Civilizations High Level Group

On a personal note, my apologies for the delay in updating the blog. Life has been quite busy lately plus I've found it necessary to write at a local level as well as other other locations. Once I complete the next post in this series, I will share some of the issues I've needed to address and post my local writings here, thus making them "glocal".

- when it happened in Mexico. Is this the third time around?

Wonderful analysis Richard. This should open more minds to the changes taking place.

Plans for a united Europe have been long in the works in connection with early occult believing followers of the New Age religion. The NA religion is a uniting factor for those who think they have been chosen to bring about a new and improved world under the auspices of supernatural beings who are giving guidance to the human race. These guiders are supposedly more brilliant than ordinary human beings because they have been reincarnated and learned the lessons of life over hundreds of lifetimes.

It sure takes a leap of faith to believe these ideas, but apparently the followers of the NA movement who are at all levels of society and governments do. It just may be rationalization for their ego-driven plans for totally running the world. Heaven knows they have a large international operation in play with which to work. Power attracts the corruptible and always has, and so the network grows.

Back in 1972 Foster Bailey, husband of Alice Bailey, the Lucis Trust author, wrote a small book called Running God's Plan. What plan did the NA network have for the growth of the European Union?

Page 14
...Another approved hierarchical project is the uniting of the nations of Europe in one peaceful community. The plan is not for a new all-Europe government nor for a common language, but for right national relations dedicated to the welfare of the people living in those countries undistorted by national pride, ambitions and prejudices and not under the heel of leaders who crave power nor cursed by the folly of attempted safety by means of military might.

"This project is quite a different proposition to those in Africa and Russia. It was initiated some years ago and got underway as "Pan Europa." Many ways were tried to promote this plan, but the idea was not sufficiently idealized by the people who were a bit too sophisticaed and firm in their belief in the practical value of selfishness. Here we are dealing with a most intelligent people, highly organized, well-educated, alert to world affairs but proud of their differences and convinced of their rightness about all things. This was therefore a much tougher problem but dear to the heart of the "European Master."

"One attempt was to begin by uniting the peoples living in the Rhine river valley using that river as a binding factor. It was an attempt by a disciple but did not work. Now amother attempt is in full swing, namely the six nation European Common Market.....

"We well know that the ending of the great heresy of separateness is of prime importance to the plans of the Hierarchy. The pracical necessity of achieving a new age consciousness of world unity is being forced upon all of us by world conditions..."

I don't think I need to spell out who was the disciple of Theosophical ideas who worked around the Rhine.

Thank you for the excellent post Dorothy. I will use Foster Bailey's quote in another article I am writing. I appreciate you very much.

As usual, when you find one of these organizations you keep connecting the dots to many others. Here's an interesting "directory" of organizations:

http://www.thevisionproject.org/visionary_websites.html

Brian McLaren is listed on this site as a "visionary" along with all the New Agers. We can really see how New Age infiltrates the churches....

Rich,

"glocal" was one of the first things I came across when I started looking at the AoC and their connections.

The idea of using cities to report to the UN, circumventing the national sovereignty reminded me of ancient Greece and their city-states. I guess it will be part leopard, huh?

Thanks for helping pull down the connections between history and the present. Seems like it is doomed to repeat itself.

Thanks Leana for the excellent post. I had never considered the spots being the local governments but it makes a lot of sense.

When the President of the U.S. hails the Chief of the modern day manifestation of the Babylonian mystery religion as "Holy Father", is that not blasphemous? Why should anyone be surprised that the Vatican is a proponent of the AoC? My comment was not approved by the AoC.

Rich Peterson - Medford said...

Eric,

With all due respect and my obvious differences with the Catholic faith, I disagree that the Catholic Church is mystery Babylon. Mystery Babylon embraces all the world's false religions. Presently the AoC has expressed mostly hostility towards the Catholic Church. Until the Church denounces the divinity of Christ--which hasn't happened yet--I cannot agree with that analysis.

The Aoc has said that it will require we adhere to the doctrinal guidelines it establishes. Karen Armstrong has already set the stage in which she expects the Catholic Church and Evangelical Christianity to denounce Christ's divinity. Also, from what I have read thus far, the Evangelicals have done more to advance the objectives of the Alliance of Civilizations than the Catholics. Many of the Evangelicals have aleady dencounced Christ's divinity.

Bottom line, I think we're going to see both Catholics and Evangelicals depart from their churches once they hear the message that Christ is no longer God and all people will then know where they stand in the body of Christ.

Rich

Rich Peterson - Medford said...

I must admit that as I listed to President Bush and the Pope's speech, I was beginning to wonder if he was going to cross a line he ought not cross. He obvously walked right up to it.

I have Catholic friends who I know are saved. I look at Mystery Babylon being fulfilled more in the form of Religions for Peace which has blended itself with the Alliance of Civilizations. The literature shows that the AoC absolutely hates the Catholic Church. They are presently calling for the end of doctrinal divides and launching heavy attacks on the Catholics. Karen Armstrong has pretty much demanded that they surrender the doctrine of Christ's divinity. I hope we are not here to witness that should it happen.

Mystery Babylon unites all the false religious systems. I do not presently believe the Catholic Church has that appeal nor is in a position to do that.

Rich, Concerning who is included in the representation of the harlot on the beast of Revelation 17, I recently ordered a copy of the book "Spirit of Antichrist" by Alan
Knight. The author, I believe, tackles this very topic, with his historical analysis. Based on what I read in his volume one of his series entitled "The World of Primitive Christianity", "Primitive Christianity in Crisis", it should be insightful. Based on what I have read by Mr. Knight and Vishal Mangalwadi in his book entitled "When the New Age Gets Old: Looking for a Greater Spirituality", it seems apparent to me that the term "New Age" as is "New World Order" are misnomers, as the spirit of the so-called "New Age" was evident in the garden of Eden and the New World Order likewise to the Tower of Babel.

Eric, the current movement is called the New Age movement as that was the title given to the movement when it was first developed in the early 1900s. The movement has been cohesive over time and is a blending of the political world and spiritual occult.

The movement is probably a continuation of older attempted movements, but this one is succeeding. It should be recognized for what it is.

Leanna,
Very interesting expression. There's a church planter out in Texas who uses that expression and he also claims in one of his blogs to have met with the "UN guy from AoC"..small world.

His name is Bob Roberts Jr. and his church is Northwood. the link for the blog is:

Dated Feb. 27, 2007

He has written books about "Going Glocal".

Thank you for a very interesting link which should be brought to the attention of other researchers.

To get others to see how it works in the real world, I give you this quote from the blog:

"We wound up sitting with one of the leaders at the Brookings Institute, the head of the Alliance for World Civilizations at the U.N., Ron Sider, Chris Seiple, myself, and Joel Hunter. The Brookings guy and the UN guy both began to ask us what we got from the conference and, as evangelicals, how was it that we came to our various positions. We explained to him that not all evangelicals are on TV or even agree on the same views. They began to ask how they could partner more with "evangelicals" who were more open on things like the environment, the Arab-Isreali crisis, etc."
