THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT
In 1908, Annie Besant (1847-1933, sister of Sir Walter Besant, a Mason), an outspoken
atheist who was converted to Satanism by Pike, a member of the Fabian Society, who became
president of the Theosophical Society (whose goal was to “gain access to the universal spiritual
reality beyond material existence”) after the death of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891,
who became a Satanist in 1856 and founded the Society in New York in 1875); and Charles W.
Leadbeater, former Anglican priest, a Theosophist, and 33rd degree Mason; discovered Jiddu
Krishnamurti, who they believed to be the reincarnation of the being that inhabited Jesus,
Krishna and Buddha. They founded the Order of the Star to spread his word. Those who listened
to him speak at a Star of the East convocation in 1911 said he “spoke in the first person as a
god.” Others witnessed “a great coronet of brilliant, shimmering blue” appearing above his head.
Many knelt to worship him as the “world teacher” and the “guiding spirit of the universe.”
A biographer later wrote: “Although he was only a little boy when she brought him from
India to London, and although he hardly moved and did not speak when introduced at a party at
Charing Cross, those who were present professed to feel a strange ‘vibration’ coming from him.
Years later this same vibration caused thousands to fall at his feet in homage, accepting him as
their Messiah, when he addressed a huge International Conference of Theosophists in Holland. A
visitor to the conference afterwards testified, ‘When he spoke, it was awe inspiring. I am not
easily moved, but there was something there– impalpable, but resistless’.”
However, when he came to America in 1926, his occult powers failed him, and his spirit
guides left him. The New York Times reported him to be “a shy, badly frightened, nice-looking
Hindu.” His speaking engagements were canceled, and he later denied that he was the ‘Christ,’
and renounced the Theosophical Society. Because America, at that time, was still, for the most
part, a Christian, Bible-believing nation, the spirit that inhabited Jiddu had to leave him.
He retired in 1929, broke all connections with organized philosophy, and became a popular
mystic writer and speaker. In 1969, he established the Krishnamurti Foundation of America to
publish and distribute his teachings. He said that his only concern was “to set men absolutely,
unconditionally free.” He died in 1986. However, his library and archives are continuing to feed
a new generation his brand of New Age teaching. He was listed as a contributing editor of the
Bruce Lee magazine, the official publication and voice of the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do nucleus.
Besant was later replaced with Alice Bailey, a witch, and an occult writer who, back in the
1940’s, was the first to use the term ‘New Age.’ Collaborating with other occultists, she claimed
to be working out mankind’s spiritual destiny from a remote Himalayan retreat, and that her
writings were telepathically sent to her by the Tibetan Djuhal Khul, who said that there was
going to be a new world government and a new world religion.
In 1922, Bailey, established the Lucifer Publishing Co. of New York to print and distribute
their Satanic doctrine. The name was later changed to the Lucis Publishing Co. Years later, their
president, Perry Coles, tried to downplay the sinister overtones, by saying that ‘lucis’ comes
from the Latin word ‘lux’ which means ‘of light,’ and the word is used in the context of being
“bringers of light,” and doesn’t have anything to do with Satanism. Yet they are one of the
biggest publishers of occult material in the country.
Lucis Publishing, the Arcane School, and World Goodwill (founded in 1933 to promote
Luciferian views, is composed of individuals who are referred to as the “New Group of World
Servers”), are run under the auspices of the Lucis Trust Co., which had been located at 866
United Nations Plaza in New York City (suite 566 & 567), but later relocated to 120 Wall Street,
