Capra, and Megatrends author John Naisbitt.<br />

California New Age minister and writer Terry Cole-Whittaker told Magical Blend magazine:<br />

“I feel that we are right on the edge and we are going to ‘pop’ into a new dimension. Everybody<br />

senses it.”<br />

The central theme of the New Age movement is “the emergence of a new planetary<br />

consciousness.” They hope to usher in the “Age of Aquarius” and their goal is a one-world<br />

religion. It is nothing more than a revival of the ancient Babylonian religion, a dressed-up<br />

version of witchcraft, a politically-correct form of witchcraft, which they hope to introduce to<br />

every aspect of society.<br />

The spirit guides they refer to are demons. They are working to integrate New Age teaching<br />

into religion, and in the process, they are trying to discredit Christianity. For instance, New<br />

Agers have latched onto the ‘lost years’ of Jesus, the period between his boyhood and the<br />

beginning of his ministry, which are omitted from the Bible. Kevin Ryerson, the demon<br />

channeler for actress Shirley Maclaine, says that his spirit guides told him that “the man Jesus<br />

studied for 18 years in India before he returned to Jerusalem. He was studying the teachings of<br />

Buddha and became an adept Yogi himself.” Elizabeth Clare Prophet in her book The Lost Years<br />

of Jesus, said that she discovered, through documents she found in the Himalayas, that when<br />

Jesus was a youth, he joined a caravan to the East, and studied under “wise men” who taught him<br />

mysticism. Edgar Cayce’s demon guides also gave him similar revelations. He claimed that Jesus<br />

traveled through Egypt, India and Persia; and it was in Persia that he learned from the Mystery<br />

Religion teachers. New Age leaders claim this information was censored in the 6th century by<br />

the Church. A book called Jesus Lived in India by Holger Kerston, has gone as far as to say that<br />

after the “resurrection” of Jesus, he returned to India, and that his tomb in Kashmir can still be<br />

seen today.<br />

Ruth Montgomery was told by her spirit guides: “...We are as much God as God is part of us<br />

... each of us is God ... together we are God.” Corinne and Theodore Heline, authors of many<br />

New Age books, including New Age Bible Interpretation, said that with the dawning of a New<br />

Age, an evil Satan who doesn’t exist and will vanish from man’s memory. Christians unfit for<br />

the New Age will also cease to exist, being wiped off the earth by the New Age ‘Christ.’ New<br />

Ager Ken Eyers was quoted in Parade magazine (August 9, 1987) as saying: “Those who can<br />

not be enlightened will not be permitted to dwell in this world. They will be sent to some equally<br />

appropriate place to work their way to understanding.”<br />

In the New Age book Reflections on the Christ by David Spangler (Director of the UN<br />

Planetary Initiative, and a leader in the Planetary Citizens), he wrote that Lucifer is “an agent of<br />

God’s love.” and that “Christ is the same force as Lucifer.” He also wrote: “Lucifer prepares man<br />

for the experience of Christhood ... (he is) the great Initiator ... Lucifer works within each of us to<br />

bring us to wholeness, as we move into a new age ... each of us in some way is brought to that<br />

point which I term the Luciferic Initiation, the particular doorway through which the individual<br />

must pass if he is to come ‘fully’ into the presence of his light and his wholeness ... It is one that<br />

many people now, and in the days ahead, will be facing, for it is an initiation into the new age.”<br />

He also made a connection to one world government when he wrote: “No one will enter the New<br />

World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New<br />

Age unless he will take a Luciferian initiation.” New Agers refer to the writings of a 14th century<br />

gnostic group, called Luciferians, who worshiped him, believing him to be the brother of God,<br />

and taught that he was wrongly cast out of Heaven, and would someday be vindicated. He was<br />

praised as the “bright and morning star.”
