Churches deceived by green extremists: Henry Lamb describes world religion called 'Gaia'

In a March 26 story by John Fialka, the Wall Street Journal reported that churches in 21 states were mounting an all-out attack against the Bush administration's proposal to open the Arctic Natural Wildlife Refuge to oil exploration. This campaign is coordinated by the National Religious Partnership for the Environment.

Few, if any, of the churches realize that the NRPE is the outgrowth of extreme ecologists who believe the Bible is obsolete, that the earth – gaia – is the giver of life, that human beings are but individual cells in the gaia organism, and that the United Nations is the evolving "brain" of gaia.

Paul Gorman, director of the NRPE, was director of the Temple of Understanding, housed at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. He organized a "Joint Appeal," consisting of 22 scientists and 100 religious leaders that became the NRPE. Mikhail Gorbachev hosted a conference for the group in Moscow, where James Lovelock, author of "The Ages of Gaia," was the featured speaker. Dr. Robert Muller, 30-year deputy secretary general of the U.N., and Thomas Berry, served on the Temple's board of directors.

Muller readily admits that his beliefs are based largely on the writings of Alice Baily, who founded the Lucifer Publishing Company, and whose works are said to be transmitted by an "ascended master," called Djwhal Khul.

Thomas Berry's belief system, called "Cosmolatry," is even more bizarre. In his "Dream of the Earth," he says:

Berry compares man's belief that God created the earth to the ancient belief that the sun revolved around the earth. He says both beliefs are wrong, and the truth is only now being discovered through what he calls "enlightenment."

Sens. Al Gore, Timothy Wirth and James Jeffords were instrumental in the creation of the NRPE. They arranged congressional breakfasts with NRPE leaders, helped with funding, and Al Gore delivered a sermon at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, which is reported in Cathedral literature this way:

The NRPE avoids telling the participating churches the true nature of their agenda. Instead, they are exploiting the churches, converting them into lobbying machines for their extremist policies.

Mikhail Gorbachev and the U.N.'s Maurice Strong have promoted the Earth Charter, which is expected to replace the Ten Commandments as the basis for social and religious organization. The Earth Charter has been placed in an Ark and is being ceremoniously conveyed to Johannesburg, South Africa, for adoption by the World Summit on Sustainable Development next August.

Churches that promote the NRPE are promoting a new, biocentric, Godless, global religion. Most of them have no idea.

A thorough, well-documented report on the NRPE was published by the Environmental Conservation Organization in 1996, and republished by the Chair of Free Enterprise at the University of Texas. "The Rise of Global Green Religion," and the 2001 update are available to ECO members.

From the United Methodist Church's web site:

The General Board of Church and Society co-signed this letter urging the US Senate not to drill in the Artic Refuge and instead promote clean energy sources ....

We urge you to oppose any energy legislation that opens the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other sensitive public lands to oil and gas drilling or otherwise threatens the environment, or increases taxpayer subsidies to polluters. Instead we urge you to work for a smarter, cleaner energy future that includes increased miles per gallon standards for vehicles, and a significant shift to clean energy ...

. There is no reason to damage our environment or threaten public health in the name of energy security. The fastest, cheapest way to reduce our vulnerability to potential oil price shocks is to reduce our consumption of oil through higher fuel economy standards.

Muller readily admits that his beliefs are based largely on the writings of Alice Baily, who founded the Lucifer Publishing Company, and whose works are said to be transmitted by an "ascended master," called Djwhal Khul.

Let's learn a little about Djwhal Khul, or Master D.K. (not a rapper) for short:

The Masters of Wisdom are the great beings, although like us, have traveled a little farther to a greater measure of light. Among Them are Those who have chosen service in our planetary Hierarchy, or Spiritual Government. They guide our planet through Its own miraculous evolution with Their love, wisdom, and compassion.

Among these great Ones, is the Master Djwhal Khul, also known as the Tibetan, or to His students simply as the Master D.K.. He is one of the better known Masters, having worked through numerous channels, notably Madam H. P. Blavatsky and Alice Bailey. Through Madam Blavatsky (late 1800's) His powerful work "The Secret Doctrine," revolutionized spiritual thought of the day introducing to the world at large ageless wisdom teachings. While still living and teaching in Tibet, he continued his channeled materials to the West through Alice Bailey during the first half of the 20th century, creating an impressive body of spiritual resource material which is still available to seekers today.

Shortly before Alice's death in 1949, the Master D.K. ascended. Having completed the tremendous work through Alice, He was ready to move on to others levels of spiritual service. Before her death, Alice had questioned Him as to His own future work. At that time, He indicated to her that He was moving on to other spiritual efforts and did not see His own return to work with humanity through channeling. However, in 1982, He again made contact with the human realm as a Master Teacher, this time through a voice channel, Janet McClure. When she, quite astonished by the contact, asked him about his statement through Alice, He gave His little chuckle and replied, "Oh, it's not so different here than on the Earth plane; my Boss changed my assignment." He began to instruct Janet on His plans for aiding Earth as it moved into the "New Age" He had prophesied through Alice. He chose the modern format of the workshop and spiritual intensive to aid groups of people, and the avenue of the spiritual interview to facilitate growth for His students on an individual basis. Through Janet, who also published several books before her death, He made contact with Kathlyn Kingdon, in 1984, who became His dedicated channel and has worked with Him since that time.

He led several notable lives recorded in our history books. Confucius was an aspect of Him, as well as Lao Tsu, the father of Taoism. In the Biblical story, He was Casper, one of the three Wise men searching for the baby Jesus. In 1875 he took the fifth Initiation, and could have ascended, yet He continued to stay in physical existence through the first half of the 20th century.

He is a Second Ray Master, Who along with the great Master Kuthumi, and the Lord Maitreya, work in the second Department of the Spiritual Hierarchy. With Maitreya as the head of the Spiritual Hierarchy and the World Teacher, and Kuthumi working toward his later descent as an avatar in the next age after this, D.K. has assumed a greater role in this department. He works with two young masters who together carry out the tasks required of this second department.

In the early 1990’s the Master D.K. merged with His teacher, Vywamus. Vywamus is a great teacher who is a higher aspect of Sanat Kumara. Through this merger, many have mentioned the teachings from D.K. are experienced as more profound.

Those of us who have personally experienced sessions with the Master D.K. have been gently loved into expansion and personal growth, and have come away filled with profound gratitude for His unwavering dedication to humanity. His depth of wisdom challenges the mind and reaches the soul. We laugh, we cry, we transform our lives. His love is felt, and we are reminded that He is one of Those also known as the Masters of Compassion. His principles are grounding, which is needed so much in the present day. To have an opportunity to experience such a Great Being is felt as such a privilege, yet is available to all who desire.

Keep in mind that this kind of stuff isn't merely dialogue being bounced about in the little elitist enclaves. They are implementing this stuff through something called 'Smart Growth,' which is touted as a solution to Al Gore's 'Urban Sprawl.' It has already been put in place in California and Oregon, just passed in Tennessee, and threatening Iowa and Alabama. If you see this stuff coming to your state, use every ounce of energy you have to fight it. Here are some links:
