Remember, the Age of Aquarius is to be the Age of Oneness. In context with this idea, the New Age term&nbsp;<em>cleansing<\/em>&nbsp;is quite disturbing. A number of books make reference to those who are&nbsp;<em>laggards<\/em>&nbsp;when the New Age reaches its maturity. New Age leaders consider these resisters as eventually the only hindrance in allowing this global oneness to occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remnants of the Fifth Root Race [untransformed humanity] will continue to survive in the initial stages of the new Cosmic Cycle, but unless they increase their awareness or consciousness to the Higher Mind and the tempo of spirituality, they\u00a0<em>will be removed<\/em>\u00a0from the Life Stream of the Race.<sup>1<\/sup> (emphasis added)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unity-motivated souls will respond to His [the New Age Messiah\u2019s] call, their inner drive for spiritual world unity will synchronize with higher energy.\u00a0<em>People opposing the recognition of the Christ<\/em>\u00a0may struggle intensely, but it will not be prolonged. The Christ energy by then will be so strong people<em>\u00a0will be dealt with<\/em>\u00a0according to their own individualized karma and their ability and desire to assimilate this accelerated energy.<sup>2<\/sup> (emphasis added)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final appearance of the Christ will be an evolutionary event. It will be<em>\u00a0the disappearance<\/em>\u00a0of egocentric [lower self], subhuman man and the ascension of God-centered Man. A new race, a new species, will inhabit the Earth\u2014people who collectively have the stature of consciousness that Jesus had.<sup>3<\/sup> (emphasis added)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the occultist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/new-booklet-alice-bailey-the-mother-of-the-new-age-movement-and-her-plans-to-revitalize-christianity\/\">Alice Bailey<\/a>\u00a0herself, who personified New Age consciousness, backs what these previous quotes imply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new era is coming; the new ideals, the new civilization, the new modes of life, of education, of religious presentation and of government are slowly precipitating and naught can stop them. They can, however, be delayed by<em>\u00a0the reactionary types of people<\/em>, by<em>\u00a0the ultra-conservative and closed minds<\/em>\u2026. They are the ones who can and do hold back the hour of liberation. A spiritual fluidity, a willingness to let all preconceived ideas and ideals go, as well as all beloved tendencies, cultivated habits of thought and every determined effort to make the world conform to a pattern which seems to the individual the best because, to him, the most enticing<em>\u2013these must all be brought under the power of death<\/em>.<sup>4 <\/sup>(emphasis added)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If one understands the rationale behind these statements, then it becomes clear what they are talking about. Those who will accept the Christ consciousness can stay\u2014those who won\u2019t must go. The quote about people\u2019s \u201cability and desire\u201d to assimilate the \u201cChrist energy\u201d as the determining factor in their fate is very thought provoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The late <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/marxhubbard.htm\">Barbara Marx Hubbard<\/a>, a major New Age proponent, says there must be a \u201cselection process\u201d for those \u201cwho refuse to see themselves and others as a part of God [Hubbard\u2019s New Age God].\u201d She states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He [God] describes, therefore, the necessity of a \u201cselection process\u201d that will\u00a0<em>select out resistant individuals<\/em>\u00a0who \u201cchoose\u201d not to evolve.<sup>5<\/sup> (emphasis added)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human must become Divine. That is the law.<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to New Ager David Spangler, Satan is the angel of man\u2019s \u201cinner evolution.\u201d Christians know Lucifer to be Satan, the Adversary; and 2 Thessalonians 2:9 informs us that Satan is the one who will empower the Antichrist. Those defying the Antichrist will really be defying Satan\u2014and they will suffer dearly for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Persecution and death are predicted in the Bible for those who won\u2019t fall into line during the Antichrist\u2019s rule. The parallel between what the Bible says about this period and the statements above are striking. The following prophecies reveal what is in store for those who will preach the <em>real <\/em>Jesus Christ and the Gospel of the true kingdom during this time. Jesus said in Matthew 24:9:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u201d are the many who are coming in His name claiming to be \u201cchrists.\u201d Revelation says of this period:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when He had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, \u201cHow long, 0 Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?\u201d (Revelation 6:9-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following verse lends credence that this will be on an individual spiritual basis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. (Luke 21:16)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This implies that a family member or a friend may be turned over to be dealt with for their own good. It will be seen as an altruistic act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This view would most likely infuriate anyone involved with or attracted to New Age spirituality. After all, nowhere do you find New Agers saying they are going to kill anybody. It is left rather vague about how anyone will be removed. But the following channeled words by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/nealdonaldwalsch.htm\">Neale Donald Walsch\u2019s<\/a> (author of the best-selling<em> Conversations With God <\/em>books)\u00a0\u201cGod\u201d explain the rationale for what most people would consider outrageous and impossible. Listen to his \u201cGod\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the first thing you have to understand\u2013as I\u2019ve already explained to you\u2013is that Hitler didn\u2019t hurt anyone. In a sense, he didn\u2019t inflict suffering, he ended it.<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no \u201cdeath.\u201d Life goes on forever and ever. Life is. You simply change form. After you change form, consequences cease to exist. There is just Knowing.<sup>8<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real issue is whether Hitler\u2019s actions where [were] \u201cwrong.\u201d Yet I have said over and over again that there is no \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong\u201d in the universe. Now your thought that Hitler was a monster is based on the fact that he ordered the killing of millions of people, correct? What if I told you that what you call \u201cdeath\u201d is the greatest thing that could happen to anyone\u2013what then? . . . Shall we therefore punish Bre\u2019r Fox for throwing Bre\u2019r Rabbit into the briar patch?<sup>9<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a very revealing statement. Traditional morality has been virtually turned on its head here. In other words, according to the higher consciousness that Walsch is in tune with, killing people could actually be doing them a favor! But would Walsch think this is profound higher wisdom if he himself was shivering sick and starving in a cattle car bound for Auschwitz. Would he have a smile on his face if he were stripped naked and herded into a gas chamber to face a gruesome, agonizing death. I think not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But incredibly, Walsch was one of the featured speakers in\u00a0<em>The Secret,<\/em>\u00a0which swept the Western world in popularity. In\u00a0<em>The Secret<\/em>, Walsch is described as a \u201cmodern-day spiritual messenger\u201d<sup>10<\/sup> and his\u00a0<em>Conversations with God\u00a0<\/em>books including the one from which the previous quotes about Hitler were taken) are called \u201cgroundbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could there have been the same spiritual component to Hitler\u2019s persecution of humanity in Europe? Most likely. Consider the following evidence. The swastika, the main symbol of Nazism, is an age-old Hindu symbol that is still found on many temples throughout India. The word is not even German, but Sanskrit-Svastika\u2014meaning \u201cthat which is excellent.\u201d<sup>11<\/sup> A New Age book has described its meaning as representing \u201cthe final stage in which the chakra is active, developed, opened, and energized by awakened kundalini energy.\u201d<sup>12<\/sup> Thus, the very banner of Nazism stood for the energy that underlies the whole New Age movement. New Agers even acknowledge this. David Spangler makes reference in one of his books to \u201c. . . the Nazi movement, which had many roots in occultism.\u201d<sup>13<\/sup> The swastika symbol was also prominently displayed on Madame Blavatsky\u2019s personal brooch, in exactly the same style as the Nazi one (tilting at an angle to the right) decades before the Nazi Party was even formed. One can also see the parallel between Nazism and the Ancient Wisdom in the Hindu caste system, with its Brahmin (aryan) caste and its lower untouchable caste. The Nazis also took the term Aryan\u2014literally, the worthy race\u2014from Hinduism.<sup>14<\/sup> The word has nothing to do with ancient Germany as many believe but is a Hindu word meaning noble or superior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incredibly, as New Age influence has grown stronger, the Christian response has grown weaker to the point of virtually drying up. You may hear some pastors talking about atheism, evolution, and cultural issues, but rarely will you hear one talking specifically about the New Age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=5821\">The Eerie Silence of a Silent Church&nbsp;<\/a>&nbsp;by Warren B.
