Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00471)

Hi all of you,

There has been some debate going on about Theosophy and its relation to politics.
Maybe those of you here at Theos-talk who are afraid about the idea that Theosophy as such should be involved with politics - ought to read the following below, so to - face some facts. (The article has a certain Christian twist to it, but that should be of a lesser concern. It is the content, which is important.)
And please don't get your panties wet because of its content.
>:-) Smile.

And if you would make some comments on it - I could be appreciated.
What are your views ? Do you care ?

Theosophy is really already deeply involved in politics at a United Nations level !
True Theosophy or not.

An excerpt:
"When the UN Headquarters Building [New York] was built in 1946, the architects included a Meditation Room in which the only object available to worshipers is the rectangular Black Rock, a symbol of the tellurian underworld thrust up from thedarkness below. This Black Rock is the hidden Goddess. It is the rock upon which the Church of the UNbelievers isbuilt, and the center of the Organization." (29)
This Meditation Room also contains an abstract piece of art:

"...what appears to be a serpent intertwining a pole intersected by the perpendicular side of a triangle 
(cf. the central cross intertwined with a serpent) in front of a half-darkened sun representing the
Zoroastrian concept of the conflict between good and evil...." (30)

These occultic overtones, with the "Black Rock" and the abstract-serpent-art, are definitely intentional. And no wonder - according to William Norman Grigg in his book 'Freedom on the Altar', the Lucis Trust (which was founded by Alice Bailey) helped to create not only the UN Meditation Room, but also the UN's interfaith "Temple of Understanding" ('Freedom on the Altar', p. 165). Also of interest, Alice Bailey enthusiasts Corrine McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson have, in their book 'Spiritual Politics', described the UN Meditation Room as a place where spiritual experiences have been known to be had by UN officials and associates. Furthermore, the authors claim the following about it:

"The room ... has been referred to as one of the holiest of 
holies on the planet.... It is the focus for the energies of a 
unified planet and humanity, and for right relations among 
all its kingdoms of life." (31)

This book is lauded by New Age author David Spangler, who is widely recognized for his statements that a "Luciferic Initiation" will be required of all people to enter into the New Age. It also receives praise from Dr. Noel Brown, the director of the United Nations Environmental Program, who says that he hopes that the book will be read by "leaders in all spheres of life". And no wonder, for it accurately portrays the UN as a product of anti-Christian New Age thought:

"Fundamentalist Christians have great fear of any movement 
toward a world government, such as the United Nations, or 
toward "oneness", such as the New Age movement. . . . But this 
fear of "oneness" and unity may be due to the fact that many 
who are drawn to simplistic fundamentalist perspectives are 
"pre-individualized" and haven't as yet discovered their own 
identity as individuals. . . . A helpful way for fundamentalists to 
overcome their fear is to remember the "unity in diversity" theme, 
which forms the basis of the work of both the United Nations and 
the New Age movement...." [emphasis mine] (32)"

I got sort of stock at the meditation room so to speak.

The present Planet houses a number of dangerous weapons, and among them nuclear bombs.
The spread of dangerous weapons to - people of ignorance - has to be considered a problem to be related to in a proper manner.
Spiritual "dugpas" - or black magicians are existing, no doubt. But who is who, and who helps people and tell them who is who.

It is no longer a discussion about war and peace in this world. It is a matter of existence and non-existence.
That is where we are today !
