Are your children being taught how to make
"paper images of a Hindu god, make toothpick
and yarn 'worry dolls' to ward off anxiety, and
take part in Earth Day worship services?" They
are if they attend the Bedford Central School
District in White Plains, N.Y.
Are your children being taught how to howl
like a wolf, as an expression of their "oneness"
with nature? They are if they attend church in
the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas, or the
Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine in
New York.
Are your children being taught that the three
"R's" are: Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse? They
are if they attend most any public school in
America.
Public education, and American churches are
being overwhelmed by a deluge of
environmental propaganda arising from a core
belief in the gaia hypothesis. Popularized by
James Lovelock, the gaia hypothesis contends
that the earth is the giver of life; that all life
forms have equal intrinsic value; and that
human beings immorally abuse the rights of all
other life forms.
The gaia hypothesis is the "sustainable"
version of ancient pagan beliefs, articulated
early in this century by Alice Bailey. Bailey
said her wisdom came from an "ascended
master," Djwhal Khul, a Tibetan teacher who
spoke to her while she was in a trance. Her
publishing company was named "Lucifer
Publishing," but has now evolved into The
Lucis Trust.
Were these the antics and beliefs of a handful
of eco-freaks, it wouldn't matter. But when
these antics and beliefs find their way into our
public schools and our mainstream churches, it
does matter. When our kids are not only
exposed to, but are also required to participate
in these rituals, it is time for parents to stamp it
out at its source. But what is the source?
Yes, it is the U.S. Department of Education.
Yes, it is the National Education Association.
Yes, it is the National Wildlife Federation, and
The Nature Conservancy, the World Wide
Fund for Nature, and thousands of other
environmental organizations. But behind these,
there is a common source. Robert Muller is the
author of the "World Core Curriculum." He is
widely recognized as the "father of global
education." For 30 years, he was Deputy
Secretary-General of the United Nations. He is
the Chancellor of the U.N. University. He is the
founder of Robert Muller Schools. The preface
of the Robert Muller School World Core
Curriculum Manual, November, 1986, says,
"The underlying philosophy upon which the
Robert Muller School is based will be found in
the teachings set forth in the books of Alice A.
Bailey, by the Tibetan teacher, Djwhal Khul."
Robert Muller told an audience in Costa Rica,
"We hear now of the Gaia hypothesis, of the
interdependence of all inert and living matter,
that we are part and parcel of a living planetary
organism." Muller believes that "Each of us is a
cell, a perceptive nervous unit of the Earth."
And that some of the cells have evolved to
become the earth's brain.
Muller says, "We have now a world brain: the
United Nations and its agencies, and groups
and networks around the world, are part of the
brain. We are in the process of becoming a
global civilization."
Muller's 30-year sidekick at the U.N., Maurice
Strong, and Mikhail Gorbechev have drafted
the Earth Charter, a document designed to
translate the gaia hypothesis into 18 principles
which underlie international environmental
law. Every school kid has been, or soon will be,
required to study the Earth Charter, as they
have been required to study the International
Declaration of Human Rights. Several
American universities are now offering courses
in the study of animal rights. They want our
kids!
Who are they? Robert Muller, Maurice Strong,
and Mikhail Gorbechev are a few of the
growing number of international and national
leaders who are convinced that the world must
undergo a "wrenching transformation" in which
society is reorganized around the central
principle of protecting the environment, under
the command and control of a central global
authority. The transformation is well
underway. It has been made possible because
for more than a generation now, our kids have
been fed a steady diet of gaia-garbage,
disguised as sustainable-this, and
sustainable-that.
It has long since stopped being about the
environment; it is now about producing an
army of red, white, and blue enviro-students,
who are prepared to march out into the world
under the command and control of a global
authority to become obedient citizens of the
new global civilization.
