OUR NEW FORMAT
We have had our Quad-Laser printer for nearly a year now .
Because of soft-ware limitations we were unable to take advantage
of its full capabilities for awhile. But now, as you can see, from
the appear-ance of this MONITOR, this situation is changing. We are
now employing the Graham Software's SC LASER PLUS program which is
designed specifi-cally to take advantage of the Quadram laser
printer's capabilities. We are now able to get much more copy in a
MONITOR, and it should be easier for you to read. The print is also
quite suitable for typeset -ting books and informa -tional
pamphlets and packets.
TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS!
My David Ebaugh file temporarily vanished. This delayed my
completion of the newsletter until my re-turn from North Dakota.
Holly and Rebecca, my diligent secretaries relo-cated it and it was
await -ing my return to Detroit. Unfortunately, I returned from
North Dakota with a virus that included strep throat and "walking"
pneumonia. My stamina level has been low, pre-cluding serious
concentra-tion and work on the newsletter.
NEW AGE MONITOR
IS DAVID EBAUGH A NEW
AGER?
David Ebaugh is a Bible teacher who is popular in certain areas
of the Ohio Valley; Baltimore, Mary-land ; Pennsylvania; and the
Pa-cific Northwest. I have encoun -tered people suffering from a
great deal of spiritual confusion because of Ebaugh's cleverly
worded teachings. He very "sub-tly" calls his class "New Age Bible
Teachings." But, he has re-cently insisted he is not a " New Ager"
- a t least no t in the sense of what he calls "the World ' s New
Age Movement."
ls this correct? ls David Ebaugh a misunderst ood Christian
using old -time Christian terminology that the New Agers' have
lately appro -priated? Or, is David Ebaugh a wolf in very poor
sheep's cloth -ing? After studying Ebaugh's teachings, I conclude
that they are fully "New Age" in every sense o f the word . Both h
is theology and his po li ti cal a genda a re classic a l New Age -
teachings that nobody at Lucis Trust would mourn over. The
evidence, however, strongly suggests that Ebaugh is a full -fledged
New Ager, both in terms of his theology and his political stance
.
The goals of the New Age Move -ment a re (1) a New World Order;
(2) a New World Religion; and (3) a New Messiah - one they cheer
-fully admit is NOT Jesus.
Ebaugh meets every one of the above criteria - and with far less
subtlety than many he would char -acterize as part of "the world's
New Age Movement."
Page l
Ebaugh is also publicly part of the Manifest Sons of God
Movement. This is a Movement I briefly dis-cussed in A PLANNED
DECEPTION. I learned of the ex-istence of that group from a New Age
report with the somewhat "unassuming title" of "AN EVO-LUTIONARY
BASIS FOR THE REAPPEARANCE OP THE CHRIST AND HIS EXECUTIVES THE
MASTERS OF WISDOM." The author, an associate Unity pastor at
Unity's Founder's Church, Unity on the Plaza, Kansas City,
Missouri, was inspired to write this report about how many
divergent elements were coming together to aid in the
"reappear-ance " o f "Maitreya the Christ." Par and away, the m ost
interesting part of his report dealt with what he ter m ed "Neo -
Pentecostals." The more proper name for that Movement was "Sonship"
or "Overcomers" or "M a nif est Sons of God. " Their message is a
lso some ti mes kn o wn as a "Kingdo m Message ." They have formed
some very successful and ungodly alliances in the past few ye ars
with the positive confession movement and the Dominion Theology
move ment of Rush -doony and G ary North.
The "new gospel" of the Mani -fest Sons of God is the same as
that of the New Age Movement -that the Second Coming of Christ is
us becoming Christi Whether it is called "The Externalisation of
the Hierarchy" (Lucis Trust), "the Manifestation of the Sons of
God" (Lucis Trust, Manifest Sons of God), or "the Christification
of Matter" (Chardin, et al), it all refers to the same expectation
in the New Age Movement - that we will all become "God-conscious"
and "realize our own divinity ."
Ebaugh arises out of that Manifest Sons of God Movement, but his
talk is more blatantly New Age

EBAUGH'S PERSONAL BACKGROUND
David Ebaugh is married and a grandfather. His literature says
he is an electronic engineer by trade. He claims training from many
sources including the U.S. Navy, University of Wisconsin, Purdue
University, University of New York, University of Illinois. His
diploma ca me from the Ins ti lute of Electronical and Electronic
Engineers in New York City . He claims he made "significant
in-ventions in typewriters for IBM ." He says he has been engaged
ex-clusively in Bible teaching. He operates the David Ebaugh Bible
School. According to Ebaugh's newsletter, this is mainly a
mail-order operation.
Ministry em pbasis
Ebaugh says his ministry deals with the investigation of "I)
SPIRIT, SOUL, BODY, 2.) NAMl!S OF GOD, 3.) LAW OR GRACE, 4 .) RE VE
LATJON PROPHECY," and "5.) IMMORTALITY."
He frankly admits this is an effort "to produce attitude changes
that prepare the student for the mani-festation of the SONS OF
GOD."
His ministry circulates tape cas-settes from live teaching
sessions in Hershey, Pennsylvania; Balti-more, Maryland;
Westchester; and Washington, D.C.
Ebaugh has expressed praise for Pat Robertson in past ne wsl e
tiers. This contrasts sharply with his treatment of the majority of
evangelical and fundamentalist preachers whom he claims to ex-cel
in revelation knowledge.
NEW AGE MONITOR
A Different gospel?
Paul gives a solemn warning:
"I marvel that ye arc so soon removed rrom him that called you
into the grace of CILrist unto another gospel : Which is not
another; but there be some that trouble you, and wou Id pervert the
gospel of Christ. Bu l though we, or an angel rrom heaven, preach
any other gospel u n Lo you, than that which we have preached unto
you. let him be accursed . As we said before, so say I now again,
If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have
received, let him be accursed."
Ironically, Ebaugh uses Paul to justify the teaching of another
gospel. Although in the Dible we see that Paul and Peter were
sup-portive of each other's work and knew that each had, in his
turn, been l:allcd by God and was being obedient lo that calling,
Ebaugh hints that there may have been unresolved differences
between the two. He says of the gospel we have received :
''Ttie present AGE contans a mixture gospel. It is called the
'gospel of the circlJTl-cision.' It is a mixture of law and grace.
. .. The NEW AGE wYI, not contain the 'gospel of the
circumcision.
And of the NEW GOSPEL, Ebaugh says we have coming for the "New
Age," he says:
"Paurs gospel of the UNcirctxnCiclsion will be restored, and it
will be the message of the NEW AGE. It will be a pure GRACE
mes-sage. It will not contain a mixture of LAW and GRACE. ..
Peter's gospel of the circumci-sion will come to disuse in the NEW
AGE. NEW AGE churches will praise our God for what JESUS DID, not
what WE DO (or don't do) ." MONARCH (October/November, 1 9 8 6 )
(emphasis in original. l
Three salvations?
Ebaugh teaches that there are sep -arate salvations for the
soul, the spirit, and the body. According to David Ebaugh, our
spirit is saved by faith, our soul is saved by faith and works,
anti our body is saved by
Page 2
hope. Ebaugh says that faith in Jesus saves our spirits
only!
Don't Praise Jesus - Praise Yourself!
Ebaugh's same October 1983 Monarch clearly denies Jesus is the
Christ. Moreover, he snidely criticizes those who praise Jesus!
" ... there is a difference between the words 'Jesus' and
'Christ.' Jesus describes a man who was born of the virgin Mary.
Christ de-scribes the anolntng that came from God onto the man
Jesus. But the reason the dis-tinction Is so very Important to note
Is be-cause that same anointing Is prophesied to come upon the BODY
OF CHRIST, a many membered group, of which you and I are a
part.
Neither THE AQUARIAN GOSPEL, Benjamin Creme, nor Pierre Teilhard
de Chardin could have said it much better than that!
A student wrote Ebaugh to praise Jesus. Ebaugh's answer to him
is further suggests his New Age be-lief that Jesus is not the
Christ:
"Q. Praise God What a wonderful savior Jesus is.
" A. Without bei1g disrespectM please allow me to point out that
scripture uses the word Christ, not Jesus. As long as you use the
words Jesus and Christ for the same meanhg, you will rriss knowng
the many wonderful plans that GOD has made for the Body of Christ
In the future. You will relate many scriptures that are about the
future and the Body of Christ, mistakenly to the past, think-hg
that Jesus cid it. ... The anolntng (Christ) ELOAH came from the
Go(f)ead upon Jesus and and that made him JESUS CHRIST (the
Messiah).
Ebaugh compounds the heresy by saying to the next
questioner:
'' Q. I'm begimlng to see that you are em-phasi&lg (sic) the
power of the Christ, aren't you?
"A. In llis day and age we need to see what will be expected
from the Body of Christ and quit relegating it to Jesus. The word
ELOAH In Psalm 1 1o:1 refers to Christ. As the Christ (aolntng)
ELOAH came upon Jesus, It refers to Jesus Christ. As the Christ
(anoint-ing) ELOAH will come upon the many mem-
-
February, March, 1986
bered body - it refers to the Body of Christ. So it also has an
application for the present as well. Structured Christianity has
not yet noticed these differences, so it has been all
rele~ted to the past.
Ebaugh teaches we have different gods for different
ages!
f>avid Ebaugh teaches his students that all gods descend from
a god he calls "El Elyon." It is El Elyon, Ebaugh maintains who is
the Most High God, the Possessor of Heaven and Earth . Melchisedec,
he says, is a priest of El Elyon. This is important, be -cause
Ebaugh, like millions of New Agers and other cults, claims lo be
part of the "Order of Melchisedec ." French scientist, Jacques
Vallee writing in his 1979 book, MESSENGERS OF DECEP-TION found
this to be a common characteristic of UFO observers and occult
groups around the globe .
Reporting lo El Elyon, Ebaugh continues, is the plural godhead,
"El obi m ." It is the Elohim, he says, that is the "Creator God ."
We learn something very surpris-ing and "unique" from Ebaugh -Iha t
the Elohim is androgynous (containing both male and fe -male)! 1f
this sounds famili a r, it should. Every New Age group out there
teaches the androgynous na -ture of God!
The Elohim is further divided into three parts, according to
Ebaugh: Yahweh, El Shaddai and Eloah.
The teachings regarding Yahweh or Jehovah are some of Ebaugh's
most astonishing . YHWH is, Ebaugh says, the Tetragrammaton for
Jehovah or Adonai (Father). Jehovah is, he says, the masculine god
who came 422 years after El Shaddai . ll was El Shaddai, he said,
who formed the Levitical priesthood of Aaron . More as-

as I was cirected to do. though I have later seen books about
the Names of GOD. The next answer is a surprise to many people, but
there is a difference between the words 'Je-sus' and 'Christ.'
Jesus describes a man who was born of the virgin Mary. Christ
describes the anointing that came from God onto the man Jesus. But
the reason the distinction is so very important to note is because
that same anointing is prophesied to come upon the BODY OF CHRIST,
a many membered oroup, of which you and I are a part" MONARCt-\
Special large edition October 1983.
FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Jesus said on the cross "It is finished." Ebaugh, like other
Manifest Sons of God teachers maintains however that all was not
finished. According lo Ebaugh neither the Feast of Tabernacles nor
the Year of Jubilee has been fulfilled. In his three stages of
salvation, he says:
.. Jesus saved oar spirit al Passover. The Holy Spirit began
saving oar s.001 at Pentecost. Now we're expecting the Father to
in-ha bi t o ur bodies at the Feast of Tabernacles."
This is the equivalent to what Al-ice Bailey says is the
"Externali-sa lion of the Hierarchy ." She al-lernati vely calls
this the "mani-festation of the Sons of God" in her book THE
EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY.
I learned of the New Age interest in evangelical practice of the
Year of Jubilee and the Feast of Tabernacles from a New Age re-port
with the rather unassuming Li-lle of "An Evolutionary Basis for the
Reappearance of the Christ and his Executives, the Masters of
Wisdom." Jn it the writer, Ernest Ramsey, a Unity minister,
explained that lhe Neo-Penlecostal (translate Manifest Sons of God;
Sonship; Overcomers, etc .) equivalent of the Age of Aquarius was

Melchizidek (same as "Melchisedec" order were talk -ing, he
said, of a new world order, a new world monetary system, and a new
messiah.
Of his "New World Religion," Ebaugh says:
"THE NEW RELIGION (EL E LYON) will lead humanity to peace,
following Jesus, the High Priest after lhe order of Melchisedec. It
will require a separation from old religious orders."
In turns very much reminiscent of New Age Movement rationales
for a New World Religion, Ebaugh ex-plains:
"Rejection of Judaism, Roman Cathoicism and Protestantism on the
part of contem-porary society has been mostly because of the fabe
of the establshed religions to bmg significant social reforms,
especially, peace to men." ( pmctuatlon mai'ltaned as in
original)
NAMES OF Gn
In surely one of the more interest-ing experiences ever claimed
by a modern religious figure, Ebaugh says th a t "On November 6,
1981 a heavenly host appeared in the sky over Balli more, Maryland
with the command lo leach the dif -ferences between the Names of
God.''
Not since the angelic host ap-peared over Bethlehem to herald
the birth of Christ has since a star-studdcd spectacular occurred,
if Ebaugh is to believed . As I under -stand it the "host of heaven
" was not to appear until Christ's second coming!
What did Ebaugh's "host of heaven" appear to announce . They
appeared to announce we will have a different name for God, with a
different facet of
NEW AGE MONITOR
God . Purther, we are to have a very new and different "New
World Religi on."
While Yahweh (Jehovah) was, Ebaugh says the God of the three re
ligi ons of Judaism, Protes- tan -tism and R oman Catho li cism,
Yahweh is soon to be a " has be e n." El Elyon is, he continues,
the God o f the "New Religion."
While th e Bible says "I am the Lord, L change not," Ebaugh
says, by way of contradiction that "There is as much difference
between the natures of GOD named YAHWEH and EL ELYON as there has
been between JU -DAISM and CHRISTIANITY." (Emphasis is
Ebaugh's)
NEW WORLD RELIGION?
David Ebaugh clearly preaches the coming of a New Worlcl Reli
-gion that radically differs from Christianity:
' ' Q. A preacher told me that you should never had said that
the GOD of the NEW RELIGION is EL ELYON. He said it would have been
better to have said, 'The GOD of the NEW MOVE Is EL EL YON.' The
idea Is that Christianity could embrance [sic, should probably be
"embrace") the Idea of a NEW MOVE oot the idea of a NEW RELIGION is
repulsive.
"A. I a(i5ee. I gave much concern lo what you said.
''The only answer I can find right now is that the message Is
for the whole world. People who are dedicated to a strongly
structured Christianity won't be able to embrace much of it anyway.
So. perhaps if they are of-fended at the term NEW RELIGION, then it
could be best tor them to hear It right away
and not try lo cover it up.
No RAPTURE?
While C hristi a ns o ften disagree upon the liming of lhe
events of l Thessalonians 4:13 -18, they usually do agree that
those events will take place . That p assage reads:
Page 5
''But I would not have you to be ignorant. brethren, concerning
them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not. even as others which
have no hope. For If we beleve that Jesus ded and rose agah. even
so them also which sleep in Jesus will God b mg with tWn. For this
we say 1.W1to you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
AND remain 1.W1to the conW'lg of the Lord shall not pre-vent them
which are asleep. For the Lord twnself shaH descend from heaven
with a shout with the voice of the archange~ and the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shaU rise ftrst: Then we which are alive AND
remain shaM be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord
Wherelore comfort one another with these words.
Ebaugh removes that comfort with these words:
"To me, the beauty of the NEW AGE Blble study shows that our GOD
has plans for a lot better NEW AGE here on this EARTH than Is the
PRESENT AGE In which we have to live. But, to some erroneous minds,
the idea of a NEW AGE HERE ON EARTH ruins their hope of a so called
'rapture' to HEAVEN. Those people don't want to think of a NEW AGE
here on EARTH. Because of the tribulation of the END TIMES they
want to find a fire escape to HEAVEN . .. . If Chris-tians start
looking for the BIBLE'S NEW AGE, then many of them will stop lookng
for the erroneous 'rapture.' ... The idea of being 'raptured' up to
HEAVEN is ncompatible with the idea, of ruling and reigiing here on
EARTH.
Da vid Ebaugh, I could not have said it better myself! The iclea
or being 'raptu red ' up to heaven is incompatible with the idea of
rul -ing and reigning here on earth! Of cou rs e, with people the
likes of Dav id Eba ugh around, it is a !so quite conceivable that
we shall not avoid all tribul a ti on.
One can argue pre - trib, mid-trib, a nd post - trib and find
apparent Biblical support for th e positi o n. But when one gets
into amillenial and post - milleni a l positions, such as those
taken by Ebaugh, he is subscribing lo the same belief structure as
th a t of the New Agers, whether one knows it or not. This position
strips God of sovereignty and instead vests it in mankind . Indeed,
what New Agers and Mani-
-
February, March, 1986
fest Sons of God people and Post-millenialists all have in
common is a teaching that WE - not God - bring in the kingdom. And
since God has good friends like David Ebaugh saying that what they
are doing is ushering in "God's New Age" - not "The World's New
Age," why does God need enemies. Such "friends" are stealing God's
kingship in the name of the Lordi Who should we believe, David Eba
ugh or the Apostle Pa u I. I opt for the Apostle Paull I am certain
that God does as well!
EBAUGH TEACHES PllOOJlESSJVE REVELATION
The New Agers teach the doctrine of constant evolution or
"pro-gressive revelation. The "Chris-tianized" version of this is
called "Process Theology" in liberal Protestant and Catholic
churches. ,,
Like the New Agers, Ebaugh teaches a form of pro1re11ive
revelation. One example of this appears in his October 1983
MONARCH. Ebaugh, in this case, used an article entitled "NE-HUSHT
AN." This is the Hebrew word for the brazen serpent God ordered
Moses to make during one of the water crises in the 40 years Israel
wandered in the wilderness. After the people of God m ur-mured, an
angry God sent fiery serpents as punishment. Many died . After the
chastened Is-raelites begged God for forgive -ness, God instructed
Moses to shape a brass serpent and put it on a pole . Those with
snake bites were to look at the snake on the pole to live . Ebaugh
rightfully says that this foreshadowed Jesus. However, he uses the
later idolatry of Is-raelites in worshipping this brass serpent to
subtly justify his doc -trines of progressive revelation:
"We are in a difficult place be-
NEW AGE MONITOR
cause it is the people God has most currently given new
revela-tion to that ususally have the hardest time accepting
further troth. History bears this out. Nearly every fifty years
since Luther a new mo'f'e of God has appeared and has been
perse-cuted by the move before it.' 1
Even more significantly, he ap-pears to use such teachings to
ridicule the cross. Paul said, "to them who perish, the teaching of
the cross is foolishness." We were told to glory in the cross. And
yet, Ebaugh says the idolatrous actions of the Israelis in
worshipping the Moses-fashioned serpent consti-tuted worshipping a
past move of God . "A Nehushtan is a past move of God that has
become an idol," he concludes. To illustrate the point, he has one
of his cute car-toon figures kneeling before a cross. Ebaugh
says:
"If you know someone who wor-1hi ps J esu1 on the cross. then it
is possible for the cross to become a NEHUSHTAN for that
person."

THE NEW RELIGION HAS A GOD CONSCIOUSNESS OF EL ELYON.
In conclusion, Ebaugh teaches New Age Movement doctrines of
progressive revelation, a Christ other than Jesus, multiple gods
other than the Trinity, and Human Potential concepts of
"conscious-ness." Additionally, he teaches the coming of a New
World Religion and a New World Order - this adds up to one thing
and one thing only - New Agel It is fully "New Age" - both in the
sense of "The World's New Age Movement" and the New Age Movement of
the apostasy that has so permeated Christendom today .
The following is a tape made by Eustace Mullins and circulated
in various Identity circles about the country. I will have my
re-ply to this in next month's MONITOR. Suffice it to say, I was
most pleasantly surprised to learn that I make "vast amounts of
money" . Friends who brought me a copy of this article reprinted in
T . Tupper Saussy's MAIN STREET JOURNAL said they actually came to
ask , me for a loan because Eu-stace Mullins said I made more money
a year than the $375,000 he claims is the budget of Lucis Trust! If
Mullins gels washed up in New Age and political circles, he has a
great ca-reer facing him in com-edy!
Until I confronted Eustace
Page 7
Mullins with his obvious New Age expressions of belief, he was
praising my books. No doubt he was not praising them as a sincere
expression of belief, but because he knew the Jew-ish community was
watch -ing him I ike a ha wk, par-ticularly after his 1984 primer
for the Aryan Na-tions. By praising me, he could both lull
Christians to sleep on the extreme anti-Christ nature of his
materials and have Jews brand my warnings against the New Age
Movement as another form of anti -Semitism . In a special
hard-bound presentation copy Eustace Mullins sent to a fan in
Vancouver, he included the following typed note :
"There is considerable information on Canada in THE WORLD
ORDER,. Also referenced Stephen Knight's Brotherhood and Constance
Cum bey's ex-cellent and timely works. Bible prophecy will be taken
up in a f orthcom iog volume. There was not enough room for it in
this book.''
We just learned that Ev-erett Sileven is also mail-ing out
Eustace Mullins' tapes attacking me. Addi-tionally, Sil even who
has been speaking at CAUSA conventions is having Mullins to his
church to speak at his conference . The tapes Sileven is circu-1 a

that his only mention of the Aquarian Age had been a

Sileven and I have long had dif-ferences over his working the
Moonies and the Iden-tity Movement. Sez newsletter
Sil even asks the
question "ls Constance Cumbey a hoax?" He of-fers Mullins' tape
and calls it "well-documented." . Ev-idently, Everett Sileven is
becoming more and not less pronouncedly militant about both his
Unification church alli a nces and anti-sem i tic activities. This
is highly unfortunate. At one time, I considered Pastor Sileven to
be a friend .

THE BIG LiE ,_
TECHNIQUE OF CONSTANCE CUMBEY
by Eustace Mullins
"When a flea or mosquito bites a human, it is more than an
irritant; there is the danger of infection, such as yellow fever,
bubonic plague, or AIDS. The human par-asite can be just as
dangerous to your health. One year ago, under the auspices of
Tupper Saussy, I made my first public appearance in many years.
Doring the ensu -ing twelve months. I have reached millions of
people with radio, TV and personal appearances."
NEW AGE MONITOR
"The inevitable reaction came from the sewers of power.
Viru-lent counterattacks were made by sttoges, the principal
vehicle being one Constance Cumbey, a curious. nibbling type of
crea -ture. I bad never heard of her, and when I read her books, I
found them a strange mixture of nonsense, fantasy, delusion, and.
deliberate misrepresentation of facts."
"PLANNED DECEPTION (an apt title for any Cumbey work), 1985,
contains an episode worthy of a Stephen King horror movie . On page
4, Cum bey says that when she moved out of a building, THE ELEVATOR
STOPPED RUN-NING! Most of her writing attains this level, but never
surpasses it."
"On page 95, Cumbey resolves that Henry Ford is an 'occultist '
because he waws a friend of Thomas Edison, whom she claims was a
Theosophist. In fact, F ord and Edison, both being very busy men,
spent only a few hours to -gether in their entire lives, Edison
apparently devoting this brief pe -riod, according to Cumbey, in in
-doctrinating Ford with Theoso -phy."
"Cumbey herself seems to be an 'occul list,' because she
believes in 'hidden meanings.' She denounced my mentor, Ezra Pound,
as a Theosophist, and when I told her that as Pound's authorized
biogra -pher, l had studied all his works and never found anything
promot -ing Theosophy, she declared very earnestly, 'Oh, it's in
there; you have to look for it."'

"On page 104 of HIDDEN DAN-GERS, she positively identifies Alice
Bailey as the high priestess of the New Age Movement, and goes on
for many pages denounc-ing the New Age as a Nazi move-ment, with
Bailey as the principal propagandist for Nazi themes. Apparently,
she has never read Al-ice Bailey's books."
"In her principal work, BE -TWEEN WAR AND PEACE, pub -lished in
I942 by Lucis Trust, Al -ice Bailey devotes many pages to frenetic
denunciation of Hitler and the entire Nazi movement. She defines
them as totally evil, enslavers of the human race, and representing
the forces of evil. In fact, Bailey's book espouses many of !he
same causes which Cum bey promotes: interracial understand -ing,
goodwill among mankind, and brotherhood. Alice Bailey sen! out
200,000 copies of her work, the Function of the New Group, which
calls for eradication of racial and class ha treds, promotion of
world brotherhood and goodwill. Bailey demands that her NEW GROUP
OF WORLD SERVERS eradicate racial hatreds and religious
dif-ferences. Bailey's frenetic anli -Nazism and her continuous
denun -ciations of Hitler would seem to disqualify her from the
title which Cumbey has bestowed on her 'the high priestess of
Nazism.' One can only wonder whether Cumbey actually does any
research into her subject mat -ter."
"Ever conscious of money, Cum -bey sends out continuous signals
to the Zionist propagandists and hate mongers that she is with them
. Her again, she engages in contra -diction. Her main thrust is her
at-tack on the Theosophists, without realizing what she is doing.
Spence's definitive work, THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF OCCULT, has this
definition of KABBALA:
NEW AGE MONITOR
'A Hebrew and Jewish system based on the Kabbala .' Another
definitive work, THE OCCULT IN AMERICA, by Howard Kerr, Uni
-versity of Illinois, 1983, does not mention Creme; Ilailey is
men-tioned EN PASSANT on page 30 with no further comment. Cum-bey
does not mention these definitive works in her bibliogra-phy."
"We now come to Cum bey's essay in criminal libel - her
newsletter, NEW AGE MONITOR, August 1986, in which she lies with
mali -cious intent to injure a Christian. She refused to send me a
copy, and as she only has 175 subscribers, it took me several
months to locate a copy of this issue in which she libels me."
"Its first sentence identifies Eu -stace Mullins as 'a major
propa-gandist for the Christian Identity movement .' This is LIE
NO. 1. In the millions of words I have pub-lished, I have never
written any -thing promoting Christian Identity, as l have never
researched it and do not know that much about it. LIE NO. 2: Cumbey
claims that 'spokesmen for others told me Mullins plainly lied to
them,' with no names given . LIE NO. 3: Cum -bey states ' Mullins
openly favors the Aquarian Age.' The fact is that in 35 years, I
made only one brief reference to the Aquarian Age, which was not
'favorable.' LIE NO. 4: Cumbey says that I 'fervently desire a New
World Or-der.' LIE NO. 5: Ilecause she is in-capable of doing
serious research, Cumbey concludes that my reve -la lions about the
present world or -der identify me as an insider with this world
order. She is too simple to understand that I have re-searched for
35 years into the ramifications of the present world order. LIE NO.
6: She referes to Ezra Pound as a 'lifelong Theosophist' because of
thie 'hid -

den meanings' which she found in his work, and which remain
hidden to Pound scholars. LIE NO. 7: She refers to Eustace Mullins'
ex-treme occultist.' I have written millions of words about banking
and politics, and in three current bestselling books, there is no
ref -erence to occultistm . LIE NO. 8: Cum bey states that I openly
advo -cate a cashless system. I have never written one word
advocating a cashless system ; in all of my work, I defend personal
funds and the right to spend them . LIE NO . 9: Cum bey refers to
'Mui Ii ns' own occult connections,' which exist only in her
delusions. I have never belonged to any occult organiza-tion. "
"Cumbey, an avaricious money -grubber, takes advantage of the
credulous dupes who buy her bo o ks and tapes and attend her
lectures. If people wa nt delusions, they pay for delusions. For 35
years, I have given my readers d o cumented

commits criminal malicious libel, which she will find is an expen
-sive prank."
"Curnbey's skillful coverup of the real danger is revealed by
her warning that the New Age Move -ment is the peril facing mankind
, while at the same time she con -ceals from her dupes that the
'New Age' is the slogan of Freemasonry. She tells her audi -ences
that the Masons have been 'persecuted' because of
'disinfor-mation.' When her readers wrote lo inquire if she knew
that the Scot -tish Rite of Freemasonry has con -tinually published
a magazine en -titled NEW AGE since 1904, she refused to answer
them."

PAT ROBERTSON
Some readers may be offended by my scrutiny of television
talk-show host, would-be United Stales president Pat Robertson.
Since Pat Robertson has never held public office this scrutiny is
absolutely essential. He has no voting record whereby the potential
sup-porter/voter can check his consis-tency . Therefore, all that
remains are his words and his actions. We have found many
disturbing evi-dences that he has followed a course of being "al I
things to all people ." When he is called on his inconsistencies,
he will usually point to a positive declaration he made on a matter
at a given time, ignoring the numerous evidences of contrary stands
he has taken. If these remarks were put on trial, and the contrary
posi lions were pointed out, il would be the equiv -alent of
"impeaching the wit -ness" in legal parlance. The judge will
instruct a jury that if they found a witness lo be successfully
impeached, that goes to the issue of credibility and they are free
lo disregard any or all of that wit -ness' testimony .
NEW AGE MONITOR
A CRYSTAL CONNECTION?
Pat Robertson graphically de -scribed the decor and arrangement
of his old chapel on page 214 of his autobiography, SHOUT IT PROM
THE HOUSETOPS:
"Located just to the right of the front entrance, the chapel was
alive with symbolic meaning. Everything in the room forced
attention heavenward. A hand -carved cross was suspended in the
middle of the room over an uncut boulder of white crystal rock.
There was no pulpit, only three concentric rows of circular benches
ringing the central point so that all who entered would know that
Christ was the center, the rock upon which CBN rested."
Again, the crystal boulder is men-tioned on the secontl to last
page (254) of Robertson's book. The reference reminds one of shades
of HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL:
"Lale that evening, I sat alone in the quiet prayer chapel. My
eyes moved from the dark red carpel to the uncut crystal boulder in
the center of the room, lo the Bible that lay on lop of it, and on
up to the suspended wooden cross. The door leading out lo the lobby
was closed, and I fell the pres-ence of the Holy Spirit permeate
every corner of the room. .. I slipped off the circular bench and
knell before the big while and gray rock whose lousands of facets
gently sparkled, reflect -ing the soft light from the ceil -ing.
Over my bead was the cross, and directly in front of me was the
open Bible."
SIGNIFICANCE OF CRYSTALS IN OCCULT
A recent New Age book, THE
Page 10
CRYSTAL CONNF.CTION: A Guidebook. for Personal and Planetary
Ascension by Randall N. Baer and Vicki Baer (New York: Harper &
Row, 1986) intro-duces the subject (page 3) by say-ing:
"Crystallinity is the code of creation . The foundational
essence and structure of al 1 manifestation is its crystal 1 i ne
ordering, which spans all of existence, from the subatomic
microcosmic levels to the megadimensional macrocosmic levels or
reality. The precise exactitude of essence and form inherent in
each en-ergetic unit throughout the Universal Mind derives from,
and is sustained by, causal code-patterns of Ugh t. These code
patterns of Intelligence precipitate as crystallization structures
as they are ex-tended into the expanses of creation, therein
functioning ns templates or highly ordered stability through which
their imprinted Light-blueprint is en-acted in manifestation . The
entire om-niverse is founded and sustained by a network of
interdimensionally intercon-nected crystalline code-patterns that
function as the fundamental coordinat-ing blueprints for all
vibrational inter-actions throughout the Universal Mind . This
all-encompassing network is termed the Universal Energy Network
(UEN> ."
"The uncut crystal is the symbol and talisman of those in the
metaphysical movement. They wear them on their fingers or slung
around their necks; as ear-rings, broaches and paperweights.
Channels use cr.Ystals to align themselves when going into trance;
followers use them to capture the energy of the en -tity." (Quoted
from Easy Reader: Reflections from The South Bay, January 22, 1987;
Published weekly al 1233 Hermosa Avenue, P.O. Box 726, Hermosa
Beach, CA 90254-0726.
Now maybe we could give Pal Robertson the benefi l of the doubt
and decide that maybe he just likes pretty rocks. But before we do,
we should review some of his past statements regarding vibra
-tional patterns and energy .
-
February, March, 1986
In 1984, before the days that I started video-taping the 700
Club, my son, my former secretary were all watching Pat Robertson's
pro-gram. We were startled to hear Pat Robertson say that we were
all like radio stations in that we threw out vibrations. If we were
happy and thinking positive thoughts, he continued, we sent out
positive vi-brations. If we were, on the other hand, thinking
negatively, we sent out bad vibrations. Thal is why, he said, we
shudder around some peo-ple and like to be around others -it all
had to do with the vibrations they were emitting as a result of
their thought patterns.
My son, a budding stand-up come-dian brought our house down when
he asked everybody gathered, "am I AM or FM?"
Furthermore, in Robertson's 1985 book, BEYOND REASON in a
chapter entitled "Who Can Con-trol the Forces of Nature?" he
says:
"Perhaps the reason so few peo-ple see miracles in their lives
is their ignorance of the way power is lfCtivated in the universe.
God s power underlies all reality. The material world as we see 1t
consists of atoms and subatomic particles, which we further learn
are composed of energy in the form of electrons and neutrons. Io
other words, matter is merely a form of energy. The great para-dox
is that what we perceive as real and tangible is actually an i II
usioo. The rea Ii ty is energy; and behind eovrgy is the spiritual
power of God. '
THE LIBERTY LOBBY CONNECTION
If I were struggling for worcls to describe SPOTLIGHT MAGA-ZINE,
LJIJERTY LOBBY, and their related operations, and wanted to do so
in relatively po-lite terms, the very nicest thing I would be able
to call them is "New Age" . I have learned that
NEW AGE MONITOR
their editor, Vincent Ryan has openly and ecstatically uescribed
his out- of - body experiences and belief in astral projection. He
was active in Washington, D.C. holistic health circles, as
well.
The reason 1 say "New Age" is the nicest thing I can say about
them is that their founder, Willis Carlo has been known to chair
meetings with the Horst Wessel (Nazi marching son) playing in the
background amidst a backdrop of swastikas adorning the walls. They
are best known for their denials Iha l the holocaust took place.
Noontide Press (also a Willis Carlo operation) appears to
spe-cialize in books about what a great guy Hi lier was! Convicted
members of The Order, an Aryan Nations offshoot implicated in the
killing of Denver talk show host Alan Berg used a Noontide Press
book for a hand book on how to stage guerilla warfare, accord-ing
to the new book on the killing TALKED TO DEATH by Stephen Singular
(1987). Recently, Noon-tide Press has added books by Ezra Pound (an
old-time New Ager and Nazi-Fascist sympathizer), and, of course,
Eustace Mullins.
SPOTLIGHT personnel such as Tricia Kattson, their legislative
were becoming very concerned about my opposition to them.
Par-ticularly, they appeared to be so concerned because they have
been attempting to give the impression they in the vanguard of
opposition to the New World order in hopes of attracting those
anti-New Age Movement activists to their camp - an even uglier
division of the New Age Movement. Tricia Katt-son denied to me that
the SPOT -LIGHT had ever denied the exis-tence of the Holocaust and
sug-gested that if l had evidence of that type, I had a duty to
present it to her. Incredulous that somebody with their
organization would
Page 11
deny a fact that obvious, I invited her to Pointe's booth at
National Religious Broadcaster's to see ev-idence of ties between
the New Age Movement and anti-Semitic organizations about the
country . She asked for a time and I sug-gested an appointment for
4:00 p.m. on Monday, February 2, 1987. She asked if it would be
alright if they sent a Mr. Cornelius Vander -breggen instead . I
said that would be fine . Just as I was leaving for lunch Mr.
Vanderbreggen, a very courtly, fine-appearing elderly gentleman
stopped by the booth and said he would be back to meet with me at
4:00 p.m. - he just wanted to introduce himself.
Truthfully, I forgot about the ap-pointment and ran into friends
from Kansas City, joining them for coffee, I did not return to the
booth until 4:15 p.m. Cornelius Vanderbreggen was there waiting for
me . After the usual pleas-antries, which included showing me and
Joe Carr (author of THE TWISTED CROSS who was also visiting
POINTE'S BOOTH, he told me he was concerned about Pat llrooks and
wanted to know what l knew about her. He quickly learned that I
knew plenty . (I be-lieve Mr. Vanderbreggen was "scoping me out" as
THE SPOT-LIGHT obviously supports Mrs. Pat Brooks, author of
several anti-Semitic books which proclaim a belief in the content
of the Theo-sophical circula led, spurious PRO-TOCOLS OF THE
LEARNED ELDERS OP ZION and contain representations that the
holocaust never occurred and claims that Moscow is governed from
Tel Aviv! He wanted to know what I knew about the Identity
Move-ment. (Again, SPOTLIGHT has given obvious support to Identity
personnel and organizations, and Identity groups openly advertise
in THE SPOTLIGHT. I asked Van-derbreggen's opinions on THE
-
February, March, 1986
PROTOCOLS after telling him of the evidence Iha I they were put
into circulation by activists in the THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. l told
him historian James Webb's opin-ion which was that there was some
evidence that Mauame Blavatsky (founder of the Theosophical So
-ciety) may have taken a personal role in their composition.
Yanderbreggen told me he be -lieved the PROTOCOLS OF ZION were
genuine and explained what had happened in the world over the past
century - what he be -lieved to be a Zionist/Jewish con
-spiracy!
He then began to play both what l call mind games and word games
anu l finally felt as though I had had enough. I decided that
either he or I was going lo have to leave Pointe's booth, and it
wasn't going to be m e because I had loo much sensitive material
there I did not wish to leave for his perusal. I was starting to
stand up to ask him to please leave when I had an as -tounding
experience, which caused me to change my mind .
I am not big on supernatural expe -rience. But this day, I
knowingly had the closest thing I have ever had to a full - fledged
vision. Just as I started to rise to ask Vander -breggen to leave
our booth, l was staring at the color cover and pages - as though i
I were a large cardboard blowup of Pat Robert -son's biography,
SHOUT IT FROM THE HOUSETOPS. Simultaneous with that appearing to
me, (1 was wide awake at the lime) Yander -breggen said that he
made re-peated trips between Holland and the United States. I then
immedi-ately recalled a statement a Port Townsend, Washington
minister had made to me a few days that he sure wished more about
Dutchman who
he could "learn that mysterious was supposed to
NEW AGE MONITOR
have led Pat Robertson to the Lord." Immediately upon seeing the
"blown - up" book, hearing Vanderbreggen's statement about his
trips to Holland, and recalling the Port Townsend , Washington re
-mark, I said lo Mr. Vanderbreggen, "Your name is familiar lo me ."
He said, "oh?" I continued, "I know your name from somewhere other
than "SPOTLIGHT MAGA -ZINE" and Liberty Lobby."
Again, Mr. Vanderbreggen said "oh?"
I then asked him, "Are you, by any chance, mentioned in SHOUT lT
FROM THE HOUSETOPS?" He very proudly replied "Yes, I am ." I said,
"You're the Dutchman who led Pal Robertson to the Lord ."
"Yes, I am" he replied, "but he lied about one thing - he said I
was tall and handsome, but I'm not tall and handsom e."
Joe Carr, who was silting on the edge of the booth trying to
look indifferent later said he wondered what was going on. "All at
once," Joe said, "you retracted your claws and turned on the charm
." Vanderbreggen knew exactly what was in Pal Robertson's book and
was extremely proud of it, leaving me to believe that perhaps Pat
Robertson's representation in Iha t book that be had never seen Van
-derbreggen after their joint expe-rience at an lnterVarsity camp
in Canada where Vanderbreggen was teaching might not be completely
accura le . l had read SHOUT IT FROM THE HOUSETOPS thor -oughly in
the past, but had never dwelt on Yanderbreggen's name, especially
since Robertson said he ha

part of the lightening noose de-veloping around orthodox
religious throats worldwide, as New Agers unite to "form a planet
of peace."
Those of you who read my recent article on melanin, a substance
that the New Agers believe could help "inoculate the world's
peo-ple against warlike tendencies" will remember seeing the name
Joseph Goldin. It was Goldin who made the statement on the August
5, 1984 New Age holiday, World War JV that "there is global
precedence for what we want to do. We inoculated everybody in the
world against smallpox and thus eradicated that disease planet
wide. How much more important would it be for us to give some-body
something that would eradi-cate war planet-wide?" It could well be
that melanin will be the substance of the prophesied "mark of the
beast." My doctor informs me that excess melanin causes melanoma -
a deadly skin cancer.
In 1982 Jim Channon told a New York writer I spoke with that the
First Earth Battalion and Task Force Delta were computer net-worked
with officers behind the Iron Curtain. They were, he said, using
the Esalen lnsti lute of Big Sur, California as a conduit. It
ap-pears, in turn, that Goldin is a con-duit Esalen is using to
reach the Soviet government. OMNI MAGA-ZINE, itself an important
New Age publication says of Esalen and Goldin:
"One reason for Esalen's success in gelling candidates like
Tellington-ones into Russia is an enigmatic individual named Joseph
Goldin. When Hickman [of Esalenl met Goldin, a Soviet researcher,
the latter was the sci-entific secretary for the Com-mission on the
Complex Study of
NEW AGE MONITOR
Man .... Goldin had worked with a Bulgarian scientist [this must
be Georgi Lozaoov, referred to kindly by Denis Waitley and the
founder of the Lozaoov Learn-ing Method] whose use of music,
meditation and and sleep sugges-tion for accelerated learning bas
been copied worldwide .... A U.S. diplomat calls Goldin 'the
mys-tery man of Moscow' because of his uncanny ability to penetrate
Moscow's stonewall bureaucracy. 'I am a neutrino,' Goldin
ex-plains. 'l have no weight or mass, so I can pass through walls.'
lo fact, Goldin is short and stocky and deals with bureaucratic
ob-stacles more like a T-34 tank than a neutrino."
Now it appears tha l Joseph Goldin is active in another activity
that closely parallels Revelation prophecy the "SPACE BRIDGE"
program .
SPACE BRIDGES
Goldin would like to see the earth inter-linked with a series of
"space bridges." Of this project, OMNI Magazine says:
"Goldin's way to shale the earth is through a web of giant
screen space-bridges linking peoples all over the world .
Spacebridge stations would use al I of the consciousness- ral~i ng
tech-niques of the bu man potential move-ment. Instead of small
groups of people meditating for peace, Goldin envisions millions
meditating together via satel-lite simulcasts, instead or cigl1t-to
ten-person encounter groups . Golden talks about a planet-size
encounter group united by space- based technology." (continued in
April, 1987 MONI-TOR)
UPDATE IN BRIEF Seattle New Age debate
draws 5,000
Interest in the New Age Movement has "broken loose" so to speak
in Seattle. Coordinators and friends
Page 13
Angie Schiermeyer, Marie Pisher, Tom Acheson and others have
done a herculean task in seeing that the Seattle area was inrormed
and fi-nally their efforts have borne fruit. Five thousand
spectators tried to jam a hall where a New Ager challenged me to a
public debate. This took place on the evening of January 22, 1987,
the same week as the Shirley Maclaine mini-series. All local me-dia
were in attendance, including all Seattle television stations and
associ-ated press reporter. Even the New Age paper conceded we had
won the debate and offered excuses why that was so. We are
encouraged! As a re-sult of the widespread public re-sponse to that
debate, I was asked to take part in a program that Seattle station
KOMO was doing on the New Age Movement on February 15, 1982. There,
I was confronted with an obvious demonic apparition - Penny Torres
of Southern California chan-neling an "entity" ca ll ing itself
"MAFU." Nearly 1000 jam med this ticket-only event. KOMO rented the
University of Washington hall for the occasion because of the
over-whelming interest in the subject. Now, thanks to God, nearly
everybody in Seattle knows the issues on the New Age Movement and
why it is incompatible with orthodox Chris-tianity.
All of this came up so f asl - both the debate and the KOMO
appear-ance that it did not appear on my itinerary. The travel has
not helped me get the newsletters out in a timely fashion either! J
am going to have to invest in a laptop computer that is truly
portable to help remedy these deficiencies as it looks as though my
road schedule will not slow down in the appreciable future, God
willing!
MARILYN FERGUSON
Years ago, anti-Com monist activist Fred Schwartz wrote a book
which I never read, but the title intrigued and
-
February, March, 1986
stuck with me. It was called You CAN TRUST A COMMUNIST TO Ill~ A
COMMUNIST. Evidently, you can trust a non-repentant New Ager to be
a New Ager as well. l have learned a valuable lesson - and I am
thankful that I never went to Marilyn Fergu-son's house alone. I
have seen Mari-lyn four times in my life: The first was when I went
with my secretary to watch her speak at Detroit's Unity Temple
shortly after l returned from taping my first Southwest Raclio
Church series in June 1982. We ex-changed some relatively harsh
words that evening and she followed up the occasion by surprising
me with a fairly conciliatory leller. The second occasion was
initialed by her then administrative assistant Anita Storey. That
took place, I believe, when she spoke in Windsor in spring, 1984. A
great deal of controversy had sur-rounded her visit and the WINDSOR
STAR had withdrawn its sponsorship of her tour after one of its
reporters spoke with me. Ten other prom inenl sponsors remained for
her, including the Archdiocese of Windsor, but the damage was done
as CDC invited me to do an interview on Marilyn Ferguson and the
New Age Move -ment the morning of the day she was to speak. As l
was leaving to go hear her, I was surprised to receive a tele
-phone call from her secretary, asking if I would agree to meet
with Mari -lyn while she was in the Detroit -Windsor metropolitan
area.
I dicl agree to the meeting and drove to the 8:30 breakfast
meeting held in the restaurant of her hotel, the Windsor Hilton.
The waitress serving our table surprised both of us by telling us
that she had read and en-joyed THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW. I
gained interesting insights into the New Age minclset during that
meeting. There was no animosity displayed by either at that
meeting, but 1 extended the same concern to her that I do to all in
the New Age Movement - I tolcl her that if she knew the half of
what
J}
NEW AGE MONITOR
she was rea l ly into, she would bo lt in horror. She expressed
dismay and shock at a great deal of facts I shared with her. She
had been given gorgeous roses at the event the evening before, and
insisted on leav-ing them with me. I accepted the gift in the
spirit in which it was given.
The next time I was to hear from Ms. Ferguson's staff occurred
in early August, 1984. I was home re -covering from a painful root
canal. On Friday afternoon, August 3, 1984, my phone rang. It was
Marilyn Fer-guson's sec - relary slating that the New Age planned
"planetary holiday World War IV" would be celebrated at Marilyn
Ferguson 's house in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 5th. Would l
care to attend? She further told me that many of the person a li
-ties I had written about would be there and I coulcl meet them
person -ally. l told Ms. Storey that it was aw -fully short notice
. I would con f er with my publisher and gel back to them .
Thereafter, I laid out my little fleece for the Lord which was that
if I had to pay nothing I would con-sider it a sign that He wanted
me there. I called Huntington House and spoke to Bill Keith,
President. He called me back, excitedly, and said that both he and
co - owner Richard Trosclair thought it terribly impor-tant that I
be there and they would be happy to cover my expenses and pre-pay
my airline ticket. They made flight arrangements for me to leave
Saturday afternoon, the fol-lowing day on Republic airlines. I
thereupon callecl co - researchers, San Jose resident Sylvia
Beadleston ancl Betty Willman of Palos Verdes, Cal -ifornia, a Los
Angeles suburb. Both agreed to attend the event with me and Betty
ancl David Will man gra -ciously housed Sylvia and l for the
weekend. The afternoon of August 5th was educational to say the
least. Still suffering from the root canal, I nearly forgot the
pain when l en -countered a Campus Crusade for
Page 14
Christ activist who was directed hy Marilyn Ferguson to show me
about her premises. He told me that he be-lieved Buddha and Lao Tzu
were "great teachers" but, of course, Jesus was the greatest! I
told him that with all due respect, I believed the Apos-tle Paul
was a little more on the money when he said that those who
worshipped idols worshipped devils! The same man told me when l
com-plained of jet lag that there were hypnosis tapes I could buy
and I isten to on the plane that would eliminate that problem.
The third (and last) time I saw Mari-lyn Ferguson, I was
visiting Marilyn Bender, a Christian friend in Orange County,
California. I went there to collect information on the shepherd
-ing and discipleship movements and Christian networking with the
Moonies in Washington, D.C. Because Marilyn Ferguson had made
several telephone calls to me to make in -quiries after she read my
second book, I concluded she was legiti-mately searching for the
truth. Mar-ilyn Bender and I decided to call her while I was in her
local area. To our surprise, she invited the two of us over lo
spend an afternoon with she and her family . That event was re
-counted in the last MONITOR. Their behavior was very cordial. I
took Hal Lindsay's newest book, COMBAT FAITH, which discusses the
New Age Movement to Marilyn Ferguson as a "hostess gift." Marilyn
and her hus-band, Dr. Raymond Gottlieb asked Marilyn Bender how she
became a Christian and both appeared to be very moved as she gave
her testi-mony. I spent a great deal of time informing Marilyn and
her husband (who is Jewish) about anti- semitic aspects of the New
Age Movement. They appearecl to be seriously listen -ing.
Now for the New Age "double -whammy". I was called by friends
while I was recently speaking in Phoenix, Arizona and told I
should
-
February, March, l986
pick up the newest MAGICAi. Bt.F.ND magazine. ln an article
entitled "MARILYN FERGUSON: A Tour de Force", I learned that J had
done events with Marilyn in Los Angeles, had a dinner with her
(there was no such dinner) and evidently was one of her closest
buddies. l also learned something that she had previously denied to
me - that she listens to "voices." She had expressed concern to me
about other activists in the New Age Movement who did this on the
day that Marilyn Bender and I were there. I called Marilyn
Fergu-son upon my return from Phoenix and she tells me she was
seriously misquoted - the portion where she said "she was extremely
affection-ate," she said she had told the inter-viewer that she had
said their parrot "Gulliver" was extremely affec-tionate to me.
That would have been a true statement - their parrot did not want
to leave my shoulder, but many animals behave that way with me - I
sometimes seem to have better luck with animals than peo-ple!
Supposedly, Marilyn Ferguson is writing MAGICAL BLEND maga-zine a
letter to make them retract what she says are wrong quotes. J don't
know what the truth is, but I do know that I have never felt such
white-hot anger as I felt when I read the foregoing passages. I am
happy I did not go to Marilyn Ferguson's home without Christian
witnesses, and I suggest tha I if you meet with New Agers, you do
the same, until such ti me as they do renounce and turn their back
on the movement. Before people break with the New Age Movement they
are under the control of what the Bible calls "se-ducing spirits"
and you may rest as-sured those spirits will not be ethical, nor
can the people be who are lis -tening to them:
" nie perscr1 v.tic> o.JtMites tti> mer- lstei'lQ has tte
co.rage aid tte c:.tscir:*-e to keep dci'lg ....tat Iha.mer vok:es
saf to do, evai if it SOOT6 v.tecka
Marilyn Ferguson reportedly also told the interviewer:

"the secTet to success is attentioq to this inneT voice. 'There
is not, she says emphatically, 'some e.xter-nal rule out there."
'
Now for the part of the article that upset me the most and the
one that Marilyn Ferguson claims is a mis-quote:
