————————————————————————————————————————Abstract: Terms such as the New Age and similar expressions are used to express a particular form of ethical or “theological” doctrine stated in the writings of Alice A. Bailey. The terms used by Bailey and others are, at this time, being, and they will continue to be, altered. However, the concepts expressed within her theology have not and will not be altered. These concepts are the major concern of this investigation.
Many manifestations of this theology are covert. The covertly controlled individuals or organizations often us different code words, deny that they are associated with “diabolic” forces; but, they do promulgate the same materialistic Bailey philosophy. As one example, organizations that attempt to build, create, or produce “God’s kingdom” on earth are often covertly controlled by Bailey’s god and claim no association with other such groups that overtly follow Bailey’s theology.

The overt manifestations tend to vary but still follow the patterns dictated by Bailey. For example, consider the emphasis today upon various “psychic” endeavors. These are all associated, covertly or overtly, with Bailey’s theology. This doctrine, in whole or in part, has exceptional appeal and is being embraced by many individuals and organizations who are being deceived relative to its true intent. Those individuals most likely to accept portions, if not all, of Bailey’s doctrine are those who believe in “psychic” powers, where such powers are considered as either relative to spirit beings or produced by extranatural processes not associated with spirit beings. Further, the liberal Christian community will consider Bailey’s supernaturalism as harmless and will tend to embrace this Bailey doctrine since it affirms the concepts of “ecumenicalism” or the belief that all theologies are converging to a universe doctrine. The atheistic community considers Bailey’s supernaturalism as harmless and is embracing Bailey’s concepts due to her desire to destroy orthodox religions, in general, and use their resources for, what she considers to be, the “true” benefit of humankind. Due to Bailey’s dislike for orthodox Judaism and conservative Christianity, her theology will be accepted by many Moslems for this specific reason. Since the technical aspect of her theology is based upon Buddhism and Hinduism, individuals who assert these beliefs are easily converted to the Bailey mysticism. Those individuals who are the least likely to accept Bailey’s New Age theology are orthodox Jewish and conservative Christians who accept the Bible in its fundamental first century interpretation.

Due to the factors stated above, it is important that the public be made aware of the true nature of the Bailey “theology.” Using the writings of the founder of the New Age theology, a theology that is purposely disguised through application of code words, it is shown in this article that this theology is, in all of its variations, absolutely occult in character and leads to one of the most evil forms of demonic possession. This theology is designed to prepare humankind for the “appearance,” in one form or another, of the Antichrist. Some of the actual methods used to produce such demon possession are discussed. It is established that the true leader of the New Age movement, Bailey’s god, is the Scripturally defined Adversary (Satan) and that the “prayer” entitled “The Great Invocation” is actually a satanic invocation designed to call forth the Antichrist.
