Add to that, the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, Franz Anton Mesmer, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, Napoleon Hill, Ralph Wado Emerson, Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, and Annie Besant and it no surprise to see how the new age movement has infilitrated all aspects of modern society and culture. 1 EMANUEL SWEDENBORG 4 2 FRANZ ANTON MESMER 6 3 THE MASONIC INFLUENCE 8 4 HELENA BLAVATSKY 12 5 ALICE BAILEY 17 6 THE GREAT INVOCATION 21 7 OCCULT MEDITATION 23 8 WESAK 25 9 ADDITIONAL APOSTLES AND MEDIUMS 27 MAITREYA THE COMING A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING AND WWW.GLOBALREPORT2010.COM ©2014, All rights reserved 3 MAITREYA THE COMING – PREPARING HIS COMING 1. EMANUEL SWEDENBORG One very influential man who laid a foundation that brought the world closer to the New Age era is Emanuel Swedenborg. He was a Swedish scientist and philosopher born in 1688. He was a brilliant man whose early life was devoted to becoming one of the greatest scientific minds of his time, and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he could have done so. His contributions to science have been significant, including a description which shows an understanding of the neuron far before anyone else understood the concept. Similarly to Leonardo da Vinci, he theorized on a great many concepts that he had no practical way of testing, including a flying machine. In 1741 Swedenborg’s life took a dramatic turn. Swedenborg, who had been focused on the sciences up until this point in his life, began to turn his thoughts to God and philosophy. In 1744, he began to have dreams and visions that alternated between frightening and exhilarating. He did not know how to interpret these dreams, and for six months or so he struggled internally with what to make of them. He was torn between his ambitions and what he felt was a call to devote his life to God. He recorded these struggles in a journal that he later published under the name Drömboken, or Journal of Dreams. In late October, 1744, he made a definitive turn away from his scientific career and instead began a journey to come to a greater understanding of God’s Word. His first work devoted to the Lord was an unfinished work named De Cultu et Amore Dei, or The Worship and Love of God. He claimed that the spiritual world had finally become accessible to him, and shortly he became consumed with his religious work. He had a burning desire to interpret the Word of God verse by verse for the benefit of the modern man. Through Swedenborg, the world would finally be able to understand the pattern and message as revealed in his visions and dreams. In 1747, he resigned from his post at the Swedish Board of Mines to work on this work, the Arcana Caelestia, or Secrets of Heaven. He studied languages and the Bible full time, and listened to the voices that fed him information. Until the time of his death, he wrote extensively on the topic, feeling that he had unraveled the secrets of the Old and New Testament and had the secrets of heaven. For 25 years, Swedenborg claims that he received messages from Jesus regarding the Lord’s judgment (which he claimed occurred in 1747). He also struggled about how to rightly understand the scriptures. He was a prolific writer until he died. Remember that we are told in 1 Timothy 4:1 that “the Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” Ironically, Swedenborg (who MAITREYA: THE COMING A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING AND WWW.GLOBALREPORT2010.COM ©2014, All rights reserved 4 MAITREYA THE COMING – PREPARING HIS COMING was very familiar with his Bible) was aware of the dangers of communicating in this mystical manner with unknown spirits. The famous seer of the eighteenth century, was well acquainted with the spirit world, having experienced detailed visions recorded later in book form. Nevertheless, he cautioned those courting the spirits: “When spirits begin to speak with a man, he ought to beware that he believes nothing whatever from them; for they say almost anything. Things are fabricated by them, and they lie... they would tell so many lies and indeed with solemn affirmation that a man would be astonished...if a man listens and believes they press on, and deceive, and seduce.” Despite being ostensibly Christian, Swedenborg did not believe that the Bible was a literal work, but rather a work of allegory that he personally had the keys to unlocking. He was privileged with this inside information due to his dealings with the spirit world. He also felt that faith in Jesus Christ was not required, nor was it sufficient to receive God’s grace. He claimed that an individual’s actions created the worship that would serve as the requirement for following the Lord’s plan. “Salvation is not dependent on the doctrinal specifics of the religion you have followed on earth. As long as you have lived a life acknowledging God and refraining from evil because it is against Him, you will be saved. Acknowledging God does not necessarily mean recognizing Him by name. A person can be ignorant of religion and still acknowledge God by living a life of goodwill. This is because the choices that we make on a daily basis are what determine whether we end up in heaven or hell. Yes, worshipping God is essential for admittance into heaven, but we worship Him through the actions of our lives.” Swedenborg’s direct influence has been strong. Some well-known and widely respected people read and were greatly swayed by his teachings, including such notables as William Blake, Helen Keller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Johnny Appleseed. Additionally Emanuel Swedenborg’s beliefs are followed by several groups today, including the General Church of the New Jerusalem, and the New Church, which is also known as simply the Swedenborgian Church. Swedenborg’s indirect sway over the spiritual beliefs of the world has been even more substantial. Many Christians today hold beliefs that directly echo the sentiments that Swedenborg expressed centuries ago. As we learn more, we will explore the growth of the New Age movement in part from these very teachings. Swedenborg’s claim that many paths might lead to salvation without acknowledging Jesus as the Savior has especially has been echoed the New Age movement in many different guises. Swedenborg’s work in the spirit realm via meditation was a direct influence on many who believe that mysticism is the path to enlightenment, from Blavatsky to Carl Jung. Emanuel Swedenborg turned from science to fully devote his time to his communion with the forces he spoke to beyond our natural realm. His was a truly spiritual point of view, but some of the predecessors of the New Age movement did not approach mysticism from a religious or metaphysical lens, but rather focused on either the secular or scientific implications of defining and interacting with the spirit world. While Swedenborg’s questions about the nature of the soul led him to abandon science, others, like Franz Anton Mesmer, felt that the answer to these questions was truly a scientific one. MAITREYA THE COMING A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING AND WWW.GLOBALREPORT2010.COM ©2014, All rights reserved 5 MAITREYA THE COMING – PREPARING HIS COMING 2. FRANZ ANTON MESMER Chronologically, Franz Anton Mesmer’s career overlaps with Swedenborg’s. Mesmer was born in 1735 in a small town in Germany. At the age of 25, he began studies at the University of Vienna in the field of medicine. His doctoral dissertation was a theory of medicine that suggested that there were bodily “tides” that were influenced by astronomical bodies. This theory was to be the basis of much of his later work, which changed the face of Europe forever, and served as a precursor to both the New Age movement and some of the direction of studies of psychology. Early on , Mesmer did experiments that required his patients to swallow iron. He would apply magnets to various parts of the body to achieve results. As Mesmer continued to research, he discovered that magnets were not actually necessary to bring about the same results. From this discovery, he began to work on a theory that he called “animal magnetism” - that all animate (or living) things possess something he called a “universal fluid” that interconnects all life in the universe. Compare animal magnetism to the concept of chi in Buddhism, or prana in Hinduism.

The volume also contains the writings, hitherto inaccessible, which Mrs. Eddy borrowed during her stay in Portland as Quimby’s patient. The editor is a son of Mrs. Julius A. Dresser, who was the most active of Quimby’s followers at the time Mrs. Eddy was under treatment and who loaned Mrs. Eddy the copybooks which made her acquainted with the Quimby manuscripts. Editor’s Preface to the Second Edition For many years a mass of documents of interest to Christian Scientists and to their critics as well, has been withheld from publication, although earnestly sought. These documents were written by Dr. P. P. Quimby, of Portland, Maine, and contain his views regarding mental and spiritual healing. They be- came familiar to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy when she visited Dr. Quimby as a patient, and it has been charged by her critics that many of the ideas later promulgated in her teachings were born of the Quimby theories.

  • New Religions in Global Perspective
    New Religions in Global Perspective New Religions in Global Perspective is a fresh in-depth account of new religious movements, and of new forms of spirituality from a global vantage point. Ranging from North America and Europe to Japan, Latin America, South Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, this book provides students with a complete introduction to NRMs such as Falun Gong, Aum Shinrikyo, the Brahma Kumaris movement, the Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood, Sufism, the Engaged Buddhist and Neo-Hindu movements, Messianic Judaism, and African diaspora movements including Rastafarianism. Peter Clarke explores the innovative character of new religious movements, charting their cultural significance and global impact, and how various religious traditions are shaping, rather than displacing, each other’s understanding of notions such as transcendence and faith, good and evil, of the meaning, purpose and function of religion, and of religious belonging. In addition to exploring the responses of governments, churches, the media and general public to new religious movements, Clarke examines the reactions to older, increasingly influential religions, such as Buddhism and Islam, in new geographical and cultural contexts. Taking into account the degree of continuity between old and new religions, each chapter contains not only an account of the rise of the NRMs and new forms of spirituality in a particular region, but also an overview of change in the regions’ mainstream religions. Peter Clarke is Professor Emeritus of the History and Sociology of Religion at King’s College, University of London, and a professorial member of the Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford. Among his publications are (with Peter Byrne) Religion Defined and Explained (1993) and Japanese New Religions: In Global Perspective (ed.) (2000).

The author reserves other publication rights, and neither the thesis or extensive extracts from it may be printed or otherwise reproduced without the authors written permission. Signature I dedicate this work in gratitude to my always patient and supportive partner Jim and to my also patient and supportive children Lydia and Alexander Abstract This research is a narrative inquiry into the immediate and long-term effects of soul loss retrieval as a way of recovering from long-term trauma and dissociation. Particular interest is placed on the ability of soul retrieval to restore wholeness and power balance to a person’s life. I inquired into the lived experiences of soul healing, as described by four women who participated in a soul loss recovery journey, part of the Trauma Recovery Certification Program developed and taught by Dr. Jane A. Simington. I chose this method because it is a pioneering attempt to blend modern psychoanalytic techniques with ancient shamanic approaches that are still being used in traditional cultures all over the world.

  • Healing Without Medicine from Pioneers to Modern Practice How Millions Have Been Healed by the Power of the Mind Alone
    Excerpt Healing without Medicine From Pioneers to Modern Practice How Millions Have Been Healed by the Power of the Mind Alone By Albert Amao, Ph.D. Taken from Chapter One: Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, Father of the New Thought Movement The contemporary practical philosophical movement called New Thought and the so-called Metaphysical Movement in America started with Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, who is regarded as the father of the New Thought movement on the American continent. Quimby was born on February 16, 1802, in Lebanon, New Hampshire. He was a clockmaker’s apprentice and inventor in New England who attended school for a short period of time; according to Willa Cather and Georgine Milmine, Quimby “spent actually only six weeks in school.” i He was indeed a self-made man with an inquiring and inventive mind. Quimby contracted pulmonary tuberculosis at young age, and his liver and kidneys deteriorated as a result of excessive harmful medicine. As a result he abandoned his business as a clockmaker and retired to his farm expecting to die. Quimby became disillusioned with the medical treatment and gave up any hope of recovery. The following is Quimby’s own description of his health condition, written around 1863: Some thirty years ago I was very sick, and was considered fast wasting away with consumption [tuberculosis]. At that time I became so low that it was with difficulty I could walk about (sic). I was all the while under the allopathic practice, and I had taken so much calomel that my system was said to be poisoned with it; and I lost many of my teeth from that effect.

Thayne Department of History Master of Arts Marie Ogden‘s Home of Truth colony—a religious community that was located in southern Utah during the 1930s and 40s—was part of a segment of the American religious landscape that has largely been overlooked. As such, her movement points to a significant gap in the historiography of American religion. In addition to documenting the history of this obscure community, I situate Marie Ogden as part of what I call the early new age of American religion, an underdeveloped part of the broader categories of metaphysical religion or Western esotericism.
