THE NEW AGE POPULATION SELECTION PROCESS
As part of the imminent global transformation, the radical New Age leaders look forward to a "selection" among the human race. The elect of humanity will survive to enter the New Age. Many others will die - a prospect that these gurus view with cold equanimity. (Thus, it's reasonable to wonder whether those who foretell a "selection process" intend to kill their opponents, if they can.)
For several decades Barbara Marx Hubbard has predicted "personal extinction" for people who will not get with the New Age program: "A Quantum Transformation is the time of selection.... The species known as self-centered humanity will become extinct. The species known as whole-centered humanity will evolve." At this time, "humans capable of cooperating to self-transcend will do so"; "elements" who maintain "the illusion of separation will become extinct...just as Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal humans became extinct." In referring to undesirable people as "elements," she follows the example of the Nazis, the Communists, and others who dehumanize their opponents to justify destroying them. Hubbard warns that if the selection comes, it will be violent: "Either the good will prevail...or the violent selection of the self-centered will begin." For her, Satan is "part of the selection process...that will bring forth the self-elected from the self-rejected, so that...only those connected to the whole survive." Muller agrees that persons "who hold contrary beliefs" to those favored in the "next phase of evolution" will disappear; opponents of the UN and other "anti-evolutionary, blind, self-serving people" will have their souls "parked in a special corral of the universe for having been retarding forces, true aberrations in the evolution and ascent of humanity," a banishment to a spiritual Siberia.
Nick Bunick, the self-proclaimed reincarnation of the Apostle Paul, sets the date for the selection between 2000 and 2010, when "those people who are not living according to the laws of God" will be "no longer participating in our world." They'll be sent to "a different vibrational plane" to improve their karma. Hubbard says that survivors of the selection will go with the flow of evolution, will love "choice, diversity, flexibility, ambiguity, uncertainty, responsibility, and response-ability." The inheritors of Hubbard's new kingdom will pass all the current tests for political correctness.
The leaders of the New Age movement argue that the earth is overpopulated, and that radical measures are needed to defuse the "population bomb." In the 1940s - when world population was less than half what it is today - Bailey said, "certain physical restrictions should be imposed, because it is now evident that beyond a certain point the planet cannot support humanity." Ex-Catholic Matthew Fox has said, "Excessive human population is a grave danger...it's one of the reasons I joined the Episcopal Church, because of its open-minded and pragmatic view of birth control." In 1997 Gorbachev said, "for a certain transitional period families should limit themselves to one child."
Some of these compassionate people want to reduce Earth's population to two billion or less. In a November 1991 interview with The UNESCO Courier, Jacques-Yves Cousteau said: "World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day." That works out to 127,750,000 people per year, and 1.27 billion people to "eliminate" per decade. The eco-feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether told those who attended a May 1998 ecological conference that "We need to seek the most compassionate way of weeding out people.... In place of the pro-life movement we need to develop the 'spirituality of recycling'...a spirituality that includes ourselves in the renewal of earth and self. We need to compost ourselves." Several months later Ruether told a national conference of Call to Action, a dissident Catholic organization, how many people must go onto the compost pile: "We must return to the population level of 1930" - about two billion people. What is discreetly unannounced is what to do with the 4 billion "surplus" people. Once again, the liberal death wish rears its head.
THE NEW AGE IS REAL and ANTICHRISTIAN
Taken together, the works of people such as Robert Muller, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Neale Donald Walsch, Alice Bailey, David Spangler, and Helena Blavatsky are an anti-Catechism: a comprehensive anti-Gospel, a revival of the Gnostic heresy, and an inversion of Christian morality and doctrine. I have not pulled a few "smoking gun" quotes from otherwise innocent writings. The adepts of the New Age have provided an arsenal full of smoking guns, all pointed in the same direction. Those who can stand to read New Age and Theosophical books in detail will find that these writers make clear their intentions for us all - just as Hitler did with Mein Kampf. This time, let us pay attention!

Note:
Don't necessarily agree with the strict pro-Catholic/anti-Gnostic stance, but very useful information none-the-less.
Essentially another 'mindfuck.'
All these 'issues' present the 'target' with cognitively dissonant 'false dilemmas' in which she/he will (probably) take a 'reactionary-' - manichaenistic stance on one level or another. The same pattern of PSYOP is found in other 'target' issues:' Middle East;War on Terror;Global Warming;Immigration;Multiculturalism;etcetera.
Essentially a "double bind."

While I could care less about the pompous New Age posers, your blind 'pro-life' stance is equally annoying. I suppose you won't be happy until there are so many people on the planet that we have to stack ourselves on each other. You think humans are more important than all other parts of the Creation. The Catholic Church's stand against birth control at this time in history is criminal. We are now a parasitic infection that has gotten out of control, and the Earth will ultimately find a way of dealing with our inability to control ourselves, since we obviously never will. There is great spiritual value in wide open spaces where people AREN'T. Personally, I look forward to the die-off, because it means religions and governments will be weakened. Yay!!! In the meantime, how about we ship all orphans in Catholic countries to the Vatican and force those phonies to take care of all the children that have resulted from their stupid policies. If you won't take care of the homeless children born because of your idiotic, criminal refusal to use birth control, then you shouldn't be allowed to take part in discussions about overpopulation, period...

Please expand on this - how governments/religions will be weakened by the "die-off"?
On one level, the only segments of the global human population currently "dying-off" are those deemed unfit to use their (as in THEM!) definition of "complex tools."
You might want to read through the following previous archive entries before responding:
Ars Electronica (not to be mistaken with Ars Electronics of Van Nuys, California), a prestigious digital art and music competition, electronic music festival, and symposium (based in Linz, Austria), advocated genocide for populations 'unfit' to adapt to their transhumanist agenda in an announcement from their 1996 festival.

Plenty of Food, Land
Productivity matters more than other statistical measures because it demonstrates we’re doing more with less. That’s why, for example, starvation is a political disaster, not a natural one. There’s literally too much food in the world. There’s also plenty of land left. You could move the entire world population inside medium-sized homes and they’d all fit inside Texas, yielding a population density similar to that of Paris.
http://ce399.typepad.com/weblog/2008/06/over-population-is-a-deadly-hoax.html
Btw, in my opinion, the "great die-off" (EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET) has already occurred. As John Lydon said in the 1999 documentary The Filth and The Fury: "Only the fake survive."
Thanks for commenting on ce399.

Yeah, the Ars Electronica people in Austria are just rehashing the same old white supremacist crap that has been bouncing around Europe for centuries.
The author of the overpopulation 'hoax' article missed the boat on productivity, since the increase in productivity during the past century was due to the use of petroleum-based fertilizers, pesticides, and mechanization to mine centuries of fertility from the topsoil. An unsustainable trend that produced nutritionally deficient food at a high cost to the environment.
The problem with arguments like the one about fitting the whole world's population inside an utopian suburb the size of the state of Texas is that it ignores the political reality of the world. Our world is controlled by a cabal of powerful superwealthy people loosely confederated into groups like the Bilderbergers, the CFR, and the Trilateral Commission, who not only have no interest in a world shared equally by all, but who will also crush anyone who attempts to create such a world. Until these people are confronted and stripped of the positions of power they have gathered to themselves, adding more people to the human population is just pouring gasoline on the fire. Since most people either do not believe this plutocracy exists, or don't believe it actually intends to control the whole planet, or just simply don't care, the eventual (planned?) collapse of civilization and the human population is a virtual certainty. While the die-off will probably result in the "weakening of governments and religions" because it will destroy power bases and command structures, perhaps this is just an empty hope on my part. Perhaps the new techno-priests will merely emerge from their underground bases after the dust clears, fully equipped with the resources they have been stockpiling, to better herd the remaining population.
We just do not need more people now, we need the people we already have to use their time more wisely and effectively to apply pressure and exposure to those who would control everything. Personally, I think it is already too late, since most of the human population is either totally involved in merely surviving, or is actually in favor of the way things are. A final thought: What is wrong with selecting OUT certain traits like excessive hairiness, obesity, or genetic diseases? Sounds like a really good idea to me.

Transhumanism is a new, different and more sinister machine variant built for the 21st Century.
We just do not need more people now, we need the people we already have to use their time more wisely and effectively to apply pressure and exposure to those who would control everything.
In addition, if one were to accept the "U.S. is Afghanistan" notion - a failed state - more than just pressure and exposure are required against the ruling elite. What is further required is a massive reeducation program similar to that undertaken in Nicaragua after the 1979 revolution and more recently what has taken place during the ascendancy of Hugo Chavez - that is - to essentially give "people" (if one were to still call human2.0 human with a human spirit or part human/part machine spirit*)the tools to co-exist and survive in a world without capitalism.
I believe some small pockets of Europe (Greece for example) and Latin America (Chiapas) at the present time can co-exist without much interference from government or large corporations.
Look to the events in France during 1968 for inspiration: the first general wildcat strike ever in the history of the world...
...more tomorrow...

That may be true, however, in making his point, the author is simply attempting to expose the lie (more precisely the lie of "blaming the victims" - standard in the corporate fascist business model) that land distribution issues and hunger are a top-down intentional socio-political failure and NOT due to scarcity of food resources or land or overpopulation.
If the planet needs more human2.0 clones - whether they be corporate label clones or eco/freemarket clones/ or eco-socialist/anarchist clones is another issue entirely.
I do think, however, that most humans do (unconsciously) realize that their "genetic heritage" has been hijacked by the corporate state and subsequently internalize that unspeakable horror by continued participation in a system that is quite obviously at this point intentionally subverting their ability to co-exist and survive on this planet in order to test some transhumanist/social darwinist project THEY already KNOW is hardwired for failure.
I have wondered quite often recently if THEY have found human sustaining life on another planet and are therefore turning this one into a machine worker colony? If this admittedly perhaps far-fetched speculation is indeed true, then The RISE OF THE MACHINES (T3) is no longer the realm of science fiction or even metaphor.
Posted by: ce399 | 18 March 2009 at 10:38
Yeah, another key weakness of the pro-procreationists is that fresh drinking water isn't infinitely available. I still say there is incalculable value in empty (of humans), open space. No, we don't need more clones, of any flavor.
The only thing that prevents any humans in any age from being some sort of clone is the intentional action of applying one's individual awareness to their life. All other activity is just playing out a program, and we have always been mere machines otherwise.
As far as THEM placing second bets on a home base, I don't think it is too far-fetched to speculate about Mars at least, if not other nearby systems, since the technology necessary for interstellar travel was apparently acquired decades ago. Even if you don't believe that, just check out the resolution of the photography from the University of Arizona/HiRISE project, and you will see we are checking THAT place out real, real close. HMMMM. They know there's plenty of water there, and there are localized magnetic fields capable of providing SOME protection. Perhaps with a little tweaking, things could be made liveable?
Hey, thanks for the well done, thought-provoking site. Good job.
