Glossary
Occult: The word occult means hidden from view; secret or mysterious; concealed. It refers to supernatural or magical influences beyond the realm of human comprehension available only to the initiate.
Ancient wisdom refers to time-tested, enduring knowledge, philosophies, and practices derived from historical, often pre-modern, traditions and texts.
The "Masters are reputed to be spiritually enlightened beings who in past incarnations were mere mortals, but who have undergone a series of spiritual transformations called initiations of which there are several.
For example, a "Master" is a spiritually enlightened human being who once lived on Earth but passed through various initiations to achieve a higher state of being. They taken the Fifth Initiation - the first step in human evolution.
"Ascended Masters" or "Master of the Ancient Wisdom" (also known as Mahatmas) were also once human but now, having transcended the cycle of reincarnation, reside in higher dimensions and act as guides to help humanity in its spiritual evolution. The Ninth Initiation - the highest possible is the level of the Lord of the World. Sanat Kumara revered as a highly evolved Ascended Master originally held this "office" but more about him later
Helena Blavatsky and The Masters
Russian born Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831 - 1891) was founder of the Theosophical Society who called her message Theosophy (Knowledge of the Divine). She first brought attention to the existence of these supposed spiritual leaders - her spirit guide 'Kuthumi' in particular. See Footnote I for more about Theosophy.
The Message
In a nutshell these 'masters" have a very specific plan for mankind and are guiding their spiritual growth so that they might achieve the "next evolutionary level"
They also claim that whenever humanity has reached some level of crisis, the spiritual hierarchy has sent someone to show the way. The best known of these "way-showers" being Buddha, Krishna, Jesus Christ, Confucius, Muhammad etc. (Of course, little consideration has been given to the fact that the teachings of each of these leaders flatly contradicts the teachings of the others). See Religious Pluralism
A site dedicated to Blavatsky's teachings has this to say
The masters of Theosophy, located in Tibet and around the world, preserve and extend this ancient wisdom. Periodically they send forth one of their own - or a messenger - to help spread this teaching to all of humanity. In the 1800's they had been searching for a century for the next messenger and finally settled upon Helena Blavatsky, born to a noble Russian family.
She saw the master who would be her teacher in her dreams as a child. She met him in Hyde Park in London when she was 20. She managed to enter Tibet and was trained by those masters in Tibet from 1868 to 1870. From 1875 through her death in 1891 she spread that message around the world. [01]
After Helena Blavatsky these so called "Ageless Wisdom Teachings" were communicated through various other individuals - Alice Bailey, Helena Roerich etc.
All of which brings up the question of regardless of how the books were transmitted why should we care what relatively obscure 19th century women wrote?
A. Simply because although the Bible gives us very little information about these so called "masters" there is little question that
1) These books speak about the antichrist - his rise to power on earth and the methods being used to enable his appearance
2) These beliefs are being propagated not by a few kooks, but by numerous very powerful organizations, one of which is deeply ensconced in the heart of the United Nations. All of them have but a single goal... creating the conditions necessary for the antichrist and his cohorts - the 'masters of wisdom', to physically appear.
See The Antichrist
The concept of a coming savior/leader who sets up a golden age on earth is found in many of the worlds religions making it is easy to see how a charismatic leader who promises (and seems to deliver) utopia will be accepted - even welcomed by much of the world. However, the real tragedy is that, for the most part, if you glance outside you will see the rocking chairs on the front porch moving steadily to and fro. In other words few believers seem to realize that the arrival of the "roaring lion" that Peter warned about is not too far away and that he will introduce a terrible time of persecution of Christians.
This article is largely but not exclusively focused on beliefs expressed in two of Alice Bailey's books, Externalisation Of The Hierarchy and The Reappearance of the Christ.
Alice Bailey (1880- 1949)
Alice Ann Bailey (1880–1949) was a British-born author, occultist, and key figure in the development of the New Age movement - often credited with coining the term. A one time serious student of Theosophy, she claimed to have telepathically received 24 books of esoteric, neo-Theosophical philosophy, ninteen of which were literally dictated by an ectoplasmic apparition (a "Master of Wisdom") who called himself * Djwhal Khul (The Tibetan), who claimed he lived in a physical body on the borders of Tibet.
* Pronounced “Dhwaal Khool”
Background:
When she was fifteen years old, Bailey was approached by a mysterious entity who wore a turban and called himself 'Kuthumi'. One Sunday morning, he walked into her house in Manchester, England when the rest of her family were in church. Too startled to speak, she listened as 'Kuthumi' told her that she could do some useful work in the world if she managed a measure of self-control. In her words...
My future usefulness to Him and to the world was dependent upon how I handled myself and the changes I could manage to make. He said that if I could achieve real self-control I could then be trusted and that I would travel all over the world and visit many countries, "doing your Master's work all the time." [02]
Later, in her unfinished autobiography, she wrote...
I discovered, first of all, that there is a great and divine Plan ... I discovered, for a second thing, that there are Those Who are responsible for the working out of that Plan and Who, step by step and stage by stage, have led mankind on down the centuries...
I found that the Head of this Hierarchy of spiritual Leaders was the Christ and when this dawned on me, I felt that He had been given back to me in a nearer and more intimate way. I found that He was "the Master of all the Masters and the Teacher alike of angels and of men." I found that the Masters of the Wisdom were His pupils and disciples, just as people like myself were pupils of some Master. [03 ]
Djwhal Khul (The Tibetan)
Alice had her first contact with “the Tibetan” in 1919. As she also wrote in her unfinished biography....
It was in November 1919 that I made my first contact with The Tibetan. I had sent the children off to school and thought I would snatch a few minutes to myself and went out on to the hill close to the house. I sat down and began thinking and then suddenly I sat startled and attentive. I heard what I thought was a clear note of music which sounded from the sky, through the hill and in me. Then I heard a voice which said, "There are some books which it is desired should be written for the public. You can write them. Will you do so?" [04]
Alice was initially reluctant to take on any such endeavor but, after she was begged to reconsider, she said she would try it for a short period of time and then decide. It was during this trial period that Bailey was given the initial chapters of her first book, Initiation, Human and Solar. However, she was concerned that her mental health would be affected and, as she had three daughters to take care of, did not want to risk any further work. Djwhal Khul asked her to get back in touch with Kuthumi and discuss the matter with him. In Alice Bailey's words..
After thinking it over for a week or so I decided to get in touch with K. H. and proceeded to do so, following the very definite technique He had taught me. When I got my opportunity for an interview with K. H. we talked the whole thing through. He assured me that I was in no danger, either physically or mentally, and that I had the opportunity of doing a really valuable piece of work. [05]
And so it came about that, beginning in the 1930s, the Tibetan 'master' began relaying the messages he wanted written down. Alice Bailey said she took down the words she heard, and registered the thoughts which were "dropped", one at a time, into her brain. And that she made no changes to these words, except to "smooth the English or replace an unusual word with one that is clearer, taking care, always, to preserve the sense as given" [06] She also made it exceedingly clear that she never altered or modified anything that the Tibetan gave her even if she did not always understand, or agree with, what was said.
This collaboration between Alice Bailey and this non-human 'master of wisdom' one of the members of the so-called 'hierarchy', continued through the next two and a half decades. The resulting books remain, to this day, one of the primary sources for so called "Ageless Wisdom" teachings. (Note: The Tibetan' apparently did not stop with Alice Bailey, although it was through her that he caused the greatest damage. (See Footnote II)
The Plan
Although Alice Bailey's books deal with a wide range of esoteric thoughts, they were based on what she referred to as "The Plan"... the specific stages and details of the 'Hierarchy's' plan for mankind. This plan, often referred to as "Ageless Wisdom" teachings involved raising the consciousness of as many men as possible in order to take them to the "next evolutionary level".
While all that might sound like something that originated in the fertile brain of a science fiction writer, it is the cornerstone of an uncountable number of New Age organizations. An incredibly huge network of individuals, groups, and organizations etc. have become focused on making changes not only at an individual but at a global level. See The Global Alliance
This because a large portion of the New Age movement believes that the utopian age (a new age) will only come about under the leadership and guidance of a world leader/teacher. They contend that Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius, Jesus, and many others were "christs", but one greater than them all... a "World Teacher" will soon come to usher in a New Age. However, the plan can only be implemented, and the 'christ' reappear only when the collective consciousness of this planet has been raised to a sufficient degree.
 NOTE: If you are a Christian believer please pay CLOSE ATTENTION to the next quotation
In Alice Bailey/Djwhal Khul's words... (Capitalization in Original)
This will indicate a return to the situation which existed in Atlantean days when (to use Biblical symbology, Genesis Chaps. 2 and 3) God Himself walked among men; He talked with them and there was no barrier between the Kingdom of men and the Kingdom of God. Divinity was then present in physical form and the Members of the spiritual Hierarchy were openly guiding and directing the affairs of humanity as far as man's innate freedom permitted.
Now, in the immediate future, and on a higher turn of the spiral of life, this will again happen. The Masters will walk openly among men; the Christ will reappear in physical Presence. Another thing that will happen will be that the ancient Mysteries will be restored, the ancient landmarks will again be recognised - those landmarks which Masonry has so earnestly preserved and which have been hitherto securely embalmed in the Masonic rituals, waiting the day of restoration and of resurrection. [07]
Jesus Himself linked two epochs together and said that one is the parallel of the other saying
“As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man" (Luke 17:26, Matthew 24:37).
In other words, in the days immediately preceding the return of Jesus Christ, we shall see strikingly similar conditions to those that existed just prior to the Great Flood (the days of Noah - Atlantean days?)
The multi million dollar question is what conditions are going to be duplicated.
It is true that men were terribly wicked in those days however, that is not all. The Old Testament tells us how "the sons of God" took wives for themselves from among the daughters of men, had children by them, and that the "Nephilim" (the mighty men of old) walked the earth at that time. If we wish to know what exactly we are to expect before the wrath of God rains down it is essential we understand who these 'sons of God' and 'Nephilim' were. See The Days of Noah
And when would this happen? Alice Bailey made it crystal clear that imminent "great and stirring events" would take place "when the effect of the new Invocation is more pronounced and its use more general" (more about this "invocation" later), which was the responsibility of the three movements which "demonstrate the part" she "sought to take in the world preparation".
The three movements being The Arcane School, Triangles, and the Goodwill movement all of which operate under the umbrella of the Lucis Trust.
The Organizations
Lucis Trust (Originally called the Lucifer Publishing Company)
Bailey and her husband parted ways from Theosophy and started the Lucifer Publishing Company to publish her books. It was names so because, like Helena Blavatsky before them, Alice and Foster Bailey "sought to elicit a deeper understanding of the sacrifice made by Lucifer".
Alice and Foster Bailey were serious students and teachers of Theosophy, a spiritual tradition which views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels, those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus "the fall") from Venus to our planet eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man. In the theosophical perspective, the descent of these solar Angels was not a fall into sin or disgrace but rather an act of great sacrifice, as is suggested in the name "Lucifer" which means light-bearer. [08]
As Helen Blavatsky once said..
To make the point clear once for all: that which the clergy of every dogmatic religion -- pre-eminently the Christian -- points out as Satan, the enemy of God, is in reality, the highest divine Spirit -- (occult Wisdom on Earth) [09]
The name was changed to Lucis Publishing Company by 1925
A Force To Be Reckoned With
Currently located on Wall Street, Lucis Trust is a non-profit trust incorporated in New York State dedicated in their words “to the establishment of a new and better way of life for everyone in the world based on the fulfillment of the divine plan for humanity” [10].
They also put out a magazine entitled Beacon “a magazine of esoteric philosophy, presenting the principles of the Ageless Wisdom as a contemporary way of life”.
And that is not all.
United Nations
The Lucis Trust has Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) that includes a seat on the weekly sessions. World Goodwill is recognized by the Department of Global Communications at the United Nations as a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
Referring to the United Nations’ General Assembly chamber, they make the following statement
“Behind the dais, the golden background is suggestive of a stream of energy from on high. It certainly seems appropriate imagery for a spiritual sanctum, and the Bailey books point to the thought that the General Assembly could be considered a sanctum of the Avatar of Synthesis, Who is particularly associated with the United Nations.” [11]
Rumor and speculation aside, I have not been able to find a statement on the Lucis Trust web site that definitively states that they maintain the UN meditation room they are certainly connected with it.
The Trust provides worldwide financial support for the Arcane School, Triangles, World Goodwill, Lucis Publishing, Lucis Productions, Lucis Trust Libraries and the New Group of World Servers.
The Arcane School
The Arcane school was initially founded in 1923 to "handle the correspondence that was accumulating as a result of the increasing sales of the books", to "meet the demand for Secret Doctrine classes" and "to handle all the appeals for help along spiritual lines" [12]
The school now has branches in New York, Geneva, London and Buenos Aires from which it provides correspondence training for new age discipleship. According to Lucis trust... [Emphasis Added]
The Arcane School trains people in meditation and service to develop their spiritual potential. The purpose of such training is to help students understand and accept discipleship responsibility and to recognise the part that they can play in the evolution of consciousness by serving humanity... The work is financed through the Lucis Trust by the voluntary contributions of students and those interested in the work of the School and in the teaching. [13]
Triangles
In 1937 Lucis Trust also founded the "Triangles" program that brings people together in groups of three for daily meditation. According to Lucis Trust it is "a worldwide network of light and goodwill for the distribution of spiritual energies". They describe how this program works... (Emphasis Added)
A triangle is a group of three people who link each day in thought for a few minutes of creative meditation. They need not necessarily live in the same locality, and many international triangles exist. Each day members sit quietly for a few minutes and link mentally with other members of their triangle, or triangles.
They invoke the energies of light and goodwill, visualising these energies as circulating through the three focal points of each triangle, and pouring out through the network of triangles surrounding the planet. At the same time they repeat the Great Invocation, thus helping to form a channel for the downpouring of light and love into the consciousness of humanity. [14]
World Goodwill
Founded in 1932, The World Goodwill group is recognized by the United Nations as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), represented at regular briefing sessions in New York and Geneva.
In promoting recognition of the power of goodwill in our time, World Goodwill has three primary objectives the third of which reads
To foster a universal spiritual perspective on the future, centered on the idea that all faiths throughout history have anticipated an age of peace and justice, ushered in by a World Teacher Who embodies divine principles. The rising tide of goodwill in the world today is a sign that the appearance of such a teacher, expected by different traditions under such names as the Christ, the Kalki Avatar, the Bodhisattva, Lord Maitreya, the Imam Mahdi, and the Messiah, is now imminent. [15]
They list six recognitions that are needed for “a deeper sense of reality based on spiritual values, and a new perception of humanity as a unit of divine life” - the first four of which are.. [All Emphasis Added]
One: Humanity is not following a haphazard or uncharted course -- there is a Plan. This Plan has always existed and is part of the greater design of the Cosmos. The Plan has worked out through the evolutionary developments of the past and because of the special impetus given it from time to time by the great leaders, teachers and intuitives of the human race.
Two: There is an inner spiritual government of the planet, known under such different names as the spiritual Hierarchy, the society of Illumined Minds, or Christ and his Church, according to various religious traditions. Humanity is never left without spiritual guidance or direction under the Plan.
Three: The widespread expectation that we approach the "Age of Maitreya", as it is known in the East, when the World Teacher and present head of the spiritual Hierarchy, the Christ, will reappear among humanity to sound the keynote of the new age.
Four: There are millions of mentally alert men and women in all parts of the world who are en rapport with the Plan and work to give it expression ..." [16]
World Goodwill distributes educational and informative literature on these themes including copies of the Great Invocation in several different languages. They also help organize "the annual World Invocation Day, with special focus on the use of the Great Invocation worldwide. [17] [All Emphasis Added]
And if there is any remaining doubt as what the ultimate aim of these organizations is as Alice Bailey wrote (Capitalization in Original)
Our objective is the helping of the Great Ones and the rendering to Them of that intelligent assistance which will make Their plans for humanity materialise. [18]
The Methods
(The "Great Invocation" and Occult Meditation)
The lifting of global consciousness that facilitates the return of the christ and the dawning of the new age is not a teaching unique to the Lucis trust, but is echoed and reechoed by countless New Age writers and teachers.
Lucis Trust and it's affiliated organizations certainly do their bit to change the 'spiritual awareness' of the planet, primarily accomplished by occult meditation and the reciting of the Great Invocation.
1.) The Great Invocation
The word invocation means the act of invoking, especially an appeal to a higher power for assistance.
The Great Invocation, a world prayer now published in over 80 languages and dialects has for decades been printed on millions of bookmarks and in the front of every Alice Bailey book published by Lucis Trust. The first stanza was given Alice Bailey by 'the Tibetan' in 1935. Two others followed... the second in 1940 and the third in 1945.
The 1940 second stanza begins with the words.. [Emphasis Added]
Let the Lords of Liberation issue forth.
Let them bring succour to the sons of men.
Let the Rider from the Secret Place come forth,
And coming, save. Come forth, O Mighty One.
The third stanza dating to 1945 reads (Emphasis Added)
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. [19]
World Invocation Day
Every year on the day of the June full moon the Great Invocation is prayed by people all over the world.
The Lucis trust certainly has inflated ideas about the invocation, stating that
The Great Invocation if given widespread distribution, can be to the new world religion what the Lord's Prayer has been to Christianity and the 23rd Psalm has been to the spiritually minded Jew. [20]
They also state that it makes "powerful changes" to the person using it.. (which, considering the source, I do not doubt for a moment)
No one can use this Invocation or prayer for illumination and for love without causing powerful changes in his own attitudes and his life intention; character and goals will be changed and life altered and made spiritually useful. [21]
Lucis Trust claims that "tens of thousands of people of goodwill throughout the world" [22] are using the Great Invocation on a daily basis. I have little doubt that this is true considering that, as mentioned earlier, the sole purpose of the global network of cells called "Triangles", is to bring people together in groups of three for daily meditation and to pray the "Great Invocation". All of which makes the following statements rather chilling... (All Emphasis Added)
The science of invocation is in reality the intelligent organisation of spiritual energy and of the forces of love, and these, when effective, will evoke the response of spiritual Beings Who can work openly among men and thus establish a close relation and a constant communication between humanity and the spiritual Hierarchy". [23]
And then there is this...
Always down the centuries, at the hour of man's greatest need and in response to his voiced demand, a divine Son of God has come forth and under many different names. Then the Christ came and apparently left us, with His work unfinished and His vision for mankind not yet consummated. For two thousand years it has seemed as if all His work had been blocked, frustrated, and of no avail, for the growth of the churches during the centuries is no guarantee of the spiritual success at which He aimed. [24]
Jesus Christ certainly did not come in response to man's "voiced demand". His earthly incarnation was planned by the Father from the beginning of time and foretold for centuries. In fact, the entire Old Testament, while a historical record of God's dealings with the nation of Israel, was squarely focused on the Redeemer who was to come.
See Only Jesus Was Foretold Centuries in Advance
It seems within the bounds of common sense that if God were to send a messenger/savior to mankind, He would have at least given us some way to distinguish the true messenger from the false (and potentially dangerous) one. And, so He did. In fact God’s method was pretty foolproof... He simply told us about the Messiah beforehand. In fact, although many details of the Messiah's birth, life and death were recorded centuries before Christ’s birth, Daniel specified EXACTLY when He would appear.
New Age Leaders and The Invocation
Without mentioning the source, Barbara Marx Hubbard quotes the final verse of "The Great Invocation, on page 216 of her 1998 book Conscious Evolution. She states that the goal of her book is
"... that it serve the fulfillment of the plan. 'May Light and Love and Power restore the plan on Earth.' That is my prayer." [25]
Note: Not by any stretch of the imagination can Barbara Marx Hubbard be placed in the same category as the gypsy in a tent crouched over her crystal ball. "In 1984 her name was placed in nomination for the vice presidency of the United States on the Democratic ticket. She also co-designed three major Soviet-American citizen summits during the 1980s. Hubbard graduated cum laude from Bryn Mawr College with a B.A in Political Science. She also also studies at L’ecole Sciences Politiques and the Sorbonne in Paris." [26]
Neale Donald Walsch, Gary Zukav and Marianne Williamson all endorsed Hubbard’s Conscious Evolution. Walsch wrote the foreword and Marianne Williamson's endorsement on the front cover reads "Barbara Marx Hubbard has given us an extraordinary guide to an enlightened society. If enough of us read this book, something phenomenal will emerge as a consequence... ".
Gary Zukav "enthusiastically" recommends the book on the back cover. No surprise here. Zukav the author of four consecutive New York Times best sellers appeared many times on The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss transformation in human consciousness.
2.) Occult Meditation
The second means used to "materialize" the Hierarchy's plan for humanity is the practice of occult meditation, of which the Lucis Trust says... [Emphasis Added]
Occult meditation is a means of consciously and purposefully directing energy from a recognised source to the creation of some specific effect. [27]
Apparently, each meditation session brings us just a fraction closer to, as one meditation site puts it, "the awakening of all into the New Age Millennium".
Full Moon Meditation
Bailey taught that certain moments of the year are especially fruitful times for spiritual work because "spiritual energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy". [28]
In the words of Djwhal Khul... (All Emphasis Added)
The spirit of Invocation, of longing for and reaching for contact with higher beings is strengthened at Full Moon. [29]
In accordance with this belief each month at the time of the full moon Lucis trust holds group meditation meetings in their office at 866 United Nations Plaza, New York, NY.
Footnote I: Theosophy
Theosophy is occult movement that originated in the 19th century although its roots can be traced to ancient Gnosticism and Neoplatonism.
The term “Theosophy” comes from the Greek theosophia, which is composed of two words: theos (“god,” “gods,” or “divine”) and sophia (“wisdom”). Theosophia, therefore, may be translated as the “wisdom of the gods,” “wisdom in things divine,” or “divine wisdom.”
In the modern Theosophical movement the word "Theosophy" has been used with several different meanings:
a) It is frequently used to describe the body of teachings that were given through Mme. Blavatsky and other Theosophical writers. This body of knowledge is frequently called "modern Theosophy" (with capital T).
b) It is also used to refer to the universal Ancient Wisdom underlying all religions, which can be found at their core when they are stripped of accretions, deletions, and superstitions. This is sometimes referred to as "ancient" or "timeless" theosophy. [30]
The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky along with Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge, and others. Blavatsky gained an international following as the leading theoretician of Theosophy, the esoteric movement that the Society promoted.
According to the Encyclopædia Britannica,
In the late 19th century Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, cofounder of the Theosophical Society, announced a coming New Age. She believed that theosophists (who embraced Buddhist and Brahmanic notions such as reincarnation) should assist the evolution of the human race and prepare to cooperate with one of the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood whose arrival was imminent. Blavatsky believed that, as the world's hidden leaders, members of this mystical brotherhood guided the destiny of the planet. Her ideas contributed to expectation of a New Age among practitioners of Spiritualism and believers in astrology, for whom the coming of the new Aquarian Age promised a period of brotherhood and enlightenment. [31]
In her book The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky called the "Biblical Jehovah" the "spiteful and revengeful God of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob who tempted the former and wrestled with the last" [H.P Blavatsky. The Secret Doctrine: Volume One - Cosmogenesis. (Published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (September 23, 2011) Page 398)
[PLACE IN TEXT]
Footnote II
Although it was through Alice Bailey that ‘the Tibetan’ caused the greatest damage he returned to print in the early 21st century as a co-author with two new female channelers, Violet Starre and Moriah Marston.
Marston's Soul Searching with Djwahl Khul, the Tibetan, was published in 2006. She was apparently a conscious channel for Ascended Master Djwhal Khul since 1986
Besides which, ".. several leaders of New Age philosophy have further developed Bailey's teachings, including the well-known personalities
JZ Knight (who channels the entity known by the name Ramtha),
Helen Schucman (author of A Course in Miracles), through the process of telepathic dictation she called "scribing",
Elizabeth Clare Prophet (who published what she referred to as "dictations from Ascended Masters")
Jean Houston (one of the founders of the Human Potential Movement, past president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology and one of the premiere New Age promoters and speakers in North America.)."
NOTE: It was at at Jean Houston's Mystery School that Lauren Artress says she first encountered the labyrinth, described as a "a powerful spiritual tool whose path would lead each of us to our own center".
Artress is an Episcopal priest, spiritual director and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California. She is also Canon Emerita of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and the founder of Quest: Grace Cathedral Center for Spiritual Wholeness and the creator of the Labyrinth Project. See The Labyrinth
