EDUCATING THE MASSES. Global education leader and occultist, Dr. Shirley McCune, affirms the need to trade fact for feeling. "We are no longer teaching facts to children," she announced as keynote speaker at the 1989 Governors Conference on Education.
Its no coincident that Dr. McCune directed the Mid-Continent Regional Educational Laboratory (McREL), based in Denver, which helped lay the foundation for the massacre in Littleton. Under her guidance, it pioneered the development of psycho-social curricula for changing a child’s values, including death eduation. In a report on the Littleton massacre, education author Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld tells us that McREL had "received a $12.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to help implement Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in Colorado." Some of the money was used to start a program called Direction 2000, which published a newsletter by the same title. According to Dr. Blumenfeld, its June 1, 1990, included this summary of Outcome-Based Education and Mastery Learning by Littleton High principal Tim Westerberg:
"Littleton High School is proposing a system of schooling which will be driven by a new set of 'outcome-based' graduation requirements, will provide a Program Advisor to work with each student during his or her stay at LHS, and will award diplomas to students who have demonstrated mastery of the 'outcome-based' graduation requirements through portfolios and exhibitions before a graduation committee. Balanced assessment and attention to each student's intellectual, social, physical, ethical, artistic, and emotional development are central to the project." (WND, 5-17-99)
Few realized then that Dr. McCune was being tutored by her spirit guides. As co-author of a strange book called, The Light Shall Set You Free, she quotes her demonic mentor Kuthumi, who introduces himself as a "World Teacher" and "the spokesperson for enlightenment and education for the Galactic Command."
Sounds a bit like the world of Star Wars, doesn’t it? It's actually Theosophy, an occult philosophy received through channeling "ascended masters (actually infamous spirit guides such as Djwhal Khul and Kuthumi). These demonic spirits have led countless globalist leaders in the inner circles of the United Nations toward their vision of spiritual evolution and universal oneness.
Kuthumi describes a "transformation process" and the return of "Creator of Light. . . the source of power for which each soul has yearned since the beginning of time." Those yearning souls, of course, do not include you or I. He is referring to the more highly evolved souls. As for the rest of us, there’s trouble ahead: "The Earth will be cleansed in the next decade, for the purification must be complete." 21
Such strange occult language from cultural leaders challenges our Western minds. It’s so irrational! Yet, in the light of the Bible, it begins to make sense. "The whole world is under the sway of the evil one," we are told in
1 John 5:19. So it’s not surprising that Dr. McCune, Mr. Walsch, Mikhail Gorbachev, and George Lucas all promote the same dark forces masquerading as benevolent light.
We can expect an explosion of this kind of occultism, for the network of humans subject to such deception is growing fast. In his "Acknowledgements," Walsch lists some well known cultural leaders including Shirley MacLaine, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Hugh Downs, and Gene Roddenberry.
Walsch offers a special thanks to Dr. Robert Mueller (sic) "whose work on behalf of world peace has blessed us all, and inspired this planet with new hope and a spectacular vision for over half a century."22
Robert Muller
Muller (correct spelling), the Under-Secretary General of the United Nations for over thirty years, envisioned a United Religions long before Episcopal Bishop Swing toured the world to promote it.23 His World Core Curriculum, based on the teachings of spirit guide Djwhal Khul, helped prepare schools around the world to teach global citizenship and occult spirituality.24 National sovereignty and the facts needed for independent thinking were abandoned as obsolete and boring.
Back in 1993, President Clinton’s Council on Sustainable Development25 met at the Presidio with dozens of representatives from federal departments and agencies, environmental groups, universities, and globalist leaders. Their joint report, "Education for Sustainability," is a model for sustainable education. Its six themes have become familiar buzzwords in state education standards from coast to coast. Few realize that all the familiar words have been redefined to fit the global vision for human resource management:26
1. Interdisciplinary approaches
2. Lifelong Learning27
3. Systems thinking 28
4. Partnerships 29
5. Multicultural perspectives
6. Empowerment
FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT. George Lucas and other Presidio leaders demonstrate the power of partnerships (Point 4). Together, they play an important part in the planned "Lifelong Learning" for the masses. And the promise of "empowerment" has become an alluring carrot, useful for luring participants into the consensus process and gaining public consent for controversial programs.30
The Star Wars books and games would have been opposed some years ago. But today’s spellbound audiences have been desensitized to occult messages. They have seen with their own eyes that humans can accomplish anything through faith in the "God of forces."31 They had caught the vision of space conquests, helpful aliens, connection with higher beings, and a universal force ready to serve evil as well as the good as long as its apprentices learn the right formulas and yogic disciplines. But they have believed a lie.
Our challenge today is first of all, to know the facts and truths that will keep our minds grounded in reality. Remember, today’s most popular images are more likely to teach fantasy than reality. Technology made a paradigm leap with the Lucasfilm contributions to digital imagery. Seeing is not believing!
Long ago, the prophet Jeremiah warned a pseudo-prophet who professed to be God’s messenger:
Quote:
|
"The Lord has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. . . . You have taught rebellion against the Lord." (Jeremiah 28:15-16)
|
Like Presidio’s visionary leaders, the false prophet had promised peace and freedom in spite of the evils that had corrupted the nation. That made him popular. Jeremiah brought a more troubling message: God would judge the nation for its wickedness. Shortly thereafter, Jeremiah’s message was fulfilled.
Today, we can choose to come under the protection of the King of kings, or stand vulnerable against a host of dark forces that would blind us to the Truth. Failing to make a choice usually means sliding toward the latter. But God’s faithful leader, Joshua, knew what He wanted. He told the people,
Quote:

"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15)
