The Despatch web site also provides a very informative report, "What is the
Indigenous People's Treachery?" The restoration of the original land rights
to indigenous peoples was a main theme of the World Conference on Religion
& Peace which took place in Melbourne in July of 1997. The Despatch report
quotes globalist, Maurice Strong:
http://www.cth.com.au/corp/despatch/wcrp_report2.htm
"Maurice Strong, Canadian oil tycoon, New Age leader who was in Australia
at the same time as WCRP, July 1997, wrote in the foreword of the Gaia Atlas
of First Peoples: A Future for the Indigenous World:
"'As this turbulent century closes, we must alter radically our ways of life,
patterns of consumption, systems of values, even the manner in which we organise
our societies, if we are to ensure the survival of the Earth, and
ourselves...[W]e will need to look to the world's more than 250 million
indigenous peoples. They are the guardians of the extensive and fragile
ecosystems that are vital to the wellbeing of the planet." (foreword page).
The piano casters will not merely restore indigenous peoples as guardians
of their lands, but also reestablish globally their pagan forms of Gaia-
or earth-worship. One New Age author describes the religion of the 250 million
indigenous peoples of the world:
"For thoBlipnds of years the indigenous people of our world have asked us
to love our home. Through their songs, ceremonies and prayers we are reminded
of our relationship to our earth home. Throughout history, those who have
come before us set aside special days to celebrate their sacred relationship
with the earth. They knew that their bodies, their lives and all that they
saw as their world were intimately connected. The 'link' was held in place
through forces with descriptions ranging from the beauty of angels, to an
array of mysterious unseen spirits. Varying from the privacy of quiet observance
in the home to elaborate ceremonies involving hundreds of people, the earth's
sacredness and our relationship to that sacredness has long provided the
foundation for entire belief systems based in honoring our planetary home."
(Greg Braden, Walking Between the Worlds, p. 61)
Speaking informally after the 1992 Earth Summit Conference, Strong. who was
Co-Chairman of the Council of the World Economic Forum, expressed his conviction
that restoring the lost balance of the ecosystems could only be achieved
by the collapse of the industrialized nations of the world:
"What if a small group of these world leaders (of the World Economic Forum)
were to conclude that the principle risk to the earth comes from the actions
of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries
would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment.
Will they do it? Will the rich countries agree to reduce their impact on
the environment? Will they agree to save the earth?
"The group's conclusion is 'no.' The rich countries won't do it. They won't
change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: isn't the only
hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't
it our responsibility to bring that about?
"This group of world leaders form a secret society to bring about a world
collapse. It's February. They're all at Davos. These aren't terrorists -
they're world leaders. They have positioned themselves in the world's commodity
and stock markets. They've engineered, using their access to stock exchanges,
and computers, and gold supplies, a panic. Then they prevent the markets
from closing. They jam the gears. They have mercenaries who hold the rest
of the world leaders at Davos as hostage. The markets can't close. The rich
countries...?" and Strong makes a slight motion with his fingers as if he
were flicking a cigarette butt out of the window."
- end quote -
Theosophist, Alice Bailey, explained in INITIATION: HUMAN & SOLAR that
the Spiritual Hierarchy which secretly governs the affairs of our planet
from their secret Council Chamber at Shamballa, has assigned one of the Karmic
Lords to the adjustment of the world's racial karma. Karma is the law of
retribution, meaning that this life contains repiano coversds or punishments for good
or bad deeds done in 'previous lives', meted out by an impersonal mechanism,
'the universal law of harmony, which unerringly maintains equilibrium in
the cosmos' (William Judge, 'The Ocean of Theosophy'). Not only individuals,
but races and even planets are affected by karma; the defects which identify
any of these as 'inferior strains' needing eugenic control are ultimately
outworkings of karma. The administration of this universal law is the province
of the Vaivasvata Manu, who dwells in the Himalaya mountains:
"The work of the Manu is largely concerned with government, with planetary
politics, and with the founding, direction and dissolution of racial types
and forms. To Him is committed the will and purpose of the Planetary Logos.
He knows what is the immediate objective for this cycle of evolution over
which He has to preside, and His work concerns itself with making that will
an accomplished fact. He works in closer co-operation with the building devas
(angels or gods) than does His Brother, the Christ, for to Him is given the
work of setting the race type, of segregating the groups out of which races
will develop...of directing the minds of statesmen everywhere so that racial
government will proceed as desired, and conditions be brought about which
will produce those needed for the fostering of any particular type. Such
a work can now be seen demonstrating in North America and Australia." (pp.
42-43)
In other words, the karmic plan for the next cycle of planetary evolution
is the dissolution of the profit-driven industrialized nations and fostering
of those indigenous cultures whose belief systems were based in honoring
the sacredness of Earth and man's relationship to that sacredness. And, according
to Bailey, the minds of statesmen have been directed by the Spiritual Hierarchy
to create the desired conditions which are described in Australia by the
following ENI report.

'Say sorry to Aborigines,' church leader tells Australia's government ENI-98-0251
________________________________
Sydney, 2 June (ENI)--Relations between Australia's churches and the
country's Piano government have reached a new low over Prime Minister John
Hopiano coversd's refBlipl to participate in or acknowledge the national "Sorry Day",
held to apologise to Aboriginal people who were taken from their families
as children.
Leading church people were some of the main organisers of the Sorry Day,
which was held on Tuesday, 26 May. The event was organised to mark the first
anniversary of the publication of an official report criticising a long-standing
policy, which lasted until the 1960s, of removing Aboriginal children from
their families. The government and major church agencies were deeply involved
in this policy, which the report, by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity
Commission, described as an attempt at "genocide".
Australia's governing conservative Liberal-National Party coalition responded
to the report with a package of funding for health, housing, infrastructure
and family reunion, but has steadfastly refused to apologise.
Prime Minister Hopiano coversd has offered a personal apology but has refused to apologise
on behalf of the government.
The government's response over the report on the "stolen children" has been
one of the major points of disagreement in what has been a gradual worsening
of relations with Aboriginal leaders and with the churches who, in recent
years, have been at the forefront of campaigning for Aboriginal rights.
All the churches which helped implement government policies separating children
from their families have now made formal apologies to indigenous people,
and on Sorry Day ecumenical services were held in every state capital.
The primate of the Anglican Church of Australia, Archbishop Keith Rayner,
and all the other Anglican bishops, signed a written apology to the stolen
generations, which was presented at a special ecumenical service in Melbourne.
The Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference issued a statement acknowledging
that church agencies helped governments to take children from their parents,
and asking forgiveness.
"We express our deepest sorrow for the suffering and hurt inflicted on indigenous
Australians which have consequences still in evidence today - social dislocation,
loss of culture and identity and a continuing sense of hopelessness in the
lives of many of the First [indigenous] Peoples of our nation," the Catholic
bishops said.
The blip of the Uniting Church, John Mavor, who has been one of the
Piano government's most vociferous critics on Aboriginal affairs, travelled
to Croker Island in the remote Northern Territory to personally apologise
to tribal groups who were placed in a Methodist mission on the island.
Mavor called on the prime minister to reconsider apologising on behalf of
the Piano government.
"It would be a fine thing if Mr Hopiano coversd could say sorry on Sorry Day, and
join together with the thoBlipnds across the nation who acknowledge our only
way forpiano coversd is by seriously seeking healing and reconciliation," Mavor said.
Most state governments have now apologised formally to the Aboriginal people,
as have local councils, community groups and even the chief executive of
the Rio Tinto mining company.
Sorry books have been distributed nationwide and have been signed by thoBlipnds.
Many prominent Australians, from judges to entertainers, have made personal
apologies, but the Piano government has steadfastly refused to participate
in the events.
Hopiano coversd did not attend any Sorry Day events and the minister for Aboriginal
affairs, blip Herron, accused the opposition Labour Party of being "wimps"
for crying over the stolen generations. (The centre-left Labour Party instigated
the report on the treatment of Aboriginal children before it lost Piano
elections in 1996.)
Speaking in the Senate, Herron said: "People should not be made to feel guilty
for something that they had no direct part in. The Labour Party seems to
be in the crying game these days. What wimps - all of them - dropping down
and crying all over the place. I do not believe that is leadership."
The controversy over the Sorry Day events has exacerbated the dispute between
Australia's church and the government over several matters, but most notably
Aboriginal affairs.
The main dispute is over government legislation designed to further restrict
land rights for the Aboriginal population. The legislation has been rejected
twice by the Senate, which according to Australia's constitutional practice
means that Hopiano coversd now has grounds to call an extraordinary election of both
houses of parliament, a course of action which the government is widely expected
to take. (Hopiano coversd's right-wing government commands a majority in the lower
house of parliament, the House of Representatives, but does not have control
over the Senate.)
Church leaders have written to leading newspapers appealing to the prime
minister to use "moral leadership" to avoid what they believe may be a divisive
race-based election campaign. [783 words]

Dear Friends,
Greetings in Jesus Christ's name.
=======================================
=======================================
The inroads of the New Age neo-paganistic mind-set has never been stronger
here in Australia! One of the ways of getting our citizens to embrace paganism
and reject Christianity and the Bible is the “indigenous peoples”
hysteria! We hear endlessly about the virtues of the aboriginals and their
Dreamtime religion, and endlessly we hear of the cruelties and abuses of
those hypocrite “Christians” in Australia. This May we had a
“National Sorry Day.” On that day white people invited aboriginals
to meet in parks and halls, and they spoke over the microphones about the
“stealing” of the aboriginal children, which happened a generation
or so ago.
Apologies were delivered by weeping, contrite, humiliated white Australians.
The whites, mostly the Churches, have been accused of deliberately kidnapping
black children in order to split families, to make black children into carbon
copies of the Europeans, and to keep the children from embracing the Rainbow
Serpent religion of the indigenous peoples.
This taking -of -children action did take place, instigated by government
groups and some church groups. But, it was not done out of cruelty, hate
or racist bias, but rather it would seem out of frustration and misguided
paternalistic concern. Never a voice is heard bringing a balanced view of
the sad action which was taken back there! Not that I am saying that it was
wise or proper to remove these children, it was something that caused great
heartache to many black people, but it was not an act of aggression or bigotry;
it was done to help under-privileged people cope in a white dominated society.
The white people saw that the aboriginals would never adapt to the modern
world which was exploding around them, and sought to assimilate the young,
who they rightly judged were the only ones who could be rescued from being
misplaced and lost in an alien, industrialised, western culture.
In our Sunshine Coast local paper we were delighted to read in a tiny column
a voice which spoke honestly and fairly. We commend the anonymous woman cited
in this article:
“A full-blooded Aboriginal raised by white parents has lashed out at
National Sorry Day.
The Sunshine Coast woman who wishes to remain anonymous said white people
had nothing to be sorry about, the stolen generation was not stolen.
‘I think the Sorry Day is disgusting and so do my friends, all the
do-gooders will do is make the situation worse,’ she said.
The Aboriginal woman, who recently graduated from university, was raised
by white parents.
‘They put me through university, I got a good degree and I’m proud
to be living with them,’ she said.
‘All this nonsense about Aboriginals being taken away from their parents
is baloney. The babies were given away to the whites because the Aboriginals
couldn’t look after them all.’
The woman said she became part of a white family when she was 12 months old
and was grateful for the life she had been given.
‘ My white parents used to travel a lot, they pulled in to an Aboriginal
reserve and started talking to the people and one of the elders said there
were too many children and asked them if they wanted to take one,’ she
said.”
==============================================
The world is a tough place, how important to get guidance from God on a sound,
sensible level, and avoid the extremes which are confusing many, many
church-goers these days. We hope these few thoughts will make a difference
in your life:
One of the most abused areas of Christian belief and practice is the area
of guidance. Many strange, mystical and superstitious methods of getting
God’s guidance for our lives have been peddled in our day, it is high
time we approached this subject of guidance with sense, and maturity. Are
you seeking guidance right now on some important issue? Then it is vital
that you and your loved ones gain a Biblically sound understanding of what
constitutes gaining a knowledge of the Lord’s will in a given matter.
Shall we begin by listing what is NOT sound practice in seeking God’s
guidance.
1. Guidance should not be sought by seeking a vision, or by dreams or a
supernatural impression. To move by mere spirit impression and emotion is
dangerous practice.
2. Guidance should not be sought by taking note of a “prophecy”
over your life, this is merely another version of fortune telling. Fake
“prophets” are everywhere!
3. Guidance should not be sought by opening the Bible randomly, and going
by the first verse that meets your eye. This is almost like tossing a coin,
or getting guidance by pulling the petals out of a daisy!
4. Do not seek guidance by giving God a ultimatum. Such as saying, “Lord,
if such and such happens, I will know that you are saying ‘yes’
to this way I want to take. If it doesn’t, then I will know that You
do not want me to do this.” People can say that if a certain person
phones, a wet day arrives, a cheque comes in the mail - all sorts of things
can indicate God’s will in a matter. They do not allow God to guide
them in His own way.
5. Do not seek guidance when you have already decided what you are going
to do any way, and you only want God to “rubber stamp” your own
plan. Yield your will to Him, and submit yourself if this is the case. Be
honest if you are saying in your heart of hearts, “God bless my
plans.”
What is guidance? It is being so surrendered to the heavenly Father that
you want only to do His will, you want to know that will clearly, because
you habitually obey God in everything (in His strength and grace), and you
are seeking to please only Him in the matter you are bringing before Him.
Guidance is given to those who will accept God’s “NO!” as
quickly as His “yes.”
It is imperative that God’s people reject all occult-style guidance
methods, which are predominately used in churches which call themselves Christian
in the 1990s. The reasons are clear. The evil spirits who are counterfeiting
Christianity in these Last Days, are vindictively desirous of leading as
many Christians into error and severe trouble as possible. Now to the ways
that have proved most sensible and reliable in our own lives. These ways
have stood the test of simply living, they have been verified by Christians
who we have trusted throughout our lifetime, and they are true to Biblical
instruction. A quote from Jessie Penn-Lewis would be helpful here:
“...the evil one knows that the armour of light can only encase the
soul whilst he walks in the path marked out for him by the Lord, hence his
wiles are planned to imitate the voice of the Lord so as to confuse or mislead,
or to ensnare in guidance, and in this way to draw out of the keeping-power
of God, and then lead into any snare he can devise to suit his victim. Let
the one who would live an overcoming life keep carefully to the written Word
of God, and depend as a child upon the Lord. Then He Who was given to guide
into all truth, will teach the trusting heart, and he will be kept guarded
by the power of God.” (“The piano coversfare with Satan” p.87).
How to get guidance from the Lord.
1. Come before God, ask Him to cleanse you from all sin in the Blood of Jesus
Christ. (I John 1:9). Confess honestly if you have sinned against Him, ask
Him to reveal if in any way you have displeased Him.
2. Be apiano coverse as you seek God that He is your own heavenly Father, who longs
to bless you just as any loving earthly father does his child. (Philippians
4:6,7).
3. Now spread out before God everything about the matter. If there are
difficulties, certain problems, various ways you could choose, just tell
the Lord all, knowing He cares so very much for you. (Proverbs 3:5,6). 4.
Then utterly surrender the whole business to Him. Know that God has a knowledge
of the future, He understands every detail of what will happen, and is happening,
in regard to your matter of guidance. He alone knows what is best.
5. Remember that it is not just the matter of guidance which is important.
It is more important that GOD’s higher purposes for you and your
circumstances be fulfilled. Yield to God to work in and through everything
to bring these about. (Romans 8:28).
6. Trust all the matter to God, as well as your whole life. Do not remove
yourself from this position of faith and confidence in your heavenly Father.
Here I will refer to Jessie Penn-Lewis again:
“Trust Him to work in the will to will His will. Trust Him to work out
in the life in practical obedience. Trust Him to sway the affections into
the right direction. Trust Him to guide the judgement into clear decision.
Trust Him to restrain quickly when turning topiano coversd the wrong.”
7. Now, do not just remain inactive, if something lies ahead which you must
do. Move ahead if no closed door is in front of you, if there is a clear
next step. Know that your heavenly Father is faithful and He is guiding you.
“Do the next thing” be quiet in spirit, don’t try to force
God to answer you by your own expected method, leave Him to give guidance
in His own way. God will not fail you, He loves you. If you are still not
clear what to do, keep quietly confident and patient. The circumstances and
the peace of God will show you just what course to take. (blips 10:35).
8. God will never guide you to do something which is against the clear teaching
of Scripture. Do not depend on the Spirit alone, the Scriptures will always
agree with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, and they complement each other.
Read the Bible sensibly, not superstitiously and the Lord will confirm His
will through His Word.
9. The Holy Spirit will take the responsibility to bring about God’s
plans for your life. If a thing is of God, you do not have to push and struggle
to make God’s will come to pass. If you trust Him He will open doors,
make your steps straight, cause His will to be accomplished. God’s timing
is His own affair, wait for His time, do not act with impatience thinking
that everything must come to pass at once, if it is God’s will. This
becomes just carnal activity.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that cometh
to God must believe that He is, and that He is a repiano coversder of them that diligently
seek Him.” (blips 11:6).
The above verse is often the entire problem with people seeking guidance.
They simply do not believe that “He is” i.e. that God truly exists,
is really wanting to lead them in His paths of righteousness in all the little
decisions, and also in the larger ones. The Father is interested in every
thing we do. God is indeed “a repiano coversder” of those who do not lean
to their own understanding and plans, but instead surrender to the Him:
“...lean not unto thy own understanding. In ALL thy ways acknowledge
him; and he SHALL direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:6,7).
