As we learned earlier in this series, the United Nations’ vision of education for all children in the world is under the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The humanist Fathers of America’s public education system and founders of UNESCO, along with nonprofit foundations of wealthy elite globalists, activist teachers organized in the world’s largest trade union, and tainted politicians, joined forces to implant a global socialist ideology into every aspect of America’s schools.
The core of the educational movement to transform America’s children into global citizens is not about academics, however. It is a spiritual battle for their souls.
United Nations – A Global Sect
To really understand the United Nations is to understand that it is a religion, a theosophical cult based on an evolutionary vision for mankind and the planet. At its core is unifying all people in an earth-centered spirituality that believes in the sacredness of nature and the Earth.
Earth spirit world worship follows pagan practices of ancient and indigenous religions around the world and involves worship of idols, goddesses, nature, and deities; rituals and rites, meditation, dreams and visions, chanting, mysticism, and divination. Contemporary versions of nature worship and new age spirituality include Gaia worship, Wicca, Druidry, Unitarian Universalism, New Apostolic Reformation, charismatic revivalism, and various New Age religions with personal emotional-experiential practices and those seeking harmony with the rhythms of the Earth and cosmos.
These New Age spiritualities are eclectic but share a belief in a divine-spiritual energy in everything in the universe, and that nature is alive and holy, and to be revered. New Age mystical teachings see a oneness between the earthly-material and spiritual world. The value of human life is believed equal to that of plants or animals or Mother Earth. A “holistic” person is one centered with nature and achieves peace and harmony with the planet. Through contemplative prayer or meditation to cleanse and open the mind, they believe man can experience direct new mystical revelations from God and become one with God, one with nature, and achieve global unity with all people.
“Eco-spirituality” is one rendition of earth-centered spirituality gaining in popularity. Its supporters try to deny that it’s a New Age religion or pagan worship. But it is. It is a false worship of mother Gaia, and an Earth-derived spirituality apart from Christ in the Bible. Bereans describe it as a “pagan green movement” that Christians should biblically challenge. Eco-spirituality is embraced by countless foundations aligned with the UN, ecumenical environmental groups, fallen religious leaders, and by the interfaith movement which has incorporated environmental sustainability, UN’s SDGs, and climate change radicalism. The global Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development has even rewritten Scriptures to create its own Eco-Bible.
As unbelievable as this may sound, the evidence for UN’s cult spirituality has been out in the open all along. Pagan idols are just one illustration. Outside the UN Headquarters is a giant jaguar-eagle idol called the “guardian for international peace and security.”
A carved goddess spirit figure and a bird with spread wings hangs above the UN Trusteeship Council Chamber. Commissioned in 1953, it represents mankind’s flight upward to greater heights in the same spirit as the wings of the bird.
Christians will recognize its likeness to the carved images of Asherah, the false pagan goddess of the Old Testament, part of the offensive practices of the nations that the LORD drove out. (1 Kings 15:13, 2 Kings 21:7) This goddess was a Canaanite cultic deity, Earth Mother and Fertility Goddess, Queen of Heaven, and the mother of Baal, according to ancient mythologies.
Asharah worship involved sexual immorality, divination, fortune telling, and human sacrifices of the firstborn child. It was evil in the sight of the LORD, an abomination, heretical, and disobedience to God, according to Scripture.
As Christians recognize, all such idolatry breaks God’s First Commandment.
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.” − Exodus 20:2-3
World Core Curriculum – New Age Spirituality
Teaching children to see all people on the earth as one interconnected and global family has used an unproven learning theory: experiential, emotional learning, and programming children in a “global consciousness.” It’s part of a long list of learning theory myths. Like all of them, the experimental learning theory being imposed on public school children has decades of research showing no evidence of positively helping student learning or academic performance.
Nonetheless, the same entities that orchestrated Common Core came together again in 1985 to call for school curriculums to focus on globalism. The National Education Association (NEA) and its Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) lobbied intensely nationwide and worldwide, pushing for the adoption of the “World-Core Curriculum” and its “holistic education.” ASCD even pressed for the curriculum at a 12-nation curriculum symposium held in the Netherlands.
The World Core Curriculum became so internationally recognized, it earned its creator, Robert Muller (1923-2010), the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 1989 and launched the UN’s Global Education Project, founded on his curriculum.
This curriculum was aligned with UN’s SDGs and based on guidelines from the book, New Genesis: Shaping A Global Spirituality by Muller written while he was assistant secretary-general of the United Nations.
Muller’s vision for a new one-world religion, “a global spirituality,” was based on his rewriting of Genesis in the Bible − where his version of the first seven days of creation brought: a new era of the Earth, Planet of Peace, Planet of Happiness, Planet of Justice, Golden Planet, Planet of Reason, and on the seventh day, the Planet of God.
Muller’s book also envisioned a New Age Jesus who was politically progressive and taught oneness, unity and brotherhood through a worldwide spiritual ecumenism. “If Christ came back to earth, his first visit would be to the United Nations to see if his dream of human oneness and brotherhood had come true,” he wrote.
Christians will recognize global ecumenism as the unbiblical false teachings that God warned against 2,000 years ago. As Spiritual Research Network explained in an in-depth article of this false doctrine: “Global ecumenism is a compromised unity that feverishly utilizes Christian nomenclature (words, terms, expressions), but at its very core rejects biblical unity.”
The falsehoods of the coming new world religion were described in a series by Biblical scholars at Berean Call, also available on YouTube.
“See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.” – Matthew 24:4
Next, we’ll learn who Robert Muller was, what he believed, and how he came to be known as the Father of Global Education.
