the New World

Bennett believed in imminent apocalypse: in 1973 he wrote that "we are in the early stages of the Parousia, the Second Coming of Christ which heralds the end of the present world." The old world would disintegrate before the end of the twentieth century. But Bennett did not prophesy outright doom and destruction; rather, he called on men and women to work to create a counter-movement that would lay the foundations for the new world.

Bennett pointed to familiar threatening signs: morally unchecked acceleration of technology - with "knowledge" (that is, largely uninterpreted information) doubling every ten years or less, and visionary leadership able to interpret this information ever more scarce; proliferation of nuclear weapons; population explosion and unstable food supplies; growing scientific evidence of global climatic changes; gigantic government and corporate structures unable to control the chain of events. Bennett foresaw a time of panic and breakdown, during which faith in traditional institutions and governments would be irrevocably lost. After a transitional period of thirty or forty years, a new social order would arise: "It will be neither capitalist nor communist, neither national nor international but consist of largely self-supporting experimental settlements learning to help one another to survive. The big cities will slowly be depopulated and fall into decay. National governments will be replaced by agencies, whose main function will be to maintain the distribution of vital supplies. Life will simplify."

the Meaning of HU


We, for some reason or other, have been put into this world, we've been put into this human body. For me there is no doubt that this has been done for a purpose and we are expected to fulfill that purpose. We've not been sent here for nothing. We haven't even been sent here for our own benefit, because there is something that is required of us. And, we've been sent about as far away as it is possible to be sent without losing contact with the Source, that is without losing the possibility of returning by one's own volition to the Source.
