OUR NEW
FORMAT
We have had our QuadLaser printer for nearly a
year now . Because of software limitations we were
unable to take advantage
of its full capabilities for
awhile. But now, as you
can see, from the appearance of this MONITOR,
this situation is changing.
We are now employing the
Graham
Software's
SC
LASER
PLUS
program
which is designed specifically to take advantage of
the Quadram laser printer's
capabilities. We are now
able to get much more
copy in a MONITOR, and it
should be easier for you to
read. The print is also
quite suitable for typeset ting books and informa tional
pamphlets
and
packets.
TRIALS AND
TRIBULATIONS!
My David Ebaugh file
temporarily vanished. This
delayed my completion of
the newsletter until my return from North Dakota.
Holly and Rebecca, my
diligent secretaries relocated it and it was await ing my return to Detroit.
Unfortunately, I returned
from North Dakota with a
virus that included strep
throat
and
"walking"
pneumonia. My stamina
level has been low, precluding serious concentration and work on the
newsletter.
IS DAVID
EBAUGH A NEW
AGER?
David Ebaugh is a Bible teacher
who is popular in certain areas of
the Ohio Valley; Baltimore, Maryland ; Pennsylvania; and the Pacific Northwest. I have encoun tered people suffering from a
great deal of spiritual confusion
because of Ebaugh's cleverly
worded teachings. He very "subtly" calls his class "New Age
Bible Teachings." But, he has recently insisted he is not a " New
Ager " - a t lea st no t in the sense
of what he calls "the World ' s New
Age Movement."
ls this correct? ls David Ebaugh a
misunderst ood Christian using old time Christian terminology that
the New Agers' have lately appro priated? Or, is David Ebaugh a
wolf in very poor sheep's cloth ing?
After studying Ebaugh's
teachings, I conclude that they are
fully "New Age" in every sense
o f the word . Both h is theology and
his po li ti cal a genda a re class ic a l
New Age - teachings that nobody
at Lucis Trust would mourn over.
The evidence, however, strongly
suggests that Ebaugh is a full fledged New Ager, both in terms
of his theology a nd his political
stance .
The goals of the New Age Move ment a r e (1) a New World Order;
(2) a New World Religion; and (3)
a New Messiah - one they cheer fully admit is NOT Jesus.
Ebaugh meets every one of the
above criteria - and with far less
subtlety than many he would char acterize as part of "the world's
New Age Movement."

EBAUGH'S PERSONAL
BACKGROUND
David Ebaugh is married and a
grandfather. His literature says he
is an electronic engineer by trade.
He claims training from many
sources including the U.S. Navy,
University of Wisconsin, Purdue
University, University of New
York, University of Illinois. His
diploma ca me from the Ins ti lute
of Electronical and Electronic
Engineers in New York City . He
claims he made "significant inventions in typewriters for IBM ."
He says he has been engaged exclusively in Bible teaching. He
operates the David Ebaugh Bible
School. According to Ebaugh's
newsletter, this is mainly a mailorder operation.
Ministry em pbasis
Ebaugh says his ministry deals
with the investigation of "I)
SPIRIT, SOUL, BODY, 2.) NAMl!S
OF GOD, 3.) LAW OR GRACE, 4 .)
RE VE LATJON PROPHECY," and
"5.) IMMORTALITY."
He frankly admits this is an effort
"to produce attitude changes that
prepare the student for the manifestation of the SONS OF GOD."
His ministry circulates tape cassettes from live teaching sessions
in Hershey, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; Westchester; and
Washington, D.C.
Ebaugh has expressed praise for
Pat Robertson in past ne wsl e tiers.
This contrasts sharply with his
treatment of the majority of
evangelical and fundamentalist
preachers whom he claims to excel in revelation knowledge.
Neither
THE
AQUARIAN
GOSPEL, Benjamin Creme, nor
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin could
have said it much better than that!
A student wrote Ebaugh to praise
Jesus. Ebaugh's answer to him is
further suggests his New Age belief that Jesus is not the Christ:
contans a mixture
gospel. It is called the 'gospel of the circlJTlcision.' It is a mixture of law and grace. ...
The NEW AGE wYI, not contain the 'gospel
of the circumcision.
Three salvations?
Ebaugh teaches that there are sep arate salvations for the soul, the
spirit, and the body. According to
David Ebaugh, our spirit is saved
by faith, our soul is saved by faith
and works, anti our body is saved by

PAT
ROBERTSON
Some readers may be offended by
my scrutiny of television talkshow host, would-be United Stales
president Pat Robertson. Since Pat
Robertson has never held public
office this scrutiny is absolutely
essential. He has no voting record
whereby
the
potential
supporter/voter can check his consistency . Therefore, all that remains
are his words and his actions. We
have found many disturbing evidences that he has followed a
course of being "al I things to all
people ." When he is called on his
inconsistencies, he will usually
point to a positive declaration he
made on a matter at a given time,
ignoring the numerous evidences
of contrary stands he has taken. If
these remarks were put on trial,
and the contrary posi lions were
pointed out, il would be the equiv alent of "impeaching the wit ness" in legal parlance . The judge
will instruct a jury that if they
found a witness lo be successfully
impeached, that goes to the issue
of credibility and they are free lo
disregard any or all of that wit ness' testimony .
A CRYSTAL CONNECTION?
Pat Robertson graphically de scribed the decor and arrangement
of his old chapel on page 214 of
his autobiography, SHOUT IT
PROM THE HOUSETOPS:
"Located just to the right of the
front entrance, the chapel was
alive with symbolic meaning.
Everything in the room forced
attention heavenward. A hand carved cross was suspended in the
middle of the room over an uncut
boulder of white crystal rock.
There was no pulpit, only three
concentric
rows of
circular
benches ringing the central point
so that all who entered would
know that Christ was the center,
the rock
upon
which CBN
rested."
Again, the crystal boulder is mentioned on the secontl to last page
(254) of Robertson's book. The
reference reminds one of shades
of HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL:
"Lale that evening, I sat alone in
the quiet prayer chapel. My eyes
moved from the dark red carpel
to the uncut crystal boulder in
the center of the room, lo the
Bible that lay on lop of it, and on
up to the suspended wooden cross.
The door leading out lo the lobby
was closed, and I fell the presence of the Holy Spirit permeate
every corner of the room. .. I
slipped off the circular bench
and knell before the big while
and gray rock whose lousands of
facets gently sparkled, reflect ing the soft light from the ceil ing. Over my bead was the cross,
and directly in front of me was
the open Bible."
SIGNIFICANCE OF CRYSTALS

A recent New Age
book, THE
Page 10
CRYSTAL CONNF.CTION:
A
Guidebook. for Personal and
Planetary Ascension by Randall
N. Baer and Vicki Baer (New
York: Harper & Row, 1986) introduces the subject (page 3) by saying:
"Crystallinity is the code of creation .
The foundational essence and structure
of al 1 manifestation is its crystal 1i ne
ordering, which spans all of existence,
from the subatomic microcosmic levels
to the megadimensional macrocosmic
levels or reality. The precise exactitude
of essence and form inherent in each energetic unit throughout the Universal
Mind derives from, and is sustained by,
causal code-patterns of Ugh t. These code
patterns of Intelligence precipitate as
crystallization structures as they are extended into the expanses of creation,
therein functioning ns templates or
highly ordered stability through which
their imprinted Light-blueprint is enacted in manifestation . The entire omniverse is founded and sustained by a
network of interdimensionally interconnected crystalline code-patterns that
function as the fundamental coordinating blueprints for all vibrational interactions throughout the Universal Mind .
This all-encompassing
network
is
termed the Universal Energy Network
(UEN> ."
