       Living and Ascended Masters and Shadow Governments
       Henry A. Wallace and Theosophy

       He (Wallace) made foreign affairs the main focus of his
       campaigning, telling one audience that "the replacement of
       Roosevelt ... would cause [Adolf] Hitler to rejoice." Although
       both campaigns predicted a close election, Roosevelt won 449 of
       the 531 electoral votes and won the popular vote by a margin of
       nearly ten points.
       Religious explorations and Roerich controversy
       Wallace was raised in the Calvinist branch of Protestant
       Christianity, but showed an interest in other religious
       teachings during his life.[66] He was deeply interested in
       religion from a young age, reading works by authors like Ralph
       Waldo Emerson, Ralph Waldo Trine, and William James, whose The
       Varieties of Religious Experience had a particularly strong
       impact on Wallace.[169] After his grandfather's death in 1916,
       he left the Presbyterian Church and became increasingly
       interested in mysticism. He later said, "I know I am often
       called a mystic, and in the years following my leaving the
       United Presbyterian Church I was probably a practical mystic ...
       I'd say I was a mystic in the sense that George Washington
       Carver was – who believed God was in everything and therefore,
       if you went to God, you could find the answers." Wallace began
       regularly attending meetings of the pantheistic Theosophical
       Society, and, in 1925, he helped organize the Des Moines parish
       of the Liberal Catholic Church.[170] Wallace left the Liberal
       Catholic Church in 1930 and joined the Episcopal Church, but he
       continued to be interested in various mystic groups and
       individuals.[171]
       Among those who Wallace corresponded with were author George
       William Russell,[172] astrologer L. Edward Johndro, and Edward
       Roos, who took on the persona of a Native American medicine
       man.[173] In the early 1930s, Wallace began corresponding with
       Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian émigré, artist, peace
       activist, and Theosophist.[174] With Wallace's support, Roerich
       was appointed to lead a federal expedition to the Gobi Desert to
       collect drought-resistant grasses.[175] Roerich's expedition
       ended in a public fiasco, and Roerich fled to India after the
       Internal Revenue Service launched a tax investigation.[176]
       The letters that Wallace wrote to Roerich from 1933 to 1934 were
       eventually acquired by Republican newspaper publisher Paul
       Block.[177] The Republicans threatened to reveal to the public
       what they characterized as Wallace's bizarre religious beliefs
       prior to the November 1940 elections but were deterred when the
       Democrats countered by threatening to release information about
       Republican candidate Wendell Willkie's rumored extramarital
       affair with the writer Irita Van Doren.[178] The contents of the
       letters did become public seven years later, in the winter of
       1947, when right-wing columnist Westbrook Pegler published what
       were purported to be extracts from them as evidence that Wallace
       was a "messianic fumbler", and "off-center mentally". During the
       1948 campaign Pegler and other hostile reporters, including H.
       L. Mencken, aggressively confronted Wallace on the subject at a
       public meeting in Philadelphia in July. Wallace declined to
       comment, accusing the reporters of being Pegler's stooges.[179]
       Many press outlets were critical of Wallace's association with
       Roerich; one newspaper mockingly wrote that if Wallace became
       president "we shall get in tune with the Infinite, vibrate in
       the correct plane, outstare the Evil Eye, reform the witches,
       overcome all malicious spells and ascend the high road to health
       and happiness."[180]

       The movement centers on the Neo-Theosophical religious doctrine
       of Agni Yoga, or the Living Ethics

       Alice Ann Bailey (June 16, 1880 – December 15, 1949) was a
       writer of more than twenty-four books on theosophical subjects,
       and was one of the first writers to use the term New Age.

       A lot of these types of groups and movements postulate some
       cadre of living and ascended masters.  They also want to bring
       about some kind of unseen krypto government, and they are
       inherently anti-Democratic and anti-Socialist.  And I am
       including as one of these groups the German Nazi Party.
