These are the results for the aforementioned quote...not a single legit source:

I've found this:

Now there are many who speak and write about the need for the UN to be more spiritually awake and aware. At a UN briefing of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) last year, Samual R Insanally, past president of the General Assembly, made the statement: "Old policies and strategies, which we have promoted in the past at the United Nations, have led us nowhere. Although I am not a ‘religious’ person … I do believe that the construction of a new world order requires a sense of moral obligation on the part of all nations, both developed and developing, which will give flesh to the concept of interdependence. We need in effect a spiritual catalyst to bring about change. The ethic of self interest must yield to the ethic of co-operation within the larger family of nations.

Sounds like the usual weird stuff new age guys say, but not really sinister.

In many of these instances, the "new age oder" actually sounds something long haired hippies like myself would support, if they'd be more specific on the actual details. Whether (and to what extent) we accept that future problems will require mutual and concentrated action by the developed nations will be the crucial part in determining how good we'll be able to deal with climate change, resource depletion, the energy crisis and our economic development.

To say that this is all garbage, that America is free and wonderful and anybody who tries to "change" this is either a communist or the devil himself trying to lead the world into slavery is just betraying the type of ignorance CTs are famous for.

Where does the Planetary Initiative show itself to be a real and valid part of the UN? The only place I see it is garbage websites

Actually, I was about to mention that Falkner. I discovered that I can't find any connection that he has to the UN except in CT sites.

Wow, hazmatt...that's a really strange opinion of Harry Potter.

Anyway, I still can't find any credible evidence of Spangler being connected to the UN. So, I guess that's just to Theosophy connections that the UN seems to have so far.

Birchers do indeed seem quite strange.

It seems no one else can find a legitimate source for that Spangler quotation either:

Spangler, Lucifer, the United Nations and the New Age
posted 21st August 2007 in Mysteries, Politics, Religion by Jim Cook

This morning, Irregular Times received an e-mail from Sue, who while using capital letters to warn of a conspiracy to implement the impending North American Union was apparently content to let an advertisement inviting me to “Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL” get stuck on the bottom of her message.

I was particularly struck by the following “quote”:

“No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. ” David Spangler of U.N.

Sue’s not alone in referencing this “quote.” Sherry Shriner is a typical example:

Those in the New World Order who are in control of most of the governments of the world already today declare that to become a citizen of this order will require a Luciferian oath.

Accordingly those in the implementation stages proclaim:
“No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation.”

—David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

Amongst all the global governing changes and wars that are taking place to accommodate this New World Order many are overlooking the most dominant aspect of it, its religious and occultic nature.

The New World Order IS about religion. It is about worshipping Lucifer.

Wake up folks!

Notice the lack of hyperlinks? Notice the lack of any attribution whatsoever? I’ve waded through thirty similar websites claiming that David Spangler is a Director of Planetary Initiative at the United Nations, and none have any source for the contention. The United Nations website refers to no Planetary Initiative headed by David Spangler (aha!, you say, hidden just like the black helicopters!). The United Nations website does not refer to any employment of David Spangler (aha!, hidden just like the implanted microchips!). I can find no evidence that this quotation exists anywhere but in the minds of the people who spread it.

Where did the idea come from? The Findhorn Foundation, with which he had some involvement three decades ago, proclaims that it has been an officially recognized United Nations nongovernmental organization. The United Nations specifically states of nongovernmental organizations that work with it:

Please note that association of NGOs with DPI does not constitute their incorporation into the United Nations system, nor does it entitle associated organizations or their staff to any kind of privileges, immunities or special status.

Could this very loose and decades-past association with an organization that indeed is currently associated with the United Nations as an NGO be what sparked this notion?

And why David Spangler? He provides the non-Christian aspect of the conspiracy, as a teacher of online courses through the Lorian Association and the a number of books about spiritual “manifestation”. He’s been in touch with “non-physical entities” and “inner plane beings” for many years now, apparently. If you think that’s especially weird, ask Auntie Gertrude about her weekly habit of drinking God’s kid’s blood. It’s different-enough sounding for somebody to make the “Lucifer” connection and to have it stick, apparently.

The United Nations Lucifer quotation claim appears to be utter baloney. But what a strange and interesting baloney run it has been.

It looks like someone may have altered a real quote by Spangler to say stuff about the NWO:

Here’s a Spangler quote, very similar to the one presented. It’s from ‘Reflections on the Christ’ (1981), Findhorn Lecture Series, Third edition, p. 45.
“The true light of Lucifer cannot be seen through sorrow, through darkness, through reflection.
The true light of this great being can only be recognized when one’s own eyes can see with
the light of the Christ, the light of the inner sun. Lucifer works within each of us to bring us to wholeness, and as we move into the New Age, which is the age of man’s wholeness, each of us is brought to that point which I term the Luciferic Initiation, the particular doorway through which the individual must pass if he is to come fully into the presence of his light and his wholeness.
Lucifer comes to give us the final gift of wholeness. If we accept it, then he is free and we are free, that is the Luciferic Initiation. It is one that many people now, and in the days ahead, will be facing, for it is an initiation into the New Age.”

I believe in Christ in some way and don't think the belief is absurd, but I don't want to tell you what to believe.

But, anyway...David Spangler has said the aforementioned quote...but people altered it so it looked like he was referring to the NWO. He did study Theosophy, etc. But it doesn't seem like he had much of a connection to the UN after all, but Robert Muller is a Theosophist that does have a connection to the UN

"Robert Muller (born 1923 in Belgium, dead September 20, 2010) was an international civil servant with the United Nations. Under Secretary General for 40 years, his ideas about world government, world peace and spirituality led to the increased representation of religions in the UN, especially of New Age Movement. He has become known as the "Philosopher" of the UN."

Questionmark
It does not matter what Robert Muller believes. Because if really study the UN you will notice that it really does not any form of power. For exapmle during the Cold War it was pushed to the sidelines by the USSR and the U.S. Even since the end of the Cold War it has not poven itself any powerful.

Hey questionmark I'm a Christian too, I know how its feels sometimes to just accept the idea of a CT because it fits with our belief system, I find after some research thing seem more to be shoe horned into it.

For example everyone gets uptight when ever "New world order" is said but those words are not in the bible.

One train of thinking that prevented me from spiraling down the CT hole is this........

Lets say all the CT sites are true, what are you expected to do? Run around "spreading the word" don't think so that would be giving false witness, like you mentioned finding sources for a lot of what we are discussing is difficult and/or impossible. Are you to live in fear and paranoia, Bill Cooper claimed to be a Christian but lived his life in fear, such a strong fear he opened fire on some cops, this isn't the kind of life or purpose God has in store for us. The truth is if you believe in the Christian aspect of the CT, then you have to understand that god has everything under control.

Would you not say that is sound logic question? The other thing is I began life as an Atheist, trust me Atheist's (and even other religions)are not some sort evil group out to get you, were are all people who just think different stuff. The people who believe in the Koran actually believe they are following God, they are not a bunch of satanists. Biblical CT's tend to make the world out like its the Christians VS Everyone else who obviously follow Satan.

From there obviously I began to learn that most(99.999%) CT stuff is completely false

Listen to Oprah and Dr.Phil they know all!

Why would an integrated global economic structure be bad? Sounds like "trade" to me, which is the easiest way to find common ground with a different culture.

I see nothing sinister about that quote.

He's being sarcastic. Come on now.

A good understanding of context would alleviate a lot of your concerns over this stuff.

I wonder if the inability to understand context dovetails with putting faith in works of fiction like the Bible.

I wish I had the academic understanding of psychology to say yes or no. Believing something is true simply because you read it a certain way shows a real metacognitive deficiency.

@Hazmatt sounds interesting, I think that could be applied in a much broader speculation.
