“Examples of the “new spirituality” can already be found in organs of the coming unified world government, such as the United Nations. “But in order to supply people with a ‘spiritual’ basis for one world government, there has to be something higher: and in the ideas of the United Nations, for example, we see something that looks like a spiritual answer,” taught Father Seraphim Rose. “The UN claims to be for the foundation of one world government which will not be a tyranny, not based upon any particular idea like Communism, but on something very vague with no Christian basis for it. In fact, about twenty years ago they built a meditation chapel in the UN building, and at that time they had a big discussion about what would be the object of worship in it. You can’t have a Cross, because then you’re immediately branded as Christian; you can’t have anything Moslem or Hindu because again you’re identified; it has to be above all religions. Finally they decided on a black stone block. People experience an awesome feeling before it, as before an idol: a very vague kind of religious interest.”

I think some hospital chapels have similar appearances.
