This maitreya must not be very powerful at all if a simple prayer can keep him away.
I intially thought this information was nonesense until I experienced very strange manifestations of energy whenever I read Share International magazine or any of the books written by Mr. Creme. This pushed me to do a little more digging and then Maitreya came and visited me and convinced me that He does exist and that he must have an incredibly high, advanced spiritual status. I have met Mr. Creme several times to attend a transmission meditation meeting and I don't think he is a fraud. He is an interesting man, he has an attitude that he doesn't care if you believe him or not, he just presents his message and leaves it to the individual to come to their own conclusion. He seems rather detached from the whole business which initially surprised me but I now understand that he is just making people aware of this and that he isn't trying to convince anyone. Mr. Creme hasn't made any predicitions as Maitreya came forward in 1977 when he left his abode deep in the Himalayan mountains and moved to London. It is then simply a matter of time until he makes himself known to the entire population of the world.
In January 1980 Mr Creme was invited to the USA for the first time and by January 1982 had given over 90 lectures in 28 states, and over 70 radio and television interviews. In January 1982 Share International magazine was launched. It was a truly international, collaborative effort, produced by volunteers in the UK, Holland and the USA.
On 3 February 1982 Mr Creme appeared on the famous US Merv Griffin show alongside author Gore Vidal, which reached tens of millions. Afterwards, Tara Center, the US headquarters in Los Angeles, received around 200 new enquiries each day.
In March 1982, following intense US media attention, the Emergence groups embarked on a worldwide advertising campaign to alert the press and public to Maitreya’s presence. Within weeks $250,000 had been raised, mainly by small donations. On 24 and 25 April 1982 millions of readers of 18 major newspapers across the world saw the full-page advertisement. It began: 'The world has had enough of hunger, injustice, war. In answer to our call for help, as World Teacher for all humanity, the Christ is now here.'
The advertisements evoked widespread interest, which continued for many years. People still remember, today, the renewed hope these advertisements gave them.
An invitation for Maitreya to speak was still needed from the media, to allow Him to declare Himself openly, and it was hoped that the advertisements and recent media coverage would bring this about. However, Benjamin Creme’s Master revealed to him that the Hierarchy had 'a contingency plan'. Asked what that might be, his Master replied: 'Hold a press conference. Tell the world what you know.'
A press conference, therefore, was organised at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, on 14 May 1982. Over 90 journalists attended, from ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, BBC, The Times, The New York Times, Newsweek and Time magazine, and other major media. The event was linked via satellite to the UK’s BBC Nationwide programme. Benjamin Creme announced for the first time where Maitreya was living – the Asian community of London, UK. The journalists were open to the information and even applauded about the need for sharing and justice. Mr Creme appealed for a small group of respected journalists to be assigned to go to London to 'go through the motions only of looking for Maitreya'. Maitreya would then allow Himself to be discovered. Mr Creme recalls: 'When the American media asked the BBC what they were planning to do, they replied: 'Nothing.' The Americans said: 'But why not? It is a fantastic story.' The BBC’s reply was: ‘We know, but we are waiting for more tangible evidence.’ No journalists were appointed to the task, so Maitreya could not come forward.
Although it was seen by the Masters as a 'long shot worth taking', it was hoped that Maitreya would be revealed after the press conference. As we know, the plan did not follow that timescale. Maitreya could not become public without an invitation, otherwise it would infringe our freewill. He therefore embarked on a slower process of emergence, which is now nearing completion. But the events of 1982 were seen by Hierarchy as a tremendous success for the Emergence work: millions were made aware for the first time of Maitreya and His message. The effort and energy expended in this extraordinary year of concentrated, service activity had profound karmic results. In the last 30 years thousands have found their life’s work in preparing the way for Maitreya. Enormous changes have taken place in response to His energies, and millions have been inspired to work for world transformation. Today humanity is awakening, and is ready to work together to build a new world.
