The Maitreya Thread

[mcwillis]

This is a very brief introduction. If you would like to investgate this further then I would highly recommend reading Maitreya's Mission, volumes I, II & III All the major religions expect a further revelation to be given by a future Teacher. Christians hope for the return of the Christ, the Buddhists look for the coming of another Buddha, while Muslims await the Imam Mahdi, the Hindus a reincarnation of Krishna, and the Jews the Messiah. Students of the esoteric tradition know these as different names for the same individual - Maitreya, the World Teacher - and they look for his imminent return now, at the head of his group of Masters of Wisdom. They are people like us, who have gone before us in evolution and who have always guided and inspired humanity from behind the scenes. Preferring to be known simply as the Teacher, Maitreya has not come as a religious leader, but as an educator in the broadest sense - pointing the way out of humanity's most critical problems. At this time of great political, economic, social and environmental crisis, Maitreya will inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, and global cooperation. Maitreya does not intend to build a new religion around himself, nor to create followers, but to teach humanity 'the art of Self-realization.' The first steps are 'honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit, and detachment.' Maitreya's social concerns are reflected in his list of priorities: an adequate supply of the right food, adequate housing for all, healthcare and education as universal rights. He will advocate that the number one priority, after the ending of starvation for millions, will be the saving of the environment. His social message can be summarised in a few words: 'Share and save the world.' Maitreya knows we will accept his message and that we are on the threshold of an era of peace and goodwill. Five people around the world were chosen to disseminate information about Maitreya but only one man answered the call. Information about Maitreya's emergence has come primarily from Benjamin Creme, a British artist and author who has been speaking and writing about this event since 1974. According to Creme, Maitreya descended in July 1977 from his ancient retreat in the Himalayas and took up residence in the Indian-Pakistani community of London. He has been living and working there, as a seemingly ordinary man, his true status known to relatively few. Maitreya has been emerging gradually into full public view so as not to infringe humanity's free will. As a modern man concerned with today's problems, Maitreya has worked on many levels since 1977 to prepare humanity for his outward presence. From behind the scenes, the outpouring of his extraordinary energy has been the stimulus for dramatic and positive changes on many fronts, including the fall of communism in the Soviet Union, the end of apartheid in South Africa, the rapprochement between East and West, the growing strength of the people’s voice in many countries, and the worldwide focus on preserving the environment. In 1988, Maitreya began appearing, both in person and in dreams, to well-known leaders in various countries and to many ordinary citizens. On June 11, 1988, he appeared ‘out of the blue’ before 6,000 people at an open-air prayer/healing meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, where he was instantly recognized as the Christ. The event, with photographs, was reported in the Kenya Times and subsequently picked up by news media around the world. After this event, until 2001, Maitreya appeared regularly before gatherings of orthodox religious groups worldwide. He addressed them briefly in their own language and was recognized by the majority of people in attendance as their awaited Teacher. He also created healing springs of water in the areas near these appearances. The healing waters in Mexico, Germany, and India have drawn millions of visitors. On April 21-22, 1990, Maitreya held a weekend conference in London for around 200 world leaders or their emissaries from the fields of government, business, science, religion and journalism. Many pledged their co-operation to help implement his priorities. In June 1988, an associate of Maitreya indicated that the signs of Maitreya’s presence in the world would continue to increase. 'He is going to flood the world with such happenings that the mind can never comprehend it.' Soon after, a steady stream of unexplained phenomena began - and continues to this day: weeping and bleeding statues of the Madonna and Jesus, healing crosses of light and springs of water, divine messages inscribed within fruits and vegetables, bronze and stone sacred statues that appear to drink milk, and remarkable light patterns on buildings and pavements. The most recent of these events is the appearance of a large, brilliant 'star' - visible both night and day around the world. Through such signs and manifestations, now widely reported in the media, Maitreya has touched the hearts of millions, preparing them for his public emergence. These 'miracles' also strengthen people's faith and give them a sense of hope and expectancy for the future. Since January 2009, the brilliant 'star-like luminary' has been seen by thousands around the world and reported in Share International magazine, on YouTube websites and in mainstream media. Benjamin Creme’s information is that the 'star' heralds Maitreya’s emergence into public work, and that it will continue to appear in the sky until the Day of Declaration. At his London lecture on 14 January 2010, Benjamin Creme announced that Maitreya had recently given his first television interview, on a major US network, inaugurating his public work. By the end of 2010 Maitreya had given more than two dozen such interviews. (Neither Share International nor any of its affiliated groups worldwide are notified of the time, date or venue of these television appearances.) Introduced not as Maitreya but as a seemingly ordinary man, he continues in these interviews to propose practical solutions to our pressing global problems. He will become known for his insightful analysis of the world’s needs and his call for justice and freedom for all. At the earliest possible moment, Maitreya will reveal his true identity. Through a growing public response to his presence and ideas, he will be invited to speak to the entire world. On this Day of Declaration, to be seen worldwide via linked television networks, Maitreya will mentally 'overshadow' all of humanity simultaneously, and each of us will hear his words telepathically in our own language. Even those who are not watching Maitreya on television will have this experience. His energy of love will enter the hearts of all, galvanizing humanity to save the world. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of spontaneous healings will take place throughout the world. In this way we will know that Maitreya is truly the World Teacher for all humanity. Between 1988 and 1993, an associate of Maitreya conducted regular briefings with two London-based journalists, relaying Maitreya’s teachings and forecasts of world events. The information was made available to the world’s press and also published in Share International magazine. Maitreya predicted dramatic and unexpected international events weeks, months, or years before they happened. He foresaw the release of Nelson Mandela and the process of détente in South Africa. He stated that governments everywhere would have to give way to the 'voice of the people', a statement which found its most impressive proof in Eastern Europe and the fall of the Soviet Union. As early as June, 1988, Maitreya announced that a world stock market crash would begin in Japan. In 1989 the Japanese stock market lost 40% of its value, and in subsequent years the crisis spread to Eastern Europe, the Asian 'tiger economies', Russia and Argentina. The financial collapse hit the USA hard in 2008 and continues to have worldwide repercussions. These forecasts were given primarily to illuminate one of the most important spiritual laws governing our lives: the Law of Cause and Effect, also known as the Law of Karma. By comprehending and working within this law, Maitreya says, we can resolve the present social, political, economic, and environmental crises. Between September 1977 and June 1982, British author and lecturer Benjamin Creme received a series of 140 messages from Maitreya, the World Teacher. These were given during Creme's public lectures in London via a process of mental overshadowing or spiritual telepathy, which is not related to mediumship or channelling. Through these communications Maitreya suggests the actions that must be taken for the needed economic and social changes to take place. He encourages humanity to rebuild the world based upon the principles of brotherhood, sharing, and love. He also gives hints on how to recognize him and urges people to make known the fact of his presence. Many people today are looking for a way to help the world and build a stronger connection with their own spiritual nature. Transmission Meditation is the simplest way to do both - at the same time. Transmission Meditation is a group service activity which 'steps down' the great spiritual energies that continually stream into our planet. During transmission, the Masters of Wisdom direct these energies from the spiritual planes through the energy centers (chakras) of the group members in a highly scientific manner. This process makes the energies more useful to humanity and the other kingdoms in nature. Based on their wise understanding of our world, the Masters re-direct these stepped down energies to wherever they are most needed at that moment in time - thus transforming our world for the better. Transmission Meditation is a safe, scientific, non-denominational activity. It will not interfere with any religious or spiritual practice. On the contrary, it will enhance your personal meditation and any other spiritual activities in which you may be engaged.

Your image has returned a 404 error not found. Around 36 million people have now heard this information; about 12 million totally believe it; about 12 million reject it outright; about 12 million keep an open mind and watch events unfold. 17 years ago I rejected it outright, until I me Maitreya a few weeks later and he proved his spirtitual status to me.

[RationalMystic]

My cult senses are tingling. However, I will reserve judgement until I've heard more but you're going to have to do better then what looks to me as a copy and paste job. Tell us why you believe that this guy is the Maitreya fortold by the buddich texts.

Tell us why you believe that this guy is the Maitreya fortold by the buddich texts. I was wondering if anyone was going to experience 'the tingles'. 17 years ago I experienced the tingles whenever I read Share International magazine. Because of this it prompted me to research the story further even though it seemed preposterous to me. I don't have to do any better as you put it. My intent is not to convince anyone but merely to present the information to people. I may describe my meeting with Maitreya later.

[Original Poster]

I would be interested in hearing it. At least tell me if this is an ascended master or a public figure. Is it that chick in India giving people the hugs? Is it Thich Naht Hanh? Or Alex Jones? Does David Wilcock know him? Does he have a scottish accent? I know that doesn't agree with your story but I automatically trust everything someone says to me if their accent is scottish. I can't help it. I know an interfaith minister who claims her husband is the reincarnation of John the Baptist. He doesn't have a scottish accent though, so I don't buy it.

[RationalMystic]

I have a feeling that this is something thats going to bring about a maelstorm of skepdicks and fluffy bunnies so I will follow your advice and just research it myself. If I feel that theres something to it, I'll give you a p.m. If not, well...

If I feel that theres something to it, I'll give you a p.m. If not, well... Ah, you are just like me in the sense that when I first came across this information the tingles were showing me that there was more to this than I thought. The tingles to me were specific, far different from the tingles I feel from meditation or when I give spiritual healing to someone. I was in the process of hunting down the article printed in the Kenya Times because that was intriguing to say the least. A few days later I had my meeting with Maitreya; he came to me. I don't say that to boast, it is just what happened. This is a lonely thread but if the 'Day of Declaration' does happen in the not too dim and distant future I can see people starting Maitreya threads across the whole forum! Feel free to ask me any questions here, I am not an expert but I know the whole background fairly well.

The Ascended Master gets thrown about quite a lot by 'New Age' authors. There are five planetary initiations that one must pass throught to achieve Masterhood. Once one has taken the fifth initiation it means that one has ended one's cycle of reincarnation on Earth. An ascended master is a master that has taken the sixth initiation, Jesus being a good example. Maitreya is a seventh degree master. Maitreya is not a chick in India giving hugs. Nor Thich Naht Hanh. Nor Alex Jones. I have emailed Alex asking him to interview Mr. Creme about Maitreya, but as I expected Alex is stuck in some of his views and hasn't done so. I don't know who David Wilcock is.

His social message can be summarised in a few words: 'Share and save the world.' Maitreya knows we will accept his message and that we are on the threshold of an era of peace and goodwill. This is irritatingly accurate in the sense that anybody worthy of the accolades you want to stick on some poor, humble teacher would endorse these goals and so you can prop up any poor, humble teacher (or con-man) as being the Maitreya (and please, could you find your own name? This one's been taken since at least the third Buddhist Council) that you are so desperately waiting for. And also, I've looked at these people as part of my study of "Buddhist" cults. They're totally a cult and not even Buddhist.

I'm still interested in hearing more about how you met this teacher. And what they're like.

The first time Mr. Creme predicted that Maitreya's appearance was imminent was in spring (April) of 1982. He took out ads in many newspapers all over the world proclaiming that the Christ was among us as a mature adult man and was about to declare Himself to the world. After this seemingly passed without event, he continued to make more and more predictions, his teachings became more and more complicated and confused, and after 30+ years of predictions, supposed signs and miracles, etc., still his Maitreya has not materialized, and no one really knows who he is talking about. HOWEVER, there WAS a Maitreya who declared himself in 1982, in the same month actually (April), with no previous knowledge of Mr. Creme's prediction! (More info: maitreya.org/english/ADS.HTM ) After people started coming to him and asking if he was the one Mr. Creme was talking about, this Maitreya sent a message to Mr. Creme letting him know his prediction had been fulfilled, and inviting him to join Maitreya in their common cause. But apparently it was not what Mr. Creme was expecting. Here is what Maitreya has to say about it: "This situation with Mr. Creme has a similarity to past history. John the Baptist also came before Christ and proclaimed His imminent manifestation. However, when Christ came, he did not recognize Him. Indeed it was after John died that his disciples went to Christ and asked Him if He was the One..." maitreya.org/english/Newsbrief/2011/6-November-December/Maitreya/No-Other.htm All of Mr. Creme's current teachings about ascended masters, miracles and signs, a Maitreya that builds his own body, teleports and appears to people, etc., none of this is scriptural, and indeed brings to mind Christ's warning that the false prophets will show wonders and signs as their proof. However we also cannot deny that the prophecies of the end times are being fulfilled around us, and so we should be expecting and searching for the Prophet of God to return, as He prophesied He would (in all religions and cultures they have this expectation). I indeed submit to you that the True Maitreya, the Prophet of God, is here, and has been here for 30+ years. He is not any ascended master, ethereal being, built his own body, or any of these false signs, but a normal human, born from a woman, as all of God's Prophets have been (Krishna, Buddha, Abraham, Christ, Muhammad, Bab and Baha'u'llah, etc.). The proof he offers of his authority is instead the hundreds of Prophecies he has fulfilled from all world religions and cultures, and the Teaching of great truth and authority that he has brought. His teaching does exactly what Mr. Creme predicts Maitreya to do: Unifies all the religions of the world and shows clearly how all are from the same, One God; gives the complete path to salvation, internally and externally, individually and collectively, for all of humanity; shows the way to peace on earth and the coming of the Kingdom; and fulfills the expectations of all religions, cultures, and spiritual people for the coming of the end times and a new era. I challenge you all to study Maitreya's literature, prophecies fulfilled, etc. and prove it to yourself that he is indeed the True Maitreya, the Prophet of God: maitreya.org

Strong first post Let's see, from the website you posted: The very base of this final Revelation reveals that each major religion on earth has a specific message. Only when these separated messages are realized and put together will the path to God and the Kingdom on earth be revealed. This path is called the “Eternal Divine Path.” So, not only are the major religions on earth not contradictory, but in fact they are complementary. The Miracle of this Revelation is this amazing message of unification of God’s Revelations! Anyone got a clue a on that one? It also says this It has been predicted that after the opening of the Seven Seals, which is this Revelation, there will be a period of silence or pause (a chance for humanity to respond to this Call), and then comes the day that Babylon The Great (egoistical ways) will fall. The groundwork for this to happen is set, and we are going toward that day fast. It is after this great fall that the coming of the Kingdom is predicted and will be accelerated. So we are in-between the time that this Revelation was foretold to come and the fall of Babylon The Great. As the people of Nineveh averted the disasters from happening to them, we also can stop this prediction if we see these Truths and come together. So any clue on this? I have no clue.

[mcwillis]

you are so desperately waiting for. Im not desperate. If humanity continues on it's course of self destruction then I will probably have died of old age before the shit really hits the fan. I do however wish to experience the open declaration by Maitreya which should be within the next few years. Remember, I have been following this story for 17 years. And also, I've looked at these people as part of my study of "Buddhist" cults. They're totally a cult and not even Buddhist. This is the biggest misconception people have. Maitreya is not a buddhist nor a member of a buddhist cult. He is not here to promote buddhism or any other religion for the matter. He will be a universal teacher for those that belong to any religion and for those who belong to no religion. I'm still interested in hearing more about how you met this teacher. And what they're like. I think I will Omnis, give me some time.

[mcwillis]

@Noor I will reply to your post soon. The guy in that website maitreya.org is not Maitreya as far as Im concerned. The official website for Maitreya is share-international.org

Sal-Om (we pay our Salutations to the Divinity within you) Omnis Dei, I can offer you some links for further study of the parts you have quoted: Strong first post Let's see, from the website you posted: "The very base of this final Revelation reveals that each major religion on earth has a specific message. Only when these separated messages are realized and put together will the path to God and the Kingdom on earth be revealed. This path is called the “Eternal Divine Path.” So, not only are the major religions on earth not contradictory, but in fact they are complementary. The Miracle of this Revelation is this amazing message of unification of God’s Revelations!" Anyone got a clue a on that one? This is the very base of Maitreya's teachings. For a very brief/condensed explanation of the Eternal Divine Path and the unification of religions, you can see the explanation of our symbol, The Greatest Sign, which shows this symbolically: maitreya.org/english/GS.HTM For a more detailed explanation, see Maitreya's primary writing and Scripture, The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament: maitreya.org/english/THOTH.HTM Or search our website for "Eternal Divine Path" for many explanations in discourses, etc. It also says this It has been predicted that after the opening of the Seven Seals, which is this Revelation, there will be a period of silence or pause (a chance for humanity to respond to this Call), and then comes the day that Babylon The Great (egoistical ways) will fall. The groundwork for this to happen is set, and we are going toward that day fast. It is after this great fall that the coming of the Kingdom is predicted and will be accelerated. So we are in-between the time that this Revelation was foretold to come and the fall of Babylon The Great. As the people of Nineveh averted the disasters from happening to them, we also can stop this prediction if we see these Truths and come together. So any clue on this? I have no clue. Bible, Revelation 8:1: "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." And if you read the rest of Revelation chapter 8, and beyond, you see the disasters are then cast upon the earth. There are other similar prophecies elsewhere in the Bible and in other religions of a period of silence or quiet after the Prophet comes and before the full tribulation begins. For example, that Christ will return as a thief in the night, or many Native American prophecies. Also see Maitreya's Letter to Humanity: maitreya.org/english/Letters/Leaders/letter_to_leaders.htm And the fall of Babylon The Great: maitreya.org/english/Newsbrief/2011/3-May-June/Maitreya/Babylon-The-Great-Has-Fallen.htm I will reply to your post soon. The guy in that website maitreya.org is not Maitreya as far as Im concerned. The official website for Maitreya is share-international.org And as far as I'm concerned, the official website for Maitreya is maitreya.org. Mr. Creme had a role to play in Maitreya's coming, and he has played it. Every prediction he has made since 1982 has not come to pass, and after 30+ years his supposed 'Maitreya' is still hiding in shadowy corners, full of claims and very little results. But you can follow your Maitreya and I will follow mine, and we will see who is the correct one in the end!

Sorry if my post didn't make that clear (which in retrospect it didn't). I think there is something to it but this new christ thing smells of serious bs and how can this guy claim to not be buddist when hes taken his name from the predicted future buddah.

He took out ads in many newspapers all over the world proclaiming that the Christ was among us as a mature adult man and was about to declare Himself to the world. Great you could join in the discussion Noor. We have differing opinions but I respect yours completely. You are completely missing the point about timescale here as you haven't followed the story to the depth that I have. We think of imminent as being next week or next month. To the masters imminent can mean years, decades or even centuries but with regards to Maitreya it is referring to years. Remember they are working with laws and forces that the human mind cannot comprehend, we are talking about a great planetary event here, these things do not happen overnight. It was six years after Maitreya accepted an invite to do an interview on US tv before he did the interview. And let's not forget the media coverup's as well, they are very telling - January 1986: Maitreya interviewed and filmed by the BBC over several months. Promise of a press statement about Maitreya is given by the BBC, but later withdrawn. 26 February 1987: Maitreya interviewed by CNN. Film never broadcast. After this seemingly passed without event, he continued to make more and more predictions, his teachings became more and more complicated and confused, and after 30+ years of predictions, supposed signs and miracles, etc., still his Maitreya has not materialized, and no one really knows who he is talking about. They are not supposed. Lets take the milk drinking statues of Ganesh in 1995 as just one of many examples. India was in pandemonium on that day. So much so that the stock market and the government closed for the day. He hasn't materialised yet because of the above said 'timescale'. All of Mr. Creme's current teachings about ascended masters, miracles and signs, a Maitreya that builds his own body, teleports and appears to people, etc., none of this is scriptural, and indeed brings to mind Christ's warning that the false prophets will show wonders and signs as their proof. However we also cannot deny that the prophecies of the end times are being fulfilled around us, and so we should be expecting and searching for the Prophet of God to return, as He prophesied He would (in all religions and cultures they have this expectation). On a funny note it is scriptural. The Bible says the Christ will come from the sky like a thief in the night. Maitreya caught a plane from Pakistan and landed in London in 1977 and no-one knew but a normal human, born from a woman, as all of God's Prophets have been So was Maitreya. He was born of a woman and took the fifth initiation and has been living in the Himalayan mountains for approximately 90,000 years since taking that initiation. In fact his original physical body is still there. The one he is living in in London is a body of light that Maitreya has manifested that cannot be destroyed, just in case a religious fanatic was to try and blow him up for example. This is not the reason he has created this body of light, it just best serves his purpose. I challenge you all to study Maitreya's literature, prophecies fulfilled, etc. and prove it to yourself that he is indeed the True Maitreya, the Prophet of God: maitreya.org But what about the other, other Maitreya in Japan? Have you studied his teachings as well as your Maitreya and the Maitreya I am talking about? And there are probably more.

Errr when I said maelstorm of skepdicks and fluffy bunnies, I was refering to this thread, not the appearence of this Maitreya. Sorry if my post didn't make that clear (which in retrospect it didn't). I think there is something to it but this new christ thing smells of serious bs and how can this guy claim to not be buddist when hes taken his name from the predicted future buddah. He hasn't taken that name. I think it is the other way round and buddhism has latched itself onto Him. Tibetan buddhists in particular are the most highly evolved people on the planet generally due to their fanatical, super-human meditational practices. In fact I believe that Mr. Creme's Master that telepathically dictates most of the info Mr. Creme receives is the Master Djwahl Khul who was at the turn of the 20th Century an Abbot overseeing several monastries in Tibet. Because of the high level of cosciousness of some of these monks throughout modern history some of them have been made aware of the existance of Maitreya. In fact some of them may have met him as the Masters do congregate in the Himalaya's at the time of the Wesak festival that takes place every May in that region. I believe over time, with religious fanaticism Maitreya has become embroiled in the buddhist tradition by the less enlightened buddhists. This is just my theory and I have nothing to back this up.

This path is called the “Eternal Divine Path.” So, not only are the major religions on earth not contradictory, but in fact they are complementary. The Miracle of this Revelation is this amazing message of unification of God’s Revelations! Anyone got a clue a on that one? Noor is quite correct when he says that not only are the major religions on earth not contradictory, but in fact they are complementary. There is a great book by Dr. O. P. Ghai, 'Unity in Diversity' which describes very well the underlying unity between the great living religions of the world. Obviously they differ in many different ways but when it comes to how we should live life thay are all singing from the same proverbial hymn sheet. It also says this It has been predicted that after the opening of the Seven Seals, which is this Revelation, there will be a period of silence or pause (a chance for humanity to respond to this Call), and then comes the day that Babylon The Great (egoistical ways) will fall. The groundwork for this to happen is set, and we are going toward that day fast. It is after this great fall that the coming of the Kingdom is predicted and will be accelerated. So we are in-between the time that this Revelation was foretold to come and the fall of Babylon The Great. As the people of Nineveh averted the disasters from happening to them, we also can stop this prediction if we see these Truths and come together. So any clue on this? I don't take much notice of what the Book of Revelation says in the Bible as I think it is symbolic rather than prophetic.

...We think of imminent as being next week or next month. To the masters imminent can mean years, decades or even centuries but with regards to Maitreya it is referring to years... Mr. Creme's 1982 ad said, and I quote: "The Christ is now among us... is a mature adult man...is here to inspire and ensure the end of fear and starvation. His presence has been known to few...is being discussed by many...And will be known by all in spring, 1982." We have a digitized copy of the ad, verify it here: maitreya.org/english/ADS.HTM You can try to spin it however you want, but the simple fact is that Mr. Creme clearly stated Maitreya would declare himself in precisely spring of 1982. Therefore, either Mr. Creme lied, or the Maitreya I speak of was the fulfillment of his prediction. Will you follow a liar? Or will you come and see that Maitreya of the Mission of Maitreya is indeed the True One? But what about the other, other Maitreya in Japan? Have you studied his teachings as well as your Maitreya and the Maitreya I am talking about? And there are probably more. There are many more - there have been countless claimants to prophethood throughout history. Each one must be studied to see what their credentials are - whether God has given clear proof of their station. God always prophesies for a long time before sending a major Prophet, and provides many proofs from all angles so there can be no doubt. "That has been Our method in the case of Our Messengers whom We sent before, and you will not find Our method to change." (Qur’an, Bani Israel, 17:77) For example, even Maitreya's genealogy can be linked to both King David and Prophet Muhammad, making him the Lion of the tribe of Judah as Jews and Christians expect and a Sayyed as Muslims expect: maitreya.org/english/genealogy.htm If you find a Prophet with more prophecies fulfilled and a greater message than Maitreya's, let me know and I will follow him instead. But I am sure you will be unable to. Maitreya has provided more proof than any other Prophet in history, such as fulfilling prophecies from all religions and cultures. God has surely left no doubt, if you will study sincerely. God also has clearly stated what will be the credentials of the false prophets: Signs and wonders (Matthew 24:24), that might attract the eye with their glitter and flash, but have very little substance behind them. Christ also said, you know them by their fruit (Matthew 7:15-20). The Maitreya I speak of does not claim much glamour and miracles, but He has presented a concrete, practical, clear path which will lead any who walks it to Perfection. What fruit has your Maitreya given? After 30 years, all i see are promises and magic tricks. Everything that needs to be said has been said. All those who read this are informed of the return of God's Prophet and are Called to study these claims and seek the truth, and if it is the truth, to join and become dedicated to this most great event and cause. It is now between you and God. His Guidance is true, and without fault. maitreya.org

My opinion It ain't going to happen anything like me or you or any human thinks. Like the Bible says, gods thoughts are higher than our thought and his way higher than our ways. Our way is to have someone to look to and rely on. But it ain't entered into the mind-of-man what god has instore for him. In my third enlightenment, (1975) in an unimaginable place, someone identifying himself as god said: "I brought you into being to serve you". Then a nonverble wave of understanding came over me where I knew what he meant. He meant, in his reality, from his perspective, there is only the Two of us. I, (debraJaneDixon) am at the center of his universe. Everything else is him, (god). And the only relationship he has with me is: He loves me deeply, completely, personally and without conditions. From gods perspective Everything is him serving only me. Everyone and everything is only him obeying me and serving me If only I could move fully into HIS reality. Well I think god has the same relationship with EVERY living entity. As in: You (!!!) are the only thing that existes in the universe, to GOD. To GOD apart from you everything else is God loving and serving, (obeying) just you. You are the center of the universe, (to GOD) and everyone else and everything else is him obeying, serving and unconditionally loving you. This, (in my opinion) is what we are comming into. There will be no leader, only a vast revelation.

Mr. Creme's 1982 ad said, and I quote: "The Christ is now among us... is a mature adult man...is here to inspire and ensure the end of fear and starvation. His presence has been known to few...is being discussed by many...And will be known by all in spring, 1982." We have a digitized copy of the ad, verify it here: maitreya.org/english/ADS.HTM You can try to spin it however you want, but the simple fact is that Mr. Creme clearly stated Maitreya would declare himself in precisely spring of 1982. Therefore, either Mr. Creme lied, or the Maitreya I speak of was the fulfillment of his prediction. Will you follow a liar? Or will you come and see that Maitreya of the Mission of Maitreya is indeed the True One? Ive seen that ad too. The onslaught from the forces of darkness was far gretaer than expected. As I pointed out in my last reply to you the Masters are dealing with forces and laws that we cannot understand. They didn't expect the onslaught to be that powerful but because it was that powerful Maitreya had no choice but to delay his return. Neither He nor Mr. Creme are lying. Afterall, Maitreya isn't that advanced, he is only a planetary Christ so I think we can forgive the Masters this seeming oversight if we think along the lines of the magnitude of what they have to consider from an occult energetic level. If you find a Prophet with more prophecies fulfilled and a greater message than Maitreya's, let me know and I will follow him instead. But I am sure you will be unable to. Maitreya has provided more proof than any other Prophet in history, such as fulfilling prophecies from all religions and cultures. God has surely left no doubt, if you will study sincerely. Prophetic accuracy is not the mark of the level of someones spirituality. Remember my Maitreya has been making predicitions based on the law of karma. They are just that, predicitons, and not meant to be taken as prophetic fact set in stone. God also has clearly stated what will be the credentials of the false prophets: Signs and wonders (Matthew 24:24), that might attract the eye with their glitter and flash, but have very little substance behind them. Christ also said, you know them by their fruit (Matthew 7:15-20). The Maitreya I speak of does not claim much glamour and miracles, but He has presented a concrete, practical, clear path which will lead any who walks it to Perfection. What fruit has your Maitreya given? After 30 years, all i see are promises and magic tricks. God has not made any such claim I believe. I wouldn't take the Bible as being the compete truth for several reasons. The New Testament barely resembles the original Aramaic that it would have been written in. The general vocabulary of the people of that day would be far, far less than the general vocabulary of the Bible today. The people of that time were also uneducated and superstitious. The Bible has been doctored many times over the centuries by people like Roman emperor Constantine who ordered all accounts of reincarnation to be removed from the Bible for example. Everything that needs to be said has been said. All those who read this are informed of the return of God's Prophet and are Called to study these claims and seek the truth, and if it is the truth, to join and become dedicated to this most great event and cause. It is now between you and God. His Guidance is true, and without fault. maitreya.org My Maitreya's message is simple and reaches the heart of a reader immediately and without conflict but your Maitreya's message is based on cryptic elements of the Bible that are very hard to understand unless one is a scholar in theological texts. Omnis is an example of this as it seems that he is confused by this from his earlier posts and Omnis is a very intelligent, well educated man. No disrespect but I think your Maitreya is the one that is suffering from glamour and has little substance to his message. share-international.org We shall have to wait and see
