The Master -
THE PERENNIAL LIGHT OF TRUTH
by the Master- ,
through Benjamin Creme, 5 September 2009
One day in the winter of 1875, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, one of
the founders of the Theosophical Society, made a vow: to spread by
every means in her power the teachings which she had received from
several Masters of the Himalayan Lodge of the Spiritual Hierarchy
of our planet. True to her vow, she set to work to inform the
world of these teachings. Her books, *The Secret Doctrine*, *Isis
Unveiled* and *The Key to Theosophy*, are testimony to her
indefatigable industry and will, in the face of great physical
illness. These seminal works have informed and inspired many
thousands of true seekers over the years and continue to do so.
The general reception of these precious insights was altogether
different: seldom have the work and gifts of a great initiate been
so denigrated and ridiculed, especially by the religious and
scientific communities of the day. Even now, after a hundred and
thirty five or so years, Blavatsky is regularly dismissed as a
charlatan, a spiritual medium and a "dishonest faker". So vehement
and so worldwide was this condemnation that much of this
negativity still clings to her name. And, to Theosophy itself.
Madame Blavatsky was 4.0 degrees initiate, almost a Master, equal
in level to the Disciple Jesus and close to that of the great
Leonardo da Vinci. How is it is possible that such a distinguished
Toiler for the Good could be so maligned? Jesus himself is a prime
example of how ignorance and fear can dominate the perceptions of
men. Even while overshadowed by Maitreya the Christ, Jesus was
made to suffer from these twin attributes of thoughtless men.
Today the world is grappling with many problems and, predictably,
schisms have arisen in assessing these problems and in overcoming
them. Men and women everywhere have different qualities of mind
and brain, of openness or otherwise to ideas new and unfamiliar.
They also stand at different points on a ladder of evolution and
from near the bottom of the ladder the work and insights of many
of those above them mean little or naught. Thus has it always
been.
From now on, however, this age-old problem will be ameliorated to
the benefit of all. The presence of Maitreya and a growing number
of His group of Masters will bring to humanity a great leavening.
Much of the simpler levels of the Ageless Wisdom Teachings will be
placed before the world as a whole, drawing more and more of the
general public into Theosophy and its teachings. This will help to
prepare large numbers to stand before the Initiator and to enter
consciously into the Light.
In this way, many men and women, taking advantage of this new
situation, will prosper greatly on their journey of evolution.
When Maitreya steps forward, this process will begin. More and
more, as they respond to Him, they will find growing within
themselves an appetite for the truth, and a longing for wisdom and
light.
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS -- a selection
Questions dealing with the activities of Maitreya and the
Hierarchy of the Masters of Wisdom, and about the Ageless Wisdom
Teachings, which have not been answered in his books, are
answered by Benjamin Creme in this section. Benjamin Creme does
not seek to set himself up as an arbiter of the authenticity of
other groups' activities and communications. Please refrain
from posing such questions.

PO Box 3677, London NW5 1RU, UK.
Q. (1) Apart from the Observatory of Malta, are there other
scientific institutions aware of the presence of the 'star'? (2)
Which is the best way of accelerating the public awareness of the
'star' and its significance? (3) Are any countries more aware of
the 'star' than others? Many UFO groups detect large spaceships
but are not aware of their meaning.
A. (1) I cannot believe that serious workers in the world's
observatories have not seen the 'star' -- they must have taken
note of it, but not understanding its significance, they probably
dismissed it. Whenever someone unacquainted with astronomy
contacts such a professional body they are fobbed off with remarks
like, it was probably Jupiter or Venus, or some other planet in
our system. They dismiss, *a priori*, the possibility of finding
something new, like Maitreya's 'star'. Ordinary people are
upstaged by this response and believe the astronomers. This of
course is true of media as well, who need some professional person
in astronomy to admit the existence of the 'star'. However, there
was good footage of the 'star' on Japanese Fuji Television [17
July 2009] for 1 minute 47 seconds of the 'star' doing its
'tricks' twirling round, moving, changing colour and size. (2) a:
Talk about it. b: Photograph it if possible and send the
photographs to local media and/or *Share International*. (3) No.
Q. I am confused about the connection between Maitreya and beings
from other planets, e.g. the large spaceships that are appearing
as the 'star'. What is the connection between Maitreya and these
Beings? Why would they be involved in His coming?
A. We are all part of one unitary solar system. The public may not
generally know about, or believe in, the reality of life on other
planets of our system but the Hierarchies of all the planets are
in contact. There is indeed a kind of Interplanetary Parliament
representing all the planets. The Space Brothers are here to help
the people of Earth to overcome the difficulties which our own
ignorance has brought about and to work with Maitreya, and our
Spiritual Hierarchy as a whole, in the work of salvage. It is a
spiritual mission.
Q. I have been working with the image of Maitreya's 'hand' by
simply looking at it. I feel all kinds of healings going on. At
the moment I also seem to see the image of a man's face within the
hand, roughly below the last two fingers. (1) Is this a guide
working with me, or (2) just my imagination?
A. (1) No. (2) Just imagination. The energies come from Maitreya.
Q. Pope Benedict claims that bones found in Rome in June 2009
belong to St Peter. (1) Are they indeed St Peter's bones? (2) If
not, who did they belong to?
A. (1) My information is that this is not the case. (2) Unknown.
Q. I attended several of Benjamin Creme's lecture meetings at
Friends Meeting House, in Euston, London, between 1985 and 1987. I
believe the overshadowing of Benjamin Creme to be totally genuine;
however, the statement about the emergence of the Lord Maitreya,
in the way it is described, is somewhat premature. A thousand
years from today, would be more accurate. These times are too
turbulent surely? I have waited for so long, so very, very, very,
very long, and I mean trans-incarnationally, from lifetime to
lifetime, to see the re-emergence of something like we had in the
Golden Age of Atlantis; the city of the Golden Gates, in more ways
than one; the spiritual core of that city, scanning consciously
the spiritual horizons from age to age, incarnation to
incarnation, waiting patiently. Suffering the frozen wastes of the
Ice Age after the destruction of the last remnant of Atlantis,
looking forward to this time of a new re-kindling of a
civilization of sorts. This 20th/21st century time frame although
critical does not seem totally right for the emergence of the Lord
Maitreya. I wish it was!
A. To my mind this is only one of many (erroneous) views of the
coming of Maitreya and His group of Masters: the externalization
of the Spiritual Hierarchy. No one should know better the actual
timing of this event than the Masters Themselves. One of them, the
Master Djwhal Khul, in the Alice Bailey teachings, gave the hope
and possibility of the Christ's return around the middle of last
century, that is around 1950, or failing that, towards the end of
the 20th century. My information has been that Maitreya, the
Master of all the Masters, descended from His mountain in the
Himalayas in July 1977 and entered London (His point of focus in
the modern world) on 19 July 1977, very close to the prediction
from the Master DK already published in *The Reappearance of the
Christ* by Alice Bailey (Lucis Trust).
Q. It is said by many learned people that the 'swine flu' is being
genetically engineered intentionally by a pharmaceutical agency or
indeed agencies as another means of attempting to de-populate the
Earth's human species. This information has come from a very
elevated medical practitioner who is the head of the world health
federation, who also says that people should not accept the
vaccination due to it being none other than waste product, as
another means of destroying the best part of humanity. Is there
any truth at all in this information?
A. No, none whatsoever. That does not mean that the vaccine is
totally harmless.
Q. Hulda Clark, an Australian doctor, states that an excess of
micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi) in the human body, in
addition to toxic substances and metals, weakens the immune
system, inducing numerous diseases such as chronic fatigue,
cancer, AIDS, and so on. She had experimented using an electronic
machine, whose frequencies kill those pathogens. With an
appropriate diet, intestine cleaning and other prescriptions, she
obtains very good results in cases of cancer, AIDS and other
diseases. Could this medical proposal help people with this kind
of disease, taking into consideration the Karmic Law?
A. Yes it could, if correctly prescribed and the diagnosis was
correct. The whole of humanity is under threat from this
pollution.
Q. The Nazarene Healing Centre in Coin, Malaga, Spain, is
well-known for performing spiritual psychic surgery, working on
the patient's etheric body in order to heal them. Some of the
operations have impressive results. Vibhuti from Sai Baba is often
used to heal the wounds. There are many photographs of both
healers, Esteban Molina and Stephen Turoff, in which one can see
the energies involved in the process. The healers state that they
work with a medical team from the 6th astral plane, composed of
around 17 specialists that perform the healings 'using' the bodies
of Esteban and Stephen. They also claim that they are 'informed'
that the healing energies come from the Master Jesus, Sai Baba and
the Master Who was the Madonna.
(1) Could you confirm if it is true that doctors from the astral
plane work through the healers? (2) Are the Master Jesus, Sai Baba
and the Master Who was the Madonna involved in the healing
process? (3) The water from a well used in the Centre is said to
have healing properties. Is that correct?
A. (1) Yes. (2) They give Their energy when called upon. (3) Yes.
Q. In Jules Verne's *Journey to the Centre of the Earth*, he
describes the existence of underground human beings' communities,
some uncivilized and aggressive, and others with an advanced level
of development. Recently, some books of Trigueirinho describe the
existence of an underground human civilization. (1) Is there an
underground human civilization on Earth? (2) Are there underground
human civilizations in other planets of the Solar System? (3) If
yes, in which one?
A. (1) My information is that this is not so. ( (2) Yes. (3) Not
given.
Q. If a nuclear reactor is built, but never operational (ie never
turned on) (1) can it still pose a threat of polluting the
environment and atmosphere? Likewise, (2) if a reactor is shut
down, can it still pose a threat if idle or during the dismantling
process? (3) If so, how serious a threat would it be?
A. (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) It depends on the skill in handling them.
Q. In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, water at the church N'toto Maria is
believed to have healing powers. Has water at the site been
magnetized and if so by whom?
A. Yes, by the Master Jesus.
Q. I just watched a television programme about honey bees dying
off -- which is quite troubling -- what does Maitreya have to say
about this? What is causing it and what can be done to save the
bees? Without them we are goners.
A. Maitreya has not, so far as I know, addressed the question of
bees, which are indeed dying worldwide, mainly as a result of our
use (misuse) of pesticides and the change of habitat produced by
global warming. The answer lies within our hands: reform our
agricultural practices and stop using the earth as a dumping
ground for our noxious gases.
Q. Is there a group of men controlling the events of the world?
Their aim being the enslavement of the peoples of the world.
A. No. This is one of dozens of scaremongering 'conspiracy
theories' streaming out, mainly from America I'm sorry to say, and
America as a whole, we have to admit, is quite paranoid in
relation to attacks from abroad. No doubt there are small groups
of men in many countries who think up ways and means of
controlling the world but it will never happen; these are just
neurotic dreams.

>>>Heart to heart
Dear Editor,
On Tuesday 18 August 2009 I was preoccupied all day by the news
that a close friend and colleague was not expected to live for
long, in fact she was not expected to make it through the night. I
couldn't concentrate on work at the Share International office and
after supper, had some wine and took the bus home. Needing some
fresh air I sat on a bench outside my flat. I was basically
feeling really upset about my friend.
Then a stout man with blond hair and a beard cycled up and asked
if there was anywhere he could get a coffee. It was already 11pm
so I suggested the pub down the road. His bike was painted all
over with a jazzy design and he seemed very jovial. He rode off to
the pub and returned 5 minutes later with a glass of coca-cola. He
had an accent I couldn't work out so I asked where he came from:
"It is too complicated to explain," he said, and mentioned
something about Russia and other countries, all very quickly.
Then he asked me: "Are you a goth?" I was wearing a black cardigan
and leggings. I laughed and said no. Then he sat down on the next
bench. He was exuberant and entertaining and his banter cheered me
up.
He said he didn't like to sleep and he'd often cycle around
looking at places late at night. Then he showed me some
photographs on his mobile phone: they were great images. The first
was a perfect illustration of a heart that he told me he had drawn
for a medical textbook. The rest were unusual photographs of
nature and cities -- all very interesting and beautiful.
I mentioned my friend and we talked about death and re-incarnation
and I spoke about Maitreya. He said he knew about Benjamin Creme
and his work and the Theosophical Teachings. We chatted on for
some time about the 'star' and he spoke about trying to photograph
it, possibly from inside the church nearby.
Then, realizing it was getting late, I said goodbye and got up
from the bench. He watched as I walked to my door, and we waved. I
felt comforted and distracted by our meeting and thought how
strange life can be: sweet things happen when you least expect
them and we're never really alone. Please could I ask: was this
jovial man a Master?
G.F. London, UK.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms the 'jovial man' was the Master
Jesus.)
Two letters from the same person:
>>>Cameo
Dear Editor,
(1) On 4 September 2009 I was travelling to Transmission
Meditation in London. I was late and rushed hurriedly down the
escalators and caught the end carriage of the waiting tube at
Victoria and found a seat. A gothically-dressed tramp was sitting
opposite me facing the end of the carriage; his dreadlocked hair
had been slept on and was sticking out at all angles and unusually
he had pale cut-off shorts over his black trousers.
Then followed a scenario of short events. His hands were filthy
and were holding a very cheap plastic egg-timer with
brightly-coloured tiny sweets inside. The little sweets fell
through the opening and with great delight he turned the egg-timer
over, balanced it on his knee and gesticulated with his hands
while turning around to everyone, nodding and smiling with
extraordinarily kind, crinkly, sea-green eyes. He put it into a
small orange plastic carrier bag which was behind him and took out
a small rectangular, labyrinth game, but instead of silver balls,
he was manoeuvering plastic cars through the maze. Then he looked
round very lovingly at all the passengers. He put that away in the
orange carrier bag and rapidly brought out a white, paperback book
at which I caught my breath. It was entitled *The Source of the
Heart*; below the title was the sketch of a long-haired Indian. I
could not see the author's name. He put it on his knee and opened
it to where several white origami shapes were kept and took one
out showing it to everyone saying in a soft voice: "Boat, boat,
boat." The other passengers shuffled uncomfortably, holding up
their newspapers, trying to avoid any contact with this
'undesirable'. The next shape was a bird, but he seemed to change
his mind and the book swiftly found its way into the little bag.
He leaned over to the adjoining seat and put the book into two
large carrier bags placed there, an orange and a blue, one inside
the other as these were carrying large heavy, glass bottles full
of soft drinks. He took out a well-tied, black, small carrier bag
whose contents he did not display, simply taking the handles and
tying knot after knot until he was satisfied, then he stowed the
black bag into the very bottom of the larger carrier bags, nodded,
looked smilingly back at me, then leaned back in his seat and fell
asleep. He gathered his bags and left at the next station.
Was this a message for all the co-workers of *Share International*
and beyond and would you confirm if this was Maitreya?
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the man was Maitreya.)
>>>Night blessing
(2) I was driving my two sisters home after Transmission
Meditation late one night when we had to stop at a set of traffic
lights. It was almost midnight and there was a short
Hispanic-looking man with curly black hair and dark brown eyes
washing car windscreens. My sister Annette was unwell and was
leaning back on a pillow, half-asleep in the front seat. I leaned
across her and rummaged in the glove box for some loose change.
Just as the window cleaner approached our car, the lights changed,
so I gave him what I had, preparing to drive on.
"But that is too much!" he protested, but it was very little so I
asked him to keep it. Suddenly, the lights were red again. He
approached the rear of the car and began to wash the back window
while singing a melody. He had a rich voice. "He is singing even
at this late hour!" I was surprised.
My other sister Josie was sitting in the back and I asked her to
pass my bag. She dived under one of the seats and retrieved my
wallet, so I was able to give him a bit more change. He had washed
the front by this time. "You 'ave good 'earts." He beamed at the
three of us, his white teeth
twinkling in the city lights. The traffic lights changed to green
and off we sped into the dark, laughing, our spirits uplifted.
Would you kindly tell us if he was a Master?
S. P., Ashurst Wood, West Sussex, UK.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms the 'window cleaner' was
Maitreya.)
>>>Finnish blessing
Dear Editor,
I was recently sitting in my room saying 'The Great Invocation' in
Finnish. I felt very calm and peaceful. When I left my position
and went to the kitchen, I saw, or I think I saw, a handprint on
the oven glass-wall. I felt incredible peace and safety, but when
I checked up close the handprint faded away. The feeling was
inhumanly comfortable. What could this be?
J.H., Helsinki, Finland.
(Benjamin Creme: The handprint of Maitreya, since its first
appearance in Barcelona in August 2001, has appeared in many
countries in different circumstances. This is the first instance
(reported to *Share International*) in which the 'hand'
disappeared more or less as soon as it was seen but it was the
handprint of Maitreya nevertheless -- a temporary miracle.)
>>>Gemstone miracle
Dear Editor,
On 21 November 2008, I attended a conference in Lyon (France)
during which the audience was shown a heart-shaped agate gemstone
found in Uruguay by a miner's son about 40 years ago. When it was
discovered, the stone broke in half revealing an inscription: a
'J', a 'C' as well as other letters, in very luminous crystals
against a background of smooth agate. The inside of the heart
replicates exactly the shape of a human heart.
When the miner's son discovered the heart-shaped stone, he signed
away his inheritance of the land and the house, and has since
devoted himself entirely to the service of the heart stone,
lending it to people who need it. The large audience (more than a
hundred people) was extremely
meditative and the energy generated by the heart-shaped stone --
that we were able to hold in our hands for a few minutes -- was
intense: I was able to feel it several centimetres away and my
stomach pains soothed.
A person in the audience took a photo of myself holding the stone.
The developed photo showed a column of light (see photo). Was it a
blessing from Maitreya? What do the inscriptions inside the heart
mean? Is this heart-shaped stone of divine origin and what is its
purpose?
G.J., Lyon, France.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms the gemstone was a blessing from
Maitreya and its purpose is to help and heal people.)

TRUTH -- A COMPILATION
We present a selection of quotations on the theme of Truth from
Maitreya (*Messages from Maitreya the Christ*, and *Maitreya's
Teachings -- The Laws of Life*), Benjamin Creme's Master (*A
Master Speaks* and *Share International*), and Benjamin Creme's
writings.
My purpose is to show man that he need fear no more, that all of
Light and Truth rests within his heart, that when this simple fact
is known, man will become God. God's nature is to love. God's
purpose is to serve. God is known through Sharing and Justice.
Spread abroad these simple Truths, My friends, and perform a
mighty act. (Maitreya, from Message No. 98)
The world is awakening to the truth of man's existence: Man is
divine, the outer expression of his true reality as soul. Through
all vicissitudes, his soul has guarded him and shown him the path.
Never has the soul been absent from the fray, the high endeavour
or the reluctant effort. Man and soul are One. Such is the truth
awaiting man's discovery. The soul awaits this dawning revelation.
Man is at the end of his apprenticeship in life. The soul, from
now, directs a higher and a clearer path. (Benjamin Creme's
Master, from 'The missing link')
For myself, throughout the last 27 years of releasing the
information about the return of the Christ and Hierarchy, there
has been one factor which I have kept solid and above all: that
what I say I believe from my *experience* to be true. I cannot say
what I do not believe to be true. I cannot say it with conviction,
so there is no point in saying it at all. When what you say is
true in itself and you say it with the conviction which personal
experience gives you, you are believed. If it is true, it has a
power which only truth itself has. If it is glamour, false, an
illusion of truth, it does not have that power. (Benjamin Creme,
*The Art of Co-operation*)
The Christ, Maitreya, is poised to assume the role of Teacher to a
world longing for Truth. (Benjamin Creme's Master from 'The return
of the Christ')
The truth has many faces, but the main chord is within the
individual. The moment you feel Oneness, when you speak, the basic
chord of truth sings within. "Experience Me. Be what you are. The
moment you try to be what you are, you experience who you are, why
you are. "People respond. But if you try to twist the truth or to
make money out of it, it becomes so distorted that people begin to
lose interest in it." (*Maitreya's Teachings -- The Laws of Life*)
Most people have both glamours and illusions. Illusions deal with
ideas, with mental thoughtforms. Everybody has them. The world's
mental body, the mental plane, is filled with billions of
thoughtforms -- huge, small, ever-growing, always changing. These
are mental thoughtforms.
There are also astral/emotional thoughtforms; they involve rather
the action of the emotions. With emotional thoughtforms we
experience a feeling, a sensation, and we put a meaning on it.
That meaning, if it is not true, is glamour. You can only know it
is glamour by the action of the mental body on it. Glamour is
overcome by the light of the soul playing on the glamour through
the mental body. The insight of the mental body has to be used to
overcome the glamour. The light of the soul, which is the
intuition, has to be used to overcome the mental thoughtforms
which are illusions. They are either illusionary or they are true.
The truth is always there, you do not have to discover it. If you
have no glamour, you do not experience glamorous feelings; your
feelings are true. They are coming from the heart, not the solar
plexus; they are not a misuse of astral energy. If the ideas are
true, they are coming from the soul and are creative, revelatory,
illuminating. If they are illusory, they are false. It takes the
intuition, the light of the soul, to show the falsity of it.
(Benjamin Creme, *The Art of Living*)
When you think one thing, say another, and do something which is
different again, you are lost. Honesty of mind leads to honest
speech and honest action. This harmony leads to peace and
happiness. "Whether you are a thief or a saint, you can begin
right now." (*Maitreya's Teachings -- The Laws of Life*)
When men see the Christ and His Disciples, the Masters of Wisdom,
they will come to understand how needed are the many presentations
of truth, for they will come to realize how old is man, how varied
his experience and expectations down the ages, and how different
are the ways in which men absorb ideas. They will come to grasp,
too, something of the inherent unity behind the outer diversity.
Men will see for themselves that behind the ideas and teachings
stands a Plan; that every teaching is the formulation of but one
fragment of the Plan; that the Plan is the expression of the
creative Will of God and as such is in process of constant change.
How then could one group, society, or institution embody the Truth
for all time?
... Seek that which unites in your brother's presentation. Know
that behind all stands the Christ and His Disciples. Remember that
the one Truth informs all approaches and that naught divides but
the minds of men. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from 'The need for
synthesis')
My Masters know the problems which beset man today; the answers
likewise are in Their grasp. Allow Them to lead, My friends, and
show you the simple path of Joy, Simplicity and Truth. A new Law
descends. The new Truth becomes known to man. The Law is Love, The
Truth, My friends, is Brotherhood. My Mission will ensure that
that Law and that Truth shall become manifest. This I promise you
and thus shall it be. (Maitreya, from Message No. 43)
Faith, to be sure, does not mean blind acceptance and belief. On
the contrary, true faith rises only when the intuition, the voice
of the soul, prompts an inner knowing, and, past all gainsaying,
the heart tells you: this is true. When that moment comes, clasp
firmly to you this new-found truth and "stay there". When the
voices of envy and doubt assail you, keep serenely to your task.
Remember that your mind belongs to you and no one has the right to
tell you what to think. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from 'The Call
to Service')
Each teacher gives his teachings for a particular time and place.
Fundamentally, all the different teachings embody the one truth;
they vary only in emphasis and relevance for specific times,
places and peoples. The common denominator is their revelation of
the Oneness of all life. (Benjamin Creme, *Maitreya's Mission
Volume One*)
I am the Custodian of the Plan of God. I am the New Direction. I
am the Way for all men. I hold the Secrets of Old. I bestow Bliss.
I create the desire for Truth. I make all men One. I come to
realise My Truth through men. I am the Saviour of Old. I am the
Teacher of the New. I am the Guide for the Future Time. I am the
Law embodied. I am Truth Itself. I am your Friend and Brother. I
am your Self. (Maitreya, from Message No. 70)
Any action you perform should be done according to these three
principles: honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit and detachment.
Any action performed with dishonesty of mind, an insincere spirit
and attachment is destructive. (*Maitreya's Teachings -- The Laws
of Life*)
... Maitreya will guide the thoughts of men towards the Truth that
He brings and is. Thus will Maitreya show men their errors and the
solution to their dilemma, and thus will men take stock of their
situation and, in growing numbers, realize the Truth of His
advice. More and more, men will see that Maitreya's guidance is
the only way to achieve the happiness and peace all inwardly
crave. Held back by fear until then, they will find in His simple
Teaching the answer to all their fears and woes.
Naturally, not all will find in Maitreya the guide they seek.
Many, indeed, will find in His Teaching, all that they fear and
hate. Gradually, however, the ardour of those who can respond and
resonate to His simple words of Truth will bring millions to His
cause of Justice and Peace. His Teaching, though simple, will
penetrate the hearts of all those in whom love has not yet been
extinguished. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from 'The Oneness of
Humanity')
When the mind is quiet, free from dogmatic views, it will absorb
the truth. "If you want to test the truth of anything, speak with
a child." (*Maitreya's Teachings -- The Laws of Life*)
Maitreya teaches the swamis around him: "I am with you. If people
have not attained to certain truths in life, give them these
truths freely, but do not claim them as your own." "The same Light
you came from exists in the snake, in the mountain, in water, in
fire, etc. If the same Light is common to all these, how can you
say 'this' is more important than 'that'?"
Realization of this truth creates a sense of unity, of harmony.
"Since it is the same for every human being, if you come to know
this truth, will you then compare? Or try to dominate one another?
You will not. Instead you will respect one another." (*Maitreya's
Teachings -- The Laws of Life*)
My Masters will serve you, too, will teach you to live together in
true brotherhood, in justice and harmony. Forget not, My brothers,
that you are One, that the Father of All has created you in His
divine image, that through you shines the same blessed light of
Love and Truth.
The time is coming, My friends, when the Light of Truth shall
shine all around you, when man shall take his brother to his heart
and know him as himself. Let Me lead you, My friends, into that
blessed state. Say yes to My Advent. Say yea to My Coming, and be
enfolded in the blessing of My Love. (Maitreya, from Message No.
51)
People are afraid of becoming fanatical. The danger really is not
fanaticism but inertia. It is very difficult for groups who have
not directly experienced Maitreya to go on year after year
maintaining a high degree of activity around His appearance. It is
true that Transmission Meditation and your personal meditation
help to sustain a high level of commitment. But it does require
faith. If you do not have faith, if it is simply hope and belief
that Maitreya is here, against all the odds, then you are working
against the grain. You have to know.
If you do not have a personal experience that Maitreya is real and
is here, then it must be difficult. But, again, there is more and
more evidence that He is here. The outer signs are growing every
week so it becomes easier than it ever was before to accept this
as a hypothesis and work as if it is true (which is all you can do
in the first place). It is really a question of addressing
yourself to your self and saying: ''What do I really want to
happen about this?'' If this makes sense to you, if it has for you
the ring of truth (even though you do not know with utter
certainty) and you take it as a hypothesis and work on that
hypothesis, the events themselves, the experience itself, proves
to you that this is true. You find the energy of Maitreya flowing
through you and there is no gainsaying that. (Benjamin Creme,
*Maitreya's Mission Volume Two*)
Ancient habits of division and separation have strong roots, while
fear and superstition cast their spell over millions of mankind.
But never before, in the history of the world, has a Teacher come
better equipped for His task. Maitreya has come to do battle with
ignorance and fear, division and want. His weapons are spiritual
understanding, knowledge and love; His shining armour is Truth
Itself. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from 'The Son of Man')
My Coming will transform this world, but the major work of
restoration must be done by you. I am the Architect, only, of the
Plan. You, My friends and brothers, are the willing builders of
the Shining Temple of Truth. I shall give you the Key of that
Temple, and entering therein shall you know God. (Maitreya, from
Message No. 65)
The educational systems we need for humanity must be built on the
inner truth that man is a soul, manifesting on this plane as a
personality. Education must be geared to that truth and not to the
cramming into children's minds of information which will fit them
as cogs into an obsolete machine. (Benjamin Creme, *The
Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom*)
Fortunately, naught can prevent the triumph of His cause, for His
cause and the needs of men are one. When men see this, they will
rally to His side and demand the changes which He advocates. Thus
will be created a spearhead armed with Truth, directed to the
decaying heart of the old dispensation. Many will see in Him the
Saviour of Old; others will recognize in Him the Exponent of the
New. Whatever their stance, men will raise aloft His Banner: Truth
and Brotherhood; Justice and Peace. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from
'All will be well')
There are many today who admit the necessity for change, but still
resist it. There are many today who see the crumbling of the old
and outworn world of the past, but cling to the old forms. But
there is a new voice being heard among the nations: the voice of
Truth, which contains the hope, the promise, of the New Time. This
voice will increasingly make its impress on the minds of men, for
it is the voice of God, speaking through men.
My Masters are with you and will show you the way; I Myself will
lead. Can it be that you will renounce this guidance, this
opportunity to rise and progress? No, My friends, I think not. I
shall show you that the way for man is the way of brotherhood,
close co-operation and mutual trust and service. This is the only
way. All else has failed. My friends, unless man can do this, man
on this Earth will cease to be. I threaten not, but simply state
the truth. There is but little time left to restore the balance of
nature and the world. (Maitreya, from Message No. 12)
This shows how, from the point of view of Hierarchy looking at the
world, They see the glamours, They see reality. They see and know
that what we see is entirely different from the truth. The truth
cannot be seen by the soul because the personality does not allow
the soul to see the truth. We have hidden the truth.
We see the idea. Out of our false language, false education, our
ignorance, lack of understanding, we interpret according to the
'norm', the academic line, the accepted understanding, whether
that is political, religious or academic.
We accept the status quo, in other words. That is because we are
afraid to make changes. We are afraid to change so we do not see
the need for change. We cover the need for change, the reality
which is there, the true state of the world, the pain, the
suffering, the insecurity of the world. I do not mean only
terrorism, but the insecurity of life, including, of course today,
terrorism, because we do not want to see it. It is too upsetting,
too frightening, and so we cover it over with illusion. We fill
every fragment of life with illusion.
We do it as groups, in political parties, as governments. They all
have their different ways of functioning with this trick of
covering up the truth. What is the answer? How can we get out of
it? The Master DK says only the intuition can overcome illusion.
"It is in meditation and in the technique of mind control, that
the thinkers of the world will begin to rid the world of illusion.
Hence the increasing interest in meditation as the weight of the
world glamour is increasingly realized, and hence the vital
necessity for right understanding of the way of mind control....
Only the intuition can dispel illusion, and hence the need for
training intuitives."
The intuition is the light of the soul, the buddhic level of the
soul working directly through the mind. When the mind is cleared
of illusion, the buddhi or intuition itself can manifest. When
intuition or buddhi manifests, it automatically clears the mind of
the individual from all these illusions. It is like cleaning
house. One day you go into a house and see the cobwebs. You have
been in that house every day for years and you never saw that the
place is covered with cobwebs. One day when you notice the cobwebs
you take a brush and start to clear them.
The faculty we call intuition is the next level of the mind to be
developed. (Benjamin Creme, *The Art of Living*)
My friends, the Truth stands among you. The Truth is in your
hearts. The Truth, My friends, My brothers and sisters, is Love
and Sharing, Justice and Freedom. Make these manifest in your
lives and communities, and re-establish the Plan of God.
(Maitreya, from Message No. 93)
Steadfastness is living from the spirit level of yourself, holding
the soul aspect of yourself in the forefront. I do not mean you go
around all the time saying, "I am a soul, I am a soul, I must
remember, I am a soul." Not at all. Steadfastness is the
continuous concentration of everything you have on the highest
light of truth that you have. For what you believe in, rightly or
wrongly, but what you believe in from wherever you are coming; the
focusing of all your attention and all your aspiration, and
bringing the whole of your available will power to bear on the
furthering of that idea or ideal or purpose or whatever it is.
(Benjamin Creme, *Maitreya's Mission Volume One*)
How can Maitreya touch the hearts of the millions needed to change
direction? The answer lies in the potency of His energies. Never
before has a Teacher of such power stood before the world. With
each word uttered, His beneficent force flows from heart to heart.
Useless and unnecessary is argument and debate. His Truth calls
forth the Truth in the heart of the listener, and in the crucible
of their shared divinity is recognized as Truth Itself. (Benjamin
Creme's Master, from 'Man's Divinity')
When you see and hear Me, you will realize that you have known for
long the Truths which I utter. Within your hearts rests the Truth
of God. These simple Truths, My friends, underlie all existence.
Sharing and Justice, Brotherhood and Freedom are not new concepts.
From the dawn of time mankind has linked his aspiration to these
beckoning stars. Now, My friends, shall we anchor them in the
world. (Maitreya, from Message No. 105)
THE DAY OF DECLARATION -- A HEARTFELT TRUTH BY BENJAMIN CREME
During Benjamin Creme's talk in San Francisco, USA, on 2 August
2009, he gave the following discourse on the Day of Declaration.
The Christ will point to the need of the world to see itself as
One. We are One world. We must make our world One, with war a
thing of the past. *Then* the Masters can help us. Then They can
show us the way to build the most wonderful civilization this
earth has ever seen. This coming civilization will be created by
humanity -- inspired, guided and led by the Masters. We will have
these men without fault living among us. Maitreya is a man like us
but without any fault whatsoever. He knows only total altruistic
love. He uses all His extraordinary intelligence, wisdom and love
to help humanity forward, to shield and protect us. When Maitreya
says: "I am your shield", He means it absolutely concretely. The
Masters and, above all, Maitreya, are our shield -- shielding us
from suffering, from too great an evil in the world which would
submerge humanity. He is here to present to us an image of
perfection to which we can aspire.
Maitreya has given to the world all the signs -- the milk miracle
[1995], statues which move and open their eyes, paintings which
weep real tears -- as signs that something tremendous is
happening. There are thousands of miracles all over the world so
that *Time* magazine devoted an eight-page spread to it [in April
1995]: "Something extraordinary is happening in the world," it
said. That something is the Reappearance of the Christ and the
Masters of Wisdom in the world as our Elder Brothers.
Very soon now Maitreya will appear on television in this country
[USA] and later in Japan and then around the world and speak very
simply so that everyone can understand Him and when Maitreya talks
you know it is true. He speaks directly from the heart to the
heart and that energy which comes from being the embodiment of
Love awakens that love in your heart and you believe what He says
because you know it is true. It is the only truth there is. It has
to be true. You feel it deeply within you. There's no gainsaying
that simple message of trust, of hope, of sharing, of justice and
of peace as a result.
When enough people are responding to Maitreya in this way He will
be asked to come on television and speak to the whole world -- now
known to many as the Christ. Many will see Him and think: "I'm
sure that is the man Creme has been talking about." The television
networks will be linked together for this event and "All eyes will
see him" as it says in the Bible. You will see His face -- you
will feel that energy -- you will say: "Only the Christ could fill
my heart with that love".
Maitreya is omniscient and omnipresent and one day all adult
people in the world will hear His voice inwardly. He will, for 25
minutes or so, create this liaison, this telepathic rapport,
between Him and us, and you will know that what you are hearing is
the truth.
One of the Masters has said: "People everywhere will become like
little children", full of trust, full of love, full of goodness,
full of hope, full of aspiration with all that they have lost
since growing up, before they become hardened, become
commercialized, made rigid, fearful, untrusting -- only half a man
or half a woman. But as children they will feel this is true. "I
am part of the whole world." They will feel connected to one
another, as they never have before, not since they were children.
They will feel that union that a child always feels if correctly
brought up and it is never drilled out of him or her. They will
feel saintly, they will feel at their best, at their most holy, as
they never felt since they took first communion, if they did. Not
since they were little children and they believed what their
parents said and they knew their parents would look after them.
Then they believed in God and they knew that God would look after
them. And then they knew about the Pope and that he would look
after them, but he didn't and they got let down and got hardened.
They became disbelievers and began to lose their humanity. They
began to lose that thread that connects each person with every
other person in the whole of the universe on all planets and all
systems. We are One. There is only one humanity under the one God
and we all share that humanity.
On the Day of Declaration as Maitreya's energy of love pours out
to humanity this will evoke an outburst of our own love -- we will
feel it, we will recognize it and see that this message is true.
Everything that is said is true. Our hearts will tell us this is
the truth; it could not be otherwise. So, we must share, we must
live in right relationship, we must make justice, must put war
behind us, never discolour this earth again with war.
Maitreya will show us how old we are, for how long we have evolved
and from what a height we have fallen to this base materiality of
today when commercialization through market forces is squeezing
the life-blood out of humanity, in which people are suffering
ignominy for no reason but that they were born poor -- who have no
stake in life because they were born too poor.
Maitreya will also show humanity glimpses of the coming
civilization -- the beautiful cities we shall have, the type of
architecture now being planned by Masters to be given to the
world.
While this is going on there will be hundreds of thousands of
spontaneous healings. By the telepathic rapport and the
overshadowing of the minds and hearts of people everywhere, by the
outflow of the Christ Principle, the energy of love, and by the
miraculous healings, you will know that that One is the Christ. On
the Day of Declaration you will know with absolute certainty that
the time of doubt is over. This is the time in which Christ takes
His place outwardly as the Head of Hierarchy, as the Eldest of all
the Brothers of humanity, to stand before us and to take us
forward into that Kingdom of which He is the Head -- the Spiritual
Kingdom which daily is growing out of the human kingdom, as a man
or woman here and there take initiation and gradually evolve
towards the light.
That day the Masters call the "Day of Days" will be a day without
precedence. There has never been a day like that. No one on Earth
has experienced what they will feel on that day. You will tell it
to your children and they will tell it to theirs; people will tell
it to their children and so on for generation and generation.
Maitreya comes to bring revelation upon revelation. He comes to
reveal the nature of the UFOs; the nature of our identity with God
and a new approach to God -- not through belief but through
knowledge, understanding and evocation. We will come to evoke God
and see that we are that which we evoke. We will see how rich and
worthwhile life has become just in one day.
That is the promise of the coming of the Christ for all people. He
comes for all people, religious and non-religious alike. He is not
concerned with whether you are religious or not. He is concerned
with whether you love your fellowmen or not. That is the measure.
He says: "Take your brother's needs as the measure for your
actions and solve the problems of the world. There is no other
course."

ANGELS IN STARSHIPS BY GIORGIO DIBITONTO
"A new Moses will lead you"
Book review by Gerard Aartsen -- an excerpt
How many articles or books have you read that left you with some
indelible impression, as if you understand the meaning of life all
of a sudden, or as if you've lived the experiences of the author
yourself? Many readers of *Share International* will probably list
one of Benjamin Creme's books, or an article or interview about
the Reappearance, as such an experience. Undoubtedly, most people
will have a personal literary favourite, like one of Shakespeare's
works. But frankly, once you've been acquainted with the Ageless
Wisdom Teaching, how often do you come across any type of book
which leaves you with a sense that you've actually experienced
something?
There wasn't much to the subject of *Angels in Starships* that
prepared me for the experience that reading this 1983 book by
Giorgio Dibitonto proved to be. The author describes how he and
two of his friends are contacted by the Space Brothers in 1980
and, over a period of many months, are trained for more intensive
contacts and experiences. Eventually they are taken on several
journeys in spacecraft, where exalted beings teach them valuable
lessons about life on Earth and on other planets. Mr Dibitonto and
his companions are also asked to extend warnings of impending
strophe if humanity does not change its course. The overtly
Christian tone and references initially formed a test of my
open-mindedness, as it took me a good year-and-a-half to finally
sit down and read it properly.
Until then, the most interesting aspects appeared to be Benjamin
Creme's remarks about George Adamski's Venusian origins in the
publisher's foreword, and the fact that the author was introduced
to the Space Brother who lived on earth as Adamski (as confirmed
by Benjamin Creme's Master in *Share International*, October 2008)
by the very Space People whom Adamski had introduced to the world
in his books as the Saturnian Ramu, the Venusians Orthon and
Kalna, the Martians Firkon and Ilmuth, and Zuhl.
On his first encounter with his celestial contact, the author is
told: "It is not the first time that we have met with men of Earth
in this manner ... In your holy scriptures you have read that the
Lord spoke to men of Earth from out of a cloud; your present
encounter is no different from that which was experienced by your
forefathers throughout the ages." Many references to the biblical
"pillars of cloud by day and pillars of fire by night", which led
the Israelites through the wilderness, are explained here as UFO's
guiding humanity through testing times -- both historically and at
present, while the angels and archangels of the Bible are revealed
here to have been Space Brothers.
Mr Dibitonto's main extraterrestrial contact, whom George Adamski
referred to as 'Ramu' in his book *Inside the Space Ships*, calls
himself Raphael and reveals that he was the 'angel' in human form
who protected young Tobias in the apocryphal *Book of Tobit*.
(Interestingly, the link between 'historical' angels and Space
Brothers is further reinforced by H.P. Blavatsky in *The Secret
Doctrine, Volume III*, where she talks about the seven
"'Star-regents' or the informing deities of the seven planets",
whom she identifies as "Mikael, Gabriel, Raphael, etc." In the
same chapter Blavatsky explains that the "Lord of Hosts", or
*tsabaoth* in Hebrew, literally means "the army of the ship".)
According to Giorgio Dibitonto, Raphael explains: "God is called
the Lord of Hosts. The Bible tells you of a battle between the
heavenly hosts and the powers of evil. It is good that the hosts
of the Lord are always present, working diligently for the triumph
of the good on Earth -- an invited army in a 'battle' of love and
salvation against evil." And as if in direct reference to what
Benjamin Creme's Master calls 'The gathering of the Forces of
Light', Raphael adds: "Our numbers grow ever larger now in this
time of our coming to Earth for this great mission."
The great mission that Raphael speaks of is elaborated on later by
Firkon, who explains: "The people of Earth should prepare
themselves for a new journey, one that has no equal in all your
history. No single event that ever happened yet on Earth, can
compare with that which stands before you now." Referencing the
Exodus, he explains: "Clouds and pillars of fire, which today you
would call flying saucers and motherships, were seen over the
leaders of the Hebrews who fled from Egypt. Exactly the same signs
and realities portend these days in a new and final journey, which
will lead you out of your present misery, into the true promised
land of universal love."
Our "present misery" is described by Raphael as the result of
mankind's experimentation with living after its own desires. With
that, he says, "the cycle of our present time was begun. You, who
had eaten the limitless fruits of universal love, wanted to enjoy
one single fruit, namely to try the pitiable way of wrongdoing....
Man began to put the bad in the place of the good, and decadence
in the place of progress." To reassure his human companions,
Raphael adds: "We love God, our Father, because he loves us. He
loves us unconditionally, and we do likewise, for this is the
proper response. Soon your planet will comprehend this too, and
the long awaited day will dawn for you. I tell you truly, it will
be soon."
Although clad in Biblical terms, the information that Mr Dibitonto
is given coincides in many ways with the information from Benjamin
Creme and his Master about the transition from the old Age of
Pisces into the new Age of Aquarius. A striking example is when
Orthon and Firkon discuss, as one of the signs heralding this
transition, the manifestations of the Master Who was the Madonna,
Who they say "appears on Earth far more often than most people are
aware. Several times she has certified her presence with signs
that arouse awe and wonder, such as at Fatima." Raphael explains
that the time has come for the fulfilment of the third prediction
of Fatima, which Benjamin Creme has described as "the fact of the
Christ's imminent appearance in the world" (*Share International*,
October 2000).
The similarities with the information from Benjamin Creme about
the Reappearance of Maitreya, the Christ, become even more
explicit when, on another occasion, Kalna says: "The Hebrews were
led by a great universal brother, who was born here in order to
fulfil this important mission. His name was Moses. You will be led
by a new Moses whom we all love and admire greatly. He will lead
all the people on this new exodus, like a good brother or father.
All who trust in him and want to have him as their leader, will
arrive at that goal that has been already chosen." On yet another
occasion, a female Space Brother referred to only as "the gracious
lady" adds: "Today, the hour of universal truth has struck, and a
new Moses will lead all who wish it to safety, without regard to
race or nationality. He will be able to read in each heart the
slightest longing for goodness and justice, which is the same as
universal love."
This reference to Maitreya's social concerns is also made more
explicit, this time by Orthon: "The under-developed state of many
parts of the world results in starvation and death through
undernourishment and disease, as a consequence of poverty. That is
a very heavy burden of guilt to be borne by those people who have
a thriving culture." Earlier Raphael had hinted at the wider
consequences of the state of our planet by saying: "The Earth is
out of harmony, and disintegrating vibrations, like the scourges
that lash her sorrowing multitudes, create ever-widening zones on
the planet where the life energies are undermined. One day you
will understand the reality of these conditions which are beyond
the grasp of your limited science. Those few who have begun to
realize the true situation are misunderstood and left alone."...
Despite the unmistakable Christian overtones in the author's
narration, in a subtle, indefinable way Mr Dibitonto's description
breaks down the barrier between our conscious experience of
dense-physical life on Earth and, not just life on other planets,
but, it seems, life on the higher, inner planes of existence,
leaving the reader as a result with an overwhelming sense of
oneness, similar to what is experienced during a blessing by
Maitreya.
In one passage, which describes the conclusion of a visit to "a
wonderful planet", the author seems to describe just such an
experience when he says: "I felt enveloped in perfect peace and
melted with quiet rapture. When all this was at its highest
point.... a sublime fire took possession of every living being
present. It was like a golden cord, from abyss to abyss, from
world to world, from heaven to heaven, from ecstasy to ecstasy. It
drew closer to look into our eyes and claim possession of every
fibre of our being; and so also with respect to each individual
brother (and sister) present, and the divine Mother and the Lord.
I saw a Godly Countenance of incomprehensible beauty coming down
from above.... This sublime personification repeated itself a
second, and yet a third time, the last time seeming to appear as
if coming from all directions at all points in the room at the
same time."
The reality of which this book speaks is not conveyed through the
words which the author chose to describe his experiences and the
teachings and revelations which he and his companions received.
Yet the reality of our interconnectedness, not only as a human
family on this planet, but with every expression of Life
throughout the infinite cosmos, speaks from this book in a way
words alone could not achieve. It seems to present itself through
a definite heightening of one's conscious awareness which lingers
on for several days afterwards to the extent that it is more
difficult to understand humanity's violation of itself as seen
daily on the news, or even to enjoy what one would previously
consider 'innocent' forms of entertainment, such as watching a
television series or a film.
Reading this remarkable book evoked in me a more profound
understanding of our connection with and our place in cosmos as
the body of the Creator, where humanity will only be allowed to
roam free when it realizes, and *acts from an experience of*, its
essential oneness with all.

Tucson AZ, USA 1990. (Originally published as *Angeli in
Astronave*, Edizioni Mediterranee, Italy 1983.)
>>>Questions about *Angels in Starships*
Q: From the information which the Space Brothers give in Mr
Dibitonto's book it would seem that most, if not all, of the
angels and many of the prophets in the Old Testament were Space
Brothers. Could you comment, please?
Benjamin Creme: None of the prophets were Space Brothers but
members of the Earth's Spiritual Hierarchy. Some of the 'angels'
were indeed visitors from other planets.
Q: The 'cosmic blessing' which Mr Dibitonto describes in chapter
15 of his book involves Space Brothers whom the author refers to
as "the Blessed Lady" and "the Lord", in a thinly-veiled reference
to the Madonna, and Jesus or the Christ, respectively. Was the
event which Mr Dibitonto described here attended by the Master Who
was the Madonna and the Master Jesus? Or were They Space Brothers
of much the same 'standing', if one can use that word here?
Benjamin Creme: They were the Master Who was the Madonna and the
Master Jesus.
Q: On several occasions the Space Brothers are said to warn of
catastrophic events which await mankind because of its wrong
thoughts and actions, reminiscent of the biblical Apocalypse.
Could it be that the Space Brothers rather warned about the
collapse of our present outmoded structures, while the author
interpreted these warnings according to his own (apparently
Christian) understanding of events surrounding the Second Coming?
Benjamin Creme: No. They were warning against the catastrophes of
global warming and the degradation of our environment, the planet.
Q: The Space Brother whom George Adamski called Ramu identifies
himself here as Raphael. Because of the name, but also because of
the type of experiences which Mr Dibitonto describes in his book,
I was reminded of the advanced being who took Vera Stanley Alder
on a tour of the inner planes, both in micro and in macro cosmos
(if such a distinction exists on the inner planes!), which she
wrote about in her autobiography, *From the Mundane to the
Magnificent*. Was her's the same Raphael as Mr Dibitonto's contact
from space?
Benjamin Creme: No.
THE STAR THAT HERALDS MAITRYEA'S EMERGENCE
"In the very near future, people everywhere will have the
opportunity to witness an extraordinary and significant sign, the
like of which has been manifested only once before, at the birth
of Jesus. Then, according to Christian teaching, a star appeared
in the heavens and led three wise men from the East to the
birthplace of Jesus. Soon, once again, a star-like luminary of
brilliant power will be seen around the world." (Benjamin Creme's
Master, 'Maitreya's first interview', *SI* Jan/Feb 2009)
On 12 December 2008 *Share International* distributed a news
release announcing that in the very near future a large, bright
star would appear in the sky visible throughout the world, night
and day, heralding the imminent appearance of Maitreya in His
first interview on a major US television programme. Since early
January 2009 sightings of the star have been reported all over the
world and hundreds of sightings have been sent to *Share
International*. We include a selection of the latest reports from
the media, *Share International* readers, and sightings from
YouTube. All the photographs show genuine sightings confirmed by
Benjamin Creme's Master to be the 'star-like luminary' heralding
Maitreya's emergence.

>>>'Star' seen on Japanese television
A 'mysterious luminary object in the summer sky' was recently
reported on nationwide Japanese television station.
On 17 July 2009, Japanese Fuji Television during its evening Super
News programme reported the story of a bright, moving, star-like
object and showed a video taken by a viewer, Mr Tokumitu
Yanagisawa.
The witness Mrs Yanagisawa said that she and her husband saw from
their window a 'mysterious luminary object' in the western sky
above the trees. 'It was emitting light, shining brightly,
changing colours, green, yellow, red and so on. It was moving
vertically, up and down, while spinning.'
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms the 'mysterious luminous object'
was the 'star'.)
Tilburg, the Netherlands, 25 July 2009. Evelyn Hoogerwerf writes:
"About midnight the star was positioned low in the sky,
east-southeast, and moved unusually fast southward. In the
foreground the funfair can be seen."

>>>Letters from readers about the 'star'
Dear Editor,
On 4 August 2009, during the closing minutes of the evening
programme on Radio 10 AM 710, Buenos Aires, Argentina, someone
raised the issue about a sighting of a strange light in the sky.
Several listeners called confirming that they too had seen it. Was
this light the 'star' heralding Maitreya's emergence?
S. M., Buenos Aires, Argentina.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the light was the 'star')
Dear Editor,
On Thursday 16 July 2009 at 11.30pm I was looking up at the sky
around my house and noticed a very bright twinkly star low in the
sky. In my mind I asked the star: "If you move a tiny bit I will
be more certain that you are really that star-like luminary body".
To my great surprise the star started to move very quickly from
the south-west to the east, from the front to the back yard of my
house. To my even greater amazement the star -- looking brighter
and bigger -- turned back to the front at a high speed and
disappeared behind the clouds. There was no noise or jetstream as
with a plane. This event took a few minutes. Was it a spacecraft?
K. J., Schoten, Belgium.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms it was the 'star'.)
Dear Editor,
On Sunday 30 August 2009in La Grande Motte sur Mer, south of
France, between 9.30pm and 10.30pm we saw what looked like the
'star' above the sea to the right of the moon in a south-westerly
direction.
Between 11.15pm and 1.15am the star was to be seen left of the
moon in a south-easterly direction. It pulsated really clearly,
moved and changed colour (all sorts of colours, in fact). Was this
the 'star'?
M.V., The Netherlands.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms it was the 'star'.)
Dear Editor,
I have been following your website for 12 years now and I value it
tremendously. Sometimes we hear something that speaks from the
heart and our souls know it is the truth. That's how I feel about
the coming of Maitreya and the information you put out. So thank
you! There is a question I would like to ask. Around 4am on 4 July
2009 in Delaware, USA, I thought I saw the 'star'. It was the only
star up in the sky and it was extremely bright and appeared to be
larger than normal. When I looked through binoculars it appeared
to be a lot of white circles and the whole thing moved on its side
and then on its back and then it kept changing. (But I did not see
colours, just white circled lights.) Was this a UFO?
B. O., Wilmington, Delaware, USA.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms it was the 'star'.)
Dear Editor,
On 24 June 2009 after Transmission Meditation I was cycling home.
It was all cloudy. When I went over the Stone Bridge I noticed a
big, bright star below the clouds, moving slowly from north to
south.
It pulsated and looked like a fireball. The whole thing lasted
about five minutes. When I arrived home I telephoned a group
member living in Berlin and told him what I had seen. Five minutes
later he phoned back and told me that right after our talk he went
on his balcony with his wife and son and they all noticed the same
thing in the sky: a bright star, moving, and looking like a
fireball. Was it the 'star'?
J.A., Regensburg, Germany.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms it was the 'star'.)
Dear Editor,
On Saturday 20 June 2009 a friend and I left the Art Cinema in
Hilversum, the Netherlands, around 11.30pm and drove along the
motorway towards Blaricum when we saw a very strange spectacle in
the sky in the direction of Almere: on the left in the sky we saw
a very bright star and to its right a kind of 'cloud' of at least
15, but maybe even 20, lights. After we left the highway we
stopped the car, but then we only saw the bright star that was
moving away from us, slowly, and eventually disappeared. We both
thought it could be a UFO mothership surrounded by a number of
UFOs. We are very interested to know what we saw?
E. B., the Netherlands.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the "bright star" was
indeed the 'star'. The other objects were spacecraft from the
planet Mars.)
Dear Editor,
It was 28 July 2009, at 12.19am, that I saw a star from my home in
Maastricht, the Netherlands, that made me wonder; it was
south-south-east of Maastricht. And at 4.48am there was another
star in the east over Margraten, but this 'star' was higher up in
the sky.
(1) The star at 12.19am was spherical with a clear diameter and an
enormous luminosity. (2) The star of 4.48am looked kind of
butterfly-like. It was shaped like a triangle with indentations of
light in it, that made me think of a butterfly, and the points
sparkled brightly. (3) I saw also a star at 12.19am on the west
side. It was smaller in diameter and was sparkling less brightly
than the ones I described above, but was still remarkable compared
to the other visible luminaries. Did I see the 'star'?
M. J., the Netherlands.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that (1) and (2) were sightings
of the 'star'; (3) was a spacecraft from Venus.)
Dear Editor,
On 27 July 2009, my girlfriend and I were again looking at the sky
at the three stars which are always there, always shining, always
first to appear at the evening sky and shining more than all the
other stars -- one directly above, one to the south-west, and one
to the south, just above the horizon. This last one is constantly
changing colour to red, so everyone can see it.
Yesterday, my girlfriend was sitting outside, looking at the star
right above and searching to see if the fourth star would appear.
This fourth star is a bit tricky, because it is always on the
move. As strange as it sounds, this is what happened: she called
for me to come outside, and we sat there, looking together. Out of
nowhere, this fourth star appeared, travelling across the sky, in
a northerly direction. It didn't travel from the opposite
direction (from the south), it just appeared in the centre of the
sky, travelling north. We saw the star and wondered if this was
the 'star', because it was shining the same as all the other
stars.
I myself was thinking if that is all, then it's nothing special.
My girlfriend was thinking: "Get bigger, and brighter." Then
suddenly, the star blinked, just like a lighthouse at the sea at
night. We were stunned, we just couldn't believe it, but the star,
as if hearing our thoughts, blinked again, and again, and again,
five times in a row.
What is really interesting is this wasn't a one-off event. We had
seen it before. We usually walk the dog every evening around 8pm,
and I go running every second day for an hour. I saw this fourth
star for the first time when I was running -- it was travelling
from west to the east, in the northern part of the sky. The next
time we saw it together, it was travelling in the same direction,
but just above. The third time my girlfriend saw it, again
travelling across the sky.
On the fourth time, we went for a walk with the dog, as usual. All
the time I somehow knew that we would see it again. We were
walking for an hour and we were almost back at home, so I thought
to myself, better luck next time. But despite this, I looked again
at the star shining just above, thinking to myself: "Light up,
Light up! Light up!" And then it appeared out of nowhere, in the
vicinity of this star just above. My girlfriend started shouting
and then it blinked. As I had wished. It was there for 5 seconds
and then it was gone. Are these the four stars?
M. Z., Majsperk, Slovenia.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms, yes they were the four
'stars'.)
WISE WORDS
>>>A new path for Japan
"How can we put an end to unrestrained market fundamentalism and
financial capitalism, that are void of morals or moderation, in
order to protect the finances and livelihoods of our citizens?
That is the issue we are now facing."
"In the post-Cold War period," said Yukio Hatoyama, Japan's new
Prime Minister, in an article published by the *New York Times*,
"Japan has been continually buffeted by the winds of market
fundamentalism in a US-led movement that is more usually called
globalization. In the fundamentalist pursuit of capitalism people
are treated not as an end but as a means. Consequently, human
dignity is lost.
"In these times, we must return to the idea of fraternity -- as in
the French slogan "liberate, eaglet, fraternity" -- as a force for
moderating the danger inherent within freedom."
Hatoyama continued: "The economic order in any country is built up
over long years and reflects the influence of traditions, habits
and national lifestyles. But globalism has progressed without any
regard for non-economic values, or for environmental issues or
problems of resource restriction.
"In terms of market theory, people are simply personnel expenses.
But in the real world people support the fabric of the local
community and are the physical embodiment of its lifestyle,
traditions and culture. An individual gains respect as a person by
acquiring a job and a role within the local community and being
able to maintain his family's livelihood.
"Under the principle of fraternity, we would not implement
policies that leave areas relating to human lives and safety --
such as agriculture, the environment and medicine -- to the mercy
of globalism.
"Our responsibility as politicians is to refocus our attention on
those non-economic values that have been thrown aside by the march
of globalism. We must work on policies that regenerate the ties
that bring people together, that take greater account of nature
and the environment, that rebuild welfare and medical systems,
that provide better education and child-rearing support, and that
address wealth disparities."
Speaking about international relations, Hatoyama said: "As we seek
to build new structures for international co-operation, we must
overcome excessive nationalism and go down a path toward
rule-based economic cooperation and security."
Hatoyama concluded the article by quoting Count
Coudenhove-Kalergi, founder of the first popular movement for a
united Europe: "All great historical ideas started as a utopian
dream and ended with reality. Whether a particular idea remains as
a utopian dream or becomes a reality depends on the number of
people who believe in the ideal and their ability to act upon it."

>>>Leading figures urge Israel: Stop aggression against Gaza
Sixty three Nobel laureates, 202 Members of the European
Parliament and other world figures such as Martin Gray, Noam
Chomsky, and Michel Rocard, former Prime Minister of France, have
so far signed the "Open the doors" appeal launched in spring 2003
by an NGO called 'Peace Lines'. The appeal calls on Israel to end
forever the siege of Gaza. "More than 1.5 million people are
trapped inside Gaza's borders, exposed to total arbitrariness,"
the appeal claims.
Before the siege began in 2007, Israel had drawn up a list of
4,000 "authorized" products that could be delivered to the Gaza
strip. Now only 30 to 40 products are actually allowed through to
Gaza's citizens. Mattresses, sheets, shoes, clothes, books, tea,
coffee, are all forbidden, as are concrete, doors and window
panes, despite the urgent need to rebuild because of the
destruction caused by the Israeli bombing during the last attack.
The appeal asks Hamas to release detainee Sergeant Shalit of the
Israeli army, while Israel should release a significant number of
over ten thousand Palestinian prisoners, including all the elected
members of the Palestinian legislature.
Among the signatories are Nobel Peace Prize laureates Archbishop
Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Shirin Ebadi, and Mairead Maguire
from Northern Ireland.
Maguire previously distinguished herself by accusing the
municipality of East-Jerusalem of "ethnic cleansing" against the
Arab community. Dozens of Arab homes are under threat of planned
demolition. "I think that the Israeli government is conducting a
politics of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians here in East
Jerusalem, which is contrary to human rights and against the
dignity of the Palestinian people", said peace activist Maguire.
More than 1,500 Arabs are in danger of losing their homes in this
the largest eviction operation since 1967. The pretext used is
that the houses were built or extended without Israeli permission,
but the Arabs claim that it is virtually impossible to get such
permission. More than 10,000 Palestinians live in this area,
against only 60 Jewish families. According to the Israeli peace
movement B'Tselem more than 400 houses in East-Jerusalem have
already been destroyed by the Israeli government.
Earlier, in March 2009, the UN Security Council unanimously voted
in favour of the creation of two separate states as the only
solution for peace. Speaking to the UN, Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon said: "Palestinians continue to see unacceptable and
unilateral acts in East Jerusalem and the remainder of the West
Bank -- house demolitions, intensified settlement activity,
settler violence, and oppressive movement restrictions due to
permits, checkpoints and the barriers, which are intimately
connected to settlements. The time has come for Israel to change
its politics completely as it has repeatedly promised to do, but
not yet done."

THE EMERGENCE OF THE WORLD TEACHER -- IN BRIEF
All the great religions posit the idea of 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 (the Lord Maitreya), while Muslims await the Imam Mahdi,
the Hindus a reincarnation of Krishna, and the Jews the Messiah.
Students of the esoteric tradition know all these as different
names for the same individual -- the Lord Maitreya, the World
Teacher, the head of the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters, and they
look for His imminent return now.
In July 1977, Maitreya emerged from His centre in the Himalayas,
when least expected, "like a thief in the night". Since then, He
has lived in London as an ordinary man concerned with modern
problems -- political, economic and social. Since March 1978, He
has been emerging as a spokesman in the Pakistani-Indian
community. He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the
broadest sense -- pointing the way out of the present world
crisis. According to esoteric teaching, Maitreya manifested
Himself 2,000 years ago in Palestine by overshadowing His disciple
Jesus -- now the Master Jesus. This time Maitreya has come
Himself.
Maitreya's spiritual teaching: 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 concern is reflected in His list of priorities:
an adequate supply of the right food, adequate housing and shelter
for all, healthcare and education as a universal right. His
social message can be summarized in a few words: "Share and save
the world." Maitreya knows we will accept His advice and that we
are on the threshold of an era of peace and goodwill.
Since late 1991, Maitreya has been carrying out a series of
appearances like the one in Nairobi, Kenya. There, on 11 June
1988, He appeared miraculously, "out of the blue", at an
open-air prayer/healing meeting. He was photographed addressing
(in their own language) thousands of people who instantly
recognized Him as the Christ. Similar events have now been
witnessed by large numbers in different countries. In this way,
more and more people will receive proof of His presence and,
hopefully, in due course will demand media response. Maitreya
expects this approach to lead to the Day of Declaration, when He
will leave no doubt that He is the World Teacher. Maitreya will
mentally 'overshadow' all of humanity simultaneously. Each of
us will hear His words inwardly, telepathically, in our own
language, and all will know that the World Teacher is now among
us.
The information about Maitreya's emergence has been presented to
the public since 1974 by Benjamin Creme, chief editor of the
magazine *Share International*. His training for this work,
under a Master of Wisdom, began in 1959.
To summarize the historical perspective:
1982, 14 May: Creme reveals during a press conference in Los
Angeles that Maitreya lives in the Asian community in London,
and challenges the media to invite Maitreya to come forward.
Unfortunately, the media do not react.
1987, August: Benjamin Creme announces: "In the coming three
or four months, Maitreya will be working intensively to bring
about a breakthrough in international relationships in the
world." Less than a month later, the breakthrough comes, in the
political meetings between the Americans and the Soviets,
followed by the armaments agreement in December that no one had
thought possible.
1988: Maitreya appears, both in person and in dreams, to
well-known leaders in various countries, and to many ordinary
citizens. Manifestations of crosses of light are reported in
the US media and are seen by many thousands.
1989/2001: Crosses of Light are seen and filmed, from Canada to
Japan and from the Philippines to Slovenia.
1995, Sept/Oct: Peope world-wide witness the miraculous
disappearance of milk offered to statues of Hindu gods.
1991/2002: Maitreya appears miraculously before large groups of
people all over the world. In Tlacote (Mexico), Nordenau
(Germany) and Nadana (India) healing wells charged by Maitreya
attract growing numbers of visitors. By means of these
'miracles', Maitreya seeks to create a climate of hope and
expectancy in which He can emerge as the Teacher for all
humanity.
Since April 1988, through one of Maitreya's closest associates
in the Asian community of London, *Share International* has
received a series of articles. These outline Maitreya's
teachings and draw attention to developments which He expects to
take place in the world.
Outer events have demonstrated Maitreya's insight. As early as
1988, He foresaw the release of Nelson Mandela and the process of
*detente* in South Africa. Again in 1988, when Mrs Thatcher was
at the very peak of her powers, Maitreya said that she would
resign. In the same year 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.
Furthermore, Maitreya forecast the cease-fire between Iran and
Iraq; the withdrawal of foreign troops from Angola; the global
*rapprochement* between guerrilla forces and national governments;
the Armenian earthquake in 1988, and those in California and China
in 1989; the internal problems of the Soviet Union; the
establishment of peace in the Lebanon. In 1988 He promised:
"Many people will be healed from AIDS through the practice of
prayer". Dutch television announced in October 1995 that more
that 400 people have been cured of AIDS through prayer in Uganda.
Maitreya also forecast the election of a Democrat as President of
the United States and the positive developments in the relation
between Israel and the Palestinians. (Statement made in 1988:
"The Israeli army, against all expectations, will withdraw from
the West Bank and Gaza and return to its homeland.")
*A major event* which, Maitreya says, we may expect to see in the
near future and which he announced as early as 1988: *an
international stock market crash, beginning in Japan*.
