Everyone looks to identify with something larger than themselves. That
sense of unity is essential because everyone is looking for it whether
they know they are looking for it or not. Unity is the soul’s
awareness of the unity of cosmos. Nothing less than that. And where
you create unity in your work, in your group, in your nation, or in
the group of nations, you benefit humanity...
Evolution is moving towards greater unity, fusion, blending, the
creation of the one humanity – not the sameness of life but the
unification of all diversity. The greatest unity with the greatest
diversity is the evolutionary aim. Market forces work in the opposite
direction, by creating more and more divisions. Maitreya calls market
forces “the forces of evil”, because of their in-built inequality.
They have created division in the world which has now reached crisis
proportions. He can no longer stand aside and watch what He calls “the
massacre of the innocents”. So He has come into the world with the
knowledge that there is a large body of people who are longing, and
able, to co-operate, whose view of life is one of co-operation,
justice and freedom for everyone. He is here to inspire and confirm
those who see co-operation as the way forward, and awaken those who
are holding on to the old competitive modes. (Benjamin Creme, The
Great Approach)
In unity there is diversity. The time has come to awaken. Be what you
are. Do not follow one another. Gradually you will become evolved. No
two persons are alike. No two persons can be carbon copies. The moment
you take on another’s personality you are creating a distance between
Me and you. The moment you are what you are, you begin to enjoy bliss,
serenity, tranquility. Then there is no distance between us.
(Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life)
My children, My friends, I have come more quickly, perhaps, than you
expected. But there is much to do, much that needs changing in the
world. Many hunger and die, many suffer needlessly. I come to change
all that; to show you the way forward — into a simpler, saner, happier
life — together. No longer man against man, nation against nation, but
together, as brothers, shall we go forth into the New Country.
(Maitreya, from Message No.1)

=============
It's about time for the human family to wake up and to become a
functional family. Maitreya will inspire mankind to rebuild the world
so that it's a great place for everyone. Together we will wipe the
scourge of political corruption and the results of that (like poverty,
war, environmental degradation) from the face of the earth. I know
that's practically impossible for most people to believe. You are
hereby encouraged to check it out & to try to keep an open mind about
it all.
These days, skepticism is essential but you are encouraged to avoid
jumping to conclusions prematurely. Many people get in a hurry and
make the mistake of rushing to judgement, basing their conclusions
upon false assumptions, rather than facts.
From one perspective, someone could truthfully say that our
civilization is an advanced civilization. It would also be correct to
say that our civilization is very primitive. A world of plenty
plagued with dishonest politicians, wars, obesity, hunger, extreme
material wealth, extreme poverty, commercialization & environmental
degradation is not a civilized world. The human family is not
functional. That will soon change. The people of this earth - all
brothers and sisters are all essentially (from their perspective)
good, but far too many have been misled. They have heard some lies
repeated so many times that they have become 'truth' to them.
Many world leaders have lost their way, and have become "mis-
leaders". We the people have the power to change all that. We must
stand up for our rights and demand that the government serve the
people. The power belongs to the people and will soon be in our hands.
The time for the government to serve the rich at the expense of the
people has past. It's time for us to transform this huge family of
ours into a functional family. That is beginning to happen now.
For humanity to flourish, the basic human needs for food, shelter,
health-care, & education must be guaranteed. Together, under the
inspiration of Maitreya the World Teacher and the Masters of Wisdom,
people everywhere will learn to see humanity as one huge family, and
will rebuild the world so that man's basic needs are the guaranteed
rights of everyone. The elimination of fear and the establishment of a
system where everyone is cared for & viewed as important, will bring
dramatic improvements in society and the world.
The difference will be like the difference between night & day, or to
be specific: the difference between a dysfunctional family plagued by
corruption, greed, violence, fear & ignorance & and a functional
family characterized by honesty, love, respect, sharing, &
cooperation.
We have reached a critical point in the history of our planet Earth.
In brief, we must change our ways or perish. The Earth is a living
system that must be respected and cared for, not raped and pillaged
for corporate profits. We are befouling our nest like there is no
tomorrow. The time for political corruption and its consequences
(war, social injustice, hunger, poverty, environmental degradation
etc.) has past. It is time for us to move forward. The power belongs
to the people, but we have to stand up and seize it. More of us have
to get up off the sofa or out of bed and work to transform the world
if we want a viable civilization. Maitreya has said that 'Nothing
happens by itself, man must act to implement his will.'
Jeffery Sachs recently said that 'we can be the first generation to
end poverty, or we can be the last generation to have a viable
planet.' The choice is up to all of us - everyone. We all share
responsibility for the current situation. We can't rely on "somebody
else". True adults work, while children play. Be an adult if you can.
Think of something good that you can do for total strangers. Any
amount of time that you spend in this way is helpful (five minutes or
forty hours a week or a year) - any amount is better than nothing. It
is good for you and good for the whole world. Try to see all life as
one huge interconnected family, cause that's what we are. There are
solutions to all of our family's problems. We are not going to remain
dysfunctional forever. Maitreya as an agent of divine intervention
will inspire humanity to make great changes for the good of the whole
family.

I don't think this is the case. I believe the problem is that people
desire some "system" to solve their problems for them. Replacing the
current system with another one will not bring dramatic improvements in
society and the world; in fact, I believe it will compound the issue.
What's really needed is to leave behind the idea of leaders and for
everyone to lead themselves with an awareness of their connection to the
rest of mankind and the planet.
