>>>Light relief
Dear Editor,
In July 2005 I participated in the annual French co-workers'
meeting in the Jura. During our journey, I showed my friend
Rose-Marie the ticket collector photographs. We were five people
in the car and Rose-Marie was sitting beside me. I felt very tired
and had a stomach ache.
Then she noticed light reflected on my stomach and a beautiful
cross on my arm. After a moment of silence, she said, quoting:
"When two persons gather in My name, I am among them."
After analysing the phenomenon, we realized that it was the
photograph, not the car window, which was reflecting the light. We
were all very impressed. I felt more dynamic and my stomach ache
disappeared.
Have these light reflections and the cross a particular meaning?
G. J., Lyon, France.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that they carried a blessing
from Maitreya, but did not have a "particular meaning".)
>>>Flag-man
Dear Editor,
On Sunday 2 October 2005 I spent a sunny, blustery day walking in
Kew Gardens. On my way home, I began to dwell on difficulties
rooted in past mistakes, and my expansive mood evaporated.
Suddenly I was overtaken by a young bl-ck man, singing as he
passed, and striding out at a pace much faster than mine. He was
dressed head to toe in brilliant orange: brick-orange woolly hat,
vivid lifebelt-orange jacket, huge orange rucksack, and
immaculate, shiny orange patent-leather Nike shoes. But brightest
of all were his baggy trousers: luminous orange silk or nylon,
festooned with bulging cargo pockets and fastening tapes, they
fluttered in the breeze like gigantic prayer flags. He was so
bright that everything around seemed monochrome by contrast.
Immediately Maitreya crossed my mind -- but not every unusual
person has to be Maitreya, I told myself. A swami? Surely not, far
too trendy.
He quickly left me behind and flickered away like a flame over the
crown of Kew Bridge. But his brilliance and momentum had lifted my
spi-its, and I found myself thinking of how orange is the color
of fire, of renunciation, and how swamis renounce their past to
take on their new lives. It struck me forcefully that I should
stop agonising over the past and get on with living the present.
At the speed he was going, the young man should have been out of
sight, but as I came off the bridge I saw he was not far ahead
after all. He stopped at the network of crossings at the busy
junction. There were plenty of people passing by, but nobody took
any notice of him -- though he stuck out like a sore thumb -- and
he ignored them. I had the feeling he was waiting for me, and was
going to speak to me.
Sure enough, as I reached the crossing he asked me if there was a
station nearby. "Well, there's one over there," I said, pointing
to Kew Bridge station which was only about 50 yards away. He gave
a shout of laughter, slapped me playfully on the arm, and said:
"Well, that's all right then!" -- an expression I often use. He
was perhaps in his late twenties, with a shining, open face, a
shadow of rough beard, and laughing, penetrating eyes that made me
feel warm inside. I told him there was a tube station further
down, but he said that as long as he knew where the station was,
he would be all right. With that, the lights changed. "Look after
yourself!" he said, and I replied: "And you, too," and crossed the
junction to the bus stop.
He followed slowly, stopping to stare at some posters advertising
a rock band on a boarded-up shop. "END DAYS," they announced,
reminding me again of Maitreya. He was gazing straight ahead as he
came towards the bus stop, and I thought he would not notice me
behind the shelter, but as he passed he glanced sideways with
those bright eyes and gave me a broad grin, as though he knew I
was there all along. The last I saw of him was his glowing orange
back as he went down the station steps.
Would the Master kindly say was this vivid young man perhaps
Maitreya?
J.G., London, UK.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the 'young man' was indeed
Maitreya. He was visible only to the writer.)
>>>Kofi Anon
Dear Editor,
At Benjamin Creme's lecture in New York on 30 July 2005, some 15
minutes before the beginning, my attention was caught by a man who
looked very much like Kofi Annan. He was tall, very poised, with
vivid eyes. At first I thought that he had come in because of the
sign placed at the entrance of the building, announcing the
subject of the talk that evening. He seemed to be casting a glance
at what was happening in the lobby. Ten minutes later, I saw him
standing at the entrance of the auditorium, again looking at what
was going on and I concluded that he was most probably one of the
organizers, standing there to answer questions from attendees.
During the lecture, Benjamin Creme mentioned that "Maitreya was
here tonight". I immediately remembered the 'presence' of the man
whose resemblance to Kofi Annan captured my attention, and most of
all the calmness in his eyes and his deportment.
Was this man Maitreya?
J.L., Orleans, Ontario, Canada.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the man was not Maitreya
but the Master Je--s.)
>>>Spaceships in Dutch sky
Dear Editor,
On the night of Saturday 24 September 2005, during the annual
International Transmission Meditation Conference in Rolduc,
Kerkrade, the Netherlands, four moving objects were spotted in the
sky. The objects were the size of a star, and were blinking like
an aeroplane coming down to land. Instead of moving in a straight
line like a plane, the objects each 'danced' from time to time,
criss-crossing up and down, back and forth. Around each point of
light a ring of light was visible, like a ring around the planet
Saturn. Small red and green points were blinking. At one moment
one of the moving objects 'spat out' a cloud of sparks, like a
rocket in a display of fireworks, except that they did not explode
from the top, but from the bottom like a fish spawning. Were they
UFOs?
A.M., Velserbroek, the Netherlands.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the four moving objects
were spaceships from Mars, flying in formation. They were engaged
in work in the area, but made themselves visible, by request of
Maitreya, so that the participants of the Transmission Meditation
conference would be able to see them.)
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
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.
Send your written questions to: Share International/Questions,
PO Box 3677, London NW5 1RU, UK.
Q. Could your Master please say how many people marched on the
peace demonstrations on Saturday 24 September 2005 in (1)
Washington and (2) London? (3) Was Maitreya present on either
march?
A. (1) 55,000. (2) 70,000. (3) Yes, both.
Q. Has Maitreya charged all of the 777 healing wells as planned
and as mentioned in your books?
A. No, not yet. He has broken off doing this for the moment. He is
extraordinarily busy now. There are approximately 240 wells which
have already been charged energetically by Him. He will continue
this work in due course.
Q. What caused the very powerful (7.6 magnitude) earthquake in
Pakistan -- about 60 miles (100 kilometres) north-northeast of
Islamabad?
A. It was the result of underground nuc-ear explosions by
Pakistan.
Q. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast of the USA;
tropical storm Stan hit Central America and Mexico. China and
Taiwan have been battling extreme weather conditions. I read that
Katrina was a result of US foreign policy and the fear and tension
resulting from it. (1) Was Rita also a part of the same process?
(2) Could you please explain the causes of hurricane Stan? Is it
the tail-end of the Katrina phenomenon?
A. (1) Yes. (2) Yes.
Q. Recently in *Share International* you said the death toll from
hurricane Katrina would be 12,000 instead of the approximately
1,200 now confirmed. Should we assume that Mr Creme misheard the
number from his Master? I honestly am astonished how he keeps the
massive amount of information straight in his head.
A. No, up to 12,000 is accurate. The figures have been manipulated
by the US administ-ation (more l-es). A large number of bodies,
even now, have not even been counted. The Mayor of New Orleans
himself said, at the time, that they must expect at least 10,000
deaths.
Q. I wonder about the information about 12,000 dead people after
the Katrina disaster. Is that the right information? I heard that
approximately 1,200 are found now and there are probably no more
bodies to find, definitively not 11,000 more to find. I also
wonder about the information that Saddam Hussein captured a while
ago actually is not Saddam himself, but a look-alike. Is this
still the right information?
A. Both answers are accurate. Saddam Hussein is dead. The number
of deaths in the Gulf Coast area has been manipulated by the US
administration.
Q. With all the li-s and manipulations being uncovered in the last
few years I can hardly believe a word that Tony Bl-ir, George B-sh
or their gov-rnments say. Recently secu-ity on New York's subway
was stepped up after city officials said they had received a
"credible se-urity threat". At the same time George Bu-h held a
press conference announcing how the US and its allies had foiled
10 major terror plots since the 11 September attacks, in a speech
designed to boost support for the so-called 'wa- on terror'. The
BBC wrote: "The sketchy details provided by the White House make
it hard to assess how serious or advanced the plans were." The
situation is very confusing. Is this yet more manipulation and
propaganda from the US gove-nment?
A. Yes. There was only one genuine terror attack which took place
in London on 7 July 2005. The others were vague, sketchy and
surmise.
Q. Is the group Al-Qaeda really as structured and organized as the
US and UK gov-rnments lead us to believe when talking up their
'w-r on terror'?
A. No. It is a loose collection of people who share the same
ideals and grievances but carry out their acts of terror on an *ad
hoc* basis.
Q. When Maitreya begins to make His media appearances, even though
He won't be stating Who He is at first, would it be advised for
co-workers who recognize Maitreya not to point Him out to people
outside of the network (including family and friends) because it
would interfere with the freewill of an individual to recognize
Maitreya for themselves?
A. Yes. I have several times made it clear to co-workers that this
should be the procedure. It is very important, *especially in
relation to media*, that their and others' freewill is not
infringed and that they respond to Maitreya *for what He is
saying* as a man among men rather than as the Christ or World
Teacher.
Q. You say that when Maitreya comes on television first, He won't
be called Maitreya. How will people invite Him on television? What
will His qualifications be?
A. He will have a name, but it will not be Maitreya. The point is
He does not want the ideas to be coming from a Being so high that
people become devotees. He does not want devotees, He does not
want followers. He says: "If you follow Me you will lose Me. If
you try to put Me in your pocket you will never find me." The
Chri-tians will try to put Him in their pocket. So will Muslims,
so will Hindus, and especially Buddhists. It is not a problem; if
He is invited on television to speak, He can be invited on another
channel to speak to more people. It is as simple as that. On the
Day of Declaration He will acknowledge what many people suspect
but may be unsure of, that He is the World Teacher.
He will be invited as Mr So-and-So to speak about his ideas. It
will be restrained at first, He will not say what I am saying at
first, but He will grow in intensity as people around Him respond.
If He said what I would say He would drive people away from Him.
He does not make a difference between fundamentalist Chr-stians,
fundamentalist J-ws, fundamentalist Muslims, and so on, and
non-fundamentalists, He does not make that difference. He has
thousands of followers who at some level have experienced Him and
they know Him. It is hard to describe. He is totally tolerant, non
exclusive.
Q. According to one of Madame Blavatsky's books, the Apostle Peter
lived in Babylon after the crucifixion. Does that mean he was not
martyred under Nero, was not the first Pope, nor buried at the
present site of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome as claimed by the
Chu-ch; that he did return to Rome after a time, or that Madame
Blavatsky dreamed up her own account (either in *Isis Unveiled* or
*Secret Doctrine*, not sure which) as she did some other materials
like (as it says in one of the Alice A. Bailey volumes) parts of
the *Mahatma Letters*? Or is this the kind of question that only
the Masters could answer and are not going to?
A. This is the kind of question that only the Masters could answer
and one is going to now: Madame Blavatsky is correct in her
statement that the Apostle Peter did indeed live in Babylon after
the Crucifixion. He was instructed to do this after the death of
Jes-- and continued the work of teaching and healing among the
groups who had responded to the teachings of Je--s. He was not
martyred (upside down or right way up) under Nero, was not the
first Pope, nor buried in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome as
claimed by the C-urch. There are many other inaccuracies of this
kind in the Chur-h's teaching which have still to come to light.
However, I do not think these inaccuracies are all that important;
the basic teachings of the Christ through J--us are the important
things.
Q. Of the 12 disciples, we learn that most of them suffered a
martyr's death: Jude and Simon in Persia, James the Greater in
Spain, Thomas in India, Matthew in Ethiopia, and that Andrew,
James the Lesser, Matthias (who replaced Judas) and Peter were
crucified, leaving John, Bartholomew and Philip who did not die as
martyrs. How accurate is this information?
A. Simon, James the Greater and James the Lesser were crucified.
Jude, Thomas, Matthew and Matthias were martyred in various ways.
Andrew, John, Bartholomew, Philip and Peter died natural deaths.
THE EMERGENCE OF THE WORLD TEACHER -- IN BRIEF
All the great rel-gions posit the idea of a further revelation
to be given by a future Teacher. Chr-stians 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 rein-arnation of Krishna, and the Je-s 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 Spi-itual Hierarchy of Masters, and they
look for His imminent return now.
In July 1977, Maitreya emerged from His center 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 reli-ious 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
Je--s -- now the Master J--us. This time Maitreya has come
Himself.
Maitreya's sp-ritual teaching: Maitreya does not intend to build
a new rel-gion around Himself, nor to create followers, but to
teach humanity "the art of Self-realization". The first steps are
"honesty of mind, sincerity of sp-rit 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 Ch-ist. 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, telep-thically, 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 g-ds.
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 gov-rnments 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 gov-rnments;
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 Dem-crat as Pre-ident of
the Un-ted 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*.
