From ancient times, a body of spiritual* teaching known as the Ageless Wisdom has been handed down from generation to generation. A systematic and comprehensive account of the evolution of consciousness in man and nature, it describes how the universe came to exist, how it operates, and man's place within it. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Ageless Wisdom has provided the inspiration for the arts and sciences throughout the ages and is also the common foundation of all the world's religions. 'Esotericism,' as it is sometimes called, is also the art of working with those energies which emanate from the highest spiritual sources.</span><img src="http://www.shareintl.org/images/aab.jpg" /><span style="font-size: large;">As humanity matures, further aspects of this previously hidden knowledge are released in a wider, more open manner. Throughout the last 100 years, the Ageless Wisdom Teachings have been communicated through individuals such as Helena Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society, and later by Alice A. Bailey and Helena Roerich.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>God and man</b></span><br />
<br />
Esotericism defines God as the sum total of all the Laws, and all the energies governed by these Laws which make up everything in the manifested and unmanifested universe ― all that we see and cannot see. God is also the great Cosmic Being Who ensouls this planet.<br />
<br />
Man, in turn, is a 'Spark of God,' a spiritual being expressing itself through a physical body. Each one of us is essentially divine but, compared to the great achievers throughout history in all religions and fields of human endeavor, most individuals recognize and demonstrate this divinity only to a limited degree.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Law of Rebirth</b></span><br />
<br />
The process by which we gradually manifest more of this divinity is rebirth (reincarnation). Like children entering the school system at kindergarten, we begin at a very basic level of human expression, not realizing our true spiritual heritage. Through the experiences of countless lifetimes lived in many countries, with different cultural and religious upbringings, in both male and female bodies, we learn many lessons through successes and failures, and move forward on our evolutionary journey back to our Source. The gains in each lifetime are carried over to the next.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Law of Cause and Effect</b></span><br />
The 'method' used in this educational system is the Law of Cause and Effect (or, in Eastern terms, 'karma') which the Bible would describe: "As you sow, so shall you reap." In terms of modern physics, the Law of Cause and Effect could be summarized as: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Every thought and deed sets up a cause that inevitably leads to certain effects for better or worse. By understanding and working within this impersonal Law, we learn to make better choices and gradually take control of our own destiny. Through experiencing all that life in this world has to offer, we ultimately acquire total mastery over ourselves and become perfected beings ― Masters of Wisdom ― fully manifesting the divinity that dwells in each of us.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Spiritual Hierarchy</b></span><br />
The Masters of Wisdom, together forming the Spiritual Hierarchy, are the custodians of the Divine Plan for this planet. They have inspired all the great human achievements, working from behind the scenes through their disciples in every field of endeavor. The Masters guide and teach, but it is humanity itself, responding of its own free will to their stimulus, which creates each new civilization. Today, the Masters are returning to the outer world as a group for the first time in countless millennia.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shareintl.org/background/awteachings/AWT_main.htm#top"><img border="0" src="http://www.shareintl.org/images/top.gif" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Continuity of teaching</b></span><br />
<br />
Throughout history, when humanity has reached a major point of crisis, the Spiritual Hierarchy has sent a Teacher to show the way forward. The most well-known of these divine messengers are Krishna, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus and Mohammed. Each of their teachings gave birth to a new religion.<br />
<br />
Virtually every spiritual tradition now expects the return of their revered Teacher to validate the past and to carry on the teaching. Christians await the Christ; Jews, the Messiah; Muslims, the Imam Mahdi or Messiah; Buddhists, the Fifth Buddha; and Hindus, the Lord Krishna. In the esoteric tradition, one individual ― the World Teacher ― is seen as the fulfillment of all these expectations.<br />
<br />
The World Teacher for the current time is Maitreya, the 'eldest brother' in the human family and head of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Preferring to be known simply as the Teacher, Maitreya has not come to found a new religion, but to act as a guide and counselor for all humanity ― regardless of religious affiliation.<br />
<br />
Having perfected and fully manifested within himself the Divine Will, Love, Wisdom and Intelligence of God, Maitreya will reveal a new aspect of God. He will lead us to the recognition of our own divinity and our true identity as souls. Out of this greater spiritual understanding and creative power will come a new livingness, harmony and joy.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The anti-christ</b></span><br />
<br />
The anti-christ is not a man who will come out before the Christ, and could even be mistaken for the Christ. This idea comes from an interpretation of the Revelation of St. John: the beast, 666, is unchained for a time, and then chained down for a time and half a time. This passage actually refers to the release of the energy we call the anti-christ. It is not a man but an energy, a destructive force which is deliberately released to break down the old order, the old civilization. It was released in John's own day, through the Emperor Nero, to bring about the end of the Roman dispensation, to prepare the way for Christendom. It was released again in our time through Hitler, a group of equally evil men around him in Nazi Germany, together with a group of militarists in Japan and a further group around Mussolini in Italy. These three groups, the Axis powers in the war from 1939 to 1945, embodied the energy we call the anti-christ. That destructive force was released to prepare the way for the return of the Christ to the world now. And it was, indeed, in June 1945, precisely at the end of the war, that Maitreya announced his intention to return at the earliest possible moment, and this time to bring his group, the Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy, back into the world ― in their case for the first time in some 95,000 years. With the defeat of the Axis powers during World War II, the work of the anti-christ energy was completed for this age and will not manifest again for over 3,000 years.<br />

<br />
*The term 'spiritual,' usually associated with some form of religion or religious practice, actually has a much broader meaning: "All activity which drives the human being forward towards some form of development ― physical, emotional, intuitional, social ― if it is in advance of his present state, is essentially spiritual in nature." [The Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul] By this definition, every word, thought and action is potentially spiritual and capable of improving the human condition.</span><br />

<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on"><b><i><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">New York City</span></i></b></st1:city><b><i><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">, <st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region></span></i></b></st1:place><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
In New York City, in the autumn of 1998, scientists and religious leaders met before the public, intent on addressing the environmental crisis in a way that scientific data alone has yet to achieve: by calling for a change in the way people treat the earth.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Speakers acknowledged religion as a rich source of insight into man's relationship with nature and the cosmos. It has the potential to counterbalance the dominance of the profit ethos and inspire people to be better stewards of the planet. Religion can also be a medium of communication, with a reach and influence unrivaled by television or the Internet.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">So, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of faith traditions, these scholars are in the process of formulating a set of environmental ethics that they hope will set the pace for an eventual transformation in the human/earth relationship.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">This transformation is the central endeavor of the World Religions and Ecology Series sponsored by <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Harvard</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place> -- an on-going project which has brought together people the world over, to engage in scholarly discourse on a range of religious practices and theological views of the natural kingdom. The <st1:state w:st="on">New York</st1:state> meetings, held at the United Nations and the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">American</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Museum</st1:placetype></st1:place> of Natural History, moved this burgeoning partnership of religion and science from academia onto the public stage.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">It was a heartening program for the audience of students, advocates and concerned citizens gathered to hear what was at once a motivational rally and a grim reporting on the state of the earth by some of the foremost names of the environmental movement. The obstacles that activists face are tremendous. In recent years, world concern for the environment has languished beneath the push for global market growth while advocates for commercial interests have launched campaigns to discredit scientific proof of global warming.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Ultimately, ethics-based solutions to the earth crisis will demand a fundamental change of course away from many dearly-held assumptions and life choices. As one participant put it: the biggest hurdle we face may be ourselves.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Redefining the good life</span></strong><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">"Whatever happened to the virtue of frugality? This used to be a very strong Protestant virtue and a Catholic tradition as well. We've lost any sense of knowing when enough is enough," said Sallie McFague, Professor of Theology at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Vanderbilt</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place>. With the eminent journalist Bill Moyers as moderator, McFague and a panel of religious scholars discussed the perilous effect of over-production and over-consumption on the ecosystem and the ways that religious tradition can motivate people to see life in terms other than consumer-based.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">"As religious leaders one of our jobs is to give a vision, especially to our young people, of a different kind of abundant life," McFague said. "A life where a person has satisfying work, they have their basic needs met, they have time for their relationships and they can pursue opportunities that they want -- that can be called 'the good life'."</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">In Islamic culture, the issue is not a disconnection between economics and ethics, according to Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Professor of Islamic Studies at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">George</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Washington</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place>. He pointed out: "It is not a problem to get people to realize the correct balance between the spiritual and economic. It's the other way around -- of trying to prevent modernized minorities, influenced very strongly by the West, from corrupting the natural and normal view of the Islamic majority."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Religion can remind us of those values, and sensitize a society of American voters to expect environmental leadership from their elected officials.<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Indeed, it is a Western nation that is the world's largest polluter and the most recalcitrant on issues of the environment. The <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>, by a vote in Congress, refuses to enter into any treaty to protect the earth that is perceived to be damaging to the nation's economy. It's a policy that many would say follows economic logic. But that logic reduces a person to a mere unit of an economic transaction motivated solely by price and profit entirely bypassing the range of spiritual and social values that motivate human life. Religion can remind us of those values, and sensitize a society of American voters to expect environmental leadership from their elected officials.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">But religious ideals alone aren't enough to save the planet. The investigative vigor of science is needed to report what we're actually doing to the planet. Jane Lubchenko, Professor of Marine Biology at Oregon State University, described the magnitude of the "human footprint" on the planet: half of the planet's land surface has been transformed by humans; nearly half of its surface fresh water is used by humans; 30 per cent of the contents of the earth atmosphere has been altered since the Industrial Revolution; two-thirds of the ocean fisheries are fully overexploited or depleted; and 30,000 species a year, or three species per hour, are lost due to human activity.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Offering hopeful news, Dr Lubchenko noted the "remarkable progress" of nations to control the release of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons. And among the major oil corporations, British Petroleum and Shell have taken prompt action to begin converting to sustainable practices.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<b><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Civil society network</span></b><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Linking the aspirations expressed in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> with the world community is the Earth Charter Initiative, a project launched in 1995 to define the principles of a planetary ethic based on worldwide participation. It was the brainchild of Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong, the man considered to be the most influential figure in contemporary environmental advocacy.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Steven Rockefeller, Professor of Theology at <st1:placename w:st="on">Middlebury</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">College</st1:placetype> and the director of the Earth Charter drafting process, invited the <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> audience to read the latest draft and contribute their own ideas on common goals for humanity. Distinct from the World Religions and Ecology project, which is primarily an academic endeavor, the Earth Charter Initiative is a people's treaty which seeks to involve the ideas of the largest possible number of people, from individuals to international organizations, representing a broad range of cultures, religions and groups of society. Professor Rockefeller sees the Charter as a demonstration of a "powerful civil society network", and because of it, he says, the nations of the world were moved to accept the landmark treaty in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Kyoto</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Japan</st1:country-region></st1:place>, for the reduction of greenhouse gases.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Earth Charter drafting process will continue with extensive consultations and reviews which will bring a finished document to the United Nations General Assembly for endorsement by the end of 1999. Professor Rockefeller believes the Charter is generating international consensus on environmental issues but cautions that opposition is strong: "There are many people who would rather exploit the earth than respect it."</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Considering the urgency of environmental challenges, an onstage invocation for divine intervention might not have been out of place. But there was recognition that the human species is not laboring alone. Journalist Bill Moyers asked rhetorically: "If the wisdom of the religious traditions could speak with one voice, through the centuries and across the varieties of human experience, what single question on this issue of the environment would it put to the human species?" The philosopher Brian Swimme suggested the possibility of an interactive cosmos: "If we regarded ourselves as a subsystem of the whole earth community, what guidance would the governing tendencies of the universe offer us?" And Thomas Berry, the elder statesman of environmental ethics, in closing remarks of encouragement said: "We are not left alone. The powers of the planet, the powers of the universe, are ready to support us."</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Shaping the ecological debate was a role that religious communities on the whole did not initiate on their own. In fact, it was a direct appeal to the faith traditions made by the Union of Concerned Scientists which inspired the genesis of the World Religions and Ecology Series. Through this project, scientists and religious leaders are boldly stepping out of their conventional domains, understanding that a single specialized view can no longer adequately address the multitude of challenges that make up the earth crisis.</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">There's no lack of conferences calling for a revolution in consciousness but can it happen soon enough? Said Professor Nasr of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">George</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Washington</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place>: "I believe there's no possibility of healing the earth within the modern paradigm. We need really heroic people to be able to challenge the world view at its very foundation but it takes a lot of courage because you are now not the voice of the majority. We need a few voices crying in the wilderness."</span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div align="center" style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>by the Master –, through Benjamin Creme</b></span> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div>
<hr style="color: navy;" />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial;">Never before in the world’s history has so much depended on the decisions now being made, behind closed doors, in the political power-centres of the planet. At long last, the political and economic realities of the present world crisis have persuaded the men of power to address these problems. On their deliberations rests the future well-being of the world.<br /><br />Until now, the ‘first world’ nations have taken for granted their favoured position in world affairs, and have organized economic power to their own advantage. For the first time, they turn their attention now to the fact of ‘third world’ deprivation, and look for mutually beneficial solutions to the many issues which endanger world stability. Hearkening to the cry for succour from the poorer nations, the rich prepare at last to contemplate the inevitable: the need to share. This represents a vital shift in attitudes and augurs well for the future.<br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Door to reality</span></b><br /><br />Whether or not these deliberations find expression in concrete actions and proposals, the door to reality and common sense has been opened, a glimpse of the possible, however momentary and imperfect, has been taken. This will lead, in due course, to a ready response to Maitreya’s recommendations; willingly and gladly, or not at all, must men accept the needed changes.<br /><br />That they will accept them is not in doubt: the alternative, terrible to contemplate, would end for ever man’s sojourn on Earth. History tells us that man, infinitely adaptable, has survived many crises and dangers — always, however belatedly, his instinct to preserve the race has saved him from destruction.<br /><br />As he stands at the threshold of the new era, man faces, once again, the dilemma of choice.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Elder Brothers</b></span><br />In past crises, man has been aided, often from behind the scenes, by his Elder Brothers. This time, a new situation pertains and, in full vision and fact, the Brothers will extend Their counsel and insight. Thus will men be aided in their choices and decisions; thus will they take the shortest path to Truth.<br /><br />Informed and guided by Maitreya and His Group, men will quickly end the worst divisions in this divided world: mass poverty and starvation will fade from sight and memory; old wounds will be healed, past wrongs forgiven.<br /><br />Thus will the sons of men recommence their journey into their divinity. Under the leadership of Maitreya and His Brothers, they will know the meaning and purpose of their lives and, dedicating themselves to the establishment of the Divine Plan, will recognize each other as Divine Sons of God. Thus will it be; and thus will the travail of the Great Lord be complete. The timing of His emergence has been determined. The world will see Him forthwith.<br />

<span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Looked at from Our vantage point, the present situation of the world is not without its problems and dangers, but nevertheless carries within it the seeds of change and hope for the future. What that future precisely will be depends on man himself and his readiness for a radical transformation of his attitudes and actions.<br /><br />Without doubt, were man to stumble forward blindly, alone, his cause were as good as lost, for he lacks as yet the wisdom to restrain his power; he lacks the will to implement his higher aspirations; he lacks, above all, the love for his brother which would end forever much of the misery in the world.<br /><br />Happily for the world, man is not alone. Behind him stand, and have always stood, the Elder Brothers of the race, ready to succour Our ailing younger brethren when the call for help rises to Us. Once again that call has come and We respond with joy. Without Our help, man's plight would be sorry indeed. So far has he strayed from the Path of Truth that even the least wise see the dangers. The foolhardy, however, ignoring the quicksands, continue to play their game of chance.<br /><b><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A new order</span></b><br /><br />When you see Us, you will see men who have made before you the journey back to God. You will recognize in Us divine characteristics potential in yourselves. Thus will you know your future glory. Out of the present chaos shall We inspire a new order; from the hatreds and divisions shall we create harmony and peace, while from doubt and fear shall We engender meaning, faith and joy.<br /><br />We come to serve, to teach and to work together with you. We know your problems and We know, too, the solutions to these problems. We can see, and hold in reverence, the inner divinity of men, and await, with confidence, its manifestation when evoked by Us.<br /><br />This will lead to a new situation on the Earth. God, through Us, and man will come together. From that divine at-one-ment will flow the new civilization, and into man's hands will be placed the power of the Creator. Man will find himself a co-worker with God.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>The Forerunners</b></span><br />Presently, the world will know of Our existence. For long have We prepared to come before you and do so now in a spirit of joy. Know that there is naught that you suffer that We have not suffered; there is no pain or humiliation which We have not known; your failures have been Our failures, your faltering steps Ours. On the self-same path have We achieved and offer you the fruits of that achievement. We are the forerunners, the Pointers on the Way.<br /><br />Now is approaching the time of regeneration. Now commences the Era of Truth. First, Maitreya. Then We shall be seen.<br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Crisis and promise</span></b><br /><br />The present is a time of crisis and promise. The New struggles to find form. The Old strives to survive amidst the destined change. Humanity is ready for the next step; the long sleep is ending; the sleepers awake. The call to freedom and joy echoes in the hearts of the peoples and stirs them to action. Little time there is now to prepare. Soon the face of Maitreya will be seen. He alone can bridge the divisions among the nations and bring them, trusting, to each other's aid.</span><br />

<div align="center" style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>by the Master –, through Benjamin Creme</b></span></div>
<hr style="color: navy;" />
<div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Within humanity today a growing number of people are achieving continuity of consciousness and are thus retaining the experiences of the sleep state. This makes for faster evolution as no time is lost in waiting for the filtering down of information to the brain to take place. It also ensures the reception of more accurate information leading to more correct action and results.<br /><br />This is the way forward for humanity. Until now, the break in consciousness between the waking and sleeping states has proved an obstacle to large scale advance. More than anything else, it has kept humanity in ignorance of the true nature of reality, and, consequently in superstition and fear.<br /><br />Nearly a third of life is spent asleep and much information is given and received during that period. Many are the experiences which may be had and known, enriching the life of every individual. Never before, on a large scale, has the opportunity been present for a gradual shift in consciousness to take place. Already, a large group stands ready to achieve this continuity, lacking only the practical techniques for its achievement.<br /><br />Soon, steps will be taken to make more known and available the information already given on the subject. Much has been imparted which awaits study and application; few, today, realize the treasure-chest of instruction which has been recorded and published.<br /><br />Mental polarization is the key to this achievement. Correct alignment of the astral and physical bodies provides the basis on which mental polarization can gradually be built. This achieved, continuity of consciousness naturally unfolds. There are, of course, degrees of this achievement and the process covers a considerable period of time.<br /><br />Much has been written about the need for spiritual detachment. This quality most readily provides the field for the correct interpretation of phenomena and information carried over from the sleep state. Otherwise, despite continuous consciousness, much distortion can ensue.<br /><br />Spiritual detachment results from decentralization. Through service and correct meditation, the orientation of the disciple shifts from his limited self to the not-self. This begets a state of divine indifference in which desire subsides and the true inner man can appear.<br /><br />With his appearance, the way is open for continuity of consciousness to begin. Safely, the out-of-body experience can be correctly registered and known, and a new chapter opened in the life of the disciple. The halls of Learning or of Wisdom become his conscious fields of knowledge, depending on his level on the Path.<br /><br />So far, we have discussed only the continuity of consciousness between the sleep and waking states. A further expansion of awareness awaits the disciple who can bridge the gap between the two great areas of experience to which we give the names of life and death.<br /><br />Life alone exists. Death is but the name for another level of experience of life, continuous and unbroken except for man's limited consciousness. The time is coming in which the experience we call death, the intervening period, and the return to outer manifestation will be recalled in full consciousness by the man. Then will man lose the fear of death and reap the harvest of the inner planes of knowledge and bliss in total awareness of his true identity as a Son of God.</span></div>

<div align="center" style="color: navy;">

<hr style="color: navy;" />
<span style="color: navy; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">As the millennium draws ever nearer, it becomes increasingly evident that new values are gradually entering the minds and hearts of humanity. No longer are millions, erstwhile all but slaves, prepared to tolerate their lot; they rise against the tyranny which oppresses them and demand a better life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Elsewhere, a new concern for honesty and the rule of law calls into question and condemns the corruption and <i>laissez-faire </i>of the recent past. A new sense of responsibility for others grips the conscience of many who seek to serve their brothers and sisters around the world. From whence comes this cleansing power, this salutary Grace?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For many years now, Maitreya has focused in the world the energy of the Spirit of Peace or Equilibrium. This mighty, cosmic avatar is changing, under our eyes, the fabric of men’s lives. Through His beneficent power, that which destroyed and tore apart is rendered harmless and benign; that which separates and divides now seeks to bring together. In equal measure, in opposite balance, Action and Reaction impose their restoring rhythm, and bring harmony to the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">When Maitreya works openly, men will see more clearly the working of this great Law.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><br /></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Collapse</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Meanwhile, the old order crumbles, driven to the edge by its own extremes. Men are witnessing the collapse of the Empire of Greed, the tyranny of market forces, the freebooter’s heyday. From now on, the tendency in all affairs will be towards the Common Good. That which works for and upholds the Common Good will flourish; that which works against will wither away. Thus will the new forms and institutions fulfil the needs of all men.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The time is soon coming when the Common Weal will be the benchmark by which all actions are judged. Thus will be safeguarded the integrity of the new.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><br /></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Change</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Many are clamouring for change yet fear its advent, so influenced are their minds by established institutions and media. When Maitreya, soon, emerges, men will realize that the changes which He will advocate are for the betterment of all men, that no group need fear the future. Thus will the Great Lord work to unite the forces for Good, to invoke the latent Goodwill in all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Soon, Maitreya will begin His process of emergence, appearing before the people in many public broadcasts. Thus will He gain the interest and attention of the masses whose voices will call for His Declaration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Thus will the Teacher fulfil His pledge to return among men and to lead them into a new and higher light. Thus will it be, and thus will men begin again their journey to the stars. </span><br />

<div align="center" style="color: navy;">

<hr style="color: navy;" />
<span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">When mankind nears a moment of major crisis it reacts in one of two ways: either it falls into apathy, awaiting, fatalistically, the inevitable, or else it is galvanized into indiscriminate action and runs in all directions without sense or purpose. Today, at this time of change, it is the latter reaction which holds sway. Everywhere, men act as if the future no longer exists, as if they represent the ending of meaning and value on Earth. Greed has taken hold of their hearts and senses, and, as if in dream, they walk wild-eyed to the precipice.<br />
Thus it is that men approach the coming century: many in fear and most in doubt. They know nothing of the marvels which await mankind’s astonished eyes. They know less of the wonders which they, themselves, will one day perform. Ignorant and afraid, they grasp blindly at all that they can hold in greedy hands, thinking that thus they may be safe, and secure from future loss.<br />
</span></span><br />
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Harmony</span></b><br />
<div style="font-size: medium;">
While many live thus, there is a growing number who are awakening to a different view, who see the possibility of undreamed of harmony, and who resist both apathy and chaos. As yet, they are the minority, but soon the forces of chaos will succumb to their vision of justice and peace; a new world will be born from their fearless hold on life and creative action. These men and women of goodwill will challenge the old concepts of division and strife, and, stage by stage, will reconstruct the world. Thus will it be. Not alone but guided and inspired by Maitreya and His Brothers, this group of stout hearts will wax strong and influential, eagerly encouraged by the following masses.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
In a short time, major inroads will be made into solving the many problems which afflict mankind today: hunger and oppressive poverty and the denial of basic rights; destructive competition among the nations and environmental decay; ethnic bigotry and the army of refugees which results; above all, the scourge of war.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Solvable</span></b><br />
<div style="font-size: medium;">
When men realize that these problems are solvable naught will for long delay their ending. With a will, men will tackle them one by one, with growing understanding of the urgency and the means.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
Maitreya and His growing group of Masters will show the way, outline the possibilities and pitfalls, encourage and inspire. Men, themselves, will set in place the framework of the new world, born out of necessity, out of a longing for justice and peace, for the establishment of brotherhood and the rule of divine law.</div>

<div align="center" style="color: navy;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>by the Master –, through Benjamin Creme</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></span></div>
<hr style="color: navy;" />
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The importance of being alive at this time is that it provides to all the opportunity to serve the Plan and the planet as never before. No one, today, should feel excluded from this unique opportunity, however humble or restricted their circumstances --the planet belongs to all and the Plan involves all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">More and more, the planet's precarious state of imbalance, created by man's misuse, sounds a warning note which men ignore at their peril. The very breath by which men live is threatened, the air, polluted and poisoned, wreaks havoc on the lives of many millions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Into this crisis has come Maitreya. He knows the dangers better than any man. What can he do to help men save themselves from further suffering, and to restore the planet to full and vibrant health?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><br /></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Karmic Law</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Karmic Law controls the nature and the scope of the aid that he may give. Advice and guidance will be man's for the asking but men must be prepared to change the present modes of living to ensure the planet's future and the future of their children. The resources of the Earth are finite but with good husbandry and sharing, adequate for the needs of all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Men must, therefore, redefine these needs, and enter into a new and truer understanding of the meaning and the purpose of their lives. This will come when a measure, even, of sharing has replaced the present destructive competition, and led man away from the precipice edge. The choice is man's: to share and flourish, or to continue in deadly competition and together die.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">That men will choose the way of Life is not in doubt --the hearts of men, when tested, are found ever to be sound.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><br /></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>The Plan</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Thus will men be readied for the next phase of the Plan: the establishment of Right Human Relationships, the expression through men of the love nature of God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Many, today, doubt that such an ideal is capable of fulfillment, given the manifested selfishness and greed of humanity today. Nevertheless, We know that within the hearts of all men burns the same aspiration for Justice and Brotherhood, the same hope of ending the fear that underlies the selfishness and greed.</span></span><div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We, your elder brothers, have known that same greed, that same selfish desire and fear. That we have conquered is the guarantee that all men can do the same. We do not doubt. We <i>know</i> that man will rise to the test – and triumph.</span></div>

<hr style="color: navy;" />
<span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Increasingly, men are becoming aware that the 'age of miracles' has not ended but, on the contrary, waxes strong throughout the world. Recent manifestations have shaken to the core the complacent certainties of millions. Intensive media interest has guaranteed a world-wide audience for future miraculous events which will astonish, even more, believer and sceptic alike. The door has thus been opened through which Maitreya can emerge -- and be accepted as the force behind the miracles.<br /><br />Thus has been prepared a twofold approach to the hearts and minds of men: modern communications will ensure that the thoughts and words, the ideas and hopes, of Maitreya will reach millions in the privacy of their homes; while miraculous manifestations will engage the attention of countless millions more throughout the world. Already, the name of Maitreya is being linked to recent happenings in temples East and West.<br /><br /><b>Livingness</b><br /><br />Very soon, therefore, men can expect to hear that the Teacher awaited by all is, indeed, among us. That He lives, and presents His living teaching for the greater livingness of all. Soon, men will know that their long wait is over, that the world has been prepared for an event greater than the mind can contemplate; an event surpassing all in the long history of Earth.<br /><br />Never before, in the known history of man, have the Masters walked openly among men. For the first time in countless ages will They thus conduct Their myriad tasks of succour. In this way, a new link will be forged between the world of men and that of their Elder Brothers. Men will seek to emulate the qualities of these Perfected Ones, and through such inspiration and example, the evolution of the race will proceed apace. Thus will it be. Thus will the Guardians bring to bear Their knowledge and experience for the benefit of all.<br /><br /><b>Imminent</b><br /><br />Those engaged in the work of preparation may take courage from the recent world-wide miraculous events, for they presage the imminent appearance of Maitreya before men. Those who have worked to spread the knowledge of His presence will know that their efforts were not in vain; that the world needed their service; that they gave of their best in answer to their heart's call. They will know, too, that the thanks and love of Maitreya go with them all their days.<br /><br />Miracles abound, and will continue to astonish; the forlorn hopes of so-called scientists and experts will prove of no avail to discount the evidence of men's eyes. Turning their minds to the hope which these manifestations engender, men will connect them with the wise words of Maitreya, and follow His lead.</span><br />

<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Within the limits set by his present level of consciousness, man has created much. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his scientific achievements, his art, his engineering and architectural skills. Many geniuses have arisen to show the way, men and women dedicated to the task of enriching the culture of our time. Thus, as we stand on the threshold of the Aquarian experience, many new possibilities are opening up for man, calling him onwards to fulfil his potential — a divinity waiting to be revealed. Viewed from Our standpoint, this is but a beginning, a preparation for the creation of a civilization such as man has never known; a civilization which will not alone rival but far surpass the most brilliant of ancient times. Then, as We do now, the Masters led the way, but openly, known as the bestowers of knowledge and truth. The wheel has turned and We retrace Our steps.<br /><br /><b>The Elders</b><br /><br />Soon, the world will see the return to the world of the Elders of the race, the Knowers, the Sons of God. Prophecy has foretold Our advent and quickened the expectancy of the disciples, but many such sleep soundly, oblivious to the happenings of the time. There are many who await Our coming with aspiration but envisage it in a far future time. Know they not that Our hand knocks now upon the door? Awake, friends! Awake, workers for the good! We need all who would work with Us to transform the world. We need your aspiration, your joy. Your hope and trust We cherish. Make ready to see Us and to welcome Us into your lives.<br /><br />There is no need to fear Our return. We embody the Centre of Love. That is Our nature and invokes Our service. Know this to be so and fear not. We shall be with you as Elder Brothers, to show you the way. For long have We awaited this opportunity to serve you, counting the years till We can be among you. When you see Us you will know that the time of the end and of the beginning has come: the end of the old separation; the beginning of partnership.<br /><br /><b>Plan of Salvation</b><br /><br />There is now afoot a plan of salvation for the world. This involves the co-operation of all those who long to serve the world. To serve today is not difficult, for the means of service lie to hand and the Earth itself cries out for succour. Choose your field of service and endow it with ardour, knowing that as you do so your soul will equip you for the task. Know, too, that Our hand will strengthen yours and share the burden. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Certain it is that much needs changing; the tempo of that change will depend on you. We rely on your cooperation to carry out the details of the plan. Service calls the vanguard of the new civilization to build the foundations of tomorrow's better world. Take your places in that roll-call and aid Us in the work of salvage. Pass it not by when the hour has struck!</span><br />

<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">It will not be long before the Masters make known Their appearance in the world. With Their leader, the Lord Maitreya, They, too, have awaited the opportunity to emerge and to take Their places openly among men. For long have They known that this day would come; for long have They prepared Themselves for Their arduous task. Notwithstanding the completeness of Their evolution and understanding, it is no easy duty that They are called upon to perform. Not for nothing have They trained Themselves to work on the inner and the outer planes, for that simultaneous action is crucial to the externalization of Their service.<br /><br /><b>Experience</b><br /><br />We know that Our appearance will change the lot of men. We know that Our experience and wisdom will serve men well. We know and comprehend the enormity of the problems which await solution. We are not daunted but approach the new day with joy. Nevertheless, We recognize the necessity of men’s co-operation and trust. We know We cannot, under law, act alone. A new and closer relationship between men and Us will become the order of the day, and thus shall We forge a ladder of ascent by which means many, becoming ready, in due course will enter Our ranks. Thus shall it be.<br /><br />Not everyone who knows of Our existence expects Our imminent appearance. Caution and doubt prevail in the hearts of the learned and blind them to the truth. Soon, however, like all the world, they, too, will rejoice that the Masters have returned, that the Mentors are among men, that the Elder Brothers walk once more on the Earth. Together, We shall create the new forms and institutions to enable a better expression of that divinity which rests potential in all men. Together, We shall bring order from the present chaos and control the destruction which inspires the present anguish. Together, too, We shall enter deeply into the meaning of life, unfolding new capacities and insights.

<div align="center" style="color: navy;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">by the Master –, through Benjamin Creme</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div>

<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When men see Maitreya in full and open view, they will find much to admire: His grace and joy; His modest wisdom and all-inclusive love; His readiness to share all that He has and is with men of every station. His humility will astound, His knowledge, vast and deep beyond measuring, will reveal to men the paucity of their own. Thus will they turn to Him for guidance and, sure of His concern, become again the students and earnest seekers they once were. Thus will it be, and thus will the Great Lord present to men the Blueprint of the future. That future holds for men such wonders that few today could comprehend them.</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
Divine origin</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Imagine then a future where no man lacks for aught. Where the talents and creativity of all men demonstrate their divine origin. Where war has no place in their thoughts and where goodwill casts its benevolent net over the hearts and minds of all.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Imagine cities of light lit by Light Itself; nowhere to be found the squalor and deprivation of today; imagine transport, fast and silent, powered by light alone, the far-off worlds and even the stars brought within our reach. Such a future awaits the men and women who have the courage to share.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Such a future awaits those brave ones who love Freedom.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Such a glorious future awaits those who long to understand the meaning and purpose of life.</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
First priority</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Maitreya, too, awaits His opportunity to emerge and to begin, openly, His Mission. He, too, grows impatient with the long wait. But the Law rules all and Maitreya abides lovingly by its wisdom. Nevertheless, the time is very near when the Great Lord can emerge and speak directly to men. This being so, those whose task it is to prepare His way have but little time in which to do so. Make that then your <i>first priority</i>, leaving all else aside.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As always, the free will of men may not be jeopardized. Thus it is that His name will not accompany His first appearances, allowing men themselves to ascertain His worth. As a man among men will He appear, voicing aloud His brothers’ needs and thoughts.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In time, so many will respond that His true identity and stature can be confirmed. This time is expected to be short but the pace of recognition lies in the hands of men themselves. The present phase of miracles, now world-wide, will continue and accompany this process until no-one can deny its significance at this time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thus the world will be won over and prepared for change. Thus the call will go out from the people of all the nations for the Avatar to speak, and thus will Maitreya answer that call and declare His mission and purpose.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That silent declaration will announce the start of the New Era: of peace, of sharing, justice and freedom; the awakening of men to their divinity, and the creation by men of a civilization wrought in the form of God’s Plan. </span><br />

<span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Humanity today stands poised for a great leap into the future, a future in which man's essentially divine nature will demonstrate. Little though he may know this, man has passed and is passing the tests which will allow him, in full adulthood, to become the recipient of knowledge and powers with which to fashion the future.<br />
At present, only to the inner vision of the Guides of the Race may this reality be clear, but such it is, and portends well for the coming time. Wherever men may gather today, can be seen and felt a new urgency, a new sense of commitment to the well-being of the planet and its kingdoms.<br />
Only now, after aeons spent in the struggle for existence and progress, can man be said to have reached maturity, a maturity discernible to Us, albeit well hidden from man himself.<br />
The opportunity arises now for a major advance in human progress, outstripping by far, in speed and accomplishment, all previous advances. Whereas, until now, a slow and steady progress was desirable, and even preferable, a new dynamic rhythm is being created whose momentum will sweep humanity into the future on a wave of global change. So great are the tensions in today's divided world that only a rapid change of direction will prevent catastrophe. This rapid change, there is no doubt, will present problems of adjustment to many, but many more, by far, will welcome these changes as the opportunity for new life.<br />
We, the Toilers behind the scenes, have every confidence that humanity will set in motion this radical transformation of its structures. They no longer serve man's needs and block the emergence of the new. We watch and guide, overseeing all.<br />
Little by little, a new consciousness is awakening humanity to its inner needs. The old, competitive spirit dies hard, but nevertheless a new spirit of Cooperation is likewise to be seen. This augurs well for the future, for it is by Cooperation alone that mankind will survive; by Cooperation alone that the new civilization will be built; by Cooperation only that men can know and demonstrate the inner truth of their divinity.<br />
Cooperation is the natural result of right relationship. Right relationship likewise follows wise Cooperation. Cooperation holds the key to all successful group effort and is a manifestation of divine goodwill. Without Cooperation nothing lasting can be achieved, for Cooperation brings into synthesis many diverse points of view.<br />
Cooperation is another word for Unity. Unity and Cooperation are the springboards to the future and the guarantee of achievement for all men. Great reservoirs of power lie untapped within humanity, waiting for the magic of Cooperation to unleash.<br />
Competition strains the natural order; Cooperation liberates the goodwill in men. Competition cares only for the self, whereas Cooperation seeks to blend and fuse the many-coloured strands of the one divine life.<br />
Competition has led man to the precipice; Cooperation alone will help him find the path.<br />
The old and backward-looking love competition; the new embrace with joy divine Cooperation.<br />
The people of the world can be divided into two kinds; those who compete, and those who co-operate.<br />
Cleanse the heart of the stain of competition; open the heart to joyful Cooperation.</span><br />

<h3 style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">
<strong style="font-size: 13px;">by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme, 8 September 2011</strong></h3>
<div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
From time to time, there appears among men a figure who embodies the best, or the worst, that men can show. These individuals become the most loved or the most hated of men. In either case, they usually draw to themselves many followers or devotees. Such figures have enormous magnetic appeal for the majority of men or, on occasion, are an inspiring example of destructive power on a large scale. The history books are full of examples of both types.</div>
<div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Today, in large numbers, many examples of both types are manifesting worldwide. The effect of this manifestation is to set before humanity two opposing lines of action, and so create the tension of choice which will determine the future of the race. In biblical terms this is the ‘Sword of Cleavage’. For many years the energies emanating from, and directed by Maitreya have sought to create such confrontation of opposites. This may seem strange indeed to many people but it is essential that humanity make the correct choices for its future. Otherwise that future would be bleak indeed.</div>
<div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
The Sword of Cleavage is the energy we call Love: wielded by Maitreya it sets “brother against brother” and tests the true divine consciousness of men everywhere. The ultimate aim of all evolution is to establish on Earth the ‘Kingdom of God’, and the Sword of Cleavage shows men the way.</div>
<div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
The teaching of Maitreya is simple. One might think that His priorities would seem obvious to all men; sadly this is not the case. Maitreya presents a future of tranquillity and peaceful endeavour as the inevitable result of sharing and justice for all, the creation of a world “where no man lacks, where no two days are alike, where the Joy of Brotherhood manifests through all men”. How is it possible, you might think, to gainsay such a message of hope? Is this not the future yearned for by everyone? It is the future hoped for by the majority of men, but not by all. Humanity stands on different rungs of the evolutionary ladder; above a certain level all bodes well for men. It is those who have not as yet manifested that measure of their divine Self who do not recognize that sharing is divine, that justice and right relationship are divine, but who see Divinity as competition and conflict, and register a man’s worth by the weight of his gold.</div>
<div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Many are fearful and suffering; bereft of work and hope for the future, they struggle from day to day. But many others are making their future for themselves, and many, too, are dying in the process. Throughout the world men are awakening to the possibility of a better life with freedom and justice at its heart. Have no fear, the people’s voice is rising and like a contagion affecting more and more. Maitreya stands behind those who live – and die – for the truth of freedom, justice and the unity of man. The young lead the way, and the future is for them.</div>

He explained: “These will include sightings, in unprecedented numbers, of spacecraft from our neighbouring planets, Mars and Venus in particular. Nothing like this increased activity, over vast areas of the Earth, will have been seen before…. The minds of men will be baffled and amazed by these wonders, and this will cause them to ponder deeply.”</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">This year, 2011, has seen increasing numbers of UFOs reported all over the world, including some extraordinary mass sightings. Media are reporting the phenomenon more seriously and many governments are gradually releasing their secret UFO documents. With video-making technology now available to the masses – mobile phones and video cameras – the people are leading the way in filming UFO sightings and posting them on the internet. This new development has allowed people to broadcast their films to a huge audience, and has encouraged more media channels to report and investigate the sightings.</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">In just two weeks of August 2011 the following mass UFO sightings were reported from four parts of the world: </div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;"><br />

He filmed the “white orbs” for about 15 minutes, until they finally moved out of range of his camcorder.</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">“They range from – when I first saw them – in colour from white, orange and red, and now they’re pretty much white,” the video narration says. He films and describes the movement of individual objects within the mass of objects: “They keep grouping and spreading out and changing formations … Why would balloons group in formations? they’re making V-formations, they breaking apart, they’re changing directions…. I think the bigger ones are co-ordinators … I can’t explain it. I mean, why are they grouping in triangle formations, and then lining up, and separating, then pulling back, then going wide. You can’t tell me it’s just the air randomly blowing them in a new formation or a triangle formation.” (Source: YouTube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwGk2gaGHQI" style="color: navy;" target="_blank">njorgensen1154</a>)</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;"><em>(Benjamin Creme’s Master confirms that the ‘white orbs’ were spacecraft from Mars and Venus.)</em></div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;"><br />

The Korean television channel MBC covered the sighting in its news bulletin, with eyewitness interviews and excerpts from the many phone cameras and videos recording the event. Witnesses described dozens of very bright objects travelling north-eastward in formation. “I saw some bright things at the edge of clouds in the sky, which I first thought was very interesting. But then, 30 minutes later, they started to move,” said one observer. “There were about 20 objects in the sky.”</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">The MBC news coverage included Professor Maeng Seong-ryeol, professor at Woosuk University and president of the Korean UFO Research Center, who said that this was probably the first time that this type of bright, moving UFO had been captured on camera in Korea. “Given the brightness of the objects, taken by a mobile phone, they are highly likely to be the sightings of UFOs,” said UFO investigator Seo Jong-han. “It is almost impossible for flying lamps to be as bright as that at night, as some people suspect.” A phone call to the news desk from a Korean Air Force spokesperson confirmed that there were no flights at the time, and nothing detected on radar.</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">MBC’s narrator added that enlarged pictures of the objects confirmed that they emitted irregular patterns of flashes, as if they were swirling. “Considering the steady formation and frequent changes in flight distance, the features distinct from conventional aeroplanes,” the narrator added, “the analysis suggests that there is a high likelihood that the objects are UFOs.” (Source: examiner.com; YouTube:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/UFOglobalRC#p/u/18/jGDyCSPAfQg" style="color: navy;" target="_blank">UFOglobalRC</a>)</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;"><em>(Benjamin Creme’s Master confirms that they are spacecraft from Mars.)</em></div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px;"><br />

The UFO sighting, which lasted for several minutes, took place above Kazan Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan (the Lady of Kazan is probably the most venerated icon in Russia).

<br />
The light phenomenon known as the ‘Buddha’s Light’ appeared in June 2011 above the Yuntai temple on Yuntai Mountain outside Chongqing City, in Sichuan Province, China. Glowing with seven different colours, the circle of the “Buddha’s Light” appeared in the west while the sun was still rising in the east, and lasted about half-an-hour.<br />
<br />
“With the emergence of sunshine after the rain, some friends invited me together with a tai chi instructor to take pictures on Yuntai Mountain,” Puti Wushu writes in his blog. “Upon our arrival at the Yuantong Hall of Yuntai Temple, we witnessed one circle of mystical Buddha light which had not been seen for ages. All of us felt great joy to see the sight. Astoundingly, in the center of the Buddha light was a human shadow.”<br />
<br />
“Though five or six of us stood in a line, each of us just saw our own single shadow. At first we found it hard to believe. Then one of us waved his arms with the rest remaining still. What he saw and what he photographed was only his own shadow with his arms waving. Meanwhile, what the rest of us snapped was our single fixed shadow in the center of the Buddha light.”<br />
<br />
‘Buddha’s Light’ is considered to be a ‘glory’ – an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is believed to arise when light rays enter water droplets at opposite points and then undergo internal reflection. The first recorded example in China was on Mt Emei in AD 63. When the individual viewer always sees his or her own reflection in the image, it is regarded as a sign of personal enlightenment and the Buddha’s blessing. (Source: chinauncensored.com)<br />

Political, economic, social, environmental conditions are filled with problems which test the resources of all the countries to the limit. Even those countries which seem to be economically dominant at the present time have problems which deny them the ease their wealth implies. What is preventing the nations from achieving a degree of balance and well-being? Why do even old, rich and experienced nations plunge suddenly into chaos and strife? Why the pain and struggle for so many; what prevents a greater sense, and expression, of unity?</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;">The answers to these questions are many and varied, but the single inclusive factor is the time, the moment in this Earth’s history, in which they are being asked.</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;"><br />
</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;"><strong>None other</strong></div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;">This time is like none other in the history of the world. The changes taking place are momentous, beyond human comprehension, and will alter life, as we now know it, profoundly and for ever.</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;">On every plane these changes are taking place, some slowly, even in the very fabric of the Earth’s crust; others in a growing momentum which challenges men’s capacity for correct response.</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;">Useless, in this context, are the tired ideas of backward-looking politicians, steeped in the glamours of position and power. Today, it is the people who are ahead of their leaders, and are voicing aloud their understanding and needs. In country after country, the voice of the people is becoming more focused and distinct. Millions are now educated and sure of their needs: peace, work and hope for their future. A growing sense of unity, too, is beginning to inform their expectations and demands. They know they are not alone in the world but have millions of brothers and sisters everywhere, with the same problems and needs.</div><div align="LEFT" lang="en-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;">In this way, even if unaware of His presence and teachings, they are responding to Maitreya’s energy and influence, and building the framework of the future.</div><div class="main-text" style="color: navy; display: block; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Source: <a href="http://share-international.org/magazine/old_issues/2011/2011-09.htm#Mestari">Share International</a> </div>science of life-art of livinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08796946877179045435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012053658344710845.post-66978117976731927102011-09-26T05:31:00.000-07:002011-09-26T05:31:44.196-07:00The Art of Self-Realization, Part 1 – a compilation<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ffffcc; color: navy; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">An Excerpt</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><em>We present a selection of quotations on the theme of the Art of Self-Realization from Maitreya (<strong>Messages from Maitreya the Christ</strong></em><em>, and<strong>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</strong></em><em>), Benjamin Creme’s Master (<strong>A Master Speaks</strong></em><em>), and Benjamin Creme’s writings.</em></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“Be what you are. Do not follow one another. If you practise honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit and detachment, you will know your Self, you will know Me, you will know the Lord.” (<em>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Maitreya says He has come to teach humanity the art of Self or God-realization. He equates humanity with the Self, and the Self with God. He says: “You are the Self, an immortal Being.” Our pain, He says, our suffering, our problems, are the result of the fact that we identify with everything and anything other than the Self, the immortal Being of which we are a physical-plane reflection. He says: “Ask yourself: ‘Who am I?’” You will find that you identify with the physical body. We look in the mirror and say: “That is me.” In this way we are subject to all the limitations of the physical body. The physical body is mortal; it lives so long and then it dies, and we have to come back into incarnation in a new body. So we cannot be the physical body, it is only a vehicle.<br />
Or we identify with our feelings, our sensations, our energies, our emotions. These are not us: they were not there yesterday, perhaps they will not be there tomorrow. They are unstable, never the same. If we are an immortal Being, they cannot be us. Or we identify with our mind, with the creations of our mind, our memory. We think we are Mr or Mrs So-and-so, with so many children. That is not us, that is our memory, the creation of our mind. We say we are Christian, Hindu, Muslim, or Buddhist. That is not us. That is a belief, an ideology. We are an immortal Being and therefore not subject to the limitations of the physical body, the emotional body, or the mind. We are not a fascist, a democrat, a Christian, or a Buddhist. These are all constructions of the mind. We are, above all these transient beliefs, an immortal Being.<br />
How do we become that immortal Being here and now on the physical plane? Maitreya says His way is the most direct, the way of growing awareness. It involves the practice of three attitudes. One, honesty of mind. Almost no one has honesty of mind. It is not just being honest and not stealing other people’s property. All of us think one thing, say something else, and do something else again. For honesty of mind, what we think, what we say, and what we do must be in a straight line. Two, sincerity of spirit – being who we are, distinct and individual. Not trying to be like somebody else, not imitating other people, but speaking from the heart to the heart. Not speaking to provide others with some false idea of ourselves, manipulating them so that they admire or like us. It is being honest in oneself, sincere. Few people are truly, inwardly sincere. The third attitude to practise is detachment. Detachment is the awareness that we are not the body, the feelings, or the mind – gradually detaching ourselves from that kind of identification. If we are attached to our emotions, for example, and someone plays a dirty trick on us, if our reaction is one of strong indignation and anger, then we are not detached. If we are detached, we will not react with indignation and anger at such a slight.<br />
What we find in practice is that these three attitudes are mutually supportive. The more aware we become, the more honest we become, the more sincere. The more sincere we become, the more honest we manage to be. The more sincere and honest we become, the more detached we become. The more detached we become, the more sincere and the more honest. These three work together, like a yeast.<br />
When Maitreya is teaching openly in the world, has declared Himself and begun His programme of stimulus and guidance in the political and economic field, He will also teach humanity the Art of Self-realization. The more we practise these three attitudes, the greater Self-awareness develops. The more Self-awareness develops, the more Self-realization becomes possible. Self-awareness leads to Self-realization. What is Self-realization? It is not a religion, an ideology, or a belief. It is the goal of life, which, when achieved, makes us a Master. All of the Masters are Self-Realized Beings. (Benjamin Creme, <em>Maitreya’s Mission Volume Three</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“Your destiny is freedom. No one is ‘born in sin’. Rather, the Self is subject to conditioning during the process of evolution. The process of evolution is the Becoming.<br />
“If you follow the three principles of honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit and detachment, evolution proceeds naturally. Your ‘second nature’ is conditioned nature, but practice of the three principles will free you from conditioning. No one is ‘condemned’ to conditioning.<br />
“Please do not presume things. This amounts to ‘a soft landing’ which satisfies the mind. Isms are like small pills that give the mind little breaks in life. Mind, spirit and body feel a bit ‘high’, a bit happy. But the realities of life can never be comprehended via isms. They can only be experienced. Experience and vision go together.” (<em>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Most people think one thing, say something else, and do something else again. There is no direct line from their thoughts to their actions. This leads to confusion and destructiveness. This is not honesty of mind. Honesty of mind leads to honest speech and honest action. Peace and happiness can be achieved through this harmony.<br />
Sincerity of spirit means not imitating other people, not pretending, not trying to appear different from what you are. Sincerity of spirit is not taking on somebody else’s ‘garments’, not imitating your favourite film or pop star. It is simply being yourself.<br />
If you are an artist, musician, writer or poet, the most interesting thing you can be is you, not somebody else through you. Imitation in art and music is looked down upon. Imitation in life is somehow not looked down upon, but it is just as important. Art, music or literary expression are part of the life expression. This is certainly as valuable and personal, and has to be as original, as you yourself are. Each person is unique. You have to give expression to that uniqueness. That doesn’t mean you have to do everything contrary to what is normally known and accepted, but it does mean you have to be yourself.<br />
When you see Maitreya you will find He speaks directly from His heart to your heart. Your heart centre will resonate in response to what He has to say. It will seem so pure, so absolutely, essentially, true. You will have no difficulty in accepting what He says because it will penetrate to the very core of your being. That is why it is expected that once He speaks openly to the world it will not be long before the Day of Declaration occurs. (Benjamin Creme, <em>The Great Approach</em>)</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“You have been given mind, spirit and body,” says Maitreya, “to express My Being and Becoming in thought, speech and action.” Any action performed with dishonesty of mind, an insincere spirit and attachment is destructive. For example, 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,” He counsels, “you can begin right now.” But, people have asked, “How do we begin? How do we practise sincerity?” Consider an expression which is often used, such as ‘having a heart-to-heart talk’ with someone, Maitreya responds. What does this mean? It means you will express yourself as you really are, you will communicate from the centre – your centre – the Self. Practise this. It will transform you and those around you. The heart is never tarnished or touched; it is the seat of the soul. It is the mind that leads us astray. Peace, bliss, happiness and grace are the qualities of the heart. “By tuning into the ‘feelings of the heart’,” Maitreya teaches, “you are able to experience your natural innocence, that innocence you had as a child. Do not ‘visualize’ the heart. For that is only the mind seeking to find the source of light with a torch.” (Maitreya, <em>Maitreya’s Mission Volume Two</em>)</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To be honest, sincere and detached is to experience oneness with God. But so often this oneness is interpreted by people as loneliness and something to be feared. Yet the feeling of loneliness is the supreme blessing in disguise because it shows that a person is approaching oneness with the Lord. (<em>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That Self is an immortal spiritual Being. It reflects itself as a human soul, which in turn reflects itself at this level as the human personality. The path of evolution is the reuniting of the personality with the soul, and the soul/personality together with the Spark of God, the Divine Self. The more detached you become, the more these things can take place. Maitreya says: “When you are detached all becomes possible. Where you are attached you cannot know Me. There I cannot be. But where you are detached there I am always with you.”<br />
These three, honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit, and detachment, if practised seriously and consistently, together with the Prayer for the New Age, can bring a person quickly to an understanding and experience of him or herself in a new way: a new freedom, spontaneity and directness, and a growing absence of fear and conflict will gradually make their presence felt. (Benjamin Creme, <em>The Great Approach</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Detachment is detaching yourself from identifying with yourself as body, mind or spirit. It is not saying to yourself: “I mustn’t feel emotions.” Many people suppress their emotions. To suppress your emotions is just as bad as indulging your emotions. What you have to learn to do is to look at your emotions and not indulge them and not suppress them either. Not repress them but simply look at them, not identify with them; and if you do not identify with them you detach from them. It is like creating a space between you and them. Most people immediately identify with their emotion, whatever it is. They have done so all their lives and so they take it for granted. They feel every negative emotion and they think it is their right to experience them. In fact some people think it is their duty; and I suspect many psychologists tell their patients that it is their duty to ‘emote’. The point is you have to be detached, not by detaching from life but to be very aware, to look very seriously at what is happening but not to identify with it. This is difficult because it needs a degree of detachment to do it – you have to be there before you can get there! But it takes just a little space to create a bigger space. The best way I can think of is to study Krishnamurti. If you put into practice what you read as you are reading, you create that space. Look at what you are feeling, allow yourself to feel it but do not indulge it and do not suppress it or try to get rid of it. If you fight it, it is like the trials of Hercules: every time he cut off the Hydra’s head two grew in its place. That is what comes from repression. What you have to do is to lift it up, as he did, finally, into the light of day (the light of the soul), and the Hydra died of its own accord. Simply look at the feeling and say: “That is not me. It wasn’t there yesterday, it won’t be there tomorrow, it is not me,” and it will go away. Every time you do this you weaken it. You withdraw nourishment. Every time you identify with anything, your energy nourishes it. Whatever you focus on, your energy will flow to it and you will strengthen the emotion. You have to reverse the process and the emotion will die a natural death through lack of nourishment. Detachment is the way to bring about the honesty of mind and the sincerity of spirit which Maitreya teaches. (Benjamin Creme, <em>Maitreya’s Mission Volume Two</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If you follow others instead of being yourself, you lose your sparkle; you cannot reflect the light of individuality. Without that light, there is no progress in life. Similarly, when you experience the Self within and come to know you are an immortal entity, completely separate from mind, spirit and body, you learn to use these temples of the Lord creatively, with awareness. Processes of healing follow automatically.<br />
This is why Maitreya has said that even people with AIDS will be healed through prayer and through the practice of honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit and detachment.<br />
Without detachment there is no salvation. (<em>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</em>)<br />
….</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The task ahead is clear: open the windows of the soul and let the soul’s light illumine your lives. Through the awakened intuition allow the soul’s knowledge and purpose to be expressed. Know the meaning of compassion and spread that love abroad. Allow your soul’s wisdom to banish all illusion and become a light for your brothers. That is the task of all who would tread the Path of Light. Awaken the intuition and see clearly the Plan; awaken the intuition and dissolve the darkness; awaken the intuition and cast out all fear. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘Reason and Intuition’)</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nothing belongs to you. Everything belongs to the Lord. If you are honest with yourself, you are honest with the Lord. If you are sincere with yourself, you are sincere with the Lord. (<em>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“The Self is endless. Awareness is endless. Mind, spirit and body have a beginning and an end. With detachment, the Self experiences phenomena in mind, spirit and body, but it does not get attached to the miraculous powers of which mind, spirit and body are capable.<br />
The laws of creation are in the mind. The universal energy is in the spirit and the forum for the materialization of the creation is the physical body. In effect, when the Self observes God’s powers it is detachment which saves the Self from imprisonment in the bondages of life.<br />
Detachment is the most powerful ‘drug’. It becomes so effective that it immunizes the Self from the processes and proceedings of mind, spirit and body. To learn detachment is an art. A scientist, with detachment, will learn the laws of physics and chemistry (the laws of creation) and will apply them, creating things which constitute God’s work. The artist, with detachment, will be able to describe God through his own experiences.<br />
The destiny of one and all is to be, one day, free of mind, spirit and body. This in itself becomes salvation.” (<em>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</em>)<strong></strong></span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Stage by stage, century following century, man will build a civilization which will demonstrate his growing manifestation of divinity; a culture in which the beauty of the divine creation will be expressed in all its aspects, a mirror in which the Divine Idea will be reflected in all its glory.<br />
Thus will man take his true place in the scheme of things under the Divine Plan. Thus, under the inspiration of the Christ, will he transform this world – separated by fear, dogma and hate – into that in which the Law of Love governs, in which all men are brothers, in which all that pertains to the divine nature engages man’s attention and controls his life. Thus will man’s dreams of divinity be realized, his potential be achieved, his destiny fulfilled. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The new civilization’)</span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Prayer for the New Age</strong></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am the creator of the universe.<br />
I am the father and mother of the universe.<br />
Everything comes from me.<br />
Everything shall return to me.<br />
Mind, spirit and body are my temples,<br />
For the Self to realize in them<br />
My supreme Being and Becoming.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Benjamin Creme writes: The Prayer for the New Age, given by Maitreya, the World Teacher, is a great mantram or affirmation with an invocative effect. It will be a powerful tool in the recognition by us that man and God are One, that there is no separation. The ‘I’ is the Divine Principle behind all creation. The Self emanates from, and is identical to, the Divine Principle.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The most effective way to use this mantram is to say or think the words with focused will, while holding the attention at the ajna centre between the eyebrows. When the mind grasps the meaning of the concepts, and simultaneously the will is brought to bear, those concepts will be activated and the mantram will work. If it is said seriously every day, there will grow inside you a realization of your true Self. (<em>Maitreya’s Teachings – The Laws of Life</em></span><br />

In a tiny church in Knoxville, Tennessee, they seemed to be 30 or 40 feet high. Weeks before the first one appeared, Benjamin Creme announced that Maitreya was going to amaze the world through a highly unusual light phenomenon.</td></tr>

First cross of light</strong>The first cross of light appeared in 1988. "Last weekend," the <em>Pasadena Star News</em> wrote on 27 May, "residents reported seeing a cross shining through a bathroom window of an apartment in El Monte." Eye-witness Mona LaVine stated she saw: "A cross of a pale golden light -- and simply beautiful." Margaret Romero, owner of the place, had the glass replaced by a neighbor’s window, but the cross kept shining. Within days, 12 more crosses appeared around the Los Angeles area.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.share-international.org/background/miracles/MI_crosses.htm#top" style="color: navy;" target="_self"></a></span><strong>2. White and gold light </strong>Two years later, four foot-tall crosses of white and gold light appeared suddenly in the bathroom window of a 61-year-old pipefitter living in a suburb of New Orleans.<br />
<strong>3. No hocus-pocus</strong><img align="right" alt="Cross in the Philippines" height="200" hspace="3" src="http://www.share-international.org/images/cross6.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" width="134" />In 1991, the crosses reached the Philippines. Reporters of <em>Newsday Philippines</em> got hold of a piece of glass with such a cross of light. News editor Julian V. Cruz wrote: "It was mid-afternoon. With a score of neon lights on and sunlight streaming through two windows, there could be no occasion for hocus-pocus. The piece of glass was set up on its box like a picture frame. It looked exactly like any other piece of frosted glass, almost opaque, one could not see through. A flashlight was pointed at it and switched on and there appeared this even-armed cross of light seemingly within a diamond-shaped aura. Somebody placed another switched-on flashlight beside the first and two crosses appeared. The flashlights were switched off. The crosses disappeared. They were switched on again, the crosses reappeared. The usually boisterous newsroom was silent. The phenomenon was awe-inspiring, or, at the very least, intriguing."<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.share-international.org/background/miracles/MI_crosses.htm#top" style="color: navy;" target="_self"></a></span><br />
<strong>4.

When the negative was developed, the image of a hand showed up in the glass.<br />
<strong>5. "It’s another life for me"</strong>Video producer Frances Robinson made a documentary on the phenomenon. Her account:<br />
"Most of the people we have interviewed are very devout, and most of them are quite poor. Typical was the family of Magdalena and Paulo Robledo, who have five children and live in a tiny two-bedroom home. There are regular weekly prayer meetings now in the Robledo's little house at which the participants pray for Christ to appear to them. Those who attend say they feel the spirit strongly in the room."<br />
"Laura, a teenager who had tried to commit suicide and had been a real problem to her family, came to see the Robledo's cross. "I feel like another person," she said later. "It’s another life for me. I’ve changed... I used to be a real meany to everyone... Now I want to help everyone. I believe in myself and I have hope."<br />

Three of them were glowing in white and one in gold. Some saw a red cross floating past the others.<br />

<strong>8. New Zealand</strong>As a result of Benjamin Creme’s visit to Auckland, New Zealand, in February 1994, crosses of light appeared in three windows of the house in which he stayed.<br />
<strong>9. "Sign of the Second Coming</strong>"<br />

"A lot of people think it’s a message God is trying to send us because we’re in the last days," said Mrs Alvarez. According to the article, the family said a priest told them the cross was a sign of the Second Coming.<br />

<strong>10. Forty feet high</strong><img align="right" alt="Copper Ridge baptist church" height="148" hspace="5" src="http://www.share-international.org/images/copper.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" width="219" />"I can’t get the hair on the back of my neck to do anything but stick straight out these days. The crosses are indeed in the windows at the Copper Ridge Baptist Church. That is a fact. It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not...," wrote columnist Bob Hurley of <em>The Greenville (Tennessee) Sun, </em>reporting on the gigantic crosses of light which had appeared in Knoxville, Tennessee in and outside the tiny church of Reverend Joe Bullard<em>.</em><br />
It all started one evening in early November 1995, when Joe and his wife Mildred noticed a radiant white light seeming to surround the entire building. A couple of days later, on 8 November, Joe Bullard was addressing his congregation. While he stood talking, a bright white light appeared on one side of the church. On further inspection the light was found to be in the shape of a large cross. Bullard's reaction, and that of the thousands of people who later came to see the crosses, was "unbelievable!"<br />
Reaching a height of some 40 feet, the crosses could be seen in all the church windows. Children and adults alike were glowing with joy at the phenomena they experienced there.<br />
Scores of people told Reverend Bullard they were being healed emotionally, spiritually and, sometimes, physically when they saw the crosses. A deliriously happy Joan Anderson told the <em>Kokomo Perspective</em> newspaper in October 1996 that she had an inoperable brain tumor, went to Knoxville more or less by chance, knew nothing of the supposed healings, and realized the following day that her headache had gone -- and, the doctors soon discovered, so had the tumor.<br />
[Note: The church has now changed its name and minister. Sadly, the crosses of light are no longer available for public viewing.]<br />

<hr /><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Janez Ferjancic: Before you were engaged in the Reappearance work you were connected with UFOs in the 1950s. You knew George Adamski personally. Could you explain how it all started, and what were your experiences with UFOs?</span></i></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Benjamin Creme: I first read about UFOs in <i>Flying Saucers have Landed</i>, a book in which George Adamski wrote, in the last chapter, his experience of meeting a Venusian in the Arizona desert. The book itself was not by Adamski but by an Englishman, Desmond Leslie. It was the history of flying saucers over many ages, in different parts of the world. It was research — historical, speculative to some degree, and it finished with Adamski’s actual experience.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Next I read <i>Inside the Spaceships</i> by Adamski, in which he was taken up in a spaceship, a saucer, onto what is called a mothership. This mothership was Venusian, and he had long conversations with the Venusian Master who, I think, was the Master of the ship, the chief person on board. In any case He was a Venusian Master.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">These were very interesting conversations, and so for me the UFO phenomenon was more to do with the purpose, the meaning behind the flying saucers as they were called, than the phenomenon itself. The fact that people from other planets — some people think other solar systems but my information is that they come from other planets of our system — were concerned enough to visit this planet was interesting, but the nature of their concern was much more interesting. Their concern was that we should not destroy ourselves. That we should change our way of life, our way of organizing our world, not to destroy the world from an ecological point of view, and not to destroy each other in a war using nuclear weapons. It was a philosophical, spiritual discourse which he had with the Venusian Master, and that is what really impressed me about the book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">When I first heard about UFOs it was in 1947 or 1948, perhaps 1945, when a few reports appeared in our newspapers that a passenger plane had come close to what we call UFOs. The pilot would report it, the people in the plane would see it happening. They would see these round, disk-shaped objects, sometimes quite close to the aircraft, flying alongside, either one or many. It happened quite frequently but not every day — or rather you did not hear about it every day. These reports were spaced out over a period of time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="center"><table border="0" style="width: 364px;"><tbody>
<tr><td width="358"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> <img border="0" height="219" src="http://www.share-international.org/archives/images/ufo-voronezj.jpg" width="311" /> </span></td></tr>
<tr><td width="358"><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><b>UFO over Voronezj, Russia</b></span></div></td></tr>
</tbody></table></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The first time I heard or read anything about them, before I read the Adamski book, I believed they were probably either American or Russian special planes that they were experimenting with, which were built on an entirely different system, not like normal airplanes; they were round, saucer shaped, and so we called them flying saucers. I thought at first that they were secret planes, experimental flying objects of Russia or America, or both, until I read the Adamski book, and then it became clear that there was something else going on, that they were perhaps from elsewhere.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Then, in the beginning of January 1959, I was contacted by one of the Masters of our Spiritual Hierarchy and my work began — I have talked and written about it elsewhere. The work was with the Space Brothers, the people using the UFOs, and my Master acted as the liaison between us, so to speak. To me, the two became identified; the fact of having read Adamski left me very open to the possibility, although I had not thought very much about it. But I was immediately introduced to the flying phenomena and I was part of a group, of which Adamski was one, which met only out of the body. To the outer world, we worked secretly, but to ourselves there was no secret — we recognized each other and we were part of a committee and did certain work which was assigned to us which was all to do with the UFO phenomenon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">In my experience, what we call UFOs, the flying saucers, come from the planets of our own system. Not from the Pleiades, or Sirius or somewhere outside our solar system, but from, mainly, Mars and Venus. A few other planets like Jupiter and Mercury are involved, but the vast majority of sightings of the UFOs come from Mars and Venus. Practically all of them are made on Mars, even the Venusian ones. They are Venusian in design, and they are quite distinct, different in design and technology, but they are actually constructed on Mars. And they are all constructed by thought.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The people in physical bodies on Mars and Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and so on are not at the same level or vibration of physicality that we experience. We know only three aspects of the physical: solid physical, liquid physical and gaseous physical. Above gas there are still four further levels of physical matter which so far have not been discovered on this planet. When they are discovered we will understand a great deal more about the nature and origin of disease, the purpose of life on this planet and of the reality of life on other planets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The beings on Mars and Venus and the other planets are on the four higher levels of the physical. If you went to Mars or Venus you would see no one, but nevertheless they are in physical matter, and have bodies made of that subtle, finer physical matter to which we give the term ‘etheric’. We ourselves have bodies of dense physical, liquid physical, gaseous physical and the four etheric physical planes — but we have not yet discovered the latter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">They have been demonstrated to exist by the great scientist and psychologist Wilhelm Reich, who was a colleague and one-time assistant of Freud. He died in an American prison in 1957. He was arrested for purporting to treat diseases with instruments which he claimed (correctly) attracted matter from the etheric planes, which he called orgone energy. He saw it as one vast plane of orgone energy, which he saw, rightly, as being everywhere in the universe, substanding the outer solid physical plane. Esotericists understand the etheric plane as four planes, becoming finer and finer as they go higher. The fourth etheric is just above gas, and is invisible unless you have etheric vision. The reality of this etheric energy, of what he called “orgone energy”, was demonstrated palpably by Wilhelm Reich in various simple experiments. Nevertheless, he was arrested because he used instruments which he called the “orgone accumulator”, boxes which accumulated the etheric energy of some levels, usually the two lower levels, the fourth and the third etheric, to treat diseases including cancer and various other diseases. In America that was deemed illegal. The Food and Drug Administration arrested him, refused to allow him to prove his work, and he died in prison.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Unless one understands the reality of the etheric levels of energy as finer, subtler, levels of matter, one cannot begin to understand the UFO phenomenon, and one cannot understand the creation of crop circles — because they are all related. The crop circles are created by people, mainly from Mars and Venus, with a few exceptions from other planets. The vast majority of them are Martian, some Venusian, and they are all over the world. Crop circles are mainly in the south of England, but they have been seen in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Peru — all over the world to a greater or lesser degree. Our planet, like all planets, has a magnetic field; its magnetic energy travels in lines and criss-crosses, and where these lines cross is formed, eventually, a vortex, a force centre. The space people, in making the crop circles, are replicating on the dense-physical plane these magnetic vortices in our planetary magnetic field. So there is the planetary magnetic field on its own level, and then a physical plane counterpart of that, which is being replicated by the space people who are manning the UFOs, and creating the crop circles.</span><br />

It is a gift for this coming time, the New Age which we are entering, which we call the Age of Aquarius, a time in which tremendous new discoveries in the use of the energy of the planet and of the sun will be found and adapted. This will entirely change our way of life on this planet, and will lead to a control of universal energy such as we cannot begin to imagine.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">In the next 2,500 years we will reach a stage where we can travel around our solar system at will, and out into the galaxy, exploring first our own solar system and then the vast galactic area, using energy which does not work within the time/space reality. So that distance is annihilated, time is annihilated. People think that if you are going to send something into the galaxy, it will take hundreds of years, the people would die before they could reach anywhere that was worth going to, and they would never return. It is not true. People come from Mars and Venus, which are not so far away, but they are still a long way away by our reckoning of distance, but they come here in minutes. It does not take time, once you understand that time does not exist and that the space which you thought you have to cover to get from one place to another does not exist either, and in minutes you can travel vast distances in space.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Why did they choose crops for showing these patterns?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: Crop circles are used because they are seasonal. You only have crops for a short time in the summer and autumn, and then they are cut down, and you do not see the crop circles. Then they will grow up again next year, and the crop circles appear in the same places, because they are recreated each time in the exact same point, so that the energy is put in that field, or whatever. If put where all the energy is put, crop circles would be, literally, all over the world, including in the sea, on mountains and in rocks where nothing is growing. They are allowed to be seen, made real as a crop circle, as designs in corn, because it is seasonal; then it is cut down. This is a tangential way, without infringing our free will, of telling the people of Earth that the Space Brothers, as I call them, the people from other planets like Mars and Venus, are here, are part of a system, and they work in a systemic way, not just as separate planets. They are helping this planet to develop the technology of the future, and also to make known, without being too strong about it, that they are here, that they are aware of us, that they are helping us, that they have a very spiritual intention in coming here, and that they are 100 per cent friendly and harmless.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: It is very difficult to believe in the true nature of the crop circles, because there are so many hoaxes. Could you tell me what percentage of crop circles are genuine and how many are hoaxes? And why are people doing this?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: There are, of course, some hoaxes. These hoaxes are a tiny minority, perhaps 4 per cent, of the real and authentic crop circles which appear all over the world. The ratio of hoaxes to authentic ones varies from country to country. In this country (UK) — because we have had so many crop circles and for so long — they are probably a bigger percentage than elsewhere. If you have more crop circles, you have more hoaxes. And in other parts of the world perhaps there is not such a conscious involvement of people with the crop circles, so they do not take the trouble to make them. To make a crop circle is hard work, and they are usually very obvious and very clumsy and badly made. How anyone can mistake a hoax for a real crop circle — if they visit the actual crop circles — astonishes me, because they are so perfectly made when they are authentic. They are made in seconds by the people using the space vehicle. First of all they think of a design, decide what the design will be. It may be very simple, and if you follow the sequence of crop circles, you see that they become more and more elaborate, more complex, as the years go on. First, for variety, and secondly, to show a complexity and a degree of ingenuity and design which would be beyond the range of any hoaxer. The hoaxes are usually very elementary, rather badly made. Why are they made? I would say, for two reasons. One reason is that they are made by people who are paid to make hoaxes. Newspapers, for example, do from time to time put up money and employ, say, a group of university students who have worked out a way in which you can make a crop circle of a kind, a rather simplistic kind, but that would convince a journalist. Journalists know no more about crop circles than anybody else, than the average man in the street, and yet they come along with their cameras and look at it, and they say: “Yes, it is a crop circle, a real authentic crop circle, how wonderful!”, and then Jeff and Peter, or Willy and Robert, come up and say: “No, we made it, yesterday, we made it! The <i>Daily Mail</i> or <i>The Sun</i> paid us £2,000 to make this crop circle, we can prove it. This is a complete hoax, they are all hoaxes.” It is a way of diminishing the value and the reality of the crop circles.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Also, I know for certain, that the Ministry of Defence in this country pays money to the farmers to cut down the crop circles if they appear in their corn. Some of them, of course, go ahead and as soon as a circle appears they cut it down. Even if the corn is not ripe and they would not normally cut down that area of corn for perhaps a few weeks or a month. And so you get fields with a great hole in the middle of the corn, which is where there has been a crop circle deliberately destroyed by the farmer — paid by the Ministry of Defence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: A crop circle appeared one week ago in Winchester which is quite elaborate — a three-dimensional picture of a Hollywood-style head of an alien. You said that it was man-made which astonishes me, because you can’t really recognize it from the ground. How can an ordinary person actually distinguish what is genuine and what not?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: It is difficult for people who have not studied the subject, who are not to some degree well acquainted with the subject, to tell the difference between a true, authentic crop circle, made by a spaceship from Mars or Venus, and one that is just a fake. But if you have been looking at them over a period of time, and realized the differences, you can see instantly that this is a fake and this is authentic, they are very clear cut. I saw the Winchester photograph: there is a circle in which the spaces are divided into squares in both ways, it makes a kind of a cake, but decorated in squares, and near it a head, a kind of alien, imaginary alien’s head. A head which is used every time a comic artist wants to design a spaceman, he gives him that kind of a head — rather like the head of E.T. That to me is a complete fake. It has nothing to do with the crop circle beside it, which is authentic.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">This is done for one or other of those reasons, simply, that people like to play pranks, they like to destroy evidence, they like to be cleverer than those who are making the crop circles — until the public and the media cannot make head or tail of the whole thing. It destroys the validity of the whole crop circle phenomenon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">If you cannot tell the difference between a fake one and an authentic one, then the authentic ones lose validity. Not ultimately, but for the present time. Until it is proved that crop circles are, indeed, made by UFOs from Mars and Venus. The number of fakes is really very small, because they are difficult to do, they take time and energy, and people who are going to spend that time and energy to do it either have an overdeveloped sense of humour — they see it as a great joke — or else, they are being paid to do it. Both things happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Just to get it clear about that Winchester crop circle: the disk is genuine?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: For the one I saw in the newspaper, the actual circle is a genuine one, and the head of an ‘E.T.’ is not authentic, but is a man-made one to nullify the validity of the other.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: The crop circle phenomenon started to appear in the late 1970s, but even before, in the 15th or 16th centuries, people knew about them. Why are they appearing in such numbers now, and why mainly, as it seems, in the UK?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: The number of crop circles is increasing all over the world. They have always been there, but only in small numbers. They are increasing because the plan of the Space Brothers — in relation to the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet — is to speed up the creation of this magnetic field of energy on the physical plane on the Earth to do with the coming technology. Why now? Because the whole process is speeding up. Because our own Spiritual Hierarchy, the Masters and high initiates of the Spiritual Hierarchy of this planet, are returning to the everyday world.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">They have not been out of the world, but They have been hidden away in the mountains and deserts of the world for thousands and thousands of years. They have been working behind the scenes but now They are externalizing Their work and are beginning to appear. Already, to my knowledge, there are 14 Masters living openly as men in the world, and the Master of all the Masters, the World Teacher, the Lord Maitreya, as He is named in the Spiritual Hierarchy, the One Christians call the Christ. The reason so many crop circles appear in southern England is because Maitreya lives in London, His ‘point of focus’ in the modern world. They are meant, subtly, to allude to that fact.</span><br />

</tbody></table></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Will this process keep increasing? Are we going to make closer contacts with UFOs?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: The Hierarchies of all the planets are in communication. This is something which people should understand. They themselves do not have that communication but Hierarchy does. The Hierarchy is made up of Masters of different levels and of disciples of even more varied levels. And from all these disciples, all these different grades of initiates, some of them may be part of groups who have been working with the Space Brothers. The Space Brothers have on this planet various people, like Adamski and others, who are used to bring the reality of the Space Brothers to the world, but also for other reasons, which I cannot go into; there are various aspects of this work which must be kept secret, for the time being at least. They have a great work in salvaging, in helping to restore the equilibrium of our planet, in particular to nullify to some extent — within the karmic law — the pollution of our planet. But for their work in purifying our atmosphere, mopping up with implosion devices the nuclear radiation which we pour into the atmosphere from our nuclear reactors and experimentation, this world would be infinitely more painful to live in.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: You mentioned that there are different individuals who work together with UFOs on different projects. There is an interesting project in America, conducted by Dr Steven Greer called the ‘Disclosure Project’. Could you comment on this?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: Dr Greer is doing a useful thing. He is not working — so far as I know — <i>with</i> the Space Brothers but he is impatient with the fact that there is masses of evidence to prove that UFOs exist. Not proof of where they come from, or their purpose, but that they are real, do, in fact, exist. They have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people for years, and yet the governments of the world, most of whom have adequate data on their existence, refuse to make that known.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">There is a huge cover-up, from the highest levels, in America, Russia, Britain, the European and various other countries who have been collecting data, evidence from their pilots, policemen, soldiers, from the public for years and years. This amounts to a huge body of evidence which is never published, is never made known, is covered up. People disappear even, in certain parts of the world, and nothing more is heard of them. There is sometimes coverage by media to discredit the evidence, and so on. In this way the governments control what the public knows, or rather does not know, about the Space Brothers and the UFO phenomenon. In this way they can keep it down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Dr Greer is impatient with this, he has himself experience of UFOs and wanted to make it known. He has set up a means for other people — ex-army, ex-RAF or ex-United States Air force personnel — to come forward and give their evidence. When people of their standing and experience give evidence in this public way, they hope it will lead to a general, better understanding and maybe eventually an open statement by the governments of the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Of course, when governments make such a statement about their knowledge, they are also at the same time committing political suicide. They think that if we know the technology that the Space Brothers have, which is so much more advanced than our own, then the ideas, the wisdom of these people (if it is possible to have at our service), is much more to be valued than that of our own governments. These governments do nothing but make war on each other, in competition destroy the economies of each other, and make life miserable for hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. Inevitably, we will say we want the Space Brothers to come and teach us their ways, we do not need you, Mr so-and-so and Mr so-and-so. They can see that as a loss of their power, and so they keep the whole thing dark.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Do you think Dr Greer will succeed with his initiative? Will governments come forward?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: The governments will only act when they are forced to do it. When Maitreya is known openly. Maitreya is the World Teacher, the head of our own planetary Hierarchy, Who are beginning to return to the everyday world. When They are known, when Maitreya is known, He will be asked questions like I am being asked now, and the truth of the relationship between this planet and the other planets will become known. Then the people from other planets will land and the reality of their existence will be known.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We have to understand that these ships and the people in these ships are in etheric matter, which is matter, but subtler than our physical matter. We, also, have the subtle matter in our etheric framework — of which the physical is only a precipitation, downwards — but we do not see it, and so for us it is non-existent. The Space Brothers can lower the vibrational rate of that etheric matter until it comes within our range of vision, so that we see the spaceships. But that is a temporary manifestation. When the Space Brothers live — and some do — on this Earth, they have to make, or take, Earth bodies to do so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">In the first place, the knowledge, the acceptance of the reality of the Space Brothers, will come through the acceptance of Maitreya and the Masters of our Spiritual Hierarchy. They will confirm that the Space Brothers are real, that the spaceships are real, that the other planets have their citizens who have nothing but goodwill, who are harmless, who want to help each other and do help each other, and who help this planet in so far as the law of karma allows. When we accept them and see what they are doing and how they are helping us, then the development of this planet will go forward tremendously fast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: There are so called abductions and cattle mutilations. Should one take them seriously? What is this in relation to UFOs?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: The question of abductions and cattle mutilations is part of the general cover-up. They are a way of invalidating the harmlessness of the Space Brothers and making people afraid of the Space Brothers. The Space Brothers know nothing of harm and mean no harm for this planet. If they had, they could have destroyed this planet long ago. No one is ever abducted in a spaceship. These cattle mutilations are deliberately made as cover-ups — to put the blame on the Space Brothers and therefore to make people afraid of them. The whole thing is a plot against this enormously important and enormously serious interchange between the planets, to keep power for a limited number of people on this planet. It will be, as I say, only for a limited time until the Hierarchy of Masters is known and accepted, until Maitreya is known and accepted, and then the reality of the UFOs will come out.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Those who say they are abducted have experiences of an astral-emotional nature in which they imagine that they are in spaceships. Nobody is ever taken up in a spaceship in a physical body. It is impossible. These spaceships are not solid physical. To be taken up into a spaceship you have to be taken out of the dense physical body and you go in the etheric into the spaceship, which are in themselves etheric. It is still physical, but etheric physical.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Now, people say they are taken up and experimented on, things are put into their skin and so on. The Space Brothers know all about us, they do not need to do this. To me it is a nonsense, because they are so advanced in every way that they do not need to make any kind of experiment. They know the answers already. It is a complete nonsense that they should carry out genetic or sexual experimentation on people from this planet when they have a technology which is several thousand years ahead of anything that we could think of today. It is stupid, it is a blind, a deliberate way of attacking the concept of wise and superior, spiritually-oriented people. In this way, the people in control in, or even behind, the governments of the world, retain their control.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Could you say a few words on the energy in crop circles? Is it good to stay in a crop circle for healing, for example?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: The crop circles are made by energy. The people in the spaceship form a design in their mind, simple or complex, and then, with a combination of technology and thought, that design is created in the crop.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">They always use a universal system based on ‘9’, rather than ‘10’, which we will adopt in the future. When we understand the nature of the mathematical ratios in the true sense, we will begin to understand the crop circle better. Many people think crop circles are ideograms — which they are not. They are not giving us ideas, encapsulating ideas. They are designs, carried out to a certain formula, and the formula is universal. That is what they are reiterating over and over again in these designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">In every case there is an energy which is embedded in the ground, in the water, etc, wherever the crop circle is made. You must understand that the crop circles are only external visible points where these vortices occur, but these occur all over the world, even where there are no crops. So there are thousands and thousands of these energy spots, vortices, created by the Space Brothers. When they make a circle in a crop you see it; when they make it in the ocean you do not see it, but it is there, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">In this way they are forming a magnetic grid which will be a source of energy on the physical plane, like storage tanks of energy. So it will draw energy from our own magnetic plane, but using it on the physical plane in the technology which is coming. In using energy from the sun in relation to this magnetic energy we will do wonders in healing, in transport and many other ways; all our energy needs will be met.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">If you go to a crop circle and you are sensitive to the energy, you will find, if you are in one made by a Venusian spaceship, that it will be quite distinct from that in a crop circle made by a Martian spaceship. If it is made by a Mercury or Jupiterian spaceship it will be different again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">These energies are different and they can have a healing quality. People spending a little time in a crop circle feel the energy, which is often of a healing nature and does heal. I would not recommend spending a lot of time in a crop circle, because one can be overcharged by the energy. Especially Venusian energy, which is very high in vibration. So I recommend care in spending time in crop circles. Spend maybe five or 10 minutes in it, but not sitting for a couple of hours talking with people, and so on. People do this, and then wonder why they are so overcharged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: On 20 June 2000, there was the first crop circle in Slovenia. The media reported it, and your Master confirmed it was genuine. Could you say whether it was made by a Martian or Venusian spaceship?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: It was Martian.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Were there any more in Slovenia, which we didn’t recognize?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: One more in August in the same year.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Tomorrow I have an interview with a Second World War veteran, who was in the Royal Air Force. He had many UFO sightings during the war. He was in the RAF. There was this phenomenon of so called “balls of light”, foo-fighters, accompanying the aircrafts which were going to bombard Germany. Pilots thought those lights were secret weapons of the Germans. But German pilots saw the very same lights when they came to England, and thought it was the secret weapon of the English. Could you explain what these lights were?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: All the space vehicles have listening devices, which may be two or two-and-a-half feet in diameter, and they can be directed from the spaceship itself, which might be — if it is the usual scout ship — 30 feet in diameter. These are sent down and connected energetically with the mothership, and they have instruments which can read the reports which are fed into very advanced computers. Our computers are ancient, backward things compared with the technology they have; these pick up data on everything: the quality of the air, the thoughts and ideas of individuals, if necessary. They may hover outside a room here and listen to this conversation, for example. Following an aircraft, they cannot be shot down — they have a forcefield round them. The spaceships, too, cannot be shot down, they also have a forcefield round them. They have often been fired at by fighter planes sent up to intercept them but there is no way the rounds can penetrate the forcefield of the ship, so it is a waste of time and energy. That is just Earth stupidity. We are a very stupid planet. We are a backward, dark planet whose people know nothing, believe nothing and understand nothing. But that is all going to change because the Hierarchy of Masters are coming back into the world. Some are already here, including the Master of all the Masters, Maitreya Himself, Who will be the first to become known. His mission begins in the very near future. This will throw a completely new light on the reality of life.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">These foo-fighters do a job — I cannot tell you what the job is in every single case, it will vary from time to time. The spaceships have implosion devices which have usually a red light, and which are used to nullify or neutralize nuclear radiation on the Earth. They use different devices for different purposes, but very common are the small disks for carrying information. I have seen them. I have ducked as they come so close! They do not mean any harm, it is just a kind of “hello”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: Many people see these balls of light, also where crop circles have appeared. There is a famous UK video from 1996 by John Wheatleigh. Your Master confirmed that the video was genuine, but later it was discovered that there were some strange things with this video; the light, when the video was shot, was strange as the sun was on the other side. Also the man who shot the video disappeared. Could you say a few words about the video?</span></i></div><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">BC: I do not know about that. I have not heard the evidence against the video, so I cannot really comment on this. All I can say is that the video is real. These lights which were seen were deliberately shown. The crop circle was made by the spaceship in seconds. Then these lights were put out to show that they were there, to draw attention to the fact that they had made the crop circle, to connect it with the UFO and so make it real, that it was not a mystery. Because if you just have a crop circle, or you are waiting for the appearance of a craft to make a crop circle and you do not see the craft, then there is a crop circle but you have no feedback on it. When you have lights, you do not know whether the lights or the UFO made the circle, but there is a connection between them, because no one has ever explained the lights which hovered over the ground.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I do not know whether the criticism is valid; it may be from a technical point of view, but it cannot be from the actual, factual point of view, because it happened, the crop circle appeared.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div align="left" class="Tekst1" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">JF: In conclusion, do you think that without Maitreya we won’t see UFOs becoming public knowledge?</span></i></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">BC: Well, it is not the way I would put that. I would not say that without Maitreya we would not see it, but that with Maitreya we <i>will</i> see it. The fact that Maitreya is here — I know with absolute certainty that Maitreya is here, living here in London where I am talking now — will guarantee that the fact of our Space Brothers becomes known. He will begin His open mission very soon indeed. The world will gradually come to understand Who He is and what His mission is, and when they accept Him, then, of course, they will accept what He says about the Space Brothers and the UFOs. Then there will be an open interchange between them and us.</span><div align="center"><span class="content"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Janez Ferjancic is a <i>Share International</i> co-worker from Slovenia.</span></span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">From the </span><span class="content"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">July/August 2004</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> issue of <i><a href="http://www.shareintl.org/">Share International</a></i></span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“If one thing is clear from the teachings of Adamski coming from the Venusian Master, from my Master, and, you will find, from Maitreya, it is that the Space Brothers are absolutely harmless to the people of Earth. In fact, their presence here is a spiritual mission. They come to save humanity from even greater pain and suffering than we would otherwise have known in the years since the discovery of nuclear fission.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Since that time we have poured nuclear energy into our atmosphere, which our scientists cannot even measure. They do not have the technology to measure levels of matter above gas, the etheric levels, where this release of nuclear energy occurs – the deadliest release of energy that has ever taken place on Earth.<br />
This nuclear energy is in tremendous potency and is destroying the well-being of humanity and the lower kingdoms. It works by depleting our body’s immune system, and therefore opens us to all manner of ills that otherwise would not affect us. As a result, we have wave upon wave of influenzas and other diseases that we have less and less ability to cope with. The growing incidence of Alzheimer’s disease at ever younger ages throughout the world is a direct result of the high concentration of nuclear energy at the higher etheric levels, not registered by the instruments of our present-day scientists. This energy plays on the human brain, causing more and more Alzheimer’s, memory loss, disorientation, and the gradual breakdown of our body’s defence system.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Space Brothers, mainly from Mars and Venus, are engaged on a spiritual mission to neutralize this nuclear radiation. They are not allowed to completely neutralize all the extant nuclear radiation, but within the karmic law they do, using various implosive devices. They neutralize the radiation that we are pumping into the atmosphere from every nuclear power station without exception, and from all nuclear experimentation. We are continually making more and craftier bombs that will be more deadly than previous bombs. All of that experimentation releases into our atmosphere clouds of nuclear radiation that we do not know about. We cannot measure it and therefore we deny its existence.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our nuclear scientists believe they have total control of nuclear energy, which, demonstrably, they do not. They have no understanding of the four etheric levels of matter above the solid, liquid and gaseous levels and therefore a limited knowledge of that they know as nuclear energy. It is actually etheric, physical matter which we should not be using. Nuclear energy is, as it says in the Bible, “that which stands where it ought not”. Nuclear fission should not be utilized. It is deadly and is increasingly damaging the health of the people of this planet. The people of other planets spend countless hours mopping up this energy.”<br />
(Benjamin Creme, The Gathering of the Forces of Light: UFOs and their Spiritual Mission)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“Our planet Earth is limping, ailing, through space. From our misuse of resources, from the insane competition between the nations, we have rendered our planet sick. The restoration of the health of our planet must become our number one priority after the saving of the starving millions.<br />
The worst pollution poisoning everything – the waters, the air, the rivers, seas – is nuclear radiation, which we cannot even see or measure. We build nuclear reactors around the world but our scientists cannot see the effects of their ignorant actions.” (Benjamin Creme, The Gathering of the Forces of Light: UFOs and their Spiritual Mission)</span><br />

(1) What’s the best way to convince medical science that, whether or not nuclear plants have accidents, suffer disasters, leaks, and so on, the very fact that they exist at all is dangerous and highly toxic? (2) Would further developments in Kirlian photography technology provide effective proof? (3) If not, which scientific approach would lead most rapidly to finding proof of how polluting nuclear energy is?</div><div class="answer" style="display: block; font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 2px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">A. (1) If it were possible I would have done so long ago. I have been speaking about the dangers of nuclear radiation for 30 years or more. These ‘scientists’ will listen only to their own kind, who unfortunately share the same set of blinkers. (2) No. (3) The experience of disasters like the ones at Fukushima, Chernobyl, etc.</div><div class="question" style="color: #001c8c; display: block; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Q. Hierarchical advice is that all nuclear plants should be closed as soon as possible. (1) Scientists say that nuclear energy is cleaner than carbon-based energy;(2) There are no really efficient alternatives. (3) So much money is invested in the nuclear industry it is virtually impossible to extricate our economies from it.<br />
Could you please comment on the issues raised above?</div><div class="answer" style="display: block; font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 2px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">A. (1) In terms of carbon yes, but not in terms of destructiveness. (2) The alternative is the fusion process of nuclear energy. It does not depend on fission. It is clean, cold, does not provide waste and according to the Master Djwhal Khul (who gave the Alice A.Bailey teachings) requires only a simple isotope of water, available worldwide, in order to satisfy our need for power. There are various formulae for the fusion process, some of which have already been bought up by branches of the oil industry to protect their domain. (3) This is true of the more sophisticated industrial nations but not for the whole world. We do not need power stations based on nuclear fission. They are out of date and extremely dangerous.</div><div class="question" style="color: #001c8c; display: block; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Q. Could your Master please say how the world’s energy needs can be met in the short to medium term, supposing that the world follows Hierarchy’s advice to stop using nuclear energy.</div><div class="answer" style="display: block; font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 2px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">A. The cold fusion process (see above question).</div><div class="question" style="color: #001c8c; display: block; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Q. In the book The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom, you have predicted that cold fusion using deuterium, the isotope of hydrogen, will be used soon, implying that it is safe owing to almost no by-products concerning radioactivity; and deuterium is superabundant in the waters of the oceans and rivers of the world.<br />
Presently, there are many scientists in the world working in the field of cold fusion/condensed matter nuclear science, confirming that cold fusion is actually taking place. On the other hand, it seems to be very difficult to obtain quantitative (not qualitative) reproducibility in the obtained experimental results. It is indispensable to establish the accurate reproducibility of obtained results of cold fusion experiments before being applied to industrial applications. To solve this difficulty we would like to have the comment of you (or your Master).</div><div class="answer" style="display: block; font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 2px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">A. When the necessary amount of energy, time and money is made available this will come about. This will be soon.</div><div class="question" style="color: #001c8c; display: block; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Q.

Yes.</div><div class="question" style="color: #001c8c; display: block; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Q. A certain amount of nuclear energy is needed for medical applications – does the world also need to phase that out?

This will be superseded by the coming advanced form of genetic engineering.</div><div class="question" style="color: #001c8c; display: block; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Q. Since Fukushima a so-called “nuclear stress test” has been developed. (1) Do you think it is rigorous enough?

(1) No. (2) It may be an honest attempt but it is certainly not an effective one. The whole point is that the technology of nuclear science today is inadequate to measure the whole range of the energy of matter.</div><div class="question" style="color: #001c8c; display: block; font-size: 1em; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 1.15em; margin-top: 40px; text-align: left; word-spacing: 0.2em;">Q.

<h4 class="title" style="color: navy; font-family: Geneva; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1em; margin-right: 4px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Closing nuclear reactors and discovering new energies</span></h4><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><em>Excerpts from an interview with Benjamin Creme’s Master</em></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">During a wide-ranging discussion with London-based journalist Patricia Pitchon on 4 August 1994 about major problems of land, air and sea pollution, Mr Creme’s Master kindly agreed to answer questions (through Benjamin Creme) on these topics. Published in Share International in October 1994, we reproduce an extract on nuclear pollution from the interview.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After the interview Patricia Pitchon explained: “The Master underlined the urgency of dealing with dangerous nuclear reactors as an absolute priority. He also provided a fascinating picture of forthcoming discoveries. Currently the nuclear industry in various parts of Western Europe is promoting itself as the clean form of energy. The main problems, however, refer to storage. Nuclear reactors in the major industrialized countries now operating or being built will produce thousands of cubic metres of high-level waste. The problem of a long-term repository for high-level wastes remains unsolved. High-level wastes are stored in stainless steel tanks, but there have been leaks. A process to solidify waste in glass (vitrification) is being studied, but the danger is that the glass blocks may disintegrate later on. As for underground sites, the search for stable geological sites has not been successful, and we cannot predict future geological movements; earthquakes mean there are no guarantees. Intermediate and low-level wastes are buried in shallow grounds in the US and in the UK, but in the US three sites were closed down several years ago due to contamination. Low-level waste has also been dumped into the sea.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“This panorama is made infinitely worse by the fact that in Eastern Europe the dangers multiply with a large number of ageing and dangerous nuclear reactors. The entrepreneur Edward Goldsmith estimated in a recent book that there are at least 41 disasters of the Chernobyl type waiting to happen in Eastern Europe.”</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><strong>Patricia Pitchon</strong>: What is the Master’s view on these dangers?<br />
<strong>The Master</strong>: Our advice is to close down all nuclear fission reactors without delay. They are a major source of deadly pollution. Life on this planet would be utter misery were it not for the help of our Space Brothers who neutralize this pollution and render it harmless within karmic limits. Fleets of Their space ships, using implosion devices, do this on a daily basis.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Patricia Pitchon: Within how many years does the Master think we will manage to do this?<br />
The Master: One of the first things Maitreya will advise is the closing down of nuclear reactors and ending all representation of nuclear fission as being a more efficient way of producing energy. From the politicians’ point of view, there is power, prestige and commercial gain from nuclear energy. The average person’s mind is confused by all the scientific jargon; his voice is not properly heard in the realms of power. But the voice of the people is about to become more articulate: one of the many aspects of Maitreya’s mission is to act as the voice of the people, to address the problems of peace and war, and starvation in the midst of plenty; to galvanize the will of the people to force politicians to address these issues. Government, today, is about power and the wielding of power, rather than about service. The problem is to shift the emphasis. What is required is the appearance of Maitreya, which is very imminent indeed. These questions have to be addressed by humanity itself, with Maitreya as a guide….</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At the conclusion of the interview the Master added the following:<br />
In restoring the planet, salvation is a collective effort. Maitreya will make it clear that this is the case. I estimate that within three to five years from the moment of Maitreya’s appearance an enormous transformation will be taking place. Starvation on the planet will be tackled: mass progress for the starving millions is the aim, and on a scale which we have never contemplated. That achieved, we will tackle the problems of the environment around us. The top priority is the complete transformation of our mode of living towards one that is sustainable.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We will see the end of the current economy based on unbridled growth. Men everywhere will be able to eat and live and preserve the resources of the environment. (Maitreya’s Mission, Volume Three)</span><br />

An excerpt<em>.</em></div><br />
<strong>It is Maitreya’s</strong> task to remind men of their heroic destiny, and to persuade them that the act of sharing will engender the trust they seek. He will show that sharing is no longer an option, a choice, but the inevitable consequence of their realization that humanity is One.<br />
Thus will Maitreya and His Group guide humanity away from the abyss which, many believe, threatens to engulf it. And thus, too, will He set men firmly on the course to realize their divine destiny. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The creation of trust’)<br />
<strong>What is required</strong> is a reassessment of who and what we are in our relationship to each other. Maitreya says the first step we have to take to address these problems is to see ourselves as one, brothers and sisters of one humanity. We have to get that sense of globality, that we are one people, one group – and therefore the food, raw materials, energy, scientific know-how and educational facilities of the world belong to everyone. These resources are given so that all people may evolve correctly according to the Plan which underlies our evolutionary process. As a result, we must share these resources more equitably. When we share, Maitreya says, we will create justice in the world, and when we create justice, and only then, will we have peace. (Benjamin Creme, Maitreya’s Mission Volume Three)<br />
<strong>Sharing is the</strong> key of keys. Through sharing men will come to know the meaning of God’s love. Without sharing there can be no future for man, for the time has come to manifest God’s love – or die. Sharing provides the answer to all man’s problems and a sure entry into the New Age. Through sharing, peace will prevail. Through sharing, justice will be won. Through sharing and co-operation, brotherhood will flourish, and a new and glorious future open for man. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The future’)<br />
<strong>If we would</strong> evolve, develop as a race, we must realize our oneness, realize that we are brothers and sisters of one family, under the one Divine Source, and identical with that Source. What happens in a normal family? They share whatever they have. A mother will not feed one child better than another, give one child 17 per cent and another 83 per cent of the food. We have to realize that we are one family, and therefore must share the resources of the world more equitably around the world. (Benjamin Creme, Maitreya’s Mission Volume Three)<br />
<strong>Wherever you look</strong> throughout the world, the response to My Message can be seen. The principle of Sharing, basic to men’s lives, engages the minds of the leaders. A growing group of such awakened men sound the keynote of the New Time. Thus gladly do I see the response to My work.<br />
My friends, you too can manifest Sharing in your lives; by all means should this divine principle govern. Teach Sharing to your children, to the little ones, and enable them to cultivate the Good. My task is to enlighten all men; to change ignorance into true knowledge and faith; to teach men that behind all that they see stands the One Reality, and thus to take them to God. (Maitreya, from Message No.127)<br />
<strong>From time to</strong> time, I have spoken of the need to inculcate the spirit of sharing whereby the world’s resources can be more equitably distributed. This would lead to a reduction of tension and of incalculable human suffering. It would also bring about a revitalization of the life and of the economies of the already developed nations. The life-blood of the planet must circulate. The stagnant economies of the richer nations can only be galvanized into motion through the recognition that the poorer nations, too, have a right to live and to enjoy a reasonable standard of life. Only sharing can make this so.<br />
Daily, the evidence mounts to show men that the world is One, that humanity is an organism whose well-being depends on the health of every part, and that to ignore the signs of danger and of disease is no longer possible or wise. Many now see this and call for justice but only the cry of awakened humanity will suffice to shift the Powers from their positions of greed. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The future beckons’)<br />
<strong>There is a</strong> wonderful statement by the great Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca about the ending of hunger:<br />
“The day that hunger is eradicated from the Earth there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known. Humanity cannot imagine the joy that will burst into the world on the day of that great revolution.”<br />
That may seem a very ambitious statement, but it is a recognition, I believe, that the eradication of hunger in a world of plenty is humanity’s first step into its divinity because it is the first step into right relationship of man to man. As soon as we recognize that we are One and begin to share the resources of the world among all peoples, we take the first step into becoming gods. Therein lies the essential spirituality of the new economic structures, which must be based on sharing because they must be based on man’s divinity. (Benjamin Creme, Maitreya’s Mission Volume One) ….<br />
<strong>So great are</strong> the tensions inherent in the vast differences in economic power wielded by the various nations that true stability is impossible to achieve. This being so, it is only a question of time before the whole shaky edifice collapses ignominiously.<br />
This will be the signal and the opportunity for a complete reappraisal of the economic priorities of the world. The needs of all peoples are the same: adequate food, housing, education and healthcare are the essential requirements without which men cannot reach, nor render to society, their full potential. Millions, today, are denied these basic rights.<br />
When Maitreya emerges, His first priority will be to address this fundamental problem, to show how simple it is to change the status quo when men see themselves as brothers. He will advocate, as a matter of urgency, the sharing of the necessities of life more equitably as the prerequisite for a stable world society. Thus will He draw the peoples together and commit them to transformation. When men see the need, and recognize the possibilities thus revealed, they will gladly adhere to Maitreya’s recommendations and implement the needed changes. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘Inclusiveness the key’)<br />
<strong>My task will</strong> be to show you how to live together peacefully as brothers. This is simpler than you imagine, My friends, for it requires only the acceptance of Sharing. Sharing, indeed, is divine. It underlies all progress for man. By its means, My brothers and sisters, you can come into correct relationship with God; and this, My friends, underlies your lives. When you share, you recognise God in your brother. This is a truth, simple, but until now difficult for man to grasp. The time has come to evidence this truth. (Maitreya, from Message No.82)<br />
