When mankind sees, at last, the folly of its present
fascination with violence and war, and discards the means to carry out
its acts of violence, it will undergo a remarkable transformation. The
first signs of this most welcome change in human behaviour can be seen
in the millions who now march denouncing war and calling for justice and
peace. These demonstrations, spontaneous and worldwide, are a sure
indication that mankind is ready to renounce the past, and, when
properly led, to change direction. This time is fast approaching.
Amid the trauma and stressful conditions of the present, a new vision of
the future is presenting itself to the hearts and minds of millions who,
to a greater or lesser degree, respond. Men are awakening to the
necessity of peace if mankind is to survive. Few there are who doubt
this in their hearts, however much they may be embroiled in war. The
stage thus is set for the ultimate choice before mankind.Vision
To the average onlooker, the world is torn and dominated by those who do
not share the vision of peace, who see only opportunities for wealth and
power in every conflagration. While these are many, the majority of men
are tired of the uselessness of war, and seek strategies to put an end
to such folly for ever. In their hearts burns the hope of a new time of
peace and progress for all. These people, in every country, represent
the hope of the world.
It is to them that Maitreya will address Himself on His emergence. It is
to them that He presents the vision of the future, even now. They, in
their many millions, will quickly respond to His advocacy, and set
alight the hope of all.
Thus will Maitreya persuade men that further reckless strife is useless
and dangerous. That the problems of today are global and cannot be
solved by war. That co-operation alone will bring men peace and plenty.
That only as brothers, hand in hand, can they enter the new world which
awaits their care.
Happiness
Thus will men decide, and turn back from the abyss. Thus will they
demonstrate their choice for life and happiness, and, eyes alight with
hope, begin together the task of reconstructing this world.
The time of decision is nigh, almost upon us. Maitreya is ready, eager
to show the way, point the new direction. Millions await His counsel and
inspiration, wisdom and love. Maitreya will vouchsafe the future for
all.

| It is often to be observed that people do not
always believe the evidence of their own eyes. Hence the rejection
of many experiences which would have been valuable to them as they
search for meaning and purpose in their lives. It is common, for
example, that many disbelieve that they have seen a UFO, as they
are generally known, when all evidence shows otherwise. People are
loath to embrace the new and unknown, however much to do so it
might be to their benefit. In this way, they inhibit their
awareness and growth. For many years now, the craft emerging from
our sister planets have roamed our skies, done immeasurable
service on our behalf, and, from time to time, given ample and
inspiring evidence of their reality and presence. In ones and twos
and untold numbers, they have worked selflessly to mitigate,
within the karmic Law, the harmful results of our foolishness and
ignorance. Many on Earth have seen them, have stood in awe and
wonder at their obvious mastery of space, and, fearful of
ridicule, kept silence. Thus the knowledge of their reality and
the grateful understanding of their purpose has been lost to men.
Why should this be so? Why should men reject that which is most to
their betterment to accept and understand?
Fear
There are several reasons why men behave so unreasonably in this
way. Chief among them is fear. The great numbing fear of possible
destruction lies deep within the human psyche, ready to rise and
condition all reactions, all spontaneous gestures of hope and
wonder. It has, alas, always been so for many. The governments and
the media of most countries have failed in their duty to educate
and enlighten the masses. Much is known by many governmental
agencies and withheld from the public. Above all, the harmlessness
of the UFO, even when known, is never affirmed. On the contrary,
everything concerning them, while wrapped in vague mystery, is
presented as threat. People in positions of power and control know
that if their people knew the true nature of the UFO phenomenon,
and understood them to be envoys from civilizations far ahead of
ours, they would no longer accept, passive and mute, the
conditions of life on Earth. They would demand that their leaders
invite these aerial guests to land openly, and to teach us how to
live and achieve in the same fashion.
Knowledge
The time is not far off when this will be the case. The time is
coming when the true nature of life on planets other than Earth
will be common knowledge; when men will begin to think of the
Solar System as an interrelated whole, the planets at various
points in evolution, but all working together to fulfil the Plan
of the Solar Logos, and to help and sustain each other on the way.
The ultimate triumph
by the Master: Maitreya --,through Benjamin Creme

| When a nation comes to adulthood, to
maturity, it relates to other nations in a completely
different way than hitherto. It begins to respect the Rule
of Law, which binds all nations together in mutual
responsibility and need. The sign of a growing maturity is
precisely this respect for the laws which men have found
necessary to living together in peace. From time to time, a
nation may feel powerful enough to ignore the law which irks
its ambition to dominate, and to make war despite the
warnings of restraint from its friends. Thus it is today
that the United States, now, alone, a ‘superpower’, vexes
and worries the people of more mature nations who have grown
to see the folly of unilateral action outside the Rule of
Law. The young and over-confident ‘superpower’, flexing its
muscles, will overreach itself, and the sooner this happens
the safer for the world. Already a steadily growing chaos
exacts due cost in loss of life, both American and Iraqi.
The seal of Pandora’s Box has been broken and from it has
stepped a monster, out of control. To be sure, the US
administration wear as brave a face as they can muster, but
behind the scenes, they are worried indeed, and seek
desperately a less than ignominious method of withdrawal.
Meanwhile, the defeated Iraqi army fights a guerrilla war
with some success, while religious groups, seizing their
opportunity, increase the tension with calls for civil war.
Thus, the paramount adventure of the American President,
designed to demonstrate the invincibility of the United
States, has little to show for its efforts and very much
still to lose.
Folly
When, at last, the US Government sees for itself the folly
of this reckless and unnecessary war, it will not, of
course, admit this to the world. Rather, it will seek to
gain the support of the United Nations to extricate itself
from this embarrassing blunder, and, if possible, to lay the
blame elsewhere.
Suffers
When, among nations, the Rule of Law is ignored, the whole
world suffers. Thus, today, the tension which has
accompanied this futile demonstration of military strength
affects millions, innocent of all terrorist action or
mayhem. The world is struggling now with epidemics of all
kinds as the human immune system breaks down under the
stress. Did the warmongers but realize the karmic effects of
their ill-considered actions, they might well make amends
and take sightings for another course. Maitreya, meanwhile,
watches carefully this inharmonious situation, ready to
intervene if necessary, ready to emerge when possible.
Remember that Maitreya is in no doubt about the ultimate
triumph of those who stand behind Him, who value peace and
justice, freedom and love. He knows that these are the
mainsprings of human existence and comes to see them
enthroned in all |
