Maitreya

In the middle of world economic, political and spiritual crisis extraordinary individual coming in everyday life of the planet. His name is Maitreya, though different religius expecting him under different names: Imam Mahdi, fifth Buddha, Christ, Messiah, Krishna, but almost no one expecting him in this time, on this way. He came in London in 1977, and from that time has been preparing humanity for his open mission – to teach humanity: right relationship, importance of sharing world resources, realization of human true divine nature etc. Maitreya is not a religious leader, but a teacher for all humanity.



He say in one of his messages: »Look for Me then as your Brother and Friend. Seek Me in the midst of your brothers. Know Me for My Love. Recognise Me by My work. See in Me the God you are.«

Re: Maitreya

I'm always struck by how the new messiahs are all living in the west, in cities no less, whereas their precursors were humble nobodies living in the east.

Re: Maitreya

he sounds hippie. those doctrins have been tested and been figured out that its impossible to build a world where there's no "badness" at all as nobody's innocent. And there is nothing as pure white..

we need more realistic thougths and a personna who knows each and every person feelings on earth...

Re: Maitreya

It seems that people totaly loosing hope of better world. People rather belive in gods or church, political and economic authoritys than in humanity itself. All great human stories (Christianity, Islam, French revolution etc.) is at begining looks utopian, crazy, and so on.

Maybe the story of Maitreya is wrong, but are we waiting that planet will be destroyed (by humanity) or we trying to do something. Principle of sharing we all know in (normal) familys, maybe in future we will beliving that humanity is a Great family. Many people today belive so.

(sorry for my bad English, it is my second language)

hello rok )
no problem at all, english is not a language that's been thought to me by my mother too. But people in these forums are very tolerative towards that, as they more interested in the meaning not the structure of the sentence. Actually you are crystal clear in your ideas, mon cher (winks at vajradhaya

I myself is totally hopeful, but the thing is why are we still in search for another survivor? what did we benefit from the others that we have believed so far? The world's been dieing away true, which prophet's belief was able to stop it? What they brought was diversity between humans as we remember their name more then the god itself.

We sure will/should do something, though it shouldnt be under the leadership of an ordinary human whose ego is more bigger than the allah itself. Who tf is he? Can he even fly?

In this dark ages, we are going through, if nature, nirvana is to send another guy, a UNITER let me say, as its 'mouth', it sure must have understood that this son of it has to have unearthly powers for these poor humans to accept him as the real 'man'








.... pitying all the innocence people that suffers from the storms in america ...

Re: Maitreya

For me, one of the greatest problem of human thougt is total misunderstanding of basic concepts like god, soul and so on.

Benjamin Creme (man who trying to speeks open about Maitreya) says: ˝God is a state of Being, a state of consciousness.˝

All creation is God, but difference between beings (stone, plant, animal, human, Master of Wisdom ...) is in awarnes of its Divinity.

Maitreya is great Being, who was in his long evolutionary yourney (through incarnational process) became perfect from the standpoint of humanity. For us he is supernatural, God like, but that is the goal for each human being.

But it is safer for people to belive spirituall authoritys like pope, priests of all religions.

Re: Maitreya

What is really valuable of great people or gods, if you like to say so, is what they talk about and what they work.

I think they do not need our admiration or worship.

Re: Maitreya

I think that Maitreya´s open presence on the world is really near, he said on 9/23:

“Wait for me a little longer only,
and you will find your dreams fulfilled.
So will it be, and soon My nourishing Love
will strengthen and invest your life with joy.”
