Wow seems this Maitreya takes the credit for practically every major geopolitical event of the 20th century!
And isnt it convenient that he has remained “hidden” and is not specifically identified? That way any old corrupt politician can be rolled out at the right time and declared: ta daa! its Maitreya!
It will probably be at the time when the intelligence level of the average western man is at its lowest point in history!
That way making it much easier to dupe the masses!
I say this again, the world just keeps on proving the Truth of God’s Word:
Matthew 24:5, 11, 15, 24:
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
(my comments are in italics)
For years the world has been filled with miracles of all kinds. In April 1995 Time magazine devoted an eight-page spread to its cover story on miracles and concluded: “People are hungry for signs.”
(yes people hunger after signs, instead of hungering after righteousness, this is why they are deceived)
Look now for the biggest miracle of all. In the very near future a large, bright star will appear in the sky visible to all throughout the world — night and day.
Unbelievable? Fantasy? No, a simple fact. Around a week later, Maitreya, the World Teacher for all humanity, will begin his open emergence and — though not yet using the name Maitreya — will be interviewed on a major US television program.
( You notice it says “a simple fact” the sad thing today is the internet generation believes something as fact just because someone says it is factual even without any factual evidence whatsover!)
In 1988, CNN and other media reported on Maitreya’s miraculous appearance to 6,000 people in Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday, June 11. A week before the event, a remarkable sign occurred: “On Saturday 4 June a big, bright star was sighted, unusually brighter than ordinary stars,” reported Kenya Times editor Job Mutungi.
(And another tactic to make something seem factual is to use well known seemingly respectful people and agencies to lend validity to the deception)
For over 30 years, artist, author and lecturer Benjamin Creme has been preparing the way for the emergence of Maitreya and his group, the Masters of Wisdom. In May 1982, Creme revealed at a packed press conference in Los Angeles that Maitreya had been living in the Asian community of London since July 19, 1977.
(again, notice the use of words that make it seem this person is someone who knows what he is talking about, and a “packed press conference” makes it seem he is someone important. When in actual fact Benjamin Creme is nothing more than a crackpot!)
Awaited by all faiths under different names, Maitreya is the Christ to Christians, the Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Krishna to Hindus, the Messiah to Jews, and Maitreya Buddha to Buddhists. He is the World Teacher for all, religious or not, an educator in the broadest sense.
(And then comes the hook! Maitreya is one person who has went by many different names in many different religions. Seems real plausible doesnt it? Fits right in with the new post modern inclusive ideology that all religions are valid and that we all just have our own muddled interpretation leading to the same “god”. but here is the problem for those who actually read God’s Word: The Bible, God’s Word warns us of such a person as this. So according to the “law of non-Contradiction” this man could not be Christ, because what he says contradicts God’s Word. And if God is God then he cannot contradict himself as he is all knowing!)
As a modern man concerned with today’s problems, Maitreya works behind the scenes of our changing world. The outpouring of his extraordinary energy has been the stimulus for dramatic developments on many fronts: the ending of the cold war; the break-up of the Soviet Union; the reunification of Germany; the ending of apartheid in South Africa; the growing power of the people’s voice, leading to demands for freedom and justice; and the worldwide focus on preserving the environment.
(now that the lie has been established that this Maitreya is the “World Teacher for all” we are then fed the lie that he has been working behind the scene on our behalf. Everyone likes to know that someone has been looking out for them!)
Maitreya’s message can be summarized as “share and save the world”. He will seek to inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and to create world peace through sharing, economic justice and global cooperation.
With Maitreya and his group working openly in the world, humanity is assured not only of survival but of the creation of a brilliant new civilization.
(and now that the lie has been established and hooked the masses, who then run after this false “Teacher” en masse. Then the false “Teacher” can become the tyrant to force all people to worship him as God!, The “new civilization” that is spoken of has no real peace or economic justice but instead enforced wealth redistribution and forced peace based on the dictated terms of this false “teacher”, “global cooperation” in actuality is forced cooperation by threat of death)
MAITREYA RISING?
There was a very strange announcement made recently in the form of a press release posted on the Dow Jones & Company’s Market Watch website dated December 12, 2008, that bears mentioning, if for no other reason, because it reads like something from a supermarket tabloid. Come to think of it, didn’t Rupert Murdoch just buy Dow Jones & Company not long ago? If you’re not aware, they also publish, among other things, the Wall Street Journal.
Anyway, whether this speaks to the decline of a once great business publication or the growing power and influence of a coming world leader, only time will tell. Either way, it is clearly another ominous sign of the desperate times in which we live.
The article in question titled, Share International Reveals Christmas Miracle, advises readers to prepare for a coming miracle that all of us will see in the sky shortly before the “emergence of Maitreya and his group, the Masters of Wisdom.”
Allow me to reiterate: This is a major business and financial news publication – not some obscure blog for Bigfoot hunters and UFO enthusiasts.
The article goes on to say:
Look now for the biggest miracle of all. In the very near future a large, bright star will appear in the sky visible to all throughout the world — night and day.
Unbelievable? Fantasy? No, a simple fact. Around a week later, Maitreya, the World Teacher for all humanity, will begin his open emergence and — though not yet using the name Maitreya — will be interviewed on a major US television program.
Who is Maitreya, you ask?
The press release describes him this way:
Awaited by all faiths under different names, Maitreya is the Christ to Christians, the Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Krishna to Hindus, the Messiah to Jews, and Maitreya Buddha to Buddhists. He is the World Teacher for all, religious or not, an educator in the broadest sense.
If that doesn’t peg your spiritual discernment meter, you may want to go have it checked.
What I find fascinating is that this Maitreya fellow seems to have a strangely similar “share and save the world” agenda to that of Purpose Driven Pastor Rick Warren with his Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan and also President-elect Barack Obama with his Global Poverty Act and Universal Service Plan – men who apparently have no aversion to working with any or all of the world religions or non-religions to save the planet – which may explain, at least in part, why Warren is scheduled to lead the invocation at Obama’s upcoming inauguration.
Could this be another not-so-subtle sign of solidarity?
But what was really entertaining was seeing Warren recently proclaim the social gospel as “Marxism in Christian clothing” in the Christian Post.
Who does he think he’s kidding?
Now Obama has used so many names over the years; is it possible that “Maitreya” is just another of them? After all, during his campaign for the presidency, was he not repeatedly referred to as the Messiah?
Who knows – maybe that “bright star” will appear in the sky about a week before his swearing-in ceremony.
Or maybe he and Warren are two of Maitreya’s “Masters of Wisdom.” Or maybe they’re just a couple of flunkies that will be shoved aside when the main act arrives. Or maybe they’re all working together behind the scenes to get us into their save the world through social service mindset in preparation for the big coming out party.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Whatever the case, Mike Oppenheimer has an interesting and informative piece on this mysterious “World Teacher” titled, Maitreya the betrayer, posted on his website, Let Us Reason Ministries, along with a host of links to other related subjects that I have no hesitation recommending to my readers – especially in light of this peculiar press release.
Sure, Christmas might well come and go this year without a miraculous star compelling us all to tune in to Maitreya’s big network television debut – but still, I find it hard to believe that these guys would spend so much time and effort preparing for a non-event that would render everyone involved a laughingstock.
Getting people to take them serious after a fabulous faux pas like that might be a little tough to pull off.
But then, I guess Britney Spears did it.
At least nobody’s trying to sell us another frozen gorilla suit in a freezer.

now from the Daily Telegraph:
Never fear, a bright star will herald a new saviour
This week has come encouraging news for anyone with an interest in signs and wonders, or desperate for a chink of light in the prevailing gloom, which probably means most of us: a saviour is at hand.
According to the Share International News Service, in a press release captioned Christmas Miracle, a “large bright star” will be appearing in the sky sometime over the next few days, or weeks, heralding the appearance on “a major US television programme” of the new World Teacher, Maitreya, who will be ushering in a new age of peace, wisdom and understanding. And not before time, I hear you say.
Share International is the organisation founded by Benjamin Creme, the Scottish painter and clairvoyant, and Britain’s most redoubtable millenarian, who has been prophesying the coming of Maitreya for the past 26 years.
He is an erstwhile Theosophist and student of Alice Bailey, whose writings in the 1920s talked of the coming of “the Cosmic Christ”. In 1982, Mr Creme took out full page advertisements in newspapers around the world to announce that Maitreya had arrived in London on a flight from Pakistan, having descended from the Himalayan redoubt where he had been living with a community of ascended Masters, who are watching over Mankind with a concerned eye, and was living among the Asian community.
Mr Creme was told this by one of the Masters, with whom he has been in telepathic communication since 1959 when the Master contacted Mr Creme while he was sitting in the bath.
The announcement of Maitreya’s arrival in London occasioned some excitement among newspapers. But when he failed to materialise, they promptly forgot all about Mr Creme. He is, however, one of the world’s great and indefatigable optimists. Undeterred, at the age of 86 he continues to travel the world, lecturing about the coming of the Maitreya, and publishing his not-for-profit magazine Share International.
I have known Mr Creme for a number of years, and like him enormously. He lives in a modest semi-detached house in Tuffnell Park, north London, with his wife Phyllis, a lecturer. He has a built a shed at the bottom of the garden where a group assembles twice a week for “transmission meditation”. I remember asking him if I might speak to his Master. “Ask away,” he said. I posed a question. Mr Creme was silent for a moment, cocking his head to his Master’s voice, then gave a chuckle. “The Masters,” he explained, “have a wonderful sense of humour.” He then gave me my reply. It was an odd moment.
Maitreya has proved remarkably reluctant to reveal himself. In 1988 he reportedly made a fleeting appearance at a prayer meeting in Nairobi. Since then he has preferred to travel incognito. When I contacted Mr Creme this week (by nothing more miraculous than telephone) to inquire about the imminent appearance, he told me that his Master was able to confirm that the star would be appearing shortly, would be seen by everybody throughout the world and that “around a week” after that Maitreya would be making his appearance on American television. Did he know on what programme? “I do. But I’m not allowed to say.”
When I put it to Mr Creme that the timing of the bright star’s appearance seemed to have a particularly seasonal resonance, he replied: “That’s why we’re calling it a Christmas Miracle.”
I’m not sure what to make of all this. But in the interests of balance, I consulted “The Rapture Index” – “The prophetic speedometer of end-time activity” – which is run by a fundamentalist Christian named Todd Strandberg, a former US air force supply sergeant who lives in Nebraska.
While Mr Creme sees the new age of enlightenment arriving relatively painlessly, The Rapture Index takes an apocalyptic view of the future, regularly totting up all the factors necessary for the final, cataclysmic judgment – war, famine, financial meltdown, “Beast Government” and “false Christs” among them. At this moment, true believers will ascend to heaven in “the Rapture”, leaving the rest of us to… well, you really don’t want to know.
The current reading of the Rapture Index is 156 points. This constitutes “Heavy prophetic activity” – not good, but still a few reassuring notches below the threshold of 160, when you are advised to “Fasten your seat belts”.
None the less, I shall be watching the skies closely over the next few weeks.

Well, it has been over three weeks now (as of January 3rd) since he made that “most momentous” declaration! I wonder what’s taking so long…Wait, let me guess, another false blunder on his part? How come there is nothing in the night sky that would strike one as conspicuous; like a large bright start for instance.
You know, I’m really glad that he made such a statement because now he’s finally susceptible to some empirical validation (as he has been for thirty years in my opinion).
In 1982, he predicted that his revelation would be imminent, but that failed to materialize. And now on December 11th, he prophesied that in a few days (or possibly weeks) a star would appear. But alas like his previous fiasco, that hasn’t come to pass either. Do his followers learn nothing from the lessons of their own history? And the fact that Mr. Creme is a total quack?
False prophets, empires, kingdoms, rulers, principalities and false teachers have come and gone in the past two millenia, but the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ remains forever.

Thank you for your thoughts on Share International.
I have a family member who is a supporter of Creme and a practitioner of “transmission meditation”.
I have had countless conversations with him about this general topic. Two aspects seem to stand out:
1. the relationship of of Maitreya’s teachings and those of the God of Abraham. These conversations include the kind of concerns you bring up- a critique of Share International’s spiritual “policy”)
2. Share International’s public policy goals
(I recently started a blog to critique these sometimes explicit- other times implicit goals: http://share-international-and-public-policy.blogspot.com/)
These “conversations” just go ’round and ’round and never seem to get anywhere.
That’s why I decided to look for someone else to talk to about this- someone who wasn’t a “believer” in Maitreya- hence my comment here…
I take heart to discover that there are is in fact a discussion going on about this in the blogosphere.
I noticed you have a link to Berit Kjos. When I first tried a keyword search a while ago- this is the site I found. I found it to be a good site.
Thanks, again, for your post.
