Maitreya’s Messages: What does He ask of us? (excerpt)
Journalist Patricia Pitchon reflects on the appeal Maitreya makes through His Messages

January/February 2021
From 6 September 1977 until 27 May 1982 Benjamin Creme received a total of 140 messages from Maitreya during his weekly lectures at Friends House, Euston Road, London, through a process of mental overshadowing.

Too often, we ask much of spiritual teachers and guides, or of whatever divine power we may believe in, but how often do we think of and implement, however imperfectly, what is asked of us? Our excuses to ourselves range from “That is too difficult, why should I even try?” to “Oh yes, I will try that sometime”, and then the intention slips away.

Maitreya’s Messages have some unique characteristics. Each one has a certain declamatory style, full of gravitas, yet there is often a direct, almost intimate approach and a simplicity entirely devoid of pomposity.

Maitreya’s messages

In His first message, Maitreya addresses people as, “My brothers and sisters” and also as “My children, My friends”. He also tells us: “My manifestation is complete and accomplished. I am, verily, in the world.” He adds: “But there is much to do, much that needs changing in the world. Many hunger and die, many suffer needlessly”. And further: “I come to change all that; to show you the way forward — into a simpler, saner, happier life — together. No longer man against man, nation against nation, but together, as brothers, shall we go forth into the New Country.”

In His second message He speaks of “food which lies rotting in the storehouses of the world” and He offers His help to us as “Teacher, Protector, Friend and Guide”. Here also, Maitreya announces that the Masters who work with Him, The Masters of Wisdom, are also among us, and He asks us directly: “Help them in Their Work”. He explains: “Know, too, that They are building the New Age, through you.”

However, this does not happen by itself. When even a few gather together and begin to work for others — motivated by service rather than profit, personal ambition or a misplaced competitive rather than a co-operative spirit, answering the basic needs that enable men to live, to hope, to thrive — the Masters augment our efforts by sending Their energy. … Most urgent is the access to enough food and water, as well as shelter; but also help with education and training, which can take many forms, access to medical help, and even programs that enable people to meet, to talk, to share a meal and simply enjoy companionship. These efforts often develop into broader community efforts which, in turn, if successful, become blueprints which inspire others. Many people are stretching themselves beyond their own circle at this time, and the results, whether grand due to very generous donations or developing from modest beginnings, are bringing joy and genuine relief, even in the middle of a serious global pandemic.

So the task of salvation is evidently a collective and co-operative one, not one that Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom will accomplish on Their own. This aspect may be difficult to accept for those awaiting a Saviour who will save us single-handedly. The realization that we must help and act together for change to happen and for the creation of that “New Country” is indeed sobering. …

Just how much responsibility rests on our shoulders is something Maitreya clarifies in His third message: “Mine is the task to lead and guide, but you, willingly, must follow. Otherwise, I can do nothing. My hands are tied by Law. The decision rests with mankind.” …

Maitreya’s approach to humanity, part two (excerpt)
Alexander Douwes Dekker (Share International, June 2021)

During the World War, Maitreya was invoked by humanity, as people everywhere went through untold hardship and suffering, crying out for succour and liberation, calling on Him as the Messiah, the Christ, the Bodhisattva and the Coming Avatar. The World Teacher stands prepared to come forward, as the Embodiment of Love and manifesting Wisdom and Will.

Maitreya’s approach to humanity — part one (excerpt)
Alexander Douwes Dekker (Share International, January/February 2021)

“For some time, ever since 1425 AD, the Hierarchy has been aware that the time would come when this projected move would take place. Preparations have gone steadily forward." Mindful of the Plan of the Logos and the incoming Age of Aquarius, our Elder Brothers, the Masters of Wisdom, have been preparing Their return to the everyday world since that date.

Maitreya in the writings of Elisabeth Warnon (excerpts)
Claude Chaboche (Share International, July/August 2020)

There are 18 texts in Elizabeth Warnon’s five books about Maitreya. These show differences in tone and style. This might indicate that these texts were dictated to her by different Masters (in one of the passages it is explained that, “To work for one Master is to work for all the Masters because They are One”).

A gift from the Highest
The Master —, through Benjamin Creme (Share International, June 2015)

Men stand at a point of revelation, which soon will sweep away discordant voices and attitudes. They will know more keenly the meaning and purpose of their existence, and the means by which that knowledge is brought into their awareness.

A blueprint for sharing
The Master —, through Benjamin Creme (Share International, December 2013)

Some form of global sharing is essential if we are to survive. When the majority of men realize this, the major problems of the world can be solved.

Whither now?
The Master —, through Benjamin Creme (Share International, June 2013)

Men must come to realise that sharing is not simply a good and just idea but is essential if mankind is to survive. Only wise and just sharing will bring the peace which all men desire. For without sharing trust would never arise.

The coming transformation
The Master —, through Benjamin Creme (Share International, March 2012)

Gradually, men will come to understand that humanity is One, related by its common divinity. Under the inspiration and guidance of Maitreya and His group, men will blossom in their divinity and make that manifest in all they do.
