I met Kevin on the Monday afternoon of June 25,2007 at CO-OP RADIO on Carroll St--downtown Eastside Vancouver...this was the day after the so-called Vancouver 9/11 "Truth" Conference where I met ALFRED WEBRE on the Friday evening (June 22) of the first day of the conference--who I then CONFRONTED about his very extensive UN affiliations and his background to the STANFORD RESEARCH INSTITUTE (TAVISTOCK) and to RAND CORP--I also told him directly to his swarthy lizardlike face of my GREAT concern about the UN Agenda and also that the 9/11 INSIDE JOB lead DIRECTLY back to the JESUITS--KNIGHTS of MALTA--and of course BACK to The VATICAN...this is when he suddenly pulled back a few feet from me like I had just stabbed him in the chest and claiming voiciferously that I was completely WRONG as to what I was saying...at this time is when he admitted that his uncle,RICHARD CHISHOLM--a JESUIT,was the right hand SECRETARY to The SUPERIOR GENERAL Of The SOCIETY of JESUS---PEDRO ARRUPE'--during the SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL in 1962...I'm quite sure that I had upset him so much that he did NOT intend to have this come out because it is indeed a VERY damning admission to make...the very next day--I was banned from entering the MARITIME UNION HALL (1880 Triumph St) where this conference was being held..this was done by Alfred Webre himself and his ORDERS to Wayne Prante--the conference organizer--were overheard by one of the security people who then told me what was going on...I actually witnessed Wayne Prante calling the Vancouver PD and the RCMP using his cellphone in order to have me arrested and deported...this banning also was instigated by DR BILL DEAGLE and WILLIAM THOMAS--both of them knew I was to be in attendance and certainly--my reputation as an in-yer-face-activist preceded me....

Jewish persecution
Why did I present this? The reason is that a lot of hoopla have been spread over the internet that the Jewish people are this or the Jewish people are that and I know that's a lie. These anti-Jewish bigots don't make a difference between bad Jewish people (followers of the Talmud, Midrash, Noahite Laws, Zionist extremists, etc.) and good Jewish people (Messanic Jewish people, Jewish Christians, Jewish people who oppose the N.W.O., etc.)
These pseudo-patriot just label and branch all Jewish people as part of the conspiracy fact and reality which is just a much a lie as to say that no Jews are part of the conspiracy. I just wanted to show that Jewish like any other people suffered before in their heritage and struggle just like Blacks, Whites, Asians, Native Americans, etc. That's all. I also wanted to prove a point that it's wrong to presecute Jews as it is to presecute Palestianians. Two wrongs don't make a right.
It seems ironic that the majority of the presecution of the Jewish people from the early Middle Ages to WWII were done by the Roman Catholic Church. That's historical fact and that war criminal from Poland Pope John Paul II even apologized for his crimes against Jews, Protestants, and others recently.
1). During the Second Crusade at 1147, serveral hundred Jews were slain in Ham, Sully, Carentan, and Rameru (all located in France)
2). In 1337, starting in Deggendorf, Germany, a Jew-killing craze reaches 51 towns in Bavaria, Austria, and Poland.
3). IN 1389, at Prague, 3,000 Jews were slaughtered.
4). In 1391, at Archbishop Martinez's leading, 4,000 Jews were slain, and 25,000 were sold as slaves. Their identification was made easy by the brightly colored "badges of shame" that all Jews above the age of 10 had been forced to wear.
5). In the year 1492 (the year Columbus set sail to go to America) more than 150,000 Jews were expelled from Spain and many died on their way at 6/30/1492.
6). The Chmielntzi massarces occured at 1648 in Poland which killed about 200,000 Jews.
7). I know this genocide well from my research and the Jewish hero Michael Lehman exposing this: During WWII, Many Jews and Serbs died by the Catholic Ustasha head by Ante Pavelic, a practising Catholic and visited the Peope.300,000-600,000 Jews, Gypsies, and Serbs were executed with Children's eyes taken out and concentration camps for kids.
8). At the First Cruade, thousands of Jews were slaughtered at 1096 (with at least 12,000 dead) at Worms (5/18/1096), Mainz (5/27/1096), Cologne, Neuss, Altenahr, Wevelinghoven, Xanten, Moers, Dortmund, Kerpen, Trier, Metz, Regensburg, Prag and others (All locations were in Germany except Metz, France, and Prague, at the Czech Republic.
9). Diromg the Third Crusade, Jewish communities were sacked in England (1189-1190) and in Fulda, Germany, 34 Jewish men and women were slain.
There you have it. There are more troubles and crimes but this sufficient.

Mancow Waterboarded, Admits It’s Torture

May 24, 2009
And so it went Friday morning when WLS radio host Erich “Mancow” Muller decided to subject himself to the controversial practice of waterboarding live on his show.
Mancow decided to tackle the divisive issue head on — actually it was head down, while restrained and reclining.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
“I want to find out if it’s torture,” Mancow told his listeners Friday morning, adding that he hoped his on-air test would help prove that waterboarding did not, in fact, constitute torture.
The debate over whether waterboarding constitutes torture reached a fever pitch this week as re-ignited claims that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) knew as early as 2002 about waterboarding techniques being used, and former Vice President Dick Cheney and President Barack Obama gave “dueling speeches” Thursday.
Listeners had the chance to decide whether Mancow himself or his co-host, Chicago radio personality Pat Cassidy, would undergo the interrogation method during the broadcast. The voters ultimately decided Mancow would be the one donning the soaked towel and shackles, and at about 8:40 a.m., he entered a small storage room next to his studio that was compared to a “dungeon” by Cassidy.

Another Debate
My words are in bold
I said "Judaism" not "Jews". Judaism is a satanic doctrine based upon the Talmud (I believe you know this already), and Talmud is the sickest book out there, the most selfish, most obscene piece of literature (of religious literature at least, far surpassing any of overtly Satanic writings).
I know you said Judaism. I just use the term Jewish people to expand on Judaism. Judaism is an obsolete religion. I wouldn't call it Satanic since Judaism worships Yahveh as God. They worship God not Satan. It's just that Judaism rejects Jesus Christ as the Messiah, which I don't agree with it. As for the Talmud, some people claim degatory quotes about Jesus (and pedophilia, etc.) exists in it. Others deny it. What is the truth is that it's an unbiblical tradition that adds to the Word of God. By definition, I don't follow the Talmud. There are other writings that are Satanic as well. It's a double standard to single out the Talmud as fraudulent the ignore other writings that are much more anti-Christ than the Talmud is.
You just gotta ask - who owns all the Big Banks? Who owns the stock market? Who owns Big Corporations? Who owns the Media? And what group has centuries, nay, thousands of years of experience of self-supremacy, sacred group-egocentrism, radical racism and financial information sharing? Well... there is no one group to surpass the Talmudic Jews in either riches, the know-how, thought-control and even sacred immunity to never be blamed for anything (since the so called "Holocaust" was invented).
I do know who owns the banks. Finally, you outline your true colors. The people who own the banks are both Jewish people and Gentiles. They (who also own the stock market, coprorations, the media, etc) are mostly Gentiles in the Knights of Malta, the Pilgrims, high level Masonry, the CFR, Trilateralists, and the Bilderberg Group. These are groups that you omit in your words here. Gentile Roman Catholic Knight of Malta Gustavo Cisneros is a billionare, media magnate, and a member of the Pilgrim Society. Cisneros is the CEO of the Cisneros Group of Companies [very prominent in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands], which has large stakes in companies like Univision, AOL Latin America, DirecTV Latin America, and a score of other media companies. The head of FOX is the Papal Knight of St. Gregory Rupert Murdoch. Rev. Korean Gentile Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church owns them owns the Washington Post and UPI. Knight of Malta Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., is the president and CEO of the American Gaming. Knight of Malta Gentile William R. Burleigh is the Chairman and CEO of E.W. Scripps since 1999. Jewish people have power, but they don't have all of the power in these realms at all. Also, many organizations follow supremacy, egocentrism, racism, etc. Also, true Torah Judaism isn't about racism at all. It's funny you mention racism, but you seem to have religious bigotry against Judaism. The Vatican, the Black NObility families, and other groups have more cunning, wealth, and power than followers of Judaism. Also, most Jewish people or followers of Judaism don't use the Holocaust as an excuse at all for supplanting extreme political correctness in our society at all. You are using basic generalizations of people. The Holocaust is real and I won't let you slide on that. The Holocaust killed millions of Jews, Gypsies, blacks, Serbs, and others. The Catholic Ustashis murdered over 600,000 people alone. So, you are wrong to mock the existence of Holocaust.
And I don't hate any people, yet some make me angry :)) I mean it in a good way - I so love the truth but sometimes find myself not skilled enough to convey it, you know, about our Lord Jesus as well, that it makes me kinda angry (ahh, the frustration), and I wish that every person finds salvation in Jesus Christ, but Judaism ir just the worst thought pattern in history. Jesus fought them in his own time, Bible deals quite a lot with pharisees (sp.?) and the false Jews who are rejected by God for the false doctrine they hold, yet anyone can come to Jesus, so I don't discriminate the person, just the beliefs that are plain evil.Anyway, thank's for the article :)
You certainly act like you're trying to use generalizations since you call nearly all followers of Judaism as equivalent to Satanists. All humans needs to have salvation in Jesus Christ. I disagree with you placing the blame all on Judaism. I will never do that. Judaism is not the worst though pattern in history. Satanism, Hindusim, and atheism are much worst than apostate Judaism. Jesus Christ was a Torah following Jewish person. He disagreed with the Pharisees for the hypocrispy, them following the Midrash, and their evils (not because of their race). "False Jews?" Sorry, Jewish people from the Lemba, Sephradi, Yemeni, Ashkenazi real Jewish people exist then and now. Anyone regardless of their race who comes to the Lord for repentance isn't rejected. It's fine to criticize a false religion. It's not fine to generalize.

Bilderberg Agenda Exposed

Bilderberg Agenda Exposed
James P. Tucker Jr.
American Free Press
Friday, May 22, 2009
Bilderberg boys are a bunch of grumpy old men but remain fiercely dedicated to usurping sovereignty in the United States and throughout the world. Patriots can celebrate their setbacks but never let up: Bilderberg still threatens the sovereignty of all nations while fighting for world government.
Major goals remain exploiting the global recession and an imaginary “swine flu pandemic” to establish global departments of treasury and health under the United Nations. But at the May 14-17 meeting in Vouliagmeni, Greece, near Athens, Bilderberg took a keen interest in persuading the United States to surrender sovereignty to the International Criminal Court, or ICC.
Bilderberg is also setting up a “summit” in Israel June 8-11 so “the world’s leading regulatory experts” can “address the current economic situation in one forum,” said Zohar Goshen, chairman of a subgroup of the International Association of Securities Commissions (IOSCO). Mary Shapiro, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, will represent this country.
Bilderberg found President Obama a Willing Wilkie at its June, 2008 meeting in Chantilly, Va. near Washington. They were reassured when he chose their boy, Harold Koh, a strong advocate of the U.S. accepting the ICC, as the State Department’s top lawyer.
In the Penn State Law Review, Koh wrote sneeringly of “nationalists” who oppose surrendering sovereignty to international institutions, including the ICC. He praised the “transnationalist faction” on the Supreme Court and the wisdom of the jurists for their rejection of the “nationalist faction.”
“Generally speaking, the transnationalists tend to emphasize the interdependence between the United States and the rest of the world, while the nationalists tend instead to focus more on preserving American autonomy,” Koh wrote. “The transnationalists believe in and promote the blending of international and domestic law, while nationalists continue to maintain a rigid separation of domestic from foreign law.”
The “transnationalists view domestic courts as having a critical role to play in domesticating international law into U.S. law, while nationalists argue instead that only the political branches can internalize international law,”
Koh wrote. “Transnationalists believe that U.S. courts could and should use their interpretive powers to promote the development of a global legal system, while the nationalists tend to claim that U.S. courts should limit their attention to the development of a national system.”
Five Supreme Court justices have said, to Koh’s delight, that U.S. courts should take into consideration the rulings of foreign courts in deciding domestic cases. They are: John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
In a Bilderberg warm up, the Washington-based American Society of International Law called on the U.S to embrace the ICC. These luminaries
included former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, former Rep. Mickey Edwards and a roster of educated fools.
Carl Bildt, Sweden’s minister for foreign affairs, made a pitch for two other major Bilderberg goals: creating a global Department of Treasury and Department of Health, with all nations surrendering sovereignty over these issues to the UN. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is to become the Treasury Department and the World Health Organization the World Health Department. But Bildt seized on an old Bilderberg issue, global warming, to make the case for WHO. Bilderberg propaganda over a “swine flu pandemic” has fallen victim to facts: On average, 300,000 Americans develop flu each year and 30,000 die. Only a few have died or even been seriously afflicted by “swine flu.”
The world economic meltdown is a “once-in-a-generation crisis while global warming is a “once-in-a-millennium challenge,” Bildt told Bilderberg. Sources inside Bilderberg said Bildt’s speech mirrored an address he gave to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. Carnegie’s president, Jessica Mathews, is a long-time Bilderberg participant.
“We are at a critical time,” Bildt told Bilderberg. “The order of magnitude [of world crises] are more challenging than we are used to. The world economic recession has already reversed strong annual growth rates in many developing [poor] nations and in some parts of Europe and has the potential to bring down governments. . . . ”
“When we hit bottom, we can’t be sure where we’ll bounce back up,” Bildt said. “This is an urgent economic crisis unlike anything we have dealt with in living memory.” However, he called for a bounce-back within years, not a decade-long recession as some called for in efforts to exploit human misery.
Bildt then turned to selling global warming as the gateway to a World Health Department under the UN. Bilderberg boys, including David Rockefeller and others who inherited great wealth as the sons of smokestack industrialists, grabbed global warming as an issue more than a decade as a means of generating huge profits with investments to “save the planet.” Now, global warming has a new role.
“We know we need to take action,” Bildt said of global warming. “The global crisis is now,” he said. “The necessity to take action on climate change is now.” His calls for “global action” on these supposed “crises” were thinly disguised calls for UN control.
Bildt called for world (UN) solutions to virtually all problems. He cited the European Union as “model of integration, saying, “the EU is emerging as a global actor.” He advocates expanding NAFTA throughout the Western Hemisphere to create an “American Union.”
The International Monetary Fund sent a report to Bilderberg advocating its rise to the role of World Treasury Department. “Further actions by policymakers, particularly in the financial sector, are needed to restore market trust and confidence,” said Marek Belka, director of the IMF’s European department and former prime minister of Poland.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner enthusiastically endorsed the plan for a World Treasury Department, although he received no assurance that he would become its leader. He expressed “hope” that American and European leaders could “work together” to achieve such a “global solution” to the world economic meltdown.
The IMF’s planned new role as a world Treasury Department should be welcome news to the “little guy,” Geithner told Bilderberg. “The damage has been unfair and indiscriminant,” he said. “Ordinary Americans, small business owners and community banks who did the right thing and played by the rules are suffering from the actions of those who took on too much risk.”
But, even with a World Treasury Department, problems will not disappear overnight, Geithner warned. “These are all welcoming signs, but the process of financial recovery and repair is going to take time,” he said, lending his weight to a relative short-term recession as opposed to those who backed a long-term recovery. The people of Europe and America will have suffered enough to embrace a World Treasury Department, he said.
“Our hope is that we can work with Europe on a global framework, a global infrastructure which has appropriate global oversight,” Geithner said. “We can’t allow institutions to cherry-pick among competing regulators and ship risk to where it faces the lowest standards and weakest constraints.”
Bilderberg is fervently working to persuade the Irish to accept an even stronger Lisbon Treaty, which would create an even stronger European Union, creating a permanent (instead of rotating) chairman and a more powerful Parliament. The EU Parliament can even now impose laws on member states.
Irish voters rejected this EU expansion in an earlier referendum, but Bilderberg is pressing for another vote. Citizens of France and Germany overwhelmingly opposed the measure, numerous polls showed, but their heads of state signed off. Ireland requires a referendum before approval.
A meeting is planned June 18-19 in Brussels to cross t’s and dot i’s in an effort to induce Irish voters to reverse themselves and endorse the treaty. Under EU rules, all states must back a change for it to take effect. Bilderberg leaders plan a “private meeting” in advance of the formal session to push ratification.
“They’re going to make us vote until we vote their way,” said an Irishman protesting at the gates of Bilderberg, who feared reprisals if identified. There were a large number of European journalists fighting to expose Bilderberg and much is being published in Europe. Many were seized by police, surrounded by pointed guns and had their film and notes seized.
But The Times of London had a helpful story the opening day of the Bilderberg meeting, Thursday, May 14. “What we have been able to establish from a World Bank spokesman, Alexis O’Brien, that the organization’s president, Robert Zoellick, will be in Athens on unspecified business May 14,” the paper said. “And that U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s public schedule is mysteriously empty for the next two days. Jo Ackermann, head of Deutsche Bank, will be traveling “somewhere in Europe.’
Jean-Claude Trichet, head of the European Central Bank, will not be around until the end of the week.” (This was a moment when all journalists were striving to identify Bilderberg participants.)
“Jim Tucker, veteran stalker of the Bilderberg club meetings, claims that [Margaret] Thatcher was ordered “to dismantle British sovereignty, but she said ‘no way,’ so they had her sacked,” the paper said. (Events confirmed this, as did Lady Thatcher in a later conversation with Tucker.)

Only a few have died or even been seriously afflicted by “swine flu.”
The world economic meltdown is a “once-in-a-generation crisis while global warming is a “once-in-a-millennium challenge,” Bildt told Bilderberg. Sources inside Bilderberg said Bildt’s speech mirrored an address he gave to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. Carnegie’s president, Jessica Mathews, is a long-time Bilderberg participant.
“We are at a critical time,” Bildt told Bilderberg. “The order of magnitude [of world crises] are more challenging than we are used to. The world economic recession has already reversed strong annual growth rates in many developing [poor] nations and in some parts of Europe and has the potential to bring down governments. . . . ”
“When we hit bottom, we can’t be sure where we’ll bounce back up,” Bildt said. “This is an urgent economic crisis unlike anything we have dealt with in living memory.” However, he called for a bounce-back within years, not a decade-long recession as some called for in efforts to exploit human misery.
Bildt then turned to selling global warming as the gateway to a World Health Department under the UN. Bilderberg boys, including David Rockefeller and others who inherited great wealth as the sons of smokestack industrialists, grabbed global warming as an issue more than a decade as a means of generating huge profits with investments to “save the planet.” Now, global warming has a new role.
“We know we need to take action,” Bildt said of global warming. “The global crisis is now,” he said. “The necessity to take action on climate change is now.” His calls for “global action” on these supposed “crises” were thinly disguised calls for UN control.
Bildt called for world (UN) solutions to virtually all problems. He cited the European Union as “model of integration, saying, “the EU is emerging as a global actor.” He advocates expanding NAFTA throughout the Western Hemisphere to create an “American Union.”
The International Monetary Fund sent a report to Bilderberg advocating its rise to the role of World Treasury Department. “Further actions by policymakers, particularly in the financial sector, are needed to restore market trust and confidence,” said Marek Belka, director of the IMF’s European department and former prime minister of Poland.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner enthusiastically endorsed the plan for a World Treasury Department, although he received no assurance that he would become its leader. He expressed “hope” that American and European leaders could “work together” to achieve such a “global solution” to the world economic meltdown.
The IMF’s planned new role as a world Treasury Department should be welcome news to the “little guy,” Geithner told Bilderberg. “The damage has been unfair and indiscriminant,” he said. “Ordinary Americans, small business owners and community banks who did the right thing and played by the rules are suffering from the actions of those who took on too much risk.”
But, even with a World Treasury Department, problems will not disappear overnight, Geithner warned. “These are all welcoming signs, but the process of financial recovery and repair is going to take time,” he said, lending his weight to a relative short-term recession as opposed to those who backed a long-term recovery. The people of Europe and America will have suffered enough to embrace a World Treasury Department, he said.
“Our hope is that we can work with Europe on a global framework, a global infrastructure which has appropriate global oversight,” Geithner said. “We can’t allow institutions to cherry-pick among competing regulators and ship risk to where it faces the lowest standards and weakest constraints.”
Bilderberg is fervently working to persuade the Irish to accept an even stronger Lisbon Treaty, which would create an even stronger European Union, creating a permanent (instead of rotating) chairman and a more powerful Parliament. The EU Parliament can even now impose laws on member states.
Irish voters rejected this EU expansion in an earlier referendum, but Bilderberg is pressing for another vote. Citizens of France and Germany overwhelmingly opposed the measure, numerous polls showed, but their heads of state signed off. Ireland requires a referendum before approval.
A meeting is planned June 18-19 in Brussels to cross t’s and dot i’s in an effort to induce Irish voters to reverse themselves and endorse the treaty. Under EU rules, all states must back a change for it to take effect. Bilderberg leaders plan a “private meeting” in advance of the formal session to push ratification.
“They’re going to make us vote until we vote their way,” said an Irishman protesting at the gates of Bilderberg, who feared reprisals if identified. There were a large number of European journalists fighting to expose Bilderberg and much is being published in Europe. Many were seized by police, surrounded by pointed guns and had their film and notes seized.
But The Times of London had a helpful story the opening day of the Bilderberg meeting, Thursday, May 14. “What we have been able to establish from a World Bank spokesman, Alexis O’Brien, that the organization’s president, Robert Zoellick, will be in Athens on unspecified business May 14,” the paper said. “And that U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s public schedule is mysteriously empty for the next two days. Jo Ackermann, head of Deutsche Bank, will be traveling “somewhere in Europe.’
Jean-Claude Trichet, head of the European Central Bank, will not be around until the end of the week.” (This was a moment when all journalists were striving to identify Bilderberg participants.)
“Jim Tucker, veteran stalker of the Bilderberg club meetings, claims that [Margaret] Thatcher was ordered “to dismantle British sovereignty, but she said ‘no way,’ so they had her sacked,” the paper said. (Events confirmed this, as did Lady Thatcher in a later conversation with Tucker.)

Review and Critique of the film 'Esoteric Agenda'
From http://keithtruth.blogspot.com/2008/12/review-and-critique-of-film-esoteric.html
Review and Critique of the film 'Esoteric Agenda'
by Keith Thompson
The creator of the film is Ben Stewart. The film has good visual effects and imagery in many cases and also a fairly decent soundtrack. Ben seemingly seeks to expose the new world order, which is a good thing; however right off the bat he speaks about the new age and bonding with nature. I quickly realized that this is another new age zeitgeist type film.
After the intro and an explanation of symbolism, the film embraces the 2012 theories. The type of rhetoric Ben spouts is just a rehash of Michael Tsarion, Jordan Maxwell, and Zechariah Stitchin. My friend Chris White of www.zeitgeistchallenge.com has debunked the 2012 hysteria already here. The 2012 stuff is merely meant to get you to accept the new age of Aquarius that is supposedly approaching. This age is when the Theosophists and Freemasons intend to create a world system (new world order). Why then do so many people promote this new age? After proclaiming that we are in the age of Pisces and that the new age of Aquarius is going to be a great age of consciousness; he dives into attacking religion and claiming Christianity, Islam and Judaism merely replaced pagan religions that focus on astrology. Things to note thus far:
- Ben supports the new age of Aquarius and happily awaits it just like Freemasonry, Theosophy and intern, the new world order.
- Ben supports the occult operatives who externalize this information such as Tsarion and Maxwell.
He elaborates on his supposed evidence for pagan roots later. Next Ben examines the Illuminati which was founded in 1776. It is common to mix truth with lies. This trend is ramped with zeitgeist and the fake controlled occult new world order researchers in order to persuade you that they are against the pagan new world order, but really they advocate the same thing. Ben doesn't even get the Illuminati information correct though. He makes astounding claims but does not support them with documentation. He probably found them on a shoddy website. Ben states, "Rothschild instructed Weishaupt to create the ancient Illuminated sears of Bavaria, this is better known as order of the Illuminati." This claim is factually incorrect. Amcel Rothschild was a later member of the Illuminati and never instructed Weishaupt to create the order. Adam even bragged, "These people swell our numbers and fill our treasury, get busy and make these people nibble at our bait." It was Adam who inducted the Rothschild's and not vice versa. There is no evidence for Ben's claim. He has to lay that shoddy ground work though in order to persuade the viewer that the Illuminati pre-dates 1776 and thus created Christianity in it's previous bloodline. This is strictly fantasy and not supported by evidence however. Ben even quotes Nesta Webster who refutes his position. He quoted her saying, "People with money were welcomed but kept oblivious of actual secrets." Another inaccurate statement made by Ben is that he claims the congress of Wilhemsbad was in 1781. However it was held in July 16, 1782.
Next the film claims that circumcision, baptism, weddings, wedding rings, funerals, and the Holy grail are Pagan rituals; but provides no documentation or meaningful argumentation as to why he feels there is causality here. This type of rhetoric is problematic for anyone seeking truth and evidence. Sounds like he is repeating one of Jordan Maxwell's lectures perhaps. Until and unless Ben provides evidence for these assertions, he has not made an argument worth consideration.
Next he goes into word semantics. Ben claims that the name of the Egyptian God "Amun-Ra" developed into the word "Amen" at the end of a prayer. However "Amen" is Hebrew for "so be it". Our English translation is only similar to the English translation of the Egyptian word Amun. The Hebrew for "Amen" however is "אמן", and is pronounced 'aw-mane'. Amun is English reconstructed Egyptian "Yamānu." As you can see there is no connection. These people seem to think the Egyptians and Jews spoke English.
Another error is that Ben claims Israel is a word combination of the God's Isis (Is), Ra (ra), and El (el) spelling Israel. This poor argument comes from the Theosophist Jordan Maxwell. The problem is "Isis" is a reconstruction of her Egyptian name. The correct pronunciation of her name is "-uesat". Isis was not pronounced "Is-is" in ancient Egypt. That pronunciation comes from Greek and Coptic, languages that comes centuries after Hebrew. This is enough evidence to show how incorrect Ben is. Either Ben blindly repeats Maxwell's bad research, or he is lying to the viewer.
Next the film goes into some factual information of the global political structure that is striving for a one world government; but Ben shows a lecture of Michael Tsarion. A new age operative who defends H.P. Blavatsky, her Theosophy, and the Freemason Alister Crowley. Tsarion is also one of the main proponents, if not the main proponent of 'Astrotheology' which has been shredded to pieces in my film 'Zeitgeist Part One Exposed: The film.' Ben plays a clip of Tsarion saying, "They (the new world order) know all about astrology and the divination that we forgot...We don't know about the higher time to rule our own lives by." Here Tsarion is advocating that we all become new age astrologers. Intern Ben is advocating the same thing.
Next Ben asserts that the Illuminati can be traced back before 1776 but provides no evidence. He then asserts that the word "Nazi" is the name of one of the Anu Naki children in Sumerian texts. However Nazi is the short rendering of 'The National Socialist German Worker's Party. In German it's 'Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.' They called themselves Nazi's because the former was too long to always pronounce. This is poor evidence to try and trace the new world order before 1776. Ben mentions how the Nazi commander Heinrich Himmler was an occultist who read "ostara" by Adolf Josef Lanz (July 19, 1874 - April 22, 1954), a follower of Theosophy. Ostara promoted racial struggle and ethnic cleansing. Ben also talks about the Swastikas meaning. However Ben covers up the root source of these things. It is actually traced back to H.P. Blavatsky, the Satanic founder of Theosophy. She taught that the most powerful esoteric symbol was the Swastika. She claimed there were seven stages of human evolution; she called them “route races”. In Blavatsky’s teachings the Swastika was the symbol of the Aryan race. She was the founder of the 'perfect race' ideology, not Adolf Josef Lanz. Why would Ben cover up the true source of these ideas? The reason is because his other sources like Maxwell and Tsarion stole all of their esoteric information from Blavatsky and if Ben exposed Blavatsky, he would be exposing himself on how he follows the new age taught by Theosophy. Simple deception. In other words, Ben covered up Blavatsky as the root source because he and his sources support her information regarding the new age and the supposed esoteric meaning of the bible.
Ben tries to connect the Knights Templar to the Illuminati but with little success. He only offers assertions and therefor fails to prove that the Illuminati pre-dates 1776. But he has to do this in order for his other claims to make sense regarding the supposed Pagan relation to Christianity. Ben then admits that the new world order is Pagan and involved with mystery religions. But in the same breath he promotes the new age as if it is a positive thing. What he doesn't realize is that this supposed new age is engineered by the new world order and can easily be traced to Theosophy and 19Th century Freemasonry. These people are master deceivers and intend on bringing forth a world system for the new age of Aquarius under their Maitreya (world teacher). Yet Ben somehow believes that this new age is a good thing. Indeed, he is confused.
Much like Acharya S, Jordan Maxwell and Tsarion, Ben Stewart makes astonishing claims without supporting them with evidence. This is extremely troublesome and only makes the rest of the credible anti-nwo movement seem uncredible. I would advise Ben Stewart to not make any more films or publications unless he sources his material properly.
At around 1:11:00 of the film Ben glorifies William Cooper who I often cite in my work and exchanges. This angered me a lot because Bill was against what the film promotes in the new age and esoteric view of the bible and Christianity. Bill was a proud Christian. I was appalled to see Ben putting Bill in his film. Bill would not approve of this. Cooper even confronted Jordan Maxwell on his radio show about the supposed origin of Christianity. Bill made Jordan admit that Pagans later distorted Christianity in art but never founded the religion. Maxwell agreed.
Next Ben shows that he has no grasp on reality he states:
"The true history of this planet has been stifled from the top down. Since the inception of monotheism and the ridicule as well as outlaw in specific cultures of all Pagan religions and practices, a lie has been forced upon all civilizations. You have to wonder why powerful empires were threatened enough by Paganism to make the practice of such religions punishable by death. This threat didn't end during the Roman Empire..."
Ben seems to think that Paganism is not only true but that the Roman Empire was threatened by it. However the Roman Empire was Pagan! With their Paganism they wanted the world conquered. For the first 300 years of Christian history the empire was threatened, not by Paganism, but by Christianity; and the empire lead the most vicious slaughter upon Christians during that time. Ben seems to have no grasp on reality.
Ben claims to be against the "esoteric agenda" but he promotes and advocates the views of esoteric teachers such as Blavatsky, Hall, Bailey and Freemasonry's new age of Aquarius that is supported by the UN. This is simply reverse psychological propaganda and to add to the deception, he claims that monotheism is part of the esoteric agenda. Just the opposite is true. Monotheism pre-dates esotericism. Esotericism seeks to re-interpret ancient texts and beliefs. That's what esotericists do.
The last twenty minutes of the film is all new age solution and new age religion. Ben states:
"When you understand that there is a common spiritual bond between all things in the universe, and that we are all part of one divine intelligence; no phenomena is unexplainable. This simple understanding fills all the holes in modern religions... This means that consciousness shapes our reality."
Now notice how similar what Ben said is to what Randall N Baer said the new world order goals are:
"This agenda is nothing less than the complete revolutionizing of the very foundations of not only America but the entire world. Such a plan calls for the total restructuring of planetary civilization into an enlightened One World Federation in which national boundaries and sovereignty are secondary, and 'planetary citizenship' in the 'global village' is the order of the day."
Randall N Baer was murdered for speaking out against the Pagan nature of the new world order. A clear proof that this film is part of the esoteric agenda of the new world order is the following quote from Ben. He states:
"Traditions that were passed on through shamans, witch doctors, magicians, psychics and sears of all kind, became outlawed and ridiculed and given a stigma of something out of a Hollywood movie. Every religion explains that we are children of God and have Godliness inside of us. If you erase the anthropromorphized God and understand that God is nothing more the spiritual web that connects all things; all religious scriptures begin to make much more sense."
That is what esotericism is! It is looking at scriptures and re-interpreting them in a metaphorical way. This is what Theosophy teaches. This is what Freemasonry believes. This is the new world order new age religion. That is the deception being externalized today in many films and by many occult operatives.
So in short I have come to the conclusion that Ben Stewart is either badly deceived or is promoting the new world religion run by the elite. The esoteric view of Christianity is what is full of holes, not the real teachings in the Bible. In time everyone including Ben will see this to be true.

September-October 98 Liberator
The Rite of the Divine King
By William Schnoebelen
Ps. 49:20: “Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.”
A newsman said recently that every generation seems to have a watershed event that is fixed in their minds forever. For the baby-boomers like myself, it was the assassination of JFK. For our parents it was the Depression. Many are saying that for the Gen-X-ers, it will be the death of Princess Diana.
Diana has been canonized by the media as a saint. Diana has received much more press than has Mother Theresa, another famous woman who also died that week. Glamour plays better than an old woman in a robe. In a bookstore, I counted no less than 16 recent books on the late princess.
One would think that Diana had actually done something with her life besides marry into a royal family, have two children, attempt suicide, suffer from anorexia, commit adultery, get divorced and get killed in an accident. She did nothing particularly heroic that any young mother hasn’t done. Additionally, most mothers do not have bazillions of dollars and palaces with platoons of hot and cold running servants to cater to their every whim.
On the other hand, most young mothers are not trapped in marriages with a man possessing all the personality of a pine plank and “another woman” on the side. Neither do most mothers have to deal with swarms of journalists dogging their every move.
An Idol with Feet of Clay?
The point still stands that Diana did not do anything of any particular brilliance or compassion that literally thousands of young women do not do every day. Oh, but some say: “She was campaigning against land-mines.” So what? Her sense of social consciousness was nothing that many other women also experience. Many moms work for charitable causes. They only difference is that they do not have the world hanging on their every “good deed.”
This is the same Diana who, in the eighties, was spending enough money on dresses in a month to feed a family for a year! Nevertheless, the media is already assembling her “hagiography” (life of a saint). We are told that more people watched her funeral than any other event in history. Richard Attenborough, the director who managed to make a different media “saint”(?) with the film Ghandi, did a two-hour love-fest on Diana for network TV.
The media savants are speculating about why there was such a huge outpouring of sympathy and mourning for the death of this woman, who really did little of consequence in her life. Some have said it was because her death was the ultimate death of the fairy tale romance - like a Harlequin romance written by Stephen King.
Wrong King?
Others have said that it was because with Diana died the ancient archetype of the princess being carried off by a prince in shining armor “...and they all lived happily ever after.” Not only did she not live happily ever after, but neither her old prince (Charles) nor her new prince (Dodi Fayed) could protect her from the dragons.
Every woman who mourned Diana may have felt as if a stake had been driven through the heart of one of her great fantasies: “Someday my prince will come.” Of course, it is a pallid reflection of the fact that indeed, someday our Prince will come - and He will be the Prince of Peace - and He will carry His bride to a Kingdom where no sorrows will intrude; and they WILL live happily ever!
Everything that the world does is just a dismal reflection of Biblical truth. God has placed that yearning within the heart, not only of every woman, but every man. It is hard-wired into our souls. It is a desire to be carried off somewhere SAFE - beyond pain, beyond loneliness, by a powerful Prince whom we can love and live with forever.
But no crowns, no wealth, no thrones can protect you as King Jesus can. The net worth of Diana and Dodi was probably enough to be the budget for a small nation; yet it could not protect them from being smashed all over the highway.
In Diana, people see the death of hope, the death of the ultimate fantasy - that we can live and love as we please without paying the consequences. It is a bone-jarring reminder that indeed, “the wages of sin is death.” (Rom. 6:23) Diana may have been a princess, but she was sinner, just like us all. I pray that she had received Jesus as her Lord, but there is little evidence that she did.
Diana, as “sweet” as she was, never gave evidence of being Born Again. Even though she was married to the future head of the Church of England, she did not appear to be regenerated (neither does Charles!). Thus, in the Biblical sense, she was no more a saint than Anton LaVey, who also happened to die at that same time period.
Diana never professed to be saved by grace, through faith (Eph. 2:8-9). She never said that she knew for certain that she was going to heaven (1John 5:13). Sad as it is to say, Diana could be frying in hell. I certainly pray she is not. All we know is she gave no outward evidence of understanding the good news of Jesus Christ.
She had committed adultery while married to Prince Charles. Of course, he did it first; but nowhere does the Bible say it is okay for you to sleep around if your husband does. She also was evidently fornicating with the Dodi fellow at the time of their deaths. She was not a very likely candidate for sainthood according to the Bible.
The “Firm"
Diana began as a big media plus for the royal family (known as the “Firm”) - although obviously the Queen and the royals have lived to regret the “royal wedding of the century.” But there is a very sinister, occult side to the events surrounding Diana’s wedding AND death which is not well known.
Diana, Charles and their children figure very prominently in the plans of the New World Order and its moguls. What most people who have been so fascinated with “the Royals” fail to realize is that they have been involved in the occult for centuries. As far back as the days of William the Conqueror, there is evidence of involvement of the monarchy in witchcraft.(1)
For centuries, the King of England was also regarded, by virtue of his office, as being the Grand High Priest of Witchcraft for the Britons. The origins of such venerable institutions of the monarchy as the Order of the Garter are shrouded in the “sacred” trappings of witchcraft.(2) Many kings of England swore allegiance both to Catholicism (prior to Henry VIII) and to the gods of witchcraft!
Today, Prince Charles is reported to be a full-blown New Age “Twinkie” who works with Ouija boards. He talks to plants and uses seances to communicate with his dead uncle, Lord Mountbatten.(3) His father, Prince Philip is a rabid “tree-hugging” eco-fascist who makes Al Gore look like an environmental rapist. Philip, the husband of the “head of the Church of England and defender of the faith,” believes in reincarnation. He has stated that in his next life he would like to “come back” as a virus like AIDS or Ebola and wipe out most of the human race.
As witches in the 1970’s, we believed that there was something “magickal” about the royal family. Countless spells were done many covens to bring to pass an occult prophecy. When a woman would sit on the English throne bearing the name of the Great Mother Goddess, the child she would bear would be an incarnation of the celebrated King Arthur. We conjured tirelessly to bring this to pass. It would be analogous to the Second Coming of the Lord to a Christian.
A Fulfillment of Prophecy?
Along came Lady Diana Spencer. Of course, Diana is THE name of the goddess, even in the Bible (see Acts 19:35). Her bloodline is even more ancient and “royal” than Charles’ is. You need to realize that in the high levels of witchcraft and Illuminism, “royal bloodlines,” both well-known and not-so-well-known, are extremely important. The people are literally “bred” for the part. It is interesting that in common parlance, such “nobility” are known as “blue-bloods.”
There are various occult myths about the origins of noble blood and the “divine right of kings.” One, made popular in books in the last decade, involves the concept that Jesus had children by Mary Magdalene and that royal blood (especially the Merovingian line) is actually the lineage of Jesus. Supposedly there are nobility walking the earth today who are descended from Jesus (?).(4)
But remember that in recent years the “space aliens” of Roswell, etc. have bluish-green blood.(5) Of course they are supposed to be interbreeding with humans. Some have speculated that the way the idea of kings and royalty began was that the “gods from outer space” (Exod. 15:11, Ps. 82:6, Acts 14:11) came down and had relations with humans. Their offspring, which were “demigods” – half “god”, half-mortal - (i.e. Hercules), became the first celebrated kings – the “mighty men, men of renown” spoken of in Genesis 6. Of course, these “super-heroes” may have had some bluish-green blood in their veins.
In any event, Diana’s “charm” (originally a term in magic) was evident from the moment she stepped into the limelight. When we saw her, and heard her name, we hoped that she would be the fulfillment of the prophecy. Then, when the royal wedding took place in Lammastide, (6) we KNEW something was cooking. (Lammastide, from late July to early August, is the traditional time for witch weddings. Our own witch hand-fasting took place on the same date as the royal wedding, July 29, eight years earlier (1973).
Now, whether or not Diana even knew any of this, no one may ever know. We are not saying Diana was a witch. Perhaps she was not, but only being manipulated by her family and/or the royal family for their own ends. She seemed a sweet and innocent young lady. Many people with high-level occult backgrounds raise their children with no knowledge of their dark heritage, and then covertly arrange marriages with other families possessing carefully guarded bloodlines.
Few bloodlines are as guarded as those of the “firm.” Of course, the controversial doctrine of “British Israelitism” teaches that the British monarchy is actually the House of David. They believe that when Jesus returns, the throne of David will be in Westminster Abbey over the Stone of Destiny (supposedly the stone that Jacob slept on in Gen. 28).
Thus, Diana’s firstborn son, William (from our former occult perspective) would be very special indeed. He would not just be the heir apparent to the throne of England, he would also represent the confluence of two powerful occult bloodlines. Additionally, he would be sitting on the “throne of David.”
Vicarious Sacrifice?
Needless to say, Diana’s separation and subsequent divorce from Charles was a “bit of a sticky wicket” to both the royals and the New World Order. Diana was much more sympathetic and popular than her husband. Aside from the parliamentary crisis involved (an heir to the throne of England technically could not divorce and then remarry), it also meant that the precious Prince William would be primarily in the custody of Diana and not under the watchful eye of the royals at Buckingham Palace.
Diana’s subsequent involvement with the Muslim millionaire, Dodi Fayed, was probably more than anyone in the royal family could bear. Prince Philip, Diana’s ex-father-in-law, was reported to have been especially furious at the prospect of Princes William and Harry having an Arab stepfather.
From all we have learned, both before being saved and current research, we believe sincerely that Diana’s “accident” was not just an assassination, but a ritual sacrifice. It was certainly convenient for Charles and Queen Elizabeth that Diana would be out of the way. Once again the palace would have full control of the princes.
Even the place where Diana’s accident took place seems to have been especially chosen. The accident took place in a tunnel called Pont d’Alma.(7) This is a HUGE coincidence under the circumstances. The place on which the Pont d’Alma is built is an ancient, pagan sacrificial site - sacred to the moon goddess (DIANA). In the pagan Roman religion before Christ, Diana was the triple goddess, the “Queen of Heaven.” The term “al-mah” means moon goddess in many mid-eastern languages.
Additionally, since about the 6th century A.D., the Pont d’Alma has been associated with the Merovingian dynasty. Remember, those Merovingian kings were the ones supposedly possessing the blood of Jesus flowing through their veins.
During this Merovingian period (c. 500 - 751 A.D.) if two kings had a dispute over property, it had to be settled by combat at Pont d’Alma. Legend says that anyone killed there goes to heaven to sit at God’s right hand, being able to look down and see all that happened on the earth, even their enemies. Thus, the person killed was actually the victor, because they became God’s eyes on earth and could manipulate humanity from heaven. Isn't it interesting that this is where Diana just happened to be killed?
It is especially interesting in the light of the fact that Merovaeus, the founder of the Merovingian dynasty, was a devotee of the goddess Diana!
But why was Diana killed? Well, aside from the obvious fact that her death clears away a lot of the hassles the royals have been experiencing, there may be a deeper, more sinister reason.
Diana’s bloodline was even more pure ROYALTY than Charles’ is. She can trace her ancestry back to the Scottish House of Stewart (at least to King Charles II). The current Prince Charles’ ancestry is a mixture of Russian, German, and French along with the English. The House of Windsor was originally called Saxe-Coburg-Gothe, but the name was changed in 1917 because it sounded too German (8) – especially after the First World War.
In my book, WICCA, I document the doctrine in paganism and witchcraft of “The Rite of the Divine King.” (9) This belief is that the king is also witch high priest over all the land over which he reigns. In dire times, he must be killed as a sacrifice so that the land may be healed. Some scholars believe that several ancient kings of England were thus killed.
The idea behind this is that the king and the land are one from the standpoint of the Craft. The king is the living incarnation of the land over which he reigns. Thus, if the land is in bad shape, royal blood must be shed to heal the land. Originally, this would primarily be seen as things like crop failures, droughts, or problems with disease among cattle. Of course, today such things are of less concern than the fact that the monarchy itself was being imperiled by Diana’s antics.
However, remember the infamous “mad-cow” disease that afflicted thousands of livestock in the British Isles a couple of years ago. Farmers in Britain ended up having to kill millions of pounds worth of cattle because of the disease. Now that would really be something worthy of a divine king’s sacrifice. Traditionally, this sacrifice had to take place around the witch festival of Harvest Home (September 21).
There is significant precedent for someone dying in the place of the king - someone else preferably with noble blood. Some witches believe that Thomas a-Becket’s death was a vicarious sacrifice for Henry II, for example. To illustrate how well known is this concept of a substitute sacrifice, one only has to look at a popular film which has achieved “cult” status: THE WICKER MAN.
THE WICKER MAN was made in the early 1970’s in Britain, and had a lot of high power talent behind it. It was not just your garden variety “horror film.” The film is about a fictitious island (probably based on the Isle of Man) off the coast of Scotland. It is supposedly called Summerisle and is reigned over by a Lord Summerisle. A Scottish policeman is sent to the island investigate the disappearance of a young girl. He is a strict Presbyterian, but is part of the ROYAL constabulary.
The islanders seem oddly unconcerned about the child’s absence the policeman soon discovers that the entire island is made up of openly practicing pagans. It is a kind of Wiccan Disneyland. Lord Summerisle himself is the high priest of the island. In the end of the film it is revealed that the “Wicker Man” is a giant idol made of wicker which is filled with livestock and set afire as a sacrifice to pagan gods as part of the pagan festival. However, the surprise turn of events is that the girl was never really missing and that the constable was lured to the island to be a human sacrifice within the wicker man, because all the apple trees on the island had the blight.
The end of the film makes it extremely clear that Lord Summerisle (the high priest/king of the island) should have been the sacrifice but they lured the constable there instead. He qualified as a substitute sacrifice because he was a duly sworn representative of the CROWN of England. Remember, British police arrest you “in the name of the crown.” As the constable is left dying in the flames of the wicker man, he cries out to Lord Summerisle words to the effect that he had better watch out. If the apple trees did not improve, Summerisle would be in the wicker man next year!
To its credit, the film does not caricature the stern Christian constable too much; and he is seen going to his death as a noble martyr. But the point I wish to emphasize here is that this film played on the pagan concept that a vicarious substitute could be chosen to replace the actual high priest king.
Additionally, to create the rebirth of King Arthur in young Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor (born Summer Solstice 1982) would require some extremely powerful magickal energy indeed; which could only be raised by the ritual murder of a “divine king” or a “royal” substitute. In the light of all this, it is entirely possible that Diana was sacrificed in substitute for Charles’ ritual murder.
Also telling in this regard is that for the vicarious sacrifice to be effective, it would have to be done near – but before – the Harvest Home feast. August 31, the day of Diana’s accident does qualify.
The Dark Hand of Freemasonry
There are oddly “coincidental Masonic” elements to her death as well (not the least of which is the fact that right above the Alma tunnel is a replica of the torch from the Statue of Liberty (10) [a Masonic idol, sculpted by a French Freemason]). That torch actually symbolizes the “light” of Lucifer.
Another Masonic feature (possible just coincidence) is the fact that the Mercedes carrying Diana smashed into not just any pillar within the Alma tunnel, but the 13th pillar! Thirteen is very significant, both in Masonry and witchcraft.
A final grisly Masonic “coincidence” which has been pointed out by more than one writer is what was done the course of supposedly trying to save Diana’s life [after the torturously slow ride to the hospital – it took all of forty minutes to travel 3.8 miles (11)]. To work on and massage her heart, her chest was cut open from collarbone to navel. (12) This is the penalty of second degree in Masonry, to have your chest ripped open and your heart taken out.
Remember that both Charles and his mother, the Queen, are - by virtue of their leadership in the Order of the Garter (13) - the highest ranking Masons in the world - even though neither is actually known to be a Mason.
The Most Noble Order of the Garter is the most prestigious “chivalraic” order in the British Isles. The British monarch is – by virtue of his or her office – automatically the sovereign of the order. Queen Elizabeth was installed as a “lady” of the Order of the Garter on April 23, 1948 (her birthday) while still a princess. (14) When she became queen, she became the sovereign of the Order. On July 26, 1958, Prince Charles became a knight of the Order. (15)
This strange order of “Christian Knighthood” (is that an oxymoron?) was established by King Edward III and his son, Edward the “Black Prince” in 1348. (16) They were both descended from the French Plantagenets. The legend behind the Order’s founding has it that the King was at a ball in Calais, France in 1347. The young countess of Salisbury (Joan of Kent) happened to drop her garter in the middle of the dance. The king gallantly knelt down and picked it up, tying it around own his knee. It was at this point that he uttered the famous words: “Honi soit qui mal y pense.” (Shame on him who thinks evil of it). This is now the motto of the Order of the Garter. (17)
The result of this was the creation of a post-Arthurian round-table with 24 knights and then King Edward and his son (13 times two – the number of a grand coven). The missing piece of this odd puzzle is that the garter has been a symbol of a witch queen for millennia. The countess’ garter identified her with the pagan religion of witchcraft and Edward made a point of identifying himself with it. He even tied it on his leg.
This “witchy” number-system is carried through in the fact the garter of the Order is edged with two rows of 169 miniature gold buckles, exactly like the horseshoe shaped buckles on a witch queen’s garter. 169 is 13 x 13! The primary membership of the order consists of 26 knights (the monarch plus 12 knights and the Prince of Wales plus 12 knights). That is 13 x 2. This essentially shows through occult symbolism that the British sovereign (in this case, Queen Elizabeth) is a Witch Queen or King. An odd capstone to all of this occult numerology is the fact that Charles is the thirteenth Prince of Wales to be invested into the order.
To this day, the Order of the Garter remains one of the most elite societies and appears to be at pinnacle of English-speaking Freemasonry, if not all Masonry. The Garter itself appears on the coat of arms of both the Queen and Prince Charles. This is why the strange “Masonic overtones” to Diana’s death are so significant. Many high-ranking Masons in government and the military of the United Kingdom might feel it was their duty to eliminate Diana; just as 110 years ago, high-ranking Masons in the royal court created the “Jack the Ripper” murders to cover up another troublesome woman. (18)
This is not to say that Charles himself was behind her death. He may well be innocent. His grief when he learned of her loss appeared to be massive and sincere. It may have been “Her Majesty” who signed Diana’s death warrant, or it may have been the dark forces behind the monarchy itself. We may never know. The point is not necessarily to assign blame as it is to understand that there is a possible deeper occult sub-text to all of this intrigue than most people are willing to acknowledge.
There is, however, some strong evidence to implicate MI-6 (the British Secret Service) or at least some factions within MI-6 in the accident – even to the point of naming names. A mysterious shadow figure within the British intelligence community, Gunther Russbacher may be behind the accident. Though the official story is that Russbacher is now retired (he would be somewhere between 50 and 60 years of age), he did at one time run a team which specialized in killing people in strange ways, like automobile accidents.
In another strange twist in an increasingly bizarre chain of “coincidences,” Russbacher was born near Salzburg, Austria on a red marble altar in a small chapel. That chapel contains the bodies of all the Knight Templar Grand Masters. In simple terms, his birth was surrounded by some sort of Templar ritual. The Templars, of course, are strongly connected with this Merovingian bloodline and its protection and have been for nearly a millennium. (19) They are also strongly and historically linked to Freemasonry! (20)
In any event, it is evident that Diana’s death was not an accident. As soon as we heard of her death, we knew it was an occult sacrifice. Every piece of evidence that emerged bears that out. This only illustrates the lengths that dark forces (whether British intelligence or some shadowy figures of unknown origin) will use to achieve their goals.
There is creditable evidence out there for Charles being a candidate for the anti-Christ. (21) Cohen, in his excellent book, gives an exhaustive list of reasons why he might be considered. This even goes down to Charles’ “heraldic achievement” or coat of arms, which Cohen researched thoroughly. Many of the Biblical features of the Great Beast are present in the coat of arms, something which is strange, to say the least. If not Charles, then perhaps Prince William – as we were told as witches. We normally do not get into “Let’s identify the Anti-Christ” games, but right now he is more likely than any public figure. Note how Charles’ popularity “magically” shot up after Diana’s funeral.
In the meantime, Diana is being turned into a cult figure rivaling even that of the dead Elvis! To paraphrase Acts, we are hearing: “Great is Diana of the Britons.” I would not be surprised if we started hearing of “appearances” of “Lady Diana,” similar to those of the virgin Mary which now dot the globe, either through demonic power or though holograms. (22) This new goddess would, of course, preach the global gospel of the New Age. They would be just another deception and distraction to draw peoples’ eyes away from the coming of the TRUE King of Kings, Jesus Christ.

September-October 98 Liberator
The Rite of the Divine King
By William Schnoebelen
Ps. 49:20: “Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.”
A newsman said recently that every generation seems to have a watershed event that is fixed in their minds forever. For the baby-boomers like myself, it was the assassination of JFK. For our parents it was the Depression. Many are saying that for the Gen-X-ers, it will be the death of Princess Diana.
Diana has been canonized by the media as a saint. Diana has received much more press than has Mother Theresa, another famous woman who also died that week. Glamour plays better than an old woman in a robe. In a bookstore, I counted no less than 16 recent books on the late princess.
One would think that Diana had actually done something with her life besides marry into a royal family, have two children, attempt suicide, suffer from anorexia, commit adultery, get divorced and get killed in an accident. She did nothing particularly heroic that any young mother hasn’t done. Additionally, most mothers do not have bazillions of dollars and palaces with platoons of hot and cold running servants to cater to their every whim.
On the other hand, most young mothers are not trapped in marriages with a man possessing all the personality of a pine plank and “another woman” on the side. Neither do most mothers have to deal with swarms of journalists dogging their every move.
An Idol with Feet of Clay?
The point still stands that Diana did not do anything of any particular brilliance or compassion that literally thousands of young women do not do every day. Oh, but some say: “She was campaigning against land-mines.” So what? Her sense of social consciousness was nothing that many other women also experience. Many moms work for charitable causes. They only difference is that they do not have the world hanging on their every “good deed.”
This is the same Diana who, in the eighties, was spending enough money on dresses in a month to feed a family for a year! Nevertheless, the media is already assembling her “hagiography” (life of a saint). We are told that more people watched her funeral than any other event in history. Richard Attenborough, the director who managed to make a different media “saint”(?) with the film Ghandi, did a two-hour love-fest on Diana for network TV.
The media savants are speculating about why there was such a huge outpouring of sympathy and mourning for the death of this woman, who really did little of consequence in her life. Some have said it was because her death was the ultimate death of the fairy tale romance - like a Harlequin romance written by Stephen King.
Wrong King?
Others have said that it was because with Diana died the ancient archetype of the princess being carried off by a prince in shining armor “...and they all lived happily ever after.” Not only did she not live happily ever after, but neither her old prince (Charles) nor her new prince (Dodi Fayed) could protect her from the dragons.
Every woman who mourned Diana may have felt as if a stake had been driven through the heart of one of her great fantasies: “Someday my prince will come.” Of course, it is a pallid reflection of the fact that indeed, someday our Prince will come - and He will be the Prince of Peace - and He will carry His bride to a Kingdom where no sorrows will intrude; and they WILL live happily ever!
Everything that the world does is just a dismal reflection of Biblical truth. God has placed that yearning within the heart, not only of every woman, but every man. It is hard-wired into our souls. It is a desire to be carried off somewhere SAFE - beyond pain, beyond loneliness, by a powerful Prince whom we can love and live with forever.
But no crowns, no wealth, no thrones can protect you as King Jesus can. The net worth of Diana and Dodi was probably enough to be the budget for a small nation; yet it could not protect them from being smashed all over the highway.
In Diana, people see the death of hope, the death of the ultimate fantasy - that we can live and love as we please without paying the consequences. It is a bone-jarring reminder that indeed, “the wages of sin is death.” (Rom. 6:23) Diana may have been a princess, but she was sinner, just like us all. I pray that she had received Jesus as her Lord, but there is little evidence that she did.
Diana, as “sweet” as she was, never gave evidence of being Born Again. Even though she was married to the future head of the Church of England, she did not appear to be regenerated (neither does Charles!). Thus, in the Biblical sense, she was no more a saint than Anton LaVey, who also happened to die at that same time period.
Diana never professed to be saved by grace, through faith (Eph. 2:8-9). She never said that she knew for certain that she was going to heaven (1John 5:13). Sad as it is to say, Diana could be frying in hell. I certainly pray she is not. All we know is she gave no outward evidence of understanding the good news of Jesus Christ.
She had committed adultery while married to Prince Charles. Of course, he did it first; but nowhere does the Bible say it is okay for you to sleep around if your husband does. She also was evidently fornicating with the Dodi fellow at the time of their deaths. She was not a very likely candidate for sainthood according to the Bible.
The “Firm"
Diana began as a big media plus for the royal family (known as the “Firm”) - although obviously the Queen and the royals have lived to regret the “royal wedding of the century.” But there is a very sinister, occult side to the events surrounding Diana’s wedding AND death which is not well known.
Diana, Charles and their children figure very prominently in the plans of the New World Order and its moguls. What most people who have been so fascinated with “the Royals” fail to realize is that they have been involved in the occult for centuries. As far back as the days of William the Conqueror, there is evidence of involvement of the monarchy in witchcraft.(1)
For centuries, the King of England was also regarded, by virtue of his office, as being the Grand High Priest of Witchcraft for the Britons. The origins of such venerable institutions of the monarchy as the Order of the Garter are shrouded in the “sacred” trappings of witchcraft.(2) Many kings of England swore allegiance both to Catholicism (prior to Henry VIII) and to the gods of witchcraft!
Today, Prince Charles is reported to be a full-blown New Age “Twinkie” who works with Ouija boards. He talks to plants and uses seances to communicate with his dead uncle, Lord Mountbatten.(3) His father, Prince Philip is a rabid “tree-hugging” eco-fascist who makes Al Gore look like an environmental rapist. Philip, the husband of the “head of the Church of England and defender of the faith,” believes in reincarnation. He has stated that in his next life he would like to “come back” as a virus like AIDS or Ebola and wipe out most of the human race.
As witches in the 1970’s, we believed that there was something “magickal” about the royal family. Countless spells were done many covens to bring to pass an occult prophecy. When a woman would sit on the English throne bearing the name of the Great Mother Goddess, the child she would bear would be an incarnation of the celebrated King Arthur. We conjured tirelessly to bring this to pass. It would be analogous to the Second Coming of the Lord to a Christian.
A Fulfillment of Prophecy?
Along came Lady Diana Spencer. Of course, Diana is THE name of the goddess, even in the Bible (see Acts 19:35). Her bloodline is even more ancient and “royal” than Charles’ is. You need to realize that in the high levels of witchcraft and Illuminism, “royal bloodlines,” both well-known and not-so-well-known, are extremely important. The people are literally “bred” for the part. It is interesting that in common parlance, such “nobility” are known as “blue-bloods.”
There are various occult myths about the origins of noble blood and the “divine right of kings.” One, made popular in books in the last decade, involves the concept that Jesus had children by Mary Magdalene and that royal blood (especially the Merovingian line) is actually the lineage of Jesus. Supposedly there are nobility walking the earth today who are descended from Jesus (?).(4)
But remember that in recent years the “space aliens” of Roswell, etc. have bluish-green blood.(5) Of course they are supposed to be interbreeding with humans. Some have speculated that the way the idea of kings and royalty began was that the “gods from outer space” (Exod. 15:11, Ps. 82:6, Acts 14:11) came down and had relations with humans. Their offspring, which were “demigods” – half “god”, half-mortal - (i.e. Hercules), became the first celebrated kings – the “mighty men, men of renown” spoken of in Genesis 6. Of course, these “super-heroes” may have had some bluish-green blood in their veins.
In any event, Diana’s “charm” (originally a term in magic) was evident from the moment she stepped into the limelight. When we saw her, and heard her name, we hoped that she would be the fulfillment of the prophecy. Then, when the royal wedding took place in Lammastide, (6) we KNEW something was cooking. (Lammastide, from late July to early August, is the traditional time for witch weddings. Our own witch hand-fasting took place on the same date as the royal wedding, July 29, eight years earlier (1973).
Now, whether or not Diana even knew any of this, no one may ever know. We are not saying Diana was a witch. Perhaps she was not, but only being manipulated by her family and/or the royal family for their own ends. She seemed a sweet and innocent young lady. Many people with high-level occult backgrounds raise their children with no knowledge of their dark heritage, and then covertly arrange marriages with other families possessing carefully guarded bloodlines.
Few bloodlines are as guarded as those of the “firm.” Of course, the controversial doctrine of “British Israelitism” teaches that the British monarchy is actually the House of David. They believe that when Jesus returns, the throne of David will be in Westminster Abbey over the Stone of Destiny (supposedly the stone that Jacob slept on in Gen. 28).
Thus, Diana’s firstborn son, William (from our former occult perspective) would be very special indeed. He would not just be the heir apparent to the throne of England, he would also represent the confluence of two powerful occult bloodlines. Additionally, he would be sitting on the “throne of David.”
Vicarious Sacrifice?
Needless to say, Diana’s separation and subsequent divorce from Charles was a “bit of a sticky wicket” to both the royals and the New World Order. Diana was much more sympathetic and popular than her husband. Aside from the parliamentary crisis involved (an heir to the throne of England technically could not divorce and then remarry), it also meant that the precious Prince William would be primarily in the custody of Diana and not under the watchful eye of the royals at Buckingham Palace.
Diana’s subsequent involvement with the Muslim millionaire, Dodi Fayed, was probably more than anyone in the royal family could bear. Prince Philip, Diana’s ex-father-in-law, was reported to have been especially furious at the prospect of Princes William and Harry having an Arab stepfather.
From all we have learned, both before being saved and current research, we believe sincerely that Diana’s “accident” was not just an assassination, but a ritual sacrifice. It was certainly convenient for Charles and Queen Elizabeth that Diana would be out of the way. Once again the palace would have full control of the princes.
Even the place where Diana’s accident took place seems to have been especially chosen. The accident took place in a tunnel called Pont d’Alma.(7) This is a HUGE coincidence under the circumstances. The place on which the Pont d’Alma is built is an ancient, pagan sacrificial site - sacred to the moon goddess (DIANA). In the pagan Roman religion before Christ, Diana was the triple goddess, the “Queen of Heaven.” The term “al-mah” means moon goddess in many mid-eastern languages.
Additionally, since about the 6th century A.D., the Pont d’Alma has been associated with the Merovingian dynasty. Remember, those Merovingian kings were the ones supposedly possessing the blood of Jesus flowing through their veins.
During this Merovingian period (c. 500 - 751 A.D.) if two kings had a dispute over property, it had to be settled by combat at Pont d’Alma. Legend says that anyone killed there goes to heaven to sit at God’s right hand, being able to look down and see all that happened on the earth, even their enemies. Thus, the person killed was actually the victor, because they became God’s eyes on earth and could manipulate humanity from heaven. Isn't it interesting that this is where Diana just happened to be killed?
It is especially interesting in the light of the fact that Merovaeus, the founder of the Merovingian dynasty, was a devotee of the goddess Diana!
But why was Diana killed? Well, aside from the obvious fact that her death clears away a lot of the hassles the royals have been experiencing, there may be a deeper, more sinister reason.
Diana’s bloodline was even more pure ROYALTY than Charles’ is. She can trace her ancestry back to the Scottish House of Stewart (at least to King Charles II). The current Prince Charles’ ancestry is a mixture of Russian, German, and French along with the English. The House of Windsor was originally called Saxe-Coburg-Gothe, but the name was changed in 1917 because it sounded too German (8) – especially after the First World War.
In my book, WICCA, I document the doctrine in paganism and witchcraft of “The Rite of the Divine King.” (9) This belief is that the king is also witch high priest over all the land over which he reigns. In dire times, he must be killed as a sacrifice so that the land may be healed. Some scholars believe that several ancient kings of England were thus killed.
The idea behind this is that the king and the land are one from the standpoint of the Craft. The king is the living incarnation of the land over which he reigns. Thus, if the land is in bad shape, royal blood must be shed to heal the land. Originally, this would primarily be seen as things like crop failures, droughts, or problems with disease among cattle. Of course, today such things are of less concern than the fact that the monarchy itself was being imperiled by Diana’s antics.
However, remember the infamous “mad-cow” disease that afflicted thousands of livestock in the British Isles a couple of years ago. Farmers in Britain ended up having to kill millions of pounds worth of cattle because of the disease. Now that would really be something worthy of a divine king’s sacrifice. Traditionally, this sacrifice had to take place around the witch festival of Harvest Home (September 21).
There is significant precedent for someone dying in the place of the king - someone else preferably with noble blood. Some witches believe that Thomas a-Becket’s death was a vicarious sacrifice for Henry II, for example. To illustrate how well known is this concept of a substitute sacrifice, one only has to look at a popular film which has achieved “cult” status: THE WICKER MAN.
THE WICKER MAN was made in the early 1970’s in Britain, and had a lot of high power talent behind it. It was not just your garden variety “horror film.” The film is about a fictitious island (probably based on the Isle of Man) off the coast of Scotland. It is supposedly called Summerisle and is reigned over by a Lord Summerisle. A Scottish policeman is sent to the island investigate the disappearance of a young girl. He is a strict Presbyterian, but is part of the ROYAL constabulary.
The islanders seem oddly unconcerned about the child’s absence the policeman soon discovers that the entire island is made up of openly practicing pagans. It is a kind of Wiccan Disneyland. Lord Summerisle himself is the high priest of the island. In the end of the film it is revealed that the “Wicker Man” is a giant idol made of wicker which is filled with livestock and set afire as a sacrifice to pagan gods as part of the pagan festival. However, the surprise turn of events is that the girl was never really missing and that the constable was lured to the island to be a human sacrifice within the wicker man, because all the apple trees on the island had the blight.
The end of the film makes it extremely clear that Lord Summerisle (the high priest/king of the island) should have been the sacrifice but they lured the constable there instead. He qualified as a substitute sacrifice because he was a duly sworn representative of the CROWN of England. Remember, British police arrest you “in the name of the crown.” As the constable is left dying in the flames of the wicker man, he cries out to Lord Summerisle words to the effect that he had better watch out. If the apple trees did not improve, Summerisle would be in the wicker man next year!
To its credit, the film does not caricature the stern Christian constable too much; and he is seen going to his death as a noble martyr. But the point I wish to emphasize here is that this film played on the pagan concept that a vicarious substitute could be chosen to replace the actual high priest king.
Additionally, to create the rebirth of King Arthur in young Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor (born Summer Solstice 1982) would require some extremely powerful magickal energy indeed; which could only be raised by the ritual murder of a “divine king” or a “royal” substitute. In the light of all this, it is entirely possible that Diana was sacrificed in substitute for Charles’ ritual murder.
Also telling in this regard is that for the vicarious sacrifice to be effective, it would have to be done near – but before – the Harvest Home feast. August 31, the day of Diana’s accident does qualify.
The Dark Hand of Freemasonry
There are oddly “coincidental Masonic” elements to her death as well (not the least of which is the fact that right above the Alma tunnel is a replica of the torch from the Statue of Liberty (10) [a Masonic idol, sculpted by a French Freemason]). That torch actually symbolizes the “light” of Lucifer.
Another Masonic feature (possible just coincidence) is the fact that the Mercedes carrying Diana smashed into not just any pillar within the Alma tunnel, but the 13th pillar! Thirteen is very significant, both in Masonry and witchcraft.
A final grisly Masonic “coincidence” which has been pointed out by more than one writer is what was done the course of supposedly trying to save Diana’s life [after the torturously slow ride to the hospital – it took all of forty minutes to travel 3.8 miles (11)]. To work on and massage her heart, her chest was cut open from collarbone to navel. (12) This is the penalty of second degree in Masonry, to have your chest ripped open and your heart taken out.
Remember that both Charles and his mother, the Queen, are - by virtue of their leadership in the Order of the Garter (13) - the highest ranking Masons in the world - even though neither is actually known to be a Mason.
The Most Noble Order of the Garter is the most prestigious “chivalraic” order in the British Isles. The British monarch is – by virtue of his or her office – automatically the sovereign of the order. Queen Elizabeth was installed as a “lady” of the Order of the Garter on April 23, 1948 (her birthday) while still a princess. (14) When she became queen, she became the sovereign of the Order. On July 26, 1958, Prince Charles became a knight of the Order. (15)
This strange order of “Christian Knighthood” (is that an oxymoron?) was established by King Edward III and his son, Edward the “Black Prince” in 1348. (16) They were both descended from the French Plantagenets. The legend behind the Order’s founding has it that the King was at a ball in Calais, France in 1347. The young countess of Salisbury (Joan of Kent) happened to drop her garter in the middle of the dance. The king gallantly knelt down and picked it up, tying it around own his knee. It was at this point that he uttered the famous words: “Honi soit qui mal y pense.” (Shame on him who thinks evil of it). This is now the motto of the Order of the Garter. (17)
The result of this was the creation of a post-Arthurian round-table with 24 knights and then King Edward and his son (13 times two – the number of a grand coven). The missing piece of this odd puzzle is that the garter has been a symbol of a witch queen for millennia. The countess’ garter identified her with the pagan religion of witchcraft and Edward made a point of identifying himself with it. He even tied it on his leg.
This “witchy” number-system is carried through in the fact the garter of the Order is edged with two rows of 169 miniature gold buckles, exactly like the horseshoe shaped buckles on a witch queen’s garter. 169 is 13 x 13! The primary membership of the order consists of 26 knights (the monarch plus 12 knights and the Prince of Wales plus 12 knights). That is 13 x 2. This essentially shows through occult symbolism that the British sovereign (in this case, Queen Elizabeth) is a Witch Queen or King. An odd capstone to all of this occult numerology is the fact that Charles is the thirteenth Prince of Wales to be invested into the order.
To this day, the Order of the Garter remains one of the most elite societies and appears to be at pinnacle of English-speaking Freemasonry, if not all Masonry. The Garter itself appears on the coat of arms of both the Queen and Prince Charles. This is why the strange “Masonic overtones” to Diana’s death are so significant. Many high-ranking Masons in government and the military of the United Kingdom might feel it was their duty to eliminate Diana; just as 110 years ago, high-ranking Masons in the royal court created the “Jack the Ripper” murders to cover up another troublesome woman. (18)
This is not to say that Charles himself was behind her death. He may well be innocent. His grief when he learned of her loss appeared to be massive and sincere. It may have been “Her Majesty” who signed Diana’s death warrant, or it may have been the dark forces behind the monarchy itself. We may never know. The point is not necessarily to assign blame as it is to understand that there is a possible deeper occult sub-text to all of this intrigue than most people are willing to acknowledge.
There is, however, some strong evidence to implicate MI-6 (the British Secret Service) or at least some factions within MI-6 in the accident – even to the point of naming names. A mysterious shadow figure within the British intelligence community, Gunther Russbacher may be behind the accident. Though the official story is that Russbacher is now retired (he would be somewhere between 50 and 60 years of age), he did at one time run a team which specialized in killing people in strange ways, like automobile accidents.
In another strange twist in an increasingly bizarre chain of “coincidences,” Russbacher was born near Salzburg, Austria on a red marble altar in a small chapel. That chapel contains the bodies of all the Knight Templar Grand Masters. In simple terms, his birth was surrounded by some sort of Templar ritual. The Templars, of course, are strongly connected with this Merovingian bloodline and its protection and have been for nearly a millennium. (19) They are also strongly and historically linked to Freemasonry! (20)
In any event, it is evident that Diana’s death was not an accident. As soon as we heard of her death, we knew it was an occult sacrifice. Every piece of evidence that emerged bears that out. This only illustrates the lengths that dark forces (whether British intelligence or some shadowy figures of unknown origin) will use to achieve their goals.
There is creditable evidence out there for Charles being a candidate for the anti-Christ. (21) Cohen, in his excellent book, gives an exhaustive list of reasons why he might be considered. This even goes down to Charles’ “heraldic achievement” or coat of arms, which Cohen researched thoroughly. Many of the Biblical features of the Great Beast are present in the coat of arms, something which is strange, to say the least. If not Charles, then perhaps Prince William – as we were told as witches. We normally do not get into “Let’s identify the Anti-Christ” games, but right now he is more likely than any public figure. Note how Charles’ popularity “magically” shot up after Diana’s funeral.
In the meantime, Diana is being turned into a cult figure rivaling even that of the dead Elvis! To paraphrase Acts, we are hearing: “Great is Diana of the Britons.” I would not be surprised if we started hearing of “appearances” of “Lady Diana,” similar to those of the virgin Mary which now dot the globe, either through demonic power or though holograms. (22) This new goddess would, of course, preach the global gospel of the New Age. They would be just another deception and distraction to draw peoples’ eyes away from the coming of the TRUE King of Kings, Jesus Christ.

COULD THIS BE THE ANTICHRIST?
COULD THIS BE THE ANTICHRIST?
The concept of a coming World Teacher who sets up a Golden Age on earth can be found in many world religious systems as well as in the literature of the occult...
While certain aspects of Benjamin Crème’s endless and tireless promotion of the Maitreya seem almost laughable, derived from a B Grade science fiction movie, one can not entirely dismiss all of his claims, many of which are based in a monstrous evil long ago foretold by Scripture, and little understood by those claiming a wonderful New Age is about to dawn. Crème is just one more cog in the wheel of the world wide preparation for the anti-christ... one more tool in the hands of an evil he can not possibly imagine.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or every object of worship, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? [2 Thessalonians 2:3-5]
Who is Maitreya?
In short Maitreya is one of the Ascended Masters.
Derived from the Theosophical concept of Masters of Wisdom or "Mahatmas", Ascended Masters are believed to be spiritually enlightened beings who in past incarnations were ordinary humans with physical bodies, but who have undergone a process of spiritual transformation. They have reached a sufficiently high level of spiritual awareness that they are capable of remaining on the earth-plane by choice and not by necessity. They have chosen to serve as the teachers of mankind from the realms of spirit … connected with souls on earth to guide them. "They are the true teachers of mankind, directing the spiritual evolution of all those who desire to reunite with divine consciousness, or God”. [1]
The web site of Share International, who’s stated main purpose is to “present information about the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher and his message of hope for the future” equates Maitreya with the prophesied figures of multiple religious traditions says… [Emphasis Added]
“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. 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.
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.... 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”. [2]
and
At this time of great political, economic and social crisis Maitreya will inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, and global cooperation. He will launch a call to action to save the millions of people who starve to death every year in a world of plenty. Among Maitreya's recommendations will be a shift in social priorities so that adequate food, housing, clothing, education, and medical care become universal rights. Under Maitreya's inspiration, humanity itself will make the required changes and create a saner and more just world for all”. [3].
And When Is He Supposed to Arrive?
Share International claims that he is already present in the world, but is preparing to make an open declaration of his presence in the near future. They claim that he has not come alone, but with a group of “wise Teachers who have long guided humanity from behind the scenes”, and that “They are returning to the everyday world to help us solve our most critical global problems”.
They further add that Maitreya himself has said:
'Soon, now very soon, you will see my face and hear my words.'
Compare this with Alice Bailey’s claim that “The Son of God is on His way, and He cometh not alone. His advance guard is already here, and the Plan which they must follow, is already made clear”. [4].
In fact an excerpt from an October 2008 article from Share International magazine, by an anonymous “senior member of the Hierarchy of Masters of Wisdom” who dictated his article to Benjamin Crème, co-editor of Share International, says..
For many years We, your Elder Brothers, have warned men of the dangers of blindly following market forces which, themselves, are blind. Thus, the present widespread economic and financial crisis should not be unexpected. The ‘bubble’ created by competition and greed had, inevitably, to burst. Yet the ‘men of money’ who built this towering edifice on shifting sands are stunned by the outcome, are at a loss to understand the reasons for the catastrophe and are already looking for better ways of continuing the same folly.
The people of the countries worst hit by the recent events, however, know well the reasons for the collapse, and are angry in the knowledge that it is they who will suffer hardship and want in the months and years ahead.
Maitreya, waiting patiently in the wings, sees this as a ‘window of opportunity’ which allows Him to emerge openly and begin His outer mission. Thus, the long wait for His emergence is almost over. Very soon indeed now men will hear Maitreya’s call for action and for change. [5]
Creme talks about Maitreya being the 1st and 2nd initiations who "prepares the way" for this "Lord of the World" - "Sanat Kumara", the third initiation. David Spangler another Blavatsky/Bailey disciple makes no bones about the identity of this initiator. He calls this the "Luciferic Initiation." [TOP OF PAGE]
Benjamin Creme
Benjamin Creme of Share International (a non-profit educational group with sister groups in over 20 countries) [See Details] has long been the principal source of information about the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and has travelled the globe “helping to create a climate of hope and expectancy for the World Teacher”. Creme, who was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1922, claims that Maitreya is an Ascended Master, a perfected being who will appear on the scene out of nowhere and take advantage of a pre-existent global power structure that will immediately give him support.
in an interview with Rollin Olson, Creme replied to a query about the origin of his information...
“ Much of it comes from the Theosophical teaching, which was introduced by Madame Blavatsky between 1875 and 1890. Her major opus, The Secret Doctrine, embodies the preparatory teaching given to the world for the new age which is now dawning. The Alice Bailey teachings are the intermediate phase. Maitreya Himself brings the next, the Revelatory, phase”. [6]
And, in the same interview, responded to a question of who we are really, with the words:
“We are really gods in incarnation. We need to recognize our threefold constitution: We are a spark of God; every religion has postulated this and has kept the idea of our divinity before humanity for thousands of years.” [6]
[See Footnote II: Theosophy].
In an article entitled Benjamin Creme: a messenger of hope, Share International says...
“Throughout his early years Creme also studied various aspects of esoteric philosophy, in particular the teachings released in the late 1800s through Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society, and more recently through Alice A. Bailey. Although these teachings led him to believe in the existence of the Masters of Wisdom, a group of perfected individuals who are the custodians of the Divine Plan for this planet. it nevertheless came as a complete surprise to him when, in 1959, he was contacted by one of the Masters. He was told, among other things, that Maitreya, the World Teacher, the Master of all the Masters, would return in about 20 years and that he (Creme) would have a role to play in the event if he chose to accept it.
More than a decade later, in 1972, Creme began a period of arduous training under his Master's direction to prepare him for his coming task: announcing to a skeptical world the emergence of the World Teacher, awaited by people of every religion under his various names ― the Christ, Messiah, Imam Mahdi, Krishna, Maitreya Buddha. Creme's constant contact with a Master of Wisdom gives him access to up-to-date information on Maitreya's emergence, plus the total conviction needed to present this story”. [7].
Benjamin Creme describes how the telepathic link between him and his duplicitous crony was strengthened… [Emphasis Added]
“Towards the end of 1972, when I was rather in the doldrums and least expecting it, that wise and wily one whom I have the privilege to call Master, pounced. He took me in hand, and subjected me to the most intensive period of de-glamorisation, disillusioning, training and preparation. For months we worked together, 20 hours a day, deepening and strengthening the telepathic link until it was two-way with equal ease requiring the minimum of his attention and energy. He forged in this period an instrument through whom he could work, and which would be responsive to his slightest impression (of course, with my complete cooperation and without the slightest infringement of my free will). Everything I see and hear, he sees and hears. When he wishes, a look from me can be a look from him; my touch, his. So, with the minimum expenditure of energy he has a window on the world, an outpost of his consciousness; he can heal and teach. He himself remains, in a fully physical body, thousands of miles away”. [8]
And what does Scripture say? [Emphasis Added]
“ Regard not them who have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:31). [TOP OF PAGE]
Transmission Meditation
In March 1974, the “wise and wily one” gave Creme a list of 14 names of people to invite to a talk at his home on "meditation and allied subjects." Crème says they all showed up and he [Emphasis Added]
“.. talked about the Hierarchy of Masters, about meditation, and its role in bringing about soul contact. Under instruction, I presented them with the following offer: I invited them to take part in a group work in which their occult meditation would proceed under the guidance of a Master of the Wisdom, in exchange for which they would act as transmitters of the Hierarchical energies, thus forming a bridging group between Hierarchy and the disciples in the field.
The Master arranged a short transmission to show them what was involved. Twelve of the fourteen agreed, two feeling that they were not ready for this kind of work.” [8]
What is interesting in this travesty of the original 12 disciples, is that this is yet another example of Satan parroting the original. In one account there is even “a Council of One Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand: A tribunal of Ascended Masters administering the program of the ‘Ancient of Days’.” [9] And the Mormon church isn’t far behind…
“Twelve men ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood office of apostle constitute the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the second-highest presiding quorum in the government of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”.
Overshadowing
“At the beginning and end of every lecture Benjamin Creme is overshadowed by Maitreya for about 20 minutes each time. In this way Maitreya releases his energy to the audience as a special spiritual nourishment or blessing. Many people who have some degree of clairvoyance have seen this, but until now we have not had photographs of the event.
This photograph was taken on 26 September 2001 in Amsterdam at Benjamin Creme's lecture. The photographer, Ellen Bernards, was sitting in the front row on the left of the hall and took the picture just as the initial overshadowing by Maitreya was beginning.
When the photograph was developed she noticed that instead of two people on the platform ― Mr. Creme and the translator ― there are three figures. Mr. Creme, wearing a jacket and tie, was facing the audience, whereas the mysterious figure is facing the camera; he has no tie and the first few buttons of his shirt are open”. [10] [TOP OF PAGE]
Present Day Materializations?
It is claimed that Maitreya has made many appearances since his first sudden appearance in June 1988 at a prayer meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, with a supposed 19 appearances in 2001 alone.
“On 11 June 1988, a man suddenly appeared before a vast crowd in Nairobi, Kenya, gathered to witness healing prayers. Instantly recognizing the tall, white-robed figure as "Jesus Christ," the crowds fell down overcome with emotion. The tall figure of a barefooted white-robed and bearded man appeared from nowhere and stood in the middle of the crowd. He was walking slowly towards the new church building away from the tent. Mary walked with him, side by side. I stared at the stranger without blinking. Strange, sporadic light wafted on top of his turbaned head, his feet and his entire body….In clear Swahili, which had no traces of accent, the strange man announced that the people of Kenya were blessed, especially those who had gathered at the venue that afternoon. "We are nearing the time for the reign of heaven. But before that I shall come back and bring a bucketful of blessings for all of you," the man said”. [11]
Other say
“Maitreya, in Buddhism, the future Buddha, a Buddha who will be reborn in a period of decline to renew the doctrine of the founder of Buddhism, the Buddha. Maitreya is believed to be a bodhisattva, one who refuses entry into nirvana, a transcendent state free from suffering, out of a compassionate desire to help others. At present, he is believed to reside in Tushita Heaven, where he awaits his rebirth which is expected to occur in 30,000 years”. [12] [TOP OF PAGE]
Benjamin Crème - Meeting The Maitreya
In an interview with Art Bell, on Bell's widely syndicated talk show the night of July 10/11, 1998, Benjamin Crème was asked he had physically met with Maitreya in London. To which he replied:
I have, but not in his real form. I met him, uh, as a woman, a refugee woman in a train in London with a child and she, heheh, so-called "she", asked me for some money, I gave her some money. The child looked miserable and she went up and down the, the uh, train, you know, begging, but ("Yes...") in the carriage where I met her there was no one else in the carriage so she wasn't making much money. And uh, the child actually was the Master Jesus. And this sort of happening occurs all the time. The Masters work together. Maitreya and the Master Jesus seem to be incredibly close and they work together all the time. Sometimes one is a man. The other time the other one is a man, and so on... they change positions and change appearance and so on.
Creme says the last time he met Maitreya was in California, where “he appeared as uh, I suppose you would say as a modern day, slightly hippie, quite casually dressed, but nicely dressed, uh, with a little bomber jacket on and uh, and a hat and he asked me for a couple of dollars to, for gas for his uh, truck. [13] [TOP OF PAGE]
Signs and Wonders?
At his November 25, 1997 Los Angeles Press Conference Benjamin Crème presented three categories of evidence to support his claim that Maitreya and the Masters are here and ready to help solve our most critical problems. One of these categories is “… a continuous wave of miraculous events … already been reported by news media” although “reported as separate phenomena, without knowing that these events all have a common cause: Maitreya and the Masters”. Some of the phenomena attributed to Maitreya and the Masters by Crème are in his own words…
The visions of the Madonna, which for example appear to the children at Medjugorje every evening and give them secrets, similar visions which have occurred in many countries, wherever there are Christian groups around the world. [Also See The Marian Apparitions: Divine Intervention or Delusion?]
Statues which weep real tears and blood.
The statues which open their eyes and close them again.
The 35-foot rainbow-colored Madonna which adorns a bank in Florida, -- which was vandalized and has restored itself to its original pristine color.
The icon of Jesus in Sydney, Australia, [on?] a large crucifix which leaks liters of pure olive oil.
The 40-foot-high crosses of light which adorn a fundamentalist Christian Baptist church in Tennessee.
Holy messages, when housewives cut the vegetables they find that the seeds of the food are rearranged and spell out "Allah is great, Mohammed is his prophet.
Healing waters which have appeared worldwide, as at Tlacote in Mexico, some of the most miraculous cures from cancer and AIDS down to warts and boils have been miraculously cured in this way. (Eventually, there will be 777 of such healing wells, distributed all over the world, and this will have a most profound effect on the health of humanity in the future).
The Lebanese Moslem child who weeps razor-sharp crystals, and yet absolutely harmless. She said that a man on a white horse, dressed in white, told her that this was going to take place and not to be frightened, and that it was a great spiritual sign for the Moslems of Lebanon.
And what Crème called “one of the greatest miracles that the world has ever seen, on the widest possible scale” ….
“The "milk miracle" which occurred in the Hindu community, north, south, east and west, wherever Hindus did puja in September, 1995, the milk was offered to the gods and the milk disappeared. It looked in every case as if the statutes lapped up the milk, it disappeared in seconds. In New Delhi everything stopped. Parliament closed, millions of people took to the streets with their cans of milk -- in fact, after four days they ran out of milk. Of course, these gods made of wood and teak and bronze and copper and so on did not drink the milk. The miracle was not that they drank the milk. The miracle is that the milk disappeared. It was made to disappear by Maitreya and a group of Masters who specialize in this particular type of miracle”. [14]
So what does the Bible say about these so called signs and wonders? In one short verse .. Mark 13:22 (repeated in Matthew 24:24) God effectively wipes out all of Crème’s posturing, fake miracles and torrent of words. [Emphasis Added]
for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. [TOP OF PAGE]
Creme and The Reappearance of ‘the Christ’
Benjamin Creme, who has written some fifteen books [See Footnote III], wrote his first, The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom, in 1980... in which he “made the startling announcement that the Christ, as World Teacher for the coming age, is already among us ― gradually emerging into full public recognition”. (The book also supposedly “clarifies misunderstandings” about the anti-christ and the 'last judgement').
According to the following quotes from the book, the infiltration of the government by Luciferic agents is already a reality today (which I do not doubt for a moment). These agents, we are told, are directed by the Hierarchy of Ascended Masters and are working together to bring about the New World Order right under our noses..
From these existing groups (New Age plants) in all fields of work — political, religious, social, scientific, educational and cultural — will be formed a nucleus who will be trained directly by the Master himself. Gradually they will be called upon for help and advice by governmental agencies, and their effective power to influence governmental decisions will increase.
Administrative and Governmental positions will be offered to certain members of the inner group who can then directly implement the needed changes. In this way a gradual transformation of society will be made...
The Hierarchy has plans already made and ready to put into effect. These involve the reconstruction of the world financial and economic order. A group of high initiates, themselves economists, industrialists, and financial experts of great experience and achievement, are working with the Hierarchy and have evolved a series of blueprints, alternative inter-related plans, which will solve the redistribution problems which are at the basis of the present world crisis. These can and will be speedily implemented when the need is seen and accepted, which acceptance will be forced on the United Nations of the world by the weight of a now informed public opinion. The cry for help and justice from the poor and starving nations will be too loud and too dramatic to ignore. [Pgs. 34-35] [Also See Ascended Masters]
Creme also says [Emphasis Added]
"When the Christ returns, he will not at first reveal his Presence, nor will the Masters who precede him; but gradually, steps will be taken which will reveal to men that there lives among them now a man of outstanding, extraordinary potency, capacity for love and service, and with a breadth of view, far beyond the ordinary. Men and women, all over the world, will find themselves drawn into the awareness of the point in the modern world wherein this man will live; and from that centre of force will flow the True Spirit of the Christ, which will gradually reveal to men that he is with us.
Those who can respond to his presence and his teaching will find themselves somewhat reflecting this love, this potency, this breadth of vision, and will go into the world and spread abroad the fact that the Christ is in the world, and that men should look to that country from which a certain teaching is emanating. This will take place in a very, relatively, short period of time, and will lead to conclusive evidence that the Christ is in our midst. [15]
Additionally Crème would have us believe that
Jesus Christ never left the world.
“There is a tremendous misunderstanding about the anti-Christ, certainly among Christian groups. They expect the Christ "at the end of the world." Actually, He came at the end of the age, not the end of the world. At the end of the world, when the whole world is disintegrating, they expect Him to come down on a cloud into Jerusalem. They think He is sitting up in heaven but the Christ has been no nearer "heaven" than the high Himalayas, 17,500 feet up, for the last thousands of years. And it is from there that He comes into the world, not from this mythical heaven. Heaven is a state of being. The kingdom of heaven is within, as Jesus Himself taught. It is the Spiritual Hierarchy of which He is a member. [16]
“It is an enormous, and embarrassing, claim to have to make ― that the Christ is giving messages through oneself. But if people can rid their minds of the idea of the Christ as some sort of spirit, sitting in "heaven" at God's right hand; if they can begin to see him as indeed he is, as a real and living man (albeit a divine man) who has never left the world; who descended, not from "heaven," but from his ancient retreat in the Himalayas, to complete the task he began in Palestine; as a great Master; an Adept and Yogi; as the chief actor in a Gospel Story which is essentially true, but much simpler than hitherto presented;” [17]
The Bible disagrees. Albert Barnes has summarized what Scripture tells us of Jesus’ Ascension, which was referred to in several places in the NT. See for example Romans 10:6.
It was forty days after his resurrection. [Acts 1:3],
He ascended from the Mount of Olives, near Bethany. [Luke 24:50; Acts 1:12].
It was in the presence of all the apostles. [Luke 24:50; Acts 1:9-10].
He was received into a cloud, and ascended to heaven. [Acts 1:9, Acts 1:11; Luke 24:51; Ephesians 1:20-22].
Besides which Jesus had earlier spoken of His ascension as an established fact, once to his disciples before his death and once to . Mary Magdalene immediately after his resurrection
Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. [John 20:17 ]
What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before? [John 6:62]
Acts 1: 9-11 is even more specific.. telling us that while the apostles were gazing upwards after a cloud had hidden Jesus from their site, an angel appeared and asked why they were looking into Heaven as Jesus would come back in just the same way as they saw Him go. Revelation 1:7 adds that every eye shall see him…
And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.
Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen. [Revelation 1:7]
No “ancient retreat in the Himalayas”, no sly appearances to a few gatherings around the world, no Indian community in London and certainly no chance meeting on the underground. When He returns there will be NO day of declaration, but every eye shall see him… including those that pierced him… The living and the dead.
BTW. When the Evangelists say that he was taken up or that he ascended, does not necessarily imply that they locate heaven directly above the earth;
Note: Alice Bailey also wrote a book called The Reappearance of The Christ.. However Creme and Alice Bailey’s ‘Christ’ has little in common with that of mainstream Christian churches and might be "of no particular faith at all". [Details]
According to Creme...
Jesus is an Ascended Master
In the above mentioned interview... The Ageless Wisdom teaching, Interview with Benjamin Creme, by Rollin Olson, Crème was asked how the hierarchy is structured .. whether they have a leader or work as a group, to which he replied that they
“share a consciousness; They have no separate consciousness as personalities. They can never say "I," because They have no sense of I. They are a group with group consciousness. At Their head is the Master of all the Masters, whose personal name is Maitreya. He was foretold to come now by the Buddha: 2,500 years ago Gautama Buddha made a prophecy that at this time would come another great Teacher, a Buddha like Himself, Maitreya by name, who would inspire humanity to create a new and brilliant, golden civilization, based on righteousness and truth. There are 60 Masters, and three Great Lords, as They are called. Maitreya is one of these three. Maitreya holds the office of World Teacher, and embodies the energy we call the Christ Principle or Consciousness, the second aspect of the Christian trinity.
Two thousand years ago He overshadowed His disciple Jesus for three years and Jesus became Jesus the Messiah, or, translated into the Greek, Jesus the Christ. The Christ Himself is Maitreya. His consciousness, from the baptism to the crucifixion, manifested through Jesus and inaugurated the Piscean age which is now coming to an end. Maitreya has come back into the world now to carry on what He began through Jesus, and will complete in the age of Aquarius which is now beginning”.
And goes on to say
“Jesus taught through Mohammed; as Maitreya had taught through Him, so He taught through Mohammed. The Buddha taught through the Prince Gautama and Mithra, and Maitreya also taught through Krishna and Shankaracharya at previous times”. [16]
Who Will Reform The Church
In The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom Creme wrote:
The Master Jesus is going to reform the Christian churches. [p. 85]
He is one of the Masters Who will very shortly return to outer work in the world, taking over the throne of St. Peter, in Rome. He will seek to transform the Christian Churches, in so far as they are flexible enough to respond correctly to the new reality which the return of the Christ and the Masters will create. [p. 46]
As Warren Smith righty says in the update to Chapter 4 of Reinventing Jesus….
“Many recent translations and paraphrases of the Bible—like Eugene Peterson’s The Message—play right into Maitreya’s “Master Jesus” scenario. Unfortunately, many popular church leaders—like Rick Warren—choose to use these newer translations and paraphrases. In Deceived on Purpose I wrote:
Sadly, many of the newer Bible translations and paraphrases used by Rick Warren have often dropped the words “Lord” and “Christ” from Jesus’ title and have substituted the word “Master.” This obviously plays directly into the hands of a false Christ, like Maitreya, who will be trying to convince the world—and particularly Christians—that Jesus is not the Lord Jesus Christ but simply the “Master Jesus.”…”
He gives one example of this very subtle softening up process…
“The King James translation of Revelation 22:20-21 at the very end of the Bible is:
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
The Message paraphrase is:
Yes! Come, Master Jesus!
The grace of the Master Jesus be with all of you. Oh, Yes!
…Max Lucado in his recent book Cure for the Common Life: Living in Your Sweet Spot, quotes Colossians 3:17 from The Message paraphrase that makes reference not to the “Lord Jesus” as in most Bible translations, but to the “Master Jesus.” [18]
Additionally Creme’s beliefs about Lucifer are also textbook Theosophy [See Footnote II: Theosophy]. According to Creme (and Blavatsky)
Lucifer
”... is seen by Christian groups as the devil. It is nothing of the kind! Lucifer is really the name of the great angel who ensouls the human kingdom. Every human soul is an individualized part of one great oversoul. The name of that great oversoul, which is divine, is Lucifer. [19]
Adding that the Biblical story of Adam and Eve was just “a metaphor” that has been misinterpreted… and
It was not a fall from grace but a deliberate part of the plan of evolution, that the human souls had to give up "paradise", living in pralaya, a wonderful paradisaical state of endless bliss, and "eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge" -- take incarnation on the physical plane in these as-yet-animal men. That is what happened, and that has been misinterpreted as a fall from grace: that Lucifer was a great angel but he rebelled against God and thought he was as good as God, and so was put out of heaven. It is a story, only a story, and totally misinterpreted. It is really the story of the incarnation of the human evolution. [19]
Creating The ‘Right’ Conditions For The Return:
The underlying and sole purpose behind all of the organizations that started with Alice Bailey and the Lucis Trust (the Arcane School, Triangles, World Goodwill, Lucis Publishing, Lucis Productions, Lucis Trust Libraries, the New Group of World Servers etc.) is to prepare the world for "the return of the Christ".
Of the New Group of World Servers Crème says
“When he came before in Palestine, the Christ found that there were not enough servers, disciples, in the world through whom he could work, who could have prepared the way for him, and through whom he could construct the new civilization of the time…. In 1922, therefore, he inaugurated the New Group of World Servers, which is the most important group existing in the world, although it has no outer form or organization. Each member of it is related subjectively (i.e. on the inner, soul level) to Hierarchy; they know and understand the Plan and their part in it”. [20]
Since, according to Alice Bailey’s ectoplasmic friend Djwhal Khul (The Tibetan), “humanity itself must first produce the conditions in consciousness and in world affairs essential to the eventual physical appearance of the Christ”, they seek to raise spiritual awareness, especially through meditation. Their belief is that they receive divine energy through meditation; this energy is transmitted to humanity, particularly at the Full Moon is when spiritual energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy.

Share International certainly agrees [All Emphasis Added]
“Students who have incorporated meditation as a regular part of their daily routine should learn to avail themselves fully of the increased opportunities for contact which become available during the time of the full Moon. During these monthly recurring periods it is as if a door is being opened which normally stands closed. This door may then be entered, providing access to energies otherwise not available, and thereby improving the possibility of approaches to the Masters. This period of stimulated activity stretches over about five days — two days prior to the full Moon, the peak of the forces on the day of the full Moon, and the two subsequent days of shrinking activity. [21]
Crème adds
“The Shamballa Force… is released each year by the Buddha at the Wesak Festival in May” [22]
[Also See The Legend of Wesak]
Maitreya’s Future Coming.. Peaceful or Destructive?
Maitreya’s coming will be supposedly characterized by a number of physical events, and on his "Day of Declaration" he will go on international television worldwide and telepathically every human being will hear (in his or her native language) his message for his plan to transform humanity. In fact Creme says this day will be a reenactment of Pentecost.
"Maitreya will be invited by the international media to speak directly to the entire world through the television networks linked together by satellites. On this Day of Declaration, we will see his face on the television screen wherever we have access. The biblical statement, 'All eyes will see him,' will be fulfilled, in the only way in which it can be fulfilled. We will see his face, but he will not speak. His thoughts, his ideas, his call to humanity for justice, sharing, right relationships and peace, will take place silently, telepathically. Each of us will hear him inwardly in our own language. In this way, he will re-enact on a worldwide scale the true happenings of Pentecost 2,000 years ago... In celebration of this event, Pentecost will become one of the major festivals of the New World Religion which, eventually, Maitreya will inaugurate." [23]
The thrust of Maitreya’s message is that because of his compassionate desire to help others, humanity can be guided back onto the right path, and through working with the Masters, bring new technology into our lives to bring these changes about. The Maitreya Project site says
“Maitreya will manifest in our world as a radiantly beautiful spiritual teacher inspiring people to practice the path of virtue, especially loving-kindness”. [24]
After the Day of Declaration
Several Masters of Wisdom will join Maitreya on the world stage. Each will have different functions depending upon his particular line of work. Some will teach, while others will be concerned more with world problems of a political & economic nature. Still others will inspire the new architecture, painting & music, while the attention of some will be directed to science & the inspiration of the new 'holistic' science, integrating science & religion. A Master (Mahatma) is simply a master over himself & the forces of nature. None of them wish to be worshipped or idolized. Eventually common man too will be able to do what they can do now. For the first time in countless millennia, they will be serving humanity openly in the world, rather than from behind the scenes as they do now. Maitreya does not intend to build a new religion around himself, nor to create followers, but to teach humanity the Art of Self-Realization. [25]
However while Creme and others portray this Maitreya as a peaceful world teacher there are some conflicting ideas. For example
Alice Bailey, in an address at the Arcane School Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, suggested that the "Shamballa force", the force from the invisible dimensions led by the Lord Maitreya will be "destructive." It will also, she said, eject unbelievers from the earth:
"The decision to release the Shamballa force during this century into direct contact with the human kingdom is one of the final and most compelling acts of preparation for the New Age. The Shamballa force is destructive and ejective ... inspiring new understanding of The Plan.. It is this force ... which will bring about that tremendous crisis, the initiation of the race into the mysteries of the ages. (Alice Bailey, The Externalizing the Mysteries, pt. 1 p.171) [Details HERE]
The Dalai Lama, who believes the Maitreya who will emerge as a world leader and teacher also initiates thousands into the highest levels of Buddhism, fundamental to which is the Kalachakra-Tantra, which very specifically prophesizes that 25th Kalki king will emerge from Shambhala with a huge army to vanquish "Dark Forces" and usher in a worldwide thousand-year Golden Age. In other words it predicts yet another bloody war in which the ‘barbarians’ will be defeated. The original text describes the Buddhist war-methods as “merciless” and “cruel”. It says: “The supremely ferocious warriors will throw down the barbarian hordes” and “eliminate” (them). (Shri Kalachakra I. 163/165) [See The Dalai Lama]
Also note that although Creme says
“Maitreya emerged from His center in the Himalayas, when least expected, "like a thief in the night". He took up residence in the Indian-Pakistani community of London. He has been living and working there, seemingly as an ordinary man, His true status known to relatively few. He has been emerging gradually into full public view so as not to infringe humanity's free will”. [26]
However the following observation is very telling...
“Creme says this master is not a subscriber to any religion, yet his master is from the Himalaya’s well known for its occult roots and Hinduism. He also moved supposedly where he would be least noticed, into an Indian community which again shows a connection of his ethnicity to this belief system of Hinduism. The language and the practices taught by this Tibetan master of the occult are clearly Hinduistic, which is the only religion in the world that promulgates a pantheistic system, a belief of God in all things and we are gods. For all their altruism and idealism there’s not much honesty in putting their cards on the table”. [27]. [TOP OF PAGE]
Misleading The Elect
One question asked on the FAQ page of Share International is why, when Maitreya appears on major television, will he not use his own name. To which Creme replied
“He wishes to be introduced to the world as a man among men, but who has ideas which, so far, most people have not thought about for the reconstruction of the world. In that way he does not make a division between Christians, Buddhists, Moslims and Hindus. If he was introduced as the Christ, say, then Christians would be divided. Some would say "Halleluja! The Christ is here!" Others would say "He is not the Christ, he is a fake, he is the anti-christ." Or, if they liked his ideas, they might accept him whoever he was. If they do not like his ideas, which many fundamentalist Christians, in my experience, do not, even without seeing him ―? they are convinced already that he must be the anti-christ, they do not like the idea of sharing, they do not seem to like justice and peace in the world ―? they will automatically reject him.
Because he has not come down in a cloud into Jerusalem as they expect, they have a prejudice from the start. If he called himself the Christ, there would be this huge division among Christians as to who he was. If he called himself Maitreya then the Buddhists would be divided”. [28]
And from (In Search of Maitreya An Evening with Benjamin Crème by John W. Moore)
“That Creme and company have an intense interest in injecting the virus of Maitreya into the body Christian is obvious. One curiosity that bears mentioning in this respect is the reported Maitreya sightings that are dutifully noted in each issue of the Share International Journal. In each monthly journal, Maitreya is reported to have appeared in various locations around the world, appearing to such and such a group of people in Canada, appearing to another group in Liverpool, and always -- "water was magnetized in the area". Whether these reports have any basis in reality cannot be confirmed or dis-confirmed by this reporter. What is remarkable about these reports, regardless of their veracity, is that Maitreya is overwhelmingly reported to appear to groups of Christians, usually described as "conservatives" or "fundamentalist". With each account is a brief synopsis of the group's reaction: "surprisingly open", "very good reception", etc. The intention is plain: Maitreya would seek to "mislead, if possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24b).
“…in an attempt to reconcile the coming of Maitreya with Jesus' prophecy that the world would see the Son of Man return "on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory"(Matt 24:30b, NASB) a Creme cohort, the Rev. Howard Carey, offers this gem:
Nevertheless, many of the predictions about the Second Coming are being fulfilled, even if in an unexpected manner. The prediction that Christ would come "on the clouds of heaven" (Mt. 24:30) has already been fulfilled, but in a far different way than expected. In July 1977, having created for Himself an adult physical body, and having left His ancient retreat in the Himalayas, the Christ flew to London in a jet plane, thus fulfilling the Biblical prophecy of returning "on the clouds of heaven. [29]
While this example may be laughable in its crudity, not all of Creme's apologetics are so easily dismissed. The central scenario, for example, of the relationship between Jesus of Nazareth and Maitreya the Christ, a damnable blasphemy to be sure, nevertheless has a certain macabre consistency, the fascination of horrific evil. Consider this example from an article by Peter Liefhebber, co-editor with Creme of the monthly Share International Journal:
In reality Jesus was a fourth-degree initiate and one of the older disciples of the Masters of Wisdom. He appeared before in biblical times as Joshua, the son of Nun, then as Isaiah, and again as Joshua in the book of Zachariah. In Palestine he made the great sacrifice of allowing himself to be used by Maitreya to fulfil His mission during the three years following the baptism in the River Jordan. During his life, Jesus also symbolically enacted the five initiations which lead one to Mastership. The experience on the cross was the enactment of the 4th initiation for Jesus (his birth, the baptism, and the transfiguration on the mount symbolize the first three), while at the same time Maitreya underwent a higher initiation. [30]
As a "doctrine of demons" it deserves a kind of horrified respect.” [31]
Maitreya... the Anti-Christ?
Crème would also have us believe that
The antichrist is not a man
“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”. [32]
I guess the Ascended Masters either haven’t done their homework, or figure they don’t really have to be very accurate to fool people. What we know of the antichrist does NOT come solely from the 666 of Revelation, about which there is more than one school of thought in orthodox Christianity, but from several clear references in Scripture, one of which calls him a man of sin and a son of perdition and uses the words himself, and he. Not an energy … but a person.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or every object of worship, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? [2 Thessalonians 2:3-5]
In the words of John W. Moore
“So, who is Maitreya? A false christ, certainly. But is he the false christ, as Creme's pretensions would suggest, or just another demonic trial balloon. It is not clear, at this point, whether even the demons themselves are sure; but the evidence would seem to indicate the latter. Whatever the case, a couple of conclusions can be drawn:
1) God alone is sovereign. Not even the demons know the details of the timetable for the revealing of the "son of perdition". They can draw conclusions based on their experience of thousands of years of history, and presumably based on super-human intellect, but in the end no one but God knows when the "time of the end" will be.
2) The man of sin, when revealed, if not actually Maitreya, will likely resemble Maitreya in many ways, particularly with respect to Maitreya's claims to the Christhood and claimed relationship to the historical Jesus of Nazareth.
But we already knew these things... and rest assured that I, for one, will be holding out for a Christ who doesn't arrive by jumbo jet. Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. (Matthew 24:42, NASB) [33].
Regardless of the identity of the antichrist, one thing is certain. His fate is sealed. [Emphasis Added]
For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [2 Thessalonians 2:7-10]

Maitreya Rising?
Excerpts from a December 19, 2008 article on NewsWithViews.com By Paul Proctor
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….
Reincarnation
It is hard to imagine how dishonest a person can be, but Benjamin Crème certainly takes the proverbial cake. When asked why reincarnation didn’t get into western religion, he answered
There are passages in the Christian Bible where it is quite clear that His disciples understood and accepted reincarnation.
Talking about St John the Baptist, the disciples asked Jesus: "Who is John? Who is this extraordinary man who is preaching in the wilderness?" And Jesus said: "Don't you remember what I told you? He is Elias come again." Another time, when He healed a child of blindness, they said: "Who sinned, that child or his father, that the child was born blind?" In other words, was it the karma of the father, who from some misdeed in a previous life had to have a child who was blind, or was it the karma, some misdeed, of the child, in a previous life, that required him to be born blind? Many of the early Church Fathers -- for example, Origen -- taught about reincarnation.
In the John 9 passage, the disciples speculated on why a man was born blind, almost certainly referring to the false beliefs of some Jewish Rabbis that all sickness is a result of sin and that infants could sin in the womb before birth.
Biblical scholar, F.F. Bruce, cites the rabbinical commentary, Geneses Rabba 63.6 (a religious text from Judaism's classical period), and explains, "It does sometimes happen that men and women are themselves responsible in part for physical ailments.... But it is not usually so.... The idea that an infant might sin while still in the womb, however, appears to have been entertained by some rabbis, and the disciples may have thought it possible" (The Gospel of John, p. 208).
The important point is, despite what ever the disciples meant by the question, their presuppositions were wrong. What Creme omitted was Jesus’ answer... He corrected the the disciples by saying "neither" is the cause, but that what God will do in or through this malady is the answer and reason. In other words, in order to bring glory to God through the situation.

Wayne Peterson i
Is a recently retired career US Diplomat who served the United States for 32 years. The following excerpt from his site says it all..
“After a most unusual happening, Mr. Peterson finds himself lying face down, looking down a portal to the room far below where friends at the cocktail party he has been attending seem to be sleeping or in suspended motion. He is in a strange room somewhere over the Gobi desert, and is offered the chance to meet Maitreya, the World Teacher and Christ returned, whom he read about in Mr. Creme’s book just months before. Peterson accepts, and during his one-hour audience with the Lord Maitreya, he is shown the past, present and future, and his place in it all… Peterson learns that the World Teacher has not come alone, but rather with a group of perfected men, the Masters of Wisdom, who form the inner government of the planet and watch over the evolution of humankind. He becomes used to some of them visiting in the early hours of the morning, generally when he is asleep, to impart their teaching on the nature of the Self and life” [34] [TOP OF PAGE]
The Maitreya Project
Maitreya Project's 500ft / 152m bronze statue will be built at Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh in northern India. The Maitreya Buddha statue and its throne-building will provide the public with temples, exhibition halls, a museum, library, audio-visual theatre and hospitality services. All will be set in beautifully landscaped parks with meditation pavilions, beautiful water fountains and tranquil pools. The buildings and grounds of the project will contain a remarkable and inspiring collection of sacred art. .. It will be constructed as a Buddhist cathedral for the public and will be designed to last at least 1,000 years so it can act as a catalyst for peace for a full millennium." [35].
Footnote I: The Dalai Lama... Not exactly what he says he is and certainly not what he is popularly made out to be. There is something very sinister behind this smiling “Man of Peace”. He believes in and teaches on the coming of the Maitreya, that some legends equate with Kalki, the doomsday avatar of Vishnu and which the Bible calls the antichrist.. Certainly many, including the Tibetans, believe that this Maitreya is not as friendly as Crème makes him out to be. The Dalai Lama has initiated thousands of people into the Kalachakra initiation, part of which is the Shambhala myth which prophecies and promotes, a “holy war” (Shambhala war) by Buddhists against non-Buddhists, in which “supremely ferocious warriors will throw down the barbarian hordes” and “eliminate” them. The Kalachakra texts say that the 25th Kalki king will emerge from Shambhala with a huge army to vanquish "Dark Forces" and usher in a worldwide thousand-year Golden Age. And who are these ‘Dark Forces’? Shri Kalachakra I. 154 says “Adam, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mani, Mohammed and the Mahdi” are characterised as the “family of the demonic snakes” [Also See The Dalai Lama] [TOP OF PAGE]
Footnote II: Share International
“Share International Foundation is a registered non-profit organization with offices in London, Amsterdam and Los Angeles. Affiliated groups in other countries are also operated on a non-profit basis. They include, among others, Tara Press (UK), Share International USA, Tara Canada, Share Japan, Editions Tetraeder (Germany), Share Ediciones (Spain), and Partage International (France). All are independent entities but work co-operatively and present one message. This is done through distributing the magazine, publishing and/or distributing Benjamin Creme's books, arranging lecture tours for Mr. Creme and other speakers, maintaining numerous web sites, and responding to public and media enquiries”. [36]
Tara Canada says it is “a not-for-profit society established in 1986 to make known the presence of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and to work with other volunteer groups in providing free information on related topics of interest”. [37] [PLACE IN TEXT]
Footnote II: Theosophy
Theosophy comes from the term "Theosophia" used by the Neoplatonists to mean literally "knowledge of the divine". Theosophy, a doctrine of religious philosophy and metaphysics, holds that all religions are attempts by the "Spiritual Hierarchy" to help humanity in evolving to greater perfection, and that each religion therefore has a portion of the truth.
According to a site dedicated to Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who once called the “Biblical Jehovah” the “spiteful and revengeful God of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob” [The Secret Doctrine. Edition 3. Published 1893. Page 474]
“Theosophy is a fragment of the ancient, once universal, wisdom teaching.”
“The masters of Theosophy, located in Tibet and around the world, preserve and extend this ancient wisdom. Periodically they send forth one of their own - or a messenger - to help spread this teaching to all of humanity.”
“In the 1800's they had been searching for a century for the next messenger and finally settled upon Helena Blavatsky, born to a noble Russian family. She saw the master who would be her teacher in her dreams as a child. She met him in Hyde Park in London when she was 20. She managed to enter Tibet and was trained by those masters in Tibet from 1868 to 1870. From 1875 through her death in 1891 she spread that message around the world.” [38]
The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky along with Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge, and others. The three declared objects of the original Theosophical Society were as follows:
First — To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.
Second — To encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy and Science.
Third — To investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man."
Origins
alpheus.org, which is a “Site for Esoteric History”, carries an article by Mark Bevir, entitled Theosophy as a Political Movement. The following excerpts provide some insights into where Blavatsky came from… [All Emphasis Added]
“Beyond these explicit aims, it stands for Blavatsky's modern occultism, according to which the ancient wisdom, or the universal religion, derives from the east. Theosophy arose as part of an upsurge of occult movements throughout the west in the late nineteenth-century. Indeed, its specific roots were in the spiritualist movement, with Blavatsky and Olcott meeting when both of them went to investigate spirit-raps in Vermont.”
Blavatsky believed that
“we can come into contact with the divine spark within us by adopting an appropriate set of ascetic practices: mystics purify themselves in order to have an unmediated experience of their true unity with God. Although the most advanced portion of humanity already have become highly spiritual beings, some of them have chosen to watch over our progress, and, when necessary, to aid us by suitable interventions in the physical and spiritual realms. Blavatsky claimed these Masters constituted a Great White Brotherhood of Mahatmas who lived in the Himalayas and who gave her orders. It was they who instructed her to establish the Theosophical Society, and it was they who told her what to write in her works.”
She also identified India as the source of the ancient wisdom..
Whereas earlier occultists typically traced their doctrines back to ancient Egypt, she argued that the 'very same ideas expressed in almost identical language, may be read in Buddhistic and Brahmanical literature.”
And claimed
“…that Judaism, Christianity, indeed all faiths, had their roots in a universal religion she equated with the teachings of the Vedas. No doubt Indian religions really did embrace some doctrines resembling those Blavatsky arrived at whilst reworking the occult tradition to meet a widespread crisis of faith in the west. Nonetheless, certain features of contemporary Hinduism, such as child marriage and suti, clearly did not fit at all well with her idea that India embodied the ancient wisdom. Blavatsky resolved this difficulty by distinguishing the corrupted, exoteric teachings and practices found in modern Hinduism from the true, esoteric ones of ancient Brahmanism. Modern India needed reform; its people needed to return to the pure ways of the Vedas.” [39]

The concept of a coming World Teacher who sets up a Golden Age on earth can be found in many world religious systems as well as in the literature of the occult...
While certain aspects of Benjamin Crème’s endless and tireless promotion of the Maitreya seem almost laughable, derived from a B Grade science fiction movie, one can not entirely dismiss all of his claims, many of which are based in a monstrous evil long ago foretold by Scripture, and little understood by those claiming a wonderful New Age is about to dawn. Crème is just one more cog in the wheel of the world wide preparation for the anti-christ... one more tool in the hands of an evil he can not possibly imagine.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or every object of worship, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? [2 Thessalonians 2:3-5]
Who is Maitreya?
In short Maitreya is one of the Ascended Masters.
Derived from the Theosophical concept of Masters of Wisdom or "Mahatmas", Ascended Masters are believed to be spiritually enlightened beings who in past incarnations were ordinary humans with physical bodies, but who have undergone a process of spiritual transformation. They have reached a sufficiently high level of spiritual awareness that they are capable of remaining on the earth-plane by choice and not by necessity. They have chosen to serve as the teachers of mankind from the realms of spirit … connected with souls on earth to guide them. "They are the true teachers of mankind, directing the spiritual evolution of all those who desire to reunite with divine consciousness, or God”. [1]
The web site of Share International, who’s stated main purpose is to “present information about the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher and his message of hope for the future” equates Maitreya with the prophesied figures of multiple religious traditions says… [Emphasis Added]
“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. 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.
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.... 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”. [2]
and
At this time of great political, economic and social crisis Maitreya will inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, and global cooperation. He will launch a call to action to save the millions of people who starve to death every year in a world of plenty. Among Maitreya's recommendations will be a shift in social priorities so that adequate food, housing, clothing, education, and medical care become universal rights. Under Maitreya's inspiration, humanity itself will make the required changes and create a saner and more just world for all”. [3].
And When Is He Supposed to Arrive?
Share International claims that he is already present in the world, but is preparing to make an open declaration of his presence in the near future. They claim that he has not come alone, but with a group of “wise Teachers who have long guided humanity from behind the scenes”, and that “They are returning to the everyday world to help us solve our most critical global problems”.
They further add that Maitreya himself has said:
'Soon, now very soon, you will see my face and hear my words.'
Compare this with Alice Bailey’s claim that “The Son of God is on His way, and He cometh not alone. His advance guard is already here, and the Plan which they must follow, is already made clear”. [4].
In fact an excerpt from an October 2008 article from Share International magazine, by an anonymous “senior member of the Hierarchy of Masters of Wisdom” who dictated his article to Benjamin Crème, co-editor of Share International, says..
For many years We, your Elder Brothers, have warned men of the dangers of blindly following market forces which, themselves, are blind. Thus, the present widespread economic and financial crisis should not be unexpected. The ‘bubble’ created by competition and greed had, inevitably, to burst. Yet the ‘men of money’ who built this towering edifice on shifting sands are stunned by the outcome, are at a loss to understand the reasons for the catastrophe and are already looking for better ways of continuing the same folly.
The people of the countries worst hit by the recent events, however, know well the reasons for the collapse, and are angry in the knowledge that it is they who will suffer hardship and want in the months and years ahead.
Maitreya, waiting patiently in the wings, sees this as a ‘window of opportunity’ which allows Him to emerge openly and begin His outer mission. Thus, the long wait for His emergence is almost over. Very soon indeed now men will hear Maitreya’s call for action and for change. [5]
Creme talks about Maitreya being the 1st and 2nd initiations who "prepares the way" for this "Lord of the World" - "Sanat Kumara", the third initiation. David Spangler another Blavatsky/Bailey disciple makes no bones about the identity of this initiator. He calls this the "Luciferic Initiation." [TOP OF PAGE]
Benjamin Creme
Benjamin Creme of Share International (a non-profit educational group with sister groups in over 20 countries) [See Details] has long been the principal source of information about the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and has travelled the globe “helping to create a climate of hope and expectancy for the World Teacher”. Creme, who was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1922, claims that Maitreya is an Ascended Master, a perfected being who will appear on the scene out of nowhere and take advantage of a pre-existent global power structure that will immediately give him support.
in an interview with Rollin Olson, Creme replied to a query about the origin of his information...
“ Much of it comes from the Theosophical teaching, which was introduced by Madame Blavatsky between 1875 and 1890. Her major opus, The Secret Doctrine, embodies the preparatory teaching given to the world for the new age which is now dawning. The Alice Bailey teachings are the intermediate phase. Maitreya Himself brings the next, the Revelatory, phase”. [6]
And, in the same interview, responded to a question of who we are really, with the words:
“We are really gods in incarnation. We need to recognize our threefold constitution: We are a spark of God; every religion has postulated this and has kept the idea of our divinity before humanity for thousands of years.” [6]
[See Footnote II: Theosophy].
In an article entitled Benjamin Creme: a messenger of hope, Share International says...
“Throughout his early years Creme also studied various aspects of esoteric philosophy, in particular the teachings released in the late 1800s through Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society, and more recently through Alice A. Bailey. Although these teachings led him to believe in the existence of the Masters of Wisdom, a group of perfected individuals who are the custodians of the Divine Plan for this planet. it nevertheless came as a complete surprise to him when, in 1959, he was contacted by one of the Masters. He was told, among other things, that Maitreya, the World Teacher, the Master of all the Masters, would return in about 20 years and that he (Creme) would have a role to play in the event if he chose to accept it.
More than a decade later, in 1972, Creme began a period of arduous training under his Master's direction to prepare him for his coming task: announcing to a skeptical world the emergence of the World Teacher, awaited by people of every religion under his various names ― the Christ, Messiah, Imam Mahdi, Krishna, Maitreya Buddha. Creme's constant contact with a Master of Wisdom gives him access to up-to-date information on Maitreya's emergence, plus the total conviction needed to present this story”. [7].
Benjamin Creme describes how the telepathic link between him and his duplicitous crony was strengthened… [Emphasis Added]
“Towards the end of 1972, when I was rather in the doldrums and least expecting it, that wise and wily one whom I have the privilege to call Master, pounced. He took me in hand, and subjected me to the most intensive period of de-glamorisation, disillusioning, training and preparation. For months we worked together, 20 hours a day, deepening and strengthening the telepathic link until it was two-way with equal ease requiring the minimum of his attention and energy. He forged in this period an instrument through whom he could work, and which would be responsive to his slightest impression (of course, with my complete cooperation and without the slightest infringement of my free will). Everything I see and hear, he sees and hears. When he wishes, a look from me can be a look from him; my touch, his. So, with the minimum expenditure of energy he has a window on the world, an outpost of his consciousness; he can heal and teach. He himself remains, in a fully physical body, thousands of miles away”. [8]
And what does Scripture say? [Emphasis Added]
“ Regard not them who have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:31). [TOP OF PAGE]
Transmission Meditation
In March 1974, the “wise and wily one” gave Creme a list of 14 names of people to invite to a talk at his home on "meditation and allied subjects." Crème says they all showed up and he [Emphasis Added]
“.. talked about the Hierarchy of Masters, about meditation, and its role in bringing about soul contact. Under instruction, I presented them with the following offer: I invited them to take part in a group work in which their occult meditation would proceed under the guidance of a Master of the Wisdom, in exchange for which they would act as transmitters of the Hierarchical energies, thus forming a bridging group between Hierarchy and the disciples in the field.
The Master arranged a short transmission to show them what was involved. Twelve of the fourteen agreed, two feeling that they were not ready for this kind of work.” [8]
What is interesting in this travesty of the original 12 disciples, is that this is yet another example of Satan parroting the original. In one account there is even “a Council of One Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand: A tribunal of Ascended Masters administering the program of the ‘Ancient of Days’.” [9] And the Mormon church isn’t far behind…
“Twelve men ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood office of apostle constitute the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the second-highest presiding quorum in the government of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”.
Overshadowing
“At the beginning and end of every lecture Benjamin Creme is overshadowed by Maitreya for about 20 minutes each time. In this way Maitreya releases his energy to the audience as a special spiritual nourishment or blessing. Many people who have some degree of clairvoyance have seen this, but until now we have not had photographs of the event.
This photograph was taken on 26 September 2001 in Amsterdam at Benjamin Creme's lecture. The photographer, Ellen Bernards, was sitting in the front row on the left of the hall and took the picture just as the initial overshadowing by Maitreya was beginning.
When the photograph was developed she noticed that instead of two people on the platform ― Mr. Creme and the translator ― there are three figures. Mr. Creme, wearing a jacket and tie, was facing the audience, whereas the mysterious figure is facing the camera; he has no tie and the first few buttons of his shirt are open”. [10] [TOP OF PAGE]
Present Day Materializations?
It is claimed that Maitreya has made many appearances since his first sudden appearance in June 1988 at a prayer meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, with a supposed 19 appearances in 2001 alone.
“On 11 June 1988, a man suddenly appeared before a vast crowd in Nairobi, Kenya, gathered to witness healing prayers. Instantly recognizing the tall, white-robed figure as "Jesus Christ," the crowds fell down overcome with emotion. The tall figure of a barefooted white-robed and bearded man appeared from nowhere and stood in the middle of the crowd. He was walking slowly towards the new church building away from the tent. Mary walked with him, side by side. I stared at the stranger without blinking. Strange, sporadic light wafted on top of his turbaned head, his feet and his entire body….In clear Swahili, which had no traces of accent, the strange man announced that the people of Kenya were blessed, especially those who had gathered at the venue that afternoon. "We are nearing the time for the reign of heaven. But before that I shall come back and bring a bucketful of blessings for all of you," the man said”. [11]
Other say
“Maitreya, in Buddhism, the future Buddha, a Buddha who will be reborn in a period of decline to renew the doctrine of the founder of Buddhism, the Buddha. Maitreya is believed to be a bodhisattva, one who refuses entry into nirvana, a transcendent state free from suffering, out of a compassionate desire to help others. At present, he is believed to reside in Tushita Heaven, where he awaits his rebirth which is expected to occur in 30,000 years”. [12] [TOP OF PAGE]
Benjamin Crème - Meeting The Maitreya
In an interview with Art Bell, on Bell's widely syndicated talk show the night of July 10/11, 1998, Benjamin Crème was asked he had physically met with Maitreya in London. To which he replied:
I have, but not in his real form. I met him, uh, as a woman, a refugee woman in a train in London with a child and she, heheh, so-called "she", asked me for some money, I gave her some money. The child looked miserable and she went up and down the, the uh, train, you know, begging, but ("Yes...") in the carriage where I met her there was no one else in the carriage so she wasn't making much money. And uh, the child actually was the Master Jesus. And this sort of happening occurs all the time. The Masters work together. Maitreya and the Master Jesus seem to be incredibly close and they work together all the time. Sometimes one is a man. The other time the other one is a man, and so on... they change positions and change appearance and so on.
Creme says the last time he met Maitreya was in California, where “he appeared as uh, I suppose you would say as a modern day, slightly hippie, quite casually dressed, but nicely dressed, uh, with a little bomber jacket on and uh, and a hat and he asked me for a couple of dollars to, for gas for his uh, truck. [13] [TOP OF PAGE]
Signs and Wonders?
At his November 25, 1997 Los Angeles Press Conference Benjamin Crème presented three categories of evidence to support his claim that Maitreya and the Masters are here and ready to help solve our most critical problems. One of these categories is “… a continuous wave of miraculous events … already been reported by news media” although “reported as separate phenomena, without knowing that these events all have a common cause: Maitreya and the Masters”. Some of the phenomena attributed to Maitreya and the Masters by Crème are in his own words…
The visions of the Madonna, which for example appear to the children at Medjugorje every evening and give them secrets, similar visions which have occurred in many countries, wherever there are Christian groups around the world. [Also See The Marian Apparitions: Divine Intervention or Delusion?]
Statues which weep real tears and blood.
The statues which open their eyes and close them again.
The 35-foot rainbow-colored Madonna which adorns a bank in Florida, -- which was vandalized and has restored itself to its original pristine color.
The icon of Jesus in Sydney, Australia, [on?] a large crucifix which leaks liters of pure olive oil.
The 40-foot-high crosses of light which adorn a fundamentalist Christian Baptist church in Tennessee.
Holy messages, when housewives cut the vegetables they find that the seeds of the food are rearranged and spell out "Allah is great, Mohammed is his prophet.
Healing waters which have appeared worldwide, as at Tlacote in Mexico, some of the most miraculous cures from cancer and AIDS down to warts and boils have been miraculously cured in this way. (Eventually, there will be 777 of such healing wells, distributed all over the world, and this will have a most profound effect on the health of humanity in the future).
The Lebanese Moslem child who weeps razor-sharp crystals, and yet absolutely harmless. She said that a man on a white horse, dressed in white, told her that this was going to take place and not to be frightened, and that it was a great spiritual sign for the Moslems of Lebanon.
And what Crème called “one of the greatest miracles that the world has ever seen, on the widest possible scale” ….
“The "milk miracle" which occurred in the Hindu community, north, south, east and west, wherever Hindus did puja in September, 1995, the milk was offered to the gods and the milk disappeared. It looked in every case as if the statutes lapped up the milk, it disappeared in seconds. In New Delhi everything stopped. Parliament closed, millions of people took to the streets with their cans of milk -- in fact, after four days they ran out of milk. Of course, these gods made of wood and teak and bronze and copper and so on did not drink the milk. The miracle was not that they drank the milk. The miracle is that the milk disappeared. It was made to disappear by Maitreya and a group of Masters who specialize in this particular type of miracle”. [14]
So what does the Bible say about these so called signs and wonders? In one short verse .. Mark 13:22 (repeated in Matthew 24:24) God effectively wipes out all of Crème’s posturing, fake miracles and torrent of words. [Emphasis Added]
for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. [TOP OF PAGE]
Creme and The Reappearance of ‘the Christ’
Benjamin Creme, who has written some fifteen books [See Footnote III], wrote his first, The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom, in 1980... in which he “made the startling announcement that the Christ, as World Teacher for the coming age, is already among us ― gradually emerging into full public recognition”. (The book also supposedly “clarifies misunderstandings” about the anti-christ and the 'last judgement').
According to the following quotes from the book, the infiltration of the government by Luciferic agents is already a reality today (which I do not doubt for a moment). These agents, we are told, are directed by the Hierarchy of Ascended Masters and are working together to bring about the New World Order right under our noses..
From these existing groups (New Age plants) in all fields of work — political, religious, social, scientific, educational and cultural — will be formed a nucleus who will be trained directly by the Master himself. Gradually they will be called upon for help and advice by governmental agencies, and their effective power to influence governmental decisions will increase.
Administrative and Governmental positions will be offered to certain members of the inner group who can then directly implement the needed changes. In this way a gradual transformation of society will be made...
The Hierarchy has plans already made and ready to put into effect. These involve the reconstruction of the world financial and economic order. A group of high initiates, themselves economists, industrialists, and financial experts of great experience and achievement, are working with the Hierarchy and have evolved a series of blueprints, alternative inter-related plans, which will solve the redistribution problems which are at the basis of the present world crisis. These can and will be speedily implemented when the need is seen and accepted, which acceptance will be forced on the United Nations of the world by the weight of a now informed public opinion. The cry for help and justice from the poor and starving nations will be too loud and too dramatic to ignore. [Pgs. 34-35] [Also See Ascended Masters]
Creme also says [Emphasis Added]
"When the Christ returns, he will not at first reveal his Presence, nor will the Masters who precede him; but gradually, steps will be taken which will reveal to men that there lives among them now a man of outstanding, extraordinary potency, capacity for love and service, and with a breadth of view, far beyond the ordinary. Men and women, all over the world, will find themselves drawn into the awareness of the point in the modern world wherein this man will live; and from that centre of force will flow the True Spirit of the Christ, which will gradually reveal to men that he is with us.
Those who can respond to his presence and his teaching will find themselves somewhat reflecting this love, this potency, this breadth of vision, and will go into the world and spread abroad the fact that the Christ is in the world, and that men should look to that country from which a certain teaching is emanating. This will take place in a very, relatively, short period of time, and will lead to conclusive evidence that the Christ is in our midst. [15]
Additionally Crème would have us believe that
Jesus Christ never left the world.
“There is a tremendous misunderstanding about the anti-Christ, certainly among Christian groups. They expect the Christ "at the end of the world." Actually, He came at the end of the age, not the end of the world. At the end of the world, when the whole world is disintegrating, they expect Him to come down on a cloud into Jerusalem. They think He is sitting up in heaven but the Christ has been no nearer "heaven" than the high Himalayas, 17,500 feet up, for the last thousands of years. And it is from there that He comes into the world, not from this mythical heaven. Heaven is a state of being. The kingdom of heaven is within, as Jesus Himself taught. It is the Spiritual Hierarchy of which He is a member. [16]
“It is an enormous, and embarrassing, claim to have to make ― that the Christ is giving messages through oneself. But if people can rid their minds of the idea of the Christ as some sort of spirit, sitting in "heaven" at God's right hand; if they can begin to see him as indeed he is, as a real and living man (albeit a divine man) who has never left the world; who descended, not from "heaven," but from his ancient retreat in the Himalayas, to complete the task he began in Palestine; as a great Master; an Adept and Yogi; as the chief actor in a Gospel Story which is essentially true, but much simpler than hitherto presented;” [17]
The Bible disagrees. Albert Barnes has summarized what Scripture tells us of Jesus’ Ascension, which was referred to in several places in the NT. See for example Romans 10:6.
It was forty days after his resurrection. [Acts 1:3],
He ascended from the Mount of Olives, near Bethany. [Luke 24:50; Acts 1:12].
It was in the presence of all the apostles. [Luke 24:50; Acts 1:9-10].
He was received into a cloud, and ascended to heaven. [Acts 1:9, Acts 1:11; Luke 24:51; Ephesians 1:20-22].
Besides which Jesus had earlier spoken of His ascension as an established fact, once to his disciples before his death and once to . Mary Magdalene immediately after his resurrection
Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. [John 20:17 ]
What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before? [John 6:62]
Acts 1: 9-11 is even more specific.. telling us that while the apostles were gazing upwards after a cloud had hidden Jesus from their site, an angel appeared and asked why they were looking into Heaven as Jesus would come back in just the same way as they saw Him go. Revelation 1:7 adds that every eye shall see him…
And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.
Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen. [Revelation 1:7]
No “ancient retreat in the Himalayas”, no sly appearances to a few gatherings around the world, no Indian community in London and certainly no chance meeting on the underground. When He returns there will be NO day of declaration, but every eye shall see him… including those that pierced him… The living and the dead.
BTW. When the Evangelists say that he was taken up or that he ascended, does not necessarily imply that they locate heaven directly above the earth;
Note: Alice Bailey also wrote a book called The Reappearance of The Christ.. However Creme and Alice Bailey’s ‘Christ’ has little in common with that of mainstream Christian churches and might be "of no particular faith at all". [Details]
According to Creme...
Jesus is an Ascended Master
In the above mentioned interview... The Ageless Wisdom teaching, Interview with Benjamin Creme, by Rollin Olson, Crème was asked how the hierarchy is structured .. whether they have a leader or work as a group, to which he replied that they
“share a consciousness; They have no separate consciousness as personalities. They can never say "I," because They have no sense of I. They are a group with group consciousness. At Their head is the Master of all the Masters, whose personal name is Maitreya. He was foretold to come now by the Buddha: 2,500 years ago Gautama Buddha made a prophecy that at this time would come another great Teacher, a Buddha like Himself, Maitreya by name, who would inspire humanity to create a new and brilliant, golden civilization, based on righteousness and truth. There are 60 Masters, and three Great Lords, as They are called. Maitreya is one of these three. Maitreya holds the office of World Teacher, and embodies the energy we call the Christ Principle or Consciousness, the second aspect of the Christian trinity.
Two thousand years ago He overshadowed His disciple Jesus for three years and Jesus became Jesus the Messiah, or, translated into the Greek, Jesus the Christ. The Christ Himself is Maitreya. His consciousness, from the baptism to the crucifixion, manifested through Jesus and inaugurated the Piscean age which is now coming to an end. Maitreya has come back into the world now to carry on what He began through Jesus, and will complete in the age of Aquarius which is now beginning”.
And goes on to say
“Jesus taught through Mohammed; as Maitreya had taught through Him, so He taught through Mohammed. The Buddha taught through the Prince Gautama and Mithra, and Maitreya also taught through Krishna and Shankaracharya at previous times”. [16]
Who Will Reform The Church
In The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom Creme wrote:
The Master Jesus is going to reform the Christian churches. [p. 85]
He is one of the Masters Who will very shortly return to outer work in the world, taking over the throne of St. Peter, in Rome. He will seek to transform the Christian Churches, in so far as they are flexible enough to respond correctly to the new reality which the return of the Christ and the Masters will create. [p. 46]
As Warren Smith righty says in the update to Chapter 4 of Reinventing Jesus….
“Many recent translations and paraphrases of the Bible—like Eugene Peterson’s The Message—play right into Maitreya’s “Master Jesus” scenario. Unfortunately, many popular church leaders—like Rick Warren—choose to use these newer translations and paraphrases. In Deceived on Purpose I wrote:
Sadly, many of the newer Bible translations and paraphrases used by Rick Warren have often dropped the words “Lord” and “Christ” from Jesus’ title and have substituted the word “Master.” This obviously plays directly into the hands of a false Christ, like Maitreya, who will be trying to convince the world—and particularly Christians—that Jesus is not the Lord Jesus Christ but simply the “Master Jesus.”…”
He gives one example of this very subtle softening up process…
“The King James translation of Revelation 22:20-21 at the very end of the Bible is:
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
The Message paraphrase is:
Yes! Come, Master Jesus!
The grace of the Master Jesus be with all of you. Oh, Yes!
…Max Lucado in his recent book Cure for the Common Life: Living in Your Sweet Spot, quotes Colossians 3:17 from The Message paraphrase that makes reference not to the “Lord Jesus” as in most Bible translations, but to the “Master Jesus.” [18]
Additionally Creme’s beliefs about Lucifer are also textbook Theosophy [See Footnote II: Theosophy]. According to Creme (and Blavatsky)
Lucifer
”... is seen by Christian groups as the devil. It is nothing of the kind! Lucifer is really the name of the great angel who ensouls the human kingdom. Every human soul is an individualized part of one great oversoul. The name of that great oversoul, which is divine, is Lucifer. [19]
Adding that the Biblical story of Adam and Eve was just “a metaphor” that has been misinterpreted… and
It was not a fall from grace but a deliberate part of the plan of evolution, that the human souls had to give up "paradise", living in pralaya, a wonderful paradisaical state of endless bliss, and "eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge" -- take incarnation on the physical plane in these as-yet-animal men. That is what happened, and that has been misinterpreted as a fall from grace: that Lucifer was a great angel but he rebelled against God and thought he was as good as God, and so was put out of heaven. It is a story, only a story, and totally misinterpreted. It is really the story of the incarnation of the human evolution. [19]
Creating The ‘Right’ Conditions For The Return:
The underlying and sole purpose behind all of the organizations that started with Alice Bailey and the Lucis Trust (the Arcane School, Triangles, World Goodwill, Lucis Publishing, Lucis Productions, Lucis Trust Libraries, the New Group of World Servers etc.) is to prepare the world for "the return of the Christ".
Of the New Group of World Servers Crème says
“When he came before in Palestine, the Christ found that there were not enough servers, disciples, in the world through whom he could work, who could have prepared the way for him, and through whom he could construct the new civilization of the time…. In 1922, therefore, he inaugurated the New Group of World Servers, which is the most important group existing in the world, although it has no outer form or organization. Each member of it is related subjectively (i.e. on the inner, soul level) to Hierarchy; they know and understand the Plan and their part in it”. [20]
Since, according to Alice Bailey’s ectoplasmic friend Djwhal Khul (The Tibetan), “humanity itself must first produce the conditions in consciousness and in world affairs essential to the eventual physical appearance of the Christ”, they seek to raise spiritual awareness, especially through meditation. Their belief is that they receive divine energy through meditation; this energy is transmitted to humanity, particularly at the Full Moon is when spiritual energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy.
[Read More About Alice Bailey and The Lucis Trust HERE]
Share International certainly agrees [All Emphasis Added]
“Students who have incorporated meditation as a regular part of their daily routine should learn to avail themselves fully of the increased opportunities for contact which become available during the time of the full Moon. During these monthly recurring periods it is as if a door is being opened which normally stands closed. This door may then be entered, providing access to energies otherwise not available, and thereby improving the possibility of approaches to the Masters. This period of stimulated activity stretches over about five days — two days prior to the full Moon, the peak of the forces on the day of the full Moon, and the two subsequent days of shrinking activity. [21]
Crème adds
“The Shamballa Force… is released each year by the Buddha at the Wesak Festival in May” [22]
[Also See The Legend of Wesak]
Maitreya’s Future Coming.. Peaceful or Destructive?
Maitreya’s coming will be supposedly characterized by a number of physical events, and on his "Day of Declaration" he will go on international television worldwide and telepathically every human being will hear (in his or her native language) his message for his plan to transform humanity. In fact Creme says this day will be a reenactment of Pentecost.
"Maitreya will be invited by the international media to speak directly to the entire world through the television networks linked together by satellites. On this Day of Declaration, we will see his face on the television screen wherever we have access. The biblical statement, 'All eyes will see him,' will be fulfilled, in the only way in which it can be fulfilled. We will see his face, but he will not speak. His thoughts, his ideas, his call to humanity for justice, sharing, right relationships and peace, will take place silently, telepathically. Each of us will hear him inwardly in our own language. In this way, he will re-enact on a worldwide scale the true happenings of Pentecost 2,000 years ago... In celebration of this event, Pentecost will become one of the major festivals of the New World Religion which, eventually, Maitreya will inaugurate." [23]
The thrust of Maitreya’s message is that because of his compassionate desire to help others, humanity can be guided back onto the right path, and through working with the Masters, bring new technology into our lives to bring these changes about. The Maitreya Project site says
“Maitreya will manifest in our world as a radiantly beautiful spiritual teacher inspiring people to practice the path of virtue, especially loving-kindness”. [24]
After the Day of Declaration
Several Masters of Wisdom will join Maitreya on the world stage. Each will have different functions depending upon his particular line of work. Some will teach, while others will be concerned more with world problems of a political & economic nature. Still others will inspire the new architecture, painting & music, while the attention of some will be directed to science & the inspiration of the new 'holistic' science, integrating science & religion. A Master (Mahatma) is simply a master over himself & the forces of nature. None of them wish to be worshipped or idolized. Eventually common man too will be able to do what they can do now. For the first time in countless millennia, they will be serving humanity openly in the world, rather than from behind the scenes as they do now. Maitreya does not intend to build a new religion around himself, nor to create followers, but to teach humanity the Art of Self-Realization. [25]
However while Creme and others portray this Maitreya as a peaceful world teacher there are some conflicting ideas. For example
Alice Bailey, in an address at the Arcane School Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, suggested that the "Shamballa force", the force from the invisible dimensions led by the Lord Maitreya will be "destructive." It will also, she said, eject unbelievers from the earth:
"The decision to release the Shamballa force during this century into direct contact with the human kingdom is one of the final and most compelling acts of preparation for the New Age. The Shamballa force is destructive and ejective ... inspiring new understanding of The Plan.. It is this force ... which will bring about that tremendous crisis, the initiation of the race into the mysteries of the ages. (Alice Bailey, The Externalizing the Mysteries, pt. 1 p.171) [Details HERE]
The Dalai Lama, who believes the Maitreya who will emerge as a world leader and teacher also initiates thousands into the highest levels of Buddhism, fundamental to which is the Kalachakra-Tantra, which very specifically prophesizes that 25th Kalki king will emerge from Shambhala with a huge army to vanquish "Dark Forces" and usher in a worldwide thousand-year Golden Age. In other words it predicts yet another bloody war in which the ‘barbarians’ will be defeated. The original text describes the Buddhist war-methods as “merciless” and “cruel”. It says: “The supremely ferocious warriors will throw down the barbarian hordes” and “eliminate” (them). (Shri Kalachakra I. 163/165) [See The Dalai Lama]
Also note that although Creme says
“Maitreya emerged from His center in the Himalayas, when least expected, "like a thief in the night". He took up residence in the Indian-Pakistani community of London. He has been living and working there, seemingly as an ordinary man, His true status known to relatively few. He has been emerging gradually into full public view so as not to infringe humanity's free will”. [26]
However the following observation is very telling...
“Creme says this master is not a subscriber to any religion, yet his master is from the Himalaya’s well known for its occult roots and Hinduism. He also moved supposedly where he would be least noticed, into an Indian community which again shows a connection of his ethnicity to this belief system of Hinduism. The language and the practices taught by this Tibetan master of the occult are clearly Hinduistic, which is the only religion in the world that promulgates a pantheistic system, a belief of God in all things and we are gods. For all their altruism and idealism there’s not much honesty in putting their cards on the table”. [27]. [TOP OF PAGE]
Misleading The Elect
One question asked on the FAQ page of Share International is why, when Maitreya appears on major television, will he not use his own name. To which Creme replied
“He wishes to be introduced to the world as a man among men, but who has ideas which, so far, most people have not thought about for the reconstruction of the world. In that way he does not make a division between Christians, Buddhists, Moslims and Hindus. If he was introduced as the Christ, say, then Christians would be divided. Some would say "Halleluja! The Christ is here!" Others would say "He is not the Christ, he is a fake, he is the anti-christ." Or, if they liked his ideas, they might accept him whoever he was. If they do not like his ideas, which many fundamentalist Christians, in my experience, do not, even without seeing him ―? they are convinced already that he must be the anti-christ, they do not like the idea of sharing, they do not seem to like justice and peace in the world ―? they will automatically reject him.
Because he has not come down in a cloud into Jerusalem as they expect, they have a prejudice from the start. If he called himself the Christ, there would be this huge division among Christians as to who he was. If he called himself Maitreya then the Buddhists would be divided”. [28]
And from (In Search of Maitreya An Evening with Benjamin Crème by John W. Moore)
“That Creme and company have an intense interest in injecting the virus of Maitreya into the body Christian is obvious. One curiosity that bears mentioning in this respect is the reported Maitreya sightings that are dutifully noted in each issue of the Share International Journal. In each monthly journal, Maitreya is reported to have appeared in various locations around the world, appearing to such and such a group of people in Canada, appearing to another group in Liverpool, and always -- "water was magnetized in the area". Whether these reports have any basis in reality cannot be confirmed or dis-confirmed by this reporter. What is remarkable about these reports, regardless of their veracity, is that Maitreya is overwhelmingly reported to appear to groups of Christians, usually described as "conservatives" or "fundamentalist". With each account is a brief synopsis of the group's reaction: "surprisingly open", "very good reception", etc. The intention is plain: Maitreya would seek to "mislead, if possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24b).
“…in an attempt to reconcile the coming of Maitreya with Jesus' prophecy that the world would see the Son of Man return "on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory"(Matt 24:30b, NASB) a Creme cohort, the Rev. Howard Carey, offers this gem:
Nevertheless, many of the predictions about the Second Coming are being fulfilled, even if in an unexpected manner. The prediction that Christ would come "on the clouds of heaven" (Mt. 24:30) has already been fulfilled, but in a far different way than expected. In July 1977, having created for Himself an adult physical body, and having left His ancient retreat in the Himalayas, the Christ flew to London in a jet plane, thus fulfilling the Biblical prophecy of returning "on the clouds of heaven. [29]
While this example may be laughable in its crudity, not all of Creme's apologetics are so easily dismissed. The central scenario, for example, of the relationship between Jesus of Nazareth and Maitreya the Christ, a damnable blasphemy to be sure, nevertheless has a certain macabre consistency, the fascination of horrific evil. Consider this example from an article by Peter Liefhebber, co-editor with Creme of the monthly Share International Journal:
In reality Jesus was a fourth-degree initiate and one of the older disciples of the Masters of Wisdom. He appeared before in biblical times as Joshua, the son of Nun, then as Isaiah, and again as Joshua in the book of Zachariah. In Palestine he made the great sacrifice of allowing himself to be used by Maitreya to fulfil His mission during the three years following the baptism in the River Jordan. During his life, Jesus also symbolically enacted the five initiations which lead one to Mastership. The experience on the cross was the enactment of the 4th initiation for Jesus (his birth, the baptism, and the transfiguration on the mount symbolize the first three), while at the same time Maitreya underwent a higher initiation. [30]
As a "doctrine of demons" it deserves a kind of horrified respect.” [31]
Maitreya... the Anti-Christ?
Crème would also have us believe that
The antichrist is not a man
“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”. [32]
I guess the Ascended Masters either haven’t done their homework, or figure they don’t really have to be very accurate to fool people. What we know of the antichrist does NOT come solely from the 666 of Revelation, about which there is more than one school of thought in orthodox Christianity, but from several clear references in Scripture, one of which calls him a man of sin and a son of perdition and uses the words himself, and he. Not an energy … but a person.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or every object of worship, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? [2 Thessalonians 2:3-5]
In the words of John W. Moore
“So, who is Maitreya? A false christ, certainly. But is he the false christ, as Creme's pretensions would suggest, or just another demonic trial balloon. It is not clear, at this point, whether even the demons themselves are sure; but the evidence would seem to indicate the latter. Whatever the case, a couple of conclusions can be drawn:
1) God alone is sovereign. Not even the demons know the details of the timetable for the revealing of the "son of perdition". They can draw conclusions based on their experience of thousands of years of history, and presumably based on super-human intellect, but in the end no one but God knows when the "time of the end" will be.
2) The man of sin, when revealed, if not actually Maitreya, will likely resemble Maitreya in many ways, particularly with respect to Maitreya's claims to the Christhood and claimed relationship to the historical Jesus of Nazareth.
But we already knew these things... and rest assured that I, for one, will be holding out for a Christ who doesn't arrive by jumbo jet. Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. (Matthew 24:42, NASB) [33].
Regardless of the identity of the antichrist, one thing is certain. His fate is sealed. [Emphasis Added]
For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [2 Thessalonians 2:7-10]

Maitreya Rising?
Excerpts from a December 19, 2008 article on NewsWithViews.com By Paul Proctor
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….
Reincarnation
It is hard to imagine how dishonest a person can be, but Benjamin Crème certainly takes the proverbial cake. When asked why reincarnation didn’t get into western religion, he answered
There are passages in the Christian Bible where it is quite clear that His disciples understood and accepted reincarnation.
Talking about St John the Baptist, the disciples asked Jesus: "Who is John? Who is this extraordinary man who is preaching in the wilderness?" And Jesus said: "Don't you remember what I told you? He is Elias come again." Another time, when He healed a child of blindness, they said: "Who sinned, that child or his father, that the child was born blind?" In other words, was it the karma of the father, who from some misdeed in a previous life had to have a child who was blind, or was it the karma, some misdeed, of the child, in a previous life, that required him to be born blind? Many of the early Church Fathers -- for example, Origen -- taught about reincarnation.
In the John 9 passage, the disciples speculated on why a man was born blind, almost certainly referring to the false beliefs of some Jewish Rabbis that all sickness is a result of sin and that infants could sin in the womb before birth.
Biblical scholar, F.F. Bruce, cites the rabbinical commentary, Geneses Rabba 63.6 (a religious text from Judaism's classical period), and explains, "It does sometimes happen that men and women are themselves responsible in part for physical ailments.... But it is not usually so.... The idea that an infant might sin while still in the womb, however, appears to have been entertained by some rabbis, and the disciples may have thought it possible" (The Gospel of John, p. 208).
The important point is, despite what ever the disciples meant by the question, their presuppositions were wrong. What Creme omitted was Jesus’ answer... He corrected the the disciples by saying "neither" is the cause, but that what God will do in or through this malady is the answer and reason. In other words, in order to bring glory to God through the situation.

Wayne Peterson i
Is a recently retired career US Diplomat who served the United States for 32 years. The following excerpt from his site says it all..
“After a most unusual happening, Mr. Peterson finds himself lying face down, looking down a portal to the room far below where friends at the cocktail party he has been attending seem to be sleeping or in suspended motion. He is in a strange room somewhere over the Gobi desert, and is offered the chance to meet Maitreya, the World Teacher and Christ returned, whom he read about in Mr. Creme’s book just months before. Peterson accepts, and during his one-hour audience with the Lord Maitreya, he is shown the past, present and future, and his place in it all… Peterson learns that the World Teacher has not come alone, but rather with a group of perfected men, the Masters of Wisdom, who form the inner government of the planet and watch over the evolution of humankind. He becomes used to some of them visiting in the early hours of the morning, generally when he is asleep, to impart their teaching on the nature of the Self and life” [34] [TOP OF PAGE]
The Maitreya Project
Maitreya Project's 500ft / 152m bronze statue will be built at Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh in northern India. The Maitreya Buddha statue and its throne-building will provide the public with temples, exhibition halls, a museum, library, audio-visual theatre and hospitality services. All will be set in beautifully landscaped parks with meditation pavilions, beautiful water fountains and tranquil pools. The buildings and grounds of the project will contain a remarkable and inspiring collection of sacred art. .. It will be constructed as a Buddhist cathedral for the public and will be designed to last at least 1,000 years so it can act as a catalyst for peace for a full millennium." [35].
Footnote I: The Dalai Lama... Not exactly what he says he is and certainly not what he is popularly made out to be. There is something very sinister behind this smiling “Man of Peace”. He believes in and teaches on the coming of the Maitreya, that some legends equate with Kalki, the doomsday avatar of Vishnu and which the Bible calls the antichrist.. Certainly many, including the Tibetans, believe that this Maitreya is not as friendly as Crème makes him out to be. The Dalai Lama has initiated thousands of people into the Kalachakra initiation, part of which is the Shambhala myth which prophecies and promotes, a “holy war” (Shambhala war) by Buddhists against non-Buddhists, in which “supremely ferocious warriors will throw down the barbarian hordes” and “eliminate” them. The Kalachakra texts say that the 25th Kalki king will emerge from Shambhala with a huge army to vanquish "Dark Forces" and usher in a worldwide thousand-year Golden Age. And who are these ‘Dark Forces’? Shri Kalachakra I. 154 says “Adam, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mani, Mohammed and the Mahdi” are characterised as the “family of the demonic snakes” [Also See The Dalai Lama] [TOP OF PAGE]
Footnote II: Share International
“Share International Foundation is a registered non-profit organization with offices in London, Amsterdam and Los Angeles. Affiliated groups in other countries are also operated on a non-profit basis. They include, among others, Tara Press (UK), Share International USA, Tara Canada, Share Japan, Editions Tetraeder (Germany), Share Ediciones (Spain), and Partage International (France). All are independent entities but work co-operatively and present one message. This is done through distributing the magazine, publishing and/or distributing Benjamin Creme's books, arranging lecture tours for Mr. Creme and other speakers, maintaining numerous web sites, and responding to public and media enquiries”. [36]
Tara Canada says it is “a not-for-profit society established in 1986 to make known the presence of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and to work with other volunteer groups in providing free information on related topics of interest”. [37] [PLACE IN TEXT]
Footnote II: Theosophy
Theosophy comes from the term "Theosophia" used by the Neoplatonists to mean literally "knowledge of the divine". Theosophy, a doctrine of religious philosophy and metaphysics, holds that all religions are attempts by the "Spiritual Hierarchy" to help humanity in evolving to greater perfection, and that each religion therefore has a portion of the truth.
According to a site dedicated to Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who once called the “Biblical Jehovah” the “spiteful and revengeful God of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob” [The Secret Doctrine. Edition 3. Published 1893. Page 474]
“Theosophy is a fragment of the ancient, once universal, wisdom teaching.”
“The masters of Theosophy, located in Tibet and around the world, preserve and extend this ancient wisdom. Periodically they send forth one of their own - or a messenger - to help spread this teaching to all of humanity.”
“In the 1800's they had been searching for a century for the next messenger and finally settled upon Helena Blavatsky, born to a noble Russian family. She saw the master who would be her teacher in her dreams as a child. She met him in Hyde Park in London when she was 20. She managed to enter Tibet and was trained by those masters in Tibet from 1868 to 1870. From 1875 through her death in 1891 she spread that message around the world.” [38]
The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky along with Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge, and others. The three declared objects of the original Theosophical Society were as follows:
First — To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.
Second — To encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy and Science.
Third — To investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man."
Origins
alpheus.org, which is a “Site for Esoteric History”, carries an article by Mark Bevir, entitled Theosophy as a Political Movement. The following excerpts provide some insights into where Blavatsky came from… [All Emphasis Added]
“Beyond these explicit aims, it stands for Blavatsky's modern occultism, according to which the ancient wisdom, or the universal religion, derives from the east. Theosophy arose as part of an upsurge of occult movements throughout the west in the late nineteenth-century. Indeed, its specific roots were in the spiritualist movement, with Blavatsky and Olcott meeting when both of them went to investigate spirit-raps in Vermont.”
Blavatsky believed that
“we can come into contact with the divine spark within us by adopting an appropriate set of ascetic practices: mystics purify themselves in order to have an unmediated experience of their true unity with God. Although the most advanced portion of humanity already have become highly spiritual beings, some of them have chosen to watch over our progress, and, when necessary, to aid us by suitable interventions in the physical and spiritual realms. Blavatsky claimed these Masters constituted a Great White Brotherhood of Mahatmas who lived in the Himalayas and who gave her orders. It was they who instructed her to establish the Theosophical Society, and it was they who told her what to write in her works.”
She also identified India as the source of the ancient wisdom..
Whereas earlier occultists typically traced their doctrines back to ancient Egypt, she argued that the 'very same ideas expressed in almost identical language, may be read in Buddhistic and Brahmanical literature.”
And claimed
“…that Judaism, Christianity, indeed all faiths, had their roots in a universal religion she equated with the teachings of the Vedas. No doubt Indian religions really did embrace some doctrines resembling those Blavatsky arrived at whilst reworking the occult tradition to meet a widespread crisis of faith in the west. Nonetheless, certain features of contemporary Hinduism, such as child marriage and suti, clearly did not fit at all well with her idea that India embodied the ancient wisdom. Blavatsky resolved this difficulty by distinguishing the corrupted, exoteric teachings and practices found in modern Hinduism from the true, esoteric ones of ancient Brahmanism. Modern India needed reform; its people needed to return to the pure ways of the Vedas.” [39]
