The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• Who is Lord Maitreya?
• New Agers believe that every age has had a
  teacher who manifested "the Christ". During the
  past 2,150 years, they say, we have been in the
  age of Pisces, the energies of which brought
  divisions into the world. It is believed that now
  we are in a transition period, and that the new
  age of Aquarius will be one of synthesis, an age
  of unity and oneness. This unity of all things
  will bring fulfillment to humanity through the
  realization that man is god. Many believe that
  this realization will be brought forth under the
  Aquarian leadership of and through the personal
  appearance of the Lord Maitreya.
• According to Benjamin Creme and other followers,
  Lord Maitreya is the Master of All Masters, the
  head of a spiritual Hierarchy of enlightened men.
  (Jesus Christ is said to be a member of this
  Hierarchy, charged with overseeing the Christian
  religion.)

The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• As the World Teacher, Maitreya embodies the
  "Christ Principle", and has overshadowed great
  men of the past, such as Jesus, to give humanity
  direction on its way to evolutionary fulfillment.
  It is believed that the time of his reappearance
  is at hand, and in preparation, he has taken on a
  personal body and is living in London in an
  inconspicuous fashion until the time is right.
  Maitreya's followers say that at his public
  appearing, men from all religions will accept him
  as the particular Anointed One, Messiah or Christ
  expected by their various faiths.

5
The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• He has been expected for generations by all of
  the major religions. Christians know Him as the
  Christ, and expect His imminent return. Jews
  await Him as the Messiah Hindus look for the
  coming of Krishna Buddhists expect Him as
  Maitreya Buddha and Muslims anticipate the Imam
  Mahdi or Messiah.
• The names may be different, but many believe they
  all refer to the same individual the World
  Teacher, whose name is Maitreya (My-tray-ah).
  Preferring to be known simply as the Teacher,
  Maitreya has not come as a religious leader, or
  to found a new religion, but as a teacher and
  guide for people of every religion and those of
  no religion.
• 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 Maitreyas recommendations will
  be a shift in social priorities so that adequate
  food, housing, clothing, education, and medical
  care become universal rights.
• Under Maitreyas inspiration, humanity itself
  will make the required changes and create a saner
  and more just world for all.

The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• In recent years, information about Maitreyas
  emergence has come primarily from Benjamin Creme,
  a British artist and author who has been speaking
  and writing about this event since 1974.
• According to Creme, Maitreya descended in July
  1977 from His ancient retreat in the Himalayas
  and 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 humanitys free will. As a
  modern man concerned with todays problems,
  Maitreya has worked on many levels since 1977 to
  prepare humanity for His outward presence. From
  behind the scenes, the outpouring of His
  extraordinary energy has been the stimulus for
  dramatic changes on many fronts, including the
  fall of communism in the Soviet Union, the
  collapse of apartheid in South Africa, the
  rapprochement between East and West, the growing
  power of the peoples voice, and a worldwide
  focus on preserving the environment.

The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• Outwardly, He has met with groups of journalists
  and influential leaders from all fields,
  informing them of His solutions to todays most
  pressing problems and of the role they might play
  in the coming time. Since 1988 Maitreya has
  appeared miraculously throughout the world,
  mainly to orthodox religious groups, presenting
  in the simplest terms the great spiritual laws
  governing our lives. And, through steadily
  increasing signs and spiritual manifestations,
  now widely reported in the media, He has touched
  the hearts of millions, preparing them for His
  imminent appearance.

The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• On June 11, 1988, Maitreya materialized suddenly
  out of the blue' at a Christian prayer meeting
  in Nairobi, Kenya. Thousands attending
  instantlyrecognized Him as the Christ. He spoke
  to them in their own language andmany reported
  being cured of major illnesses. The KENYA TIMES
  reportedthat, afterwards, a man saw Maitreya take
  a few steps and then disappear.
• The TIMES photographed Maitreya, and the story
  was picked up and reportedby international news
  organizations. As in Kenya in 1988, Maitreya
  continues to appear miraculously throughout the
  world, mainly at meetings of orthodox religious
  groups. Prior to His appearance in different
  locales, He magnetizes water in the area with
  healing energy

Two years later, Creme released a Press Release
announcing that the "Maitreya is the one expected
by followers of all religions. He is, at once,
Christ, the Messiah, the Imam Mahdi, Krishna and
the Fifth Buddha."
9
The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• In Mexico, Germany, and India the healing waters
  have been discovered, and millions of people have
  been drawn to the sites. Many claim they have
  been cured of illnesses such as AIDS, cancer,
  arthritis, and glaucoma after drinking the water.
  
• In August 1993, the American television program
  CBS "Up-to- the-Minute" aired a week-long series
  on the healing waters in Tlacote, Mexico. The
  reporter cited laboratory results which found the
  water to be lighter than normal water. She
  herself claimed that using the water cured an eye
  infection in less than one-third the time her
  doctor had predicted it would take.

Two years later, Creme released a Press Release
announcing that the "Maitreya is the one expected
by followers of all religions. He is, at once,
Christ, the Messiah, the Imam Mahdi, Krishna and
the Fifth Buddha."
10
The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• At the earliest possible moment, Maitreya will
  demonstrate His true identity. On the Day of
  Declaration, the international television
  networks will be linked together, and Maitreya
  will be invited to speak to the world. We will
  see His face on television, but each of us will
  hear His words telepathically in our own language
  as Maitreya simultaneously impresses the minds of
  all humanity. Even those who are not watching Him
  on television will have this experience. At the
  same time, hundreds of thousands of spontaneous
  healings will take place throughout the world. In
  this way we will know that this man is truly the
  World Teacher for all humanity

12
MAITREYA'S APPEARANCES WORLDWIDE
Creme writes that on the Day of Declaration,
Maitreya will be seen on television by all of
humanity through a global satellite hookup. It is
then that he will communicate telepathically with
the entire world by "overshadowing the minds of
all peoples" who "will hear His words inwardly in
their own language." The Christ will communicate
"as an outflow of the Christ Principle (the
energy which He embodies) through the hearts of
all humanity, invoking their intuitive and
heartfelt response" (Mission, Vol. 1, p. 24).
Stating that there will also be many healings
throughout the world, Creme indicates that this
Day of Declaration will be the equivalent of
Pentecost "This Day of Declaration will be a
repetition, only now on a world scale, of 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.
13
MAITREYA'S APPEARANCES WORLDWIDE

• The Day of Declaration is the day when Maitreya
• "will leave no doubt that He is the World
  Teacher. Maitreya will mentally 'overshadow' all
  of humanity simultaneously. Each of us, not only
  those watching or listening, will hear His words
  inwardly, telepathically, in our own language. .
  . . Thus, all will know that the World Teacher is
  now among us. Maitreya's open world-wide mission
  will have begun" (Mission, Vol. 1, p. 11).

The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• 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.

15
The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• 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.
• Benjamin Crème is the channeler of Maitreya

16
The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• Maitreya has chosen this moment to fulfill His
  promise to enter the domain of men and to help
  them on their journey. He is emerging now His
  herald, the star-sign of His emergence, is seen
  worldwide by many and is the signal of His
  appearance, openly, before men. Using the
  television resources of today, He will engage on
  a series of interviews starting in America and
  including Japan and many other countries.
• As an ordinary man, undeclared as Maitreya, He
  will speak for all those who have no voice, no
  spokesman.
• He will call on men to share the goods of the
  Earth and to embrace each other as the brothers
  and sisters they are. He will show that if we
  would have peace there is only one way to achieve
  it that is by the realization of justice
  throughout the world, and that justice can only
  be achieved through sharing. We await the
  response of all men and women of goodwill in
  this, our world.

The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• Is Barack Obama really the New Agers and
  Occultists long awaited Masonic Christ?
• Why was their a massive MASONIC BALL held in his
  honour straight after his Inaugeration ?
• Will he be the one the Bible calls the
  Antichrist, and lead humanity into the NEW WORLD
  ORDER ?
• Ok I just wanna raise attention to a few things I
  have recently discovered that could point to
  Barack Obama being the Maitreya spoken of by
  Benjamin Creme.
• Who is Maitreya?
• Now first off their is the report that apparently
  made headlines around the world of Maitreya
  appearing in a village in Kenya to 6000 people as
  Jesus Christ. The date of this alleged appearance
  was June 11th 1988.
• Maitreya's appearance in Kenya in June 1988
• Ok... so this theory of Barack Obama being
  Maitreya would gain alot more credibility if
  Mr.Obama was in Kenya around the same time as the
  Maitreya Kenyan appearance right? Well funnily
  enough that's exactly where our old buddy Obama
  was...

18
The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• In mid 1988, Barack traveled to Kenya, spending
  five weeks there. During his Kenya visit, Obama
  met several of his paternal relatives for the
  first time.
• Hmmm very interesting indeed! But of course the
  young Obama back in 1988 looked nothing like the
  pictures of Maitreya taken at the Kenyan
  appearance right? Well take a look for your
  self...
• Ok now after taking into consideration that the
  grain of the photos are different, and that the
  facial expressions are slightly different and
  taken at different angles, I am under the
  impression that Maitreya as he appeared in 1988
  and Barry or Barack Obama are indeed the same
  person.
• Now lets move on to some other interesting
  similarities between these two.
• Benjamin Creme has repeatedly said in his News
  Letters at shareintl.org that before Maitreya
  openly reveals his true identity he would enter
  the world stage as a man calling for wait for
  it... CHANGE! Now lets see... what was Barack
  Obamas entire campaign centered on? THE NEED FOR
  CHANGE !

19
The coming of the New Age Christ Lord Maitreya

• Benjamin Creme also said that their would be many
  many people opposed to Maitreyas ideas at first,
  which is exactly what we are seeing unfold now
  with Obamas popularity beginning to shrink, as
  people fear he is leading the world down a path
  to Socialism.
• Now keep in mind that the whole message of
  Maitreya is to SHARE... or in other words to
  spread the wealth around, which is exactly the
  same thing Obama stands for. It's really just a
  fancy way of saying global socialism where the
  middle class would be erradicated.
• Also why was their so much hype about Obama being
  the Messiah, with many New Age people using some
  very Occultic language when describing Obama?
• Some were calling him an evolved being that has
  come to lead humanity into the New Order (aka New
  World Order).. Others such as Nation of Islam'
  leader, Louis Farrakhan openly proclaimed that
  Barack is the Messiah, and New Ager Oprah
  declared him 'THE ONE'. Their were many more
  reports of such descriptions of Obama.
• Just after Obama won the election, Share
  International made the announcement that a star
  has appeared in the sky, heralding the arrival of
  the CHRIST, in much the same way that the star in
  Bethlehem led the wise men to the baby Jesus...
  Is it a coincidence that shortly after Obama was
  Inaugerated as the first truly global president?

• The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ
• Author Nicolas Notovitch
• This book contains amazing accounts of Jesus'
  missing years based on an old manuscript that was
  found by the author in a Tibetan lamasery in the
  1890's.
• New Age boasts that today we have 7 traditions
  (Buddhist, Gnostic, Afghani, Persian, Hindu,
  Kashmiri and Nazarene) that reveal a very human
  Jesus who spoke of Gnosis and God within, and ONE
  tradition that claims he is the literal "Son of
  God." Seven against one. That's why they fear
  and hate Notovitch--he confirmed what already
  existed about Jesus in 6 other traditions, and
  that confirmation went AGAINST Paulene
  Christianity.

• Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ
• Author Levi H. Dowling
• This book is an extensive reworking of the Jesus
  story with strong Theosophical and Spiritualist
  influences. Of interest is the attempt to fill in
  the two decade gap in the Jesus's traditional
  biography. According to Dowling, Jesus spent a
  lot of time in the mystical East where he learned
  esoteric methods from the masters, while
  rebelling against the caste system. The
  narrative, unfortunately, has numerous historical
  inconsistencies, including Jesus meeting
  historical figures who lived hundreds of years
  before or after the first century, e.g. Mencius.
  The book has Jesus studying in India in the
  Orissa area while this is an historically
  important ceremonial area, it didn't come into
  prominence until nearly a millenium later.

• According to the UBF, these "superhuman
  personalities" are from another world.
• They synthesized the work of more than 1,000
  human authors in a variety of fields, including
  an "astronomical-cosmological organization of the
  universe" unknown to modern science and an
  elaborate extension (700 pages) on the life of
  Jesus.
• The UB also reveals that the "Universe is
  literally teeming with inhabited planets,
  evolving life, civilizations in various states of
  development, celestial spheres, and spirit
  personalities."
• In short, the UB is over 2,000 pages of
  "revelations" from superhuman beings which
  "correct" the errors and omissions of the Bible.
• "Urantia" is the name these alleged superhumans
  gave to our planet.
• According to these supermortal beings, Earth is
  the 606th planet in Satania which is in

• The Book of Knowledge The Keys of Enoch
• Authors J. J. Hurtak PH.D.
• The Keys of Enoch is a paraphysical 'codebook'
  written in 1973 by Dr. J.J. Hurtak.
• It is a text of higher consciousness experience
  which explains how the human race is connected
  with a more advanced higher evolutionary
  structure of universal intelligence.
• This book is meant to prepare us for the paradigm
  shift that will affect all aspects of the social,
  psychological and spiritual dimensions of life.
• This work is not a fantasy, nor is it the outcome
  of "channeled information" nor the product of
  mediumship. Due to the nature of a direct
  experience as the basis of receiving the
  information recorded in The Keys of Enoch, it is
  more properly thought of as a revealed
  teaching--similar to those contained in the Bible
  and other sacred writings.
