Favorite passages

Here are some of my favorite passages. There are many more! [From Message No. 2] There are many reasons why I should descend and appear once more among you. Chiefly they are as follows: Many there are throughout the world who call Me, beg for My Return. I answer their pleas. Many more are hungry and perish needlessly, for want of the food which lies rotting in the storehouses of the world. Many need My help in other ways: as Teacher, Protector; as Friend and Guide. It is as all of these I come. I come, too, to show you the way to God, back to your Source; to show you that the Way to God is a simple path which all men can tread; to lead you upwards, into the light of that New Truth which is the Revelation that I bring. [From Message No. 3] Allow Me to show you the way--forward, into a simpler life where no man lacks; where no two days are alike; where the joy of Brotherhood manifests through all men. Mine is the task to lead and guide, but you, willingly, must follow. Otherwise, I can do nothing. My hands are tied by Law. The decision rests with mankind. [From Message No. 8] When I make Myself known, I shall express the hope of all mankind for a new life, a new start, a readiness to change direction; to see the construction of a New World in which men can live in peace; can live free from fear of themselves or their brothers; free to create from the joy in their hearts; free to be themselves, in simple honesty. My task is but beginning, but even now there exists in men's hearts a new light, a new hope, a sense of a new beginning; a realisation that man is not alone, that the Protector of All has sent His Agent. [From Message No. 11] Throughout the world there are men, women and little children who have not even the essentials to stay alive; they crowd the cities of many of the poorest countries in the world. This crime fills Me with shame. My brothers, how can you watch these people die before your eyes and call yourselves men? My plan is to save these, My little ones, from certain starvation and needless death. My plan is to show you that the way out of your problems is to listen again to the true voice of God within your hearts, to share the produce of this most bountiful of worlds among your brothers and sisters everywhere. [From Message No. 13] Man is made to serve both God and man, and only through that correct service can the path to God be trodden. Each man is a lighthouse and sheds abroad his light for his brother. Make bright your lamp and let it shine forth and show the way. All are needed, every one. No one is too small or young to take part in this Great Plan for the rescue and the rehabilitation of our world. Resolve to do this and be assured that My help will not be withheld. How to start? Begin by dedicating yourself and all that you are and have been to the service of the world, to the service of your brothers and sisters everywhere. Make sure that not one day passes without some act of true

A heart-opening, mind clearing little book.

Reading one entry each morning or evening can change your life. It is far more than the printed words on each page. It is an energy for loving transformation beyond mere words.

Messages from Maitreya the Christ -- Forward

During the years of preparation for His emergence, Maitreya gave 140 Messages through Benjamin Creme during public lectures. The method used was mental overshadowing and the telepathic rapport thus set up. The Messages inspire the listeners to spread the news of His reappearance and to work urgently for the rescue of millions suffering from poverty and starvation in a world of plenty. FOREWORD Knowingly or not, the world stands ready to recognise the Christ. His long-awaited and hoped-for reappearance is now an accomplished fact. On July 19, 1977, the Christ, Maitreya, the World Teacher, Head of our Spiritual Hierarchy, emerged from His ancient retreat and is now in the modern world. With His Disciples, the Masters of Wisdom, He will inaugurate the New Age of Synthesis and Brotherhood. Benjamin Creme, British artist and esotericist, explains: "Early in September, 1977, I was taken before Maitreya Who asked if I would take, publicly, comm! unications from Him which, since 1974, I had received in the privacy of the group with which I work. I said I would try, do my best. On September 6, 1977, the first public Message was given at Friends House, Euston Road, London, experimentally, to find out how I stood up to this kind of mental overshadowing and spiritual telepathy in public, a very different thing from the privacy of one's own group. "The messages are relayed by me to the audience. No trance or mediumship is involved, and the voice is mine, strengthened in power and altered in pitch by the overshadowing energy of Maitreya. They are transmitted simultaneously on all the astral and mental planes, while I supply the basic etheric-physical vibration for this to take place. From these subtle levels, the messages impress the minds and hearts of countless people who are gradually made aware of the thoughts and the Presence of the Christ. A great thoughform is being built on the inner planes, embodyi! ng the fact of the Christ's Presence. This thoughtfo! rm is then tuned into by the sensitives, clairvoyants and mediums of the world who, from now on, will increasingly bring in (in more or less distorted form) the information of the Christ's return. He releases in this way fragments of His Teaching, to prepare the climate of hope and expectancy which will ensure His being accepted and followed, quickly and gladly. "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, a real and living man (albeit a Divine Man) who has never left the world; who descended, in 1977, 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 hithert! o presented -- if people can acce

Everyone can connect at some level with this book.

I enjoy reading Messages from Maitreya the Christ because I can always get something positive and uplifting from any message. The messages are simple, beautiful, powerful and brilliant. Read as many as you wish, or one a day. Either way you will feel better because each message sounds a note of awareness within you that is past all gainsaying and I believe you will know that you have read the truth.
