Questions & Answers Q. Is there any specific date for Maitreya's appearance? A. Most people imagine that world events (and the coming of a World Teacher is certainly a world event) take place according to precise dates. They imagine that all Hierarchical decisions are designed for dates written in stone. This is assuredly not the case. The Masters predict certain happenings to take place around a certain time but They know that humanity has freewill and therefore has an enormous influence on the precise timing of a given event. The Masters work in 2,000 year cycles, so for Them really precise timing is not a major consideration. No one knows the exact date on which Maitreya will take up His open work but everyone can understand that it is very, very soon. Since Maitreya will not at first reveal His name and status the onus is on each one of us to recognize Him by what He says and does. In this way people will be recognizing the expression of their aspiration for the future of humanity, rather than simply following `The Teacher'. Q. Is it still expected there will be a worldwide stock-market crash before Maitreya's public emergence? A. No, not necessarily, but the economic movement of the world is towards such a slump, which would probably increase once Maitreya starts His public work. Q. (1) Does the US administration truly believe that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon or do they just want to remove the Iranian president from power? (2) Does the hypocrisy of trying to pressure other nations into not creating their own atomic weapons programme, while America has a large nuclear arsenal, not occur to those in power in the US government? A. (1) Yes, I believe they do. (2) Presumably not! Q. The US-backed Iraqi cabinet have approved a new oil law that is set to give foreign companies the long-term contracts and safe legal framework they have been waiting for, but which has rattled labour unions and international campaigners, who say oil production should remain in the hands of Iraqis. This means that Iraqi oil is up for grabs – and Iraq is now forced to consider all tenders. (1) Was Iraq pressured into agreeing to this bill? (2) If there was such pressure was it exerted by the USA to benefit its own oil companies? (3) Were other countries also involved? (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) No. Q. If a new Messiah comes does this mean that the end of the world is near? A. Maitreya is here, as the World Teacher. Is this the end? On the contrary – this is the beginning of a new time for humanity. But a humanity chastened and relieved of its illusions and destructiveness. For two thousand years, the Christian groups have taught this account of the return of the Christ, coming on a cloud in the last days of the world, the `end days'. This, I submit, is a completely wrong interpretation of Christian scriptures which has distorted Christians' expectations of the Christ's return. The so-called `end times' are to do not with the end of the world but with the end of the Age of Pisces, inaugurated by the Christ through Jesus 2,000 years ago. He promised to return, at "such a time as you think not" – to inaugurate the new age, that of Aquarius. This time He has come Himself to expand the teaching given through Jesus and to prepare the world for the Aquarian experience. What we have to look forward to is not the end of the world, which will not take place for millions of years ahead, but for the creation of a new civilisation based on higher and truer spiritual values than were possible for humanity at the time of Jesus. Jesus Himself, now a Master, works with the Christ on a daily basis and will reform the Christian churches and teaching, as His part in the Great Plan. Q. We are asked, quite rightly, to tell as many people as we can about the emergence of Maitreya. Do we refer to him as Maitreya, or the `World Teacher' or do we announce him as the `Christ'? It seems vital that those carrying out this task are `on the ball' as it were, so that the knowledge given is accurately received and people know who we are actually talking about. A. Maitreya is not concerned about which name you use to refer to Him. He Himself wishes to be known simply as the Teacher. But He is awaited by all religious groups as: the Christ by Christians, the Imam Mahdi by Muslims, by Jews as the Messiah, as Krishna by Hindus and as Maitreya Buddha by Buddhist. When speaking to these groups it makes sense to use the terms they understand. They all refer to the World Teacher for one humanity. Q. There seems, from all Internet and general media reports, to be a lot of UFO activity over Latin American countries. Why is there so much UFO activity there? A. Actually it is not confined to Latin America. There is an increase in UFO activity in many parts of the world. This will continue on an increasing scale up to and beyond the Emergence of Maitreya into the open. Q. I keep hearing recently about `citizen journalism' or `participatory journalism' which seems to be about using the Internet, blogging and mobile phones to record events. Do you think this is a significant development with regard to `people power'? Is it a vote of no confidence in mainstream media? Is it the basis for a network of activists? A. At the moment it is only an expression of general participation in the growing communication technology. Eventually it will be a very useful way for people to co-operate and act together in a demonstration of `people power'. Q. One of the most surprising facts I've learned from reading Share International is that Maitreya and the Masters seem to have a wonderful sense of humour. This makes Them more real and closer, somehow. I hope it is not disrespectful or offensive to say that some of the miracles are very amusing, like gems popping out from under someone's big toe. A. I quite agree. When people come to know the Masters more closely they will recognize that They are filled with the joy of life and have an extraordinary and quick sense of humour. The inventiveness of their imagination is one of the outstanding qualities of their activity. for more information, please see: _http://www.shareinthttp:_ (http://www.shareintl.org/) Jai Guru Dev > You may want to read some of the information on Lord Ashtar as well. Sister Tuella wrote a book called Project: World Evacuation. When I asked archangel Ariel who resides in the upper seventh dimension if Matreiya is a world savior or Avatar his reply was " He is more like a world manipulator". I will be asking Saint Anthony soon who also is from the seventh dimension about Matreiya. I will post the information when it becomes available. Also, coming soon on my website will be question and answer forum. Jai Guru Dev Lsoma. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
