The restoration of the world
by the Master –, through Benjamin Creme, 16 March 2009

>From almost every point of view the situation facing men everywhere
grows daily more painful. The economic chaos resulting from years of
unlicensed greed and heartless competition lays waste the honest toil
and aspiration of countless millions. On the whole, the men of money go
blithely on, their treasure intact, while men and women in every country
face joblessness, poverty and fear. More accurate readings of climatic
changes show men how close this planet is to irreversible calamity, and
alarm bells sound loudly on many political fronts, raising to new levels
the factor of stress.

How much more of this tension can humanity bear? For how long will men
accept, mildly, their fate? Desperate men do desperate deeds and already
in their minds, if not yet in their actions, many contemplate
revolution.

Happenings

Behind the scenes, Maitreya watches carefully these happenings, and
gives succour wherever the Law allows. He waits, patiently, for the
build-up of response to the sign of His Emergence, the "star-like
luminary of brilliant power" on which many now gaze in wonder and
even love.

What is desired is some measure of public debate about the significance
or meaning of the Star, thus signifying the emergence of Maitreya, the
World Teacher. The greater and more public the discussion, the greater
does it prepare the way for Maitreya's entry. Soon there will be no
gainsaying. Very soon, Venus will move beyond the sight of men and so
leave the platform of the heavens open to the Star. Then there will be
no doubt that the Star is there for all to see.
If sufficient discussion can be fostered on the various media and
internet it will not be long until men see and hear Maitreya speak. He
will not be so called, that men can judge His ideas rather than His
status.

Crisis

As the economic crisis deepens, a singular reaction is appearing in many
countries: alongside the fear, bravado and growing despair is a new
understanding of the reasons for the crash -- the greed and competitive
spirit at the centre of our systems and, therefore, the need for
sharing. Of themselves, many are awakening to this basic truth and see
sharing as the answer to injustice and war. Thus are many ready for
Maitreya's Call. This realization will grow as the crisis bites
deeper and deeper into the shaky fabric of the outworn forms and
structures that no longer work, can never be made to work for long.

When Maitreya speaks, He will show that this is so, that the world is
ready for the adoption of new and better forms, based on the true needs
of the peoples everywhere. His is the task to focus and strengthen this
growing realization of the oneness and unity of men, of their mutual
dependence and awakening divinity. Thus will Maitreya and humanity work
together for the restoration of this world.
