Inner Healing
What’s Next for America…Economically, Politically, and Spiritually?
by Lynne Girdlestone
My plan is to release into the world my simple teaching of truth: that men are One, brothers all; that God loves all men equally; that nature provides the sustenance for everyone to share. – The World Teacher, Maitreya
As Wall Street giants tumble and millions lose their homes, jobs, pensions, healthcare and all other elements of “security,” you may find yourself asking, “What’s next?” Although many are fearfully waiting for the other shoe to drop, there is actually reason to be optimistic.
According to British author, futurist and international lecturer Benjamin Creme, we are now experiencing the death throes of an economic system that has, for decades, benefited a relatively few rich and powerful men at the expense of billions of the human family who do not have even the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, healthcare, and education.
Not only have the commercialization of life and excessive speculation in meaningless financial instruments prevented a just distribution of the world’s resources, they also fuel endless wars, which further devastate the innocent and could ultimately end all life on this planet.
Creme, who for over 40 years has been associated with one of humanity’s Elder Brothers—a Master of Wisdom, as they are known in the East—observes that America’s unwise embrace of unfettered greed-based capitalism has led this country to the brink of financial and economic collapse, thereby negatively impacting the entire world. The good news is that upon the awakening of America’s soul qualities, we will move into a new era of unimaginable social, scientific and spiritual achievement. This is our destiny—if we choose to accept it.
Even with a new administration and a real change of heart, it is still hard to imagine how we can get from where we are today to that remarkable future. In fact, says Creme, it would now be impossible without the help of these Elder Brothers, who have guided us for millennia from behind the scenes and are now ready to work openly among us. They will provide the inspiration and practical advice; we must do the work!
These Masters of Wisdom may initially explain that at the core of our political, economic and even environmental crises is a less obvious, but more profound, spiritual crisis. We simply don’t know who we are and why we are here. We do not understand that there is a divine plan behind all life. In truth, we are not victims of a cosmic accident. All life is sacred and interconnected and we are destined for better things than what we have thus far achieved. Without these spiritual insights, we struggle haphazardly through life, separated from each other and from our source.
But within a very short time, Creme says, the head of this group of illumined Beings—the World Teacher, Maitreya—will appear on national television. He will talk about the necessity for humanity to see itself as one family and share the resources of the world so that the needs of all may be met, emphasizing that “without sharing and justice, man will know no peace.” By implementing this one divine principle of sharing, we will eradicate the root cause of most of the suffering in the world today, whether from terrorism and other forms of violence, hunger and poverty, pandemic disease, or the destruction of our environment. Many people believe that without sharing, we may not survive this century.
Maitreya’s first interview on an American television network will be preceded by the appearance of a brilliant star, visible both day and night around the world, similar to the star that appeared at the time of Jesus’ birth. Already this star has been seen by many people around the world. Color photos and news reports are available at www.Share-International.org.
A series of interviews in many countries will follow the American broadcast. People will begin to talk more openly about the wisdom of this man, who will not initially reveal his true status. As conditions continue to deteriorate in the outer world, people will call for more guidance from this extraordinary individual. Finally, the media of the world will arrange an opportunity for him to speak to all of humanity via satellite hook-ups. On this Day of Declaration, Maitreya will speak telepathically to everyone on earth above the age of 14 in their own language. He will explain in simple terms where we have come from, our earthly and spiritual destiny, how we must relate to one another, and how to solve the myriad problems of the world. Simultaneously, hundreds of thousands of spontaneous healings will occur. Millions of people will begin to recognize him as the Expected One of their faith, by whatever name they may call him.
Benjamin Creme’s master has said of this unprecedented day: “Never before will men have heard the call to their divinity, the challenge to their presence here on Earth. Each, singly and solemnly alone, will know the purpose and meaning of their lives, will experience anew the grace of childhood [and] the purity of aspiration cleansed of self. For these precious minutes, men will know afresh the joy of full participation in the realities of life [and] will feel connected one to another, like the memory of a distant past.”
While this vision of the future may challenge many cherished political, economic and spiritual views, it is becoming increasingly clear that yesterday’s methods, however nuanced, will not solve today’s problems. Life on Earth has become exponentially more complex, demanding completely new thinking, approaches, and leadership. That leadership—at the highest level available on our planet—stands ready to step forward and guide all men and women of goodwill into a brilliant new era of achievement. It is ours for the asking!
Benjamin Creme will lecture in Los Angeles August 2 at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium, and in San Francisco August 9 at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre. For more information, visit www.share-international.org.
