Welcoming the World Teacher Maitreya, a Conversation with Benjamin Creme by Sydney L. Murray
Share International is a worldwide network of individuals and groups whose purpose is to make known the fact that Maitreya—the World Teacher for the coming age and his group, the Masters of Wisdom, are now among us, emerging into the public arena gradually, so as not to infringe upon human free will.
British futurist Benjamin Creme, foremost spokesperson for this message, has for more than 30 years been preparing the way for Maitreya’s emergence.
Teaching us about Maitreya’s emergence, Creme offers teachings relevant to his priorities: realization by humanity of our divine nature; a world at peace; restoration of the environment; sharing of the world’s resources; and adequate and appropriate food, housing, healthcare and education for all people.
He is a tireless advocate for Maitreya’s teachings and I had the great opportunity to speak with him.
Vision Magazine: Our theme for this issue is Activism. What type of activist do you believe yourself to be?
Benjamin Creme: I was asked to make known Maitreya’s presence in the world. I was contacted by one of the masters, one of the disciples of Maitreya way back in January 1959. It’s been a long time, when in March 1959 Maitreya told me that he was coming sooner than anyone thought possible. It would be in about 20 years, and he said that I will have a role to play in his coming if I accepted him. I was full of the energy of Maitreya, I was full of love for the whole of humanity, and there was nothing else I could do, but say, “I am right here, I’m your man, whatever it takes.” He didn’t describe what would be involved, and it’s been an extraordinary time, much longer than the 20 years that he said it would be. In 1977 Maitreya entered the everyday world, as he came down from his mountain. His base is London, the Asian community in London. There are people in London who know who he is, and there are thousands of people in the Asian community who know he is there but don’t know who he is.
We are not facing the end of the world unless we destroy the world; we are facing the end of an age, the age of Pisces and the beginning of the new age. This is a result of the movement of our solar system, round the heavens in relation to the constellations of the Zodiac. It takes about 25 - 26 thousand years to make a complete circuit, and for every roughly 2150 years we come within the sphere of influence of the energies pouring out into space from these various constellations. That is how it has been from the beginning of time, and will go on being long after we are talking today.
VM: Can you tell me about about transmission meditation?
BC: Oh, absolutely, yes. My master introduced transmission meditation to my group in March 1974, so it’s not old, as meditations are known. It is essentially a meditation of this new age, the Age of Aquarius. The masters are the custodians of all the great energies entering our planet. These come from cosmic and solar, extra-interplanetary space, and sources. And there was a large part of that which is a distribution of these energies into the world, this world, our world. And these energies are so high, that if they came as they were, the bodies of the masters, they would still be so high they would simply bounce off humanity. And so we have evolved transmission meditation. Transmission meditation is a creation of groups of people–there are hundreds of such groups all over the world. These groups meet together on particular dates and times set by themselves and the masters send energies through the Chakras–the (full) centers of the spines of the people in the transmission groups. And each individual in the transmission meditation group is energetically linked to each other. So it’s like the spine is a web of people of devotion and these multiply in the most extraordinary way–the primitive power of the energy sent to the groups. It’s a great cosmic science, the science of triangulation.
Almost all of humanity can be grouped through three individuals, separate individuals, who don’t know each other but are working together, and so on. They work as a triangle, and a tremendous amount of energy can be sent through the same three individuals and every other person multiplies by a (biological) progression the amount of energy sent. So for example if there are three people you have one triangle. If you have four people you have four triangles. If you have 5 people you have 10 triangles. If you have 10 people you have 120 triangles and so on and so on and now you have the matter of creation. And every time–the more people in any transmission groups, the more significant the magnification of the power. If you have, say, 300 people a triangle you have something like 40,000, I don’t know off the top of my head, but something like 40,000 triangles in that number of people. So it becomes tremendously powerful and it is the energy, the transmission, the meditation of the new age, we call it transmission meditation of the new age.
VM: Can you explain the star that’s been appearing around the world?
BC: Indeed—the 12th of December, 2008, we announced to the media of the world—all the world—that soon, very soon, there would appear a star-like object in the sky. It would be brilliant like a star, but obviously not a star. You can’t make a star up and how would I know that a star was going to appear? It is because Maitreya has evolved a plan which (ties with the herald) for his appearance on television. It looks like a star, but it looks more like a planet than a star, it’s large like a planet while stars are distant. It’s in our skies, like planets appear in our skies, millions of miles away. But it doesn’t behave like a planet or a star. It is tremendously brilliant and it changes color all the time, and unlike any planet it changes positions in the sky. It can move up or down or sideways, it can disappear, go back into space which it does all the time. And this star has been seen literally all over the world. The first was in Norway, and the most extraordinary examples of it also appeared in Norway, quite recently, but was a huge circularly moving object. A brilliant light and power shot up from behind the mountains, a mountain in Norway, into the center of the sky and then began to oscillate round and round.
So, everybody in the world became aware that this was top news and it passed from country to country. And then it was said to be a Russian missile, which had been launched and fallen out of control, it was denied by the Russians and the denial was not accepted but in fact, they had nothing to do with it.
It was this star, the same star which has been seen in the sky, all over the sky since December 2008, that is the herald of Maitreya’s presence on television in America for the first time which began earlier this year—the first time he came on TV was the 12th of January of this year. If you look at the YouTube for example, you will see hundreds and hundreds of examples of the star. We have explained to them that this is the star and hundreds of the photos were sent to Share International, our office in Los Angeles and we’ve published as many of them as we can.
VM: Where do you think humanity is headed?
BC: I think we’re headed into the most wonderful civilization this world has ever seen. Really extraordinary and all made by humanity itself under the inspiration and guidance of Maitreya and the masters. There are about fourteen masters living in the world. One of them, living in Rome, was Master Jesus–the one to whom Maitreya (was) 2000 years ago. Eventually there will be about forty masters working in the world, who will come in as needed over the next 2300 odd years. They are mentors and as teachers, the ones here that cannot help but make tremendous advances. The first thing we have to do is to see the world as one being. That there is one group–which we call humanity and despite the differences in color, religion, background and tradition and so on, we are really one group called humanity. And also all that happens to humanity happens to all of humanity. And everyone needs the same things. The priorities of Maitreya are very simple: he says everybody, whoever he is, needs the same things. He needs food; the number one need of all living creatures is food. We need enough ofthe right food. We need shelter. We need healthcare. And we need education. These are basics fundamentals foreverybody in the world. Yet there is no country in the world where they are available unless you have money. So for most of the world, three-quarters of the people of the world, these are only ideals, only dreams that one day they feel that they might have enough healthcare, they might have enough to eat, they might go to school. Maitreya says the crime of separation must be driven from this earth. I have that mission as my purpose.
