Maitreya:
Good morning. Welcome to the Mission of Maitreya,
Eternal Divine Path.
This is Maitreya, and we are having Satsang.
Satsang means, "good
company," when people come and talk about God and higher
consciousness, and greater things than the mundane things. In
this case, of course, we are going to talk about the Mission of
Maitreya.
The Mission of
Maitreya
is the fulfillment of the prophecy that the teaching will come that
will unify humanity and all religions together. It will come
at the time that humanity will be in dire need of help to unify and
realize that there is only One God, One Humanity, and One Earth.
We represent that energy.
The explanation is that each religion, which has come to this point,
is a part of the greater truth, and when you put all of them
together, you will see the whole picture and the whole truth of the
Eternal Divine Path. That is what this Path is called.
It has five steps with
two results. Therefore, the Seven Seals in the Path show that
each of the great religions of the world has one of the seals, and
when you put them together, you see that God has been trying to
reveal a Path to humanity through these seals.
So, we are going to
explain these seals today. Every Saturday the Seven Seals and
the Eternal Divine Path will be explained to everyone in the
room. Those who have heard it maybe will see it in different
ways, because each time it is explained it will be explained
differently. Those who are new, of course, will be hearing it
for the first time, and hopefully they will understand what has been
said, see the truth behind it and say, "Yes, that makes a lot of
sense."
Of course, our claim is
not based on empty claims. The prophecies have been fulfilled,
and it has been foretold that there are going to be Seven Seals and
that the book with the Seven Seals will be opened at the end time.
If you have even the slightest sense, you will see that it is the
time of upheaval, destruction, separation, and hateful reference to
each other. Humans are coming to the point that they
absolutely are manifesting amazing hatefulness toward each other
instead of respecting one another and realizing that the Essence of
God is in every human being, and everyone and everything that God
created, is a part of Him.
You cannot separate them;
you have to realize that God is everything. If you realize
that, therefore, you cannot be hateful of anyone. You cannot
hate a person. You might hate some of their actions, but still
the Essence is in them, and they can realize God.
Of course, humanity has a
lot to learn and a lot to unlearn, because every person has their
own ideas, their own understanding. They have read, realized,
and eventually come to some conclusion, that this is the way God
wants things to be. Usually, that is not the way God wants
things to be, but that is their own understanding.
Actually, God said that
He would be a mystery until the
Seventh Angel comes. If you read
Revelation, verse 10:7 that is exactly what God is revealing.
Also after the Seven Seals, seven vials, and seven churches is the
time of the unification and the realization of what God is, and His
mystery will be finished to humanity.
Therefore, no one, not a
single Soul on earth, has the whole truth and knows the mystery of
God until that Seventh Revelation comes to humanity. And, now,
this Seventh Revelation is on earth. You can read this
Revelation, read our Scripture,
The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament,
and see what the mystery is, and you will see the whole picture.
And, if you have been called for this
Mission, you
will say, "Yes, that makes sense," and you will be One.
So you have come to a
room that if you really study what we offer and what is in our
website and in the Scripture, you will see God in a new way, in a
new light. It is the new wine. You have to put it in a
new skin. You have to empty your cup in order for this to fill
in your cup, and you can see, "Yes, that makes sense more than any
other religion or philosophy and the things that I know."
Basically, the Eternal
Divine Path consists of five steps. The first step is
awakening your spiritual forces. That means, meditate,
concentrate, and "Be still and know that I am God." That is
exactly what God said, "Awaken your spiritual forces."
How can you see God?
The only way you can see It is when your mind is still. When
you mind is not still and full of desires, attachments, wants, and
is turbulent, it is just like a lake, a turbulent lake. Can
you see the reflection of the moon? You cannot. It
breaks up to thousands and millions of pieces. But, if you
calm the lake and make it completely still, suddenly you see the
reflection of the moon, or the Divine, in the lake. And you
say, "Yes, that is what they were talking about. That is what
God is."
I am not here to explain
God to you. I can tell you how you can realize God, how you
can see God, how you can go to God, but you are the person who has
to walk the Path to go there. Therefore, the first step in the
Eternal Divine Path is meditation, concentration, prayer, and
any technique that can help you to still the mind and see the
reflection of God within you.
That covers all the
Mystical Paths on earth. There are many, many Mystical Paths
that basically teach, "Know thyself to know God," "Be still and know
that I am God," that you are God, that God is within you.
These, of course, cover Hinduism, Buddhism, Kabala, Mystical
Christianity (just like the Saints in Christianity who realize
Christ, they die in Christ, and they progress), Sufism in Islam, and
many other paths that teach the same thing.
So the first step you see
covers all the Mystical Paths. It unifies Hinduism, Buddhism,
Kabala, Mystical Christianity, Sufis and every other mystical
teaching.
Many mystics say that
that is the end of the Path. You meditate, you realize God,
you drop like a drop of water into the ocean, you become the ocean,
you become one with God, and that is the goal of the life. You
do not have to do anything else. That is the goal.
But, of course, in our
teaching, God reveals that is not the goal, that is not the end of
it. After you meditate and you awaken your spiritual forces,
you direct this energy toward the creation of an environment where
also other people can meditate, awaken their spiritual forces, and
reach higher consciousness.
That next step you can
find in the Old Testament. The whole Old Testament
is based on God is trying to find a people, a community, the twelve
tribes of Israel, who are chosen to be His Children, follow His Law,
bring His Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, bring His Laws on earth, and
all of that.
So the second step in the
Eternal Divine Path is to create Communities of Light,
to create communities, tribes, the communities that are based on God
and follow God's Laws. God's Laws are the dharma or the innate
nature of everything created.
What is the innate nature
of this computer? It is to take my voice, send it to Internet,
and come to you. If it does it, then it is doing its dharma.
But, if it does not, if it continues not doing it, what do we do
with it? We throw it away. We say it is no good.
It is not doing its dharma. It will be lost.
So, in the Communities
of Light everything will be based on the innate nature of
everything. By creation of such communities, of course, more
people will share and help each other. Therefore, they will
have more time to meditate, awaken their spiritual forces, and, of
course, even help greater in the community, and the community
becomes greater in the Spirit and God.
So now, how are we going
to create these communities? The Communities of Light
are the theme of the Old Testament. Therefore, in the
Eternal Divine Path, we bring the Old Testament into the
Eternal Divine Path and unify it with the Mystical Paths.
Now, "I want to be in the
Communities of Light, I meditate, I would like to create one,
now what?" The next step is: sacrifice, not being
self-centered. By realizing you should not be self-centered
but other-centered in the community, you can bring greater energy
into the community. Instead of saying, "What is in it for me?"
all the time, saying, "OK, what is in it for me in the community in
whole?"
Sacrifice, of course, was
the essence of the message of Christ. Christ went all the way
to the cross for his ideal. He overcame being self-centered
and he sacrificed himself for a great ideal.
Therefore, the next step
is the
New Testament and Christ's teaching. Some Prophets have
more than one mission. Christ also released The Grace.
Whoever believes that Christ was the Son of God and he came on earth
to bring this message to humanity will receive The Grace that had
been released after he came to humanity.
So, the third step in the
Eternal Divine Path is sacrifice. The first step is the
awakening of your spiritual forces. The second step is the
creation of the Communities of Light. The third step is
sacrificing for the
Communities of Light.
Now we sacrifice and
nothing happens. We become depressed. Or, we sacrifice
and everything starts happening. We become elated, we become
egoistical, and we say, "Well, we are the people who are doing it."
The moment, of course, we create ego, ego is like an umbrella we
have over our heads, and we will disconnect the shower of The Grace
from God. We will be disconnected from him. Now what?
I am either going to become depressed or I am going to become
egoistical.
The next step is:
to surrender the result to God. That means that I do my best,
I meditate, I try to awaken my spiritual forces, I join the
Communities of Light, or try to start one, and I sacrifice for
them, but after I did all this, I surrender the result to God and I
say, "OK, I did everything humanly possible in my capacity to follow
the Eternal Divine Path. I sacrificed, but the result
is yours, God. I am not going to be attached to it."
Even greater than
surrendering the result is the submission. Submission means
realizing that really God is doing it through you anyway. Who
is God? God is everything. Therefore, if I let God do
through me, I will not be attached to the result because I have not
done anything.
Therefore, with this
realization, you completely free yourself from any attachments.
Neither will you be egoistical, nor will you be depressed but you
continue doing, working, giving, and trying to create the
Communities of Light and at the same time be free from
attachments. You are surrendered and submissive to God, and
that is the message of Islam. Islam means being surrendered
and submissive to God.
Therefore, you can see
that all the Mystical Paths, Old Testament, New Testament,
and Islam have been unified. Now, "I will do all these things
and I will concentrate to help only a small part of the universe.
I will only help my family, or my community, or my city, or my
state, or my nation, or the whole earth." Still that is very narrow.
We have to expand
ourselves and become universalists, and realize that the universe is
our home, God is our Mother and Father, and we are His children.
And, we will direct all these first four steps toward the creation
of His Kingdom in the whole universe.
Therefore, we will
shatter every ounce of the narrowness of the mind. We become
universalists, and we can look at every person in the universe, or
every being in the universe, as a part of God. We will not
discriminate. We will not separate ourselves, and others, from
each other. We will not be hateful or destructive and demonize
other people. But, we will look at their essence. And if
they are wrong, we will try to correct them and bring them to the
Eternal Divine Path, and create the Communities of Light
for them also so that they can become a part of God's Plan.
So, by awakening your
spiritual forces, creation of the Communities of Light,
sacrifice, surrendering and submission, and becoming an
universalist, you will become an Elect. Of course,
universalism, the fifth step, is related to the Baha'i teaching.
Bab and Baha'u'llah brought the idea that all religions are
basically the same. Therefore, it is one God and one humanity.
Of course, as you see in
our teaching, it does not say all religions are the same but it says
each religion has a message, and it goes very well with the
Scripture that God said there are going to be Seven Seals. So,
we can see that our teaching is much more scriptural than any other
one on earth.
Therefore, after you go
through the five steps, you become an Elect. That is what God
was talking about, the Elects, all through every Scripture, that
there are going to be Elects. And, the Elects are the people
who God loves most.
These Elects are the
people who follow the first five steps in the Eternal Divine Path,
and that is the sixth seal. These Elects are the people we are
looking for. They are the people who have gone through these
five steps, or are open to it, see the truth, and realize the beauty
of our teaching. They come and say, "Yes, that makes sense.
We are chosen for this path. We will humbly accept and do the
Will of God."
Of course, many will be
called few will be chosen. Those few already know our
teaching, love the teaching, understand the teaching, and when they
hear it, they say, "Yes, it makes sense." They are not
negative. They are not here to tell us that we are wrong or
anything like that, but that it is great.
So, these Elects are the
coming leaders of humanity. These are the people who will
come, create the
Communities of Light, and help the Mission
start these communities. Eventually, after many communities
are created, they will be connected, and we will have peace and
everything that humans desire to have on earth, and God's Grace will
be with us.
That is the base of our
teachings, and that is what the unification of all religions is.
Now if you have any questions, go ahead and ask, but please stay on
the topic of the Mission of Maitreya. [silence]
If you need more
information, you can go to the website and you will learn more.
During the weekdays, there are three times that people here will be
in the PalTalk. If you have other questions, come and ask
them, and they will answer your questions. They will be here
from 6:30 to 10:00 in the mornings, from 12:00 to 2:00 PM, and from
8:00 to 9:30 PM. You can come at those times and ask your
questions. If they cannot answer your questions, of course,
they refer it to me. I will be here again next week, and we
can talk about it then.
I will give you another
minute or two to ask any questions. If you do not have any
questions, then we will end the Satsang here until next week, and
that will be the end of the Satsang.
Go ahead Khaled.
Khaled:
Thank you, Lord. I just want to ask about Karma. Karma
is something that we commit by ourselves? Or, is it just as
they say in the Arabic-Islamic tradition, something that you have to
do it? You have nothing to do with it. You do not create
it; it is just God wrote down that you have to do such things.
So, you must have this kind of life.
Now again, is Karma
something that we create by ourselves?
Thanks, Lord.
Maitreya:
Yes, Karma is the action in your lifetime. Actually, in the
Koran, if you remember, God said that at the end time, everyone
has their deeds like a necklace around their necks, and they will be
judged according to what they have done.
Therefore, we can see
that even Islam is talking about that your actions will create that
necklace. So therefore, you are responsible for what you do.
It is a well-known Law in
nature that every action will have a reaction equal with your action
and opposite to it. And, the Law of Karma is the same thing.
When you do an action, if it is not good, if it is not divine, if it
is not holy, if it is not Godly, it will create a bad reaction.
If it is a good action, is based on God's teaching, and is based on
the Eternal Divine Path, you will be rewarded and it will be
positively marked down as something good you have done. That
is mostly the Hindu explanation of what Karma means.
But, according to our
teaching, Karma is a process of learning. If you do something
wrong, of course, you will receive negative energy for it. You
have to realize why this negative energy is coming to you, meditate
and realize what was done, what action was there that creates this
negative energy. When you do positive things, positive comes
to you. You meditate and you learn your lesson.
After you learn your
lesson, of course, the Karma will be taken away from you and you
will no longer have that Karma. Therefore, in our
teaching, the explanation is that it is a lesson you have to learn.
When the lesson is learned, the Karma will vanish.
That is how Christ
healed. He said, "Your sins are forgiven." Karma really means
sin. Sin means you do something that is not Godly.
Christ said, "Your sins are forgiven." And when he said that,
that person was healed. The reason he or she had a problem was
because that person had sin, or Karma. And, he forgave him,
therefore, he no longer needed to be punished for it.
That is exactly how the
explanation is here. The moment you learn the lesson, the
moment you are not going to sin anymore, God says, "OK, you learned
your lesson, you do not need this Karma any more," and it will be
taken away from you.
Go ahead, Kahled.
Khaled:
Thank you, Lord. Something else, about giving a name for a new
disciple. I understood that the spiritual teacher gives every
new disciple a new name. And, I did not get a new name from
you, Lord [laughing]. I do not know....
But, something else about
celebrating Sabbath. People must work and will have much work
after that Friday evening and Saturday morning. Is that
breaking the Law of God? Or, how can we understand that, especially
if any new disciple who must work on the Sabbaths? What is
your advice for that? Thank you, Lord.
Maitreya:
About the name, it sounds like you are too attached to it, so you
are not going to receive one [laughing].
In reality, names will be
given only to those people who ask for initiation and will be
accepted to be initiated. Those are the people, as you have
done, and the people who are in the Mission have done, who
realize that they have no choice. This is the Mission
that God sent, this is the last Revelation that came to humanity, it
makes a lot of sense, and they are willing to realize that there is
no other path, no other way for them but this. Then they will
have a covenant with the Mission and me and therefore they
will join the Mission and become the disciples.
Then the next step, of
course, is they start helping the Mission, and eventually
they ask for being initiated. When they ask to be initiated
that is when they receive a new name. And, I will give one to
anyone who asks for initiation and is accepted to be initiated.
At that time, you will receive a new name.
About the Sabbath and you
are working? Of course, we are a very small group, a very
small movement, a small religion. It is a new wine, in a new
skin. We are in a minority. The majority, of course, has
their own idea. Their Sabbath is different than ours, and even
that is not kept Holy, although it is different.
Therefore, we have to
adjust ourselves with where we are and what we do. That is
what a part of our teaching is, subjective approach with objective
adjustment. That means we strive to go toward the goal that we
have set up for ourselves, but we adjust ourselves to the situation
we are in. At the same time, we work toward the creation and
environment that is based on, and is closer to, the Mission
teaching.
Therefore, if you are
working on Friday night and Saturdays, that is fine. But, try
little by little, to change your situation. Change the
schedule or change the timing of your work in a way that you can
keep the Sabbath Holy and in whole. That means Friday and
Saturday all day, from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday, as
the Holy Day of God, the seventh day that God stopped working and
told us, "Keep the Sabbath, forever." He never changed His
Mind.
So just be flexible but
work toward the fulfillment of what you have realized in the
Mission.
Go ahead, DarrenBrad.
DarrenBrad: I had a question on the vibration of, "Kodosh, Kodosh, Kodosh Adoni,
Sabia," which is Hebrew for Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God of
hosts, one of the divine names in the Jewish tradition. I
would like your opinion on this.
Maitreya:
Darren your voice was very low. But, if the question is not
what I understood, you can come in and repeat it. You just
said a mantra, or a power word, and you are asking what I think
about it. Is that the question?
DarrenBrad:
That is correct. Kodosh, Kodosh, Kodosh, Adoni, Sabia.
Maitreya:
Well, it sounds like it is a very powerful mantra. Of course,
all those mantras do come from the higher consciousness and greater
truth. All of them have raised the energy that will affect
your consciousness and your chakras.
At the same time, a lot
of these mantras are given to a specific religion, teaching,
Prophet, and teacher and, therefore, they carry the energy of that
teacher, or that religion, or the people who realized that mantra.
That is why now we have a universal mantra, which is Haree Om
Shrii Hung, Om Nam Kevalam.
Haree Om Shrii Hung means, The Goal Of The Life Is To
Be(Come) Divine. Om Nam Kevalam means, That
Divinity (God) Is Everything.
Therefore, this mantra is
the most universal mantra, which has come from the universal
teaching which covers all the religions of the world, unifies them,
and brings them all together. Therefore, it is not Jewish, or
Christian, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or any specific mantra.
Actually, we can even see
power words in Islam, mostly coming from Hebrew, and the old names
that were used by Hebrew communities. So, they have a more
universal approach because it covers at least four religions on
earth and they have followed the same kind of energy and vibration.
But still it does not go far enough to cover also the Mystical
Paths, the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal. So, they are good
things. They are beautiful. They are very powerful words
and you can use them.
But, if you really want
to become universal and go beyond just one religion or a group of
religions, to the whole Seven Seals, I recommend you try the
Universal Mantra to see how that affects you, to see if that is
going to also affect you in a way that you start opening up even in
the Mystical Paths and other teachings, and go beyond just being a
Jew, or a Christian, or a Moslem, or a Hindu.
I was born in a Moslem
tradition but I no longer consider myself a Moslem. But, I am
a universal person that loves all religions, all people, and all of
humanity.
Actually, I believe those
who follow the Eternal Divine Path are the best Moslems, the
best Hindus, the best Buddhists, the best Jews, the best Christians,
and whomever you want to call them. They will follow the exact
religions of God.
So I recommend you use
the Universal Mantra and see how you can compare that with the
mantra that you just told us. That is beautiful. They
are OK. But, remember this is the time to go beyond one
religion.
I hope that answers your
questions.
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
I would like to know when and how you first came to the realization
that you were Maitreya? If you could give some
explanation of what the term, Maitreya means. Are you
Maitreya, or is Maitreya
something higher than you, like some kind of oversoul, etc? I
have not heard you mention anything about Buddhism as yet, and about
this world being the wheel of illusion, of Maya. Could you
comment on this?
Maitreya:
I think there were four questions. Let us go one by one.
The first question is, When or how did I realize I am Maitreya?
Of course, I was born as
a regular person. Never is it any different with God.
All the people who bring a Revelation or a Message to humanity are
born from a woman, they grow up as a regular person, and eventually,
when they are ripe and come to a special age or stage, they will
realize that they have a mission and a message for humanity.
So, I was raised as a
regular person. Of course, you can say I was a little more
meditative than the regular children around me. Many,
many things, of course, happened until I came to the United States
for my education.
Here I eventually
connected to a group called Ananda Marga and started meditating.
After I started meditating for a while, I realized a lot of
wonderful things. Actually, after six months of meditation, I
started talking about the things that people who have been
meditating for twenty years were amazed at the depth of it.
They started being very surprised that, how do I know the things I
know.
So, it was a kind of an
accelerated process or you can see that you have been meditating for
many lifetimes. And, then when you come to this lifetime, it
is much easier, simpler, and faster to realize things that are hard
for some people to realize.
Of course, after awhile I
was working toward my education and at the same time meditating and
being in Ananda Marga, and I eventually received the name
Maitreya, and also the name Vigi Kumar. That is another of
my names. When I received the name of Maitreya, of
course, I started reading about other religions and all of that.
It is a long, long story.
Actually, we had one whole week during a Feast of Tabernacles that
that was all we talked about, how I became Maitreya.
And, eventually, one of the people in the Mission put it
together as, "How He Became
Maitreya," in much more detail of how it happened. It
is a very long story. But, eventually I reached a point that I
realized that I have no choice but to start this Mission.
At that time, I was not
an American citizen, or even a resident. At the same time, I
was trying to start this Mission. So, it was a pretty
interesting period of time. I only had ten cents in my pocket
to start the Mission and to spread this Message to humanity.
I recommend that you go
to the website. Someone put the URL for that lecture, which
is:
www.maitreya.org/FILES/other.htm/became.htm.
So, if you click on that, that takes you right into that lecture and
you can read all about how I became Maitreya.
The next question is,
What does
Maitreya mean? Maitreya means compassionate.
And, compassionate means the person who loves with the ability to
correct others in their path. Not completely love,
unconditional love that you do not want to correct people but you
just love them. But, compassionate has a greater meaning; it
means love with the ability to help and guide other people in their
path.
Of course, Maitreya
also means friend. It comes from Mita to Mati or something
like that from the other religions and the Chinese language.
There is one story that the name really evolved from Mithra in the
Zoroastrians teachings, and he is expected by the Zorastrians.
So it has a lot of implications and meaning. I recommend you
read in that lecture about Maitreya and all of that.
Am I overshadowed by a
greater being? We do not believe in any greater beings than
God, and God is the Spirit of everything. All the Prophets and
the people who have come to humanity are connected to that Spirit,
to that energy. And, anything between you and God should be
ignored. You should go to God directly. And that is who
comes through me when I give Satsang. That is the Being that
came through all the Prophets and Messengers of God to this point.
There is no, nothing, between God and Me.
And there should not be
anything between you and God. You have to go right directly to
the Source. If a teacher, teaching, guru, or anyone becomes an
obstacle in your path to go to God directly, and they are connecting
you to themselves, those are the false teachers. Run away very
fast.
How does Buddhism fall
into our teaching? Of course, Maitreya actually has
been prophesied by the Buddha to come 2,500 years after his
dispensation, when it has reached a point that it no longer reflects
his teachings. That is exactly now, as we know this is 2,500
years after Buddha. Maitreya is supposed to come and
purify the Buddhist teaching.
We do not believe that
this world is illusion. We believe it is a relative truth.
It is not the ultimate, it is not the Essence, therefore, it is here
for a purpose, for us to learn our lessons and go back to the
Essence, which is Pure Consciousness.
Therefore, the purest
form of Buddha's teaching is not that this world is an illusion but
to use this world to progress, to learn, and eventually reach the
goal, which he called Nirvana, we call Pure Consciousness, other
people call it something else. It does not make any difference
what you call it, the goal is the same, it is to learn our lessons
to overcome the Karma and eventually reach Pure Consciousness, to
return to where we have come from, and bring the universe to the
balance and equilibrium that it used to be in before this creation,
suffering, and destruction.
So, we can see our
teaching, in that essence, is very similar to the Buddha.
Buddha also talked about Sangha and Darma. Sangha means
community. Darma means the innate nature of everything.
Therefore, we also teach the same thing.
We work toward the
creation of the Communities of Light, Sangha, which is based
on the Eternal Divine Path and the innate nature of each
person in the community, which is Darma. Therefore, we can see
that Buddhism also is included in this teaching. Also of
course, Hinduism is a part, because Hinduism is a Mystical
Path.
I hope that answers your
questions.
If anyone has a follow
up, you can come up, raise your hand, and we will go over your
questions again.
Go ahead, Khaled.
Khaled:
Thank you, Lord. About the destroying of the great Babylon in
the book,
The Revelation of St. John, he was talking about destroying
the great Babylon. Some people understand, and I am one of
those people, that the great Babylon, is all the big, great
religions and institutions that do bad things in the name of God.
St. John was talking about this great city Babylon, that will be
destroyed by God through the great leaders over the world.
And actually what has
happened in the last two months, sure enough, some things like that
could be really happening. Because we see for example, it
happened yesterday, or the day before, in Pakistan that they are
going to close all religious schools to practice religious fanatic
things. Now we see everywhere in the world some kind of
Christian war against religious fanatics.
Is that understanding
correct, the great Babylon that the angel talked about are the great
religious institutions who are using the name of God, or do you have
other information for that?
Thank you, Lord.
Maitreya:
In order to understand what the Great Babylon is, let us go to the
origin of it, how the Great Babylon started, and why it was called,
the tower of Babel.
We can see that Nimrod
reached a point that he claimed that he was God. Of course,
they told him that, "There is another God in the heaven that he
claims he is God." Nimrod said "OK, then let us create a tower
that goes all the way to the top and kill the one in the heaven.
Then I will be the only one left, so I will be God."
We can see the same thing
happening in the Garden of Eden, didn't it? God told Adam and
Eve not to do a couple of things. He said, "Do not do this.
Then you are going to be in heaven. You will receive My Grace.
You are going to be in the Garden of Eden."
Then the serpent came and
said, "No, you do not need to listen to God. You are God
yourselves. You can eat of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil and you are God. You do not need God."
Hmm...is there any
similarity between what Nimrod was trying to do, and what Adam and
Eve were trying to do? Both were trying to become God
themselves. They were replacing God with their own ideas, with
their own understanding, and saying that, "We do not need God, but
we are God."
Therefore, the conclusion
is what? Whatever on earth, whoever in earth, is trying to
become God and replaces God Himself, that is the Tower of Babylon,
and that person is acting like Nimrod, and acting like Adam and Eve.
They want to replace God by their own ideas and themselves.
Now, who does it cover?
It covers almost 99.99% of humanity. They have their own
ideas. They have their own teaching. They have their own
understandings, and they say, "No, we know better than God what is
good and evil." And therefore, they babble, like Nimrod
babbled, like Adam and Eve babbled, like all institutions and
religions babble.
How many rooms are in
PalTalk? Go to any of them, people are babbling and attacking
each other. Some say there is no God at all. The other
person says, "No. My God is God. Your God is not God."
"There is God," and the
other one says, "No, this God is God. Your God is no good."
And they, of course, kill
each other, destroy each other, and they create wars and
destruction. Why? It is because each of them wants to be
what? They want to be God. They want to replace God by
their own power, by their own understanding, by their own religion,
by their own sect, etc.
So we can see that the
tower of Babylon, or the babbling, is going on, on earth everywhere,
in every institution, in every country, in every nation, in every
government, and in every religion. Who is not babbling?
We are the only people
who are not babbling. We are saying, "Here is the truth.
God said all your religions are a part of God. You have to go
to God."
You should not even have
a mediator between you and God. I am here to tell you, just
forget about all the mullahs, the rabbis, the gurus, the fathers,
the mothers, and go to God directly.
Every Prophet said, "You
can go to God directly." You do not need these people.
If these people connect you to the Mission, if these people
connect you to God, great. That is great! But, if they
are not connecting you to God, or they are connecting you to
themselves, they are false prophets. They are babbling.
So, you can see that the
Tower of Babylon amazingly covers almost every human on earth.
The only people who are not covered are those who understand the
Eternal Divine Path, understand our teaching, create the
Communities of Light, meditate, realize God, and go back to Him.
I hope that makes sense
to you.
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
Namaste. I realize I must read the website to maybe get some
of the answers to my questions. But, coming directly from you
is obviously going to be better.
You talked not long ago
about Mystical Paths of various religions. I was just
wondering whether you teach a literal stance on the various sacred
scripts, or do you teach that they are more an allegory, such as the
Garden of Eden? Do you teach that was a literal fall about
Adam and Eve? Or, do you think it is more than an allegory?
Maitreya:
Well, actually, if you read our teaching, it is explained that it is
an allegory. It is a symbolic teaching. Adam and Eve are
a representation of the higher and lower natures of man. Adam
also is referring to the first man. In truth, it is reference
to the higher nature, who is Adam. And, Eve is the lower
nature of man. And, the lower nature tempts the higher nature,
"Do not listen to God. You are God yourself. If you
believe what is good and evil, and you can know what is good and
evil for you, you are God yourself and you do not have to listen to
Him. You are going to be fine."
And, that is when The
Grace was taken away. That is because you create ego.
The only problem on earth is ego. That is it! It is that
simple.
If everyone overcomes
their ego and lets The Grace and the Spirit come through, we will
not have any problems. We will see the beauty and the essence
of the Creator, of Consciousness, in every human, in every being,
and we will say, "Yes. I love that part of everyone, because
that is exactly what I have within myself. It is the same as I
am. Therefore, I cannot hate anyone. I cannot destroy
anyone. I cannot even kill anyone because I am killing the
essence of God, I am not letting them progress to their higher
nature, and all of that."
So, most of the
Scriptures are symbolic. Actually, if everyone could know what
it meant, we would not need the
Seventh Angel to come, explain it to us, and open the mystery to
humanity.
If you read THOTH,
our teaching, you will see the meaning of the Garden of Eden.
It has nothing to do with the physical woman and the physical man.
It has something to do with the nature of humanity. Many, many
things are symbolically explained in THOTH, which
opens your mind to a greater understanding of all religions and God.
Go ahead, Hanz.
Hanz Franz:
I have a question on the Archangel Michael. I am a little bit
confused about what happened. I came across a site that says
that Archangel Michael was enthroned on April 19, 1995. I was
wondering also, what is Archangel Michael's relation to you?
Could you please explain?
Thank you very much.
Maitreya:
Well, if you believe everything you read in Internet, you are going
to be confused for sure [laugher].
Was he enthroned at that
time? Well, I do not know, probably you should go back to that
website to see why they are saying that.
To us, Archangel Michael
is one of the elements in the universe. There are three
elements in the universe. There are satva, which is Gabriel,
tama, which is Lucifer, and raja, which is Michael. They are
not really beings but are the elements in the universe. They are
symbolized as angels, and that is what a lot of people believe in,
angels. They become completely confused because each angel is
different looking, is a different kind of shape, and is saying
different things.
It is just like the
people who channel different beings. After awhile everyone who
channels, channels different beings differently, and the same being
says different things to different people. That is when the
confusion comes, and that is a part of Babylon. The people
babble and bring confusion instead of clarification.
Therefore, let us not be
attached to any manifestation. If it is a manifestation, it is
not the ultimate. The ultimate has no manifestation. It
is Pure Consciousness. It is the pure creative force of God.
Everything between this and that purity, even beings in the ethereal
level, are not the ultimate. So, do not be attached to them.
The three angels,
Gabriel, Lucifer, and Michael are the three creative forces in the
universe and cannot be enthroned. They cannot be put on a
throne. The only being who is enthroned is God, and that is
Consciousness and the creative forces.
Therefore, I conclude
that website is incorrect. So, you can completely come out of
it and not to be confused because Archangel Michael is not a being.
It is a force, and therefore it cannot be enthroned.
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
There are many so-called Masters, or Avatars, such as Satria, Sai
Baba, Avida, etc. I was just wondering what your stance is on
these other so called masters who claim to be like the cosmic
Christ, etc., such as Sai Baba, whether you are an Avatar yourself
and what you consider the term Avatar to mean. Sorry, for so
many questions.
Maitreya:
Well, the powers that are given to humanity and the opening of the
Mystical centers are the birthright for every human. Everyone
has some powers and some spiritual gifts that are given to them.
They might use those as being superior or being different, or being
something special because a lot of people do not have all of them
themselves, and because a lot of people have not awakened those
powers, they will accept such powers as from God and will become
their followers. And these people become their gurus, their
teachers, their Avatars, their father, their mullah, their rabbi,
etc.
The way to understand or
to see if these teachers are the true teachers is, do they take you
to God or do they connect you to themselves? If they take you
to God, then you are free to go to God and you are not attached to
them. Of course, you respect them, you love them, and you
accept them as a teacher that God sent to you to guide you to Him.
But, if they attached you
to themselves and claim to be God, then you have run, as fast as
possible, because God never, ever manifested Himself completely, all
the time on earth, ever. Even the greater Prophets who come to
you, they are connected only at the times they talk about God, and
they are the Mouthpiece of God.
No one can claim that
they are God. And if they do, they are in your way to the
ultimate, which is Pure Consciousness. Therefore, do not
accept such a person as a spiritual teacher. They have to
connect you to the Formless, Invisible, Nameless and Eternal, FINE.
Of course, if you accept
them as a Prophet, as a Messenger of God, then you have to have more
stringent measures to realize and recognize if they are or not.
The first question you have to ask them is, "Where in the Scriptures
is it prophesied that you will come, with your name and with the
station you claim?"
If the prophecy has told
that they will come, and the prophecies have been fulfilled through
that person, then you have to see, "Do they teach according to the
Scriptures?" If they teach something that is not Godly and is
not according to God's Word, still they are false teachers and they
are in your way.
So, be very, very careful about who you
accept as the Prophet from God or the spiritual teacher, and be very
stringent in your measure to accept them as such.
The Goal Of The Life
Is To Be(Come) Divine.
Therefore, you have to be very careful who shows you how to be(come)
Divine. And, of course, in our teaching whoever follows the
Eternal Divine Path will become Divine, because that is the Path
of Divinity.
Therefore, the coming of a Prophet, or
the coming of a Messenger, is not an event that happens often.
We have been having Avatars, gurus, and the people who claim to be
God themselves, all through history, in every age, in every
generation. But, the coming of a Prophet, a Messenger, does
not happen every day.
A century goes by, even
actually there were 600 years before Prophet Muhammed came after
Christ. Christ came hundreds of years after Moses, Abraham,
Adam, and all that. It took 1200 years, before Bab and
Baha'u'llah came, after Prophet Muhammed. And, of course, it
has been accelerated at this end time.
So, we have to realize
whom we are talking about. Are we talking about spiritual
teachers? Are we talking about the Prophets and the
Messengers? If we are talking about the spiritual teachers,
they have to connect you to God. If they do not, they are
false teachers. No matter how many miracles they do, do not
fall for it.
Making miracles is your
birthright to do it yourself. And you can do it. As
Christ said, if you have the slightest faith, if you tell this
mountain to go yonder, it will. Therefore, you can do it.
You do not need to fall for miracles and all of that.
Be very, very careful in
understanding who is a true teacher, he who connects you to God, and
who is the Prophet or a Messenger from God, he who has fulfilled the
prophecies and teaches the word of God.
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
...omnipresence and that we are all God. Could you explain
what is in your teachings, how you explain the reason for evil in
the world? If nothing exists but God, I mean even in the
Bible it says, according to Scripture, God said that He created
evil. So why would a living God create evil?
Maitreya:
We could not understand the beginning of your sentence. It
sounded like you were saying that we are all gods.
If that was the beginning
of our sentence, yes, we are all gods with a small 'g.' That
only happens when we manifest God's Qualities. Not everyone is
God. If they do not manifest God's Qualities, they are
disconnected from God's energy and they are not called gods.
But, they have the potential of becoming gods, in His image and
manifest His Qualities.
Therefore, only those who
manifest God's Qualities are gods with a small 'g,' or what the
Bible
calls the sons of God. Of course, Christ himself also said,
Thou are gods. So, we do not disagree that we have the
potential to become god but we never can become the Creator.
There is only one
Creator, one God with the big "G." We have not created the
universe. He created the universe, and He is everything and
everywhere.
Now the next question,
you are saying, what about evil or the devil? Why is there
evil in the world, and why did God create evil? When creation
went out of balance, that is when the creation started. When
the creation went out of balance, the ego was involved, and ego is
the essence of all evil. And evil is the illusion of
separation from God. That illusion brings self-centeredness.
Self-centeredness brings the attraction to the external world.
Attraction to the external world becomes greater self-centeredness
and greater delusion. After awhile, we become evil because we
take the external world as the only truth, and we start separating
ourselves from one another and doing things to each other that are
evil and are not Godly.
Therefore, we can see
that evil is woven, or is a part, of the creation. It will be
with the human as long as they are in their lower natures and they
have the illusion of separation from God.
It is not a being that
goes around, tempts people, has two horns, and all that, as they
have symbolized in many religions. Also, they have symbolized
Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer as beings. They are not beings.
Actually, Lucifer is the
symbol of tama guna, or the crudifying force. That is exactly
what makes the ego and separates man from man because we become
crude, we become separated, and we become more flesh. The more
flesh we become, the more separate from God we will become, and the
more we become separate from God, the more evil we will become.
Therefore, the
explanation is, yes it is created by God because God created
everything. Since God created everything, it is an Essence,
just like the essence of man. It is interwoven with life, it
is our lower nature, it is our ego, it is illusion of the separation
from God, it is Maya, it is the attraction to the external world, it
is temptation, and it is whatever makes us not realize that we are
one with God.
I hope that makes sense
to you.
Go ahead, Hanz.
Hanz Franz:
Thank you very much for answering my other question. You
mentioned, Lucifer. My question is, I have read many of the
books by David Spangler. I was wondering if you agree with him
that Lucifer is an angel of man's evolution. I think you sort
of touched on it just now but in a little different way. And
that Lucifer is important to the kingdom.
I was wondering if you
could explain how Lucifer does fit in, in regards to your teachings.
Thank you, so much.
Maitreya:
Yes, well, actually, perhaps you know that Lucifer means, "shining
star." It becomes a guiding light if you realize that this
external world, the attraction and attachment to it, is an illusion,
and that the ego is the illusion of separation from God. Maya
is the illusion of the separation from God. Then you can know
what Lucifer is. And when you know what Lucifer is, you will
avoid Lucifer to destroy you and take you away from your spiritual
life.
Therefore, the very
Lucifer itself becomes a guiding light in your path, and you see the
emptiness of the external world and what it offers you. The
very external world becomes a guiding light for you, and you can
continue on your path toward becoming Pure Consciousness by avoiding
the pitfalls of the external world and the offers of Maya. You
will evolve in a greater degree. You will become a realized
person and see the external world, not as an illusion, but as a
relative truth. You will see it is not the ultimate truth.
If you are a seeker, you
do not want a relative truth, you want the ultimate truth. You
want the essence. You want to become the essence. You
want to go toward the essence. And, therefore, you want to
avoid those pitfalls in the external world.
You can do that much
easier in the Eternal Divine Path. You can do it much
easier in the Communities of Light, because in the
communities there are a lot of like-minded people like you, who
meditate and awaken their spiritual forces. They talk to you,
they give Satsang, they talk about God, and they help you in a
greater degree in your path, and it accelerates your way to Pure
Consciousness.
So, we can see that
again, the
Eternal Divine Path is the salvation for humanity to overcome
Lucifer, or ego, shatter all the narrowness of the mind, and
eventually go back.
Actually, we are in a
very interesting junction of human evolution. Either we can
destroy ourselves with the weapons we have, or we can realize that
God is One, all these Revelations have come from Him, all religions
are from One Source, and we can unify them now. Then we can
even evolve in a greater degree and create an earth that is really a
heaven on earth.
So, we can see that we
are in an evolutionary junction and knowing Lucifer is greatly
helpful in our path.
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
I have a couple of questions again. All the religions prophesy
about the coming of a new Messiah. Buddhism prophesies about
Maitreya. Christianity prophesies about the second coming
of Christ. Hinduism prophesies about the coming again of the
Kalki Avatar. The Moslem religion talks about the coming of
another Prophet.
Now, how do you relate to
this, because you take the name Maitreya? I thought the
name Maitreya, was basically a Buddhist term. Do
you claim that you are the coming, like Christ, or Messiah, of all
the different religions all rolled into one?
Maitreya:
Yes, Mark, that is it! You are connected to that prophecy.
This is the fulfillment of all those expectations.
I was born by the name of
Mohammed, which is the expectation by Moslems to come from the
Islamic tradition. I was given the name Maitreya, which
comes from the Buddhist background and religion.
Actually, I did not like
the name Maitreya, because when they gave it to me they said
it means compassionate. There were other people who had the
names like Ishvara, "the controller of the universe," or Anandamurti,
"the statue of Bliss," or Krishna, or this and that.
And, I wanted a name that had a better, more powerful meaning.
So, I asked for another
name from another teacher, and he gave me the name Vigi Kumar, which
means, "young prince," which is the expectation of the coming of the Kalki Avatar according to the Hindus. Of course, later on
someone gave me the name Emmanuel, which is also the expectation of
the Christians to come.
And, none of these names
did I give to myself. They were all given to me, and they
fulfill all those expectations from all religions. Also, it
unifies all teachings, opens the book sealed with the Seven Seals in
the Revelation, and fulfills all the prophecies.
Therefore, it leaves no doubt that my claim is legitimate and that
this teaching is from the highest Source.
The only place in the
Scriptures when the whole universe rejoices is when the book sealed
with the Seven Seals is opened. Now it is opened. It is
called,
The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last
Testament. This teaches the Eternal Divine Path.
And, therefore, you can see amazing thing happening here on earth
now. We are calling on the Elects, those who see this truth
and say, "Yes, this makes sense. It is the fulfillment of the
prophecies and therefore, it unifies all religions, and every
religion has their expectation fulfilled."
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
It seems I am asking all the questions today. Ok, let us
concentrate on the Christian prophecies then. What is your
teaching regarding the so-called anti-Christ?
Maitreya:
Anti-Christ is whatever is not Christ. As we said, the
anti-Christ is not accepting Christ and also not bringing God to our
lives. It is not following the teaching of God and Scripture,
which has come to humanity, falling into Maya and the illusion of
the separation from God, and becoming lost.
If you look at the word
anti-Christ, the only time it has been used is in the supplemental
books of the New Testament. Also, it is mostly in John
and Paul's teachings. You can find nowhere in the main
Bible that talks about the anti-Christ.
And, even then, it is
said that anti-Christ, was even there with them at that time.
So it means it is not something that is going to come. It has
been with them. It was on the earth even then. It was
here even before John and Christ. Therefore, anti-Christ is
anything which is not Godly. So, we have to avoid anti-Christ
and realize him.
Of course, it symbolizes
also a lot of people. Those people who are not following God's
Way, God's Will, God's teaching, and Scripture, they are
anti-Christ. Therefore, you can see we have many, many
anti-Christs on earth. It is not one being.
Anti-Christ actually
became much more powerful and more effective since World War II.
After the 1940's we see the Maya, or illusion of separation from
God, became even stronger. And, many people right now, from
the religious point of view, have completely lost their religion.
They say, "We are Moslem." "We are Hindu." "We are
Buddhist." "We are this and that." But, in reality, if
you really go and look at their lives, they do not follow their
religion. They do not follow their rituals. They do not
follow their Prophet. They follow a very Mayaistic life.
You can see anti-Christ
has been much stronger on earth since the 1940's. And, now is
the time to bind him, to stop him, and to create an environment
where anti-Christ is no more, or as little as possible.
Therefore, that prophecy
that anti-Christ will come on earth is already fulfilled and we can
see that the ungodly thing on earth is much stronger than ever
before. That is why we can read in the Bhagavad-Gita
that Krishna says, "Whenever the morality of humanity goes down, and
immorality comes, My Spirit will rise on earth and bring humanity
back to Me."
This is also the end of
the Kali Yoga. The last 12,000 years have been in the Kali
period. We are approaching the Golden Age. The Golden
Age will be based on the truth of God and not on symbols that many
people take as a person, or as a being, or as a reality, because
they are so worldly that they see everything worldly and manifested,
while they are actually allegory and symbolic.
And, that is what
anti-Christ also means. Anti-Christ means anti, against
Christ. Christ is whom? Christ is the Consciousness of
God on earth. He is the Anointed One who brings God's Spirit
to humanity. Anyone who does not accept that Anointed One and
who will not listen to the words of that Anointed One, is
anti-Christ.
I hope that makes sense.
Again, if you have any other questions, raise your hand. I
will give you a couple more minutes. If you do not, then we
will have our Satsang finish here.
Go ahead, Hanz.
Hanz Franz:
Thank you. Yes, I have a question this time about our space
brothers, extraterrestrials. I have read in some book, maybe
it was David Spangler again, but I think he said something about
fundamentalist Christians and those who are not true believers, that
they will be removed to another dimension so that the Kingdom will
come on the earth. They will be taken out of the way by possibly
our space brothers or something like that.
I was wondering what your
teaching is on that subject.
Maitreya:
My teaching is, read the Word of God, the Bible, the Koran,
the Scriptures. Those are what God said is going to happen.
Anyone else who comes and teaches anything which is not in the
Scriptures, it is their own man-made belief and is not based on a
very strong base.
If there are any space
brothers, why should they even bother with us? We have a lot
of problems ourselves right now on earth, and we have not been able
to solve them ourselves. Why do they want to bring us in their
fold and create problems for themselves when we have not matured
enough to take care of ourselves?
The possibility that
there are space brothers or space beings out there is greater than
if we say there are not any, because there are billions of stars and
suns even in our own galaxy. But, there are thousands and
hundreds of thousands, and millions of galaxies all over the
universe. If we believe we are the only life form in this vast
universe, we have a pretty big ego that we think like that.
So, the possibility is greater that there are other beings.
Will they come and help
us to go to higher consciousness? It is not Scriptural.
I do not go with anything, which is not from God and Scripture.
And therefore, I will not accept that unless someone shows me, "Yes,
this thing is happening and that is the way it is going to be."
So, I will not believe in those things at all. And I do not
recommend wasting time for the things that are not Godly.
God already said how He
is going to do it. He said there is going to be a
Seventh Angel, and there is going
to be a book opened with the Seven Seals. The bringing of the
Kingdom has already been given in our teaching. We have the
system. We have shown how to bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On
Earth. The only thing really left is for humanity, for the
Elects, to come together and create the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
And, that is the way it will be.
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
Before I ask my next question, I just wanted to thank you for being
here and for answering the questions. My beliefs are extremely
close to what I have seen from today's Satsang, from what you teach
as well.
Could you tell me, do you
claim any kind of supernatural abilities as in being able to project
into the higher realms, the Buddhic or the Ardi realms?
Maitreya:
If even I could, it will not help you in your Spiritual progress.
It really does not make any difference to anyone if someone else can
do it. That is not the goal of the life. The Goal Of
The Life Is To Be(Come) Divine. The Path to Divinity is
the Eternal Divine Path and following the Eternal Divine
Path.
The ability to go to the
other dimensions is again our birthright. It is given to us to
go to other dimensions and have the experiences that many people
have had.
Many people have gone to
those dimensions by using drugs, LSD, and all of that. What
happened to all of them? Have any of them created great new
Revelations, or religions, or realization for humanity? Have
they solved the human problems on earth?
We can see that going to
those realms is not the goal. It does not really make any
difference to you even if I can go there or not. The most
important thing to us is, "What did God say about these matters?
What is His Will? And how can we solve the problems on earth
that we so badly need to solve?"
If we do not solve them,
of course we will have great wars, and destruction coming to us.
The sooner we all come together and solve the problems, the sooner
peace, unity, and the Kingdom will come. That is much better
than to try to go to the other realms and coming back here, and
still we see, "Huh, the problems are still here. They did not
go anywhere."
So, God has brought this
Revelation to show the creation of the Communities of Light
based on the Eternal Divine Path. And the Kingdom Of
Heaven On Earth is based on the Communities of Light.
So therefore, creation of the
Communities of Light is the most urgent task of humanity.
We should concentrate on that urgent task, instead of being lost in
thinking of who goes to what realm, and who does not.
And, even if I do, it
does not help you. That is the point. Or, if there are
any space brothers, what, are we going to sit here and wait for them
to come and rescue us? Or, are we going to mature, grow up,
and say, "Let us go ourselves?" If there are space brothers,
then we are going to be in equal footing. And, we will say,
"OK brothers, come together, let us create a better universe."
The whole thing is to
bring you down to earth. Let us come down to earth here and
now and see what is the best for humanity. Those things, later
on, will come to everyone, and everyone will realize and recognize
them.
Actually, the human used
to be in the spiritual realm more than the physical body before the
flood of Noah. They had the ability to extract life from the
universe and rejuvenate the body. That is why they lived for
600 years, 700 years, and 1,000 years.
They misused those
powers. The whole reason we do not have those powers is
because we misused them. And, because we misused them, God
closed our third eyes and gave us the two eyes. The only thing
we see is the external world, and we say, "Oh, look, I can see the
external world. That is the only reality I understand."
Then after you progress
and you reach a point that you are ready, God says, "OK I will open
your third eye. You can see a little bit more, a little bit
more, a little bit more, ..."
If we open our eyes or
are able to go to the other realm and see the spiritual things, then
we will misuse them because we still have ego. That is the
whole reason the flood of Noah happened. That is why He
created a new man.
Read THOTH,
and you will understand more what I am talking about here.
Therefore, we see the external world as the only reality.
Actually, the spiritual world is more real than this external world
but because the human does not have access to that real world, they
become attached to anything physical. The spiritual world is
even more real than the space brothers. It will help you even
more than believing that the space beings will come and help you.
Therefore, we have to
progress ourselves. We have to create the Communities of
Light. We have to bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
We have to meditate. We have to get rid of our egos.
And, eventually, the spiritual realm will be revealed to all of us
and it will become more real to us than this external world.
I hope that makes sense
to you, Mark. If there are any other questions, please raise
your hand. I will be here another couple of minutes.
Go ahead, Mark.
Mark_111_1:
One other question, I guess, before you go, as time is running out,
do you claim to have achieved any kind of cosmic consciousness?
In order words, how do you know what God's Will is? I mean,
are you in direct communication with God so that you know what to
teach, and things like that?
Maitreya:
Yes. When I come to the Satsang, sit here, and talk, it is God
who is talking. The Father and I are one, and there is no
other way but me. Therefore, you can see that the cosmic
energy is here now on earth and is the one that has come to
humanity.
Again, how do I know the
will of God? I know by my own realization which is based on
the Scriptures. I know by the Revelation that has come through
me. I know by the prophecies, which have been fulfilled.
And, I know by many, many other signs that have been given in many
ways.
Also, when the Revelation
comes, when The Holy Ghost comes, then it reveals to you, you have
no doubt, the truth that He reveals. If you have the slightest
interest in progressing in your consciousness or your spiritual
thing, when you hear the truth, it hits you. That is why I am
here to hit those who are ready for it.
There are some people
that come here who do not even hear me. They start yelling,
"You are the anti-Christ," and this and that. They did not
hear what I said. They do not have the truth. They are
full of their own ideas.
Therefore, it is because
of my own certainty, the Scriptures, the prophecies, and the truth
that has come to humanity.
Go ahead, Dott.
Dott2ak:
I had a spiritual experience. May I type some of it?
Maitreya:
Yes. Go ahead.
Dott2ak: I had a spiritual
experience with an angel named Maitreya. It was during
a rebirthing session. He came and knelt down next to me and
blew into my mouth.
Maitreya:
Probably it was an ethereal being, and in the ether. It is
something called astral projection or astral traveling. And,
in the ether you can create anything you think. So, it is your
own creation. And, the creative mind is very powerful.
That is why those who do astral projection see many beings and have
many experiences which have been created by their own minds.
Some people wake up, and
they cannot get up. They feel that they have no control over
their body and their body is absolutely limp. They cannot move
it. They cannot do anything. Suddenly you come back to
it and then they can move the body.
That is astral projection. A lot
of people are not aware of it and therefore, they do not know what
it is.
Dott2ak:
I felt that this was important, and I have honored this. The
angel was in the next dimension. I was in the body. He
came to me.
Maitreya:
OK. I got the point. Thank you, Dott. Many people
have had these experiences. As I said, this is made by our own
minds. Actually, the people who go to the astral projections,
some people love it, and it is very beautiful to them. Some
people go there, and they become very afraid and fearful and return
to their bodies very fast.
The reason is that you
take your consciousness with you into that level and you realize and
project what you understand. Therefore, if you have a fearful
feeling and afraid, your fears will come and be exaggerated, and you
can have greater fear. Therefore, you will be very afraid, you
will return very fast back to your body, and your experience is not
good. But, astral projection and the ethereal level is the
fifth level in our teaching.
Many people when they
reach there, feel it is so beautiful and they have so many
experiences. They see so many beings, that they think they
have reached the end of the spiritual path. It is not.
You still have two more steps to go. And, that is Pure
Consciousness, oneness with God, which even ether does not reach.
That is the truth in the Scriptures and our teaching, and they are
greater.
Therefore, many people
think they know Maitreya, they have seen Maitreya, and
Maitreya
has been revealed to them, but what they say is not what I say.
Therefore, it is their own projection. It is not the
Eternal Divine Path.
If they saw me, they will
say the same thing that I say. So therefore, know my teaching.
And, if you saw Maitreya, if I came to you in the ethereal
level, I will tell you the same thing that we are talking here in
this room.
Also, you have to
realize, Dott, that there is also the possibility that people have
experiences, revelations, and they have been told to come to the
Mission, to connect to the teachings of the Mission, or
to be a part of the Mission. That experience might have
been a way to make you become attracted to Maitreya and his
movement. So, that is another possibility that you can explore
and look into.
Go ahead, Dott. I
think you wanted to say something.
Dott2ak:
Yes, I thank you for honoring me with your time.
I received the Holy
Spirit the night before my son passed over, and I was told that I
was going to be able to help people to heal and help them to heal
themselves. And then, this experience happened after that,
like a few years, maybe 15.
I had grounded before the
rebirthing experience. I know about astral travel. I did
not go out of my body. The spirit came to me. I did not
know anything about
Maitreya before that. I did not even know the name.
Just so you know that. And, the angel came over. I felt
it was an angel. And, everyone in the room knew of the
experience that it was quite something. Everyone was crying
and so was I. Just so to tell you that.
I came here because I had
heard about this room and wanted to hear you speak and to discern
for myself in my heart because this is what Holy Spirit told me,
that I am discern truth with my heart.
Maitreya:
That is great, Dott. It is an experience that is the
birthright of every human to experience. The Holy Ghost comes
to us according to our ability and our mission. The healing
power has been given to every human. If they receive The
Grace, they should be able to heal themselves. And, actually,
the Mission of Maitreya does not heal you individually but it
has come to heal the whole earth. And, this time is related
the whole humanity. We teach you how you heal yourself.
It is just like, if you
give a man a fish, he will be hungry tomorrow. But, if you
teach them how to heal themselves, they do not need any healer any
more because they are healers themselves. Everyone becomes
their own healer, and they will heal themselves.
That is the goal.
And hopefully everyone will become a healer and learn how to heal
themselves. Actually, we have seven steps of prerequisites of
spiritual life that if you follow you will learn how to heal
yourself easily.
About, you did not know
about the name Maitreya. Maybe you did not in this
lifetime, maybe in previous lifetimes. It is something that
maybe has been in your consciousness from before and that is why now
it has been revealed to you. So it is not everything we know
in this lifetime that are the only things we know. We know a
lot of things also.
You said it was in a
regression session. They have hypnotized people, and they have
started to talk about their previous lifetimes. For instance,
some American woman said that she had been a German, around twenty
or twenty-five years before, and her name was this. She
actually started talking in German in that state. And, she had
never learned German in this lifetime. She even did not know
how German words were pronounced. So, she started talking in
the German language.
And, she said that she
had been killed in a fire around twenty years ago. They went
and they saw in the paper, yes, there was such a report, such a
woman with that name, and all the things that she said, had
happened.
So there is a possibility
that you might not know it in this lifetime, but probably you might
have known it in a previous lifetime.
Go ahead, Dott.
Dott:
Thank you. I appreciate that. I do understand about
hypnosis. It was a rebirthing class, with a transpersonal
hypnotherapist and a counselor. And, I do agree with you that,
people have retrieved past life information through regression.
Everything that you have
said so far, I know is true in my heart. But, I want to ask
you, do you feel that you are the only Maitreya that there
is, or do you feel that you are a part of Maitreya?
Maitreya:
Well, as I was explaining to another person earlier here, we have to
be connected to God directly. Any other manifestation or any
other thing on earth, which does not connect us to the Formless,
Nameless, Invisible, and Eternal, is not the ultimate in the
manifestation, and therefore is in our way to the goal, which is
FINE, Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal, or Pure
Consciousness, or oneness with God. Therefore, I will not be a
part of anything which is not directly connected to the FINE,
Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal.
The claim here in this
Mission is that we have the last Revelation from God.
THOTH
is the book sealed with the Seven Seals in The Revelation,
chapter 5, and the opening of the Seven Seals when the mystery of
God will be finished. Therefore, I am not a part of anything
but that Ultimate Realization, or Ultimate Manifestation, or
Ultimate Essence. You can say that the claim is that there is
nothing like what we have here in this Mission. It has
not been on earth for at least the last 12,000 years. And,
now, it has been revealed to humanity. Everything else is pale
in comparison with the light that has come to humanity and through
this Mission.
Therefore, I recommend
that everyone go to our website and look at our teaching, read
The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), and realize
what is taught. We are trying to completely connect you to God
directly. Therefore, we actually recommend not to be attached
to any teacher, to any level, to any alternatives, or any guru, to
any rabbi, mullah, or anything but the Essence, the Highest. I
am here to connect you to that Essence. I am not here even to
connect you to myself.
So therefore, you can see
that this is the highest spiritual realization that has come to
humanity and is trying to bring the end to the confusion.
Anything between you and God, anything between you and that ultimate
Essence, will create confusion, separation, and destruction.
Therefore, do not be attached to the ethereal beings. Do not
be attached to the different levels of consciousness. Do not
be attached to the space brothers. Do not be attached to
anything, but go to the Highest, which is the teaching of the
Mission of Maitreya.
And, I even do not want
you to be attached to me. Of course, I hope you respect me.
If I am your teacher, accept my words and follow them. But, I
do not want you to make me God here and then I become an obstacle in
your path to go to Pure Consciousness, or the Ultimate Essence.
So, we can see that in
here we are not really that much into anything but you and God.
That is it! There is nothing between you and God.
Anything in between, just forget it, it is not important. You
can just go right to the Highest.
And, where do you find
how to go to God? You find this in the Scriptures, in
THOTH, by following the Eternal Divine Path, etc.
By following the Eternal Divine Path, you will raise your
spiritual progress a million-fold, and your kundalini will rise,
very slowly, but surely, to make you to become a good person, a
superior human in goodness. And, that is what God is.
God comes from good. God is good. Whatever is good is
God. Whatever is not good is not God, is evil. So, that
is really the simple explanation of what is evil and good and God.
God is good. If it is good, it is God. If it not good,
it is evil, it is not God.
Go ahead, Tahirah.
Tahirah:
Sal-OM, Maitreya. Bill has a question for you.
Bill Hall:
Hello, Maitreya. It is so good to hear your voice, your
teaching. I want to know more, how do you know an Elect when
you see one?
Maitreya:
Hi Bill. How are you? It is nice to hear your voice too.
I hope you are doing well too, your wife, and everyone there in
Florida.
How do we know who is an
Elect? As it has given to you to know who is Christ, who is
the Son of God, who is the Prophet of God, who is the Messenger of
God, it has been given to me also to know what are the Elects.
God told you that you
know Christ by the fulfillment of the prophecies, the teaching that
is based on God's Word and the Scriptures. He told me, "You
know them by their fruits." It is very simple. If you
manifest fruit, you are an Elect. If you do not manifest
fruit, therefore, I cannot accept you as an Elect and say, "This
person loves the Mission, this person likes the Mission,
this person would like to reach to humanity but, he manifests
nothing." An Elect means absolutely, 100% dedication to the
Mission, with the Mission, is in the Mission, is
working for the Mission, etc.
I love them. I love
even those who are not Elects. They are the Essence of God and
a part of God. But, the Elect is the person who follows the
Eternal Divine Path, who meditates, who awakens their spiritual
forces, who puts a lot of effort into the creation of the
Communities of Light, and on and on.
Communities of Light
mean that
people have to come together. They have to come close
together, to live close by each other, to share the resources so
that they can help in even a greater degree. Then they
sacrifice in the community to create a wonderful community.
They surrender and submit to God and know what is the Will of God
for them.
If the Will of God is
just they sweep the floor of the community, "That is the Will of God
for me, and I am going to do a good job."
If the Will of God is to
become a teacher of the Mission, then you become a teacher of
the Mission. If the Will of God is you go and travel
all over the world and give the Word to everyone, then that is what
you do. So, you have to find the Will of God for you, and surrender
and submit to it.
And become a
universalist. It means that you shatter all narrowness of the
mind, realize that God is your Father and Mother, and the universe
is your home.
Such a person will become
a Paravipra, which is an Elect. And they will manifest.
They will give fruit. And, you know them by their fruit.
That is my yardstick. If they give fruit, I see they are the
Elects.
You cannot come to the
room and say, "I am an Elect. I am an Elect. God told me
that I am an Elect." I say, "Good, great. What are you
going to manifest? Are you going to manifest His Kingdom Of
Heaven On Earth? Are you going to manifest anything?"
We have already here
many, many Elects in the Mission who have already manifested
a lot. And, they are manifesting even a greater degree every
day. It is pleasing to see that the manifestation of the
Mission is happening. And, hopefully one day we will reach
a point that we can reach the whole of humanity and that humanity
will see that they are one. There is One Religion, One God,
One Truth, One Humanity. We have shared this all together, we
live in it peacefully, progress spiritually, and bring the Golden
Age to humanity.
Our time is up and I will
stop here with the questions. Thanks for coming to the
Mission. I enjoyed it. I always enjoy it because the
Spirit of God comes through and there is nothing better than being
with God and His Spirit and being in the Joy and the Truth that
comes through Him. I hope you have seen some truth in our
Mission's teaching. Again, we have this room open during
the week also. And, read the website. I hope you are one
of the Elects and come and manifest and give fruit.
Sal-OM. Sal-OM
means, I pay my salutations to the divinity within you all.
See you next week.
