Maitreya:
Good morning everyone. This is Maitreya from the
Mission of Maitreya. Welcome to our Cyber church and
Satsang room.
We
are going to again study the
Mission
and talk about what is happening in the world. We can see that
the prophecies about what God said in the Scriptures, in the New
Testament, in the Revelation, are coming true right in front of our
eyes.
We can see
that the war (so far it was rumors of wars, but now it is really the
war) has started. The only war that will win the battle and
the war, is the ultimate war of God that is going on right now
between humanity and the truth, or ego and reality.
That truth and reality, of course has come through this Mission
and has revealed to humanity how we can create the Kingdom Of Heaven
On Earth. That is the only way humans should go. Any
other wars might win the battle but they are not going to win the
war because it is not Scriptural, it is not based on the Word of
God.
Any war that we are raging right now on earth is based on human ego.
And human ego never wins. Especially not in this time that the
Word of God is on earth and it is going toward the creation of the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
Therefore, those who want to win
should join the Army of God. The Army of God, of course, does
not take any weapons or destruction but the Word of God, which comes
out of the mouth of the people who have been chosen by God to give
these words to humanity. And like a sword they are going to
cut the untruth from the truth. So if you want to win, join
this Mission and this last stage of fulfillment of the
prophecies of God.
We are just like people who are
in one room. It is like earth is one room, the door is locked,
and we are imprisoned in this room.
If
we create different groups, and each group opposes other groups and
starts not cooperating with each other, are we ever going to get out
of this locked room? It is going to be difficult to do.
But if everyone cooperates together we can see that we can get out
of this room with cooperation and finding the way out.
As
I have said many times, we can destroy ourselves more than fifty
times. The destruction is coming if we do not follow the truth
of God that has come to us. But with cooperation and unity of
all these groups together we can reach to space and in space, of
course, we can have enough resources for everyone.
What is the problem on earth? The problem is really the
resources, isn’t it? We are fighting because of the resources,
because there are limited resources. If we had infinite
resources would we still fight over oil or over different
commodities that we need on earth? No, we would not. We
would probably have everything that we want.
The salvation is unity and reaching to space and bringing enough
resources for everyone to have enough without being so adamant to
have whatever we want because “If we do not have it someone else is
going to have it.” So we have to fight with one another.
The unity of religions has come to humanity. The way to bring
a greater standard of living is given to man. The only thing
we have to do is realize that is the only way out.
The more we scratch each other’s faces, what are we going to have?
We are going to have more people who are angry with each other,
aren’t we?
And no war is the last war as long as it is based on ego. The
only last war can be the one that comes from God and is based on His
Word, His Scriptures, and His Revelations. So we can see that
we have the answer to the human problem, and to the human calamity.
We
can see right now the fulfillment of the prophecy that Europe will
be unified very soon. We can see right now the split between
the two spheres in the West and it is pushing Europe toward becoming
more independent.
There was an article that Germany and France are coming together.
Actually, they are cooperating as one unit and pretty soon all the
rest of Europe is also going to fall in line with them. We can
see the next superpower is going to be Europe, who will emerge as
has been prophesied as the ten toes of the statue in Daniel.
Of
course, we know in the statue the toes were made of clay and iron.
Do clay and iron mix? They do not. It means that
although it seems powerful, the base of the whole statue is not
going to be able to hold together, because the iron and clay in that
statue will fall.
We
can see very clearly that no one has clearer vision than the Mission
of what is coming. So really, if you want to know the news of
what is coming, do not listen to NBC or CBS or anyone, listen to
this Satsang. This is the real news that God has given to
humanity, come and listen. The truth is here.
This is the salvation. This is the way out. And now we are
giving it to humanity. If you are here and listening to this,
you say, “Yes, I should not be following the other things or other
news out there because this is the only way that is going to take me
to salvation and out of this mess that the human ego has created.
You do not have to.
But where is it going to end? It is not going to end into the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
So
you can see the whole thing is coming together very, very clearly.
The vision is becoming clearer and clearer every day. Now
humanity has to come, listen, learn about this Revelation, and see
what we are teaching here.
The old ways are not going to work anymore. The old ways are
based on ego, are based on human understanding, are based on
political maneuvering, and geo political domination, which is not
going to work because the world is becoming smaller and smaller, and
people are becoming more aware of their rights. They are going
to fight back, you are going to fight back, and eventually who is
going to be left?
Of
course, we know that God prophesied that one third of the world is
going to be destroyed. It is very hard when you look at how
many people are suffering from all sides in these wars and this
destruction.
But what should we hold our vision into? We should hold the
Vision of God that “Yes, this destruction is going to come.”
Although intellectually we understand that, still we become affected
with the news of how people are dead or dying, destruction, and all
of that. If you have the universal feeling and vision, no
matter who dies you say, “That was the Essence of God that we
destroyed.”
That person could be meditating for the rest of their life,
realizing the Eternal Divine Path, and reaching Pure
Consciousness, no matter what side they are from. That Essence
of God is in everything.
See, according to this
Mission, when
you realize the Essence of God of everything can you say, “Us and
them?” You cannot say that anymore. You can say,
“Everything is God. We should not destroy any of them.”
So we have to be sorry, or unhappy, for any side that becomes
destroyed.
We
can see that this Revelation, this Mission,
is based on compassion, on love, on universalism. It is based
on the unity of humanity together, and on coming together and seeing
this new way that God has given to man to get out of this mess that
we have created.
Of
course, when you meditate on a deeper level, “This is the Word of
God.” It is not that God is destroying them. It is not
God bringing destruction, human ego brings this disunity and
destruction on humanity that we can see is going on.
Actually, it has been going on for the last 12,000 years. It
is not something new that is just happening here. But now, of
course, it is going to be intensified.
What is the way out? The way out is a new thinking of
humanity, seeing there has to be another way out. And the way
out, of course, is our teachings. The way out is the
Eternal Divine Path.
First of all, one of the biggest problems between humans is
religious separation, isn’t it? Also, the war is going on
based on the salvation of Iraq, or getting Iraq out of what it was
used to. What do the Moslems think the war is about?
They think it is attacking their religion, right?
If
they realize that Christianity and all other religions are a part of
a greater Revelation, then would we have such a separate feeling
from each other? So we can see that the first step is to make
everyone realize that God’s Revelation to this point was separated
because each of them was revealing a part of a greater truth.
So
that is one way of bringing humanity to unity and oneness, to make
them to realize that all revelations of God have come to humanity
for a greater reason. And, of course, that is the Eternal
Divine Path. That is our teaching to humanity to let them
know that all of God’s Revelation is based on each religion, and
each religion is a part of a greater truth.
After doing that, we can go ahead and create Communities of Light.
In the Communities of Light, of course, man has the ultimate
vote, the ultimate truth, or ultimate saying on earth. So the
great directive is that we have to create an earth that each
individual has the greatest right to be here and they are protected.
Every man, woman, and child, and humanity should be given all the
opportunity to progress physically, mentally, and spiritually.
We
have a great task in front of us. But it has been said that
that task will manifest itself. God said His Kingdom will
come. It is not something that, “We are going to do it.”
It is already prepared. Those people who have been called for
this Mission are on earth already.
So
we need a new way of thinking. We have to make man to be born
again. To be born again means to change man to a new way of
seeing the earth, seeing the Word. Seeing the Word of God is
the most updated news and the way for humanity to salvation
physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Therefore, we encourage everyone to go to our website again, to come
to these rooms, listen to the Satsangs, listen to the readings that
people here in this room do everyday and give you all the answers.
Do not come here to fight with them. Do not come here to
disagree with them.
If
you really understand that this is the way and salvation, come here
and learn. Say, “What is the new way of thinking? What is the
new way of seeing the truth? What did God say?”
Did God say there were going to be Seven Revelations, Seven Seals,
and when the Seven Seals are open then will the truth come?
Or, come here and say, “No, my religion says I am the last one, so I
am.” But your religion also says, “I did not reveal the whole
truth.”
So, “I am the only way.” But Christ said, “I am going to
return.” He did not say how many times. He said he is
going to return. He is going to return over and over and over.
He did not say, “I am just going to return one more time.” No,
he said, “I am going to return.” It means I am going to return many
times.
So
come here and learn from this Revelation and be open to it.
Open yourself up to the truth. Then you will not be affected
with what is happening.
It
is going to get worse. We have not even seen the beginning of
it yet. I know it is very depressing.
A
lot of people are very depressed of what is happening but
unfortunately we have to become stronger than we are. We have
to see the Word of God, which said that this thing is going to
happen, and therefore, become detached from it. We are not
attached to any side. We are just attached to God.
Therefore, we are not affected with anything happening on earth or
around us because we know the ultimate truth is going to come as
what God said is going to come: The Kingdom Of Heaven On
Earth. Of course, after one thousand years we all will reach
Pure Consciousness and will be with God all together as one.
So
come here and know the Eternal Divine Path. That is the
salvation of man.
Of
course, you might ask, “What is the Eternal Divine Path?”
You are talking about the salvation of man and the Eternal Divine
Path, what is It?
It
is very simple. It is based on our teaching, based on
what we call, The Greatest Sign. If you go to our
website
www.maitreya.org , you will see an
animated Sign on the very first page. That animated Sign is
called, The Greatest Sign.
The Greatest Sign
reveals that there have been seven great revelations, which God sent
to humanity. And before the Seventh Seal is open every part of
The Greatest Sign, before the Seventh Revelation, is a part of a
greater truth that created a religion on earth.
So
each religion on earth is valid but they do not have the whole Seven
Revelations together. Now they are put together and a Path is
revealed to humanity as the Eternal Divine Path.
It is Eternal because it is
created in eternity. It is Divine because it leads you to
divinity, Oneness with God. And it is a Path, it is a Way.
It does not have any dogma.
You do not have to believe in any dogma, but if you follow the
Eternal Divine Path you will go to God. You will reach
salvation.
The first step in the Eternal Divine Path is awakening of
your spiritual forces. Twelve thousand years ago at the time
of Noah, God made the spiritual forces of the human latent in the
very bottom of their spines, what many Mystics call the
kulakundalini. That latent spiritual force is your birthright
to awaken and see the truth.
The fastest way to do that is to meditate, to use the mantra that
the Mission has given to you, to create an environment to be
able to sit, meditate, and awaken your spiritual forces. So
the first step is meditation, knowing thyself, to know thyself to
know God, God and you are one, recognizing and realizing that not
only God and you are one, but God is Everything. Everything
out there is a part of God.
The Essence of God is also in every human being and creation.
Actually, God is in every atom that you look at. So the very
word that we reveal in the Mission
is a part of the atom. Each atom has that Word, that pulsation
of life in it.
So
the first step is to awaken your spiritual forces. Who says,
“Awaken your spiritual forces?” We can see that many religions
are based on this truth, just like Hinduism, and Buddhism.
What are the Hindus trying to do? You become a drop, you fall
into the ocean, and you become one with God? What does that
mean? It means to know thy self to know God. Therefore,
the first step is to awaken your spiritual forces.
But do you think the people in the war can sit and say, “I am going
to meditate and awaken my spiritual forces while the bombs are
coming to my head?” Can someone do that? Or, if you are
hungry and you do not have any place to sleep, or live, can you say,
“I do not care about if I have enough to eat or if I have a place to
sleep, I am going to sit down and meditate there.” Can they do
that?
So
what is the requirement of awakening your spiritual forces?
The first requirement is having an environment that your
physiological and safety needs are taken care of. If your
physiological and safety needs are not taken care of the first
priority in life is to take care of my physiological and safety
needs.
We
can see that the next step revealed to humanity is in the Old
Testament. In the Old Testament, God is trying to create a
people, the tribe of Israel.
What is a tribe? The tribe is a community. It is the
tribe of Israel, which will follow God and bring God’s Word to their
lives, follow His Laws, and help each other to create an environment
that everyone can progress, and have time to sit and meditate.
So
really, before we awaken our spiritual forces, what should we create
first? We should create an environment that we can even be
able to sit and meditate.
Do
we have that environment on earth right now that everyone can do
that? No, we do not.
So
our first priority in the
Mission
actually is not to awaken our spiritual forces, it is what? It
is to create that environment, not for ourselves, but for the whole
of humanity to be able to sit and meditate. The Eternal
Divine Path is absolutely connected to one another.
Actually, someone was telling me, “How come some people are with you
for twenty years and they are not in Pure Consciousness yet?”
I said they delay their going to Pure Consciousness in order to
create that environment for themselves and others, and eventually
bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. Then everyone can sit
down, meditate, and awaken their spiritual forces.
Doesn’t the Bible say that we will bring an environment that the
lion and the lamb will lie together and will not eat each other, and
that everyone will put their instruments of war away? And that
is where we are aiming.
Eventually, we will reach a point that we will not have these wars.
We will have an earth that everyone is safe, and will have their
physiological and safety needs taken care of. Therefore, they
can spend their time to meditate, awaken their spiritual forces, and
bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
So, right now, we are not trying to awaken our spiritual forces.
We are trying to create the Communities of Light. That
is where we should be aiming and working toward.
Of
course, that is the Old Testament. The whole base of the Old
Testament is the creation of the community. Therefore, we
covered the Mystical Paths like Hinduism, Buddhism, Cabbala,
Sufism, and all the Mystical Paths on earth, in the First Seal.
The next step is Judaism, or the Hebrews, or the Old Testament.
The message of the Old Testament is the creation of the
Communities Of Light.
Can we all, in the
Communities of Light say, “What is in it for me? I want
all the goodies for myself, and I am not going to give them to
anyone else. I want the best standard of living. I want
to have the best car. I want to have the best house. I
want to have the best everything.” Can the rest of the people
have enough to progress? Of course not. Therefore,
sharing and sacrifice come in.
As
we said, if we can reach to space and bring more resources, we do
not have to share or to sacrifice as much. Everyone’s standard
of living is going to go up.
Or, at least realizing that the goal of the life is not to have the
biggest car or the best home. The Goal Of The Life Is To
Be(come) Divine, to be(come) one with God. Therefore, the
more you feel the goal of the life is to be(come) one with God, the
less material things you need.
The less material things you need, some material things you can give
to someone else so they can also have their physiological and safety
needs taken care of. Therefore, they can also sit and meditate
and awaken their spiritual forces.
The Third Step in the Eternal Divine Path is sacrifice.
And, of course, we know who made the greatest sacrifice among the
Prophets.
Christ was the one who was crucified, who was nailed to the cross
and left there to die. And that is not a pleasant way to die,
especially for a person who had no guilt or had not done anything
wrong.
But still people crucify him and say all bad things toward him.
And it has happened to every Prophet.
You might say, “Well, it did not happen to you.” No? You
do not know. Probably we are not put on the cross and nailed
to the cross. But when anyone comes and says, “Maitreya
is a false prophet,” that is a crucifixion. That is crucifying
someone who has no guilt and who has brought the Greatest Revelation
to humanity.
Would you like someone to come every day and say you are a devil, or
fight with you? You can see that that crucifixion happens
every time in the life of the Prophet.
Also it happens to the people who follow the Prophet, of course.
They are also crucified because they follow the truth.
But that is the Third Step, to sacrifice, to share, to bring some of
your blessing of God to other people so they also can have an
environment that they can meditate and awaken their spiritual
forces. And that is, of course, the message of Christ,
Christianity, the New Testament.
That is what Christ was trying to say, “If you have two coats, give
one of them to another person.” That is sacrifice, isn’t it?
We can see that brings Christianity to the Eternal Divine Path.
Not only do we do all those things, we try to awaken our spiritual
forces. Of course, first we try to create the Communities
of Light. We sacrifice for them and the Communities of
Light start happening.
We
say, “I am creating the Communities of Light. I am
working so hard. I am the person working harder than anyone
else and no one is really working as hard as I do. I am the
person really holding this Mission
in my hands and carrying it out.”
What happens? You create a big ego and say, “Oh, I am such a
wonderful person that I am doing all these things.” You create
an ego.
The moment you create ego what happens? What is ego? Ego
is an umbrella that we hold over our heads and we cut the shower of
Grace from God to us.
If
we want Grace we should not have ego. The less ego we have the
greater Grace is going to come to us.
Or
nothing is happening, nothing goes right and we start thinking,
“WOW, I am putting so much effort and truth out and it is not
happening.” You become discouraged. Still, you think you
are the doer. Therefore, you become discouraged.
So
the fourth step is, surrender to God and say, “OK God, I am doing
all these things but I am surrendering the result to you."
As
I have said many times, it does not mean that we do not expect the
result. We do expect the result but we are not attached to the
result. So we expect the result but we are not attached to it.
Greater than surrendering is submission. Submission means I am
not the doer. Actually, I do not exist.
There are two ways of looking at it. Some people say, “We have
Souls.” And some people say, “We do not have Souls.”
That is another thing that we unified here. I was thinking
what we have unified in this
Mission.
In this
Mission
we also unified the question about whether we really
have a Soul or not.
We
do have a Soul because of ego. But we do not have a Soul
because the Soul and God are one. If we really realize God, do
we have a Soul anymore? No. The only thing left in us is
God. We have no Soul left.
So
Soul itself can be a kind of delusion really for humanity.
They think they have a Soul but really God exists, we do not exist.
If
we really reach that point, then we are absolutely submitted to God,
“I am not the doer. God is the Doer all the time, therefore,
how can I be attached to the result of my action, or other people’s
actions, if I am not doing anything. God is Doing it through
me.”
That is, of course, the message of Islam. Islam means
surrendering and submitting to God.
If
we come to the point that we can surrender and submit to God then we
can see absolutely that God and us are one. We become an
absolute pure channel for God.
And is God perfect? Yes, He is. If He is perfect, we do
a perfect job every time, in every situation, and we do not become
elated too much or depressed. We become steady in our lives.
This is the highest spiritual realization. What is the goal of
the spiritual journey? It is to become one with God. If
you are submissive to God and God comes through you all the time,
you are One with God and you have reached the goal of the spiritual
journey.
There is one more step in your Path and that is to become a
universalist. As I say, it is all connected.
The moment you become One with God can you not be a universalist?
Can you say, “I am one with God but I separate myself from this part
of the universe and the other part of the universe?
Automatically you cannot because that moment you realize that God is
everything.
If
God is really coming through you, you see God is in everything,
outside and inside. Therefore, you see God is the whole
universe. I am a part of it, God and I are one. I am
willing to put my life based on reaching Pure Consciousness and
therefore, I do not need too much. I can share with other
people. I can create the Communities of Light, let the
other people also progress, and tell them also that God is
everything. And they become universalists. The message
of universalism came from the Baha’i and Bab’s teaching that is now
called the Baha’i Religion on earth.
So, we can see with these five steps: awakening of your
spiritual forces (all the Mystical Paths, Buddhism, Hinduism,
Christian Mystics, Cabbala, Sufis, old religions like the American
Indians, the Shamans in Australia, and every other religion that is
based on, “Know thyself to know God,” or God is everything. It
is like they see God in the trees, brooks, and wind because they
realize that God is everything, the Great Spirit is in every aspect
in our lives), you try to create the Communities of Light
(an environment that everyone can meditate and awaken their
spiritual forces, the Old Testament), you will sacrifice for
this ideal (New Testament), you become surrendered and
submitted to God (Islam), and you become a universalist (Baha’i
teaching or Bab’s teaching). Therefore, you become an Elect.
Elects are in every Scripture you take and look it talks about My
People, the People God will choose as His People. They will
bring the Kingdom Of Heaven Within and without for humanity.
Of course, that is the Sixth
Seal, which was revealed with a great Spiritual teacher in India,
Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, or P.R. Sarkar. It is P.R. Sarkar,
not P.J. Sarkar. I guess somehow we have it P.J. Sarkar
somewhere in our Satsangs, but it is really P.R. Sarkar. He
brought the concept of Sadvipra that he expanded on. It is his
revelation.
It
became Paravipra. Para means beyond. Vipra means
intellect. It means beyond intellect. In Spirit, in
Intuition, it's greater than analyzing the world out there, but
realizing God within. With this, of course, we will bring all
these Elects together and that is what the Mission
is all about, to find these Elects.
When I started the
Mission,
I thought all the Elects were going to be perfect. They are
Elects. They have been at it for the last 12,000 years.
They are going to be perfect when they come to the Mission.
Of
course, the new Revelation for the last year or so is evolving to,
they have one thousand years to become perfect. So even the Elects
are not completely perfect yet. That is why I created great
compassion for them when I received this new understanding of who
the Elects are. Before that I was looking for perfection.
They said that they are going to come here and they are going to be
perfect, they are going to realize the Eternal Divine Path,
get on with the work right away, and start helping. But, of
course, I realized that we have to work with them still to become
even greater perfection in them. Maybe in a thousand years we
are going to have millions and billions of perfected people that we
can all go to the Godhead together.
So these Elects are the people
who we are looking for. They are the people who will see this
Revelation, this explanation and say, “Yes, how can there be one God
and so many religions,” that God said that there were going to be
Seven Revelations, that God said that after the Revelation of the
Seventh Seal the mystery of God will be finished, and that God said
only the person who fulfills all these prophecies can bring this
Truth. Therefore, it is from God and now we can see…
Also the external events are supporting our teaching absolutely and
completely and we are going toward the last part of God’s Plan.
So
come, get on with the Mission, get on with this Revelation
and Truth, and do not let the external world and what is happening
to it affect you. I know it is hard to do that. I know
it is hard. With all our understanding, still we are going to
become affected. But the more you meditate and the more you
realize this teaching, the less you will be affected with the
external world. And you will be looking forward, actually, to
peace, unity, and the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. The more we
bring people together, as the Scripture says, after the great
Babylon falls, it is our time to come out and manifest this truth to
humanity.
This is the base of our teaching. This is the latest News and
the Greatest News for humanity. Go and tell people that we
have the Good News, the Greatest News at this time, and let them
know that there is a way out.
We
do not have to have this destruction. We do not have to have
this kind of separation between man and man.
We
have to make a new man that they can see each other as a part of
God, not to separate one another because of nationality, gender,
culture, and all of that. If they do not do that, they will
destroy themselves more and more.
If
they realize that there is only One God and we are all a part of
Him, we will not separate any part of God from any other part and we
will create compassion for every being on earth. Then we will
bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
Now I leave the room open for any questions you might have.
Just raise your hand, come to the mic, and ask the question you
might have about any topic. Of course, let us keep it very
high, about the Mission,
and the greater things that we can relate to. Many questions
have already been answered. You can find them in the website.
If
you go to our e-commerce room, there is a search engine.
Search for any topics you have a question for. Actually you
can go right away and listen to it. If you have a computer and
a windows media player, you can go ahead and listen to those
Satsangs right there in our website.
But if you have any new questions, or anything that you have in your
mind, go ahead.
We
have a question here. John, go ahead.
John: Sal-OM Maitreya. My question is about
the relationship between dharma and atman, if there is one, and the
levels.
Maitreya:
What levels?
John: Like universal dharma and universal atman, if there
is any relationship between that.
Maitreya:
John’s question is about dharma and atman and how they relate to the
different levels of karma, of individual karma, community karma, or
collective karma. Is that what the question is?
John: I think so.
Maitreya:
Soul and karma. As we said, when the first time the universe
was created, the first feeling was, “I know.” And then, of
course, “I do.” The moment you do, it did not say, “I am
submitted to God, God is doing it through me, did it?” It
says, “I do.” So the first “I” was created in the universe,
the unit consciousness, the illusion of separation from God was
created.
The moment you say, “I do,” you are the doer. Therefore,
whatever you do has a reaction according to the action you do in the
universe. Therefore, that first feeling, “I do,” creates the
first Karma and the unit consciousnesses started having karmic
reaction into the universe. Karma was created and the moment
karma was created, ego was evolved because ego creates the
subconscious mind.
The moment you create karma, you have a subconscious mind. You
have a memory, which is different than the Universal Memory.
It is your memory, which is different than the Universal Memory.
It becomes the subconscious mind because it is no longer the
Unconscious mind, or the Consciousness of God.
Therefore, you become separated from God right away, the moment you
say, “I do.” Actually, what is the way of getting rid of that
karmic creation? It is submission and surrendering, isn’t it?
If
we submit and surrender to God and we know that God is doing it
through us all the time, will we create karma anymore? We are
not saying, “I am the doer.”
That is what I said, the first expression in the universe was, “I
know.” Knowing does not create karma, does it? “I know.”
OK, I know, God knows. Unless my knowing and God’s knowing is
different. Again, we will be two different entities.
But the moment he said, “I do,” he also created the memory, “I have
done.” That memory of “I have done,” separated the unit
consciousness from the universe and created that separation between
the two beings. You create the illusion of separation from
God.
So
karma is really the action done by an individual feeling separated
from God, or action, which is not based on the universal set-up.
That is what many people call sin.
Some Catholic churches say, “The
moment you sin your spirit becomes darkened.” You create
karma. But because they do not have any explanation about
karma and about how it affects you and the universe they say, “Your
spirit becomes darkened.” Therefore, karma is the result of
being separated from God and acting separate from the universal
set-up.
So
after these individual unit consciousnesses were created did they
all do the same thing, or were taught the same way, or had the same
memory? They started doing different things.
Each individual created separate karmas. They became billions
of billions of billions of separated unit consciousnesses in the
whole universe and they all separated themselves from each other.
Why are me and you not one? It is because you have your own
ego, your own set of memories, your own karmas, or subconscious
mind.
Of
course, the more we follow the Eternal Divine Path, the more
we become One. Why? It is because we all become
submissive to God, don’t we? The Will of God is the creation
of the Communities of Light, and following the Eternal
Divine Path. We become more and more like each other.
We become closer. Until
the last moment that we all merge to God and become One, we have
some common goals, some common base with each other. Do we
create a collective karma now? See, we become similar, don’t
we?
But we become different from whom? We become different from
another group, which does not follow the Eternal Divine Path.
So we create collective karma.
Do
all the Jewish people have the same kind of base of understanding
their religion? Not all of them do but they have some
similarities with each other. Therefore, they create a
collective karma.
Do
all Moslems have the base of their teaching that makes them closer
to each other? They created some kind of a collective karma.
Do
Christians have a basic understanding of their religion that creates
a kind of a collective difference than God’s way of thinking about
religions? So they create collective karma.
The only way to get rid of the karma is to become One with God.
That is, of course, surrendering and submission and the following of
the Eternal Divine Path.
So
there is individual karma, which is the person remembers, does, and
has memory. There is collective karma, that of the groups, or
even a nation.
Do Americans almost think the same way? Or do the Iraqis do
the things very similar? Do they have some kind of a
collective karma together, by accepting a set of beliefs that they
think are the truth?
That is one of the reasons that they are fighting with each other,
isn’t it? The Americans have the collective consciousness of
believing in a set of beliefs, and the Iraqis have a collective
consciousness of believing in a set of beliefs. At least
Saddam Hussein has a set way of thinking that he believes is the
best way to go. And the conflict starts.
Now, how can we unify all these groups together? It is to make
them think like God, let God come through. Will we then have
different, separate karma? We will not. We will become
all One with God and united together.
The
answer about individual karma is your memory, your actions, and your
subconscious mind, and about the collective karma is that the whole
earth has some kind of set-up of thinking. That is their
collective karma. So that collective karma is the group karma,
is the national karma, is anything that binds some people together.
And they do create, of course, collective reaction. That is
why they suffer together in a group.
When a group is together and some calamity comes to them, wouldn’t
all of them suffer at the same time? So they pay for their
karma collectively.
If
a nation has a collective karma together, if a war comes, wouldn’t
they all suffer together? So you can see that when they have a
collective karma they also suffer together. You suffer for
your individual karma.
And what is all this karma about? Karma is to learn your
lesson, to realize that the reason you create karma is because you
think, act, and remember different than God. The more you
surrender and submit to God and you let God come through, the less
karma you will have and you will create, and you will have your
greater freedom toward God.
Are there any other questions? Go ahead, Brad.
Brad: Where did your explanation of gravity in
THOTH
come from?
Maitreya:
Do you mean where I got it or where the gravity itself came from?
Of course, anything in the Mission
all comes from God. I read, study, and keep my intellectual
curiosity sharp because anything you do not use, you lose. It
is a fact of life.
If
you do not exercise and you do not move your muscles, you will
become flabby and you lose muscle mass. If you do not read and
study and go to the Internet and search for the things that you want
to know, you do not progress mentally. So this Revelation is a
combination of mental and spiritual revelation.
I
heard about the forces that the scientists have discovered.
And then, of course, I came to the conclusion that you read in
THOTH that gravity is the power of the mass in the universe
because the tama guna has the power of attraction and crudification.
Therefore, it has the power of pulling things toward the center.
And when the mass becomes large the gravity becomes in a greater
degree.
Brad: It is different from most science and physics.
Maitreya:
Of course, many things that we say in the Mission
are different than scientists and physicists.
We, for example, explain the evolution differently than scientists.
They say that everything is based on chance, or things evolved by
themselves. They put God out of it. They say, “There is
no such a thing as God.”
Brad: They think of gravity as a force.
Maitreya:
According to our teaching gravity is not a force. Gravity is
the reason for the presence of the tama guna. The explanation
is different than scientists, absolutely. It is because
gravity is not a force. It does not exist until you have the
mass.
Of
course, everything has gravity but it does not become effective
until there is a mass of matter. Then gravity exists.
The reason for gravity is it pulls things toward itself.
What does the tama guna do? Doesn’t the tama guna also pull
everything to the center? It crudifies. It makes the
consciousness to ether, then to air, then to fire, then to liquid,
and then to solid? So that power of gravity is the power of
the tama guna, therefore, it is not really a force.
Did you find it?
John: It is under the definition of atom in
THOTH.
Do you want me to read that part,
Maitreya?
Maitreya:
Yes, go ahead.
John: “Science also regards gravity as one of the forces in
creation. However, gravity is the pulling (total amount of
strong force in mass) effect in nature. Because the total
amount of strong force in the mass varies as the mass varies, the
greater or tenser the mass, the greater the gravity.”
Maitreya:
That is it. We just looked at THOTH again, and
John just read it. I do not know if you heard it or not.
That is exactly what the explanation is.
The strong force, as we explain in THOTH is the force
of tama guna. It is strong because it crudifies the
consciousness to different matter and levels.
Every particle in the universe has gravity because of the tama guna.
It is not a force by itself but is the result of the tama guna,
which crudifies the consciousness. Therefore, it is not a
force by itself but is actually the tama guna and is a part of the
strong force, not a separate force.
So
that is the explanation of why we explain it differently than
scientists. And that makes more sense than it being a force by
itself.
Go ahead, Kinjin.
Kinjin: What is Buddhist enlightenment compared to a
Christian being saved? I have this feeling like I should
become a Buddhist. I am a Catholic, Christian, but I am really
attracted to meditation and enlightenment.
Can you give me some advice on that?
Maitreya:
Well, Buddhism is a part of awakening your spiritual forces.
To become enlightened really means to know your self and become a
part of God. According to our teaching, even Buddhism and
Hinduism are not perfect.
So
I cannot advise you to go join Buddhism because I do not believe it
is a perfect religion or teaching. The most perfect thing is
the Eternal Divine Path, or our teaching. I can advise
you, if you really want to become enlightened, to join the
Mission
and follow the Eternal Divine Path.
But if you want to know about Buddhism, Buddha really came to reform
Hinduism. That is why these two religions are very close.
Buddha had enough of all the gods that the Hindus followed.
Those gods had become such an obstacle in the way of the Hindus that
Buddha came and said, “Do not worry about gods, know thyself and
reach Nirvana,” which he explained as something that you reach and
is unexplainable, the same as God that we say is unexplainable.
Some people say that Nirvana is nothingness. It is not really
nothingness. It is a state of complete absorption to the One
and unmanifested consciousness.
Therefore, Buddha did believe in something that some religions
called God and he called Nirvana to separate Buddhism from Hinduism.
He tried to release the Hindus from so many gods and rituals that
were obstacles in the path toward becoming One with their Essence.
Buddhists also emphasize meditation, awakening of your spiritual
forces. Therefore, it is a part of the Mystical Path and is
the First Step actually in the Eternal Divine Path
in our teachings.
The next step is the Old Testament (creation of the Communities
of Light). Next is the New Testament (sacrificing for the
community, to create it). The next step is Islam (to become
surrendered and submitted to God), and next is to become a
universalist.
If
you follow these Five Steps you will receive salvation, or
enlightenment as the Buddhists teach you to reach. So my
recommendation is to go to our website, read our teachings, and send
more questions to us if you have them.
But I cannot recommend you to join any other religions before this
Revelation because I do not believe any of them are perfect.
This is the perfect Path to join and progress.
Kinjin:
So no matter what you do and choose, is meditation the real key to
everything?
Maitreya:
Not the real key but it is the beginning. Also, there are
different kinds of meditation. There is formal meditation that
you sit and meditate.
There are meditations that some people do gardening. They feel
that they are meditating. That is their way of meditating.
Some people go for long drives. That is their way of
meditation.
Some people go fishing or go to the mountain, or go mountain
climbing. Whatever makes you concentrate on the deeper level
of your Soul, is meditation. But formal meditation, of course,
is the fastest way to go.
Some people have a hard time to meditate formally because they drink
too much coffee, or they eat too much tamasic food that are not
letting them have a calm mind. Going for a ride, for example,
is easier for them than to formally sit and meditate because that
obstacle that they put in their body will not let them meditate
easily.
Of
course, that is why the creation of the Communities of Light
will help them to meditate easier because their physiological and
safety needs are going to be taken care of. And also they are
going to have better nutritional food. They will put less meat
or tamasic food in their bodies and therefore, they can meditate
better.
Of
course, greater than meditation and all our effort is The Grace.
And The Grace is the fastest way to go to God.
Therefore, it is a very wide range of possibilities how to go to
God. But if you follow the
Eternal Divine Path, the more you follow the Eternal
Divine Path
the greater Grace you will receive. The greater Grace you
receive the less meditation you need. And even when you
meditate, you are in the ecstasy of being in The Grace.
That is one of the things that Christianity teaches. It is one
of the most important things, which a lot of Mystical Paths do not
emphasize. That Grace is a very important part of God’s Plan
and if you can evoke The Grace of God toward you, you will receive
greater joy and happiness.
Of
course, creating Grace means to do the Will of God, to follow the
Eternal Divine Path, to really meditate (or at least try to
meditate), to awaken your spiritual forces, to try to create the
Communities of Light, to sacrifice for them, to surrender and
submit, and to become a universalist.
If
you do not do those things, you are not following the Eternal
Divine Path. Even if you sacrifice and you resent that you
are sacrificing, you are not really sacrificing. Your ego is
in the way. You are not doing it from your heart. You
are not doing it because you want to do it in a greater degree.
So
the spiritual Path is not an easy Path. But with the
Eternal Divine Path it makes it thousands of times easier.
But you have to understand every Seal very deeply.
Awaken your spiritual forces, what does that mean? Meditate on
each Seal, “What does that mean to awaken my spiritual forces?”
It means that I start to know myself.
If
you do not know yourself then you are not really awakening your
spiritual forces. No matter how long you stay in the Mission
but if I do not know myself it does not make any difference.
Creation of the
Communities of Light, what does that mean? It means to
join with like-minded people. It means to try to create an
environment that everyone can meditate.
Sacrifice means that I do from my heart. Not, “I do it because
there is community pressure,” or anything like that but I do it
because I want to.
Of
course, surrendering and submission to God means that you really do
meditate, you really do create the Communities of Light,
you really do sacrifice, and then you are not attached to the
result, and you absolutely say, “Let God come through and do my
work.”
If
you can let God come through all the time you are One with God, you
have reached enlightenment. You have reached Pure
Consciousness. You have reached the Godhead, whatever you want
to call it.
You have reached salvation. It does not matter what the
religion calls it, that is what it means, “God and I are One.”
Of
course, you have to become a universalist, expand your mind to
include every thing in the universe as a part of God, accept them,
and respect them because of that. So this is the fastest way
to salvation.
Buddhism is really the reformation of Hinduism and that is why it
spread so fast for some time in the Hindu culture. Eventually, of
course, it went mostly to the North of India, and Hinduism again
became the main religion in India. But Buddha was the reformer
of the Hindu religion.
Actually, the Buddhists tried very hard to make the distinction
between Buddhism and Hinduism. If you really, really study
them, it is just a terminology change a little bit, but the goal is
the same.
Hinduism wants to become a part of God. Buddhism wants to
become enlightened. So in a higher level both say the same
thing.
John has a question here. Go ahead, John.
John: My question is about when I am working and I am very
high on God, I feel very good. Then I come home, I meditate a
little, I read the Scripture, and I go to sleep very happy.
But then I wake up the next morning to take the shower or something,
the ego is back, and the mind is going in all directions. I do
not feel connected.
How can I stay connected when I wake up?
Maitreya:
Don’t go to work? [laughing] What is sleep? Sleep is
really a temporary death. We really die, in a sense we are
completely dead.
Why do we sleep anyway? Why does humanity need sleep? We
sleep because we need to go through a deeper level, see ourselves,
connect to the Universal Mind, and learn what is going wrong with
our lives or how we can improve ourselves. Or, we let the
mind… Most of the time I compare that to defragmentation of
the computer hard disc.
When you go out in the morning and there are so many energies and
things that get to your brain and mind, your brain becomes
completely fragmented. Although you are feeling good and you
are feeling high, many things are affecting you subconsciously.
It
is just like, in finding the criminals, they can hypnotize the
witness. When you hypnotize a person, they might remember the
car's license number although they would not remember usually.
So it means that you remember fifty times more than your conscious
mind lets you remember.
If
I asked you what was the license number of the car, you might not
remember it. But if I hypnotize you, then you would remember
it because it comes from your subconscious mind.
Your subconscious mind picks up fifty times greater information than
your conscious mind does. So although you feel good and you
think that you are not affected by your environment, you are.
Environment is affecting you all the time.
That is why, again, we have to create the Communities of Light,
the pure environment that even your subconscious mind does not pick
up all these images that we can see that completely are ungodly and
take us away from a deeper level and God’s way of thinking.
So
when we sleep, we defragment, we get rid of those images. We go to
a deeper level in our beings. That is what sleep is all about.
What is death? Death is a period that we die to really go
deeper and realize what we have done wrong. That is because
our conscious minds are so limited, therefore, we do not know on a
deeper level who we are and how we are affected with things.
Actually if you meditate, the more you meditate the less sleep you
need. If you can really meditate, you can decrease your time
of sleep. So deep meditation itself is sleep.
You consciously feel good, you consciously feel Godly, you
consciously feel great but your subconscious mind is picking up all
those things. When you come home and you fall asleep, where do
you go? You go to a deeper level. You are not elated in
a conscious level but realizing deeper in the subconscious and
unconscious mind that usually probably you do not even want to look
at because the conscious mind is happy but the subconscious mind
still has things you have to work with.
So
when you wake up in the morning you are really more in subconscious
mind than in your conscious mind therefore, you see ego is back.
You thought you got rid of it.
If
you got rid of ego it should not be there in the morning either,
should it? So you really had not gotten rid of the ego, or
subconscious mind, but you consciously made yourself feel good, or
thought about God and became Godly. Also you were affected in
your environment so when you slept and woke up in the morning, the
ego was back. So the answer is to meditate more, meditate
deeper.
If
you need more than five or six hours of sleep, then you need to
meditate more. That is because five or six hours of sleep
should be enough for anyone. If it is not then you really do
not know yourself and your subconscious mind needs more time to
defragment and get rid of the things you do not want to see
yourself.
So
meditate more. As you meditate more and more and deeper, less
and less you will need sleep, and eventually you will wake up in the
morning, you will feel great, and you will feel wonderful. You
will feel God.
Actually you put your head down in the lap of God at night and you
sleep with God all night. You will wake up in the morning and
still you are sleeping, God is right beside you, and your ego is no
longer there. So the answer again is deeper realization of
self.
Also meditate on why you feel elated and good on the surface, it
sound like, but on a deeper level you still need work. So go a
little deeper than just being happy on the surface and see, are you
happy very deep inside? Meditate on a deeper level so that you
know yourself in a deeper level.
The deeper we go, and the deeper we meditate, the less sleep we
need. Also when we wake up we will be much fresher, ready to
go, and united.
All right, it sound like there are no more questions in the room.
I will leave you all to God. Think about this Satsang.
Of course, the Satsang will be in the room maybe tomorrow or the day
after. Again, listen to it and let everyone know this is the
best place to have the latest news and what is coming up.
We
can reach out and let everyone know that there is a way out of this
earth and the mess that we have created. The Way is the
Eternal Divine Path, God’s Way, and the coming of the Kingdom of
God on earth.
Let them know the Good News, the Great News and let us all come,
join, and create Communities of Light. Eventually other
people will also see this is the Truth, this is the Way, we may
bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, and everyone will be
respected, will be given the opportunity to physically, mentally,
and spiritually progress to the highest.
Sal-OM everyone!
