As I postulated in my previous post, Benjamin Creme of Share International has proclaimed the Norwegian spiral to be a ‘Star Sign’ that he predicted would precede the appearance of Maitreya.
Creme has been heralding the appearance of a man he calls, “the Avatar of the Aquarian Age” since the mid 1970s. Creme, who once belonged to a UFO cult called The Aetherians, is on record as referring to Lucifer as “…the name of a great Angel, not an upstart in heaven who revolted against God and was put down into the nether regions as the Devil. That is a complete misinterpretation. Lucifer means light, and comes from the Latin lux, lucis, meaning light. It is the name of the Angel Who ensouls the human kingdom...” The preceding quote is taken from Creme’s own FAQs page (click the quote to navigate to that page), where Creme also expresses agreement with tenets of Theosophy, Alice Bailey, and the Lucis Trust (originally called ‘Lucifer’ Trust).
Maitreya is, Creme tells us, the much anticipated answer to all the world’s problems, embodying the Messiah of all religions.
Having kept up with Share International info for many years, I have to respectfully disagree with your summary of Creme’s information. According to Creme, Maitreya is not the answer to all the world’s problems, we are…human beings are. It is we, according to Creme, who make the wars, foster fear and hatred of our fellow humans, and pollute the Earth. Maitreya, he says, will inspire us to act according to the dictates of Christianity…love thy neighbor as thyself…treat others as you would be treated…act out the truth that “the Kingdom of God is within you”.
Again, with respect, Creme does not call Maitreya the “Messiah of all religions”. Jesus was Messiah the Jews, but they did not recognize Him. Maitreya is, according to Creme, the Teacher awaited by all religions although they each call Him by different names, but He is not a religious teacher at all. He comes, Creme says, as a spiritual Teacher for all humanity, religious or not. He teaches that all men and women are sons and daughters of the one God and that that is not just a religious truth…it is a great spiritual truth. Creme says that Jesus is also already returned as leader of the Christian groups and that Jesus has been working side by side with Maitreya for many years. I do hope that fear and hatred do not ruin anyone’s search for the truth of this most interesting story.
I doubt Jesus is hangin’ at the “peace out” masquerade ball with lucifer in his maitreya costume. Thank goodness for “free will,” creme can chase the good ol’ lucifer down his rabbit hole. I’ll stick with Jesus and sola scriptura. At least we all have ringside seats to, literally, the greatest show in the universe!
Yikes! Sharon, thanks so much for this blog and for alerting us. “Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.” Matthew 10:26 We’ll all be seeing Jesus, our Lord and Savior, very soon.
Interesting. Thankfully, Frank (of the Frank and Chris show) put out a video a short time (before the Share International press release) saying that Benjamin Creme would claim it as a sign for this Maitreya character (who may or may not actually exist):
