Newsletter for the Mission of Maitreya, Eternal Divine Path Issue #4 – April 21, 2000
Announcing: A new edition of THOTH! Now THOTH is available for $19.00!!! "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals." (Rev. 5.1)
THOTH (The Holiest Of The Holies, The Last Testament) is the book "sealed with seven seals." It is the Revelation from the Most High, showing how to bring His Kingdom on Earth. For many years we have been producing THOTH by hand, with a very expensive binding. Therefore, it had to be priced high just to cover the costs of production. Finally we have available a THOTH which will allow more people to know the Wonderful Revelation of the Opening of the Seven Seals and the Unification of all religions on earth! This THOTH has the same material as the original THOTH, with a few changes (there are a few additional supplements added, such as "Does God Speak to Everyone Directly?") The less expensive "perfect binding" and improved formatting allows the price to be much lower. Of course, we will still offer the $99 THOTH, with a beautiful leather cover, to those who wish to have this THOTH. Also with this more expensive book you can have your name gold stamped on the back.
To order either THOTH, go to: https://www.maitreya.org/ecom/index.asp. On the left side window, check the option: Our Scripture, and click on the bottom "Show Items" (no quotes), below the Categories’ list. It is the second item on the next page. Note: If you have ordered a THOTH within the last year, we will send you one of these "perfect binding" books, free of charge. Just email us to let us know that you want one! To wet your appetite, the following pages will give you a better idea of what is in THOTH.
PREFACE The book, The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament is the collection of the eighteen books, plus the Supplements and The Glossary, written by Maitreya. Like any other Scripture, although it reveals many truths, it is a puzzle. That is, to understand the whole truth and message, all the books should be read, contemplated, understood and put together until the whole picture and depth, with His Grace, can be grasped. The book is called The Holiest Of The Holies because it contains explanations of most of the Holy books of the world and how all of them are related together, complement one another, and are from the same Source. It is called The Last Testament because it is in the seventh stage of human progress that all the truths of the relationship between man and the universe are revealed. The teaching of Maitreya, which is the seventh one, reveals the whole Plan of God. So it is also called The Last Testament. THOTH has been divided into four sections: THE HOLIEST containing the first twelve books, KINGDOM the next three books, ESSAYS (three books of essays) and SUPPLEMENTS. The section THE HOLIEST is primarily about creation and history, the explanation of how God has directed humanity the last 12,000 years, and many things that had happened in the past and a few things of the future. The essence of this section is the Eternal Divine Path. The first book in this section is called The Holiest Book which is the longest book in THOTH. It contains the basic teachings from which the rest of THOTH has been derived. This first book has been divided into seven sections as "Holiest" one to seven. KINGDOM contains three books which explain how human social systems have been guided for the last twelve thousand years, and a system to manifest His Kingdom on earth has been presented. The ESSAYS are mostly about the future and how things will manifest or should be. The unity of all religions of the world, as is explained in THOTH, was revealed to Maitreya after a long time of being guided step-by-step to reach this point. The story of this period by itself is incredible and can be considered a miracle. It culminated in a vision when he visited the Baha'i Temple in Chicago in 1977. Then the vision gradually formed itself into a sign, The Greatest Sign. In 1978 these teachings were put into written form. They continued to be refined as the years went by. However, the basic teachings based on The Greatest Sign remains the same. Like a painter who first sketches the overall outlines, and then gradually continues to bring the picture to more clarification, so did these writings continue to be refined. The "overall outline" is The Greatest Sign, but as the teachings continued toward more detail, these details needed to be fine-tuned to deeper meanings. This reaching for the deeper meaning still continues. That is why in each new edition of THOTH, there might be some new small changes and editions. There is also the section SUPPLEMENTS, which will be added to each new edition, if necessary. SUPPLEMENTS are additional essays which are written to clarify and explain some points, answer some important questions, or expand the meaning of the main part of the book THOTH. This part will be expanded in each new edition, if necessary. There is also other literature which can be considered as supplements to THOTH, such as the Golden Keys series, The Plan, etc. This will continue until Maitreya is satisfied that fairly all questions are answered and no misunderstanding is left. If you do not understand all the teachings, or they do not appeal to you at first, do not let this concern you. Accept that which you understand and like; the rest will also gradually be revealed to you. Not everyone resonates with all parts of any Scripture but all parts are necessary. Different parts of Scriptures are written for and appeal to different people! If you have any questions, ask and they will be answered. If the history, different religions, beliefs and even present events of the world are studied, you can find each of them occurring because the emphasis is on one or a few narrow realizations, which each is a part of THOTH. Different realizations in THOTH also will be emphasized in different situations in the future, according to the time, place and people involved. THOTH therefore, is a revelation for each and all people, time and situations! Some parts may never appeal to you or to any culture, etc. Remember the true teaching of Maitreya is the non-dogmatic practical path which is the Eternal Divine Path. Other explanations and revelations should not become a source of separation. If such a situation is created, the arguments should be stopped and the attention directed toward this practical path, which is to follow the Eternal Divine Path, unify humanity, and bring His Kingdom on earth. The verses with their numbers in the beginning of the sentence are explanations or were written by Maitreya. The sentences indented and/or with their numbers at the end of the quotes, are from other Scriptures. The brackets used in verses from other Scriptures were added to emphasize, refer to a point, or clarify the meaning of a word or the verse. The contents of each book in THOTH can be explained as below: THE HOLIEST

O, Son of Man For thousands of years humanity has longed for a truth, revelation or knowledge that explains the unity of God behind all mystical experiences, previous revelations and religions of the world, and the truth behind the universe (science). There have been mystical explanations of God from those claiming they have experienced the truth by direct contact with Spirit. There are also those who have founded great religions of the world. However, a great confusion still reigns among spiritualists, religions of the world, and the many different branches within each religion. This is partly because of the lack of knowledge of the followers of each religion, that they each are a part of a greater truth (Eternal Divine Path). If this is understood by each and every one of them, they have no choice but to be unified. Also, it is partly because God (Infinite) can be explained and understood in Infinite ways. Each group or branch has closed itself to any input from other realizations. The ultimate realization of God is an individual achievement not based on any organization, church, denomination, group, etc. Spiritual beings are not chosen by men (organizations, etc). God chooses those He wills. Lastly, this confusion and separation between humanity in the spiritual level is because of those (intellectual spiritualists) who have created dogmas which have resulted in many sects and cults born out of each religion and/or mystical experience(s). Whatever separates man from man, or for that matter any part of the universe from any other part, is not from God. God unifies; ego (intellect without spirit) divides. Every explanation and mystical experience has some truth. Each of these truths appeal only to some people. However, the whole is the sum total of all and more. The ultimate truth is personal experience. Then there is another disciplinary body which is trying to unveil the truth behind the universe through experimental studies, the sciences. They have presented one powerful tool to this process: verification of each theory by observation, reasoning, and scientific experiments through scientific tools (models, machines, theories, etc). However, science can only go so far. Science can only explain the universe to the brink of the physically manifested universe and spirit. Then it reaches a point where scientific experiments and observations no longer are possible. Science no longer can explain! Scientists can verify the different forces working in the universe and/or particle existing, but where these forces have come from they cannot explain. They see a logical and explainable manifested universe but what or who is this logic behind it, they cannot know. If they cross this point and call this logic, "God," then they pass the threshold of science and spirit. They are no longer accepted as scientists; they have entered the realm of the mystics. However, science and spirit (God) are as close now as they ever have been in the known history. There is a very thin layer separating them. Even this layer has been shattered by many who have started to see or have seen these two as One. Many scientists have reached a point where they have begun to accept a unified base for the manifested universe. They realize that there is a single Law (God) operating the whole creation. The mystics are also accepting science as a way to verify the truth behind the manifested universe. However, the ultimate step which would make these two One has not yet become universal. One of the aims of THOTH (The Holiest Of The Holies) is to bring the spirit (mystery) and science (practical verification of creation) together. Besides the mystics who have had direct experience with the spirit and scientists who have reached the threshold between spirit and manifested universe, there are also others. There are those who are called religious people. They are suspicious of any scientific explanations or anything which is not according to their dogmatic beliefs. The scientists are logical and beyond emotional bounds. The mystic is sure and detached from any dogmatic furry. However, those with dogmas are emotional and easily aroused and/or manipulated. There are also many who claim they have had direct experience in the spirit, or claim they are chosen, but are not. These people can be a great obstacle in the path of a seeker of the truth. These claims stem from nothing but ego. That is why it has been said, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" (Matthew 7:15). Every individual has the power to experience God. When such an experience occurs, purity will permeate from the person, which is beyond ego. Such people then can teach God (mysteries). Now the question can arise: What is the role of the great religions of the world? It is here that the concept of Messiah comes into play. There have been many great mystics and religious beings, but few have come to establish a great religion in the world, or reveal a great truth to humanity. These great spokesmen have appeared in the last six thousand years or so. There usually is a long period of prophecy of their coming. It is to distinguish them from any other ordinary spiritual event or claim. Also it is to prepare humanity for each step of the revelation of a Master Plan. This Master Plan has been formulated to be revealed gradually to humanity. It is a seven step path which reveals an Eternal Truth for human progress to its ultimate Goal. Each part of this Plan has been revealed to humanity by the Christ (Messiah); the culmination or synthesis of this Plan is revealed in THOTH. Prior to the last twelve thousand years, man had the knowledge of spiritual powers. He was able to manipulate them. However, he did not follow the Eternal Truth which had been revealed to him in order to keep creation in its purity and harmony. He misused his powers and knowledge. That is why he failed, and that is when great disasters befell him.
It was then that it was decided to create human history, and only guide him spiritually by revealing the truth of this Eternal Path during the last twelve thousand years. This path has been recognized and existed from (in) eternity. It is a path of spirit. So it is Divine. That is the reason it is called the Eternal Divine Path. This seven step path, Eternal Divine Path, is revealed to humanity in the form of a sign, The Greatest Sign. In this sign not only have the seven stages of the Eternal Divine Path been crystallized, but it is shown that each step in the path is the focal point of one of the great religions of the world. The first step in this path is concerned with all the Mystical Paths, which explain the relationship between man and God (universe). These teachings are the ancient wisdom that has come to us. This first seal also covers those religions that are based on mystical experiences (such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Cabbala, Sufism, etc). The understanding of this first seal (step) is the spirit of all religions. The next six steps each represent one great religion or revelation which has been revealed to humanity. Each of them are explained to represent one truth, which when put together with the first step (mystical understandings) reveals the whole process of the Eternal Divine Path. The Greatest Sign also explains Creation and History, reveals the essence of "Be"-ing (God) and much more. The whole teaching in THOTH evolves around The Greatest Sign and is based on it. Still new realizations can be recognized about The Greatest Sign as a person meditates on It. It can be Infinitely explained. The Greatest Sign not only reveals the Eternal Divine Path, but also unifies all the religions of the world. So It unifies humanity. Even if a person calls himself an atheist or an agnostic, they most probably believe in science. THOTH and The Greatest Sign can even help them to see the Logic behind science. In short if one is open, and is not closed by believing in a set of dogmas, he can see God in the universe. Then all humans can be unified under Him. The shape of The Greatest Sign has been designed to be built as a Temple. This will accelerate the unity of all of humanity. Besides unification of all religions of the world and mystical knowledge, it has also been foretold that God's Kingdom will come to earth at the end of this era (world). The sign of such a longing can be seen all throughout the earth. The dawn of a new era has been felt by millions. The sign of the end of the old era is apparent in every corner of the earth. This new era is not to return to the old, but to combine the old and the new to a synthesized (whole) way of life. The new era is the time of realizing and implementing the ancient truths combined with the new technology (with the use of natural, renewable and pollution-less resources) to improve the life of man. The new technology will free man from the mundane. The ancient truth will guide him to the Goal. This new way of life necessitates a new system to make it workable. This new era neither can exist based only on diversity and the decentralized mode of the agricultural era, nor on a centralized unified notion of the industrialized period. The coming of the new era will be more diverse than the agricultural period, but will be highly connected to the rest of humanity or even the universe. This system, therefore, has not only to recognize and accommodate for this diversity, but also to maintain the unity between the complex interrelated components existing on earth. That is why the uniqueness of every individual and community has to be recognized, by allowing them to function based on their desired (designed) destiny and culture. However, each and every community will also be connected through their need to participate in the system. This allows diversity to exist in the unified body of humanity. The inter-relationship between them, in the long run, will gradually bring a unified and greater culture on earth. To present such a system is another main purpose of THOTH. This system is an integral part of the Eternal Divine Path and The Greatest Sign (second seal). This system will bring justice to All. Justice is closest to the Heart of God. The Messiah (Christ), a true Saint (Mystic) or anyone who is One with God, has The Grace of God with him. Salvation is possible only through His Grace. Such people, through His Grace, can each lead a person to Him (salvation). Together The Greatest Sign, the Eternal Divine Path and THOTH, Is the ultimate manifestation of Christ. They are the sum total of all there IS. They not only lead an individual to God, but also the whole of humanity collectively. God alone Is Salvation. Amen ( Maitreya
