GOLDEN KEYS VII

 
INTRODUCTION

 
Each of these booklets contain answers given by Maitreya or approved by Him to questions which were asked in the letters He received from many (Note: the questions in Golden Keys 7 are mostly from emails).  Each question and its answer is like a little Golden Key to unlock the meanings of His Mission and teachings a little further.

The questions are separated into categories.  After the question and answer, there may be a reference to the books in The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament or The Plan, the main writings of Maitreya.

We hope these booklets answer all questions you might have.  If not, you can further search for answers in our website.  If your questions have still not been answered, please send them to the Mission.  You will receive answers that are either directly from Maitreya or have been reviewed by Him.  We may use answers that are not a repetition in new Golden Keys in the future.

EXPLAIN GOD

 
1- I watched an old documentary about Absolute Zero in physics.

In the last half of the program, I became increasingly fascinated and stunned as they talked about what happens as we approach the temperature of Absolute Zero or PERFECT STILLNESS.

They arrived at a point a few millionths of a degree above Absolute Zero where atoms of various elements would turn into an entirely different state of matter, lose their identities, and seem to overlap and assume a oneness while still remaining unique.

One of the scientists said that this made him joyfully stunned and yet uncomfortably confused.  The atoms seemed to be so aligned that they were in one place but also everywhere at once.

They have achieved the level of one billionth of one degree above Absolute Zero.  But they feel that they can never achieve actual Absolute Zero...  "Be still and Know that I am God," it is actually a true statement!

What IS a Boze-Einstein-Condensate?

All the things you explained above support our teachings that the ultimate realization is Oneness with God (In Stillness).  However, as our teachings reveal and scientists are also discovering, God does not want them to reach this state (He will spue them out), as in this state there is no mind and/or explanation.  It has to be experienced.

If they ever could reach that state, they would not know what happened to the materials they experimented on, because that matter would be scattered all over the universe and One with it (beyond human perception and mind).  So they are right: They never can achieve the Absolute Zero because even if they do they will not be able to know what happened and/or explain it!

The implications of these new discoveries will result in the science called Metatronic Science that the Mission advocates.  It is Science based on Spirit.  Indeed God has already given the way to use science to explain the universe.  As you mentioned, one of them is: Be Still...!

The Bose-Einstein-Condensate theory espouses the same idea: That as matter is heated it eventually loses its identity and is present in all places at once.  It becomes One!

  

2- Where do new souls come from?  The total population of the world is steadily increasing at all times.

There are infinite (very huge) numbers of souls in the manifested universe.  What we have on earth is a "drop in the bucket" compared with what is in the universe.  So it is not surprising that the population will increase and still there will be souls who are waiting to be incarnated.  Being in the body is a rare opportunity for each soul.  It is in the body that a soul can advance to grow in Spirit toward God (Oneness).

  

3- I have been reading THOTH again.  "He" and "They" are used interchangeably in Scriptures when referring to God, and this can be confusing.  Is God "He" or "They" or both?

Is God The Supreme Consciousness (FINE) and the three creative forces of (G) Gabriel, (O) Michael, and (D) Lucifer who cannot be separated?  Is "They" used when referring to all four, and "He" when referring to the Supreme Consciousness?

When we say thanks to GOD, are we thanking the Supreme Consciousness, or all four?

I have been contemplating that GOD is the Supreme Consciousness and three gunas which cannot be separated from Him, the Eldest and the Elders like the top of Mount Zion.

About the question you are asking, it has been said: If all the materials that can be used to make pens are made into pens, and all the liquid in the universe is made ink, if you write about God using all these pens and ink, when all the pens are broken, and all the ink is dried, you have not even started to begin to explain God.  That is why we say God is an experience, not an explanation!

I can give you some pointers to satisfy your intellectual curiosity.  However, do not expect a clear answer:

God in the Highest state is Complete, without beginning or end (there goes the intellectual logic and curiosity, how can that be explained!).  In this state S/He has no concern for the external world (creation).  It is Self-Contained and Complete!  This state has to be Experienced to be Understood.  Nothing can explain it.  Infinity/Eternity, etc. is only Understood when it is Experienced!

In the concerned state for the external world, He is God the Father (Pure Consciousness) and God the Mother (Creative Force, Prakrti, Three Gunas).  In this state God is Father/Mother God (They).  However, they are inseparable (One).  Although you can Call It, Them, it is an illusion to think this way as they are Ever One.  So when you thank God, you thank Them/One (S/He).  See how confusing it is becoming already?  It is like trying to separate the two sides of a sheet of paper.  Even if you cut the two sides of the paper and separate them, there still will be two sides of the paper no matter how thin you cut the paper!

This delusion of trying to explain God is one reason for the separation/confusion between religions and humans.  One religion says God is three (Father - Consciousness, Mother - Holy Ghost - Creative Forces, and the Son - The Messiah).  Another religion says that God is One, not three.  Another religion says there are many gods (God's attributes in the manifested world).  The interesting thing is that they all are right and at the same time wrong.  In the Highest state there is no mind to even question His validity.  In that state you are One.

I know this is not what you want to hear (does not answer your question).  But that is how it is: God Cannot Be Explained intellectually.  It has to be Experienced.  You can try to explain Him/Her/It, but I can tell you beforehand: You Will Fail.

  

  

ABOUT MAITREYA

 
1- I have looked on your website and cannot as yet find the answer to my question: When and how will Esa appear on earth or is he Maitreya?

It clearly says in the Bible (The Revelation) that God will send seven religions.  The Prophet of all of them, and any other time God desires a Major Prophet to come, is the Spirit of God who is reincarnated as that Prophet.  Christ was the Spirit of God (One with God - The Father and I are One, as Christ declared).  Prophet Muhammad (who also had the Spirit of God come through Him) said, Listen to the Prophet; whatever He says is Me saying it.  In other words: The Father and I are One.  So, not only was Christ the First Begotten Son of God, so was Muhammad, Krishna, Buddha, etc.  That is why the same Spirit has now come back to earth as Maitreya.  So Maitreya is also Christ, a Prophet, Major Manifestation, etc.

We hope this answers your question.  If you have another question, do not hesitate to ask.  The best way to learn the teachings, however, is to read them in the website and find answers to your questions by yourself, as these and many other Truths have been revealed there.  The answers there are repeated over and over again and they are answered in a much deeper level.

  

2- Is this Maitreya for real?  I have only stumbled across his site, other than that I have never heard of him.  He is not in the news and there is nothing of any sort to show that he is real, other than what a small group has on the web.

It is great that you have eventually heard of Him.  Being small and not being in the news is a part of the Prophecy of the coming of this Revelation.  The first lifetime will be the life of the thief of the night (quiet existence with few people around Him).  This first life is the life of Revelation, the next is the life of Implementation (spreading the Mission to humanity), and the third is the Life of Execution: Three lifetimes that Hindus are expecting for the Kalki Avatar to finish His Work (Mission)!

  

3- What kind of life is Maitreya living?  Is it renunciate life or family life?

The direct answer to your question is, Maitreya lives as a family man.

There are Godly qualities in both the family life and the renunciate life.  Both can and do serve as important aspects or tools for Communities.  While they are vastly different, neither is more important than the other.

Where the importance comes in, is in each individual.  Some may come into this life without their soulmate being incarnated.  In this case, they may choose the renunciate life and be a Light unto God for all.

For those who find their soulmate and decide to live the family life, they have an important task as well.  This task is to guide their children to God and for them to become strong members in the Community.  So each of these paths is important to the Community and fulfills an important role.

It is up to each person to determine which path is correct for them.  To find that answer, it is advisable that one goes to God in meditation with that question and lets God reveal the answer to them.  May I also suggest that you read in THOTH the two essays that describe these separate paths.  The essay "Virtues of Marriage" is in Essays 1, Tablet 7, and the essay "Renunciates (Sannyasins)" is in Essays 2, Tablet 4.

This decision should not be made quickly, but if one knows himself, that will allow him to know God better, and the answer will be more easily understood and accepted.  This decision cannot be made by others.  As we can see in any walk of life, if one does not follow their Dharma, then the results are not always the best.

  

4- I just watched a speech of Maitreya's and was very moved.  One of the things He said that resonated most with me was that Christ didn't say how many times He would return.  Does Maitreya believe He is the last Prophet or does He say more will come?

That is right; Christ never said how many times He would return!  However, God does.  In The Revelation, the last book of the Bible, God talks about the Seven Angels, Seven Churches, and Seven Seals.  Angel is a symbolic term for Messenger/Prophet/Messiah.  The Seven Churches are the teachings and purpose of the religions brought by the Prophets.  The Seven Seals are the steps and parts of the Plan of God necessary to finish His Mystery (Revelation 10:7).

It is God who says the Seventh Angel will finish His Plan and no more Revelations will be brought after Him.  However, in order to actually implement the Plan over a period of time, more minor Prophets may come to continue the process, correct any misconceptions of humanity, and eventually bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE).  This means that humanity, society, and cultures will all be turned around from where they are now to accepting and following the Eternal Divine Path.

As we can see with all the turmoil, war, and division on earth now, it makes sense that more time will be necessary for this to happen.  If everyone on earth stops what they are doing and accepts God's Way, it could happen immediately.

  

5- Reincarnation is truth, and you are Adam.  Then who is Abel, and who is Cain?

Most probably Abel is the son who was incarnated as my son in many lifetimes and later on I was incarnated as his son.  He has been born as my son many times and I have been born as his many times!

Isaac was the son of Abram (Abraham), and Jacob, Isaac's son, was the reincarnation of Abram (Abraham).  In that lifetime I had a brother (Esau) who had red hair on his body.  Esau sold his Birthright to Jacob and lost the Blessing of his father (Scepter) to Jacob.  Could Esau have been the same as Cain?

In this life I also had a brother who was wild, with red hair all over his body.  Although we were very close to each other in childhood and in teen years, later on he manifested much hostility toward me.  Could he be Esau?

These things are interesting to speculate on, but only God Knows the real Truth of these things!

  

6- My heart and mind rejoiced at reading and studying the literature you mailed on The Master Plan for Planet Earth (MAP) and The Light.  As to The Light booklet, I saw myself and others who need to explore and meditate more on our role as individual souls, "In a Community of Light," (page 2) for Master can only do so much, I believe, to inspire and awaken our souls and minds.  Much still needs to be done by us on an individual basis.

I refer now to part I, page 2, line 4 of The Light and have been working on myself to help Master.  From experience, I have been enabled to recognize the workings of my "Dweller On The Threshold" personality as the lower nature of mind and as the cause of division and separation.  May I humbly recommend that Share International...

We are pleased that you see the beauty and necessity of God's Plan for humanity and are willing to speak with others about these teachings.

Unfortunately, it seems that you might be combining the teachings of another with those of God's Prophet.  What I mean by this is that MAP and The Light are from the Mission of Maitreya.  Share International is not a part of our outreach program.  Actually, we have tried to reach out to them and explain how God always sends His Prophets as humans that are in the flesh, not as entities that overshadow others.

While they (Share International) state they are working for the true Maitreya, this is not the case.  As it states in Scripture (Bible KJV, Matthew 24:5):

  

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

  

Christ also stated in Matthew 24:24:

  

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

  

So, as stated above, there will be many who proclaim things falsely.  How do we determine who is the true Maitreya, the true Christ?  Fortunately, Christ told us how to know the true Christ in the future.  It is found again in Matthew, chapter 23, verse 39:

  

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.

  

So this tells us that we will know who the true Christ is because He will come in the Name of the Lord.  Maitreya of the Mission of Maitreya does come in the Name of the Lord.  Does Share International proclaim to know the Name of the Lord?  This is not the only evidence that supports Maitreya of the Mission of Maitreya.  He has also fulfilled prophecies of His coming.  Mr. Creme and the Maitreya he represents have not fulfilled any prophecies.

God gave humanity prophecies so that we can clearly see who is of Him and who is not.  God did this because He knew that man would try and make claims for himself to be His Messenger/Christ.  However, God chooses whom He Wills.  Just as He chose David to be the King for the Hebrews, God chooses them for what is in their hearts and souls, not what is seen or thought of by humanity to be the correct way.

I hope this clarifies the issue between the Maitreya we represent and Mr. Creme's group.  We are here to answer any questions that you might have, and hope to hear from you soon and often.  If you feel confusion in regards to the differences between us and Share International, please see our website www.maitreya.org and read the prophecies that were fulfilled by the Maitreya we represent and what Maitreya has revealed to humanity from God.  Please keep in mind that this website mentioned above is not the same as what Mr. Creme and Share International teach.  For proof of this for yourself, try to order The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament from the Share International site.  Actually, this is exactly what some people did in order to prove that Share International has not opened the Seven Seals, has not revealed the Revelation that was Promised by God, etc.

Now that we know that you thought we are Share International, since you have sent us a donation, we feel that it is best for you to let us know if you would like your donation returned to you or if you wish for us to keep it.  (Note: the funds were eventually returned to him.)

As always, if you have questions, please send us an email.  

  

7- Your answer to a question about the Maitreya of Share International has concerned me for the last week:

I do not believe that Benjamin Creme is the John the Baptist who did not recognize you.  He found the Maitreya he was looking for in the 1970's, and I believe you had indeed properly identified his Maitreya as the Antichrist.  He has an NGO organization that reports to the UN.

What I will also share with you is that his religion is based upon Theosophy and the original teachings and writings of Helena Blavatsky (Isis: Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine) and Alice Bailey (The Externalization of the Hierarchy) during the late 1800s and early 1900s.  I was not able to find the exact quote, but Alice Bailey has stated in the past that all Christians and Jews must be killed for humanity to advance.  She had many anti-Christian and Jewish writings over the years.  They predicted the Maitreya of Share International, and it was these teachings that led me to the Maitreya of Share International, and eventually to you.

To me, Mr. Creme seems to be a confused man who realized the coming of the Christ, as John did.  Like John, he has his own ideas and so is not recognizing the Christ.  However, you say that Mr. Creme has already found his Maitreya.  I have not seen any evidence of this besides for the claims of light shows, handprints, a made-up story of his appearance, etc., which can easily be fabricated and/or created with photographic and video technology (special effects, etc.).  If ever I see that Mr. Creme's Maitreya is real, then I am with you and we indeed have a fight on our hands, because what he (Mr. Creme) is saying is not based on the Scriptures and so they are on the other side of the Truth.

If what you say is true and there is another Maitreya who is hidden somewhere, then I have to believe in the devil, which so far I have not believed such a thing exists.  I have always seen a battle between God (Good) and Maya (Evil), not the devil as a being.  So it is easier for me to see Mr. Creme as a misguided and lost soul than as the agent of a real being that is standing against me.  However, I have changed my mind before when I was convinced otherwise.  So if someone convinces me that this is the way, I will accept it.  I did not consider Prophecies as very strong proof, as I believed that the Teaching alone is enough evidence of Its Truth.  I accepted my position based on the Truth I received; the Prophecies came later.  I did not believe in genealogy; now I do.

Is there a real devil?  I know that God said the devil will send his agent to destroy me.  If that is referring to a real being, then let the show begin, as I know I will be victorious as it is predicted in the Scriptures and I accept that the Words of God will come True.  There is no doubt in my mind that the ethereal hierarchy (brotherhood) is fallen.  They are fallen angels.  Are they the agents of the devil?  If they are, then so be it.

If I am convinced that such is the case, then I will start the preparation for the final showdown and call upon the Elects to start their process of preparation for this finality!

  

8- Is Maitreya concerned at all with the prophecy that after 1,000 years of peace, the devil will be released one last time to torment and terrorize the world?

Why should He be concerned?  God eventually will be the Victor and that is what counts!

  

9- I've heard that Maitreya is both the best thing that will ever happen to the world, and the worst thing that will ever happen to the world.

This Revelation, from the Mission of Maitreya, is the Best thing that has happened to the world since 12,000 years ago.  Other Maitreyas, we leave them to God, and what they will do is not from God.  They are in ego trips, and that will bring suffering to them and all who follow them!

Therefore, for those who have prepared themselves for the Last Supper (End Time), Maitreya is the Best thing that has happened to the world.  For those who have not prepared themselves and are deceived, He is the....

  

  

LEARNING THE TEACHINGS

 
1- Now that I have started to read the teachings that Maitreya has brought, I am left to ponder, did He write these things down, or did a scribe do it for Him?  Is there a way to meet Maitreya?  This is very exciting material!

Maitreya wrote all this down with His own hand.  Maitreya is the only Prophet throughout history (His story) that wrote down His own teachings, published them widely (including on the Internet), supervised them, and perfected them to the Ultimate Manifestation.  This is truly a great time, in that we are not left to wonder if all was written correctly or if something else was added.

You may wish to join us in PalTalk (www.paltalk.com) to listen and learn more of what Maitreya has taught through these last 30 years.  For more information on how to join us there, you can read this page.  Also, almost any question that you may have has been answered in the teachings on the website.

As for personally meeting Maitreya, it is reserved for those who come closer to the Mission and learn these teachings.  While several have desired a meeting with Him, not all of them have desired to learn the teachings and dedicate themselves to the Mission.

  

2- I would really like to sit down and go through the webpage thoroughly so that I can fully understand the teachings of this "Prophet."  I'll read on.  I'll email you for guidance if I need any.

We have been answering many questions for more than 30 years which are all in the website.  So we have a wealth of knowledge and help available in the website.  Use the search engine provided for any questions you might have.  You might be amazed at how many of your questions are already answered.

We are here to help all sincere seekers.  We would have no problem helping you in any way we can.

  

3- Is there a heaven/paradise?

Heaven and Hell are Here and Now!  They are states of Consciousness.  If you are in your lower nature, you are already in Hell.  If you are in your Higher Self, you are in Heaven!

  

4- Is there a hell?  If yes, does that mean certain evil souls are destroyed and not reincarnated?  If no, why did Jesus spend so much time talking about hell?

At that time, and even for many at this time, the concept of a Hell as a place is much easier to understand than it being a state of Consciousness.  That is why most religions up to this point used the easier way to explain it.  Christ (Esa, his name never was Jesus) was not an exception!

  

5- Is "the bottomless pit" a spiritual jail, the actual center of the Earth, a black hole, or a fairy tale?

It is the lower nature of man and what it brings to him (attachments, desires, temptation, self-centeredness, etc.).

  

6- The souls who followed the religions prior to the opening of the Seals and who did not know the whole truth, will they reincarnate to get a chance to accept the Teaching?

Everyone will have a chance to hear the Eternal Divine Path and our Teachings at least once.  That is why when you talk about the Mission and the Eternal Divine Path, and you tell someone about it and you direct them to the website, they are Called and they are informed of this Revelation.  If they do not accept it, we are done with them and it is between them and God.

Would they be reincarnated and hear it again?  It depends upon their karma, their understanding, and their level of progress.  If there is a chance that if they are incarnated next time they might understand it deeper and join the last Revelation of God, they might be reincarnated.  But if they are so far off and fallen that there is no hope for them, probably they will not be.

After around three incarnations of Maitreya (about 200 years from the beginning of this Revelation), those who are incarnated will mostly be the ones who have already heard the Message, accepted it, and are a part of it.  So God is working in many levels for this Mission.  As we can see, humanity is lost, they are not really looking for truth, and they are not even following their Scriptures.  When someone mentions the Communities of Light, they think we are talking about communism, which has nothing to do with our teachings.  In the Communities of Light, there is private ownership of wealth, and that is not communism; communism does not have any private ownership.  Therefore, they are absolutely incorrect in saying that.  They are so adamant not to listen to anyone and they are so lost; what is God going to do with them?  If they are not going to listen and join, they are not going to come back even after a few more chances God might give to them.

The tribulation is coming; the awakening of the human is coming.  They have to realize that their power, their understanding, their wealth, their progress, and their life all come from the Source, from God.  When He withdraws His Grace, through history it has been shown that those powers, those amazing things they could do before, are not possible anymore.  They should all become humble and come to God and accept His Ways.  If they do not, they will not be born for a thousand years, and in those thousand years this system will establish itself and become the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE), and Heaven will be on earth.

So to answer your question: God might give them another chance if there is hope for them, but eventually if they do not understand it, they will be cut off for many billions of years before the next creation, when God decides to go through the same process again.  After many, many creations, hopefully everyone will go back to the Essence.

  

7a- I have been chatting about Maitreya at a 24-hour forum and have run into some questions.  Can you help me?

It wasn't really a question, but at one point I posted almost the whole Satsang, 10/5/93 (Baha'i, Fifth Seal).  The person must have read it all because he pointed out a part at the end of the Satsang that I have pasted below:

  

He [Bab] said, Everyone denounce me, but I will not denounce myself.

  

The person said it was, "made up", i.e., Maitreya made it up.  This person said that he has numerous experts who read right from the Bab's own handwriting and his experts say that Bab did not ever say to denounce him.  So my question is: Where does the quote come from?

The quote is not from the Bayan (or Bab's handwriting).  It is a historical fact that at the end when they were going to kill Him, He said that.  You can find this fact in the history about Bab.  It might not be an exact quote but it is the truth that He said this (or something very close to this).  You might even find the exact quote in the book below:

  

AUTHOR: Miller, William McElwee

TITLE: The Baha'i Faith: Its History and Teachings

PUBLISHER: South Pasadena, California, William Carey Library [1974]

  

In this book also it is clearly shown the turbulent history of the Babi/Azali/Baha'i Faith.

Bab knew His followers were going to be persecuted and killed (Revelation 6:11).  It is even scriptural that the Baha'i religion will not be perfect (Revelation 3:2).  Bab could not denounce the Truth Himself but also did not wish His followers to be killed, as He Himself was going to be.  He was telling them to just live, keep the Teaching going, and denounce Him if it was necessary.  It stands to reason that if all His followers were killed at that time, the Teaching would not have been able to spread to the West and throughout the world.

What Baha'i's have to see and realize (as all the other religions do also) is their place in God's Plan and that Baha'u'llah did change many things in order for the Faith to continue and come to the West, and also it was not perfect.  Logic stands that something which is not perfect cannot be the final Word of God.

  

7b- My second question is related to the same forum but a different person.  Someone has asked me to ask Maitreya this (I tell everyone to go to the website though):

Is the 1,000 years that Baha'u'llah mentions, "Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years...", is this the same 1,000 years as in the Bible, "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season..."?  I would think that it is.

Yes, the same 1,000 years is prophesied in The Revelation as the time when the sundered ones will not incarnate.  A temporary KOHOE will be established for the duration of 1,000 years.  Again, because Baha'i's think their religion represents the latest Major Manifestation and is Perfect, they think the 1,000 year time frame is related to Baha'u'llah.  It cannot be because He was not the Seventh Angel.  So, the 1,000 year prophecy is related to the time after the Seventh Angel when the Plan is done/finished.

Also, in the case of Baha'i's, God said the Final Revelation would come a short time after Bab and Baha'u'llah's Revelation (read the explanation of the Fifth Seal in Revelation of The Revelation in THOTH).  Therefore, there cannot be a 1,000 year period after these twin Prophets, as their followers believe.

After the 1,000 years, those souls who were prevented from being reincarnated will be allowed to reincarnate in the world again and will have another chance to progress to the goal (Pure Consciousness).  However, many of them will fall and so humanity will also fall with them for a short period of time while this happens.  Then Maitreya shall return again, and it will be the time of the final sundering.  Those refusing to follow God will be cast to the lake of fire until the next generation/creation to come (Revelation 20:15).

The Kingdom of God will be established on earth as it is in Heaven!

  

8- Dear Brothers and Sisters, I have one question: How many Paravipras are there today on the planet?  How many need to be at this stage before we enter the new earth of the new reality that is coming some day?  If there are some Paravipras in my country, I would like to meet them.

The Scriptures tell us there are at least 144,000 Elects of God here on earth at this end time.  Since we know the Seventh Seal is opened, the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals (THOTH) is revealed, and the Seventh Angel is now with us, we can fully realize the signs of the time as the last days.

The Mission has a booklet on Paravipras which goes into a much deeper level of understanding the Sixth Seal and knowing the qualities that true Paravipras/Elects will have (read Thus Speaks Maitreya On Paravipras).

For sure, Elects will not be satisfied with the world, life, cultures, religions, politics, etc., as created by man's ideas.  They will be longing/searching for something that makes sense to them.  When they find the Mission of Maitreya and learn the Eternal Divine Path they will know they have found the Truth and will be ready to step forward and use their talents to promote, teach, support, and implement it in any way they can.

The suggestion for anyone who is possibly seeing themselves as an Elect is to study the Scripture (THOTH), read and search the website, ask questions, become involved, etc.  There is also a free CD download with the Letter to Humanity, an introduction to the Mission, and an explanation given by Maitreya about the Eternal Divine Path (to request a CD, send an email to freecd@maitreya.org).

There is a person in the country you are in and you can see his information in our contacts list on our website.  However, he has been inactive so we are not sure the information is up to date.  If you are able to contact him, please let us know!  Of course, greater than meeting an Elect is to be(come) One!

  

9- Is it possible for a human being to ascend to the level of Master of the Universe?

If one does, he will no longer be in the body.  He will be One with the Master!  Even Avatars have to have some Karma (defects) in order to stay in the body!  Only Christ can fully manifest the Master, God (The Father and I are One, as Christ said)!

  

10- Does the devil exist?

No.

  

  

GOVERNMENT AND SOCIETY

 
1- What type of government does Maitreya favor: Monarchy, Representative Republic, true Democracy, National Socialism, or Communism?  (I left off Theocracy because any of these types could be theocracies.)

The governmental system is based on the Communities of Light.  The leaders will emerge from these Communities based on the Purest Form of democracy (majority choosing the leaders in small groups; read The Plan for more detail).  Only in this system will a government from the people, by the people, and for the people emerge.  No system has been created so far that represents the people completely until this one!  You can call it Theomocracy: A Pure democracy based on God's Will!

  

2- Will Maitreya attempt to work towards setting up one world government?

If the Unity of man is achieved, one government for that unified body is unavoidable.  How can the prayer, "His Kingdom come, His Will be done on earth" be Fulfilled if He is not the King of all!

  

3- Since there is one path that all religions are part of, if a world government was put together would it be run out of New York City at the United Nations, or would it be run out of Jerusalem where most religions have their roots?

It will be run from New Jerusalem!

  

4- Does Maitreya believe that a good leader should be able to rule (at any level of government) for their entire life?  Does He feel there should be mandatory and universal limits on rulers' terms?  Does He feel that if a ruler proves to be ineffective, it should be possible to take him out of rule early?

Read the section KINGDOM in THOTH for answers to all questions you have about the Godly Government.

Here are short answers to your questions above:

In each level leaders who are chosen for a few terms (three or four, depending on the level) and are never advanced to a higher level are accepted as an Elder in that level.  They no longer can be considered for a higher position and/or for any other position in the Hierarchy which emerges from the Communities of Light (unless they have unique abilities that no one else can provide).  Only this position can be held for life.  Except for the Elder levels, there are term limits for leaders on every other level in the Hierarchy.

There is also an impeachment process to eliminate leaders who are not doing their job or are not doing it well.

  

5- Where is the appropriate level of privacy in society?  One extreme has total anonymity for all people at all times - akin to anarchy.  Crimes would go unpunished, etc.  The other would have no privacy, being watched while you sleep, eat, drive, walk through the park, watch TV, etc.

Middle Path.  The prime directive in this question is: Good people and goodness should be promoted, and bad people and criminals should be discouraged, corrected, educated, punished, etc. to be(come) good.  Bedroom privacy is absolutely enforced (unless criminal activity is performed, such as pedophilic acts, torture, etc.).  Parents are chosen by God to raise their children.  Unless a parent is proven to be extremely bad for the growth of their children, their children should be left with them.  Parenthood, marriage, and great fathers and mothers should be encouraged and helped to become the norm.  Parenting is a great sacrifice which is part of a great society and the Communities of Light (the base of the Kingdom).

In general, the society should be set up to Fulfill the purpose of Life (To Become Divine, One With God).  Anything that opposes this should be discouraged and corrected.

  

6- What level of control does Maitreya feel is appropriate on people's personal choices?  Should people be allowed to travel wherever they want, whenever they want?  Should people be able to pick any doctor they choose and go in for any surgery they desire?

All things depend on time, place, and people involved.  For sure, there will be: Freedom for all of humanity to move on the planet (or off the planet, if possible) as they please (unless any limits are needed to restrict this because of things such as disease epidemics, unrest in some parts, etc.).  Education and health care should be provided free for everyone.  The best educational environment and health care should be available for all.  A system of almost full employment will be achieved by reaching into space and hiring everyone to help reach to all the stars and planets!

  

7- Should we impose a limit on the population of the earth?  If yes, what limit and how could it be enforced?

It is better to reach out to space and populate other planets than to impose restrictions and limits on population.  Of course the Bible clearly Reveals that at least 1/3 of humanity will perish in the coming Tribulation!

  

8- What is Maitreya's definition of slavery?

Forced labor with little benefit to the worker!

  

9- Why was there not a command given thousands of years ago that thou shalt not keep slaves?  Is slavery acceptable if the masters are not cruel?

Basically humans do not want to work on mundane jobs.  All throughout history those who dominate are not the ones that do the mundane but their slaves.  Also they use the slaves to build great economic bases and prosperity for themselves.

Not being cruel includes compensating fairly for the work a person does.  That no longer is called slavery, but a servant or hired person.  That we still have in all cultures!

If a person serves another person out of Love and Respect, such a person is neither a slave nor a servant.  He or she is a disciple!

There is a possibility that much of the progress of civilization or humanity needed slavery to be accomplished.  Therefore, in those situations, it might have been permissible.  It seems, however, the idea of slavery is becoming more appalling to humanity, and robots and other technological advances might easily replace slavery.

  

10a- Who does Maitreya feel is most responsible for the terrorist attacks of 9/11?  Is the truth regarding those attacks what is widely known or is it actually a conspiracy and cover-up operation that gave the United States an excuse to go to war?

The cause of all evils is ego.  Those who attacked the US have egos, and the US is run by people who have egos.  In fact all countries have this problem!  If you have ego, you do not have compassion.  If each party had Compassion and tried to understand one another there would not have been a war or any wars (or terror) on earth!

  

10b- If it is a conspiracy, should the perpetrators be held accountable, and in what way would that be done?

If there is a conspiracy, what is the base of it?  Such matters should be investigated, and if proven there was a conspiracy, then the perpetrators surely have to be corrected and made an example of.  If this is true then not only has an unjust war been waged, but the leaders also lied to their people.  Such leaders should be corrected in the harshest way possible (the leaders are the head: "When the head is sick, the body is sick").  Leaders should represent the people!

  

10c- If it was an attack as described by the media, should the perpetrators be held accountable, and in what way would that be done?

Both sides should be listened to and the grievances from both sides should be addressed until an agreement is reached in which neither party would create an environment where such things would happen again.  If one party is found to be guiltier than the other, an appropriate action should be taken to correct the injustice and the crime!  From then on any grievances should be looked at immediately, the guilty party acknowledged, and the situation corrected.

  

11- Should officers of the peace and the military have access to guns?  Should there be a military at all?

The warrior class is a part of human society.  We will need police forces and security forces for some time into the future.  It is the decision of the leaders of society under any circumstance to see if it is needed to have such organizations or not.  These are details which should be decided according to time, place, and people involved.  The ideal would be to have a society with no crime and all responsible and good citizenry.  However, the ideal and what is, are not always the same!

  

12- Should the public have access to guns?

In the case of responsible citizens the answer is: Yes.  However, the original idea of gun ownership (so that people can create militias and oppose a corrupt government) is no longer valid.  Governments have bombs, fighter jets, drones, etc.  Should people also have these?  Only then could they oppose a corrupt government with a similar and comparable force.  So these days guns are for recreation and/or self-defense against the intruders to our homes and/or properties.  The idea has changed, and having guns for these purposes should be allowed.  If someone misuses this privilege they should be corrected and, if necessary, their guns should be taken away from them.  If you choose not to have guns, that is ok too!

Now, how do we correct the corrupt governments at the present time?  The answer is to create God's System, which corrects itself if there is any corruption!

  

13- Should WMDs [weapons of mass destruction] be kept by the government as a deterrent?

If there is Peace and Unity why would we need them?  If we do not bring the Peace and Unity that God has predicted to come to humanity, then there will be proliferation of weapons of mass destruction on earth.  Right now as we speak, many countries desire to obtain such weapons as a deterrent.  If they succeed, other countries will do the same.  The more people have such weapons, the greater the possibility that someone will use them.  One use might be enough to end the human race (from radioactive fallout, retaliation against the first user, etc.)!

  

14- Is war ever acceptable?

There is a time for peace and there is...  Even the Bhagavad-Gita is about God and a just War!

  

  

MARRIAGE AND SEXUALITY

 
1- What is the true origin of marriage?  Should marriage be exclusively between one man and one woman?  Is polygamy acceptable (please explain as different cultures have had different views throughout history)?  Is homosexual marriage acceptable (please explain this one too, as it is nearly exclusively taught that it is unacceptable by all religious leaders)?

We have to follow God's Will in all situations.  In general, sex is a part of marriage.  Sex in its most basic explanation is a delivery system to create children.  The sexual orientation of people should not become a political issue.  The bedroom (private lives of people) should be that, private.  In general, however, humanity should encourage what is Godly and is based on the Dharma (Innate Nature) of things.

God clearly stated in the Bible that a man and a woman will create the base of the family (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5-6, Mark 10:8).  However, we can see in the Bible that most Prophets married more than one wife.  How could they be Prophets of God if they seemingly broke this law!  What they did must have been allowed by God and their actions accepted by Him (God) that they still stayed His Prophets!  God is not a rigid God.  According to circumstances (time, place and people) He is willing to bend the rules if it will serve His Purpose and Will.

At the time of Abram (Abraham), for example, the number of Hebrews was small.  The greater the number of wives each man could have, the greater the number of Hebrews there would have been.  So polygamy was permitted.  God also set the way it could have been performed.  It was Sarai (Sarah) who brought Hagar to Abram (Abraham) and permitted him to take Hagar as his concubine (second wife)!  Therefore, the permission of the first wife is needed for this to happen. 

Alternatively, the couple could draw up a prenuptial agreement and decide about this matter before marriage.  They might agree that there will not be any other wives, or they might agree that there might be.

Of course, as we said, all Laws of God depend on circumstances.  So situations might arise where any and/or all of these rules could be relaxed.  The most important Rule is: What is the Will of God in any situation!

We can consider polygamy to be acceptable in situations such as: If the wife is frigid; if the wife uses sex as leverage to dominate the man (usually such a woman becomes more reasonable if there is even the possibility of another woman's presence.  This might help the man concentrate on higher things than sexual problems!); if the wife suggests that she would like the helping hand of another woman and their companionship; if there is economic hardship for women who might not be able to provide for themselves and would not mind being in a polygamous relationship; etc.

Recently it has been in the news that many women in Russia are petitioning their government to legalize polygamy because they cannot survive by themselves alone!

However, humans do misuse the Words of the Prophets and God.  This explanation should not become a license for abuse and misuse.  That is why society has to be aware of what is needed, be flexible according to that situation, and impose God's Will and Laws in any situation (for example, when David ate the shewbread which he was forbidden to eat, Matthew 12:4, Mark 2:26, Luke 6:4).

Again the importance of the concept of Leaders who are connected to Spirit (Paravipras) becomes clearer.  They can see what the Will of God is and implement His Will instead of intellectual understandings and their rigid concepts!

The circumstances of the couple should also be considered.  Indeed it is mostly up to them!  If the first wife sees the presence of another woman as necessary and all parties agree with the decision, it is not anyone's business to interfere with their situation (unless the decision is not based on free will and is imposed on any member in the party).

Again, as the Bible clearly says, one man and one woman should be the norm (in normal circumstances).  However, there are situations where this can (should) be relaxed and polygamy is acceptable (not more than four permanent wives).  It should be rare.  In any case it should be up to the people involved.  In general, the husband should support the wives and be equally fair to all of them!

It was asked: Is not sex without being married similar to polygamy? The answer is: Sex without being married, God called adultery and fornication.  That, He said you should not do.  Polygamy, He never said you should not do.  They are not the same.  However, He also made it clear that polygamy should not be done in haste!

Some people say that in a woman's later years, after menopause, she is not as interested in sex while the man still is.  So the man should be allowed to have more wives and more children.  One alternative is for the man to go more towards God in the old age and overcome sensual longings, so as to be prepared to leave the body and go to God.  Even in this case, however, it is up to the people involved.

Before this writing, the Revelation was that there cannot be polygamists in a Community of Light.  However, after further consideration, it was Revealed that it would be best to leave this decision to each Community.  There could be Communities that will decide to be solely monogamous.  There could be Communities that might not.

Polygamy should not become a political issue, and no human law should ever be passed to oppose or endorse it!

In any case, having a dedicated, chaste, Godly woman as a wife is priceless.  If the husband of such a woman hurts her by marrying another woman, he has committed a Great Sin!  Sarah herself decided that Abram (Abraham) should have another wife.  Mohammed never married another woman while Khadijah was alive.  So both Abram (Abraham) and Mohammed respected their first wives greatly!

  

2- Where does Maitreya stand on abortion?

Abortion is a decision by the couple (although they might consult with those whom they trust and/or the Elders).  Sex should be performed within the bonds of marriage.  Both people in this act agreed and consented to the act and so both have an equal say in the matter.  Since at the time of marriage they became as one flesh, it is a decision that should be made as one flesh.  If they did not want to become pregnant, that decision should also have been made as one flesh!  Of course if the life of the mother is in danger, the abortion is no longer a decision to be made.  It is made for them.

If there is a dispute in this decision between them (to abort a child or not) and no reconciliation can be reached to accommodate the situation, then they are not one flesh.  They most probably should divorce (they are not one flesh). 

If it is the mother who does not want the child, then she should have the child and the father should raise the child, as he wants the child.  He should be able to support the child financially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  The father cannot have the child if other issues are present (he is a pedophile, drug addict, not Godly, etc.). 

If it is the father who does not want the child, then the mother should have the child and she should raise the child.  She should be able to support the child financially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  The mother cannot have the child if other issues are present (she has mental problems, is a drug addict, not Godly, etc.). 

No matter how wonderful a single parent might be, the presence of both the father and the mother is extremely important to the development of the child.  So the decision to have a child should be discussed and agreed upon before the child is conceived!  However, if the child has already been conceived, most probably both should agree to accept the child and raise him.

If pregnancy has happened outside of the bonds of marriage, then it is a fornication (or adultery) and is against God's Commandments.  The couple should keep the child.  Raising the child will be the payment for their sin.  The couple should marry so that the child becomes legitimate.  In the case of adultery, the decision is up to all involved parties.  However, the child has to become as legitimate as possible and be supported.  If the adulteress is the wife, the husband has every right to divorce her with no responsibility towards her.  If the adulterer is the husband, the wife has the same rights.

The Laws of God should be accepted, encouraged, and promoted in the society.  If the people do not follow His Laws, they will lose His Grace and His Face will be against them!

 

3a- A few people have asked me about an important subject in life today, and there is no text in THOTH about it: Sexuality, how often, the use of it, control of it, etc?

Before anything, know that sexual energy is the very creative force in the universe.  The more you master it, the greater your creative mind will be.

It is an incredibly vast topic.  We have touched on the most important parts of it in THOTH.  The explanation of it has been interwoven in many places in THOTH.  Although it might not be too apparent to the eye, a part of family life and society, as explained in THOTH, is based on this energy.  It is raja guna in the procreative state in the material world.

Now, you have asked some direct questions about sex.  It seems you want a definite answer for them in a black and white manner.

This universe is not created in a black and white manner.  There are guidelines to use everything, not from ignorance or passion, but from knowledge.  In order to understand these guidelines, we have to first understand the nature of the subject before we can recognize why these guidelines are necessary.

As I explained above, sexual energy is raja guna in the procreative state in the material world.  The most important words in this sentence are, "material world."  If you look at the sexual place in the body, it is placed over the second chakra.  The first three chakras are the lower nature of man.

The first chakra is where tama guna dominates.  It is related to solid factor.  It is where solid waste is disposed of.  The second chakra is dominated by raja guna or energy.  It is related to liquid factor (liquid waste).  The third chakra is dominated by satva guna.  It is related to heat and fire (the digestion of food needs heat).  These three forces in these states are all directed to the external world.  They are the human's lower nature.  The stimulation of these lower energies, especially if used in a way that is not based on God's Laws, will create confusion and suffering.

With all of this said, however, there is nothing bad in this universe.  How it is used makes it good or evil!  Anything in this universe can be used from ignorance, passion, or knowledge.  This is true even for the lower nature and/or sexual energies!

You do not kill a wild horse.  You tame it.  Then you have a powerful friend to assist you in many ways.

The use of sexual energy, therefore, like anything else, can be from ignorance, passion, or knowledge.  The use of it from ignorance and/or passion will bring suffering and confusion.

Sexual energy used from knowledge can be channeled in two ways.  First, it can be used in a family environment to create stronger bonds between the couple and to create children.  Families are the blocks that a society is built on.  The stronger the families are, the stronger the society will be.

If a person is not attracted to family life, then the sexual energy can be channeled to higher chakras and used as higher creative forces.  Such people can greatly serve the universal family.  These are the ones who become renunciates (sannyasins).

Therefore, control of the sexual energy and mastering it is recommended for everyone, married or not.  Now how to control it?  It can be controlled with a more vegetarian diet, meditation, taking cool baths or using the half-bath procedure, using the recommended dances Tandava for men and Tandavi for women, prayer (asking for God's Grace to transform this energy to the higher ones, to the Grace), and being one-pointed to do His Will.

One of the techniques used to control sexual energies in men is the use of the longota (langota, lungota, etc.).  It is a scientific fact that heat decreases the production of sperm in men.  That is why when the weather is hot, the testicles lower to bring the testes away from the heat of the body, so they can maintain their required temperature.  This is reversed when the weather is cold.  The longota keeps the testes always close to the body heat.  This decreases the production of sperm.  It also prevents unwanted erection of the sexual organ.  These both lower the undesirable sexual energies and bring greater control of them to the person.

The longota does not destroy sexual energy, but channels the excess energy to higher chakras.  It is a simple loincloth that keeps the sexual organ of men close to their bodies.  It is recommended for both married and unmarried people.

The act of lovemaking and sexual intercourse is much deeper than a physical closeness.  In any relationship and closeness, an etheric bond is involved.  In the sexual relationship, this etheric bond is the strongest.  It is the closest ethereal merging in the physical world.  This is the reason a couple becomes close and attached to one another.  This closeness has to be cherished, nurtured, and used for greater bonds in the family environment.  That is what God had intended!

Therefore, we can see how sexual energies and the relationships between men and women have a much deeper effect and reason than having an erection and being released from it.  Of course, I am sure, many do not agree with me.  Even if they agree in their minds and hearts, when they are put in a stimulating situation all this reasoning will be thrown out the window.  However, those who want to be strong and above it all will understand these truths and will not be deterred even in the most stimulating situations.

This does not mean that by reading these writings or even following the recommended procedures, the sexual problems of the world will go away overnight.  However, those who understand and try to master these energies will have their eye on a time when they will be in control.  These are the ones who will succeed.

Sexual energies are powerful, as are other tendencies in different chakras.  However, the more of these tendencies are transformed to higher levels, the freer you will be unto God.  God is in All levels!

  

3b- There is nothing written specifically on sexuality in THOTH or elsewhere in the Mission, or am I wrong?

Probably the reason is that there is not a specific answer to this (or many) question(s).  As I said, what I explained above (and throughout THOTH) are guidelines.  It is you who has to draw conclusions from them, according to your situation!

It does not matter how much I explain.  Unless you understand and are willing to comply, you will not benefit much.  The reason is that if you do not believe that what I say is true and best for you, then you will do what you want to do.  Even if you do believe, you have to have the resolve to follow through.  Adam and Eve were told what was good for them.  Did they listen?

 

3c- Anyway, I would like to have a written opinion of Maitreya on this delicate subject.  I know there are a few references to it in other subjects (indirectly), but precisely please.

You have answered your question yourself.  It is, like a lot of others, a topic that cannot be looked upon precisely.  Just look at its effect and variety in human existence.  Precise answers might not work in all situations, and might indeed create suffering for many.

Precise answers also can later on become dogmas.  Then whoever will not or cannot follow such dogmas will suffer.  Is not the reason for dogmas that the Prophet or the Forerunner gives a precise recommendation for a specific situation, and then later on this becomes a dogma?

This is true even about human laws.  They were created for specific situations and were for that time.  That is why many of them are not working today.  The law has become more important than justice.  The dogma has become more important than the truth!

I can give you precise answers.  Probably many will feel much better about it.  There will be laws and regulations to follow.  They will not have to think and realize anything.  But I will also create a lot of suffering for those people and for others in the future.

Probably this is one reason that the Mission might not appeal to some people.  We are asking man to understand the guidelines given in THOTH and come to the right conclusions.  However, they want only the conclusions.  They ask me to give the ultimate answer, to be precise.  The problem is there is no precise answer.  That is why we preach the Communities of Light and give the guideline, Eternal Divine Path, to create them.

Furthermore, precise answers will become rigid and unyielding.  This will create suffering and ignorance.

  

3d- How about: Celibacy vs. sexuality; relations before marriage, during marriage, without marriage, and after marriage (if one of the two dies); frequency; control; sexuality in the future community; minimum and maximum age; female and male homosexuality (causes, state, utility, suggestions, etc.); sacred aspect; education; the difference between sensuality, love, tenderness and sexuality (also procreation); etc?

Although some of the questions above can be answered precisely, the others will be answered in general form.  Let's take them one by one:

a- Celibacy vs. sexuality: If you are inclined toward celibacy and are able to maintain it, then you can accomplish great things.  However, if you force yourself to it but your mind is full of sexual desires, probably you will not benefit much from it.

Sexuality or satisfaction of it is best done in a family environment, based on God, between a man and a woman.  It can further strengthen the family bonds.  This will create a great environment to nurture strong, loving, and balanced beings.  These children will be satisfied physically (someone is there to take care of them), mentally (will be taught and educated), emotionally (will be loved), and spiritually (the marriage and family has been based on God).

b- Relations before marriage [all throughout our writings, marriage, permanent or temporary, is between a male and a female]: The ideal is no relationships before marriage.  This is the most recommended.  That is why God created virginity in women (I know most people do not agree with this statement, but God does).

To make this course possible, in many religions it is recommended for men and women to marry at an early age.  Probably women can be mature enough for marriage between the ages of 14 and 16, and men between the ages of 16 and 18.

Because men and women are very young in these ages, the advice of the parents and especially a true spiritual teacher is recommended, as well as the support of the community.  The reason is that the youngsters might make mistakes in this regard.  Parents, the spiritual teacher, and/or the wise people in the communities are supposed to guide them to choose what is best for their physical, mental, and especially spiritual progress.  The community will also be greatly helpful in maintaining balance in their lives.  This is even more important in the Communities of Light, where the wise Elders can help couples as well.

However, at present, this beautiful idea is being misused by greedy or ignorant parents and unspiritual teachers.  It has become a right for parents and teachers instead of a privilege in many cultures.  However, loving and enlightened parents, teachers, and elders (wise people) can save a great deal of trouble for a couple in their marriage.

c- During marriage: In most relationships, the man and woman try to become one with each other.  This is a great mistake.  However, if each bases his or her life on God and becomes One with Him, then their spirits are One with Him and the same.  They become One with Him, so they will be One.  There is a great truth in the saying, "A family that prays together stays together."

Therefore, the sexual relationship will become a joy and another way to be unified in spirit with God, who is the true Enjoyer anyway!

In such a sexual relationship based on commitment to the family and God, there is no ego involved.  The family is based on God's Laws and Love.  God makes Love with God.  In both it is God who is the center, not "I".  Where there is no ego there is unity, joy, prosperity..., and no suffering!

d- Without marriage: The people who are not married can be categorized into two groups: Those who are celibate and those who are seeking sexual experiences in this stage.  The ones who are celibate are preferable to the other ones.

Those who are seeking sexual experiences in this stage have no choice but to enter relationships with little or no commitment.  Sex without family commitment will eventually result in suffering physically (sexual disease), mentally (too much thought and mind energy goes to it), emotionally (loss of the partner to others), spiritually (spirit will become confused), and socially (society will become weak).

If two unmarried people decide to stay together temporarily, it is required for them to state the length of time they want to be together.  This is known as a temporary marriage arrangement.  Even in this case, be it only for one day, a couple should treat their relationship as a marriage (remember, sex without commitment will create suffering and confusion).  They should invoke the Name of the Lord in this relationship and base it on Spirit (God).  This kind of marriage is not recommended for virgins (however, it is acceptable if they are older than 25). 

Those who want to be in a temporary marriage should try to make this kind of marriage permanent.  At the time of the termination of a temporary marriage, the woman should refrain from another marriage or engaging in any sexual intercourse for four months and ten days.  This will make certain who is the father, if there has been a conception.  If this rule is not followed, a genetic test should be done to determine the father of the child.

After a temporary marriage expires, if the couple still wants to stay together, they can decide to marry permanently.

e- After marriage (if one of the two dies): This question is more difficult to answer.  Here a family has already been formed.  There are more things to consider than just the marriage of a single person.  There may be children present.  There are memories involved with the dead person.  In this situation a person probably has to consider marriage as a more remote possibility than when he was single.

However, if people in this situation can justify the action, create another family based on God, not harm the children in the process, and have a strong desire to do so, they can remarry.  The opinion of a true spiritual teacher in this regard is recommended.

f- Frequency: Depends upon time, place, and people involved.  The guideline is: Anything from ignorance or passion will create suffering.  Also the goal is to transfer the lower energies to higher ones.

g- Control: With a balanced diet, meditation, prayer, God's Grace, etc., the sexual energy can be transformed into Higher energy.  Then this desire will be directed towards greater creative purposes.  This is the goal.

The use of cool water (half-bath), wearing the longota, and exercises which transform lower energies to higher ones are recommended.  For those who have great difficulty with sexual energies, the exercises Tandava for men and Tandavi for women are very helpful!  The Tandavi will also help women in strengthening their pelvic floor muscles after childbirth.

h- Sexuality in the future community: A relationship from knowledge is based on marriage and God.  Such pure couples will provide an environment to create children for His Kingdom and will create strong families as building blocks for the society and the Kingdom.  These ideal couples will form the base for the Communities of Light.

As people will meditate, want to follow the Eternal Divine Path, and create Communities of Light, their energies and intentions will be directed toward God, not toward this external world.  Such people can then truly follow what Esa taught in the "Sermon on the Mount."  They will realize the importance of families based on God.  This is the ideal we hope to manifest in the Communities of Light.

i- Minimum and maximum age: Minimum age for women is between 14 to 16, depending upon the maturity of their physical, mental, and emotional bodies.  For men it is between 16 to 18.  There is no maximum age.  Men and women can marry any time.  Some might marry simply because they can accomplish more together.

j- Female and male homosexuality (causes, state, utility, suggestions, etc.): Homosexuality basically is a chakra (hormonal) problem.  It is from energies locked in lower psychic centers.  This can occur in two ways.  First are the cases of those who are born with this problem.  Second are those who reach this state because of the society.

When society loses its moral values and the basic family structure is no longer supported, men and women lose their way.  The basic family values are, usually, broken when a society becomes prosperous.  The notion of "in God we trust" changes to "in ourselves we trust."  Therefore, to follow one's selfish ways becomes more important than what God intended (His Will).

To create a family and follow its values requires some sacrifice.  If it is based on God, since the attention is on God, sacrifices are easy and the family will prosper.  Also, if the couple is poor and has no choice but to stay together, and accepts the sacrifices necessary, in this case also the family will succeed.

However, if we neither do things according to Spirit (God) nor have any need (economically) to stay in a family environment, then we do not have to sacrifice for it.  It is then that like-minded men and women feel more attracted to one another and homosexuality becomes an epidemic.

Usually it is in this stage, when the societies have fallen this far, that they slip toward destruction.  We can see examples of this trend in all ancient societies in which the family structure was destroyed.  If any society falls into the same situation, their destruction is imminent.  It makes no difference how powerful and prosperous they may appear.  They will be destroyed from within.

To cure this problem, we have to heal the society.  This can be done by formation of the Communities of Light based on the family structure (a couple as a man and a woman).  This healing is greater than the healing of the blind, sick, or raising the physically dead.  This is our Mission, To Heal the Earth!

In general, meditation, prayer, a balanced diet, cooling of the body (half-bath), Tandava or Tandavi exercises, etc., and of course, His Grace, will transfer the energy trapped in the lower chakras to higher ones.  This is the goal of all spiritual endeavors: To transform lower tendencies to higher ones.

Besides, a form of genetic studies known as epigenetics has revealed that there are parts of genes that are responsible for our tendencies and genetic inheritances.  It has also been discovered that these parts of genes can be turned on or off.  With this knowledge, even those who are born with homosexual desires can be changed by turning off the genes which are responsible for such tendencies!

k- Sacred aspect: As it was said, lovemaking is mostly an ethereal function.  When it is viewed in a more fleshly manner, it loses its higher purpose.  In the high ethereal level (Spirit), All things are sacred and follow the Universal Laws.  In this state, the relationship is based on God, not on flesh.  Such a relationship is as strong as or even stronger than anything in the manifested world.

Such couples are bound together forever.  The act of physical lovemaking becomes less and less important.  They make Love all the time, because they know that the very Creation is an act of Love and lovemaking.  They are in a constant Dance of Love.  Indeed such a relationship is most sacred.

l- Education: It is important for men and women to be educated to be with true women and men.  It is imperative that they learn the Ways of God and act accordingly.  They should realize the higher reason(s) for marriage and sexual relationships.  They should base their lives on God and His Will (Purpose).

With meditation, good diet, the examples of Elders, etc., men and women will look at each others' Souls and spirits rather than each others' flesh.  Then they will not lust after each other but love one another and choose their partners for great commitment.

The sexual relationship indeed can be used for transforming lower energies to higher ones.  In this process couples will meditate with one another (Tantra) rather than only achieving the ultimate goal of physical lovemaking (orgasm).

Therefore, couples will gain greater control over their lust and eventually over their desires, and will Love one another for what they are (their spirit and Soul) rather than with earthly love.  This is another lesson that married couples should learn.

m- Difference between sensuality, love, tenderness, and sexuality: Love (with a capital "L") is greater than tenderness.  Tenderness is greater than love (with a small "l," or earthly love).  Sensuality and sexuality are fleshly desires (if they are not within the bounds of a Godly marriage).  They are manifestations of trapped and untransformed energies.

Any of these, however, can be from ignorance, passion or knowledge.  There is nothing good or evil in this universe.  They become good or evil according to their use in a given situation (time, place, and people involved).

n- Also procreation, etc.: As it is explained above, the sexual relationship has a multitude of aspects to it.  Procreation is one of them.  Children born to spiritually (Godly) based families are the base of the Communities of Light and the Kingdom!

  

3e- These [questions above] are human questions for when we are incarnated in the physical body, and are important in Occidental and North American values and attitudes today.

For God there is no East, West, South, or North.  His Laws are equally applicable all throughout the earth and the universe.

The problems with relationships in general and the sexual relationship in particular are the same all throughout the earth.  Probably these problems, like many others, are more openly discussed in the West today.  However, these are old problems that have occupied the minds of many all throughout human history and beyond.

There is no easy way out.  The only way out of it is, "To Love your God with all your Heart, Mind, and Spirit."  Only with His Grace, and with transforming your energy and directing your attention from the physical world to Him and the spiritual world, can you escape the suffering(s) of this external world.

Let no man fool you.  Any other way(s) will not work for long.  If you are looking for a quick answer or wanting me to tell you what you (or anyone else) wants to hear, you are asking the wrong person.  Those whom God chooses to bring a Message (or Truth) to humanity are not here to please men (humans) but to tell the truth.

You say, "These are human questions for when we are incarnated in the physical body."  There is nothing out of God.  There are no purely human solutions for human problems.  There are only Godly solutions.  This is what all Prophets and Messengers have brought to humanity.  Of course, humans and their lower natures distort the truth to fit their lower energies.  It is not God (Spirit) who brings suffering(s) on man but man (flesh) himself.

  

3f- How about divorce?  Is it allowed in the Mission?

If couples are One Flesh, are One in God, there is no room for divorce!

However, this is the ideal, and idealism and reality do not always match.  This is even more true in the time period between now and the formation of the Communities of Light.  Once our system, which is based on the Communities of Light, is established, there will be a great support structure to keep couples together.  Couples will be discouraged from this act, which is most destructive to themselves and society.

For imperfect situations, and for situations when even the Communities of Light agree that a couple should divorce, the guidelines below will be greatly helpful:
  

    Possible acceptable reasons for divorce:

1. One spouse has an addiction s/he cannot conquer that is causing significant harm to the family.

2. Adultery by either spouse.

3. Sexual perversion: Homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, etc.

4. Mental illness which is greatly disturbing to the family.

5. Impotency, infertility, frigidity, or withholding sex.

6. Any type of abuse (physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual).

7. Criminal activity.

8. Immoral acts (acts which are not necessarily illegal, but are harmful to the community and the society).

9. Un-Godliness: Not following Godly Ways (especially in the Communities of Light), turning away from God.

10. Permanent or long-term loss of consciousness (vegetative state).  This includes long-term comas (if the partner is contemplating divorce in this situation, probably it is a good idea to wait around 6 months before making a final decision).

11. Financial irresponsibility by either partner.

12. Any deep and unresolvable issues that make the couple not to be one flesh.

13. Venereal diseases.

14. Abandonment: One partner leaves the other permanently (dying suddenly, being killed in war, etc. can be categorized as abandonment.  These categories would be for purely legal purposes so the spouse could continue with their life, if they chose to divorce from the missing partner).

  

    Considerations:

a. A reasonable period of time should be designated for the couple to live separately and try to resolve their differences before the final decision is made.

b. It is up to the couple to proceed with divorce or not!  If they decide to divorce, it should be done with the greatest compassion and maturity possible.

  

    How to make a marriage successful:

1. Focus on God (the most important consideration): If this is achieved by the couple, any marriage will last forever.  It is falling into the lower nature that leads to disagreements, resentment, separation, etc.  Marriage based on God is so High that the mundane will not bring it down to lower levels.  It is only in the lower levels (in the lower nature) that most people divorce.

2. Focus on Spiritual teacher: If focusing on the Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal (FINE or God) is difficult for the couple, they should focus on the Spiritual teacher.  By focusing on the Spiritual teacher, again the couple will be Blessed as they have another focus outside of themselves to be concerned for.  However, the Ultimate Goal is to be Connected to God (FINE).

3. Focus on the betterment of the Community: The couple should focus on becoming productive and helpful members of the Communities of Light.  The family and the Community will become more important than their small problems.

4. Focus on helping their parents: Again the couple becomes more interested in their family than themselves.

5. Sacrifice for the partner and his/her needs: One more step to dissolving the ego and becoming egoless is to become other-centered, rather than self-centered.  Of course, this should be mutual, not that one party sacrifices everything and the other just takes!

6. Communication: The spouses have to learn how to communicate in a mature way, be respectful to one another, be patient, honest, and accepting, and have integrity in their relationship and communications.

7. Commitment: Marriage without commitment is fornication.  There has to be a great commitment by the couple to make the marriage an environment where God and His Will Manifests to the Highest.

8. Stop any unproductive arguments, etc.: Instead of arguments there should be discussions and a sense of unity based on God.  The couple should be a team to do His Will.  They are partners to Manifest God.  They should both be Committed to God!

9. Marriage should be based on the Will of God: Any other reasons are not good (God) enough.

10. Consulting Elders in the Communities of Light: The couple might consult with the Elders (or with anyone they might consider helpful).  Any advice they receive should be based on what is God's Will for the situation.  The final decision should still be made by the couple, and they will bear the consequences of their decision!

  

3g- What are the limitations on whom one can marry?

Since sex (uncovering one's nakedness) is a part of marriage, when the Bible talks about uncovering the nakedness of someone, not only does it mean you should not see their nakedness, but also you should not marry them!  Who you cannot marry is clearly revealed in the following verses from Leviticus chapter 18 (comments by Maitreya are in brackets and bolded):
   

6 - None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.

7 - The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness [father and mother].

8 - The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness [step-mother or father's other wives].

9 - The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover [sister, step-sister, or half-sister].

10 - The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness [grandchildren].

11 - The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness [step-sister or half-sister].

12 - Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman [aunt from father's side].

13 - Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman [aunt from mother's side].

14 - Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt [uncles and their wives].

15 - Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness [daughter-in-law].

16 - Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness [sister-in-law].

17 - Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness [after marrying the mother, cannot marry her daughters or her grandchildren, and vice versa].

18 - Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time [cannot marry sisters at the same time].

19 - Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness [during menstrual/monthly cycle].

20 - Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her [neighbors' and friends' wives].

21 - ..., neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord [do not defile the Name of God].

King James Version

 
There are limitations on whom you can marry (uncover their nakedness) and whom you cannot, which are observed in almost all cultures.  What God has permitted for humans is called Halal in Islam, and what is not permitted is called Haram!

According to these verses, those who are Haram (not permitted) to marry are: Your mother, step-mother, or, if your father is a polygamist, the other wives he has; your sisters, step-sisters, half-sisters, grandchildren, aunts, uncles and their wives, daughters-in-law or sisters-in-law; marrying sisters at the same time; marrying a mother and her daughters or grandchildren, even after separation; neighbors' and friends' wives.  We can also add to this list your children and adopted children, their children, and whoever has not reached the age of puberty.  Furthermore, as explained above, you cannot have any sexual relationships with a woman during her monthly period, even if she is Halal (permitted).

Anyone who is not mentioned in this list is Halal for you to marry.

Someone asked: If this is true, then why did Jacob (Israel) marry sisters (Rachel and Leah), and later Bilhah and Zilpah, all daughters of Laban?  We might also consider: It is forbidden to lay with one's daughters, however Lot's daughters arranged for this to happen!

The answer to these questions was clearly given by Christ when He asked: Was it lawful for David to eat the shewbread, when it was forbidden for him to do so?  Christ made the point very clear that: All these rules are for humans to use so they live according to the Will of God.  However, in extreme situations, God is very flexible.  So all things are dependent on the time, place, and people involved.

God told Jacob he would have twelve sons.  Neither his father nor his grandfather had twelve sons (not even close).  He wanted Rachel, but he was tricked into marrying Leah, her older sister.  So he worked hard and eventually married Rachel as well.  Later he might have realized, and most probably God had permitted it, that he needed more women to have twelve sons, so he also married Bilhah and Zilpah.  So the law was bent to fit the time, place, and his situation!

It is the same in the case of Lot.  There were no men to marry his daughters so they could have children.  If they did not have children with him, it would have been the end of his seed.  So again it was permitted and the rule was bent to accommodate the situation.

In fact that is the whole idea and reason for the elaborate explanation of this section (marriage and sexuality).  The whole idea is to create flexible situations according to the time, place, and people involved.  Man and his laws should never compromise the flexibility of God's Laws in extreme situations.  That is why governmental and political maneuvering should not be allowed to create laws which are not according to God's Will.  You cannot regulate the flexible Laws of God.  Many nations have tried and at the end failed.  Even in the case of polygamy, still western societies have not succeeded in stopping it.  Although they pretend to abhor this practice, many have mistresses and sexual scandals abound!

However, this does not mean that we can now bend God's rules all the time (or according to our own desires) and say I am breaking the Law because God wants me to.  Remember, not everyone is connected to God as close as His Prophets and His People are.  They know what is God's Will and so do not create any karma.  If one breaks His Laws from passion or ignorance, it will create great karma for the person (the misuser).  So be careful to follow His Will from Knowledge.

  

3f- In conclusion, can you in brief explain about sexual relationships?

CONCLUSION: Sex is a very delicate topic (like many others) which cannot be answered in a black and white manner.  It is not just a physical function, as many would like to believe.  It has physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and many other levels of impact on the couple and society.

The guidelines, as a Light, are given all throughout THOTH.  These answers to these specific questions are only guidelines, and, we hope, will further help in understanding this topic.  However, if you do not want to see it as a spiritual function, probably even these answers will not help you much.

In fact, if the answers to your questions are not found within, the answers from without have very little significance.  Of course, the answers from without, when coming from the Spirit (God), hopefully, will quicken the Spirit in you (within).

In general we can consider the physical sexual relationship as a physical function of the second chakra, which is a part of the lower nature.  Therefore, to use this function in a purely fleshly sense (from passion or ignorance) will stimulate the lower self and will create confusion and suffering(s).

However, like everything else, if it is approached from the higher self (from the Spirit of God's point of view), this very earthly function becomes holy.  It becomes a blessing physically (there is a lot of healing power in sexual energy), mentally (creating a great feeling of security for the family and community), emotionally (satisfying emotional needs such as closeness, companionship, etc.), and spiritually (great ethereal bonds, etc.).

The goal is to transform these lower energies to higher ones, to make them into Blessing(s): To transform lust to Love!  This can only be done by following God's Laws.  In achieving this goal we will have greater Love for the whole universe, including our partner.  The sexual relationship will then become a small part of this overall Love.  Now, in these last days of the old era, the sexual relationship should once more, like everything else, be based on God's Will and so become a Blessing again.

In order to transform lust to Love, married couples may adopt Tantric techniques.  In this case, they will gain control over their sexual longings, preserve their energies, and learn how to control their desires for the ultimate goal of the physical sexual relationship (orgasm).  However, this is not recommended for young couples or for those who want to have children!  Also, it should not be practiced to the point where it prevents any chance of pregnancy on a mass scale in society, unless it is decided and is deemed necessary to limit the number of children born (for couples and/or society as a whole).

Of course, as it is repeated in THOTH over and over again, all things depend on the time, place, and people involved (situation).  According to the situation, the course of action one takes can be from ignorance (will bring suffering to the self and/or others), passion (will create confusion), or knowledge (will bring Blessings to All).

There are no black and white answers to most questions in the universe.  The formation of the Communities of Light based on pure married couples (a man and a woman) with pure children, following the Eternal Divine Path, will eventually bring the above truths to All.  Those who are out of the Communities of Light and/or are not able to join because their understanding has not reached a higher level, will stay where they are.  They will have to go through their sufferings and confusions until they see that only the Ways of God are clear.  "Narrow is the way ... and few there be that find it" (Matthew 7:14).

This of course does not mean we have no compassion for them.  Indeed, as the Communities of Light evolve, those who have not joined us will also be helped in the process.  This can happen in a greater degree if they listen to the guidelines we have given them here and all throughout our teachings.  Eventually many will see more clearly that the way of God is full of Light and Peace.  They will choose His Ways.

I tried very hard to avoid answering these questions and topics.  They are too complicated and are based on individuals and specific situations.  However, it seems many want some answers (or at least guidelines) for these questions.  I tried to give you the guidelines for them, and I hope they will bring Blessings to you all, and not suffering.

There are Absolute Laws of God (such as marriage between a man and a woman) and there are relative laws (personal will and choices, such as marrying a specific person, etc.).  In the case of Absolute Laws, there is no compromise.  In the case of relative laws, the person and the circumstances have to be considered.  The decisions have to lead to the best result.  What is given here are guidelines to achieve such results.

Again, if the marriage is based on God and the couple is One in God, they are One Flesh forever!

  

  

MISCELLANEOUS

 
1- I was listening to a Satsang today in one of the rooms and you were talking about the progress of the universe.  There was something mentioned about supernovas and how supernovas were formed, and the system was tied into the progress of the universe.  I was wondering if you could clarify that a little bit.

In the beginning of creation, God created the gas and dust, the first light elements.  In order to create the heavy elements, He had to gather them together and create huge suns which became neutron (warped) stars.  These neutron stars were at such great pressure that, for example, the whole earth would be compressed to only one cubic inch.  When a neutron star reaches its maximum pressure, the heavy elements (such as metals) are created.  The neutron star then explodes and becomes a supernova, and this new material is spewed out and creates new suns and planets, etc.  Thus heavy metals are available to be used in the creation.

Then planets which can support life are created for the civilizations, humans, and beings that can progress to know God.  When this happens, it accelerates the progress of unit consciousnesses toward becoming Pure Consciousness or going back to God.

The whole universe has been created to guide the lost Souls back to Pure Consciousness.  In fact, many parts of the universe are not lost.  They are actually the Body of God that has been used to accelerate the process.  The cosmic dust, Big Bang, supernovas, black holes, etc. are at work for this purpose.  Black holes, for example, are where the materials of the universe are reprocessed back to their basic elements, so they can come together and create more of an environment where unit consciousnesses can progress.  Therefore, the whole universe is created for the lost consciousnesses to become Divine and follow the Eternal Divine Path.  In that Essence, anything that happens in the universe is progressive.

  

2- Will humanity ever achieve space flight the level of Star Trek, or will our technology be perpetually lost and relearned whenever we get close to inter-planetary travel?

Unity and full employment can only be achieved (or accelerated) by reaching to space.  How far we can go, only God Knows!

  

3- Is there intelligent life on other planets?  If yes, can a Soul from that planet be reincarnated into someone born on this planet?

The possibility of beings living on other planets is more likely (statistically, based on the number of galaxies, stars, etc.) than not. 

The answer to the second part of your question is: Such an occurrence is, probably, rare.  However, all things are possible with God.

  

4- What happened to the planet Mars, and was there life on it before it happened?  Are the "face" and "pyramid" on Mars optical illusions or are they really remains of a civilization?

Was there a civilization on Mars?  One thing is for sure, there are signs that show advanced civilizations existed on earth before 12,000 years ago: The pyramids, the pictures on earth in South America which only can be realized as what they are from the air, etc.  Could these be signs that some life forms migrated from Mars to earth?  These things will be Revealed when humanity becomes One in God.  Science will investigate, and God will Reveal the truth to them!

Apparently the picture from Mars that shows the so-called Pyramid is the shadow of a hill.  Eventually man will be able to see it closely and the Truth of it will be revealed.

  

5- Did humans ever coexist with the prehistoric dinosaurs, or are the komodo dragons and alligators/crocodiles the closest we've ever come to them?

We still are living with them.  They evolved into birds!

  

6- Where does Maitreya stand on euthanasia?

If by euthanasia you mean: A person is suffering and in order to escape the suffering kills himself or hires someone to kill him, then euthanasia is an act of suicide.  God said: Thou shall not kill (premeditated murder).  That includes self!  If a person does this, his circumstances in his next life might be even worse!

If, however, by euthanasia you mean disconnecting a person from life support who has no consciousness of his existence (being in a vegetative state or something similar), then that is acceptable.  The decision should be made by the person's loved ones.  However, if they wish to keep him alive, they must be willing to pay for the expenses to support him (and there must be no will stating otherwise).

Of course, the best way to die is naturally, with minimum medical assistance!

  

7- Are the law of attraction, law of deliberate creation, and law of allowing, actual universal laws?  A lot of New Agers seem to have their own universal laws.

That has been the problem of "my will or God's Will," and when you say "I am God and I can create my own laws," then it is your will and not God's Will.  That is why God sends the Prophets, Revelations, and Scriptures to man to show what His Will is.

So man has a choice; he always has a choice.  Because of this, he chooses not to follow the Universal Laws but instead his desires and wants, and therefore he replaces God's Laws with his own.  The biggest problem with New Agers is that each of them thinks they are God and therefore they do not follow the Scriptures.  They say they are gods as if no one else is.  The truth is, everyone has the Essence of God in them.

In order to become Avatars or Perfect Masters, they should follow God's Laws.  When they have their own laws, how many laws are there in this universe?  Who created the universe?  There are only the Laws created by God.  Not everyone can come up with their own laws.  God created the universe, and He put down the nature of everything in it, and therefore man has to follow that nature.  If he does not, then he will bear the consequences.

Actually, in a sense, man can create his own laws, and on the physical level they might work for a while.  However, since their laws are against God's Laws, they will eventually bring suffering to themselves and others.  It is like having siddhis (spiritual powers) and misusing them.  It will backfire, and you and others will suffer.

As it has been said many times, you cannot break the Laws of the universe.  Anytime you try, you break yourself against them.  That is what New Agers should realize, that although they have the Essence of God in them, they have to submit themselves to the Will of the Creator who has created this universe and knows what works and what does not.  When they do that, then they will realize that the Eternal Divine Path is the Way, and the Way of the Daharma or nature of things is the Laws of God.

  

8- How do the Ba'al and Moloch religions fit into the Divine Path?  How does atheism or devil worship fit into the Path?

The mystery religions and those religions that are man-made do not fall into the Eternal Divine Path.  They are different from the Mystical Paths which teach, Know Thyself to Know God.  They are fallen religions which most probably were started by the wife of Nimrod (Semiramus).  She claimed she represented The Holy Mother, and her son The Miracle Child (Immaculate Conception).  From these claims many religions formed including the might of Isis, etc.  Baal and other similar religions are also man-made.  God surely has Revealed His True Religions in THOTH!

  

9- How do cults such as the Heaven's Gate cult, who committed mass suicide with the belief that there was a UFO behind a comet, fit into the Divine Path?

They don't.  The leaders of such cults have not fulfilled the Prophecies.  They have not opened the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals.  They are not the Lion of the Tribe of Juda, etc.

A cult is a group of people who believe in a leader who puts himself up as their focus (an ego trip).  They do not follow the Scriptures but the words of the leader when the leader does not teach God but things that are not from God.  They end up escaping the world.  They eventually become frustrated and suicidal as did Heaven's Gate and Jim Jones, etc.

  

10- Is the Zodiac relevant or just superstition?

There is some truth in it but it is not a perfect science to rely on completely.  If you wanted to see the full effect of the stars, you would have to consider every star in the whole universe, and finally what God has Revealed in His Scriptures (as He has the Final Word)!

  

11- Two years ago, I had a vision.  It was of a nine-pointed star.  Each point had its own symbols inside...

I did not know what the symbols meant...

When I found Maitreya's website and saw "The Greatest Sign" and the Seven Seals, it kind of blew my mind, because they are seven of the nine symbols that I saw in my vision.

I guess my question is this: Do you know what the other two symbols might stand for?

Yes, the last two are: Level Eight, the State of the First Begotten Son of God, and Level Nine, the State of the Father/Mother (God).

  

12- Is the number 13 really unlucky, and if so, is it because that was the date Jesus was crucified?

It is the number of God when dealing with a group of people.  Twelve disciples and Christ was thirteen!  Those who do not respect the Thirteen will have bad luck!

  

13- I am so keen to know about the meditation.  Please could you tell me...?  How can I talk to you...?  Answer me please soon.

The new Meditation Process given by Maitreya of the Mission of Maitreya uses the HOSH Universal Mantra.  This Mantra helps a person to calm the mind in order to close the eyes and go within to a deeper place.  It is the Introductory Mantra with the Mission, and is also the second Highest and most powerful Mantra for humanity to use as a tool (the Highest and Most Powerful Mantra is The Word, which is also known as The Holy Name, The Holy Word, etc.).

Have you learned about Meditation from the Mission website or perhaps another place in the Internet?  There are many videos in YouTube containing the HOSH Meditation, for example some of the videos in this page.

HOSH stands for: Haree Om Shrii Hung = The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine.  ONK stands for: Om Nam Kevalam = That Divinity, God, is Everything.  On our website at www.maitreya.org, you can learn the Meditation Process by reading the explanation (search for "Universal Mantra Meditation"), then also by taking the 7-step class in Microsoft Powerpoint, and by studying the 10/08/1989 Satsang given by Maitreya about Meditation.

If you would like to follow along with downloadable files from the Mission FTP site, there are audio files of Meditation Classes which you can listen to, download, etc. for your own use and for sharing with others.  You can access the FTP site from the Mission website (click on "Downloads" on the top menu).

In addition, the Mission uses a program called PalTalk (available free of charge at www.paltalk.com), and we broadcast Meditation Classes there 24 hours a day.  Other Mission rooms are also available for discussion and hearing Maitreya's previous Satsangs to learn even more about the Mission's Teachings.

After your research, if you have any specific questions, please send them to the Mission.  We hope you enjoy these resources and learn more about HOSH Meditation and the Mission Teachings.

  

  

God Is Calling You
(The Last Call)
March 2, 2007

As Prophet Noah warned people in his time of the forthcoming flood, and Prophet Jonah warned the people of Nineveh of the coming disaster to their city, this is a warning from the Prophet of God (Maitreya) to humanity of the imminent disasters predicted to come at the end time! 

At the time of Noah, people did not listen to the warning of the Prophet, and they bore the consequence of their decision.  At the time of Jonah, people listened to the warning, and the disaster which was predicted to come to them was stopped!

This is the way of God.  He surely gives humanity plenty of warning and opportunity to avert the disasters coming to them, which is the result of their own doing (going against the Laws of the universe).  God again is sending this letter to you (humanity) as the warning for our time.  It is written to the leaders, those who can make a difference, or anyone who is interested to heed and help to divert the events predicted to come.  We hope, as the people at the time of Jonah listened to the Prophet, this time humanity will also heed this Call and so we will avert the prophesied disasters at this end time.  The choice is yours! 

These periods of disasters are to purify humanity and guide them to the path to God.  These periods of purifications are even more intense at the time of the manifestation of the Major Prophets.  These Major Prophets are prophesied to come, and they come with clear signs as the Chosen Prophet.  They are the founders of the major religions on earth.  In the past these Prophets have sent warnings to humanity and invited them to return to God.  Prophet Muhammad and Bahaullah sent letters to leaders of the world to make them aware of a new Prophet from God on earth.  This letter is also to inform you that God has sent a new Prophet and Revelation to man, a Revelation that He has Promised (Prophesied) would come at the end time!

For the last 12,000 years, God has been sending the Prophets and Major Manifestations to humanity with a definite Plan, a Plan that has been hidden from everyone, even from the Great Prophets like Prophet Daniel (Daniel 12:9).  What will happen in the final days has been predicted to be terrible and dreadful.  This letter is to inform you that we are in that Final Stage (end time).  There is a definite Logic behind human history.  Indeed History (His Story) has been guided to this point, and now is the time for humanity to know what it is.  The Mystery has now been revealed!

The very base of this final Revelation reveals that each major religion on earth has a specific message.  Only when these separated messages are realized and put together will the path to God and the Kingdom on earth be revealed.  This path is called the "Eternal Divine Path."  So, not only are the major religions on earth not contradictory, but in fact they are complementary.  The Miracle of this Revelation is this amazing message of unification of God's Revelations!

This is the Last Revelation to man, so this Call is the Last Call of God to humanity!  This Last Call is for all to come together and be Unified under His Banner of Truth and Unity: That, indeed, there is only One God and all religions have come from Him.  There is no separation between religions, and there is only One God for the whole of humanity.  Understanding how each of the world's religions have come in perfect order, and how each have an important part (Message) for mankind, is now revealed to man.

All these are done so man knows that there is a purpose for this creation and the way to fulfill this purpose is the Eternal Divine Path.  By following the Eternal Divine Path, the Communities Of Light can be created, and the Communities Of Light are the base for the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.

This is a Call to you to come and join me (Maitreya) as the messenger of God with a new understanding of God's Work.  God has Prophesied and Promised many things all throughout history, and He has Fulfilled them, as explained in this Revelation.  He also prophesied the coming of this Revelation at the end time, which will clear all confusion and reveals the Mystery of God, as His Last Revelation:

Revelation 10:7

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Bible, KJV

Indeed this is the Seventh Angel calling you.  Recognize this and join me, or resist it and the consequences of resistance will be what God predicted to come at the end time.  If man will not answer this Call, as they did not listen to Noah, there is no escape, and the destiny of man has already been set!

God also has revealed:

Revelation 5:5

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Bible, KJV

Indeed this is the Revealer of the Seven Seals who is calling you, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, Maitreya, who is also a Sayyed (from the lineage of Prophet Muhammad).  You might not believe these claims at this time, but read the Revelation and the Credentials God has provided, and you shall believe.

It has been predicted that after the opening of the Seven Seals, which is this Revelation, there will be a period of silence or pause (a chance for humanity to respond to this Call), and then comes the day that Babylon The Great (egoistical ways) will fall.  The groundwork for this to happen is set, and we are going toward that day fast.  It is after this great fall that the coming of the Kingdom is predicted and will be accelerated.  So we are in-between the time that this Revelation was foretold to come and the fall of Babylon The Great.  As the people of Nineveh averted the disasters from happening to them, we also can stop this prediction if we see these Truths and come together.

Those who will not heed this Call have no right to blame God for what is coming to them, as predicted in the Scriptures.  He indeed has sent a Prophet with Clear Signs and Revelation, a Book full of Truth and Guidance, the Light that will bring Peace on earth.  With this letter the Final Call to all the influential people and all humanity is given, and they are asked to turn around and Face God (Be Baptized).

The Call to all leaders: It is the duty and responsibility of all leaders on earth that they take advantage of this last chance to respond to This Call and guide their own people as God wanted them to.  They must act now, help create Communities Of Light across their nation, and create a proper environment for all, so they (people) can, in turn, answer this last Call from God.  As a leader it is the Responsibility God is asking from you: To Create the KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH.

Our Work is not to bring war and destruction but Peace.  It is man who will bring these destructions upon themselves.  This warning is not a threat from us.  If you believe in God, He has already prophesied in all Major Religions that these events will happen.  If you read our teachings, you will see that God has promised many things in the past and He has fulfilled them.  He also promised this shall come true, and so it shall!

It is humanity who will bring these destructions to themselves.  We are here to Educate, Guide, and Warn.  So do not be afraid of this letter as a threat to anyone but as a warning of the events that will shake humanity to their core and make them realize that God has prophesied these things will come true and what we have revealed is the Truth.  Then man might, eventually, know that there is a God, and He is indeed in charge and is guiding the universe toward its goal.

This universe was created for a definite purpose, and God will Guide it to its Final Destiny.  He is the One who will bring this awareness to man.  If this Call is not answered, we will wait patiently until humanity sees these Truths.  Then all who will remain will come together, and God's Will, will be done on earth as It Is In Heaven!
