(no longer true!): Come and be with Maitreya (GIWH) on the first Saturday o each month. We will be reading and discussing the Teachings in half-hour increments. As we study together, there may be questions with deeper clarification from Maitreya especially while He is still with us. Now is the time to receive those answers and clarifications! Only the questions and answers will be posted in the FTP for download.

If you would like to be added to the list of volunteer readers, please send your name to: Readers@maitreya.org

We will rotate readers each month who select any topic from the website for study.

THERE IS A NEWLY PUBLISHED ESSAY TO SUPPLEMENTS IN THOTH!

Subconscious Mind, Revisited

Excerpt: “The Goal is to return back to God. The problem is the subconscious mind. You are supposed to eliminate it. However, if you do that you will not be able to stay in the Essence (God) since you will be spued out back to the external world to help others! Then you have to start all over, etc.!

What is the answer to this riddle, puzzle, and this question? How then can we go back?”

A New Inspirational Poem has been published: Pure Consciousness

QUOTE OF THE MONTH - 2/2/8 Further Clarifications

“It is not the physical ability. It is not financial ability. It is spiritual and mental strength that will bring the Kingdom of God on earth.” Maitreya

THOTH GLOSSARY WORD OF THE MONTH

Actualized Person: a person who knows the Self and is aware of what he can and cannot do. He is content with what he is without relying on others' approval or disapproval. Letter A in THOTH Glossary

M.O.M. MEMBERS PALPALK ROOM

The M.O.M. Members Room in Paltalk, Religious Groups/Interfaith Section was held on Friday, February 15^th. We had some great discussions about the new Essay and the subconscious mind (You can listen to the audio of these discussions, if you like). We did not want to leave!

NOTE: The room is no longer a locked room and all may enter. Passwords are not necessary. We will monitor guests by keeping the reddots on as someone enters the room unless we know them or we invite them. After everyone has arrived by 7:10 and there are 10 or less attending, we can continue to Super IM and close the regular room so not to be disturbed. If more than 10, we will stay in the room and monitor guests as mentioned above.

PROJECT FULFILLMENT

Ongoing! If anyone discovers an end time expectation or prophecy for the coming of any religion’s Messiah/Christ/Mahdi/He Whom God Shall Make Manifest/Kalki Avatar/Buddha (or any of the names the different religions use), please send to: Fulfillment@maitreya.org We will investigate to see if the expectation has already been met by Maitreya or if it is a new expectation supported by Scriptures which we can add to the Mission website.

PROJECT NEW JERUSALEM

Sal-Om,

It seems more and more it is becoming difficult to work out there in the external world. The working conditions of people are becoming intolerable. The solution is the COLs. You all have to come together and start businesses that are based on Mission principals. With honest work, good quality products, and reasonable prices we can become known as people who make the best products, are honest and reasonable. Our work environment also will be based on Mission principles and will be a great place to work.

One of our members was explaining to us how he has some family members living with his family. He was impressed how everyone participated and pitched in to help one another, how there was no tension between them and how people tried to make life easier for everyone. Their situation is like the ideal for a COL and escaping the increasingly hard place (or external world) to be a part of coming together! Of course as we all know it will become worse!

By no means am I suggesting that we should become escapist or shun the world. Not at all. Indeed I am suggesting creating a better world and setting an example for the lost world to follow!

PROJECT SECOND LIFE

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dzalarhons/116/135/112 Mission Land (Awesome! Check it out!)

The Mission presence in Second Life has continued to grow in the past month. There are now over 21,000 sq meters of land that supports the Temple, Satsang Hall, Community Hall, e-commerce, and a representation of the Community foundation (the housing for 6 couples living close together). There is still some finishing work that needs to be done on the houses, but the main structures are up.

In the future, we will have a basic tutorial for how to accomplish things while you are in Second Life. This will cover the basics of how to fly, change your avatar appearance, and move around in the virtual world.

CONTACT REPORTS

(All Contact Persons for the Mission of Maitreya are encouraged to send a report of activities, outreach, etc. in your area. These reports are helpful to inspire others on how to create interest in other areas of the world!)

From Turkey:

The most interesting news this month was the Mission making the headlines in a local newspaper here. They had a huge Greatest Sign on the front cover. It was not friendly news though; they were mostly bashing The Mission. It did not create much trouble for us even though we lost some yoga students after the news in the paper. However, others with higher thoughts and a searcher attitude started to come in. So, God works in some mysterious ways.

The Turkish site for the center is revised this month. Now it’s more direct and right to the point. So it should be more helpful to people here. Also, the translation of THOTH to Turkish has continued. There are more people interested in reading THOTH so the translation will continue.

An account in Facebook has been started so that we can reach out to more people. The Teachings of Eternal Divine Path, videos and photos can be shared in this program too. The origin intention of FaceBook not too Godly, but we can use this tool in a Godly manner. We'll see how that goes.

God IS... The Guiding Light

Thanks God for Everything.
