Great job, Brad! (we know, you will say, All thanks go to God…)
It was wonderful to see the Message going out to more people of different
backgrounds (there were Moslems, Christians, Baha’is, etc), and it encouraged
many to come to our room in PalTalk and also to investigate the website. We are receiving more invitations to explain the teaching,
and we welcome every opportunity to do this.
May
each person on earth hear about The Greatest Sign and the Eternal
Divine Path at least once!

RELATIONSHIPS
(From THOTH, Essays 2, Tablet Two)
<1>There are four beings which each person should consider as the most important people in his life. <2>They are God, spiritual teacher, parents and spouse.
<3>In a person’s relationship with these beings, God is at the top of the hierarchy. Then comes the spiritual teacher who leads a person to God. Next are the parents who are an instrument used to allow him to receive a body so that he could come to this world and advance in his spiritual journey. Eventually is the spouse, who is his twin flame and helper in his physical, mental and spiritual progress.
<4>So if any being in this hierarchy becomes an obstacle for a person to attend to his obligations to the one higher up, that being should be disregarded.
<5>If a spiritual teacher does not help a person truly know God, he is not a true teacher and should be disregarded. If parents become an obstacle in one’s spiritual progress and an obstacle between him and his true spiritual guide, although they should not be disrespected, the person should follow his spiritual teacher rather than them.
<6>Also if a spouse would make the person disrespectful to his parents or spiritual teacher, that spouse should be corrected or disregarded. <7>However, when a man and woman marry, if it is possible, it is better for them to start their independence by separating themselves from their parents and, with all respect to the parents, start their own course of life and only listen to their parents if their advice is sound and will guide them closer to God.
<8>After these four beings, the relationships of a person can be expanded to their children and others in the external world.
<9>Children are the guests of the parents and are beings entrusted to them by God to be helped to progress physically, mentally and spiritually. Parents are the channels through which children are born. <10>Also they are the co-creators of them, so parents should create a godly love toward them, as God has love toward man.
<11>However, they should always be aware that the children are not theirs and should let them be free when the time comes. Parents should never possess their children nor make them their slaves by their excess love and emotional webs. <12>Of course children have great responsibility toward their parents to assist them when it is needed and to give them the highest respect.
<13>In regard to the relationship with others, if a person is living in a Community of Light and is one of the 12 people as the base for selecting the leaders (read Zion and Mount Zion), then his community would be regarded as the second family. <14>Then the person has a great responsibility, first to become an example for others and a leader, and secondly, to be observant to choose truly the best person as the leader or the judge of the twelve.
<15>It is in this community in which a person learns to live with others and also learns to become a leader. A leader who has not gone through this test of being able to live with others and emerge as a Chosen One, cannot be trusted as a true leader.
<16>If a person does not live in such a community, he should still help the cause of creation and progress physically, mentally and spiritually and help others in this endeavor also. <17>If he is married and has a family, then the rest of the universe is his second family, and he should treat them as such.
<18>Also in choosing friends, the person should associate with those who would help him in his progress toward the goal of his life – to be(come) Divine. He should disregard those who would lead him away from this and his responsibilities toward the first four beings described in the beginning (God, spiritual teacher, parents, and spouse).
<19>In regard to work associates and the job environment, a vocation that one respects, enjoys, and is proficient in doing should be chosen. He should be(come) one with it and do it perfectly, and that should be all the requirement necessary in any job.
<20>The associates at work can be accepted as friends if it is possible to be helpful in each other’s progress or to create a more spiritual environment there. However, they should not become a channel for satisfaction of unspiritual, unsatisfied psychological or emotional needs. These all would be from the false ego and the relationships would be based on one ego supporting the other. Such relationships would be shallow and are based on false needs which eventually will end in deep dissatisfaction for both partners. <21>The ego does not have love and compassion and indeed is hungry for these, so two people who do not have these things try to receive them from each other. Then they will both be disappointed when they realize that the other person cannot provide what they long for, because he does not have it either.
<22>However, they take the attention the other person gives to them as Love, or as a true relationship. But in truth that attention is a trick to receive the attention of the other person. This kind of relationship is indeed a business. The translation is, “I give you attention, you give me attention.” The base is on ego, not Love, respect and progress.
<23>So become best in what you do and base your life on God and the establishment of His Kingdom. Any relationship which becomes an obstacle to this ideal should be disregarded and is from false needs and false ego.

*************************
John Hall's Testimony
The
Prophet Daniel was told to seal up the meaning of his visions until,
"
. . . the time of the end"
(Daniel 12:4). St. John the Revelator in a similar
manner was ordered by God to,
"Seal up the things which the Seven
Thunders uttered and do not write them"
(Rev. 10: 4). Yet, John
was promised that,
" . . . in the days of the sounding of the Seventh
Angel, the mystery of God would be finished"
(Ibid
10:7). We find in scripture only one figure who is,
"
. . . worthy to take the book, and open the seals thereof"
(Ibid
5:9), this figure is the First Begotten Son of God, and revealer of God's
mystery. It is not mere chance that Maitreya Reveals the
meaning of the visions of both the Prophet Daniel and St. John (Commentaries
on Daniel, Revelation of The Revelation), and in
accordance with the fulfillment of prophecy, reveals to humanity the
meaning of each of the Seven Seals, represented in The Greatest Sign.
It
is this same Maitreya who is believed by all Faiths to arrive in
this generation and to live in this time. "For
I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter
day upon the earth" (Job 19:25).
The Hindus call Maitreya, "Kalki," and await His
birth sometime after 1943. The Buddhists seek the Maitreya to
arrive from the west, and to begin His Mission after the expiration of
Buddha's around 1973. The Jews prepare for the appearance of the
Prince of Peace who is to be sent to lead governments to peace, sometime after
the creation of the state of Israel, which was 1958. Christians
desperately await the return of Christ, who by His own accord promised to
return to them when the Gospel Message reached the entire world, and by
all accounts the Gospel penetrated all parts of the world by the year
1977. Muslims await the coming of Mahdi who will help restore
dignity to an Islamic society divided by secular and protagonist
governments, the likes of which we are witnessing in this late hour.
Bahai's await the arrival of the Seventh Angel, who is to be
Manifested sometime before the date of 2001 and bring with Him the entire
Message of God. Even the
children of New Age know Maitreya as "World Teacher," and
have awaited His arrival at the promptings of a Mr. Benjamin Creme.
Notwithstanding the hopes of an entire planet, the promised
Manifestation of God is here, and this is my testimony for Him:
I
am John, a servant of God, and I bear witness in regards to the Light of
Maitreya,
a Light given to us through His teachings, and the Revelation of which He
has been the chosen bearer.
Maitreya
is the Revelator of God's Entire Plan for humanity.
Maitreya is the Teacher of The Eternal Divine Path,
a Path which leads all toward Salvation. Maitreya is the
Example for all to follow so that in Him we may see the One True God. It
is by this accord, knowing the truth, and witnessing it at all times that
I testify on behalf of God, and His Servant, the first Servant to all
men.
I
found the Maitreya, because Maitreya had first revealed
Himself to all Flesh at once, and announced His Great Mission and
Irresistible Cause in 1982. Through the efforts of the first fruits
of the faithful I was able to locate the Mission's website and weigh its
message by the standards that God has given all men, both scriptural and
intellectual. Giving myself over to the Spirit and asking God
for confirmation in Faith, I was granted spiritual understanding and
immediately began to see the prophecies that had so boldly heralded
this Day and Hour.
After the
promptings of another, I personally delved deep into the
teachings of Maitreya. I read God's Message for
this Day THOTH (The Holiest of The Holies,
The Last Testament), and began to meditate on the Universal Mantra
as instructed by Maitreya. Through this message I
was able to locate my progress on the spiritual path, understand the
pitfalls that I was facing, and how in all cases overcome them and
subsequently continue moving toward union with God.
So
by all possible confirmation I became a disciple and as time passes
continue to learn more and more about the love of God manifested to us
through His Plan. God's Plan Revealed through Maitreya,
given to all men, and to all men therein the hope of salvation, a
salvation granted by the Grace of God to awaken the sleeper.
"And
do this, knowing the hour, for now it is high time to awake out of sleep,
for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed"
(Romans
13:11).
Thanks Shakti, for sharing Yin and Yang!
