Listen

Maitreya: Sal-OM everyone. I pay my salutations to the Divinity within all of you. Welcome to the Mission Of Maitreyas Satsang room.

God has been sending the Revelation to humanity for the last 12,000 years and each Revelation came to man. Each people received it and accepted it as the Revelation from God. We now have many religions in the world and there is a lot of separation, destruction, and disunity that has been created between humanity.

Many people have tried to unify humanity together by many ways of explaining that religions are basically the same, or the revelations are progressive, or unity in diversity, many ways that have been tried until this Revelation came to humanity.

This Revelation is absolutely different than anything else that humanity has seen. This one completely shows a Plan that God has had from 12,000 years ago.

Of course, He knew about it in eternity. But 12,000 years ago, eventually the decision was made to close the third eyes of the humans, create history, and reveal the Seven Seals in seven great religions of the world. Now God has revealed these Seven Seals together and Reveals how each of these religions has one specific message for humanity and when you put them all together you see the whole picture.

So not only does it unify humanity, not only does it show the Path of salvation, it also is the most unique Revelation that has been sent to humanity. Now we have presented to everyone to come, see, and realize that this is completely a different way of unifying. And this is the only Revelation actually prophesied, or the only way prophesied, that will unify humanity. Any other ways are good ideas, they are made by people who had good intentions, but this is the only one God said will unify humanity.

Of course, in His Scriptures it explains that when the Seven Seals are opened and this Revelation comes, that is the end time, that is the time to gather the wheat and separate the chaff. Of course, for a thousand years this will be the norm and then the Kingdom will come. After that there is going to be a fall again for a short period of time, and that is when the Kingdom comes forever.

So we can see that Scriptures are matched completely with what we claim and we have revealed to humanity. And now is the time to call the Elects, or those who have seen the Vision that this Mission has brought to them, and who realize that this is truly from God and truly for humanity to ponder on and eventually decide, Yes, it makes sense. It is prophesied. It is in Scripture.

If you want to be on the winning side of God, this is the only way to be with. Otherwise, anything else is not completely from God and completely from His Revelation and from His Scriptures.

Therefore, we can see that it is the duty of every human to look at our teaching, to realize what has come to them, and then decide for sure that they have to accept this, become a part of the Eternal Divine Path and the creation of the Communities of Light, and bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.

So now we have been giving this Message to humanity for the last twenty-two years. The time seems to be ripe more and more that we become more engaged in the practical part of the Mission, which is to bring the Elects together, create the facilitating body, reach to humanity in every way possible, give this Message to all the corners of the earth, and call those who have been called for it and are ready to come, join, and drop everything of the individual concern for Godly concern because the individual concern is going to be what that man said to Christ, that he has to go to his father. Christ said, Let the dead bury the dead.

Therefore, in order to become completely united by God and see His Revelation and Truth we have to realize that individual concerns are not that important any more, but the Godly concerns are. Answering the call to this Mission is the most important part of our lives.

I set an example for everyone. I dropped everything of my individual concern for this Mission. Therefore, you have to look at my example and say, OK, if he did it, therefore, probably, we should also do it.

So the Revelation has been given, and the Path has been explained many times.

This Mission and those who have been chosen have already been called and chosen by God. As we see in our covenant, you see the Vision, you have no choice, you understand the Revelation is from God, you come, you join, you take the Mission as your own Mission, and you run with it.

So our concern is not the number. Of course, the number is the hand of God. The more people who will join us and come and help, the more this Mission will expand and reach out in a greater degree.

But as we have seen in our teaching, God said He would do things, and He did them. He promised that there were going to be two Prophets, one from Isaac and another from Ishmael. He did it. He also promised that His Kingdom will come.

Therefore, we are not worried about the numbers because He said His Kingdom will come and it will come after the Seven Seals, and it will. The only thing left for us is to become more efficient, more perfect, work on ourselves, see how we best can serve God, be with Him, and eventually be a part of His Plan.

Therefore, you can see that all of you have been called. All of you in this room right now, most of you are already in Covenant with me. The Revelation was to me recently that when you make a Covenant with the Mission, it cannot be broken. It absolutely cannot be broken.

So be very sure that when you make a Covenant with the Mission you know that Gods Covenant is forever. You are bound for it not only for this lifetime but lifetimes to come.

I do not mind at all. I will make that Covenant a hundred thousand times because there is nothing more worthy than being with God and knowing His Mind and His Revelation. If all of us feel like that then we have a unified, united group in this Mission together, and we can work very closely and deeply to see that this Mission is manifested.

Now I will open the room. If you have any questions, you can go ahead and ask.

Go ahead, Shoshana.

Shoshana: Yes sir, thank you. You mention coming into Covenant with the Mission of Maitreya. What exactly does that Covenant involve? Thank you.

Maitreya: There is an Essay, or there is a writing in THOTH, that was recently added to the Supplements. It is even on the website. Someone can put up the URL for Shoshana. If you go to the THOTH section of the website, then go to Supplements, there should be an Essay called, Covenant With God, or the Mission of Maitreya (Maitreya).

When you reach the point that you see the Vision, that you realize this is from God, this is the highest spiritual realization that came to humanity, that the Seven Seals are open, and you have no choice but to be in this Mission and work with God, then you will send me an e-mail and you express that. You make a Covenant with me and you become a part of the Mission.

So the explanation is there. If anyone could find that in the website for Shoshana, post the URL. If you cannot, just go to THOTH, go to the Supplements in THOTH, and there is a part called, Covenant With God, or the Mission of Maitreya (Maitreya)." Click on that. It is all there. You can read what is involved:

covenant_with_God.htm]

We had a question by e-mail. But the person who asked the question is not here and that is why it is not going to be read.

Someone has a question here.

Audience: I would like to understand a little bit more about history as being something that we learn from. We say, His Story, but to me it seems like history is really a human story. When you look back at history it is all division, separation, and fighting. It does not really sound like Gods story. It does not really sound like it is something that God wanted. Or, He did want us to be separated for a while, and now is the time to come to unification again?

Also, why is there no history prior to 6,000 years ago? Why did history start at 6,000 years ago?

Maitreya: There was no history before 6,000 years ago, mostly because the human did not know how to write. That is why it came mostly from stories, songs, or father to son, the previous generation to the next generation, through storytelling, through telling from what had happened before, etc., and it continued. Even the American Indians still follow that tradition of storytelling, and they put many of their beliefs in song, in singing and dancing form.

From 6,000 years ago, of course, the writing became more prevalent. The human started writing them down.

Now, why it seems it is a human history, not His Story, is because it is just like that story about the Indian music. In Indian music the foreground is very loud. But if you listen very carefully to Indian music, there is a constant sound that is there. But you usually cannot hear it.

Unless you really meditate on it and be aware of the Spirit behind everything that happened in history, then you see the Hand of God in history and it is really His Story. So you have to be very deep and meditative, and also know THOTH and our teachings and see how the era of the Shudras, Ksattriyas, Vipras, and Vaeshyas, which are the workers, warriors, intellectuals, and businessmen came to be.

When you see that, that God has been guiding humanity all through these periods, then you can start seeing His Hand in what events happened to this point. Also, it seems like they are really disconnected and human-made decisions, but truly you can see really the human was just an instrument for His Will to be done.

For example, before the flood of Noah, in a very short period of time after that, was the Shudran or worker period. The first thing we hear, the first king is Nimrod, who thought he was God himself. He reached a point that he wanted to go to heaven and kill, if there was any other god existing up there. Of course, that became the power of Babylon, and man fell again in that time.

So we can see that after the worker period, which really the worker period does not have any history, it is just a very low level of satisfying the human's physiological and safety needs.

But the second period, after the Shudran or the worker period, was the Ksattriyan or warrior period, which we can see right there in the Bible it talks about Nimrod who was the king. He was a warrior. And it continues that way until the time of the Nebuchadnezzar.

It was at the time of Nebuchadnezzar that God gave him the dream of the statue with the head of gold, the chest of silver, the cooper, the iron, and the iron and clay mixed. So in that time then, Daniel tells him that this is the history. That dream is the history.

"The head is gold, which is you, King Nebuchadnezzar. But after you," the Ksattriyan, or warrior period is going to decline and mostly it is going to be intellectualized, which the next period was the Persian Empire, which was more intellectualized than Nebuchadnezzar. Then was the Grecian Empire that came and conquered almost the whole world. The Greek mythology and philosophy spread even in a greater degree even to the East.

After that were the Romans, which was the first time the idea of the democracy of the intellectualization of the Senate and all of those things came. Which is good, they were good ideas, but still they were man-made ideas to the point of the Renaissance, the revolution of the Renaissance, which intellectualization came to this highest point. After that, of course, was the period of commercialization and business people or the Vaeshyas that came in the Industrial Revolution.

So you can see exactly what happened. The head was gold, and then there was the Persian Empire, the Grecian Empire, and the Roman Empire.

Actually, the Roman Empire split into two, like the two legs of the statue. One leg stayed in Rome, and one leg stayed in the East. It continued until now that it is really, it is like iron, which is intellectualization, which is mixed with the clay, which is spiritual. And they do not mix. They cannot mix together.

What happens to a statue that heavy, over the feet with clay and iron? It does not have a very good strong base, does it, because iron and clay do not mix?

So what is going to happen to that statue? It has to fall. And what happens when it falls? As it says, a stone, which is cut from heaven comes, hits the statue, the statue will fall to pieces, will be scattered, and you will find it no more.

What is that stone? That stone is our teaching, our system, our Mission that has come to earth. Now it says intellectualization is good, but it has a limit.

The system they brought up is better than any system before it, but still it has a limit. What does not have a limit? It is the Communities of Light based on the Eternal Divine Path.

Actually, that is when the people will be empowered because they live in the Communities of Light, and in the Communities of Light each individual has more power than you have in any other system because you choose the system that comes from the Communities of Light. That is the system of God that has to come to humanity.

So you can see that, yes, indeed, God destroyed man and before the flood of Noah closed the third eye, created the history, the period of the Ksattriyas, the warriors, the period of intellectuals, the Vipras, and then now comes the period of the commercialization and business people, the Vaeshyas. He gave that vision to Nebuchadnezzar, explained what was going to happen, and that is exactly what happened.

Then who guided history to this point? God did. So we can see that it is really His history, His Story, not the human story.

Humans think they are the people who make the decisions and do this and do that, make wars, destruction, and all of that, or they made the Renaissance Revolution, or brought all these wonderful industrial comforts to humanity

Or the computer God has said that there is going to be one time that everyone is going to hear it. Everyone is going to see him. Now God has provided that for humanity.

So already God knew what was going to happen and how He was going to guide it to this point. And that is our salvation. That is what we also have to recognize and realize that God is in control; we are not. We think we are.

It is really human ego that thinks they are in control. But actually, it is God who is in control and who has been guiding humanity to this point. And He will guide them to the eventual manifestation of His Kingdom on earth forever. And that is again our salvation.

That is why I say, the number is not important. I would rather have a few dedicated people than to have millions of people who are lukewarm.

So that is why I am not interested in those who are lukewarm. We are interested in those who see this wonderful Vision that has come to them.

As to the new prophecies, someone asked how many Revelations, how many truths are there? How many letters of truth are there? The Prophet told them that there are twenty-seven letters of truth. But so far only two letters of truth have come to humanity.

This Revelation brings the rest of the twenty-five. That is why it is such an amazing Revelation. It explains history. It explains creation. It explains God. It explains man. It explains psychology. Anything you look at is explained to this point for humanity. That is what every one of us has to realize. Go and read those prophecies.

God said this will come. This is His Will. As we can see, He has guided the history to this point, and He will guide it from now on. What seems to us is human, what seems to us is disconnected and not really revealing Gods Spirit, is the foreground music that we hear, we see, we understand, we think, Oh, this is all so scattered and disconnected. But it is not. Gods Spirit behind all of this foreground is the background of Gods Being that is guiding everything for us.

That, of course, needs great faith, understanding, believing in God, seeing Him, and knowing that He really exists. Intellectually even, if you read our teaching, you will see, God said He was going to do these things, and He has done them. Therefore, He is an able God. He would be doing this Revelation, this teaching, and this Mission also.

We are just an instrument here to do His Will, to realize Him, and recognize that, Am I an Elect? That is really a deep question that each of us has to ask, Am I an Elect? Do I have what it takes? It means complete dedication to God and realizing that God really exists.

It is not something that you have just to intellectually understand but deeply also eventually recognize, believe, know God truly exists, and know that everything else out there, any other teaching, any other revelation, any other religion, is just a speck in comparision to the Mission of Maitreya and this Revelation. You recognize that, you just give up on them. You say, No, I do not want something that is just a speck. I want the whole universe.

And this is the whole universe. This is huge. This is amazing. This has a lot of truth in it. But you have to recognize it.

Do not take my words for it. Go study, read, understand, and listen to the Satsangs to see how much truth God has been giving to you. Then say, Yes, I give up. My ego is too small for such a huge thing.

Then come and say, Yes, I have seen the Vision. I am prepared to make a Covenant with God in this and become an Elect. When you do that, you will be a part of this Mission. Of course, you are ready to give up everything for what Gods Revelation has commanded you to be.

So that is the first step, you have to see the Vision, truly see the Vision. Not because someone else told you, or this person sounds good, or this person told me the way it is. But you see the Vision. After you see the Vision then you have to realize that you are an Elect and you want to do this Mission.

So you can see, it is indeed Gods Hand in history. If you read THOTH and listen to the different periods that God created, the workers, the warriors, the intellectuals, and the businessmen, then you can see God indeed has directed history to this point, and He will direct it from now on.

I hope that answered your question. And see the Vision of how God is really able to do all things.

Go ahead, Littleone.

Littleone: Sal-OM, Maitreya. I have a guest here with us today. Her name is Marsha. And Blakely will be coming soon. She is taking her college exams today, although she said she is going to hurry so she could make Satsang. And Randy is here with us also.

We have been talking and we have a cumulative question here. In walking the Path, in learning and understanding the Seven Seals, and also being responsible for our actions, we naturally have many personal interactions with people and some of those situations are very difficult and left unresolved.

Could you please speak to us about forgiveness, burning Karma, and moving forward?

Maitreya: Yes. the Eternal Divine Path, as we said many times, is not something you just intellectually understand, but you follow it, you meditate, you try to understand and know thyself, and awaken your spiritual forces. Then you have to create the communities, the Communities of Light, and live in them. And that is not a very easy thing to do.

It is easier to live by yourself. It is easier to have just you and your partner to live together. When it comes to two couples that want to live together, it gets more complicated and more difficult. If there are three, four, five, six couples, of course, it is a very dynamic situation.

We know about group dynamics and how people affect us. We also teach something that is absolutely reversed or completely different than human understanding at this time.

Many things are accepted in this world right now, which are not completely according to God and Gods Will. Therefore, it is very difficult for those who want to follow God and His Ways to deal with some of the situations or the things going on in the world.

Therefore, we have chosen to be the pioneers. Of course, the most difficult job is the job of those who are pioneers. Those are the first people who come to settle in a new situation. Who has the harder time, the pioneers who came first to the United States, or we who have everything made for us, and are comfortable, etc.?

So we can see that pioneers are going to have a harder time. But at the same time they have the great joy of knowing that what they do will help humanity.

We can see that our teaching and being pioneers is a more difficult job, and we have to make a lot of decisions about what is the priority in our lives and what we want to do in this lifetime. If you ultimately realize that you have no choice but to do the Mission, then it is much easier.

Your priority is always God. God is first. The spiritual teacher is second. Your parents are third. And your spouse is fourth. That is it. That is all you have to worry about.

Now, how to deal with the difficult situation that you feel that you have to forgive people? Of course, always remember the Essence of each person is God, and they have the potential of becoming good and Godly. So if you feel that some people are not Godly or not presenting the highest spirit, do not like the part that is not Godly, but concentrate on the Godly part in them and forgive them for what they do to you.

That is why Christ said, Forgive them Father, they know not what they do. Prophet Muhammad said, If they slap you, slap them back. Then you say, If these both are the Words of God, why are they saying to do two different things?"

Well, the reason is that Prophet Muhammads mission was more socially-oriented, and Christs teaching was more individually-oriented. Therefore, the correct saying would be, If someone did bad to you personally, forgive them. Say, 'Father, they know not what they do.' But if someone did something bad to the society, which is destructive to the social order and the coming of His Kingdom and His Will, therefore, that should not be forgiven."

So with that distinction, if it is recognized, then we are very comfortable with any situation. If the people did bad to us and we cannot correct them, and in correcting them they would not learn their lessons, we just forgive them and forget. Not only just forgive, forgive and forget because with forgiving alone and not forgetting still that is going to use a lot of mental power, take you away from God, and you will not be free because you are still thinking about that bad thing that was done to you.

The forgiveness is really for you, to free you from using your mental energy for revenge, unhappiness, and depression. Also it is really a good tool against being depressed because if you do not forgive, you are always thinking for revenge or unhappiness and, therefore, you are going to harm yourself more than the other person you are not forgiving.

So you have to forgive and forget. You say, OK, this was all done to me in the past. I am going to forgive these people. I am going to let them go. I am going to start from here on in my life, and I am going to attract only good people toward myself so we can live together in harmony. We will not harm each other.

Again, it goes back to the Communities of Light. If you attract good people in the Communities of Light, they do not do any harm to you, so you do not have to forgive them, do you?

Of course, if they do that, in the Communities of Light, the dynamics in the community will correct that person more and more, and they will realize that they also have to become good.

So again, we can see that the answer goes back to the Communities of Light, attracting good people around us, attracting good people in the community, attracting people who are good to each other so we do not even have to forgive any more because there is nothing to forgive.

But, of course, if something bad is done to you, forgive them, forget it, continue in your mission and your mental energy toward God-realization. But if something bad is done that affects the society, destroys the society, and makes the society ungodly, that should not be forgiven.

So the teachings of both Prophets are correct. If bad is done to you, forgive them. And if it is bad done to the society, that should be corrected.

Lou: Yes, my question is concerning Deuteronomy, chapter 26, starting at verse 4:

And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God. And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

My question is concerning that one sentence which says, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, Could you please explain that?

Maitreya: OK, Lou, a Syrian who was my father, ready to perish? Can you say that again? Can you read that sentence again about the Syrian?

Lou: Yes, it says, And thou shalt speak and say before thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

Maitreya: What chapter and verse was that again?

Lou: That was Deuteronomy chapter 26. Let me start from the first verse, is that OK?

Maitreya: Go ahead.

Lou: Yes, And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land, that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shall put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there.

And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come unto the country which the Lord sware unto our fathers for to give us.

And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God. And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

That was from the first to the sixth verse.

My question is on the fifth verse, the line that says, A Syrian ready to perish was my father,

Audience: And it goes on. And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppressions:

And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

Maitreya: Ok, well it sounds like the story about the going of the Children of Israel into Egypt. And apparently there was a conflict between them and the Assyrians at that time, that the Assyrians would lose in that battle or conflict. And the rest of the story is very clear, because it is the story of the Children of Israel going to Egypt and being enslaved. Eventually, of course, the mighty Hand of God saved them.

But what that verse of the Syrian is about, it sounds like the Syrian in that time was looked upon as the father figure or father land or powerful nation and that would be destroyed.

I hope that makes sense to you. Of course, most of the things in the Bible that are the Word of God are the ones that we have commentaries on in The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH). The rest is mostly repetition.

As it says right here, it is repeating the story of the Children of Israel and how they went to Egypt and were enslaved. Actually, it was foretold that was going to happen. As we have just been explaining, God is the director of the history. He already knows what is going to happen. Therefore, He was telling the Prophet that that is going to happen, and that is exactly what happened.

Therefore, in that sentence that you are interested in, it seems to me that it is talking about, in that conflict, the Children of Israel will win, and the Assyrians will be destroyed in the process.

I hope that makes sense. As I said, there are many parts in the Bible also that have been changed by humanity, by humans, and those are the parts that I did not give commentaries on, or they are repetitions. But in this case that is how it sounds to me.

I hope that makes sense. If it does not, bring the question again to see if we can solve that problem.

Lou: OK, thank you. My feeling was that when it says that, A Syrian ready to perish is my father, it seems to me that the Children of Israel were the descendents of a Syrian because it says that, and Sojourned there (in Egypt) a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

That is what I thought, that they were descendents of a Syrian.

Maitreya: Yes, that also could be true, because we know that Abraham lived in the south of Iraq, and at that time it was under the influence of Persia. Most probably Abraham was a Zoroastrian or Persian himself. Eventually, he probably spread out from the south of Iraq to Assyria, north of Iraq, or the northern part of the place where he used to live.

From there, there might have been intermarriage between his people and the Assyrians. The Assyrians might have also been considered as the father of some of the Children of Israel. So that could also be the meaning of that sentence.

But it might have a symbolic meaning. In that time the Assyrians were the powerful nation. But they would be destroyed.

If your explanation is correct, why does anyone want to wish his father to be destroyed in this process, or receive a revelation of destruction of his parents? So it could be the symbolic meaning there. But the most important part is that, that period is finished.

The Children of Israel went to Egypt. They came out and eventually the revelation of the sacrifice, priesthood, and all the elaborate way of rituals to appease the Grace of God is done and finished. We are in a period that the Grace of God can be appeased and reached by following the Eternal Divine Path.

So if any situation like that creates many explanations and might create division between people, the best way is to see the greater vision and not get to the nitty-gritty of the explanation. But see that it is done, it is gone. That period is finished. But now we have to become united in the Path.

Lou: Yes, my second question, is Deuteronomy 4:19. May I read verse 19?

Maitreya: Go ahead.

Lou: And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seeest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the hosts of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

Could you explain that verse, please?

Maitreya: When the Bible talks about all nations, it is referring to the Seventh Angel and the last Revelation. No other Revelation will bring the unity of all nations because those will not unify all humanity and all nations.

If you read The Revelation, that is the only time that all nations will accept the Revelation of God as One. So you can probably refer that verse also as a prophecy or foretelling of the end time. That is when all nations will accept the Revelation that comes to them and will come to become one nation and united.

Does that make sense?

Lou: The sentence, the way it says that, we should not be driven to worship the host of heaven and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. This is the one I am referring to most likely. That I do not really understand when they say, to worship and serve them. What exactly is meant by serving the host of heaven?

Maitreya: Well, that goes very well with one of the Commandments, Thou shalt not have any God, neither in heaven, nor on earth, or under the water, but one God, which is the most high. Anything lower than that, of course, will create disunity, will also misguide you, and it will bring ego to that people.

And also it might have been referring to the ethereal beings in the ethereal level that many people travel and they see great beings in it, and they become entrapped in their own little world in the ethereal level because they can create their own world in that level by their minds.

So the highest God that you should worship is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal. Anything that has form, has sound, has touch, appeals to our senses, is not the highest. To me that sentence is telling us not to do that.

Audience: Yes, we have the Bible here, and I was just reading through it. Actually, if you go back a little bit more, at the very beginning of chapter 4, it is talking about, hearken, O Israel, unto the statues and unto the judgments, which I teach you forever. And about the covenant that God made with the Children of Israel.

And then in verse 14 it said, the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statues and judgments, that ye might do them And then it says, Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

And then the verse you were talking about comes, And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the hosts of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them,

So it sounds like it was a warning to the Children of Israel not to go back to worshipping graven images.

Maitreya: Idol worshipping.

Audience: Do not even worship the sun or the moon.

Maitreya: That is right. That exactly supports our teaching.

The reason I hesitate sometimes to answer these verses is, as I said, there are many places that the Bible have been changed to the human way. But this sounds like it is supporting our teaching.

That is how you know if that part has been changed, if it supports our teaching. If it supports THOTH, therefore, it is from God. And it is surely from God. It says, there is no nothing, you should take no image, nothing in heaven, nothing on earth, nothing under the water, nothing. You should worship no touchable, hearable, seeable, or anything that appears to the senses as God, the ultimate. The ultimate God is Consciousness and the three gunas. And that is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal, and it is within you.

That is the only place you can worship in the greatest degree, when you meditate in God in the temple of your body. That is the greatest realization of God.

Eventually, hopefully, the images will be taken away and we will not accept any image as the representation of God. We will bring an earth that the Spirit is what we worship and that is within ourselves and that is, of course, without us also. We should not take anything without us as God.

If we look at that, we say, Well, what percent of humanity is in the wrong worshipping of God?

So those sentences and that chapter very well, again, confirm that the only God is the God that is beyond any senses. And if you reach there, then you are in Pure Consciousness.

Lou: Thank you very much, Maitreya. I do understand that. It is just that I was a little bit unclear about when you said divided them unto all the nations under the earth. But you cleared that up.

Another question that I have, still in Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 10 and 11 where it says about the worshipping of times and a consulter with familiar spirits. Could you explain on that? What do they mean by familiar spirits? Is it the same as those channeling materials that are abounding on the earth right now, or what?

Maitreya: First of all, about the first thing that you said about dividing them, it is a possibility that it is referring to chapter 6 in Genesis that the sons of God saw the daughters of men and took of all they could. They became worldly, and they fell to their fleshly desires. They became sons of God that failed.

Many people these days are following the sons of God and they are creating hierarchies between man and God, and they become god for those people who follow these hierarchies. Instead of going to God directly, they are disconnected from God and these sons of God set themselves up as gods between man and God. So that might be referring to the ethereal beings again and the things that disconnect man from God directly.

You do not need anyone between you and God. God is closer to you than anything else. Anyone who says differently, they are false prophets and are trying to connect you to themselves and therefore, they become your God.

Therefore, that could be referring to that. So it says, do not accept anything as your guiding Light or Source of truth, but God. Many people fall for them. Do not fall for them. Go to God directly.

About your question about the familiar spirits, probably you should read more about those verses to me, or we can read it here and see what is in these verses because just bringing one word from the Scripture, it is hard to see what that verse or chapters are about. That is because the writers of the Bible were different people so they used different terminology for the meaning of the same thing that another person in another part of the Bible used another terminology.

So it is sometimes hard to see what they did mean by the familiar spirits. Do you want to read it here? OK, let us read the verses to see what it means.

Audience: This is chapter 18 in Deuteronomy. The very beginning sounds like God is talking to the priests, the Levites. It starts, The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.

And then it goes on, Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. And this shall be the priests due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. The first fruit also It goes on and on.

For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever. And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, I am just skipping to a few places.

Then he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do,... They shall have like portions to eat, When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord they God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.

Maitreya: OK, apparently all those things, that is what they had been doing before. That was actually what the witches and the people who use the energy to satisfy their own lower nature desires, is all about.

Some people meditate, and eventually they gain some powers. As we can see, there are 900 numbers all over the place that they have set up to read your future, or tell you what you are doing, etc. That is some power. Those are some siddhis. That is your birthright for you to have it and realize what God wants for you in your life.

But a lot of people use that little power they gain for material gain, and they fall very hard. So that is what it is talking about here, these things you do not do.

As Christ said, the humblest is the greatest in the kingdom. It is not the one who has the psychic power, who has healing power, who does the miracle things.

Even if you have a healing power, be humble about it. Humbly heal those people who need your healing power. But even better than that, teach them how to heal themselves instead of healing them. They do not know how to heal themselves and you leave. The unclean spirit comes with the seven more vicious than before, takes over the body of that person, and they do not know how to heal themselves.

That is another part of our teaching. You meditate. You do exercises. You do The Reminder. You do the kirtan. You listen to the teaching. And you eventually realize how to heal yourself, how to heal other people, and how to heal the earth.

Actually, this is the healing power for the earth, to take them away from all those things that were listed there: Taking images as God, becoming a witch, becoming a soothsayer, becoming whatever is explained. And one of them, apparently, was a time watcher. Someone who would sit and watch the time or something? An observer of time. It was observing time. Maybe telling the future. Or, as psychic powers, could tell the future.

As I said, when I started meditating in the beginning I could do that very easily. I misused it and I learned my lesson very fast. It is not a good thing to do. The powers are not important but being humble, following the Eternal Divine Path, creation of the Communities of Light, and bringing Gods Kingdom, are.

Actually, the more you glorify God, the more you will be glorified. The more you glorify yourself, the less you will be glorified. That is the Law. Therefore, those who glorify themselves because they have a little power they gained, will lose it or they will not receive what they long for, and that is recognition of God, Bliss, and the Grace of God that will bring them greater benefit than the little benefit they can gain from their little powers.

So we can see again, that this teaching is verified with the Bible, Gods Words. Gods Words will never perish, but those who will not listen to them will. And that is again another Law. This is the thing that humanity has to deeply understand, that He is in control.

He is the one who created the History. History is a lesson for humanity to learn from (not to make the mistakes) and progress in a greater degree.

When He said do not have any of this, you should not. And you should listen very carefully to Gods Words. Gods Words are the Light in your Path. Avoid and be very avoiding to anyone who teaches any other things but the Words of God.

It is difficult. It is easier to go along. It is easier to accept everyones word as, Yes, it is OK. Let us do the things that are not Gods Words. And many people feel it is politically incorrect being Godly and following Gods Words. But, of course, when the time comes and the time of sundering comes, I do not think those who are politically correct are going to be the Chosen Ones.

So you have to deeply meditate on these things and see what is right. God said do not choose any image on earth. God is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal. And the only place you can find It is within yourself. No where else. It is not out there; it is within you. And the Words of God, of course, which are the Scriptures.

But be very careful when you read the Scriptures. See if it is supported by THOTH. If it is not supported with THOTH and our teachings, then pause and see if it is the Word of God, or it is the word of man that has been put in the Scriptures.

Lou: That is fine. Thank you very much, Maitreya.

Maitreya: You are welcome, Lou. I hope all humanity will see these things clearly. And hopefully we will abort a great deal of destruction that is coming to humanity. If we come and follow the Eternal Divine Path, we surely will avoid what is coming to man.

Audience: I do not have a question, Maitreya-ji, but I just wanted to make a comment. Before I met you and before I learned about the teachings, I was such a wreck because I had no idea where I was going, what I was doing, and who I was supposed to listen to. There were so many voices out there telling you that you should do this, there is this, go this way, this is right, womens liberation, and this and that. It was just crazy.

I just want to say, thank you very, very much for giving me some guidance. It is such a confusing place out there. I feel so sorry for the young people right now because they are getting so many different voices about what is the right way to go. Just, thank you.

Maitreya: Well, you are welcome and thank God. I was as confused as you were [laughing] before I received the Revelation. Of course, that is what makes the difference between us and other people who never search, ask, want to know the truth, who live a life, and that is the end of it.

But if you have a searching Soul, what I say makes sense to you. It hits your spirit and you say, Yes, that makes a lot of sense. That is what God said, that is what Maitreya said, that is what God wants us to do, and therefore, we will follow the way God wants things to be done."

Of course, in this Mission, no one is going to make you come, join, stay, and never leave. Or, it is not a cult. It is a Revelation of God based on the Scriptures, based on the prophecies, that God sent to humanity. Therefore, you will have to come to that conclusion yourself.

When you come to that conclusion and you see the light and the truth in what we reveal, you will be freer and freer every day. Eventually you will reach a point that you listen to God instead of the many voices that are out there, pulling you and pushing you in so many different directions, and eventually you become completely confused as many of humanity are.

That is very understandable because we do not have guidance. We do not have a yardstick. We grow up and we listen to the environment and people tell us what is correct and what is not. It is easy, as I said, to conform. It is much easier to conform to the environment than to swim against the flow.

It is easy to just lie down on the floor and the water takes you where the water wants to take you, than if you say, No, I want to go to that point, and you start swimming against the flow.

You feel sometimes that you are not even able to swim because the flow is so strong and powerful. But if you really swim for a long time, you become strong enough to swim in any current.

And, the Grace of God is surely with those who will see this clearly. They can stand the pressure and see their way clearly. And it is an individual decision. It is individual.

You have to make a decision that you will become a good person, no matter how bad the world is. That is what you decide, I will be a good person. Otherwise the world cheats you, and the world lies to you. After a while you say, Well, everyone is lying, everyone is cheating, why not me? Then you fall and become like the rest of the world. That is the decision you have to make that, I will become a good person. I will not do what the world does or tells me to do.

That is why meditation is called Sadhana in Sanskrit. It is a struggle. Struggle means that you are going against the flow.

So I hope that if I, or this Revelation, could even help one person, my reward is given. I have received my reward in this Revelation. But I hope this will help many, many more people on earth.

They were good questions, Lou. I do not mind that the people bring the Scriptures. We can read them together and we can discuss them. That is fine.

We can bring also THOTH and other places that anyone has a question about. But there are parts in the Bible that are not the Words of God. Those are the parts that we have to really look at and be careful about them.

But most of it, God kept pretty pure. Also, it has been translated twenty-seven times and many people tried to take some parts out. It is a pretty clean book. But those places that I have already given a commentary, they surely are the Words of God. The rest, we have to be very careful and be discerning when we read them and compare them with THOTH to see if they are really the Words of God.

Go ahead, Lou.

Lou: Yes, this question is concerning the part in Jeremiah. In Jeremiah, chapter 7, verses 22-23 it reads, For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: But this thing commanded I them saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Now, my question is, when it says I never spoke to them concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices, could you explain that?

Maitreya: Yes. If you remember, the Children of Israel fell in the desert. And God told them He was not going to reveal His true teaching and Revelations until all that generation died out and then He would give His Commandments and Laws to the next generation. That is why they had to wander in the desert for forty years before the new land was given to them and the new things and Revelation was given to the Children of Israel.

So probably that is what this verse is referring to that God did not give this command to their father because their father failed, and they made a calf and started worshipping the image of the calf like the Egyptians, where they had come from. They did not worship the Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal.

So probably that is what it is referring to. I am sure that makes sense to you, and I think that is exactly what the meaning of that sentence is.

Lou: OK, thank you. That does make sense. Thank you.

Maitreya: That is what humans have to do, they have to come out of their lower natures. All this confusion, all these problems that we have are in our first three chakras. Either they are afraid of survival, which is fear of not being provided for, which is the first chakra. Or, they are completely being caught up in the family, their desire for companionship, temptation, and all of that, which is the second chakra. Or, they are in a power trip, and political maneuvering, which is the third chakra.

The human has to go out of this lower nature. They have to go to their higher self, to their fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chakras and become completely away from these fears, desires, attachments, temptations, and power trips, create the Communities of Light, and go and become perfect in the Communities of Light. Therefore, after a while, these questions are all going to be dissolved and all these problems will be resolved by themselves. But each individual has to start by themselves.

No one can help anyone else but yourself. That is why I have said one hundred times, you do not say, Oh, I have to help these people. Stop. You cannot help them. Help yourself first. Know thyself, progress, and get out of your lower nature. Then you will help them without even trying because you are in a place that they will be helped with you.

So again, the lower nature of man is the problem. The ego is the problem. All this confusion and destruction is from the lower nature of man, and humanity has to learn this lesson. They have to realize this.

With education, with communication, with the tools that God has given us, we have great ability to spread these truths to every corner of humanity and earth. We will show them that there is a way out. And this is the way: The Eternal Divine Path, awakening of your spiritual forces, realizing yourself in a greater degree, then coming to community so your physiological and safety needs are taken care of.

Your first chakra is no longer bothersome. Temptation will no longer destroy you or take you away from God by spiritualizing your life and by realizing that power trips and political maneuvering all through history eventually end in destruction. Those who have been powerful will be powerless and will be destroyed. Those who are powerless will become powerful and make the same mistakes as the ones who were powerful before them.

So they have been making the same mistakes over and over and over. We have to learn from history and come to this conclusion: We have no choice but to work on ourselves, work on the community, create Communities of Light, bring many communities all over the world, and eventually humanity will realize that this is the only way out. Any other way will eventually lead to destruction.

You do not have to listen to my words, just study history. Look at what happen to this history to this point. See what the problem of humanity is.

Look, if there is any image or anything taken as God it will create separation. And separation, of course, creates ego trips, I am better than you because my God is better than your God. My God is prettier. My God dances. My God sings. My God plays the flute. Or, all of that, My God is the only way. It all is an ego trip. It is based on the human ego that wants to say, I am better than you.

No one is better than anyone. We are all a part of God and the Essence of God, and we have to recognize and realize that. And the sooner we do that the sooner we can create the Communities of Light.

The sooner we create the Communities of Light, the sooner we can bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. This is the Way. This is the salvation of man, physically, mentally, spiritually, individually, and collectively.

We have looked at this from many, many ways, from many angles and always our conclusion was the same: Communities of Light and the Eternal Divine Path is the answer.

During the month if there is a question that popped up in your mind, or you wanted to ask a question from the Mission, always you can send it to the Mission and you will be answered. Or, go to our website and send an e-mail to one of our counselors, and ask your question from them.

But you can always send easily to the Mission and someone will surely answer you. So you have an alternative during the month.

Of course, I will be here every month for two hours and will answer your questions.

OK, go ahead, Lou.

Lou: This is concerning the Koran. I thought I had heard your mention that there were different writings of the Koran. Is that right?

Maitreya: Yes. Actually, the Koran, as everyone knows, was an oral revelation from Prophet Muhammad. It was so flowing and so beautifully said, it was almost like a poem. The people could easily remember what Prophet Muhammad said. There were many people around him that actually memorized it, from memory, from what he said.

Of course, as we know, although you might say you memorized it, you might hear it a little differently, change a word here, a word there and come up with your own idea of what Prophet Muhammad said. So they kept it that way and they thought that was fine. The people who remembered the verses could always tell what Prophet Muhammad said.

But they had a war in Yemen between the Moslems and the Yemenis, and a lot of those people who knew the Koran died in that war. After that, the leaders, or the Khaliphas, decided that that is not a good idea to just leave them to the people to memorize them, to remember them, but it was better to gather the verses and put them in the Koran, in one book.

At that time, two people had already been doing that. When they came to look at what they had, they realized there were two versions and some verses did not even match each other. They also started asking people, What did you hear that Prophet Muhammad said? And they came up with different answers from different people.

So after a while they realized there were so many different ways of saying what Prophet Muhammad said. And eventually, two versions became prominent in Islam at that time.

But because the Khalipha, or the leader in Islam, did not want to have two versions they discussed it for a long time and eventually, they choose one version as the sayings of Prophet Muhammad. Later on, actually, that even evolved to many versions in many different countries because Islam spread so fast to so many different nations. The dialogue of different nations, the way it was translated, the way it was said in different places, also made different words of what Prophet Muhammad said.

It was in the time of one of the leaders of the Uthman Empire, one of the leaders, the Khalipha, the Islamic leader, decided, No, you shall have one version of the Koran, not so many versions in so many nations." So he again made a committee, or a body, that gathered all the versions of the Koran from all over the Empire and eventually came up with the version that is accepted now. Then he destroyed every other version in the Empire.

Of course, the Empire covered almost all the Islamic nations at that time. So he destroyed every other version and he made the version that we have now as the official version of the Islamic Koran.

Actually, I saw one site in the Internet that they have found one version of the Koran before. There was one website where they had found one version of the Koran in Uzbekistan or some where like that, one of the Russian satellites, which separated from Russia, which still is intact. The book had been kept there from being destroyed. And it was in the website. So still there are probably some versions left somewhere in the world that are different than the one that we have now.

So you can see that even the Koran was not purely written down. There were many versions, and probably it was influenced with many ideas of people who put them down.

Lou: OK, thank you, Maitreya.

Maitreya: Go ahead, Marsha.

Marsha: Sal-OM Maitreya, this is Marsha. In light of what continues to go on in the Middle East, speak to that situation and explain to me what I am seeing? What am I looking at?

Maitreya: The Middle East situation is literally between two brothers, Ishmael and Isaac. They were two brothers.

The Arabs are from Ishmael. And, of course, the Hebrews were supposed to be from Isaac. But today we have Chinese Jews, black Jews, and Russian Jews. If they all came from Israel, how can we have so many different varieties of Jews?

The reason is that God made it very clear that He would scatter them all over the world, and they would be changed to something, which is not completely the original Jewish people, who came from one father, one person. So even Israel itself said, We really do not know what really the Hebrew race is anymore."

Therefore we can see that God scattered the Jewish people all over the world and made them into so many different nations and races that it is hard to know exactly where the original is. Also some people converted to Judaism after it started spreading.

But the point also was that God will gather them together at the end time. God chose those people who called themselves Jews and brought them back to the Holy Land, as Israel.

Therefore, the Moslems, or the Children of Ishmael, should realize and recognize that God has told that they will come back to that land and they will gather together as a nation.

Of course, according to our teaching, the Children of Israel is not a race, is not one people. Whoever follows the Eternal Divine Path and realizes that they have to overcome to become a son of God, are the Chosen.

What is a son of God? A son of God is a Child of Light, isnt he? A son of God is a Child of God and that is the Children of Light. And the Children of Israel means the Children of Light.

Therefore, the Children of Israel really are the people who will follow the Eternal Divine Path and will bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. And it is not Jews, or Moslems, or Christians, or Hindus, or Buddhists but it is a quality of the person that separates them from everyone else. And that quality is they see the Vision of the Seven Seals, they follow it, and eventually they become a Child of Light or the Children of Israel who are chosen by God. They are the Chosen Ones; they are the Elects.

Therefore, we can see that there is a lot of misunderstanding in the Middle East. And, of course, political maneuvering, desires, lower nature, wants, and the things that humans are creating to dominate other people and other nations. That is not helping either.

So there are many, many complex situations in that area. It is complex everywhere, but especially in that area, which is the source of all the Revelations from God.

So it is a very complex situation in the Middle East. These are the things that every party in that area, like everywhere else, has to realize, Gods Work is different than what they believe and they understand. And the explanation now is in THOTH, in the Mission of Maitreya, in the Eternal Divine Path. And the creation of the Communities of Light is the salvation to go through.

The creation of the Communities of Light lets Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Moslems, Christians, and everyone realize the Essence in every man, look at it in that way, become one, and realize that there is only one God.

There is no such God as the God of the Moslems, or the God of the Christians, or the God of the Hindus, or the Buddhists. There is one God and that is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal. Also realize, as I said, the political gains will eventually be turned into political liability.

As history has taught us, no nation will be forever. Even the one thousand years of the peace of Rome did not last forever. Therefore, we have to recognize and realize that the history has given us many, many lessons, and we are one humanity, one planet earth, or one space earth on earth and we are sharing it all together.

We have no choice. That is the way out of that situation. If the Moslems realize that God told us that the Jews are going to come back and be gathered in that land again, they are not going to oppose them. If the Jews realize that Christ said that the Kingdom will be taken away from them and given to another nation, they are not going to fight the Moslems because that was the other nation.

If the Moslems, Christians, and Jews realize that God promised both to Abram and Abraham the coming of a Prophet, or a Messiah, they would realize that Prophet Muhammad also was foretold to come by God. If all humanity realizes that God had foretold that the Seven Seals and the Seven Prophets will come to humanity, then all humanity would realize that they have no choice but to accept all religions as a part of His Revelation. And this destruction, this separation, these things that we see on earth will be resolved and will be dissolved away.

We have to put the politics out of it. We have to create an earth that we can share the resources with each other and reach out to the space for a greater standard of living for everyone.

There are infinite resources out there in the space that we can use. So our salvation again is the Mission of Maitreya, the recent realization of history, seeing this thing clearly, making more people see it, bringing more people together, creating the Communities of Light, and bringing the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.

There is no other way you can resolve the problems that we have on earth. Not only in the Middle East, we have them everywhere. We have them in England, with the IRA. We have South America, we have a lot of problems there. We have Africa, we have are a lot of problems there.

Of course, the Middle East is more prominent because our interest is greater there in the Middle East. Therefore, it becomes more advertised and we hear more about it. Also it is more intense and it has been there for thousand of years.

It really started when Ishmael and Isaac did not get along. At least, their mothers did not get along. And they had problems with each other.

So again we can see that the salvation of humanity is God. That is the way God wanted it. That is the way God said that He was going to do it.

It is different than what the Jews think. It is different than what the Christians think. It is different than what the Moslems think. It is different than what the Bahais think. It is different than what the Hindus and the Buddhists think. They are all a part of a greater truth.

If they can see that, then they will realize, Oh, OK, yes, I can see that God sent all these things and I have no choice but to accept Gods Revelation."

So the difference is between human understanding and Gods Understanding or Plan. If we put our own understanding away, and accept Gods Plan, then we will not have any problem with anyone.

We will become universalists. The whole universe will become our home. God will become our Father and Mother. And we will be free from not knowing ourselves. We will be free from our physiological and safety needs. We will be free from temptation, and we will realize that God truly exists and He will bring His Kingdom on earth.

Are we going to be a part of it, or not? That is the question that really every person should ask themselves.

All right, our time is up. I hope this answered your question. Of course, Littleone can probably help you to read THOTH, and become a little more familiar with our teachings. You are always welcome here. Ask your questions or send your questions to the Mission.

All right, Gods Blessing be with you all and know that God has been calling you. Become an Elect, find other Elects, and let us bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.

Have a wonderful Godly month. Sal-OM everyone!
