Conversations with Maitreya
06/28/2003
Maitreya: Welcome to the Mission of Maitreya, Eternal Divine Path. We welcome you to our room again, and apparently there are only our own people here, which is OK.
So we can have this as a regular way that we do during the week and as the people come in, we will carry it out and preach to them the Mission. If there is any question you guys have yourselves for me, you can go ahead and bring them up. If you do not, then we can go ahead with the regular way of doing this room.
We are going to talk about different aspects of the Mission, and hopefully we will have some people who understand the Mission and the Teaching in a greater degree. Eventually all of us will realize what this Teaching is all about.
The Teaching revolves about what it is all about. So I do not have to go through explaining to you what it is. But if anybody needs more explanation about it, you can go ahead and ask about it. And maybe we can have a business meeting instead of conversation [smiles] and talk about what is the business of the Mission going on out there.
Either way is fine, we can just have a conversation with each other and see what is going to inspire in today’s session. If you do not have a question, then we can just go ahead and talk about different things in the Mission. Also, let me ask, who loves God among you? Do you love God a lot? [reading answers]
Oh good. That is good. Great. “I love God too.” And if we love God with all our hearts, minds, and spirits, then we will see that we are free from a lot of problems in this life and the ego is not going to come in because God is first.
Yes, we are talking about loving God with all our hearts, minds, and spirits, and how that will help us not to get in the trips and traps of the ego, and it will free us from a lot of problems that we can see so many people are having because they do not want to love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit, and therefore their ego comes in and it makes them not to follow God’s Will and God’s Way.
How much humans like to have opinions, ideas, and thinking that they know. And it is amazing when you think about it, that is one trend in humans, that they love to have their own ideas.
That is great, and that is probably one of the problems that we are facing in this Mission. God has been trying to make humans to have their ideas the same as God’s ideas for the last 12,000 years, and maybe even longer than that.
So we can look at it and say it is really a big problem but at the same time we like individuality and people have to be treated as individuals. But when they become individuals, they have their own ideas. Now, how can we make human ideas the same as God’s ideas? What did God say in every situation, and why are we having such a hard time to make humans think like God instead of thinking that they have their own opinions and ideas?
Somebody said, No, Maitreya, you are trying to make us to think like you. It is your big ego that is in the way.
But if we look at what we are teaching here, it is similar to what is in the Scriptures. We do not say anything that is not Scriptural. So we can see that, that is not true but we are trying to make humans to become like gods.
So, now the question is, how can we make them to realize God more instead of adding their own ideas? And that has happened from the very beginning in the garden of Eden, hasn’t it? God said, You should not do these things, and they said, No, we want to do it.
Still we have the same problem here in the Mission. How can we overcome that? By loving God with all our hearts, minds, and beings. If we love God more than we love ourselves, then whose opinions are we going to seek? Ourselves’ or God’s? It sounds like again the way of Bhakti or devotion, is the fastest way to get to God. You love your God with all your heart, mind, and spirit.
How can we make people love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit? They love a lot of other things more than they love God. They love their culture, they love their football, they love their soccer, they love their television, family, wife, husband, child, a lot of #1’s before The #1.
How can we make all these people love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit, or can we? Can we make them? Can we make them, how? Do we force them, put the gun to their heads and say, “You shall love God with all your heart, mind, and spirit?” Is that what you mean?
Or God puts the fear in their hearts? Actually, they do! If God puts the fear in their hearts, they do love God and suddenly say, “Oh God, help me, help me.” Just remember six months ago there was a bumper sticker all over the cars, “In God we trust,” “God Bless Us,” and all that.
Now six months later, all those bumper stickers are not there anymore. I am talking about after 9-11. They got pretty upset with what happened with 9-11. Then everybody became very Godly and remembered God. Now they forget God.
Yes, God can make them. But is this the best way to do it, to make man to love God with their hearts? [reading text]
Comment [text]: I think as they see Communities of Light in action, they will want to become that way.
Maitreya: Alright. We are trying to create Communities of Light here in Rio Rancho, and how many people really are in Communities of Light and trying to become One with God and love God with their hearts instead of loving their possessions or worldly things or their egos and all that?
How many are there that are trying to create Communities of Light? We have to get people to create Communities of Light, and are we having Communities of Light? Are the people willing to do that, to come and love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit?
Again, the thing is, in order to create Communities of Light you have to get to that point to love God with all our heart, mind, and spirit. So, just sitting here, “Communities of Light form, Communities of Light form, Communities of Light form, Communities of Light form,” will the Communities of Light form? Does talk cook the rice? It does not, does it?
Also, we have experimented with so many different individuals and ways, and still we end up with Communities of Light not forming.
So we can see that we are having a problem here. Really it is not a problem but the solution is, can we make man to think of God and love God with all their hearts, minds, and spirits instead of having their own ways and wants and desires, instead of creating Communities of Light.
Of course, everybody is progressing, but you can see the same problem we have as the same problem God had in the Garden of Eden. He told Adam and Eve that your happiness and Oneness is to follow the rules and the ways that God created, and it did not happen.
Now they are doing the same thing here. The solution is to get the people who love God with all their hearts. It sounds like it is a hard thing to do, doesn’t it?
Well, pioneers always have the hardest time, that is true. That is very true. The first pioneers in any situation are going to have a hard time, of course, because they are swimming against the flow. And swimming against the current is harder than just lying in the current and saying, “OK, take me wherever you want,” and it will take you here. If you completely trust the current, sometimes it smashes you to a stone or a rock or something in the middle of the river, and you will be all bruised up. [reading text]
Comment [text]: The flow in the water right now is not very flowing [laughter].
Maitreya: That is true. You can see that the whole world is actually that they have their own ideas and opinions, and they are pulling the society in different directions, and many directions are not very Godly at all.
So what are we going to do? What is the solution? What is the way? We want to bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE). We have the same problem that God had in the Garden of Eden. Now, can we make everybody love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit?
God had a hard time. We are having a hard time. What is the solution? Well, that is the question that I am asking all of you, what is the solution? How can we make man to love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit? Is it possible at all? Maybe it is not possible. If it is not possible, then what is the answer to it?
Think about it. What do you guys think? What do you think the answer is? How can we make man to love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit? [reading text]
Comment [text]: You always say we can work on no one but ourselves.
Comment [text]: Only by setting an example within ourselves.
Comment [text]: This Message and THOTH are changing people. It is a slow process but they are beginning to hear.
Maitreya: OK. So what you are saying is that we can change people to love God with all their hearts, and it is a slow process. How slow is it? How long does it take? One lifetime? Twelve years? Seven years? Twenty years? Each person is different? Some people never get it? How long does it take? [reading text]
Comment [text]: All of the above.
Maitreya: [smiles] Alright.
Comment [text]: It is an eternal process.
Maitreya: Alright. OK, well.
Comment [text]: More effort in the Communities, workshops on different aspects of the Eternal Divine Path, more grassroots effort.
Maitreya: OK. Go ahead Shirin.
Shirin: OK, I will go ahead and just jump into this and see where it goes. There is a verse in Commentaries on Saint Matthew that says that when Christ was teaching and was going back and forth with the Pharisees and Scribes, a word jumped out at me where it says, “Christ spoke with authority.” And that has been a word that I have been looking at all week. What is “authority?”
I think we each think, “Oh, this person is in charge, that person is in charge, and we have this certain amount of authority,” or whatever. But if we really go back and Christ, because he spoke the truth, and as long as we are in a separate illusion because of our separateness, we think we have the truth and we think that we have our own authority, and it is just not true, because the only authority can come from God.
But we are fighting with God over that authority. Does that make any sense?
Maitreya: OK, you can put it that way, it is an opinion. Why do people have opinions, “I think this should be this way.” It means that “I really want to have the authority to tell other people what to do. This is my opinion, it is my idea, it is a good idea to come to this conclusion.
So, we can see that opinions or ideas and authority have the same meaning. You put it in the word “authority” but really …
We did not mean to red-dot you when you came into this room. Some setting was there that was not supposed to be there.
Everybody is welcome to this room. We are talking about the Mission of Maitreya, Eternal Divine Path, the new Revelation from God that has unified all religions of the world.
We recommend that everybody goes to our website [www.maitreya.org] and read our Teaching and look at everything we say, and then if you have any questions, come here and let us talk about them, or if you want to talk to see where your understanding of religions falls into this new Teaching. [reading text]
Question [text]: Where do you each live in the world?
Maitreya: No, we are different people from different places, all our names are blue because we paid for PalTalk. That is why we our names are all blue. So to answer your question, Shirin, that is actually why we have opinions probably and we are so attached to them. It is because we have thought about them that we came to this conclusion that what we believe is the correct way, and therefore when we tell people, “My idea or opinion is that,” or, “I believe in this,” really they are saying that, “I want you to believe the way I believe and am very attached to.”
But if you are talking about the Word of God, that is why Christ had authority because when he said something, it was not his opinion or idea. He did not sit and talk about it, and came up with it himself, but he was saying what was the Word of God and was the truth.
Therefore, other people also saw that, the truth and the strength and power in it, and they saw that what he said made sense and they also wanted to follow what he said because it was from God and it was not a person’s opinion but it had come from much higher energy and level, therefore it had the authority. The people wanted to follow what he said. The authority he said had come from God Himself, not from the person.
If I had given Satsang about this religion as my own idea, you guys would not like it. You would not love it the way a lot of you do, because it has come from a greater authority and therefore it gives you the feeling that, “Yes, it is the truth and I want to follow it.”
But in the world, there are a lot of opinions and ideas. If everybody has their own opinions, but their opinion is not the same as God’s Words and Understanding, therefore they do not have authority. They lack authority because they love their ideas being accepted, loved, and followed, but they don’t. That is why it makes them frustrated because they feel they are alone, they are lonely, “Nobody listens to me, nobody listens to my ideas.” Why?
It is because what you have is not the same as God’s. It does not have the authority. And if it does not have the authority, of course, nobody would listen and you feel lonely and left out, and all that. Therefore, you do not have the authority.
Authority is the ability to make other people see that what you say is the truth. Therefore they have the ability to work with them and make their lives also become more Godly. But most humans do not want that. That is the problem we have had from the very beginning. That is why God sends the Prophets to bring the Word of God to human because He has the authority for those are ready to see it.
So, the question was, or brought up, that in order to overcome the ego, you should love God with all your heart, mind, and spirit. If you do that, ego dissolves itself right away, because your ego cannot come in. God has filled you up, so we can see that this even happened in the Garden of Eden. It has happened in history. It is happening now. Even we are having a hard time to make people love God with all their heart.
So the question is, how can we do that? How can we make people love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit, forget about their ideas, opinions, and understandings, and come to terms with God and His Way and His Words and His Understanding, and follow them, instead of keeping our own ideas or opinions, and keep the situation that we have among us and among everybody else.
That is the question, and Shirin came up and talked about “authority,” if God had authority, and what does “authority” mean? We were just explaining that authority means that your word has the power in the higher level, and therefore it should be heard, accepted, and followed. Therefore that brings that authority to people.
If we also become One with God with our Teaching, you become an authority in the Mission and the Word of God. You can tell people, look, there is one religion and God said He would send Seven Seals, Seven Religions, and He will eventually unify them together. That is authority. That is the truth.
That is exactly what God said He was going to do, and now He did them. Now we can see that God sent this Revelation and is telling humanity, I sent all those religions that you are now following. Why did those words of the Prophets become religions? It is because they had authority. They had the power of the highest level, therefore they created a religion.
Now God says, Yes, they had authority, but their authority was only a part of a greater authority, which is the Eternal Divine Path, which is the unification of all religions together as we have them in the Mission. So we can see that again this Teaching has come and it does have authority.
Not only does it have authority, but it also has the authority over all other Revelations and authorities, and now we are asking humans to come and look. Whoever, of course, teaches this Teaching, they also have authority if they truly empty their cups and let this Teaching come through them.
I attracted so many people and each of you can attract so many other people, and they can attract so many, and pretty soon we can see everybody on earth is talking about the Eternal Divine Path, the Seven Seals, the Revelation that came from God, that all the religions of the world are a part of a greater truth.
Therefore, I have more people realizing these things, and of course, if we overcome the flow of the world, instead of us fighting it, or we just trying to cope up with it, we then become the people who will flow in the flow of the world which is the Eternal Divine Path, and then the life will become easier.
But the question remains, how can we make people to love God with all their hearts, minds, and spirits, and can we? God didn’t make us to do this in the Garden of Eden. How are we going to even listen to Him? God told them, Love your God with all your heart, mind, and spirit, and do not do those things I told you not to do.
They did not listen. Now they are saying the same thing, and the other Prophets also came and said the same thing for the last 12,000 years. So then the conclusion is that some people are never going to learn? [reading text]
Question: So why did God put all these religions on earth if He was going to send the Seven Seals, etc.? So He was sending, but why now?
Maitreya: It is because, He was sending each of these … OK, let us go back before the 12,000 years. Before the 12,000 years, the Eternal Divine Path was known by man. But because they loved the world more than God, they fell. It also goes very well with the belief of the Hindu religion that there is a 12,000-year period of the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Kali.
After the Bronze Age, the 12,000 years of Kali when darkness comes, and after 12,000 years, the Golden Age again comes to earth. So, according to that belief, there are 12,000 years of [reading text], well, there are different groups, some people say 10,000 years, some people say 12,000 years. Some people even say 36,000 years. So let us not get to that small little thing.
But there is a period of time that these things happened. So it is believed that the Kali Age started around 12,000 years ago which is this time. Even that goes very well with the belief in the Hindu religion, this is the time. The 12,000 years are up. This is the time for the coming of the Golden Age. Therefore, in the last 12,000 years, God was sending each part of the Eternal Divine Path as a religion to humanity.
The first teaching came after the Flood of Noah. It was the teaching of the Mystical Paths and eventually ended up as the Vedas in the Hindu religion and they started following that, “You have to know yourself, Atman and atman are One, so you and God are the same.” Houd and Houda are the same thing. You and God have the same qualities and both are the Essence.
So that came as the Vedas and the religion of Hinduism, and eventually Buddhism also tried to purify Hinduism, and it became a religion by itself. It was not supposed to become a religion. It came as purifying Hinduism because the Brahmins had become so powerful that the religion of Hinduism, instead of being a joy, became a series of rituals, and “unclean people” and “untouchables” and different levels of human hierarchy that they created, and the Brahmins become so powerful that everybody was afraid of them.
Buddha came and said, Just throw all the gods out. Just forget about gods, and all these rituals and things that they have created. Know thyself and reach Nirvana or Oneness with God. So he came to purify Hinduism, but of course, it became Buddhism by itself.
After that, the next step was in Buddhism and the Mystical Paths was, Do not worry about anything else. The world is an illusion, and just believe in God and eventually become a drop and fall into the ocean and reach Nirvana.
God said, No, no. You also have to bring Communities into the picture. That is why He sent the Old Testament. He chose Abraham and told him to start the Children of Israel and also the Ishmaelites or the Children of Ishmael. But in the Old Testament, of course, He concentrated solely on the Children of Israel and in that revelation, God showed very clearly He wants a Community. [reading text]
Comment [text]: Buddhists do not believe in God. They believe they are god or something like that.
Maitreya: [smiles] The reason for that is, as I said, Buddha was so fed up with all the Hindu gods, that everybody had different gods and they worshipped them, and they were doing rituals and spending so much time and energy in pleasing the gods that the people stopped knowing themselves and becoming One with God.
That is why Buddha came and said, Just forget about those gods, know thyself, meditate, follow the Eight-Fold Path of purification to reach Nirvana. Later some Buddhists said, Well, he said there is no God. He never said that. He just said, Forget about those gods and go to your Essence which is God.
That is why they think they are gods. There are branches in Buddhism that actually do believe there is God, but most of the Buddhists have reached this conclusion that Buddha said there is no God. But he never said that.
That is another dogma, like all the dogmas in all religions. They have come up with these ideas that really were not the words of the founder. They are the words of the disciples or those who have thought they are doing good things for their religion and went to extremes, and what he said is twisted to something that he never said.
He never said there is no God, and there are branches even now in Buddhism that do believe in God. But the essence of those teachings were to know thyself. Even in Hinduism they say, “Atman and atman are the same.”
We believe that, and we know that our Essence and God’s are the same. That is the essence of all the Mystical Paths. In the Persian language, “Hod” means individual, and “Hoda” come from the same root. They are the same. If you know Hod, you know Hoda. If you know yourself, you know God. [reading text]
Govinda [text]: Quality, yes, up and down.
Maitreya: What do you mean by that, Govinda?
Govinda: That it is not the same.
Maitreya: No, it is the same. Well yes, if you are talking about God as the Creator, he did not create the universe. That is true, we are not the same, but we have the same qualities of God. The quality of God is compassion, love, understanding, depth, unity, seeing everything is God.
In that Essence we have the qualities of God to manifest through ourselves. That is why it is funny some people say, “I am god,” but their life is completely messed up. They have no love and compassion. They do not understand that God is Everything. They are full of impurities, but at the same time, because they heard that God is Everything, they say, “I am God.”
That is when you start thinking, “Umm… how can you be God if you still have so many problems in life and in your understanding of God.” [reading text]
Govinda [text]: What did you think I meant?
Maitreya: Well, it just did not make sense. It was too short of a sentence, and it did not sound like what you were trying to say. So I was wondering what you meant, but after you explained it, yes, that is true.
We have the qualities of God and we can manifest the qualities of God. That is when you become god. That is what … yes, your Essence is God, but your Essence also is impure. If your Essence is impure, therefore you cannot say, “I am God.” You can say, “I can have the qualities of God. I can progress and become a part of God.” [reading text] But that is OK, do not worry about it. It is not a big deal.
Therefore you purify yourself, and eventually you manifest those qualities and therefore you become One. But how many people are manifesting those qualities? How many people are compassionate? Love God and know God is Everything?
So apparently nobody answered that question. The question still is, how can we make the whole world love God with all their heart, mind, and spirit? Apparently we cannot. That is why the last 12,000 years that this Revelation has been sent to humanity, and now it is the conclusion of this Revelation. And after 12,000 years, now God says, You Elects come and join this Revelation, and let us bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
And a lot of people are not going to make it, because they are so stubborn in loving their own opinions and ideas, instead of loving God with all their heart and His Words with all their hearts, minds, and become like a sponge and soak in this new Revelation and say, “Yes, I want this, nothing else but God in my life and in my being.”
Therefore you can see, we are looking for these Elects. [reading text]
Comment [text]: They love people and their dogs more than loving God.
Maitreya: Yes, that is true. Their dogs and friends are more important than God, yes. All are obstacles.
If you cannot love God with all your heart, mind, and spirit, … that does not mean that you do not love your dog or you do not like your pet. You love your pet because it is a part of God. You do not just love your pet because of the pet’s sake, but you love your pet because it is a part of God.
So we can see that you love your pets because they are a part of God. You see the Essence of God in your pets also because God is Everything. So we can see that we have to forgo all those things that pull us away from realizing God and forgetting what we know but what God has said. [reading text]
Comment [text]: If you love with knowledge.
Maitreya: Yes, you can love with the knowledge also if when you become a Jnana Yogi, you become knowing God through knowledge. It is harder than Bhakti, because in the way of loving God with all your heart, mind, and spirit, if you really can do it. Not everybody can do that. That is a very hard thing to do, loving God with all your heart, mind, and spirit. You really have to go out on the limb in order to completely become a Bhakti Yogi because you just have to forget about everything else. [reading text]
Comment [text]: I mean, love people with knowledge because they are a part of God.
Maitreya: Yes, exactly. You have to love your partner, your wife, your children. You have to love your family. You have to love people, your neighbor, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” But recognize that they are a part of God. That is why you love them.
It is not because you love them for themselves, but you love them because they are a part of God. You love God in them, and you try to make them also to become Godly. You do not love them for themselves, because the moment you love them for themselves, then they are an obstacle in your way to go to God. They become people who are in your way to go to God, because then you love them and you do not love God in them.
If you love God in them, then you love them as God loves them, and you try to help them, to guide them, to talk to them, to see them, how pretty they are. [reading text]
Comment [text]: You are very clever.
Maitreya: I am not very clever [smiles]. God is the most clever, and when He comes through, He is the most clever being in the universe and He is the truth. If we teach humanity to see God in everything, and everywhere, and everyone, and they overcome these attachments by seeing God in everything, therefore they will love God with all their hearts, minds, and spirits, won’t they?
If they can see God in everything, they see Him in their family, they see Him in their husbands and wives, and therefore they continue living the way we are living now but we can bring God in every aspect in our lives because then God is always there.
No matter what we do, no matter … we dance with God all the time, because we realize that is what we love about the people. I do not love my wife because she is my wife and all that. I love her because God within her is what I should love.
I do not like my child because it is my child that I love him or her but because they are a part of God. And they should do the same thing. They should love me not because I am a person and they are attached to, but because God is within me, and they would love that God within me and we will dance together in God’s universe, and the music of Krishna is the flute of the universe.
If everybody can like that, if everybody can meditate and teach the children in our schools to start thinking like that… [reading text]
Comment [text]: One-pointedness, the state of perfect concentration toward the goal of life.
Maitreya: Exactly. The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine.
Haree Om Shrii Hung, Om Nam Kevalam. The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine.
Om Nam Kevalam. God is Everything.
If we just understand that mantra, if we meditate on Haree Om Shrii Hung and realize the depth of it, you will receive salvation, you will reach God.
The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine. [reading text]
Question [test]: Is that Sanskrit?
Maitreya: Yes, it is Sanskrit. “Haree Om” means the respectful Om, the original sound in the universe. “Shrii Hung” means the respectful energy of “Hung.” “Hung” is the sound, the essence of the sound in the kundalini. So, if you meditate on “Hung,” in any sound you say “Hung,” you are really hitting the kundalini to wake up.
So, Haree Om … that God really doesn’t have any name, is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal is FINE, Formless, Invisible, Nameless and Eternal, Shrii Hung. It is the Essence of man. Haree Om Shrii Hung is the Essence of man. The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine, to become God.
Om Nam, that Essence, Kevalam is Everything. If we realize that, if we realize that our Essence and God are One and God is Everything, then we can always see God in every aspect in our lives, in the people we deal with. And of course, if the people become an obstacle in our way to God, what are we going to do? [reading text]
Question [text]: How many followers do you have at the moment?
Maitreya: Just the people in the room. No, I am just kidding [smiles]. Well, I do not know how many followers I have. I just say the truth and leave them to God. It is the truth that they should hear, every man, woman, and child on this earth have to hear these words and this Revelation at least once. [quickly reading text]
So we can see that I am not attached to it at all. God gave me this knowledge, the Revelation, and the truth, and now I am trying to unify the Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, Moslems, Baha’is, and everybody else together. [reading text]
VBreezo [text]: You can count me in.
Maitreya: Alright VBreezo. We got one extra person coming to the Mission. Welcome VBreezo to the Mission of Maitreya and being with us. We love to have you and also everybody else coming in. You are all welcome. Of course, you are all in. There is no one on the earth who is not in.
This is the last Revelation of God and I have come to humanity, and anybody who thinks they are not in this Teaching and Revelation is just like believing that they are not a part of God. It is impossible. How can you not be a part of God? God is everything.
So if you believe that you are not a part of the Mission of Maitreya, you are in delusion. Of course, the next step after you believe you are a part of the Mission of Maitreya, it is up to you if you want in even a greater degree to involve yourself in the Mission to become a Contact person, to become a person who wants to create Communities of Light, come to the Albuquerque area and join here, and all that.
The next step is the dedication to spreading these words to everybody on earth and helping humanity to heal themselves. That is why we are here. We are here to heal humanity. Humanity is sick. The body is sick. The idea to tell humanity, You do not have to, if you bring God to your life, you can still have a wife, husband, child, pets, car, home, anything you want, but realize they are a part of God, realize that you have to at least share a little bit of your Blessings and sacrifice a little bit so we bring a greater degree, and also we teach to reach space. If humanity reaches space, there are infinite resources even in space.
You do not have to fight with each other for a little oil or resources here and there on earth. There are resources all over the universe. And they can all have a higher level of a standard of living without being so destructive to each other. [reading text]
Question [text]: What are the main rules for Maitreya’s religion?
Maitreya: The main rule is the Eternal Divine Path. That is explained in the website www.maitreya.org (I do not know if you know about it or not). It is a five-step Path.
The first step is the awakening of your spiritual forces, which covers Hinduism, Buddhism, and all the Mystical Paths and makes you to realize that your essence and God’s Essence are One. And therefore, as I was just explaining to you, God is Everything.
The second step is to create the Communities of Light. [reading text]
Question [text]: What do you have to give up? Sinful activities?
Maitreya [laughs]: OK, you do not have to give up. You have to reach a point where you do not have to any desire to do those sinful activities. “Giving up” means you are being forced, doing something that you want to do, but you do not do it because you are afraid to do it.
That is the old way of being. That is the way they did it at the time of the Kali, … “You have to follow these rules.” If you do not follow, you go to hell. And you go to hell, but you are in hell here and now, in this moment.
If you do sinful things, your mind is not going to be clear, you are not going to be completely flowing with the universe, you are not going to feel the joy of God. You are going to be miserable and you are in hell. That is what the hell is. It is not a place up there someplace, and it is hot, they put you there, and you burn up. It is here and now.
If you want to say something, you can raise your hand, come up, and ask questions or whatever you want. But you also can type in text.
So, the idea is, you bring God so much in your life that you do not have any room left for simple things.
OK, go ahead Crazy, you just came in the room and I do not know what is on your mind, but go ahead. [music playing, no question]
O…K… That is rude that you would do something like that. You think it is “cool” or it is something that people would enjoy. But that is absolutely a sign of immaturity. A mature person would never do that, and that means that you really have many lifetimes to meditate, Crazy, to reach a point where you realize that you should be respectful and in a greater degree not be so immature.
It was not “cool” at all, if you think so, it was not. That is a very immature way of being. If you really want to be happy, find God within yourself, meditate, and realize that if you are respectful to people, you will have a much better life and happiness than you have at this moment.
So we can see that we have to reach people like that. We have to make them mature. We have to make these people realize that what they do affects them and affects other people. Probably each person has learned it from another person. Another person says, If you do this, it is “cool,” that is a good thing to do.
That is why he does not even realize that what he is doing is not good, because he was taught not to be mature, not to be good, not to be respectful to other people and learn, instead of doing what he just did.
This is the teaching that we have to teach the whole humanity. That is our responsibility, to bring up our children grateful, good, productive, Godly, and learn to respect one another and therefore, they become much happier people because they bring a greater degree of happiness to other people.
So we can see that our Teaching really helps humanity to heal themselves. This is a sickness, this society. It is sick behavior that the person who has done it has no idea. [reading text]
Question [text]: Very nice room. What is this room for? Is it about Krishna, devotees?
Maitreya: Sure, well, Krishna was an avatar, a great teacher, who came to this world for a reason. [Crazy raises his hand again in the room]
I am not going to give you the mic, Crazy, after you did that. You know that. So you can probably put your hand down and if you keep your hand up, we have no choice but to bounce you, if you do not follow. Thank you. So, if you want to stay in this room, you can keep your hand down.
Krishna was teaching the first step, awakening of the spiritual forces. They also prophesied the coming of this Revelation and Teaching, and that is, of course, the Kalki avatar. The Kalki Avatar is the awakening Messiah or the Teacher in the Hindu religion, and that is also fulfilled.
The Kali Yuga was finished in 1900. Again even Hindus are waiting for the coming of this Revelation, and if you are the follower of Krishna, you have to realize that Krishna’s dispensation and all the other religions are finished. This is the last one. If you want to be on the correct bandwagon and correct Revelation, this is It. [reading text]
Question [text]: How did you come from the sky and heal the simple people?
Maitreya: That is also what a lot of people believe, like Christians, that Christ is going to come from the sky and he is going to say, “Kingdom come,” and it is going to come tomorrow. That is not going to happen. It did not happen in the past. In history we have never seen anything like that happen. [reading text]
Comment [text]: In the last 25,000 years it has been proven that Krishna can change minds if he wants to.
Maitreya [smile]: That is another thing that you can see in many religions, for instance, Buddhists. Some people in Buddhism believe that Maitreya is going to come in 2,500 years after Buddha. Some people believe 5,000. Some people believe 7,000; some people 30,000. Some people say, No, it is around 750,000 years. These are manmade, they all come from what people think it should be, and again we are talking about it.
They are opinions, they are ideas. It is something they think should happen and have talked about it. Then somebody stretched their imagination and added a couple of years here and a couple of years there, and after a while it became something that is not the Word of God.
The Word of God clearly says that after the Seventh Angel comes, after the Revelation of the Seven Seals, the Kingdom of God will come to the earth. So, the only place in the Scriptures that the Word of God has been on earth and followed by millions of people is in the New Testament in The Revelation which clearly says how things are going to happen.
There is nothing about that somebody is going to come from the sky and gets caught into the clouds, his followers are going to go up there with him and everybody else is going to be down here, and eventually they are going to be in the kingdom and not anybody else.
It has never happened in the history. It is not Scriptural. It is not the Word of God, it is man-made, it is dogma, it is different religions believing in something which are not God’s Words.
God’s Words clearly say that the Seventh Angel brings the truth and reveals the whole reality to humanity, but of course, as we said, humans do not want to listen because they did not want to listen to God in the beginning. In the Garden, they did not listen. When Krishna came, they did not listen. Buddha came, and they did not listen. They changed his words.
They said, “Buddha said there is no God.” He never said that. He said, Just forget about these little gods that Hinduism is teaching you and taking you away from the Essence of yourself. So these kinds of things are all based on human understanding.
If you want to see exactly what God wants to be done, go to the New Testament and read The Revelation. It clearly says how it is going to happen. Actually it clearly says that if God did not intervene, even the Son of God would have been destroyed and His Teaching would have been destroyed. But because God intervened, … [reading text]
Comment: My father always said that God is everywhere, is this true?
Maitreya: Not only is he correct, Fadrou, but God also is everything. [reading text]
Fadrou: I am Buddhist, is it bad to believe in God?
Maitreya: That is what we were talking about. Even in Buddhism, there are branches in Buddhism that believe in God. And that is not the truth. Go ahead, Fadrou.
Fadrou: So God is everywhere?
Maitreya: Yes, not only is He everywhere, but He is also everything. There is nothing in this universe which is not God.
OK, let us imagine, God wants to create this universe. Where is there besides God when He decided to create the universe? There is nothing else. Everything is there, the only material He has is Himself. He cannot just go to the 7-Eleven or a store a couple of blocks from here, buy the material, and make the things He wanted to make.
So He had to use His own Body, His own consciousness, and the three creative forces to create the whole universe. There is nothing there that is not God. But of course, there are different levels of consciousness. That is why they came to us so , but in essence, there are only four elements in the whole universe and it has been created from them. Go ahead, Fadrou.
Fadrou: Do you believe in Buddhism?
Maitreya: Well, we believe Buddha was a Prophet from God, the Messiah. He came to purify the Hindu religion, because Hindus believed in so many gods and Brahmins had become so powerful that to the Hindus, they become a burden on people instead of becoming a joy. Therefore he came and he brought the purification to Hinduism, and it eventually became a religion by itself. Because the Hindus did not want to give up their gods, Buddhism became a religion by itself. [reading text]
Govinda: Buddha is God, but Buddhists do not believe in God. Do they believe in the devil, or what?
Maitreya [laughs]: That is a good one. “Buddha is not God, so God does not exist,” so that is a very good one, Govinda. If there is no God, how can Buddha be God? Of course, all the Messiahs are the Spirit of God on earth, so what they believe has some truth in it. But, of course, God is a Spirit. Go ahead, Fadrou.
Fadrou: I just want to say, thank you for your time.
Maitreya: You are very welcome, Fadrou. That is so nice, having such a mature and nice person come to our room and to be so wonderful. It really makes up for the other people who come here and they are not very mature and act very immaturely.
That is great, Fadrou. Go to our website, I hope, and read about our Teaching, and realize … and all of you. If you are Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Moslem, Jewish, whatever, this is the newest Revelation of God and it makes sense. It purifies you and heals you, and it brings unity and understanding to you. It makes your life more flowing. You really do not have to change too much, unless, of course, you really want to and come here and completely purify yourself and dedicate yourself to God.
But really if you can see that everything is God, then you can live the life you are living, but bring God into every level of your life and see God in every person around you and in your life, and help them to go to God while you are going to God yourself. But if they became an obstacle in your way, of course, you should go to God instead of letting them become an obstacle in the Path.
So there is no longer a Buddhist, a Hindu, or a Christian or Jew or Moslem or Baha’i, but Divines. They are the followers of the Eternal Divine Path. When you follow the Eternal Divine Path, you become a Divine, and that is the goal.
The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) a Divine, or follow the Eternal Divine Path. The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine. That is what our followers are called, they are called “Divines.” [reading text]
Govinda [text]: Thank you for the dialog, very informative, bye.
Maitreya: Alright, Govinda. I hope you go and realize our Teaching, and that is the truth of the matter. This Revelation really brings the last religion to humanity, and no longer those who have other religions will be able to follow them. As other religions came and took over a part of the earth, this time it has come for every man, woman, and child to recognize and realize this, overcome being separated from each other, and see God in everything and everywhere, and therefore come together and be(come) One.
But of course, as we were talking about, not everyone will. Human ego is very strong and powerful, and their like their opinions and ideas, and they do not want to listen to God. Therefore we will see that those who have been progressing for the last 12,000 years will be called and they will come forward.
Those who are attached to their religion, past, the little knowledge of things on this earth that they hang onto, will not progress.
So, we have a very interesting Path on our hands to make humans to see this truth clearly and make them see God’s Plan and to realize that their religion, no matter how wonderful it is, what beautiful words it has brought to them or how much joy it created and no matter how long in history it has been on earth, now is the time to put the old religions away and come to a new wine in a new skin.
That is the Teaching of the Mission and our Revelation. It is a new wine. You cannot put it in the old skin. You cannot say that our Teaching is a Buddhist teaching. You cannot say it is a Hindu teaching, or Judaism, or Christianity, or Moslem, or Baha’i.
It is all of them, that is what we are. And of course, it is based on the Scriptures and the Word of God, and the prophecies and fulfillment that all of them will make every person obligated to go to study and realize God. Those who will not do it, of course, you cannot help them at all. Those who do not want to listen to God, even God cannot help you. Well, he did not help Adam and Eve. He could have. He could have said, OK, I can help you. You want to eat of the knowledge of good and evil, and I will help you that you will not.
But He did not say that. What did He do with them? He threw them out of the Garden of Eden to a place that they have to till the ground and completely lose the Grace of God. So we can see, if you do not want to listen, even God cannot help you. His action says that. Really, the first step is going to be taken by you.
You say, “No, I want to empty my cup. I want to say, ‘My cup is empty. I am like a sponge. I love this Teaching, this makes sense, it is based on the Word of God and has the fulfillment of the prophecies, I had better just give up. I want, instead of being understood, to understand God.” [some Internet connection problems]
OK, welcome all to the Mission of Maitreya, Eternal Divine Path. We again are here discussing the Revelation of God, the last Revelation that has come to humanity. It explains how all religions of the world are from One God for one humanity, and how He has prophesied that He would send seven religions, and now He has sent the last Revelation and explains how these seven religions together reveal a Path, which is called the Eternal Divine Path which is the fastest path to God and also can bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE). Now we are here to convey this Message to all of you, and we ask you to go and understand the Teaching.
In our website and our Teaching, actually you are obligated and you are called to come and at least give this a chance to read and realize what this Teaching is. But you have to empty your cup. You have to say, “I really want to know God. I want to love God with all my heart, mind, and spirit.”
I hope you have a good question for us, go ahead, I Want To Know.
I Want To Know: [introduces herself but cannot understand words]
Maitreya: I only understood the last part, “I want to use myself….” If anybody else could understand what was said, let us know. Also, how old are you, I Want To Know? Oh OK. [reading text silently]
Go ahead, God Rules.
God Rules: Can you hear me? [hard to understand]
Maitreya: OK, I guess God Rules still has audio problems. No, I Want To Know, this is not a place that you can play music. We are glad that you introduced yourself, but if you want to know God, we can help you out. Otherwise, this is the room to listen to this Teaching. I do not know, but it sounds like they do not read the description of the room before they come in. Also she sounded like a little child or a young person that came to this room.
But that was expected. We knew what was going to happen if we opened the room with no guards as we used to, and this would happen only more often than we would like. But that is OK, it is a part of the things that will happen in this room.
We have ten more minutes together. So the answer to the original question again is that there are people who not going to listen. They are not going to completely empty their cup and say, “Yes, I want to be with God and they are attached to many things in life that they will not let go of.” And they are afraid to do that, because really when you want to know God, you have to go out on the limb. You have to say, “Yes, I am going to drop everything and go for it.”
That is what I did. I dropped everything and started the Mission with 10-cents in my pocket with the immigration after me as to why I was not finishing my education. It was because God was telling me, You have to start this Mission, with ten cents and without the permission to stay in a country that I was supposed to come to where I started this Mission.
And of course, we are here now. We have a Mission that is becoming stronger every day and will eventually manifest because it is God’s Will. If it is not God’s Will, I am the first person to admit it and get out of it. But it is God’s Will and it is based on His Words, His Scriptures, and the prophecies. And it makes sense.
One of the things about the Mission of Maitreya is that it just makes sense. That is what I was looking for, a religion that makes sense. If it does not make sense, I do not want it. The many religions I have studied or was in, they just did not make sense. I had to believe in something that was not logical, but this is logical.
Actually if a religion is emotional, it has lost it. If some people believe in a religion that plays on the emotions, then that religion is an emotional religion. That religion does not have the original truth, and that is actually a good way to look at which religion is correct and which religion is not correct and full of dogma. If it is emotional, if people get very angry if you do not believe exactly as they do or even criticize them or tell them that what they have is not something from God, they become emotional and that religion is not quite from God, because God is not emotional. God is logical.
Therefore, we have to see these truths that God has revealed to us through all these Scriptures and see how He has been struggling with man, and how man is struggling with God. God wants them to go back to Godhead and they want to keep their opinions and ideas and fight God, and not go to God.
So, let us all become sponges and soak in this Teaching, and also find those people who will listen. If they do not listen, just try a little bit. If still they do not want to listen, just leave them to God and go to the next person. Eventually we should have 144,000 sponges on earth that the Teaching makes sense to them.
I realized in the years that if people are ready for it, they just pick it up “just like this,” because it makes sense to them. If they are struggling, if they are holding back, if they are not completely going for it, it is just that they do not give any fruit. They are going to be taken away. If they are fighting against this Teaching, they are going to fall away. If they do not completely understand and love it when they hear it, they are just not going to be able to really continue with it.
That is what happened to myself. I just loved it. When this Revelation came, I said, “Yes, that makes sense.” How can there be One God and so many religions, a person who did not believe in God when he became a teenager? That is because the religion they gave me did not make sense, and then this Revelation came and it just made sense. It does make sense, and it is a Revelation that unifies all religions of the world and it gives us the fastest Path to God.
Some people say that you cannot unify the religions of the world. It is impossible. It is possible. [reading text]
Question [text]: God is a myth.
Maitreya: If God is not there, how come He said things, and He has done them?
I gather that probably you are an atheist. I believe even an atheist can benefit from this Revelation and our Teaching, because atheists do not believe in God because they say there is no proof of it. If you go and [silently reads something in text] … you do not have to be mean and use foul words to get your message across. You can be nice, at the same time, discuss something with other people and be able to talk about things. But then start talking about you are poor … that is again emotional. That is not a way to discuss things calmly, collectively, and you do not have the truth.
Again, when people become emotional, that means that they really do not believe in what they have been taught and therefore they just get emotional about things. Why be emotional? You do not believe in God and you say God is a myth, OK, why? I can prove it to you that God is not a myth. God promised Abraham and Abram that there are going to be two Prophets coming from them, and it happened.
God has promised many things that you can read in THOTH and it has happened. If you go and read our Teaching and understand that God said He is going to do things, and He does them and fulfills them, if you are a logical person, don’t you think that God exists? Even if you look at the evolution, if you believe that evolution is by chance, there is a Logic behind it. If there is a Logic behind it, then it is more improbable that everything happened by chance. The way it happened, it is impossible that evolution happened by chance! If you are logical, you will say, “Yes, it is impossible.” Evolution had to have a Director, OK?
So we all have to recognize and realize these wonderful things, and see at the same time that this world is full of dogmas and emotional people who are not very logical. But God said His Kingdom will come, and that is our salvation. That is what we have to hold onto very fast, and know that God eventually will bring His Kingdom on earth, and He will.
PS [text]: If God exists, how come He does not believe in God?
Maitreya: Well, that is a good question, actually. I like the story that the Hindus tell, that only God knows where He came from, or maybe He even does not know it Himself. Or if we go that far, we can say that, Well, maybe God even believed there is another God for a while in the universe, and eventually He realized, no He is the only God.
These are all intellectual discussions. They are something the intellect, brain, and mind wants to decipher. It is just like, “Prove to me God exists,” or “Explain God.” These are all the questions from the human mind, human intellect. That is why we have said many times, God is not explainable. God is experienced.
We recommend to you, PS, to start meditating. Just meditate and go deeper within yourself, and eventually experience the Essence in you which is the same as God, and then you will not have these questions any more. [reading text]
PS [text]: Why do we insist on giving God human attributes?
Maitreya: Exactly. That is the human mind. That is what we were talking about, the human mind likes to love their own ideas and opinions, and they do not want to believe in something that is beyond their own understanding and intellect. And that is beyond the understanding and intellect of the human.
That is why they come up with these ideas. That is what that “little book” is in The Revelation. It sounds good, it tastes good, but when it goes to your stomach, it is bitter and life becomes miserable because …. [reading text]
PS [text]: The intellect has the ability to reach a point, after that point there is nothing that you can recognize, even God too.
Maitreya: It is true that human intellect can go so far (reach a point). Beyond that point, it cannot go. That is where intuition and experience come in. If you intuitively KNOW that God exists, then He does (for you at least). If you experience God, then It/He/She will surely exist. Neither of these approaches has anything to do with the intellect. Intellect cannot go there!
PS [text]: If we cannot understand God, then why would the experience prove it to us? We cannot understand God, only experience It.
Maitreya: Exactly. It is something that many people have experienced It all through history, people who have come to us and said, “Yes, God exists! Infinity exists. Eternity exists.” How do you explain eternity?
OK, let me see. We have a universe they have estimated to be 16 billion years old. What is beyond that? OK, go 16 billion years, billion light years, and go to the end of the universe, what is after that? Whatever it is … , it is infinite. What is infinity? You cannot explain the infinity. It is impossible for the mind to explain infinity or eternity. [reading text]
Comment [text]: You can prove that God created man but I can prove that man created God.
Maitreya: Well, yes, many men have created God. They have created religion. We agree with you. Many religions were created by the mind of man, that is what we have been discussing for the last 1.5 hours here. Yes, man creates things and they love their own ideas, OK? But that does not make the real God non-existent. The real God also said that He is going to create the history and He did. Therefore He exists. Go, read our Teaching, understand it, and then come here and we can discuss it in a deeper level, but our Teaching will help you to understand God exists because He said He was going to do things, and He did them. [reading text]
Tina [text]: I have a question. Where are all the Catholics?
Maitreya: Well Tina, you probably have to go to find a room that is designed for Catholics and probably we recommend you to tell them that there is a new Revelation and they all should come to this room and recognize and realize that God has sent the Catholic religion as a part of a greater truth, and their salvation depends on understanding this Teaching.
Alright, I guess our time is up. We have been here for 1.5 hours, more than 1.5 hours, and I do not see any pressing questions here. The only question probably here was that God does not exist and I answered that. Go and read our Teaching, see that God said He was going to do … You cannot explain God, you cannot explain infinity, you cannot explain eternity. They are all experienced, and when you experience it, you know that they are the truth.
But intellectually, if God said He was going to do these things and He has done them, therefore He does exist so intellectually you can conclude that way. But if you really want to know that God exists, that is that God is an experience that you can obtain through meditation, purification, and realization.
OK, I leave all of you to God again for a week. You all be well and Godly, and meditate on these Words. We will not have these sessions put on PalTalk anymore. Therefore you have to listen to them from now on and learn them here and now. [reading text]
PS [text]: You cannot explain God just because God does not exist.
Maitreya: OK, well, I am not going to fight with you, PS, if you believe that, keep your belief and live well. But that is not the truth. If you want to know if God exists, go ahead and read our Teaching.
Tina, if you want to know about Catholics, OK, I will give you a chance to see what you have to say. Go ahead, Tina. [tape ends there]
