Conversations with Maitreya
10/11/2003
Maitreya: Good morning everybody. Welcome to the Mission of Maitreya Conversation Room. As usual, we will be here for an hour and a half, and we will discuss the Mission of Maitreya and this Revelation. Also welcome to the Feast of Tabernacles. We are in the middle of the yearly Feast of Tabernacles when we come together every year and celebrate one of the Holiest Days that God commanded that humanity follow.
Usually it is a joyful occasion for the Mission of Maitreya’s members. We come together, we meditate, we chant, we dance, we eat together, we spend time to renew our relationships and become more familiar with the Mission. There are a lot of lectures going on and many different Divines give lectures on different topics.
If you are interested to know when the times of the lectures are, or you would like to hear other parts of our schedules and what we do, you can go to our website and on the first page there is an announcement about the Feast of Tabernacles. You can go and see the list of the lectures and also know when other activities will be conducted.
In these eight days that we come together, and of course, if you decided to come and join us next year, we will be closer here to everybody to meet the members and also feel the Spirit of God that is greatest in these eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles.
Actually the Feast of Tabernacles was the Feast that the Hebrews were waiting for the Messiah to come. Usually God pours His Spirit in this occasion in a greater degree. So, not only are we having this conversation today, this is a joyful occasion also for all our members.
You are welcome to the Conversation Room of the Mission of Maitreya. We usually spend two hours when we talk to each other about the Mission, this is the Revelation that has unified all religions of the world, opened the Seven Seals, and has revealed the Book which was Sealed with the Seven Seals. That is the beginning of the end of the period in the Scriptures that the Kingdom of God is coming to humanity.
The Golden Age is fast approaching, and humans who have been waiting for this great Revelation to come, can come and now know what was in the Book which was Sealed with the Seven Seals. They can recognize and realize the Words of God and the Creator, the Spirit that is everything, and is beyond.
We can recognize and realize that we are One. We all have within the Essence of God, and we all can follow the Eternal Divine Path which is revealed in this Book. By following the Eternal Divine Path, we all can become united and recognize and realize that each religion has been revealed as a part of a greater truth, and when you put all these truths together, a Path, a Way is revealed to humanity as the fastest way to negate the ego which is the only problem for the human and stands between man and God.
The ego is that identification, the realization that we are not what we identify ourselves with our egos but we are a part of the Essence of the universe. The Essence of the universe is free from any identification or separation from any other part. Therefore, that is the first step in human progress toward the unification with God and that is to realize that we are a part of the Essence of the universe, which is God.
Therefore, by understanding this we awaken our spiritual forces, we realize that we are here, not to get attached to this world because this world is temporary. It never, ever will give you the satisfaction because whatever is temporary, changes all the time. Of course, the human hangs onto this external, ever-changing universe, this manifestation, and they want to make it stay unchanging and constant forever. And it does not work! It just will not work.
The more they hang onto it, the more they are attached to it, the more they want to keep everything the way they are, the more they will become dissatisfied, the more they will realize that things change. And as they change, they become very unhappy because they have not really learned not to be attached to it but to be detached from it and be able to accept the situation of the creation as it is.
They cannot see the reality of the world as it is. They want to change it the way they want this reality to be, and that does not work. Because it does not work, they become dissatisfied, unhappy, and depressed, and they want to control. They want to control something that is uncontrollable. They want to have the permeance in something that is not permanent, which is impermanent and ever-changing.
When humans realize that and accept that is the nature of the universe, that is the nature of creation, then they will look for something permanent, and the only thing that is permanent is that Essence.
That is what we are, so they become more honest with themselves. When they become honest with themselves, then they realize that they have to accept the situation as it is. Then they reach a point that they accept, “Yes, that is the nature of life. That is the nature of this creation and external world.”
Therefore, we have to accept change, and impermanency is a part of the universe. We have to forgo being attached to this universe, create an environment where we all understand it and cope up with the changes in the Community, which are called the Communities of Light, and by doing that, of course, we can dance in the change together to help one another and make the transition of this coming of the change very acceptable and less disappointing.
That is because all the people in the Community understand these truths and in understanding these truths and knowing ourselves, we become brothers and sisters and accept one another as we are and also progress at the same time. We create the Community that is based on the Spirit and Daharma or innate nature of every member, and the nature of the mind and the nature of the universe and the nature of the creation.
Therefore we will have an environment that takes care of our physiological and safety needs. The rest is to meditate, awaken our spiritual forces, and create an environment where everybody can progress physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Of course, creation of the Communities of Light is the message of the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, God is trying to choose a people who will accept Him as the King and His Laws as the Laws, the spiritual Laws as the Laws of Daharma, or nature. As we have said, the innate nature of each person and the community, and the earth and the universe. And by doing this, of course, we will create an environment where people will progress in a greater degree.
So the first step in the Eternal Divine Path or the First Seal is awakening of the spiritual forces, knowing yourself, knowing the nature of the universe, knowing the plan of creation to bring everybody back to the Godhead. So that first step is called the Mystical Paths and that covers all the Paths that teach to know thyself. There is only One God and that God is a Spirit, that God is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal. He is FINE, Formless, Invisible, Nameless and Eternal.
Anything that has taste, shape, or is visible or has material feeling in it, is not God. It is not the Ultimate. Do not get attached to it. It is not permanent. It is temporary. Anything that appeals to your senses is temporary, therefore you cannot rely on it. Go for the permanent.
Permanency, of course, is the Essence of the universe, and in going toward that Essence, you also want to take everybody with you.
The next step is to create the Communities of Light. The Communities of Light are based on the Eternal Divine Path, and that Eternal Divine Path is the Revelation or the Message of the Mission of Maitreya that has been given to every human, man, woman, and children to know that in order to bring peace and unity and accelerate human progress to the highest, is this Eternal Divine Path.
So the First Seal is awakening the spiritual forces.
The Second Seal is, you want to create an environment where we can progress ourselves and also everybody else also progresses. In these communities, ego has to go, and that is the way to create Communities of Light. If we keep our ego, we cannot create Communities of Light and the Communities of Light will not appeal to our ego as much because the Community of Light will not tolerate the disturbance in the environment that we want to bring peace and unity and beauty to it.
So the second step is the message of the Old Testament. In the whole Old Testament, the message is that God was trying to find a people who are the Chosen, the people who will bring that environment to them.
Go ahead Shirin.
Shirin: Sal-Om Maitreya and everyone. When you were talking just now about the Essence of creation and the purpose of creation, it reminded me of the dialog we had in the PalTalk room earlier this week. I am referring to, of course, The Essence in THOTH, in Tablet 10, verse 5. It says: “Therefore, the process of creation is based on compassion, and the purpose of creation is to bring all lost Souls to Pure Consciousness.”
We were speculating in the room and talking about if we were to, here in our progress of walking the Eternal Divine Path, free ourselves to compassion, would we then be in harmony or in Dharma with the nature of the universe? That is my question.
Maitreya: Sure. First of all, we have to come to the same understanding of what “compassion” means. Compassion is different than love. Why don’t we say that the Essence of creation is based on love, not compassion?
Love denotes the feeling of, we want to love someone unconditionally and we are absolutely taken with that feeling of love. So we usually forgive any shortcomings in our lover, in this case, the Essence or God has and also we do not try to help them to come to Pure Consciousness. So there is kind of an acceptance in that relationship.
Then, of course, “compassion” means corrective love. It means love with the ability to help our lover or the person we love also to progress with us. So that is what God has.
God has love, of course, but also God has compassion. He created this universe with compassion because, as you remember, in the beginning there was chaos. The whole universe went out of balance and created the darkness, and “the darkness was upon the deep,” and the creation was in that state of chaos.
God decided that, that darkness has to go. Darkness has to go back. It is just like a diseased part of the Body of God that God wanted to heal it and bring it back to harmony. So He created the whole universe, He sent His Spirit into that darkness.
He did not have to. He was in Pure Consciousness and absolute Bliss Himself as He had to come out, go to that darkness, walk the Eternal Divine Path and remember how it is and how He can help others to go back to the balance.
Therefore, that first step needed real compassion to do that, that real feeling of wanting to help this part to progress back to God. Therefore we can see that the first step is to help them, correct them, and bring them back to realizing that their ego is the problem, the “I” that separates man from the rest of the universe is the problem.
Therefore He created the whole thing, and the whole thing started with that feeling of “corrective love.” Of course, some people call it “tough love.” You can say that, but of course, compassion is more than tough love. It is the absolute love for the lost Souls that you want to help to go back to God, the Godhead and remember where they came from.
They are not separated egos from each other, and they are not here to disturb one another and be attached to this temporary world. They are here to recognize the permanency of God and go on with it. Therefore we can see that, that is why God created the universe with compassion and we can create compassion ourselves.
Yes, actually, we are in harmony with God’s Will, because then you realize and recognize that this external world is temporary, that the Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine, in order to be(come) Divine, you have to follow the Eternal Divine Path. In that way you can help other people with compassion to go to God with you, and so you become actually a channel for God’s original compassion that He came to this universe to help all the unit consciousnesses to go back to the Godhead. So you become a worker, you become a channel, you become a person who is doing the Will of God.
What was the Will of God? The Will of God was to help the chaos return to equilibrium and unity with the Godhead, and therefore you become the same being or the same feeling that God had, “I have recognized that the universe is One. There is only One Universe and God is Everything. We are not separated by our egos, and I want everybody to know that. I meditate, I awaken my spiritual forces, I tell this to anybody who listens.”
I tell them, Look, God or the Universal Consciousness or whatever you want to call it, maybe to some people “God” is some old man with a long beard sitting on a throne up there somewhere, and always angry and is telling you what to do and what not to do. But God to us means a state of consciousness and the creative force in the universe. He is everything and everywhere, and permeates everything in the universe. There is not someone sitting up there but He is everything and everywhere.
So with this recognition and realization, you want everybody to know that. Because He is everything and beyond this creation, and the beginning of the universe was in equilibrium and an absolute state of Blissfulness and Oneness, and the universe wants that state to return to the state it was. And you are a part of it, and the only way to go back is to help everyone else to go with you, therefore the only way to go back is to get on with the Eternal Divine Path, to become the feeling of the original creation which was compassion.
Compassion, of course, does not mean you love someone with no conditions and you let them do whatever they want without correcting them toward this Mission and the realization that your goal of your life is to become Divine. The goal of your life is to negate your ego. The goal of the life of humanity is to recognize this unity and come back together and realize that yes, God indeed is everything and we should not separate ourselves by these separated egos.
Then you really have compassion for the whole of humanity and you will not be separated from anybody else. And that is compassion. That is the real feeling that God has for His universe.
I hope that answers your question. Of course, if you have a follow-up or you want to discuss that further or you want to disagree with me or agree with me, or bring a different way of looking at it, go ahead. And if you have any more questions, we will continue with our conversation here.
OK, go ahead Shirin.
Shirin: Well, I am certainly not going to disagree with you [laughter] but we did have quite a conversation the other day in the PalTalk room about the difference between compassion and unconditional love. Then when we sort of agreed about what compassion is and eventually could be, it then we sort of went into judgment.
How can we seek compassion in helping, the corrective love come through, to not fall into judgment?
Maitreya: Yes, well, that is when the concept of Paravipras or innocent people or those who have progressed in the path come into play. That is where the story of Christ and the adulterous woman comes in. Mary Magdalene had done adultery and the law in the Jewish community was to stone the adulterous person.
So, he was a Rabbi, he was a teacher, he was a person that everyone looked up to and they were all expecting that he would uphold the law. And they came to him and they knew he had a lot of different ideas than the regular Jewish people, and probably they even wanted to trap him, he would say something and then they would accuse him, “Oh you said something against the law.” He clearly told them, go ahead. If you want to do it, I am not going to stop you. But the person who has no guilt and no sin, throw the first stone.
Again, only the innocent person who has overcome himself or herself, can judge. If you have not overcome yet, if you are not pure enough, if you are not a person who he or she has overcome himself or herself, how can you judge other people when we are guilty ourselves of even the slightest sin?
So that is why they say that only person who can judge is God, because He is innocent. And of course, we are in the process of creating Godly people. We are in the process that people will not sin, not because their hand is going to be cut off and they will not sin because they are going to be stoned, they are not going to be adulterous because they are afraid somebody is going to stone them, or somebody is going to judge them, but they are not going to do those things because God said not to do them and because they want to purify themselves.
As we create more people who will create those characters of not sinning because they want to understand that any action they do which is not according to the Laws of the universe will create a burden or a karma and will cut them off from the Grace.
If you experience Grace once, you will do anything to stay in the Grace. And when you want to stay in the Grace, you will not sin. You will not do something that will cut you off. That is exactly what happened to Adam and Eve.
They came to the garden, they were in the garden, they were living in the Grace, but they did something that God said not to do. And they did it, and they cut themselves from the Grace.
So, the understanding that is now in this era not to cut the hand of a thief, it is not to judge them harshly, but to teach them, “Look, if you sin, if you do something that is not according to the Laws, you will be cut from God’s Grace. You will be cut from His Spirit.”
So if you are a person who reached a point that you have no sin, then you can sit in the seat of judgment and say, “Yes, I know what sin is, and now you have seen that I am sinless and I can judge you.” Therefore, you have the ability to judge because you have reached a point of the purity and innocence, and you will let the Spirit of God come through and your judgment is not based on harshness, it is not based on ego, it is not based on your understanding, but it is based on a deeper level.
So the only people who can judge are those who have reached that state of absolute innocence. That is why the laws of Moses and the laws of Prophet Muhammad are not working for humanity because the people who are judging are the people, according to these laws, that are not pure themselves.
How can they judge and stone a woman who is probably in a very bad social situation, and they financially probably have needs and the society is not helping them, and their physiological and safety needs are not being taken care of, they are not educated, they are not taught the base of the religion and understanding of God? Then suddenly they do something that the Koran or Moses said you have to follow. They did not consider the whole situation of what happened to that person.
But first of all we have to create a just society. We have to create a society where people are educated about their Daharmas and the Laws of God and their ability to realize and recognize that it is a personal thing. You have to recognize that you should not sin.
Then, of course, if somebody sins, the people who can judge them are the people who do not have sin themselves and therefore they will not judge harshly because they understand that not sinning is not easy. Man is very much under the control of their senses, and the lower the nature of a man is, the less is their ability to control their senses. Therefore, they cannot sin.
Then you can probably forgive them or somehow teach them, or guide them, but at the end if they did not listen and they are a disruption in the society and in the community, you have to let them go or at least do some actions that they might learn their lesson and turn around and start listening to God.
The only person who can judge is the innocent, Godly, and the people who have the ability to see the situation in whole. So, in order to become a judge, you have to purify yourself. If you judge sometime and you see your ego coming through, and your judgment is based on your ego, you have to stop. You have to back off and say, “Well, this is really my ego and what my ego wants, it is not what God wants, it is not what the innocent wants. Am I throwing the stones when I still have not really seen myself?”
So with realizing this, there are a lot of stories, but this is one of the most wonderful way to show, who can judge? If humanity could just recognize that story and become innocent, then we have the innocent judges and the judges who will not judge harshly. But at the same time if there is a person who is not really progressing or showing the willingness to change, and he or she continues to be a disturbance to the society or the community, they can also judge that person very harshly.
That is because they can judge and tell them, “OK, you are just not listening, you are not progressing, you created a bad environment for yourself, but you are bringing disharmony and harm to the society. Therefore we are going to judge you harshly and implement the Laws of God.”
So it is not that … compassion does not mean that you are absolutely … that is the difference between compassion and love. With love probably you say, “OK, no matter what you do, I am going to love you. Go ahead, disturb the society, disturb the community, disturb the peace, bring disunity and all the backbiting and all those things to the society or the community. I am just going to just love you, go ahead and do whatever you want.”
But compassion says, “No, I will try to do my best. I will give you all the opportunities possible for you to progress. I will guide you, teach you, and help you, and everything.” But at the end, if it is not happening and they are not getting it, then you might just say, “OK, I am out. That is it.”
There is a point that the judge can be very harsh. But in the beginning all the opportunities should be given to a person to redeem themselves and understand the Teaching and become a productive member of the society, a productive member of the Community, a harmonious part of the Community, and all that.
That is why we have to create those kinds of judges, the judges who can do all those things.
I hope that answered your question, Shirin. If there is any follow-up, go ahead and raise your hand. We have a question:
Question: How do we differentiate between compassion and sympathy?
Maitreya: OK, sympathy is the feeling of being sorry for someone, and when we are sorry for someone, we are not really seeing how they have put themselves in a situation that made their life harsh and uncomfortable, or they are in pain, or they are not in a state that we can say that they are in a good shape.
So, we create sympathy for them. Compassion is not only that we create sympathy and feel bad for them but you actively become engaged in helping them to eliminate that situation they are in. So compassion has a component of action in it. If you really want to take personal interest in the person and help them out.
But sympathy means, “Oh, I sympathize with you,” and sometimes you do not do anything about it, or you cannot do anything about it. You sympathize with somebody but even if a person who is a judge has to judge that person harshly, he might even sympathize with the other person. He might feel bad about why can’t they make it, why can’t they change? Why can’t they hear your words that you are trying to help them out with their situation?
And you try very hard not to get to the point that you judge them harshly. You sympathize with them but at the same time you have no choice at the end to make that final decision or step and judge harshly.
So compassion has an active point in it, That is why it is more important to be compassionate than love someone or sympathize with their situation. That sympathy really does not have much of an action to it, it is a very passive kind of engagement in some situations. But compassion is a more active way of feeling for other people or for the universe.
I hope that answered your question. If it doesn’t, go ahead and elaborate more on that. Of course, you always can take the mic by raising your hand and coming to the mic, and you can ask the questions you might have. Of course, these questions are more going into the “nitty-gritty” of our Teachings, which is good, and we will go through these points.
We will think about the meanings of the words and the words we use. Also, another thing we can meditate on are the words we use and the society, for example, in a conversation, someone says, “I really sympathize with you about your situation,” but it is not going to do anything. It is just a sympathy. It is a message of not really being involved, “I am just going to look at it and think sad about it, but I am not going to do anything about it.”
Or I say, “I love this situation.” It means the situation is good, it is working fine, and I love it. It is very good. There are no problems. I do not have to do anything about it, but I have compassion for the whole situation of humanity.
They are in war, destruction, there are so many factors going on with them. They are so separated from each other, and all these religions are saying different things, and now we know the Eternal Divine Path unifies them. I have so much love and compassion, corrective love for humanity, that I am willing to give up everything in my life and go and preach this unity of the religions to everyone so they can recognize and realize where we are at in the Eternal Divine Path.
If you sympathize with the whole earth, but you are not going to do anything about it, you sympathize the situation for the people in Africa but not do anything about it. But some person says, “No, I am going to do something about it. I am going to go there and help them. They will bring medicine to them, or I am a doctor and I am going to go, join them, and forget about making a lot of money here in the United States. I am just going to go there and dedicate my life to people who have many greater needs than the people who already have everything.”
So that is compassion. You might not even love them. You might even feel they seem to be dirty and down, and all that. But you feel in your Soul deeply affected with the situation that you are willing to go and help out. So, we can see the difference between them here, how the compassion, love, and sympathy is.
It is very interesting meditation, if we can meditate on those words that we use daily. What do I really mean, “Oh, I sympathize with your situation?” (I really do not want to get involved). But when you have compassion, you do not even say it. You have an action. You take charge. You take an action toward eliminating that uncomfortable situation.
But of course, the greatest way of doing all these things is to recognize that, “What is the goal of life?” The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine. The way to be(come) Divine is to follow the Eternal Divine Path.
The Eternal Divine Path is: The first step covers all the Mystical Paths, awakening of the spiritual forces, deeply meditating, understanding your attachments, desires, wants, longing, craving, hanging onto things, and fear, and all that, and then coming to that conclusion that you overcome all of those.
The second step is that you want to create the Communities of Light, the Community where people are Godly and want to follow the Eternal Divine Path. You sacrifice in this Community. Of course, the theme of the Community was in the Old Testament. The whole Old Testament is about the people that God chose to become the Chosen People and will follow His Laws.
The third level is sacrifice. That is what Christ did. Christ sacrificed himself for His ideal and that was his message.
After that, surrendering and submission was the message of Islam. That is the highest spiritual realization, and you know the Will of God and surrender and submit to it absolutely, completely, and unconditionally, and therefore you become a channel for a pure way of bringing God to everybody else. By doing that, of course, you and God become One. That is the goal of life.
The Goal of Life is to Be(come) Divine, to become One with God. That is the way to do it, to become surrendered and submissive completely to His Will.
Then you become a Universalist. You shatter all narrowness of the mind, that separateness from every part of the universe. You expand your mind, you cannot look at other people as being different than yourself. You look at them as the Essence of God. There is no separation between any religions, any people, any race, any gender, any nationality, and therefore you shatter all the narrowness of the mind.
Such a person is called an Elect, the person that God has been talking about in every religion and Scripture as My Chosen People, the Elects, the people who have been following the Eternal Divine Path in many lifetimes, and in this lifetime, they see the truth of all religions. This Revelation is the Revelation of the Seven Seals. It fulfills all the prophecies and has brought the unity of all religions.
Now it is Calling humanity to come and see how God has been sending these revelations one-by-one as the religions of the world and now He has put them all together. Not only that, but He has revealed the Eternal Divine Path to you so you can progress in an accelerated way to Pure Consciousness or back to the Godhead. You can go there because you have to follow to where everyone else goes to at the same time, to that state at the same time.
That is why we are reaching out to humanity and asking humanity to go to our website [www.maitreya.org], to read our Teachings, which are all given to you freely. There are no strings attached. You can go there, find it, read it, understand it, and then follow it.
Then, of course, you have the choice of following it individually. The moment I give this Message to you, the moment you read about the Eternal Divine Path, the moment you see this Revelation, I am done with you, we are finished with you.
It is then between you and God to see how God has been guiding humanity to this point and now it is you who decides what is the new step. Some decide, “Well, that is not good for me.” They go to the website for a couple of minutes to look at it and they say, “Yes, that is not for me.”
You can stay in that website for a year, for a lifetime and still find deeper beauty and Revelation in it and still you will progress in all levels. Therefore, being in the website for a couple of minutes and saying, “Oh, I found it not to be interesting,” and all that, it is not going to work.
OK, what is your question, Siberian Cat? Go ahead and either type, or raise your hand and come to the mic and ask your question. I hope it is about the Mission of Maitreya and the Eternal Divine Path, our Revelation, or some spiritual questions which are kosher and good, and wholesome, and will bring the energy and the things to a higher level.
If it is, go ahead and ask your question, either type it or you can come and ask your question.
Siberian Cat: Are you Jesus Christ?
Maitreya: OK [laughs]. Well, I have stigmata in my body. We believe that it is the same Spirit that brings the Revelation to humanity all through history. If you study our Teaching, it talks about the First Begotten Son of God. It was the Spirit of God which went through the Eternal Divine Path in the very beginning. So that Spirit eventually returned to God and became the Light, and that is why God said, “…and there was Light.”
And that became the first teacher. That became the Spirit that came to earth again and again after that first success in following the Eternal Divine Path. He became the First Begotten Son, the Messiah, the Spirit of God which comes to earth and brings the Revelation and the prophecies to humanity all this time.
So we can see that, that Spirit also came to Christ. Of course, if you study our Teaching again, there is no “J” in Hebrew, therefore there is no name of “Jesus” in the founding of Christianity. And of course, in Christianity you are saved by his name.
If Christians even realize that simple truth, that even they do not know what his real name is, then they would realize that their religion has really gone way, way away from the truth that Christ brought to them. So if you understand his teaching absolutely, you will understand our teaching. You will see it is a continuation of the same Revelation that God said He would send seven of them, and Christ’s teaching was the third one.
Prophet Muhammad was the fourth one, and Bab and Baha’u’llah were the fifth one. Ananda Marga or Baba was the sixth, and this is the Seventh. And this is the Seventh, and when the Seventh Angel comes, the Mystery of God will be finished.
All these Spirits are the Spirit of God. Therefore, yes, this Spirit is the same Spirit which Christ brought to humanity and therefore, again, the Mouthpiece of God has returned to humanity and is preaching this Message to man.
Of course, this time, everybody can hear us, as it has been prophesied, every man can see us, every man can hear us, all over the world. None of you are here in this room as I am giving this Satsang, but you can hear me. You can also see me in the website if you want, and there is a picture of me, and even we can put a camera here in this computer and everybody can see me at the same time.
So the prophecy of all these sayings are fulfilled. Of course, it is never that the fulfillment of the prophecies and the Message is what the humans expected. There are Jewish expectations that are expecting Christ to come and make them the Elected and Chosen Ones, and it did not happen. Then they got upset with him, crucified him, and killed him, and they were saying, He was not what we expected.
That is exactly what ego is. Ego is what we expect the life to be, what we expect things to happen according to what we expect. So we can say that their expectation was not fulfilled, it never was.
So Bab came and brought the new teaching, and Moslems did not accept him, because he was saying differently that what they expected. He was talking about Universalism and the unity of all religions, and that was not what Moslems were waiting for
Of course, every religion thinks that when the Messiah comes, He is going to make them the Chosen People, and actually Christ told the Jewish people that they are finished, they are done, the kingdom will be taken from you and given to another people. And that was not a very nice thing to say for the people who expected the Messiah to come and say, “You are the Chosen People.”
Therefore we can see that humanity’s idea of the Messiah and God and the way God works is absolutely different than how He works. But He already said in His Scriptures that there are going to be seven angels, seven revelations, seven truths that will come, and nobody has the whole truth until the Seventh Angel comes.
Then when the Seventh Angel comes, only then and only then will the whole truth be revealed to humanity. And that has happened. This Revelation is the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Revelation. Now the whole truth has come to humanity. And if the human wants to know the whole truth, that is it now. Now humanity is resisting us. Again they are saying, “No. You have to make Moslems the priority over everybody.”
Jews say, ”No, you have to follow the Torah and say what we say. We are the Chosen Ones.”
And Christians say, “No, we are the ones who have the only truth. We are the only way. You have to follow and say what we want you to say.”
Of course, Christ said, No, all of you are a part of a greater truth. You are each a part of the Seventh Revelation, and each Angel or Prophet brought you a Message and you made a religion out of it and added a lot of dogma to it, and now you think you have the truth. But that is not my truth. My truth is revealed in the Scriptures, in The Revelation. I will send Seven Truths. I will send Seven Revelations.
Question: Moslems say that the Koran is from God and replaces the Bible as the last book that God sent. What do you say about that?
Maitreya: Well, I say that the Koran was not even written down. It was orally given to Moslems, and then when Prophet Muhammad passed away, there was more than one Koran. There were many versions of the Koran that were going around and actually it was not even written and it was memorized by a bunch of people. Many of them were in a war and were killed.
That was when the Calipha or the leader of the Moslems realized that the Koran is going to be destroyed. If these people are all going to die, who is going to remember what Prophet Muhammad said? So he said, OK, let’s bring together all these verses that you all remember and put the Koran together.
It was then that they realized that there were a lot of people who had a different remembrance of what Prophet Muhammad had said. So which one is the Word of God? Is it the one that this person remembered he said it this way, or the one who said it was that way?
Therefore we can see that there was absolute interference of the human element into that revelation, and at the end, two versions came up that had a following, and those two groups actually had a big fight over which one is the correct one, and eventually the Calipha or the leader had to make a decision. And he said, OK, we will accept this one, and we will reject the other one.
By doing that, of course, because we can see how it was a decision of a human who made for that acceptance of which verses of the Koran, so we can clearly see that the Koran was absolutely affected with the human. So which one is the correct Koran?
Therefore, Moslems have to realize and recognize that their revelation was the fourth revelation, not the last revelation, not the Seventh Seal or Seventh Revelation. Even in the Koran Prophet Muhammad clearly says that he was not the last Prophet because he said he did not reveal everything but passed over a lot of it.
So if you keep asking good questions, then I have to continue talking. So, if you do not want me to get tired, ask your questions.
Question: Jesus is the English name for Yeshua.
Maitreya: I have heard that before. It is a long discussion about how his name really was Yeshua and then in the transliteration, the name was eventually changed to Jesus. But the explanation is twisting Yeshua to become Jesus which is a very hard thing to do and they never succeeded.
Besides the words Yeshua and Yahweh are given from the sacred names of God and really the true sacred name of God cannot be pronounced, cannot be uttered in the external world. That is why Hebrews argue that was taking the name of the Lord in vain, and they were actually stoned.
Therefore, the true name of God cannot be uttered and if you say Yeshua or Yahweh (Yeshua actually means “he who saves”, and Yahweh means the “son of God” because he was the son. And Yahweh was taken as the name of God but the true name of God is something that cannot be pronounced outwardly. Actually that is the name that is revealed to our members in four initiations and the Introductory Initiation.
So that explanation also is not correct and is wrong, and if you understand the true name of God, you will understand that his name never was Jesus, therefore we cannot go with that explanation at all because that is not his name.
The true name of Christ is within you. It is the vibration that can be invoked. He actually gave that name to his disciples. That is why they could heal. That is why the man came and told him, My daughter is sick, just say The Word and she will be healed, because he had such a great faith in Christ that he could just say it, he did not even have to come, just say it. Or like that man who came to Christ and said the same thing, and Christ complied and his servant was healed.
So we can see that Christ was saying The Word that people could not utter. That is why when the disciples of Christ were healing people, a man came and said, I will pay you if you give me the Word. And they did not give it to him. That shows that they did not use, “In the name of Jesus, the Father, the Son, and The Holy Ghost.” If they had said, We heal in the name of Jesus, he did not have to pay to know what The Word is because they would not tell him.
It was, of course, within them. If they knew it, but they could not utter it, they could not give it to him even if they wanted to. So he could not buy it because he could not hear it. If they had uttered it by healing using this name and that name, why did he have to pay for something that they were saying out loud?
So we can see that, that is also why Christ said, You will come to me and say, ‘I healed in your name,’ and I will say, No, you did not. It never was my name, it never was, and it never will be.
Comment: Jesus taught that he is the only way.
Maitreya: Well, every Prophet taught that they are the only way, they are the Mouthpiece of God, and no one goes to the Father but through them. Prophet Muhammad said the same thing. The Moslems say, Listen to the Prophet, whatever he says is My Words. Follow his words because I am the person behind him as saying the things that are from me. Therefore, follow them. In that moment, in that place, Prophet Muhammad was the only way, “no one goes to the Father but through him.” It is the same thing about Bab and all the Prophets.
So you have to expand your vision. You have to expand yourself beyond your religion, or your understanding, or your preacher, and go to the Scripture. In The Revelation it clearly says that there is going to be a Seventh Angel. There are going to be Seven Revelations. Of course, no one knew the meaning of it. God sealed them. When God gave the vision of the end time to Daniel, He sealed the Vision to the end time.
He sealed the Revelation of The Revelation to humanity. He absolutely kept it a secret and nobody knows what He said in chapter 10, verse 7, that God is a Mystery until the Seventh Angel comes. It means no one has the truth and understands the meaning of the Scriptures until the Revelation of the Seventh Angel comes and the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals is opened.
And nobody can open that Book but the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, which means that he is from the lineage of King David and Adam. All these things have happened and we now see the Revelation of the Seven Seals is here, the meaning of God’s Words are revealed in these Satsangs or Discourses and our Scripture, which is called, The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament.
Now it is the whole picture. The whole Revelation is given to humanity. Now if you understand our Teaching, you understand what Christ was talking about. Yes, he is the only way because all the Prophets of God are the Mouthpiece of God and are the way back to God. If you understand them, you open yourself to the revelation of the Jews, you open yourself to the revelation of the Mystical Paths, you open yourself to the revelation of Baha’i and Bab, and Baba, and of course, this Mission.
Then you can see and expand yourself and see God in everything and in everyone, and see how wonderfully God is that He has been sending all these revelations all this time, as you will free yourself from the narrowness of the mind and become a One God teacher.
Comment: Scripture also says not to believe the people who claim to be Messiah.
Maitreya: Absolutely. You should not believe anybody who claims to be the Messiah. Test the Spirit. See if they have fulfilled the prophecies. The number of prophecies that are fulfilled by this Mission is way more than ever anybody, any Prophet, or any Messiah has ever fulfilled. Then see if the person who is claiming that fulfills the prophecies, is he is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah?
Really God said, He is the only one. No one else, no guru, no teacher, no mullah, no rabbi, no father, or son. No one can open the Book but the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. That is the only person who can do it.
So God has given you absolutely all the testing you can have on this Mission, and realize and recognize that, “Oh yes. He has foretold this thing was going to happen, and it has exactly happened,” not to glorify me, but to glorify God that He has prophesied these things were going to come, and they have. And I am His Mouthpiece, and He has prophesied that this will come, and when you see that, you clearly will see that, Yes, this One is the correct One, the true One, the real One.
It is not everybody who comes and says, “I am Christ” can be chosen and accepted as Christ, but only the person who has fulfilled the prophecies, has all the credentials and backing of God’s Blessing for what He says or what He does.
Therefore, you have to go, search, knock, ask, and that is all also in our website. It is all provided for humanity to go, look, and test with the Spirit in the highest level, and then eventually utter, “Yes, it is.” Indeed, Maitreya is saying the truth. He is the Mouthpiece of God, and He is the Way and the Truth, and no one goes to the Father but through the Seven Seals and this Revelation.
Therefore you become a worker for God and His Mission, and you will tell everybody else the same thing, “I have found the Messiah. I have found the Revealer of the Seven Seals, and He who has Opened the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals.”
We are at the end time. We are in the time that God said would come and the Kingdom of God will be the rock to humanity.
So, I agree with you, absolutely. You should not believe in anybody who teaches anything but you have to understand this truth, knock, ask, and go and find the truth in a deeper level, and understand that there is no other way.
The only way is the Way of God, the Eternal Divine Path, this Revelation, the Seven Seals, and the following of it.
No matter how you do not like it or it does not appeal to your ego, or you still believe in your “little religion,” not your “little religion,” all religions are huge and beautiful and are from God, but in a greater degree the Eternal Divine Path and this Revelation is much larger than any other Revelation before it. If you recognize that, then you will expand yourself to this new reality.
So we can see that all the credentials have been given here, all the truth has been revealed, now humanity cannot say, “I did not know. I just had a part of the whole Revelation. Therefore I did not know that there is more to it than my own ‘little religion’ or my own understanding. I do not want to give up my understanding, I do not want to give up my religion, I do not want to give up my culture, I do not even want to give up my ego.”
It is the hardest thing for humanity to give up their ego. We want to hang onto our egos because that is the only reality that we know and we are afraid to let go of it. Then, of course, we suffer for it.
So again, this is the Revelation of the Unification of all religions, which is the Revelation of the Seven Seals and it is the beginning of the end time. This is the time that God said would come. It has come. It shows that God exists for sure because He said He was going to all these things and He has done them.
This is the time for His judgment. You see, God has been a compassionate God. He copes up and kept up with humanity for the last 12,000 years. He did not destroy them. He did not judge them. He guided them and sent them Prophets. He told them how they can go back to God, and He tried to make them understand. But at the end, He had to make a decision. He had to bring the judgment to the end time of completion.
Those who had progressed and reached a point of becoming familiar with this Revelation and accepting it, and seeing the Word of God in it, and will come and join and become 144,000 Elects, and millions and billions of others, will also understand these Teachings in a deeper level. They will be saved.
Those who will not and they hang onto their little religions and revelations and culture and preachers, are the people who are resisting God and they will be judged harshly.
And that is compassion. That is the Way of God. He warns you, He teaches you, He copes with you, He keeps up with you, but He also tells you, “Follow these things. I want you to progress. I want you to get rid of your ego. I want you to become a son of God. But if you do not, eventually I will make the judgment on you.”
So, God is a compassionate God. He has been guiding humanity for the last 12,000 years. He was telling them, there is an end time that is going to come. The Judgment Day will come. The time of sundering will come. He has warned humanity for 12,000 years, and now He has.
We can see that He has said that. He said there is going to be a Seventh Angel, a Seventh Revelation that will reveal the whole truth, who will unify all the religions. It has been sealed in the Visions of the great Prophets like Daniel. The Vision has been given to him, actually when he received the Vision, it was so terrible, the end time was so terrible, that he got sick for three days, and he could not feel good at all.
But God said to seal it until the end time. And we can see that the end time is approaching fast. Those who have been called for this Mission and see this truth clearly have a great responsibility to reach out to their family, to their friends, to their relatives, to their nations, to their fellow religious people and say, “Stop people, you are following just a part of the truth. You are following dogma. You are following man-made things.”
The Words of God are in THOTH, in this Revelation, and it clearly tells you that your religion is a part of the truth and no other revelation or Prophet could have given you the whole truth because it will not be revealed until the Seventh Angel comes. Even those who believe that their Prophet is the last Prophet, easily can see that in their book he said that he did not reveal everything. By recognizing and realizing this, we have to reach out. We have to tell humanity so they know what is happening here.
This is the greatest thing that has happened to humanity since the beginning of creation. Actually, this is the only time that the whole universe rejoiced, when the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals was opened and eventually the truth will be revealed to humanity.
And now it has. It has been revealed to humanity that every revelation of God is a part of the truth. Every religion has a Message, and the Message is in THOTH, The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament. The Message is in The Greatest Sign which crystallizes this Teaching and brings the truth to you in a very simple and crystallized and visualized way.
You do not have to have a statue to worship. You can replace them with The Greatest Sign and recognize and realize the Word of God in a much deeper level than anybody knew before. Actually, if you know THOTH and our Teaching, you know the truth of God better than anybody else on earth. You know it better than rabbis, you know it better than mullahs, you know it better than lamas, you know it better than anyone else who is in any religion.
Then you might be able to go help them out to recognize and realize where they fall, where their religion falls in God’s Plan, where they are at, who is the real Chosen One? Are really Jews the real Chosen Ones, or did God mean the Paravipras, the people who have gone through the first step in the Eternal Divine Path or something like that?
Do Moslems have the last word? Or do the Seven Prophets have the last word? Are the Christians the only way? Or all the Messiahs or Prophets are the only way at the time they brought their revelation? This has all been answered.
Is it the trinity or unity? Any question you have, anything that has been asked for the last 24-25 years since this Mission has started, has been answered. There is no question that has not been answered. There are probably a few questions left which would be going more into detail of the same things. But the questions are answered, and I am done with this Mission.
It has been given to humanity. I can just repeat it over and over and over while I have the breath or breathing in my chest, and just continue with it. But the truth is, the revelation, the whole truth has been given. Now is the Call for you all to go and preach this to other people.
I am done with all the people who have been Called for, and now you are the preachers and teachers that know the truth. You know a greater truth than them. Anybody out there who claims to know the truth, but they do not. That is because God said He is going to be a Mystery until this Revelation comes.
Of course, it was a Mystery to me when I was growing up, but then it was not a Mystery any more. It answered all my questions and satisfied all my longing for knowing the truth.
Now it has been given to you to satisfy yourself with it, drink of this wine which brings the ecstasy of God and knowing that you are a Chosen Person to be a part of God and His Revelation and His Work. Therefore, do your best to be the best you can in this endeavor and become a soldier of God.
Come and join and reach to humanity in a greater degree. Of course, God said He was going to do it. I am not counting on anybody. I am just counting on God that He is going to do it, because I am not the doer, you are not the doer. God is the Doer.
But become a channel of God. Become a pure channel for this Revelation and humanity.
I guess these sessions are becoming the repetition of the Teachings and a Call to the Elects to come and see that wonderful Truth.
Question: I would like to know if the Mission teaches the resurrection of Christ? Do you believe in the resurrection of Christ, and was Jesus born of a virgin?
Maitreya: OK, these are the controversial questions that really, in the final analysis, do not matter. I know probably you are a Christian and you think it is the most important thing or question.
But the most important question about Christ is, what did He teach? What did He bring to humanity? What was His message? Those things are important in the sense that it was prophesied that He would be crucified. There is no argument that he was put on the cross and was nailed on the cross, but what happened after that brings a lot of controversial revelations and ideas from different religions and groups. At the end the question is, “What did he say? What was the message? What did he do?”
The Messenger or the Christ comes to bring the message to humanity. Again, if we understand his message, then we can understand why he came.
So we can see that the most important thing is, what was his message? What did he bring to humanity? Was he resurrected, was he dead when they crucified him, was he not dead? Did it seem to them that he was dead? Or, he really was dead, and they put him in the cave and he was risen.
So what? God can do whatever He wants to do. Of course He can raise a person if he wants to. But what is the significance of it? It is because he has risen, then I am saved and I do not have to do anything? I do not have to listen to him and what his message was?
I am making the point, why did he come then? He could have just come from the sky and everybody is good, and they were good? That did not happen. The most important thing that he came to bring to humanity, we understand if we understand his message. If we understand that he brought Seven Revelations, He was the Third. He was one of them. He was not the final one.
God says in the Scriptures that we have to have the Mission and our Teaching. Some even believe that he was untouchable, therefore, being born from the shroud of Turin. Many Christians said that. Many Jews said that, as many Hindus do, and Buddhists and all that, they hang onto what they have. But God said you should let go of those things and become a true seeker and know what the Word of God is.
The Word of God is that there are Seven Revelations, Seven Angels, Seven Revealers would come, and each of them is a part of a greater revelation that will come at the end time. This is the time of sundering. This is the time of the end time.
That is when eventually the good people only will be reincarnated again and again, and we will bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE). If not in this lifetime, maybe the next, or the next after, but we will do it. We will bring the Kingdom Of God On Earth. We will bring the Golden Age. We will make humanity to recognize and realize this Teaching and God’s Way, not man’s way.
Man’s way is dogma, man’s way is narrow, man’s way is not expanded, man’s way is not based on the Words of God. The Words of God are in THOTH. They are written down. They have been typed, they have been published, they have been put on the Internet. They are free. They are given to you to go, read, understand, seek the truth, and accept them as God said would happen.
Again, go and recognize these words in a deeper level and understand that God truly exists and He will bring the Kingdom, and He will bound those who will not listen to this Truth and they will not be incarnated and there will be gnashing and darkness, and everybody should avoid that with all their heart, mind, and Spirit, and recognize this Teaching in a deeper level as much as possible.
Sal-Om everybody. See you next week.
