Conversations with Maitreya

10/25/2003

Maitreya: Good morning everybody. Welcome to the Mission of Maitreya’s Conversation Room. [sound is a little fuzzy at the beginning but then clears up.]

We will be here for an hour and half together to discuss this new Revelation 

I hope all of you have gone to our website and studied it, and have seen the truth that has been revealed to humanity and how it unifies all the religions together. And now you have come here to discuss this greatest Revelation for man, and now it is a Call to humanity to come, see, and understand the depths of this Revelation.

Now you are here to hear it, to understand it, to discuss it with me, to realize the depths of it and understand God’s Plan and God’s Way. Now you can take it to other people and reveal it to them, make them to understand that indeed, God has been sending these revelations separately, and each nation and people have a part of a greater truth.

Only when you understand where your religion falls in this greater truth, then you understand the Plan of God for you and your religion and its place in His Plan, and how you can expand yourself by understanding the meaning of other religions, overcome dogmas, and purify what God has originally given to your Prophets or Revealers. You will expand yourself in a greater degree to understand what God wants and who are the Chosen people that God has chosen to this point.

Therefore, you are able to completely overcome any misunderstanding between religions, misunderstanding between revelations, misunderstanding between Prophets, and misunderstanding God, first that He truly exists. A lot of people are having a hard time believing that God exists. Even those who are religious, they truly do not have a direct relationship with God.

If you do not have a direct relationship with God, then you have a religion, and “religion” means that you believe in a set of dogmas or believe things that have been imposed on you, and you believe those are the truth when you really have not heard anything directly from God. 

You have heard from your preachers, from your rabbis, from your mullahs, from your brahmins, gurus, or whoever tells you what God meant. But what God meant only comes through His Prophets and Messengers who have fulfilled the prophecies, and they cannot say anything but the Word of God and reveal the truth to humanity as it is.

Those who are seeking God now have the opportunity to see clearly what their religions meant by the things that have been revealed to them, where their religion falls in God’s Plan, how they can expand themselves in a greater degree to understand other religions and unify humanity and religions on earth and bring man together and create the base of the Kingdom, which are the Communities of Light. 

By creating the Communities of Light, eventually the Kingdom of God will come to earth and we will have the peace. We will have the unity. We will have what a lot of people desire but they cannot achieve because they have a part of the truth.

There is the example of the five blind men and the elephant, each man had a part of the elephant and each was adamant and absolutely believed that they had the whole elephant. That was why they were in a great fight with each other, and each claimed that they had the elephant in their hands. They had touched it, they had realized it, they had seen how large the ears are, how the legs are, how the tail is like a broom, and all that. And they were fighting with each other.

They could not come to an agreement as to what the elephant looks like. Eventually a man with the eyes came and said, “Look, you all are correct. You have a part of the truth. You have a part of the elephant. But the elephant is more. He is greater than what you have. Now, let’s put all these parts together, and I will show you what the elephant really looks like.”

Now that is exactly what the Mission of Maitreya does. That shows the whole picture, the whole truth, the Vision that has been sealed and the Prophets have been told not to reveal it to humanity. The Mission of Maitreya is the stone that hit the image in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, which destroyed the image and brought the Kingdom Of God On Earth.

That is clearly in those verses that the Kingdom Of God will come to earth, the whole earth. A lot of people say, “No,” because we are talking about the Kingdom of the whole earth, “That is the anti-Christ. God never said that such a thing is going to come.”

There are many places in the Bible and other revelations that absolutely is talking about the Kingdom Of God On Earth, and now the way to bring this Kingdom is given and is revealed to humanity how they can bring the Kingdom Of God On Earth.

The way to it is simple. Create the Communities of Light. The Communities of Light are based on the Eternal Divine Path, and the Eternal Divine Path shows how each religion is a part of this Path and when you put them all together, you see the whole picture, the whole elephant, the all the parts put together. 

In order to really recognize and be close to God, and not have a religion, not be dependent on your preacher, teacher, or guru or whoever is between you and God, is to go directly to God. Going directly to God means         awakening of your spiritual forces, meditating, contemplating, reading, understanding, serving, loving God with all your heart, mind, and spirit. That is the first step in the spiritual path in the Eternal Divine Path.

This first step, of course, covers the Mystical Paths, the paths or the religions that teach you that you are a part of God. Your Essence and God’s are One. There is no separation between you and God. You are a part of Him, and He is a part of you. You have no escape but knowing that you and God are One. 

Even the Bible says that you have been created in the image of God. What does “image” mean? It means “likeness.” You reflect exactly what God is. Therefore, by understanding this first step, you start meditating and knowing yourself. 

Of course, a lot of people say, “Knowing myself is very hard. How can I see myself? It is like a mirror wants to know what a mirror looks like.” Knowing yourself includes everything. Knowing yourself includes knowing your environment, knowing your community, knowing your earth, knowing history, knowing the economy, knowing everything that makes you as a person. You are not just one Essence to know, but you are affected in the environment that makes you up. 

So the more you know about your environment, the things in it, the more you know yourself. And that is much easier if you bring all this knowledge together and relate yourself to this and see how you, as an individual, relate to the rest of the environment you live in. So that should make it easier for a person to know self, because self is not something separated from their environment.

So this first step which is the Mystical Paths, is to know self, to know your Essence, to know your place in the creation and the relationship with God. That covers the teachings like Hinduism, Buddhism, Cabala (from Judaism), Saints in Christianity, Sufis in Islam, and every other teaching that teaches that your Essence and God’s are One, and you have to meditate, awaken your spiritual forces, realize God within, and therefore, have a direct relationship with God so you can know what the truth is.

Do not listen to the preachers. Of course, the Scriptures were sent by God, are the Word of God, so take them while you are meditating. Also read the Scriptures. Of course, we know that the Upanishads and Vedas were not written down until 500 years before Christ. So they have probably been tampered with and changed and added to, because it was an oral tradition to give from the teacher to the student.

And 500 years BC they could not find enough students to follow it, so in order not to lose it, they put it down in the books, and there is even a controversy that one of the Vedas really does not belong in the set. 

Of course, Judaism came and Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. Even that has been changed, taken away from, and actually was completely lost before they came back from Persia, when they were taken away and eventually came back.

They did not have the Old Testament. At that time it was not like this time. They could not print millions of copies of a book. There were a few of them written by hand and kept in very secure places. And then, of course, the war came and those places were all open, destroyed, and burned.

So when the Jews came back, they did not have enough Old Testaments. They found a book in the walls of the old temple, and they said, Well, this is it. That should be the book. So we can see that even that was not completely the original.

It is the same with the teaching of Christ. He came and he said a lot of things, and he was crucified. His revelation was not written until 170 years after him. Also we can also see that was not completely untampered with.

Then the revelation of Prophet Muhammad came. He never wrote anything. Actually he was illiterate, he could not read. But he received a revelation from God and gave it to the people who memorized it. In one war, many of those people died, and the leaders of Islam felt that if they do not write it down, it would get lost.

Then they found out that there is more than one version, and the people who were supposed to remember it did not exactly remember the same verse the same way. So even the Koran had many versions and eventually they had to say that one of them is the correct one. Even after they decided that was the last book, they realized later that there are other verses they did not even include, that other people came up and said, Yes, I remember Prophet Muhammad said this and that. So they were not included.

And then the next revelation was the revelation of the Baha’is. There is a story that Baha’u’llah threw a lot of his revelations into the river because he thought people are not ready for it. So he did not give everything either. 

Then we reach this Revelation, which was revealed, written down, published, put on the website so that everybody on earth can access them. You can just go to our website and download all our Revelation, our Teaching, in there, right there. It is not tampered with, it is not lost. It cannot be lost, because many people have downloaded it, they have CDs of them. It is already in every corner of the earth. 

So we can see that in order to understand other revelations on earth, you have to understand THOTH and our Teaching. Then you will see where they fall and how they relate to each other. 

So the first step is to read the Scriptures, understand THOTH, meditate, and realize what a wonderful plan God has for humanity up to this point, and that is the first step, to awaken your spiritual forces. 

The second step is to direct that realization and energy to create the Communities based on God and God’s Laws or Daharma, or the innate nature of each person in the Community and environment. That is, of course, the Old Testament. If you go through the Old Testament, the whole Old Testament is about God is trying to find a people who are the Chosen Ones and they will accept God as their King and follow His Laws.

That is what the Communities of Light are. A Community of Light is a Community that is created based on God and His Spirit, not based on ego, not based on domination, not based on destructive tendencies, but based on God and the Spirit of God who comes through each individual in the Communities because they are meditating. They are awakening their spiritual forces. They know themselves. The know the Scriptures. They know God. They know how to be in a Community and how to bring God to the Community.

If they are not bringing God to the Community, then you are hurting the Community or you are lying. So, the second step is in the Old Testament. Of course, God struggled with them. He struggled with the Children of Israel, the Jews. They would not listen. They wanted a human king. They chose judges for them, and the judges were supposed to be connected to God and bring the Spirit of God to the community.

But the community said, We do not want judges. We want kings like our neighbors. God said, OK, if you want a king, go ahead. Choose a king for yourselves. Samuel was very upset, because he thought they rejected him. Samuel was the last judge of the Jews. God said, No, they did not reject you. They rejected me as their king, as their God, as My Laws, and therefore he said, Go ahead. Choose a king.

They chose Saul, and he was a terrible person who did a lot of terrible things. He sent their children to the wars. They rejected God. They chose a king. Samuel was the last judge of the Jews, who received a request from the people that they want a king. So, Samuel went to God and said, They rejected me. But God said, They did not reject you. They rejected me.

Of course, while we are explaining these things, if you have any questions, if you have been in our website, if you have anything to ask about our Teaching, you can raise your hand and we can answer them.

Anyway, in the Old Testament, there was a struggle between Jews and God, and they eventually chose Saul. Then God sent them a better king. He sent them King David, and of course, King David was the best king they ever had, and you can see that if you listen to God, good things happen, if you really, truly are connected to God. 

If you are individually connected to God, you will have the Blessing and Grace of God. If the Community is connected to God, the community will receive the Blessing of God. If the nations are connected to God, they will receive the Blessing, and if the whole earth is connected to God, even we will have a peaceful, One earth where humanity can live together happily in peace and unity, and sharing and bring the whole universe as their source of material that they can enjoy in Communities of Light.

So we can see that they rejected God, and therefore eventually He destroyed even the temple and He scattered them, as He promised He would. And He sent a Messiah to them, and they rejected the Messiah also, and you know what happens when you reject the Messenger. You are really rejecting the person who sent the message, because the Messenger is a channel, a median between human and God. 

If you reject the Messenger, you are not really rejecting the Messenger of a person. You are rejecting the person who sent the message and who has been sending the revelations all through history? God. 

So, we can see that by realizing that, that is not a very good thing to do. You have to look at the people who say they are a Prophet of God, and see if they have fulfilled the prophecies, if they have fulfilled the Scriptures. Are their words the Word of God?

The more you see that, the more you understand, Yes, this is from God. This is the Word of God. This is the end time. So where else do you want to be? The only place that was prophesied that will bring the end time and the Kingdom and all that, anywhere else is the wrong place to be. 

Therefore, if you realize these things and you saw these clearly, you no longer can reject the message because the message and God are One. That is why Christ said, Me and the Father are One.

If the message comes through me, I am One with God. You cannot reject me and not reject God. It is impossible. It is the same thing. The moment you reject me, I am the Messenger, you are rejecting God, because that is who He is on earth at this moment. 

So, you can see that is why Christ told them that the Kingdom will be taken away from them and given to another nation. That is exactly what happened with the next nation that brought the next revelation, was Prophet Muhammad who brought the message of Islam.

Of course, in the Communities of Light, when you are in a Community of Light, in order to create the Communities of Light, you have to give of yourself. You have to give up of your ego, not “me, me, me” all the time, but “What can I do for the Community, how can I help the Community, how can I sacrifice for it and give to it,” and that is the message of Christ.

Christ sacrificed himself for his ideal. He brought the message of giving of yourself to the Community in order to create the Communities of Light. The Communities of Light cannot be created without people in them being willing to give of themselves and not be self-centered. 

The moment you are self-centered and selfish in the Community, you are not in the Communities of Light and you are not helping the Communities of Light. How can you be selfish if you meditate, you awaken your spiritual forces, you live in a Community that is based on God and His Laws? And one of God’s Laws is not to be selfish, do not be self-centered all the time.

If you are selfish and self-centered, then you are not following the very basic Law of God to give up yourself to the Community. So we can see that these steps go hand-in-hand and step-by-step together. You cannot separate them. You cannot say, “I am in a Community of Light,” but everyone in the Community of Light is selfish and self-centered and they want to get their way or their attention, or all that.

You cannot do that. Your attention should come from God. You have to get all filled up with the Love and Joy of God instead of craving for more attention of man. Why do you want the attention of man when you can have absolute Oneness with God? So you have to really meditate on these things, “Why am I doing these things that are not Godly?”

 

Question [text]: I have a question. How is God described?

Maitreya: Well, you cannot describe God, because God is beyond human mind. He is Pure Consciousness. That is why many people have been trying to describe God for the last 12,000 years. How many books have been written to describe Him? But you can describe Him as the Creator of this universe. You can describe Him as the Essence of each man. You can described Him, as someone is saying [in text], as Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal (FINE). 

That is because He is Formless. The moment you give Him a form to God or anything, that is not Him, because He is beyond form. He is invisible. You cannot see Him because He is a Spirit. He is nameless because His true Name cannot be pronounced in the external world, and He is Eternal because He has been here forever.

Even the word “eternity” is beyond the human mind, and the human cannot even fathom what the word “eternity” means. That is why, the only way to know God is to experience Him. The only way to know eternity is to experience eternity. The moment you experience it, you say, “Ah, that is what they were talking about.” 

 

Question [text]: Is Maitreya a religion, and if yes, how old is it?

Maitreya: Well, Maitreya is the Revealer of the Revelation of the Seven Seals that has been prophesied in The Revelation. If you read The Revelation in the Bible, it talks about the Seven Seals and in chapter five it clearly says who can open them and when they will be open. When the Seven Seals are opened, the Mystery of God will be finished and the end time is here, and it is the time of bringing humanity together and bringing the Kingdom of God on earth.

That is who Maitreya is. Maitreya has been prophesied to come. Again, if you go to our website [www.maitreya.org] it clearly says that there are many, many prophecies foretelling the coming of this Revelation on earth. If somebody came and claimed they are sent by God or are the Messenger of God and they have not fulfilled the prophecies, they are not correct.

They are in the delusion of grandeur. Therefore, we can see that there are many, many guideposts that have been given by God to humanity to recognize and realize the correct Messengers that were sent by God. When His correct Messengers are recognized, then they have the latest and last Revelation of God, and they can help humanity to go to the next step of the evolution.

 

Question [text]: Is God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all good?

Maitreya: Well, He is all-powerful, in the sense that He has created the universe and knows how it works. He is all-knowing, He knows about everything at the same time. And He indeed is good. Really the name “God” comes from “good,” the only difference is that good has two O’s and God has one “O.” Of course, God stands for generator, operator, and destroyer.

Therefore, He has to guide the universe to go toward its ultimate goal, but He will act according to the original intent of the creation, which is to bring the lost Souls or the chaos in the beginning back to the Godhead which was Pure Consciousness or equilibrium in the universe. 

So there was a chaos. That is one of the things that a lot of people need in understanding the creation and God’s Revelation and Plan. There was a chaos, there was a destructive force in the beginning. They always say, “God created this universe,” for what? He just sat there and said, “Universe be,” and it was? So what was the purpose of it?

The purpose of it is clearly shown in the Bible in the very few verses in the Bible, that there was darkness and the Spirit of God moved in the darkness and said, “Let there be light.” So there was darkness, and God wanted to bring light into it.

That is the whole purpose of the creation, to bring light to the darkness. And the darkness, “And the light shineth in the darkness, …” and the human comprehended it not. That Light is within you and is in you and is with you,             which is your Essence and is God, but the human does not comprehend it. Still they are searching for God all over the place, and some people even believe there is no God, because they are so dark that they cannot see the Light. 

So, if we understand it, the very origin of the creation was after the darkness and we can see that there was a purpose for creation. The purpose is to bring the darkness to Light, and God works and acts according to that purpose. 

He is all-powerful, but He does not use His powers for the silly things or for the things that are not according to that intent, because God is an all-concentration, all-purposeful Being, and He never uses His power for anything but that original purpose.

Some people say, “OK, if God is all-powerful, why doesn’t He give me a couple of billion dollars, or, why doesn’t He make me rich,” or this and that? Well, it is not according to the purpose of the universe.

What are you going to do when you are rich? Are you just going to use your money to fall even in a greater degree into Maya? God does not want to do that for you, therefore, it is not going to happen.

So we can see that, if you understand the very purpose of the creation, then you understand that the way God acts is according to that purpose. 

 

Question [text]: So Maitreya is not a religion, it is just a fulfillment of prophecies?

Maitreya: No, prophecies come with the Revelation and the Revelation comes with a Book. The Book is the guidance for humanity. Therefore, prophecy alone by itself does not mean anything. “OK, I fulfilled prophecy but I do not have any Revelation, I did not bring a Book to humanity.” Therefore, you are not a Prophet. 

That is why we have THOTH. The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament is the Revelation, the Book of guidance for humanity which is given to the human, and it is for man to see how God has been sending this Revelation and now they are put together. 

It depends also, what do you mean by religion?

 

Comment [text]: A religion is a set of beliefs.

Maitreya: No, we are not just a set of beliefs. We are the fulfillment of the prophecies with the Revelation, with the Book, and with the Message. The miracle of Prophet Muhammad was the Koran. The miracle of Christ was the healing and restoring people physically. The miracle of this Mission is the Message.

If you understand the Message, you will see the miracle in this Message and how it has unified humanity together. OK, if a “religion” means the Word of God came to man in a Book revealing the truth, we are a religion indeed, and we have brought the guiding Light for man in these last days of human history.

 

Question [text]: If God is all-powerful, then why can’t He have a name?

Maitreya: Well, according to Prophet Muhammad, He has 3,000 names that, of course, man gave to Him, because names … if you remember in the Bible, God brought everything to Adam and asked him, What do you call this? What do you call that?

Adam called them the names that he wanted to call them. So names have a human make-up. The human needs to have names. When you are in Pure Consciousness, you do not need a name. You look at everything according to the Daharma or the innate nature of them. You look at the computer and say, “OK, the innate nature of the computer is that I can type in it, I can send emails, I can write books, I can publish them, I can print them,” etc.

It is a very useful thing that has a nature that is very useful. You can look at the innate nature of a fish is to be in the water, eat, drink, and be there, as some of them are kosher for the human to eat, and all that.

Why does God want to give Himself a name or something that is a human need? He does not need a name. It is us who give names to things. Even in the Bible, if you read it clearly, He did not give any name to anything. It was Adam who gave names. If He did not give names to anything, therefore He did not care about names.

He looks at everything according to their nature, and He does not have a name because He does not need one. And whoever gives God a name, it is their need. It is they who want a name for God. God does not need to be given a name. Of course, He is a vibration. He is an energy, in the manifested world, and that energy and manifestation has a vibration that is within you.

That is what we reveal in this Mission also as the four parts of initiation. If you receive the fourth part, you will receive that energy, that vibration. 

But you have to stay to the end. You cannot come here and send me an email and say, “OK, give me the name. That is all I want.” No, it does not work that way. You have to follow the Eternal Divine Path. You have to understand our Teaching. You have to be dedicated. You have to come and do the work of God and therefore God reveals Himself to you as that vibration.

And that vibration, when you receive it, you cannot utter it. You cannot say what the name of God is. Even if I utter it for you right here, that pronunciation does not help you a bit, unless you have been initiated and you have received that energy/vibration within you. Then you recognize that it is always with you. It never left you. It is like God that He is with you always.

So, we can see that God does not need a name. Anyone that calls a name, any name, as the name of God, are wrong because that is a manifestation, that is an utterance, that is something in the external world that is a human-made thing and it is not God’s Name. 

Therefore we can see that with this understanding, no human on earth has the correct name of God but those who have been initiated to the fourth part of the initiation in this Mission, and they know it very correctly that they already have the Name of God within themselves.

They have been dedicated to the Mission and that is why they have received it. And now it is between them and God. Actually they are at the most dangerous part of their spiritual journey because now they are with God all the time. Then they have to absolutely use that Word for the good purpose, for their own progress, and become Godly. 

 

Comment [text]: Names do not create separation if God can have unlimited names.

Maitreya: No, God does not have unlimited names. Even the names they have given to Him in Islam as the 99 names of God, they are attributes of God. They are not the name of God. Even Prophet Muhammad himself said there are 3,000 names for God and one of them, nobody knows.

So Prophet Muhammad knew that one name, which is a vibration within you and it is the correct energy that you can relate to, cannot be pronounced. It cannot be uttered. The name is a human thing. You give names to your child because you have to call him something. 

But if you are in Pure Consciousness, you know the nature of your son or child, you do not need to give him or her a name. You can communicate with that child in that spiritual level. You do not need to call Him anything. You can telepathically talk to Him. In another place, you do not even need the cellular phone. You can just telepathically talk to that individual or person.

Therefore, names are used by humans. It is something in creation. It is something that you cannot give the attribute as the name of God.

It is an attribute of God. God stands for “generator, operator, and destroyer.” Therefore, it is not the name of God but it is an attribute, the thing God does. So if you understand that, names are not Godly things. It is man who makes these names.

Of course, in the Bible it says, You will be saved by His Name. A lot of people say, “Well, you have to know His name as ‘Jesus’ and if you believe in the name of Jesus, you are saved.”

But we know there is no “J” in Hebrew, and he was a Hebrew. His name, therefore, cannot even be Jesus. It is because the moment you say, “J”, it is not his name because he was Hebrew. Humans need to understand that “his name” is talking about that energy, that vibration, that is being revealed to humanity here. If you know that, you are saved.

Even when you know that, it is the beginning of becoming saved. It is the beginning of your last part of your journey toward God and becoming One with that Word. 

 

Question [text]: Doesn’t that limit God to say He cannot have a name?

Maitreya: No, it does not. Actually it reveals Him completely through absolute eternity and Pure Consciousness. He is not a human, he does not have human attributes. He is a Spirit. Even Christ said, You have to worship Him in Spirit, not in the temples or in the mountains. God is a Spirit, and worship Him in Spirit.

How do you worship God in Spirit? By meditation and prayer, when you meditate and you close your eyes, you close a very powerful sense and you go within yourself where God is. God is not in the temple, God is not in the mosque, He is not in the synagogue. He is not in the churches. God is within you. God is where your temple is. 

Your temple is your body. Close your eyes, and you are in the temple of God. And if He does not have any name, actually that absolutely frees you. That unifies humanity. We do not call Him “Allah,” or “Jesus.” If you call Him “Allah,” that is not His name. If you call Him “Jesus,” that is not His name.

Therefore, your God and my God is the same. It is not “Jesus,” it is not “Allah,” it is not separated. If I call Him “Jesus” and you call Him “Allah,” we have two different Gods. But if I cannot call Him anything, and you cannot call Him anything, and the only thing we can call Him is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal, “Hey, we both have the same God!”

He does not have a name. That was made by man, and now we are separating, self-separating by these different names.

 

Question [text]: What is Maitreya’s view on religion?

Maitreya: OK, “religion” depends on how you define “religion.” If you define “religion” as a set of beliefs and dogmas, then it is no good. We have a lot of them on earth. They are splitting into many different branches every day and we have more of them every day. 

Many people bring different … they have a little realization and they come to humanity and say, “Well, we know the truth,” and some people follow them, and they are separating man more and more.

But if by “religion” you mean by the truth, by the Revelation of God, by the Scriptures, by the things that have been sent to humanity and they are in His Revelation and now they are purified and explained correctly in The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament, then religion is the truth. It frees man. Religion brings unity. Religion explains the Plan of God, and you clearly see that God has been sending these revelations and now all of them are a part of this truth and Plan and Teaching.

Therefore, you absolutely free yourself from dogmas, from darkness, from falling for the false teachers, because the false teachers can get you. Anybody who tells you, “Oh, I can make these ashes. I can make this fire. I can make even fire come from the sky.” And you ask him, “OK, fine, but have you fulfilled the prophecies? Did you open the Seven Seals? Have you brought the Book that opens and explains the Seven Seals?”

And he says, “Oh, no, I cannot do that. I have not done that.”

Sorry, you are not doing what God said will happen in history at the end time, and therefore you are a false prophet. You are a false teacher. I am not going to follow you. I am going to go find the person who has fulfilled the prophecies, opened the Seven Seals, revealed the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals, and that is the only salvation of man.

Any other choosing is a wrong choosing. So, it depends on how you explain “religion.” You have to understand what religion really means. If religion means the truth, a Revelation from God, then that is good. But if it is a set of dogmas and separative ideas, and many names and bringing more destructive forces to humanity, then no, it is not good.

Forget all these religions. That is what Buddha said. Buddha just had enough of religion and all the gods and goddesses, temples, idols and all that, and Buddha said, Just forget about these gods, idols and all that. Know thyself. Understand the nature of mind with attachments, desires, and suffering.

Therefore you can see that many Prophets and great religious beings have recognized and realized that man is attached to many things that create separation and destruction. Now here in this Revelation, we do not even give a name to God and tell you, God does not have a name, because if you give some attributes to God, just like “Jaha’u’llah” which means “The Glory of God,” that is the Glory of God, it is not His name. It is just an attribute of God.

So we can see that again this Revelation and this Teaching absolutely frees man from all dogmas and misunderstanding, and brings them to understand the Formless, Invisible, Nameless God. The way to go to Him is following the Eternal Divine Path, creation of the Communities of Light, bringing the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, and helping humanity to go beyond names and shapes. Anything that has attributes, anything that can be touched, uttered, smelled, seen, anything that has the attributes of the senses is not the ultimate.

The ultimate God is Formless, Invisible, Nameless, and Eternal. If you can see that clearly, then you have a good grip on the true nature of the Essence of God, and you can free yourself from every dogma on earth and all religions. Any dogma or anything that teaches you differently, you can say, “No, this is dogma. It is man-made. It is not the highest on earth. I want to go to the Highest.”

That is what we are looking for, the people who say, “Yes, I want to go to the Highest.” They do not want to settle for trinkets, they do not want to settle for the names or dogmas. They want to free themselves. They know, “I am going to be free.” 

It sounds like, “One religion, One nation, One nationality, One gender, One earth. I am a universalist. I am free of all these man-made things. I am absolutely free to God.” And if you are a free man or woman to God, then you are a dynamic spiritual force.

You will teach these things to other people. Tell them, “Don’t follow the names. The names that you are following are not His names. His true name is the vibration within you.”

You have it already, and if you have it already, then God is with you and when you receive it, then you say, “Yes, this has been with me all the time. His name is not any of those 99 names in Islam, or the name that Christians call Him, or Jews call Him ‘Yahweh’ or ‘Jehovah’ or whatever.” 

Maybe Hebrews knew the name of God in the beginning and then they corrupted it to something which is not His name any longer. That is why they stoned a person who tried to utter His name at the time of Moses. He revealed to them what the name of God was, the vibration, and if you try to utter it to other people, they would stone you.

That is because, you cannot do it. Now, of course, everybody says, His name is “Yahweh” or “Yeshovah” or this and that. Moses said, No, you cannot say it. You cannot utter it. You cannot give it to another person. You are not authorized to do that. You will bring huge harm to yourself and other people if you try to just give it away. 

So, it is absolutely truth what we say here. 

 

Question [text]: Why does having a name have to be a human attribute? It appears to be forcing the human to a conception of God. It is readily accepted that God is within you, but why not without you also?

Maitreya: Absolutely. He is without you, and within you, and up and down, and north and south, and right and left. There is no way you can look and there is no God or is not there. God is within you because He is everywhere else. 

But this creation is not the absolute truth. It is a relative truth. The absolute is the Essence, is God, is the Light, is out of this darkness. Why does He want to receive an attribute of darkness, a name? We are living in a creation, therefore He is Light. He does not want any attributes that belong to the darkness.

You can give Him any name you want, but that does not affect Him at all, because He does not have names, He is beyond creation, He is beyond … before darkness, or the name which is an attribute of this creation. If He was before this creation, how can He ever have a name before that? You mean, He received the name after He created the creation? Why does He want to have a name after He created the creation?

Why does He want to receive anything from darkness? He tries to bring the darkness to Light. He wants nothing to do with whatever is in the darkness. 

 

Question [text]: Is Maitreya the continuation of all previous existing religions?

Maitreya: Yes, indeed. If you actually read our Teaching, if you see the prophecies, if you see that all the things that happened before this Revelation have culminated and has been put together and brought to one Revelation which is our Teaching. Indeed, it is not a continuation which is a Baha’i idea, which they believe that revelation continues and different revealers or teachers come and it is progressive. But this is the culmination. It is the end. It is finished. It is the ultimate, the last Revelation of God before the coming of the Kingdom and going to the Pure Consciousness and Oneness with God.

So, our Teaching, in that essence, is different than the Baha’i teaching. Baha’is believe in continuation, although there have been many discussions with Abdul ’Baha that there is going to be the Seventh Angel to come, and He will reveal the absolute truth and the last Revelation of God. But in general they believe in the continuation of the revelation or progressive revelation which is not based on Scripture.

The Scripture clearly says that there is going to be a last Revelation, there is going to be a Book sealed with the Seven Seals and will be opened, there will be the Revelation of the Seven Seals. There is going to an end time that will be sealed from the Visons of the Prophets in the past. 

Therefore, God absolutely said there is going to be a last Revelation. It is not going to be progressive forever. 

Of course, now we understand, not only was it progressive, but also each major revelation from God had a message for humanity. Baha’i and Bab had the message of universalism. Prophet Muhammad had the message of surrendering and submission. Christ had the message of sacrifice. Jews, or the Old Testament, is the message of the Communities of Light. And of course, the Mystical Paths is the spirit of all religions and that means “know thyself” to know God, and by knowing God, of course, you know His Plan and Revelation.

If you know yourself and you know God, and you see our Teaching, you say, “Yes, it makes sense. It is the truth. It is based on the Scriptures. It fulfills the prophecies. It opens the Seven Seals. It reveals the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals. What else do I want? All the tools are here, the only thing I have to do is to now accept it and see where I fall into this Plan and how I can help to see this Revelation manifest itself.”

So, “continuation,” I do not know what is the correct word here, but you can say “culmination” and the last Revealer of the truth.

 

Question [text]: What is Maitreya’s view on vegetarianism?

Maitreya: Well, we do encourage people to eat as many vegetables as possible. Vegetables are mostly for Spirit. They digest much easier, they are nutritional, but we do not condemn eating meat if the people want to. We do make an exception for the unkosher meat, like pig and ham, the things that God also has revealed to humanity as not being kosher. 

Therefore, we do not emphasize too much on the food you eat, but we try to include a lot of vegetables and vegetarian food in our diet. Of course, the greater food is the nectar that you will experience in the higher level of meditation. That nectar is more nutritious than any food and it is very healing.

The exception to the meat is the camel, and Prophet Muhammad made it kosher in the Koran. The reason is, of course, that in some cultures there are not enough vegetables or kosher food, and people have no choice but to eat whatever is available in their environment, just like the North Pole. There are no vegetables in the North Pole, and people do not have gardens. There are no sheep or cows, or things like that, so probably eating seals can be considered as a necessity of life for them. 

The Laws of God are absolute and at the same time very flexible according to the environment the people are living in. We have three categories of food: sentient, rajasic, and tamasic, and it is explained in THOTH what they are. But even these foods change their attributes according to the environment the people live in.

So, we are not condemning you if you are not absolutely vegetarian, but we encourage you to become more vegetarian as much as possible.

 

Question [text]: How can Maitreya believe in karma and expect that there will not be a reaction for killing animals?

Maitreya: Well, you have to explain what karma means. First, karma means the reaction of your bad action. There are animals that God has created just for human consumption, and killing them, of course, is not creating such a bad karma as a lot of people might think. If we can reach a point that we do not have to kill animals and we actually can have our nutrition from the air or from chemicals or from the things that we can create. Who knows, maybe scientifically one day we can just take a pill every day and have all the nutrition we need? 

Those pills would be made by the chemicals that give us all the things that we need for our body. But we are not there yet, and there are people who believe that animals were made by God for human consumption. And they do not feel bad or guilty about it, and as long as you do not feel guilty about it and you see that some of those animals are very close to vegetables, actually.

It is not a big karma. The teaching in Hinduism sometimes is taking the Law of karma to extremes. There was a story about a child who fell into the water, and nobody went to rescue her. When this person asked, “Why did no one go to rescue her,” they said, “Oh, that was her karma, to fall into the water and drown.”

Absolutely that is wrong, because the Law of karma also means that you put your effort and your energy into changing your environment, your life, and your situation. That was not the Law of karma in that situation.

God gave us mind, hands, and intelligence, and we have to use them to improve our life, environment, and bring a greater degree of life to ourselves. So sitting there and saying, “Well, everything is karma,” is like believing that the Will of God for me is to just sit there and say, “I will wait to see what He is going to do for me, and I am not going to take any action.”

The definition of karma and Maya and all those things are individually defined in the Mission of Maitreya. You can go to our website, go to The Glossary and there study the Law of Karma, reincarnation, Maya, and all that and get a new, fresh way of looking at them. 

Then you will realize that our Teaching is based on the truth again, and some animals are OK for consumption, but if we can reach a point that we do not have to, we do not have to. Then we can leave them alone and become more vegetarian or use other sources for our nutritional needs. 

 

Comment [text]: I am coming from the spiritual wheel.

Maitreya: So what do you want us to do, “you are from the spiritual wheel.” Why are you saying that? What is the significance of that? [no answer]

 

Question [text]: How are the Seven Seals opened?

Maitreya: The Seven Seals were opened after it was revealed to me, and actually when I was visiting Chicago and the person I was visiting took me to the Baha’i Temple. It was at that Baha’i Temple where the Revelation of the Seven Seals came together. Of course, it is a long story. 

It happened. If you want to know more, there is a writing in the website where it talks about how I became Maitreya. It was given by one of the people in the Mission, and you can go and read about it to see how it occurred.

 

Question [text]: Do you believe in life after death?

Maitreya: Yes, we believe in reincarnation. And the reincarnation, of course, is a very practical and truthful belief that many religions have. Without reincarnation, you cannot explain the justness of God. Also it is clearly stated even in the Bible that Elias was the reincarnation of Elijah. Therefore we can see that even the Bible explains that they believed in that.

So there is life after death. Your Essence will come back as another person in body and will continue to be. That is the way it explains very well how God is just. He gives you many, many chances, many lifetimes. He provides you with all the opportunities to progress. Actually the base of the Elects is reincarnation.

There are many people who have been reincarnated for the last 12,000 years, and for many of them, each lifetime progressed a little more and as they progressed, they became closer to God in Spirit. Now they are in a place where they absolutely understand this Teaching and realize the depths of it, and they will come and help and create the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE).

If there was no reincarnation, they would have had one lifetime. If they failed, or if they would have come close to God but not close enough, they would not be here as Elects.

So you can see again that reincarnation explains the Word of God in the Scriptures when He talks about the Elects, My Chosen people. How are they? How did He chose them? He just randomly went through a few thousand, “You are Chosen, you are Chosen, the rest are not chosen?” 

You have to have done something to have proven yourself. In many lifetimes, God said, “Yes, you are Chosen. You have the Spirit of God within you. You really want to be better, you want to know God,” and that absolutely can be explained by reincarnation.

There is no other way. Some people say that He found them from the foundation of creation. Well, if He found them from the foundation of creation, why did He have to wait until now? “OK, you guys are all Elects, come here. The rest you are not, go to hell!”

He had to wait. He had to see who progresses and who does not. Who in each incarnation meditates, awakens his spiritual forces, loves God, comes and read the Scriptures, understands His Revelation? Now, He says, OK, I will give everybody 12,000 years or maybe more than that, and now I can say, many of you have been meditating, have been awakening the spiritual forces, see this Vision clearly, now you are an Elect. Therefore, I can now choose you and call you to come and join this Mission.

Again we can see that reincarnation is practical. Reincarnation is true. Reincarnation is in the Scriptures, and it makes sense. It shows the justness of God. It shows how the Elects are chosen. It shows that God gives man many, many chances for many lifetimes, and eventually if you will not listen and go and become Godly, God says, OK, there are infinite other unit consciousnesses in the universe waiting for a body to come, and you are not using this body correctly. Alright, so you are not going to be reincarnated.

I am going to send another unit consciousness to come to the body. Again, it is practical. It makes sense how God works. Therefore, when you die you shall return, and if you progress, of course, you go toward God. If you do not progress, eventually, as the end time comes like now, those who have been called for and progressed now will come and join this Mission and realize they are the Elects and have been called to come here.

 

Question [text]: What are the qualifications you possess that allow you to open the Seals?

Maitreya: It is the fulfillment of the prophecies. If you go to our website, we have an extensive section about the prophecies. I did not go and find them. I did not search for them. I did not try to match myself with these prophecies. I knew a very few of them that in the beginning, a lot of questions came to the Mission. Then a person in the Mission searched for the prophecies and wrote a short version of the prophecies, more than I knew. But she wrote probably around 15 pages or something like that about different prophecies.

Then a couple of years ago, a gentleman came and told us that there are more, and he added many, many pages to the prophecies. Then about a year and a half ago, another gentleman came and talked about my genealogy. The only thing I knew was that I am connected to Nadar Shah. And he went and he found that, yes, my genealogy also goes all the way to King David, therefore I qualify as a potential Christ or the Lion of Judah.

With this Revelation, with these prophecies, with the opening of the Seven Seals, it was clear that actually I am the only person who can open the Seven Seals and the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals. No other person on earth have the qualification or the uniqueness of my situation. Actually my claim is the claim on the Kingdom of Israel and the Hebrews and the Chosen people.

Of course, the Chosen people we do not believe are a race. We believe it is a quality and that is those who follow the Eternal Divine Path. Therefore, my qualifications, my resume, you cannot go wrong with it. It absolutely shows us that God does not give you anybody else with such qualifications God has given us here to this person.

Therefore, that is another way to test the Spirit and see if it is really from God. You have to test the Spirit and see this truth, these qualifications, the Revelation, and the Word of God, if still you are resisting it, there is something wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with this Mission. There is nothing wrong with this Revelation. There is nothing wrong with this Teaching and God.

God truly exists. He has sent all these religions. He has sent the Seven Seals. He has sealed the Book with the Seven Seals. Now it is opened! It is here with us, it is offered to you. It is a Call for you to see this truth.

And after      seeing the truth and testing the Spirit, you will have to tell yourself, “Yes, I am in the right place. Actually, I am in the only place that everybody should be. If I am anywhere else, then I am in the wrong place, I am not in the correct situation.”

So, that is why we are offering this room. Come and talk to us, come and go to the website, read, study, and understand our teaching, and see what God has done. There is no other person on earth who has these qualifications. Nobody can claim, no matter how many miracles they do, how wonderful they are, no matter how beautiful they act, they cannot claim this because God made it very clear who is the person who can claim this. So these qualifications are there for you to see. 

 

Question [text]: Do you know the Hebrew language?

Maitreya: I know a little, actually I was born in Iran, Persia, and that language has been very much affected with Arabic, 75% of it actually is Arabic, although they do not understand each other.

Hebrew and Arabic are very close to each other, so I understand some words in Hebrew but I am not an expert in it.

 

Question [text]: So how can you be the King of the Jews?

Maitreya: Because they speak English [laughter] and you do not have to know Hebrew. Also, if you understand our Teaching, actually Jews are only the Children of Judah, Benjamin and the Levites with them. Therefore they are not really Hebrew. There was a split between the twelve tribes of Israel. Ten of them went to the north, and two of them stayed in the south.

The Hebrews or the part of Israel that was taken away left and came to the United States and Europe. A true Hebrew means the Children of Light; the Israelites mean the Children of Light. And the Children of Light are the Chosen people who I just was discussing,

From the last 12,000 years, they have been Chosen, they have been progressing and I am the King of those who are the true Hebrews, the Children of Israel. And they speak English, or at least they understand English or they try to understand English. Therefore I do not have to know Hebrew to become the King of the Hebrews.

 

Question [text]: Do you know Lord Satana?

Maitreya: No, I only know one Lord, and that is the Lord God. There is no other Lord beside Him. Therefore, I do not know such a person as the Lord. There is only One God, One Lord, and He is Formless, Nameless, and Invisible.

Alright, if there is any other question in the room that is based on our teaching or about our Revelation, our qualifications, our unification of all religions, go ahead, ask that, or raise your hand. You have to understand our Teaching, you have to understand God’s Revelation and the way He meant by saying who the Israelites are, who the Hebrews are, who the Chosen people are.

If the Jews or the Hebrews still think they are the Chosen people, they should read the chapters in the New Testament that Christ clearly told them that the Kingdom will be taken away from you and given to another people! He disqualified them absolutely, right there, and that goes with the prophecies that Judah will be the King or the Hebrews will be the Chosen people until the Shiloh comes.

Shiloh came as Christ, and when he came, of course, that choosing or being a part of God’s Plan was finished. They did their job, they struggled with God, they tried to … whenever they accepted God as King, they prospered. Whenever they did not, they fell.

That is what you have to understand, what the “Hebrew” means, what the true “Chosen” means. What are the Chosen people? They are the Elects. If you understand those things, then you will not ask these questions like if I know Hebrew at all, because I do not need to.

It is because the Hebrews, who are the Chosen people, are not a race. It is not a title. It is a quality. No matter how many titles you give yourself, if you do not have the qualities of an Elect, you are not. It is as simple as that.

No matter how much you try to think you are, you are not, the father of the Jews, or the Moslems, or Buddhists or Hindus, or Christians. [answering to a text] Not really, I do not have to be accepted by anybody.

Those who come and see the truth, they accept me and of course, many Jews will also accept this very well. Those who accept me are Elects. Those who do not, are not.

Well, I hope they do. I am not saying that I am against them or I do not want them to accept me. Of course I want them to accept me, but they have to recognize what God has been doing and why He scattered them, why Jews are as much loved by God as the Moslems or Hindus or Buddhists, or Christians, or anyone on earth is.

I do not make any discrimination between them or anybody else. But the truth is that their being an Elect was finished by Christ. When He came, that was it. 

 

Question [text]: How did you overcome the four defects of the conditioned Soul, namely "making mistakes, having imperfect senses, the tendency to cheat, and being in illusion?”

Maitreya: Well, everything is            by God, so it has some truth. That is why we teach in the Mission that God is the Doer. If you let God come through, you will not make those mistakes. Anyone who lets God come through will overcome these four defects.

I do not know where you got that one, that is probably another idea of some person that says it is four. Of course, Buddha said differently, and many other teachers have different ideas. So what you are saying is just one person’s opinion and ideas, but the truth is, God is perfect. If you let God come through, if you understand the submission and surrendering to God, the Fourth Seal in our Teaching, if you truly become a channel or a person who lets God come through, God is perfect.

God is perfect. If God is perfect, then therefore you let Him come through and He will do a perfect job. He does not make mistakes. He will not cheat. He will follow the Commandments and He will become absolutely perfect in all the things he or she does.

Of course, according to our Teaching, nobody is always connected to God. When, I give Satsang, when I talk about God and at this moment, absolutely God comes through and therefore it is perfect. In another sense, I am just a man.

As they said to Christ when he said, I am the only way, there is no way but me, and then two days later somebody called him, Good Rabbi, and he said, I am not good. Only God is good. Ummm, what happened? Two days ago you said you are the only way. 

It is because in that moment when he was saying, I am the only way, he and God were one and he was saying the truth. And two days later he was not connected completely, and he said, I am not good.

So we can say that it is the dual nature of the Messiah or the Messenger of God. When they are connected to God and they are the Word of God, they are perfect, they are the truth, they are flawless, they are infallible. But of course, when they are human, in the human body and act like a man, they might make mistakes and they are not infallible at all.

That is why many people in many religions take their leader as infallible, when there were a lot of mistakes made by him and they have to cover them up because they are afraid that people will say, “Why did he make that mistake if he was infallible?” If we understand that when he made a mistake, he was a man, he was not connected, which is OK.

He can make mistakes and still be connected to God when He brings the Revelation to humanity. Even Prophet Muhammad revealed something and the next day he said, No, it was not from God. It was from the devil. Did he make a mistake and therefore because he made a mistake, he is not a Prophet anymore?

Or even Christ, when he asked God, Take this cup from me. That is a mistake, if you are a Messiah, Christ, if you are a Son of God and you are connected to God, you do not ask God to take this cup from me. That is a mistake. So he was not the Messiah then? He was not a Prophet of God? We can say that, these are all again man-made ideas and misunderstandings.

Of course, I do not blame you. It is OK because you do not know our Teaching. If you go to our website or read THOTH, or you can listen to our previous Satsangs or Conversations to see that these things are explained clearly and you will not have all these questions that have already been answered, which is OK. That is why we are here, to answer your questions.

But the answer to your question is, when God comes through a person, he is perfect, and she is perfect, and they will not make mistakes. If they make mistakes, they did not let God come through. You can be in the delusion of thinking that God comes through and even say that in the words, “Oh, I let God come through,” but your actions eventually will show that you are not saying the truth, you are in delusion and illusion, and you are not seeing in the correct way.

Therefore, if God comes through, He will do a perfect job. If He does not come through, man will make mistakes.

 

Question [text]: Would you think that you would have to be free from these conditions in order to be able to receive this message?

Maitreya: I just explained that. That was your answer.

 

Question [text]: How would you know if this Revelation was not just your own mental speculation?

Maitreya: It is because this Revelation is impossible for a man to bring so much truth with “mental speculation.” If you know the Teaching and you understand the depths of the Vision, you will utter in amazement that it is not a human-made Revelation. It is impossible. It is just like a puzzle.

Actually one of the things I was wondering about when I was receiving it was, who is ever going to understand it? Because it is just like a puzzle, the whole thing fits together, and you have to see how this puzzle fits together. Not very many people can see it. Some people leave and say, “Oh, this is repetition over and over, we already know this.” 

They do not. It is not repetition. Well, it may seem to be repetition but every repetition brings a new view and understanding for the person who reads it. Therefore it is impossible for a man to bring these to you.

And also, it is according to prophecies, the genealogy, the opening of the Seven Seals, the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals, the whole thing. You have to look at the whole package and then you will understand that it does not even come to you and the questions all will vanish away, and you will realize that, Yes, it is from God.

 

Question [text]: Why would He come to just anyone? Wouldn’t He chose someone who was fit to emulate His Knowledge?

Maitreya: Oh well. Apparently this is just a discussion going on here.

 

Question [text]: All of these same teachings can be found in the Vedic Scriptures. So where is the Revelation?

Maitreya: That is another thing. Everybody comes here and says, “Oh, this has always been in other Scriptures or in the Vedas. It is not. It is not in the Vedas. It is not in the Old Testament. It is not in the New Testament. It is not in the Koran. It is not in the Baha’i teaching. It has not been on earth for the last 12,000 years. That is another misconception and misunderstanding, and you have not seen the Vision or our Teaching or understood what we are talking about.

The Vedas are not the Eternal Divine Path. Each religion, of course, will bring some emphasis in the part of the Revelation that was brought here together, but none of them have brought the focus the way it is in this Revelation.

Therefore, we do not argue. We have reached to the point of argument.

We will stop and we say, Well, if you want to argue, go and argue with those people who want to argue. This is the case we have presented to you. If you want to know the truth, this is the truth. If you do not, argument is the thing that the other religions do with each other. What we reveal here is the truth of it, and if you cannot see It, then you cannot see It.

OK everybody, it sounds like again the questions are mostly the ones that I have answered before and we have gone through them many times. We have seen this situation many times with many people, and they are so adamant and attached to their own understanding that they are not interested in God’s understanding. And that, of course, blocks them from seeing the truth no matter how much light you shed on that person or mind. They cannot just see and go back to old things like the Vedas or Islam or Christianity or this and that, when all those things have been purified here in a greater degree. 

Again, we are looking for the people who can see the Vision clearly and go and study and love what God has done. 

You all have a good week. See you next week. Sal-Om.
