Share International is the organization promoting Maitreya, the so-called impending "Avatar for the Aquarian Age" via his envoy, "futurist" Benjamin Crème who makes the following claims:
"Many now expect the return of their awaited Teacher, whether they call him the Christ, the Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Krishna, or the Imam Mahdi. Millions now know that the one who fulfils all these expectations, Maitreya, the World Teacher, is already living among us and is gradually emerging into full public recognition.
Maitreya is the Teacher for all humanity
– those of all spiritual traditions, and those who follow no particular
faith. He does not come as a religious leader but as an educator in
the broadest sense.
Maitreya has not come alone,
but with a group of wise men, the Masters of Wisdom, who have long
worked from behind the scenes as the inspirers, teachers and guides of
humanity. They are returning to the everyday world to help us solve our
most critical global problems." {1}Universalism is the belief that all world religions lead to God and that all men are predestined for salvation. Crème's theology is very appealing in that it eliminates the necessity of making a decision about the exclusivity of one particular doctrine as encompassing truth. However, this view is completely at odds with the Bible which claims to be the only source of truth that people can rely on. Pilate asked Jesus Christ: "What is truth?" - it is speculated that he asked the question in contempt and did not wait for an answer (John 18:38). In fact, Jesus Christ declared himself to be objective truth to the exclusion of all others (John 14:6). He said that all who came before him were thieves and robbers.. (John 10:8). Going even further, the scriptures associate pagan gods with demons, and they are further referred to as strange gods, foreign gods, abominations and idols (1 Corinthians 10:20; Psalm 95:5; Deuteronomy 31:16; Leviticus 17:7).
False christs and false prophets were wholly anticipated by Jesus Christ and the apostles, hence the explicit warnings about those proclaiming a different Jesus, a different spirit and a different gospel (Matthew 24:24; 1 John 2:18; 1 Timothy 6:3; 2 Corinthians 11:4). For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11). Antichrist not only means “against Christ”, it also means “in the place of Christ”. The Bible prophesies an ultimate satanic deception of global proportions in the last days culminating in the man variously known as the man of lawlessness, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the Antichrist, with accompanying signs and wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:9). Maitreya, the so called “Christ”, perfectly fits the predictions of this charismatic individual who will appear on the world scene, initially as a supreme political leader and accepted by many as "saviour", until he removes his mask.
Maitreya is the "Christ" figure within a satanic "trinity" of supreme beings, Sanat Kumara “Lord of the World” being the “Father figure” and Lucifer being the LOGOS, the third Ruler. Underneath this counterfeit "godhead" are a hierarchy of wise men, Masters of Wisdom aka Ascended Masters. Benjamin Crème's theology is directly linked to the works of confessed Luciferians Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey whose writings were dictated to them from various Ascended Masters. Christians are directed to test all things throughout he scriptures (1 Thessalonians 5:21), it can easily be shown that these so-called "Rulers" and "Ascended Masters" are in fact fallen angels. Incidentally, the scriptures warn of a satanic hierarchy of rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers over this present darkness, spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
Benjamin Crème proclaims himself the messenger of Maitreya in much the same role as John the Baptist, the messenger who prepared the way for Jesus Christ in the scriptures (Malachi 3:1; Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3; 11:10). Crème has been promoting the appearance of the so called World Teacher, Maitreya, through Share International since 1975. He travels extensively as a speaker and lecturer promoting Maitreya, claiming to be in direct telepathic contact with a Master of Wisdom who gives him access to up-to-date information on Maitreya's emergence. Crème has been a lifelong student of the writings of Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey, both of whom were Luciferians.
Share International dismisses the Biblical account of Lucifer or Satan and his relationship with human beings as a complete misinterpretation. Lucifer is described as a great Angel of Light:
"Lucifer is the name of a great Angel, not an upstart in heaven who revolted against God and was put down into the nether regions as the Devil. That is a complete misinterpretation. Lucifer means light, and comes from the Latin lux, lucis, meaning light. It is the name of the Angel Who ensouls the human kingdom; every person, therefore, is a fragment of Lucifer. According to the esoteric teaching, the human souls individualized 18-and-a-half million years ago. Lucifer, the Oversoul, diversified itself, and each fragment became individualized."
These individualized human souls descended from the soul plane into incarnation. The 'fall' of Adam and Eve from paradise is the symbolic representation of this event; it has nothing to do with the Devil or with Lucifer as an evil entity but with the divine nature of humanity itself as souls.”{2}
Both Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey claimed to have received teachings from "ascended master" Djwal Khul who is professed by theosophists to work on furthering the spiritual evolution of our planet. Alice Bailey authored twenty four books published by the Lucis Trust (formerly Lucifer Publishing) telepathically through Djwal Khul.
The Great Invocation is a mantra channelled to Alice Bailey in 1937 through Djwal Kuhl. Translated into over eighty languages, it is aggressively promoted by the Lucis Trust and Share International as a New Age alternative to the Lord's Prayer. Share International describe the Great Invocation as a daily potent technique of invoking the energies which would transform the world and prepare for the coming of Maitreya, the Christ.{3}
Alice Bailey: "This new Invocation, if given widespread distribution, can be to the new world religion what the Lord's Prayer has been to Christianity and the twenty-third Psalm has been to the spiritually minded Jew."{4}
World Invocation Day aka the Christ Festival/The Festival of Goodwill has been observed every year by millions of people since 1952 on the day of the June full moon. This year it will be held on May 21st. Those participating in this day are encouraged to use the Great Invocation as a vehicle to lay the groundwork for Maitreya's coming: "The Great Invocation was given to humanity by Maitreya the Christ as a potent technique of invoking the energies which would transform the world and prepare for his coming." {5} Light is a major theme of the invocation, a reference to Lucifer (Hebrew helel) meaning "shining one, light bearer" (Isaiah 14:12). This is consistent with Paul's description of Satan as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).
Lucis Trust: "It (the Great Invocation) is an instrument of power to aid the Plan of God find full expression on Earth." {6}
Alice Bailey: "Prepare men for the reappearance of the Christ. This is your first and greatest duty. The most important part of that work is teaching men—on a large scale—to use the Invocation so that it becomes a world prayer and focusses the invocative demand of humanity." {7}
H Blavatsky: “Lucifer is divine and terrestrial light, the 'Holy Ghost' and 'Satan,' at one and the same time... And now it stands proven that Satan, or the Red Fiery Dragon... and Lucifer, or 'Light-Bearer,' is in us: it is our Mind -- our tempter and Redeemer, our intelligent liberator and Saviour from pure animalism..." {8}
Alice Bailey: "It is these Mysteries which Christ will restore upon His reappearance..... thus reviving the churches in a new form, and restoring the hidden Mystery." {9}
The above quote by Alice Bailey is very alarming when we consider that ecumenism, New Age Eastern mysticism and Gnosticism are flooding most Christian denominations, including the evangelical church at the expense and neglect of the Word of God.

Share International is backed by the United Nations:
"Share International Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) in association with the Department of Public Information at the United Nations." {10}
Benjamin Crème: "Through the Masonic initiation and certain esoteric groups will come the process of initiation. In this coming age millions of people will take the first and second initiation through these transformed and purified institutions." {11}
Albert Pike: "LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light…Doubt it not!" {12}
Interestingly, Crème states that Maitreya will not be a "religious leader". The biblical description of ten horns and seven heads indicates that the Antichrist, aka the beast, will be a political leader. He will achieve worldwide control through his plan for "peace". The false prophet, the second beast, will be a religious figure however, giving supposed "authenticity" to the first beast through signs and wonders (Revelation 13:13). The Antichrist will demand worship and he will set up the abomination of desolation halfway through a seven-year treaty with many (Israel). (Daniel 9:27; 11:31; Matthew 24:15; Revelation 13:12-15). This will mark the beginning of the great tribulation halfway through Daniel's seventieth week (Matthew 24:21).
Maitreya calculates to 666 both in Hebrew and Greek. In fact all seven variations of the spelling of Maitreya in the Hebrew calculate to 666.

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. (Revelation 13:16-18)
British-born American Raj Patel has been singled out by Crème as a candidate for Maitreya following an announcement of Maitreya's first public appearance in January 2010. In some ways Raj Patel does seem to have the right credentials for Maitreya, though I would not hang this diabolic label on him as others have. Patel is an award-winning writer, activist, and academic with a formidable CV. He has been employed by the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and the United Nations.{13} His itinerary includes speaking events at various academic institutions including The Whole Earth Summit about Love, Purpose, & the Food Movement {14} Patel's book Stuffed and Starved is said to be: "The product of a brilliant mind, and a gift to a world hungering for justice."{15} Actually Patel has denied being Maitreya - he refers to himself as an athiest Hindu. Oddly enough though, his denial may add to the speculation rather than quell it: He (the beast) will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all. (Daniel 11:38) Certainly, I can see the reasons for the speculations about Raj Patel, but it is premature to theorize at this point. If he begins to gain momentum in the political arena, and in particular within the United Nations, then I may begin to wonder. My own view is that the identity of the Antichrist will be revealed by Christ to the faithful believers before the prewrath rapture. (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. (Matthew 24:3-5)
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2 :9-12)
This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:11-12)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Your article is fascinating, thank you for all the research you do, keeping us abreast of events in these last days, you really are a faithful servant for the Lord Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anonymous God bless
ReplyDeleteI have been drawn to this same conclusion recently. I believe that the "great deception" anticipated by Modern Christians fits well into the powers and wonders to be performed by Maitreya. They believe he will fulfill Pentecost 33 when he is able to speak into the minds of those not in Christ Jesus.
