Even in these chaotic and perilous times, there is reason for hope.
Humanity finds itself at a major crossroads: Do we choose the path of selfish separatism and inequality based on greed and competition, leading to the destruction of ourselves and planet Earth, or the path of cooperation and sharing leading to global peace and prosperity?
Here to help us make the correct choice stands a group of Teachers unparalleled in their enlightenment and wisdom, unequaled in their ability to love and to serve. They are the Masters of Wisdom. At their head stands a being of the most extraordinary compassion and insight: Maitreya, the World Teacher. As the one awaited under various names by all major religious traditions, and as a Teacher for all humanity, Maitreya is here — along with the Masters of Wisdom — to guide us safely into the future.
The existence of these great Teachers was first made known in the West in the late 1800’s by Helena Blavatsky, who lived among the Masters of Wisdom in the Himalayas for three years. In the early 20th century, Blavatsky’s work was continued by Alice A. Bailey, and, more recently, by British esotericist and artist Benjamin Creme. All three of these authors and educators were trained by, and worked directly with, the Masters of Wisdom.
According to the Ageless Wisdom tradition, as it is known, these highly advanced Teachers have lived in the remote areas of the world through the ages, helping and guiding humanity from behind the scenes. Through his work over many years, Benjamin Creme made it known that at this critical time for humanity and the planet, the Masters of Wisdom, headed by Maitreya, are coming forward now to live among us and teach us directly.
Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom are teachers in the broadest sense of the word. They have attained mastery over themselves, and as enlightened individuals devote all their time and energy in loving service to humanity.
They are not here to establish a new religion, but to show us how to live together in peace. This is simpler than we imagine, Maitreya has said. The key is an equitable sharing of the Earth’s resources among all the world’s people. Through sharing we lessen global tensions, generate greater trust and cooperation among the nations, and begin to build a world where all have the basic necessities of life and live in balance with the environment.
Unless we share the world’s resources, there will never be economic and social justice in the world. Without justice, no peace. Without peace, little hope for the future, as we have weapons that can destroy all life on Earth—weapons that almost surely would be used in any future widespread conflict.
With the future of the planet at stake, what will it take for us to abandon competition, conflict, and division, and begin to manifest the grand ideals of sharing, justice, and peace?
What’s needed is a change of attitude, a change of consciousness, and above all a change of heart in humanity. It is that which Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom can inspire.
It is a monumental task to be sure. Fortunately, we have the help of monumental figures living among us now—a circumstance, according to the Ageless Wisdom tradition, that has never before taken place in recorded history. This group of enlightened teachers, as they touch the hearts of people everywhere, will galvanize us into action, helping us to lead our leaders toward the creation of a just and peaceful world.
In the millions across the globe who are increasingly voicing their concerns for the health of our planet and demanding change in our political, economic, and social systems, we see this needed change of mind and heart already beginning to take place.
At this crossroads for humanity, the path ahead is up to us. Maitreya has said, “Sharing and Justice, Brotherhood and Freedom are not new concepts. From the dawn of time mankind has linked his aspiration to these beckoning stars. Now, my friends, shall we anchor them in the world.”
Share International, a nonprofit educational organization, provides information about the imminent emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher for the Age of Aquarius, and his group, the Masters of Wisdom, into our everyday world. Maitreya’s focus can be summarized as “Share, and save the world.” His priorities are ample food, shelter, healthcare and education for all the world’s people, as basic rights.
