| The rise of people power |
| by Benjamin Creme’s Master |
| When all is said and done, there is but one way to describe the present international situation: chaotic. Power-hungry warmongers, reluctant ‘agnostics’ and self-appointed heroes, eager to save the world, struggle to win the support of the people for their various points of view. The voice of the people struggles to be heard amid the tumult but, more and more, is a factor to be reckoned with. |
| In many countries, vast throngs demonstrate their opposition to a forced and unfair confrontation, and express their fears of a terrible aftermath. |
| Throughout history, similar situations have arisen again and again, but only very seldom has the will of the people, even when directly involved, been an important factor in the deliberations and decisions made. In recent centuries, only in the great transforming actions of revolution has the people’s voice been central to the action, and made its mark on the time. |
| Today, once again, the moment has come for the people’s voice to be heard. Today, once more, it is essential that the needs of people everywhere for justice, freedom and peace are heard and recognized by the wielders of reckless power. |
| These dangerous men, caught up in the glamour of their power, must realize that the time for war is past, that humanity longs for peace and a security quickly vanishing. The little ‘Napoleons’ must be told that their days of power are over; that the times have robbed them of all relevance; and that the power now lies with those who serve the true needs of the people. |
| When Maitreya enters the fray, He may at first go unheeded in the hectic events which daily drain men of serenity and calm. Soon, however, men will find that their thoughts and needs are being heard and given voice by a mind more thoughtful and persuasive than their own. In this way they will feel emboldened and join together the better to be heard. |
| Maitreya will address their most urgent needs, their deepest hopes and fears. He will speak for all men, for people everywhere, and will thus make known the quality of the new society which inwardly satisfies the dreams and expectations of all. |
| Soon, indeed, will Maitreya enter, openly, the lives of men. He is well prepared and eager for the challenge which lies before Him, and His courage will strengthen those who can respond. From His great heart will flow the love which it is His nature to bestow, and when men are ready He will declare His name and office. Thus will the Great Lord manifest His close relation to men and women everywhere, and thus, too, will He fulfil the trust which men, for ever, have placed in Him. |

Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Build a Legacy that Matters
|
|
|
|
This new thought-provoking book by Rutger Bregman, originally published in Dutch, is now available in English. A review by Dutch correspondent Corné Quartel appeared in the September 2024 issue of Share International magazine.
|
|
“The UN Summit of the future in New York is coming up in September [2024], with the aim of finding international consensus and solutions for a better tomorrow. At the same time, many people are wondering impatiently, ‘When can we finally expect any real transformation for the good of all?’
|
|
It seems that the greatest threat to the world is not the climate crisis, escalating conflicts or economic inequality, but people’s inertia – passive inaction against the injustices in the world. Are we paralyzed by the machinations of a system that values the pursuit of material success over human values, justice and the planet? The world is on fire, and democracy and the rule of law are under attack. Shouldn’t we be more ambitious morally?
|
|
Exactly this is addressed by Dutch historian, Rutger Bregman, in his new book Moral Ambition: ‘The greatest waste of our time is the waste of talent. There are millions of people who could help make the world a better place but don’t; people who got stuck in pointless or just plain harmful jobs. There’s an antidote to that sense of emptiness; it’s called moral ambition.’” [read the full article]

Colombia has established a pioneering legal framework giving Indigenous communities full self-governing authority – including public budgets and administrative power – across vast Amazon territories. The new presidential decree culminates a 30-year struggle for autonomy, positioning Colombia ahead of other Latin American nations that typically only grant land titles without governance rights.

England has protected the sweeping Pennine landscapes (the inspiration for the Brontë sisters) by creating the Bradford Pennine Gateway, connecting eight nature sites across 1,274 hectares. The reserve safeguards the literary sisters' creative inspiration while providing green space access for one of Britain's most nature-deprived cities. The protected area preserves rare wildlife, peat bogs, heathlands and wetlands.

India's Supreme Court has declared inclusive digital access a fundamental right to life and liberty, ordering 20 improvements to make identity verification accessible for marginalised groups. The ruling, stemming from a petition by acid attack survivors, establishes that bridging the digital divide is now a constitutional imperative – not merely policy discretion – particularly benefiting rural populations and persons with disabilities.

Note: Even in progressive journalism like Fix the News, credit for positive change often goes to governments, scientists, or institutions. Yet behind many final policy shifts there is behind-the-scenes, long-term grassroots activism, civic pressure, and/or people-powered movements which drive these changes.

| Voice of the people |
“Join together with groups and work to create the ‘voice of the people’. Add your voice to the voice of all the other people – the ordinary people not in positions of glamorous power and illusionary wisdom. Add your weight by marching on demonstrations whenever they are arranged. Build up the concept of ‘the people’s voice’ – which eventually will be the most powerful force in the world when it is educated by the ideas of Maitreya, focused by Maitreya, approaching the various problems of humanity in a realistic way. This will build up the most powerful force: of an educated, focused, world public opinion. Add your voice to the voices of the countless millions. … Earth is about at the halfway point, in the middle of the fourth round. At that point a planet begins to find its course, its destiny. Its people begin to wake up. This is happening in the world today. Humanity is waking up from a long sleep in which it lost contact with reality, with the purpose and meaning of life on Earth. It became deeply embedded in the profound materialism in which it is still involved to this day. Maitreya has come to awaken humanity.”

Sacramento Psychic and Healing Arts Fair
|
|
|
The Sacramento Psychic and Healing Arts Fair (previously the New Earth Expo) was held on July 12-13 at the Wyndham Hotel in Sacramento. It features psychics, healers, vendors, and speakers. Attendance was excellent both days, and the location of the booth attracted traffic from two different directions. We distributed about 150 mini-scrolls with excerpts from Messages from Maitreya the Christ. It seemed that each scroll surprisingly fit each person’s circumstance. In one particularly noteworthy example, a young girl, about 10 years old, accompanied by her mother, selected a scroll. After reading it, she was beaming, and read it to her mother, who also smiled, and then read it to us. The message on the scroll said (to paraphrase), "No one is too young to help in the construction of a New World.” We were all just amazed that it fit her so perfectly.

A new speaker from our group, Susana Atwood, delivered a talk with an emphasis on sharing the world’s resources, followed by a brief explanation of the reappearance and a Transmission Meditation. The talk was reasonably well attended with 14 people present as it began. It drew on her experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer, and in fact it was this experience that made Susana herself so drawn to Maitreya’s teachings. What was different from so many of the Share talks I’ve attended over the years was that Susana included a discussion and had arranged the chairs in a circle to facilitate it. She asked the audience how they themselves would imagine sharing the world’s resources. It was a lively discussion.

We have been conscientious in letting people know that Sacramento offers a combined in-person and Zoom Transmission in the evening and that those who are interested can join the meditation right away. We ask for their contact information and contact them directly afterwards, by telephone or email. –SR

Hearts can heal
Scientists at the HeartMath Institute in the United States have reached the conclusion that each heart is capable of affecting Earth’s electromagnetic field, the information carrier for all living beings; accordingly, a collective of hearts is able to influence all life on the planet, both positively and negatively.1
Prior to this, beginning in 1978, a number of scientific experiments were conducted in the United States that confirmed the fact that if a few thousand people meditate for a length of time with the aim of having a positive impact on a certain territory, the result will be statistically measurable: the number of crimes, acts of violence, and death rate will decrease.2 In 1993, it was scientifically determined that a meditating group of 2,500 people could influence 1.5 million.3 So what then might be the impact of the tens of millions of people involved in a war?”

The hands-on experience of the oneness of life which esotericist and author Vera Stanley Alder (1898-1984) describes in her autobiography, From the Mundane to the Magnificent, concludes with a vision of the future of our planet which she was granted.
|
|
Witnessing a world that she describes as “very desirable and ideal” she cannot help but wonder “what could possibly happen to change the world so much?”
|
|
Her teacher answers: “Mankind has determined, with his famous free-will, to learn his lessons the hard way, through the stimulation of almost outrageous suffering and degradation.
|
|
But evolution must go on, and its stimulation will eventually stir up humanity so that all the dregs and repressions will rise to the surface.
|
|
Thus people will be shown their present state so clearly that a worldwide reaction, revulsion, and aspiration will take place.”
