| Let there be Light |
| by Benjamin Creme’s Master |
| Each century brings mankind closer to his goal: the demonstration, in all its perfection, of the Light of God. In this way, man becomes what he potentially is – a living God. Each incarnation marks a step cut in the mountain of ascent. With each such experience man adds to his vehicles a modicum of light, subtly changing thereby the vibration of his bodies. When all his bodies are thus vibrating to the frequency of light, the task is completed, the journey ended. From the point of view of man, the journey is over; from the point of view of Those Who have achieved, the journey has but begun. |
| Thus each man and woman makes the metamorphosis from man to god. Out of the chrysalis of matter, with all its limitations, emerges the liberated Master, radiating the Light of God. |
| Across the vastness of the universe, this Light persists; through all dimensions and planes it expresses its nature, conditioned only by the forms in which it shows itself. These forms give access to the Light to those whose consciousness rests in the world of matter, but essentially Light is formless, needing no structure to sustain its Being. |
| Deep within each one of us dwells such a light, awaiting the opportunity to shine forth. Within each glows the potential of all Cosmos. Within each, too, is the will to bring forth that light and thus make manifest the nature of God. That Light and that Will pertain to the soul and come into activity as a result of soul alignment. Seek, therefore, alignment with the soul and bring into manifestation the purpose of God. Search within and find the source of all knowledge and love. Reveal to the world the Light of the soul and join the ranks of those who serve. |
| The world stands ready for more light. The peoples everywhere are thirsty for new knowledge of themselves and of God. Because of this readiness, the Masters have prepared Themselves to inaugurate a new era of Light. Limitless opportunities for progress will be offered to mankind: man will marvel at the discoveries which will open the door to mastery of natural forces; he will stand amazed by the wonder and beauty thus revealed; he will know for certain the fact of God and his relation to that divinity, and will enter willingly into co-operation with the Divine Plan. |
| All of this awaits humanity as it stands at the threshold of the Aquarian Age. This will be an age in which the Divine Plan will flourish once again, bringing man at last into conscious acceptance of his destiny. |
| Many today would doubt this, as they survey a world of cleavage and tension. The problems seem too complex, the divisions too extreme. But precisely then, at the moment of greatest need, comes the Teacher, ready to bring new Light. Such a One is now among you, waiting in the wings, patiently, for the invitation to serve. |
| Release the Light that He brings and enfold all things in holiness. Embrace His Teachings and bring succour to all in need. Manifest His Light and create anew this world. |

From the editor:
|
|
|
We are half way through a year – 2025 – which itself marks the end of the first quarter of the 21st century. As time passes and we move further into a future full of extraordinary potential, each choice, each act and gesture counts now more than ever. People feel it. There is just ‘something’ about our times. We are on the verge of something momentous, something pivotal.
|
|
In his article ‘Let there be light’, Benjamin Creme’s (BC) Master writes: “Each century brings mankind closer to his goal: the demonstration, in all its perfection, of the Light of God.” Isn’t that amazing? We are beings of Light. He goes on: “Deep within each one of us dwells such a light, awaiting the opportunity to shine forth. Within each glows the potential of all Cosmos.”
|
|
Whatever your interpretation of the state of the world at present, however hard and brutal or full of goodwill and cooperation we make the world for each other, it is an incontrovertible fact that beauty, greatness and triumph into Light is the ultimate goal. And yet, right now, we seem to have driven ourselves to the brink of catastrophe in so many ways. Exactly by expressing as much of the Light in ourselves as we can touch, we lift ourselves and help to move the global community towards solutions that must work for all.
|
|
This is not to dismiss or gloss over possible future hardship and the very urgent need to stand for justice, for truth, for the rule of law. Silence is complicity; apathy allows tyranny to grow unchecked. Permitting ourselves to be distracted, letting the ‘bread and circuses’ policies of corrupt leadership entertain or confuse us, delivers the planet and our collective future into the hands of the power-hungry and greedy 1%.

| World Invocation Day – June 11th
|
|
“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.”
|
|
|
— The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, p. 641
|
|
|
“World Invocation Day is a world day of prayer and meditation when men and women of every spiritual path join in a universal appeal to divinity and use The Great Invocation. Together they focus the invocative demand of humanity for the light, the love and the spiritual direction needed to build a world of justice, unity and peace.
|
|
|
Materialistic values have led humanity to a state of profound crisis. Our very survival is threatened, not only by militarism, but by our lack of wisdom and will to feed the hungry, to share our plentiful resources, and to solve the many other critical problems which confront the human family.
|
|
|
Yet the solution exists. One of the greatest insights of our time is that of the interdependence and interrelatedness of all life. Today millions of people share the conviction of an inner spiritual unity within humanity which transcends any outer differences of race, nation and creed. As men and women of goodwill the world over give expression to this conviction in their lives, a process of planetary transformation is taking place. A new civilisation is emerging which embraces all peoples and is founded upon the recognition of our common humanity and right human relations.” — Lucis Trust

During the spring full moons (April, May and June this year), spiritual energies are at their most powerful because of the sun–moon–earth alignment and the potency of these ancient festivals. Group meditation, and particularly Transmission Meditation, provides a unique opportunity for us to invoke these evolutionary energies for spiritual service – something especially helpful during this time of planetary transformation. Transmission group members are encouraged to ‘connect’ with any Share International groups – virtual or in person – at the time/s the groups have chosen. This information is sent to group members in a separate communication.
|
|
|
If you are new to Transmission Meditation, we invite you to join a special Zoom introduction and meditation on Tuesday, June 10, 7:30 pm EDT celebrating the third of these festivals – the Christ festival. Use this link to register through Eventbrite.
|
|
Below we have provided an article from a Master of Wisdom about the importance of these festivals, a brief description of each, and some simple meditation guidelines. You may also wish to sit quietly and meditate on the exact day of each full moon – this month on June 11th.

| The Magnetic Light of the Soul |
“ | Maitreya is the embodied soul of humanity. He embodies in His own Being what we call the Christ Principle, the Christ Consciousness. The Christ aspect is the soul aspect. When it is lit in the human heart, the contact with the soul grows and deepens. That is the light of the soul which you radiate as you serve. What the Master means is that into this lighted domain, with all its problems, has come Maitreya with His greater light. It is the same light, only of greater intensity, naturally, because He is the embodied soul of the world. Awaken that light in yourself. What He means is, respond to Maitreya’s ideas and make them your own. As Maitreya says: “Take Me into yourselves and let Me work through you. Make Me part of yourselves, and show Me to the world.” [Message 10] It is to take the light of Maitreya, the soul, the consciousness aspect, and make it your own. As it grows in you, so will you attract more light from Maitreya. You become a magnet. As you act and serve, the magnet gets more and more powerful, and as it attracts more of that light, so you will become more perfect in serving the world. |

Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
|
|
|
The annual L.A. Times Festival of Books held on the USC campus April 26-27 is always one of our busiest events of the year. Many people stop by our booth, giving us the opportunity to have many meaningful and interesting conversations. People who come to this event are open and receptive to our message. One volunteer felt like she talked to more people than usual this year.
|
|
Benjamin Creme’s books were prominently displayed on our table, along with the four free books download offer. People were impressed by Benjamin Creme's artwork on the covers and were glad to know they could visit the Benjamin Creme Art Museum in L.A. Many people were attracted to photos of Maitreya’s Star and photos of crop circles that were displayed on posters at the front of our booth.
Young people showed great interest in our message and welcomed the material provided about the signs of Maitreya’s presence in the world and His support of all people. A group of Asian people were very interested because they know Maitreya as Maitreya Buddha.
|
|
Two women who attended the event were part of the “Hands Off” group. One was holding a sign and speaking out to the people passing by. In these chaotic times, more people are raising their voices about the situation the world is in. The increasing spiritual energies of Aquarius and the presence of Maitreya and the Masters in the world are inspiring humanity toward new levels of awareness and action. –JC

“One planet, one people, one future”
|
|
|
Co-worker Monte Leach gave a talk at the New Living Expo in San Rafael, California on Sunday, May 11. An audience of 15 listened intently to the presentation, “One planet, one people, one future: A meditation to help the world,” which was given not only on the day of the Wesak Spiritual Festival, but also during the time of Maitreya’s blessing.
|
|
During the talk, as Monte spoke about Maitreya, a staff person walked into the room, and began pouring a pitcher of water containing large ice cubes into another pitcher. The sound was startlingly loud. After a pause, Monte said, “This is a good reminder that Maitreya is the Water Carrier. He brings the Waters of Life to the world.” And in jest, pointing to the gentleman pouring the water, “Perhaps he is Maitreya.”
|
|
The event concluded with a Transmission Meditation, which some co-workers in attendance said was one of the most powerful they had experienced.

How does the light of Transmissions, overshadowings, and blessings actually affect our form and consciousness? How do the inner and outer lights differ and interact?
When you are in a Transmission Meditation group, work at fairs and give lectures, and so on, you are sending out the light of knowledge. You are taking in light and sending out light. Transmission Meditation, plus your activity in relation to this work, or any kind of spiritual work, has an immediate effect on the chakras. It intensifies soul activity and therefore the soul light. This intensifies the light flowing in and out of the etheric body, so that the chakras themselves are stimulated. All of this together, especially in a group situation, creates a state of spiritual tension. Each individual has a greater or lesser degree of spiritual tension. Their worth in the world at any given time, their worth in this work, is measurable in relation to that state of tension. The greater the spiritual tension, the greater the creativity of the individual, the greater their spiritual worth to the world as a whole.
We have to create spiritual tension. Nothing happens without tension. It is as if you have inside yourself a spiritual spring, and everything you do of a spiritual nature (including, of course, Transmission Meditation) winds up the spring, like a clock. It winds to a point where it cannot any longer be wound without snapping. Then it unwinds, and you have a change, a shift in consciousness. Every human being undergoes this same process. Before every expansion of consciousness there has been a period of spiritual tension. The spiritual activity – the overshadowings, the blessings, the Transmission Meditations, the work in the world of a spiritual nature – is enhancing the spiritual endeavour, winding up the spring. Then comes a time when it cannot be wound any more, it lets go, and your consciousness expands. That is how you advance. That is the key to the whole process of expansion of consciousness, and therefore of evolution. The more you transmit (if aligned) the more you act in a spiritual sense, the more you are an educator, the more you are spreading the light of knowledge, of the soul, of wisdom, of the intuition – these lights are all part of Light, and pertain to different aspects of your Being – all of that winds up the clock, increases the spiritual tension.

| “My Elevator Pitch for God” |
|
Thought leaders from around the world – well-known names from a wide range of disciplines – have offered this unique website a 500-word essay on why they believe in God. It could be a lifelong experience or the result of a single “miraculous” event. The website creators answer the question why this topic and why now?: “Because there is unquestionably a groundswell of interest and a real need for a non-religious conversation about God. The world is desperate for meaning, purpose and wisdom.”

We believe you will be amazed and inspired by their words.
