The picture reproduced on the cover is ‘Vision’

by Benjamin Creme, 1961. Inspired by writings of

incent van Gogh, Benjamin Creme envisioned

the art of the future as depicted in this painting. In

the centre is the inner spiritual fire of Cosmos

embodied by the Cosmic Egg, above an altar shape

– as if presenting itself to humanity through some

agency

, perhaps of religion but in this case through

art.

December 2021

In the December 2021 Share International

In this issue, we reprint two articles written by Benjamin

Creme’s Master, one in 2004 and the other in 2009. Both are

apt, providing as they do vital guidance; both show us our

predicament and offer help – if only… “All that is required is

the request from man himself. All that is needed is the

readiness to accept the advice and wisdom of the Brotherhood,

and to change direction.”

After the UN COP26 Summit in Glasgow, pundits, activists

and scientists are analyzing the outcomes. There was so much

the world hoped for, there was much more that could have

been achieved; while a few small but significant breakthroughs

were made, we, the public spectator, are left feeling saddened,

our hopes for a ‘change of direction’ deferred. Activists dismiss

the summit deliberations as ‘more hot air’ and are determined

to carry on in people’s forums and ongoing campaigns to

secure the planet’s future.

This month we have provided articles expressing the hopes

and demands of people wanting change; we felt obliged,

however, to show the shameful effects of a divided world,

whereas Maitreya’s advice – to share the world’s resources –

would solve most major problems at a stroke. There is no

doubt that the world is changing for the better, that there is

forward momentum and the help of the Masters is there for

the asking. It is also a fact that suffering and misery are still

with us and this month’s Compilation stresses the need for us

to make real and concrete our ideals. Our intentions may be

good but the lack of worldwide commitment and consensus

spells the ongoing destruction of our planet, while for refugees

it means a struggle for survival – whether on the

Mediterranean or the English Channel in overcrowded boats, in

sub-zero temperatures in no-man’s-land between Belarus and

Poland or dying in drought-ridden Madagascar or war-torn

Yemen. The story about ‘Little Amal’ touches the best in all;

she represents the migrant – the stranger knocking at the

door.

At this time of the year, the symbols of hope of a better

future are cherished. Could we hope that Maitreya was with

the activists and the delegates in Glasgow, negotiating for our

future and that of the planet? Could it be that “Men

everywhere are at last ready for a new interpretation of the

meaning and purpose of life, for sharing, justice and peace…”?
