The "Day of Declaration"

Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there,
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round, and did it have a motor?
Or...was it something…different?
– Frank Zappa, "Inca Roads"



Have you seen this man?

Probably not. He's that damned, ellusive Pimpernel of the New Age Movement (a.k.a., the old Theosophist Movement). He's "Lord Maitreya." And perhaps, if the Military-Occult Complex has its way, he may soon be coming to a pineal gland near you.

Here's a disclaimer, before I get into this.

Everytime I start one of these threads, I wonder how big a mistake I'm about to make. Not because I could embarrass myself on the Internet. (It would take nude photos to do that, and I don't work blue.) Rather, and simply, because I could be profoundly wrong. Whenever dealing with the Highly Weird, that's a high probability. As I've said before, all the conclusions I draw must be provisional, because there's too much I don't know to be definitive about anything but my ignorance.

And so, as Rod Serling would say: Submitted for your approval....

Look Out - Here Comes "Maitreya"

So, who is he, and why should we care? The second question may be more easily answered than the first. But let's start with the who, as best we can.

Maitreya is said to be an "Ascended Master" - a "Secret Chief" - who, in 1977, took human form and left his "ancient retreat in the Himalayas" to reside in the Indo-Pakistani community of London. "He has been living and working there, seemingly as an ordinary man, his true status known to relatively few," according to Share International, the non-profit organization dedicated to preparing the world for his lordship. When the world is ready - and desperate enough - Maitreya's "Day of Declaration" will arrive, on which he will telepathically communicate his reality to the world. Voila - instant karma. Share International says "at this time of great political, economic and social crisis, Maitreya will inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, and global cooperation."

Maitreya's emergence has been slow and fitfull, supposedly to avoid infringing humanity's free will, though Share lists numerous miraculous appearances around the world. Curiously, "in most cases, he has magnetized water in the vicinity before he appeared." (Crop circles - those that are not obvious hoaxes - also often demonstrate bizarre magnetic properties.) And curiouser: "The people before whom he appears are in every case fundamentalists of one persuasion or another. Denominationally they vary tremendously but the consistent factor is that they are all extremely dogmatic in their beliefs. Maitreya appears to them to soften them up. These are the groups from whom, throughout the world, he expects the major opposition and rejection."

The most dramatic and best documented of his appearances occurred in Nairobi, in 1988. Here is the Share account, while others can be read on this page, compiled by someone who believes something quite different about Maitreya.

Pardon me, comin' through: Maitreya as Jesus, in Kenya


Editor of the Kenya Times, Job Mutungi, was an eyewitness. In the June 22, 1988 edition, he wrote:

Worshippers were busy singing Mungu ni Mwema, a popular Swahili hymn, when Mary Akatsa interjected. She announced that God had spoken to her and told her to "await a miracle because a very important guest would be coming to give her a very vital message." People "braced themselves for the unknown" while others stared blankly at her, their mouths agape with awe and bewilderment.

Five minutes later, she asked those who were singing and dancing to stop as the long-awaited message had arrived. "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus of Nazareth!" went the loud whispers from the crowd as they raised up their hands in submission and divine welcome.



The tall figure of a barefooted, white-robed and bearded man appeared from nowhere and stood in the middle of the crowd. He was walking slowly towards the new church building away from the tent. Mary walked with him, side by side.
...
I looked at my watch. It was 4.15 pm. Her voice was drowned by cries and loud moans of "Jesus! Jesu. Yeeesu! You have come. Welcome Jeesus! Wash our sins. Help us Jeesus!" For many, it was the last prayer. It appeared to them the "Son of Man" had at last fulfilled His promise of coming back to earth. They knelt down in emotional prayers in a frantic effort to save their souls at the 11th hour. A man lying near to me urinated in his trousers. But I stared back at the stranger in the meeting without blinking. Strange, sporadic light wafted on top of his turbaned head, his feet and his entire body.

Maitreya, in the guise of Jesus, spoke "clear Swahili, which had no traces of accent," and is said to have vanished before witnesses after indicating he wished to return to Heaven.

The Curious Mr Creme

Maitreya's herald, Benjamin Creme:


Apart from the odd miraculous apparition, Maitreya keeps a low profile. He doesn't give interviews, though they are forever being promised. Rather, he communicates telepathically with Englishman Benjamin Creme, who serves as Maitreya's official mouthpiece. Creme has spent decades travelling the world, lecturing and meditating, and presenting "overshadowings" of Ascended Masters. Incredibly, though he's devoted the latter part of his life to being Maitreya's John the Baptist, Creme claims to have never physically met Maitreya.

In his The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom, Creme discloses such early influences upon his thought as Helen Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society (mystical trunk to esoteric branches such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley's OTO), and Alice Bailey, co-founder of the Lucifer, and later Lucis, Trust. Bailey's 1948 volume The Reappearance of the Christ - allegedly given to her by a Tibetan Master - obviously inspired Creme's own work.

Helen Blavatsky and Alice Bailey:


Yet Creme claims his influences have not all been of this world. Interestingly, especially given our speculation regarding the occult provenence of UFOs, and the significance of both the phenomenon and UFO cults to military intelligence, he writes:

In mid-1957, I began to work with a society involved with the UFO phenomenon, which claimed contact with the Space Brothers. With this group I did my first public speaking, but more importantly, discovered my ability to transmit the cosmic spiritual energies from the Space People.... Toward the end of 1958 I withdrew from this society and entered into the closest contact with, and work for, the Space Brothers.

Creme claims that in 1959 he was visited by "space brothers," and ever since has been in telepathic contact with a spiritual master in the Himalayas. His mission, which he chose to accept: herald the coming of Maitreya.

A quick digression: Steven Greer of the "Disclosure Project" - leading proponent of the "benign space brother" theory of UFOs - is embraced by Share. Also, the modern crop circle phenomenon, something also commonly attributed to "ETs" - seems coincident with Maitreya's descent from "his ancient retreat in the Himilayas" and arrival in Britain. This hasn't been missed by Share, which says "the crop circles are created by the phenomenon we call UFOs, and there is a relation between Maitreya and the UFOs." The fact that most crop circles appear in the UK "is an oblique, subtle way of drawing attention to the fact that Maitreya is in England."

Those who are muttering "crop circles - WTF?" should consider that they were important enough to "New Age enthusiast" Lawrence Rockefeller, that he became a leading patron of circle research (as well as of population control), advocating the promotion of the benign, alien intelligence theory of their origin. Asking "Why?" does not seem like an unreasonable question. (Rockefeller was also a supporter of the work of Steven Greer, which - to those so inclined - may suggest Greer is unwittingly more a part of the disinfo problem, than its solution.)

A leading circle researcher and recipient of a Rockefeller grant, Colin Andrews, has had too-close-for-comfort encounters with the CIA. And bonus amateur footage on the DVD of the documentary Crop Circles: Quest for Truth show two British military helicoptors arriving at a fresh circle. One is seen intimidating the "croppies," while the other slowly maneuvers over a ball of white light in the field of grain, which eventually blinks out. While hoaxes may account for up to 80% of today's circles, something - something not extraterrestrial, though not entirely human, but which acts in concert with human intelligence - seems to be trying to get our attention. Something that has the attention of military intelligence.

It would be wrong to proceed without quoting Jacques Vallee, from Messengers of Deception:

Some influential group could well be using various cults as a front for its own purposes. Some occult specialists go beyond this view, and suggest that the UFO phenomenon could even by the device that such a group is using to make its existence felt, to project an image of the future destiny of Man that transcends war, poverty, disease and national government.
...
UFO groups, contactee organizations, many occult sects and various government branches are engaged in a strange sort of game.... The manipulation of the phenomenon may be...in order to use the minds and emotions of the contactees as a means of influencing social beliefs and behavior. If so, who has decided in which direction this behavior should be bent?

Either/Or:


In 1990, Sean David Morton, who says he is a "'Sensitive' or psychic," visited Creme with a documentary film crew. He writes he "went in with no preconceptions or agendas":

While Creme spoke, I could psychically "see" two odd beings standing near him, one small and thick, the other thin and very tall. I had the feeling that they were somehow 'protecting' him from me. I mentioned this to Joe, and he smiled and laughed knowingly. Later he told me that he could "see" these two entities also, being able to see around a few corners himself. Creme does a meditation in which he claims to be "Overshadowed" by the spirits of his "Masters". The first time he did it for us, he said he was overshadowed by a Tibetan with whom he carries on a constant inner and outer dialogue, very much like someone talking with an invisible, imaginary friend, like a new age Jimmy Stewart talking with Harvey, his giant rabbit. When Creme is stumped for an answer, he will stop, close his eyes, listen to some unseeable source, and then respond.

On his first Overshadowing, I closed my eyes and held up my hands, palms outwards, to absorb the healing spiritual energy that would accompany such a manifestation.

What I saw and felt shocked me.

I saw a circular sphere of white, yellowish energy encircle his head, and from it sprouted tentacles of bluish purple Neptunian colors. I suddenly realized that it was exactly the same image that covered the walls on the multiple canvases of his artwork. With my hand outstretched the hair at the nape of my neck began to bristle. To say I felt nothing wouldn't do it justice. It would be more accurate to say I felt "nothingness", as if a hole had simply opened in the space/time continuum that was chilling, and seemed to suck the energy from all three of us.

Later in the interview, he agreed to do an Overshadowing from Lord Maitreya himself. Creme says he has never personally met or seen Maitreya, but that he knows where he now lives and could do so at anytime. He felt that it was better for his development if he carried on having not seen him, "Those having NOT seen, yet still believing" being more blessed. This time I gave him my moonstone ring to hold and "charge". I had gotten the ring in India and it possesses certain mystical properties of its own, which I am not free to discuss. As The Overshadowing began, the same tentacled manifestation occurred, but this time the tendrils where a flaming, hellish red and yellow.

The three of us were almost knocked unconscious by the energy drain in the room. I began to get cold, woozy and a sick, and it wasn't due to the terrible English food! The same numbing cold filled me. When he gave me back my ring, it was ICE COLD! It stayed that way for three days, where it needed heavy purification and re-energizing. All of the above are just my opinions and personal subjective observations, and they should be taken as such.

"It would be more accurate to say I felt 'nothingness.'" Or, in the Enochian tongue, "I felt AFFA," which was also the name of the self-professed "space patrol leader" channelled by Naval Intelligence in 1959.

There's another interesting account here of the "overshadowing" phenomenon, as witnessed at the end of a Creme lecture by an evangelical Christian (who appears to have gone scouting for the Antichrist):

It wasn't long at all before I was the object of Benjamin Creme deep, unearthly gaze. His eyes seemed to be looking through the back of my head. I blinked to clear my vision, but it was still there. Perhaps I had been staring too long, and my vision was turning blurry? I glanced away, a few feet from his head, to the potted plant next to him. It was gone. I looked back at Benjamin, and WHAM! There it was again... The man was bathed in a strange glow. It was golden in color, and it extended to my peripheral vision. It was as if there were two layers of images. One was the normal image of a man sitting with his palm facing me, and the second was the same image, yet golden toned and softly defocused. The two images appeared to move against each other slightly in a random pulsing behaviour. The overall look was a bit similar to the old Hollywood pin-up glamour queens of the 1940's... in perfect, yet soft focus.
...
When he was looking directly at me, the glow was quite strong, absolutely unmistakable. If I was to take my eyes off his body, even by a few feet, the glow stopped abruptly. It was not a sleepy vision type thing, for the moment that I would look back at him the glow would trigger again immediately! I could turn it on and off like a switch, just by shifting my eyes. Even if I only saw him from the corner of my eye, the glow was not there... but look back, and boom. Full-on glow. The next thing that I noticed was that as he gazed around the room, the amount of glow I saw would decrease as he got further off-axis from me. Think of it as a lighthouse. He was emanating the light, it was not being shined on him. I checked, but it was not that kind of illumination anyway. I knew I would see no source lamp of any type, and I was right.
...
As I walked down the hallway to the door, I sidled up alongside a woman of about 40.

I quietly asked her about the end of the evening.

Me: What were those last words that he said?
Her: Uhhmmmm, I think... thank you?
Me: Oh, okay...(pause)...did he... glow?
Her: YES!!! (her eyes go very wide, and she catches her breath)
Me: Did it stop if you looked away?
Her: Yes! and it was golden....and... and....

Benjamin Creme, "Lord Maitreya" and Wayne Peterson:


Maitreya's Diplomat

Though he's Maitreya's "official" mouthpiece, Creme does not stand alone. Perhaps more curious than Creme is American Wayne Peterson, a 32-year career diplomat, with postings in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and the recently retired director of the Fulbright Scholarship Program. Unlike Creme, Peterson's actually met Maitreya.

Peterson strikes a curious note in this 2000 interview, in which he suggests just how deep this goes, seemingly without realizing it himself:

I can publicly talk about it for a very good reason and that reason is, nobody knows who I am, really. My name is not a household word. But most of the people that Maitreya is working with are people whose name would be recognized by millions of people, if not internationally, at least in their own country. I will tell one little story.

I was invited one day not too many years ago, when a friend of mine got together 16 people more or less in a private residence in Washington. The reason for this was that a delegation from Europe had arrived. All I can say about this delegation is that among it was a man who is a very close friend of the Pope. And you can put two and two together if you like.

The White House was represented at this little dinner and there were people who were very influential in the political plane of things in Washington as well as some lawyers and a few other people. It was my role to talk about the Reappearance of the Christ. This is pretty tough, when you've got one of the men who have the ear of the pope sitting across the table from you and you don't know if he is going to get up and try and ring your neck or not.

It was an attempt to see how much these people knew. Only afterwards did we know that they knew very well about this. I talked on and on and on and not a word was said by anyone. Finally I stopped and said to the host and hostess "I think I have said enough. Doesn't anyone have anything to say?"

They finally prodded this European visitor who knows the pope very well and he said, "I cannot speak about this. It is up for the Holy Father to speak about this. I can only say: we know all about this, this is not new to us."

The party broke up after that and I was the last person leaving. When I was walking across the yard of this huge area that was build for foreign ambassadors, the bushes were moving and someone jumped out of the dark out of these bushes. It was one of the dinner guests who said, "I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't want the other people see me talk to you."

That's how secretive they are. They wouldn't even open up at the dinner party. He said, "I have met this man you are talking about, I see him several times a week." This man who jumped out of the bushes is a man who is a close friend of President Clinton. He is in the White House and dealing with senators on a daily basis. He said that we should meet and talk together and then said to me "You don't understand how big this story is!"

I answered that I believed that I understood this quite well but wasn't able to express everything on that evening. I said that I had also read Benjamin Creme's books and knew that there would be great changes. But he said, "No, you don't understand, it's much bigger than you think!" And I said, "No, I really think I understand how big the Reappearance of the Christ is" and he said, "No, no, it is much bigger." ...he spent five hours telling me about all the contacts he has had with Maitreya.

From the same interview, Peterson's understanding of Maitreya's approaching "Day of Declaration":

On that day Maitreya will go on international television worldwide and telepathically every human being will hear his message for his plan to transform humanity in his or her native language but it will be telepathic. Then he will give what he calls this experience of himself so there will be no doubts in anyone's heart of who he is because people recognize him instantly when he does this.
...
The government we have today will not survive 15 even 10 years after Maitreya's TV address. As much as we may worship our current system and all the other institutions we have build for 2,000 years in the western world under Christianity which then spread to rest of the world: these are not going to exist any longer.

Just as in the old Roman Empire when the new Christian consciousness came in and swept over it. They build new institutions from the ground up because there was nothing the Christian consciousness could use from the old Roman system. But of course, they had several hundreds of years to deal with it, we don't. Our change is going to be more dramatic; we just have a couple of decades at most, to make the transformation.
...
It's that close. It could happen any day. As you might know, Benjamin Creme who is in constant telepathic contact with one of the Masters has said and Maitreya has also said this a number of times that you can be sure, he will appear as soon as you see the American stock market crash. Almost immediately after that he will go on TV and calm the fears and say, "This is a necessary step towards the new world we're moving into."

Transmitting directly to the brain a "divine," We are the world message that leaves no room for doubt sounds to me like "Project Pandora," the application of psychocivilizing technologies, and MindWar.

In another interview, Peterson had this to say about what Maitreya will bring the world:

We have gotten ourselves in so deep over our heads that no nation, no group of people can do enough to pull us back out of this. Maitreya's message is that humanity can be guided back onto the right path and through working with the Masters, bring new technology into our lives to bring these changes about.

Q: What kind of technology?

A: What we need more than anything else right now is a new source of energy. That is something that Maitreya has promised, we are told. I understand that there are scientists working on new types of energy right now that will free us from our use of fossil fuel. All of our nuclear power plants can be shut down and we'll have abundant energy for every village in the world.

So it seems Maitreya's "Day of Declaration" will mean, to an oil-exhausted world, an end to the "hunt for zero point." Or perhaps, rather, an end to the illusion that the hunt is still on.

Further in Peterson's interview, George HW Bush's name appears:

Q: Do you know of any former US presidents that are aware of Maitreya and the work?

A: When I did transmission meditation in Washington DC, we used the house of one of President George Bush's advisors. The man himself was not a member of the group but allowed his housekeeper to host our meetings. One evening, while Mr. Bush was having dinner with his associate, he jokingly asked our group hostess, "Am I going to win this election against Bill Clinton?" and she said "No, Mr. President, Lord Maitreya has already said that you are going to loose." At least he heard it from that one point, but I'm sure he has probably had other contacts with Maitreya as well.

One of Those Things


One of those things. That's all this may amount to. One of those crazy things, that prove to be nothing, and their study simply squandered time. Quite possibly so.

Unfortunately, if it isn't, there may be nothing more important in the world.

In Unshackled, the autobiography of mind control survivor Kathleen Sullivan, she refers to a perpetrator by the pseudonym of "Lucian," whom she describes as a statesman, master hypnotist and paedophile. Sullivan writes that over the years of their association, Lucian confided this to her:

True or not, Lucian told me that Lucis Trust planned to make a man called "Lord Maitreya" their representative to the world, to attract and indoctrinate the masses into the Luciferians' planned world religion (as part of their Aryan-Greco-Roman-Egyptian "New World Order"). Lucian said the Lucis Trust would convince Christians that Maitreya was the reincarnated Messiah, returned to Earth.

Lucian taught several of my alter-states that he and his fellow worshippers were being kept in spiritual darkness along with Lucifer, who took on the persona of the dark lord, Satan, when Jesus Christ stole the light from him.... He explained that some Luciferians had already passed on and become gods. He called them "Ascended Masters." He convinced me that some devotees are able to "channel" the Masters in occult rituals.

Something worth remembering about Luciferians. It may sound backwards and inside-out, given the dark manifestations of their philosophy and magickal workings, but they are essentially cockeyed optimists. They believe they are bringing light to the world, not darkness, and that humanity has a capacity for illumination far beyond that admitted by major religions.

They think they're the good guys. They think they are saving the world.

Benjamin Creme told Sean David Morton that "Hitler was a very high spiritual master," and conceded only after prodding from Morton that his "power may have been 'misused.'"

One of those crazy things.

The symbol of Maitreya:
