Benjamin Creme Quotes
page 3

Benjamin Creme was a Scottish artist, author, esotericist, and editor of Share International magazine.He asserted that the Second Coming, prophesied by many religions, would come in the form of Maitreya, the World Teacher. Maitreya is the name Buddhists use for the future Buddha, but Creme claimed that Maitreya is the teacher that all religions point towards and hope for, as well as the Head of the Spiritual Hierarchy on Earth. Other names for him, according to Creme, are the Christ, the Imam Mahdi, Krishna, and the Messiah.

Creme identified Maitreya as the World Teacher for the present cosmological cycle, the Aquarian Age. Expressing the Christ Principle, Maitreya is said to be immortal and omniscient. Creme also maintained that Maitreya had descended from the Himalayas, then moved to London on 19 July 1977. When speaking of Maitreya, Creme insisted that Maitreya was not a religious teacher in the traditional sense, but rather "an educationalist in the widest sense of the word, advocating changes in our political, economic and social life... He comes to show that the spiritual life can be lived in every department of human living – not alone in the religious field."

“How do we overcome our grief, pain, and our fears of our memory of abuse that traps us in time?... The way to do it is to give it up; do not identify with it. Ask yourself: “Am I this memory?” Obviously you are not. While you identify with your memory and pain, your grief, with the abuse that is trapping you.”
