And Now… A New Star Will Appear in the Sky and Maitreya Will Unfurl???
December 21st, 2008Benjamin Creme has been shoveling the same bullshit since 1982. What’s fascinating to me is that this somehow garners straight laced treatment from the mainstream press, even now!?
For years, I’ve been expecting some kind of Jim Jones style Maitreya mind control operation to commence, but it never happens.
Does the balloon finally go up in December 2008? I doubt it, but nothing would surprise me at this point.
Via: Telegraph:
This week has come encouraging news for anyone with an interest in signs and wonders, or desperate for a chink of light in the prevailing gloom, which probably means most of us: a saviour is at hand.
According to the Share International News Service, in a press release captioned Christmas Miracle, a “large bright star” will be appearing in the sky sometime over the next few days, or weeks, heralding the appearance on “a major US television programme” of the new World Teacher, Maitreya, who will be ushering in a new age of peace, wisdom and understanding. And not before time, I hear you say.
Share International is the organisation founded by Benjamin Creme, the Scottish painter and clairvoyant, and Britain’s most redoubtable millenarian, who has been prophesying the coming of Maitreya for the past 26 years.
He is an erstwhile Theosophist and student of Alice Bailey, whose writings in the 1920s talked of the coming of “the Cosmic Christ”. In 1982, Mr Creme took out full page advertisements in newspapers around the world to announce that Maitreya had arrived in London on a flight from Pakistan, having descended from the Himalayan redoubt where he had been living with a community of ascended Masters, who are watching over Mankind with a concerned eye, and was living among the Asian community.
Mr Creme was told this by one of the Masters, with whom he has been in telepathic communication since 1959 when the Master contacted Mr Creme while he was sitting in the bath.
The announcement of Maitreya’s arrival in London occasioned some excitement among newspapers. But when he failed to materialise, they promptly forgot all about Mr Creme. He is, however, one of the world’s great and indefatigable optimists. Undeterred, at the age of 86 he continues to travel the world, lecturing about the coming of the Maitreya, and publishing his not-for-profit magazine Share International.
I have known Mr Creme for a number of years, and like him enormously. He lives in a modest semi-detached house in Tuffnell Park, north London, with his wife Phyllis, a lecturer. He has a built a shed at the bottom of the garden where a group assembles twice a week for “transmission meditation”. I remember asking him if I might speak to his Master. “Ask away,” he said. I posed a question. Mr Creme was silent for a moment, cocking his head to his Master’s voice, then gave a chuckle. “The Masters,” he explained, “have a wonderful sense of humour.” He then gave me my reply. It was an odd moment.
Maitreya has proved remarkably reluctant to reveal himself. In 1988 he reportedly made a fleeting appearance at a prayer meeting in Nairobi. Since then he has preferred to travel incognito. When I contacted Mr Creme this week (by nothing more miraculous than telephone) to inquire about the imminent appearance, he told me that his Master was able to confirm that the star would be appearing shortly, would be seen by everybody throughout the world and that “around a week” after that Maitreya would be making his appearance on American television. Did he know on what programme? “I do. But I’m not allowed to say.”
When I put it to Mr Creme that the timing of the bright star’s appearance seemed to have a particularly seasonal resonance, he replied: “That’s why we’re calling it a Christmas Miracle.”
I’m not sure what to make of all this. But in the interests of balance, I consulted “The Rapture Index” – “The prophetic speedometer of end-time activity” – which is run by a fundamentalist Christian named Todd Strandberg, a former US air force supply sergeant who lives in Nebraska.
While Mr Creme sees the new age of enlightenment arriving relatively painlessly, The Rapture Index takes an apocalyptic view of the future, regularly totting up all the factors necessary for the final, cataclysmic judgment – war, famine, financial meltdown, “Beast Government” and “false Christs” among them. At this moment, true believers will ascend to heaven in “the Rapture”, leaving the rest of us to… well, you really don’t want to know.
The current reading of the Rapture Index is 156 points. This constitutes “Heavy prophetic activity” – not good, but still a few reassuring notches below the threshold of 160, when you are advised to “Fasten your seat belts”.
None the less, I shall be watching the skies closely over the next few weeks.
I took it as more like “hey, given all the extremely bad financial news these days, let’s do something light and silly about a lovable — if deluded — old coot.” The tone seems tongue-in-cheek to me.
Obama is Maitreya. Here is video proof or at least some darn good disinformation.

Ah, Mr Creme.
Out of curiosity about what I consider a possibly related aspect of the biggest con job to soon be worked on humankind I attended one of his lectures in London around 98-99. Most of what I remember him saying was drawn out waffle about the Maitreya being on his way but there was a point where I sensed something happening, a change in the atmosphere of the room, a blanketing presence.
What I’ve just described could easily be used to communicate what I’ve experienced in venues where what I consider spiritually diametrically opposed views were being proclaimed. The difference in this case was that the blanketing presence felt stale, mildly oppressive and suffocating, imposing itself as if attempting to force the wills of those present.
I acknowledge, of course, that I’m relating my subjective experience of the situation. I’ll refrain from saying more about Creme and other aspects of this story for the moment and wait and see if it unfolds into something more concrete.

Wow! I don’t think I know anyone who has seen Creme personally. Now that you mention it, I listened to him on a radio interview several years ago, and I shrugged it off at the time, but as I was listening to the guy, and thinking, “What a steaming heap of manure, how does anyone fall for this?” a deep chill went through my body and I actually shivered a bit!
Now, I shrugged it off as maybe a bad burrito for lunch or something, but after hearing your story, it makes me wonder
@Dennis:
A while back, I read a Fundamentalist Xtian’s account on his website of his attendance at one of Creme’s public presentations. At the end of the presentation, Creme invoked a process that was called an “overlighting”, IIRC, in which the presence of the “Maitreya” manifests itself by causing people to go into a very brief trance-like state in which the people affected see everything with a sort of golden shimmer, which the Xtian man said he experienced. The Xtian said he felt he had also engaged in some kind of psychic dialogue with…something when he found himself thinking, “Yes, I am [the man’s name]” as if in response to an unspoken query.
@Kevin
Interesting. I’ve experienced things like this too. I’m curious about it: It’s one thing to be there at ground zero, all senses operating, known or unknown. Quite another to sense something when all you’re getting is the soundwaves put out by your radio which have been decoded from the signal which may itself have been encoded from a recording, etc. and yet it seems clear to me this sort of intuitive sensing does occur…unless it was just your burrito 🙂
It took me a little while to figure out where I heard Creme speak: Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1.
@Loveandlight
Unfortunately I can’t remember if Creme invoked anything to initiate the change however I think he might have done something to announce or invite it. But I clearly remember the sense I had once it happened. It is my strongest memory of the evening.
