(An excerpt) We present a selection of quotations on the theme of `World change' from Maitreya (Messages from Maitreya the Christ), Benjamin Creme's Master (A Master Speaks), and Benjamin Creme's writings. History reveals that evolution proceeds but slowly; nevertheless, in this coming epoch, man will outstrip, by far, the pace achieved by his most illustrious ancestors. Profound changes in man's social life and organisation will release energies hitherto untapped, and unleash upon the world a whirlwind of transformation. Thus will it be. Thus will men meet the measure of their promise and unfold the powers for so long dormant and still. Creative change will be the keynote of this future time, gathering to itself all possibilities for good. Creative change, men will find, is the basis of life and the origin of cycles. In harmony with the cosmic flow, men will construct a civilisation in which time will be no more; "where no two days are alike"; where the arts of life and Being walk together hand in hand. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from `The time ahead') *** We are about to enter an era in which the innate spiritual nature of humanity will begin to express itself in a mass form. Countless millions throughout the world will awaken to the true purpose of their lives. A deeper, more soundly-based attitude to life will develop and people will recognise themselves as souls souls in incarnation. They will come to understand the purpose of their incarnation, and, more and more, they will take a conscious part in their own evolution, creating modes of freedom and justice which this world has never before seen. Freedom and justice, and therefore peace, will allow the divine, spiritual aspect of humanity to come to the fore and be given expression, not only as a religious experience, but in every department of life. In politics, economics and education, in art and science, the inner awareness of our spiritual nature will increasingly be demonstrated. (Benjamin Creme, Maitreya's Mission Vol Three) *** Allow Me to show you the way into the New Time; to outline for you the glories, which, if you will, can be yours. Man is made to serve both God and man, and only through that correct service can the path to God be trodden. Make it your task to take upon yourselves the task of reorientation, reconstruction and change. Each man is a lighthouse and sheds abroad his light for his brother. Make bright your lamp and let it shine forth and show the way. All are needed, every one. No one is too small or young to take part in this Great Plan for the rescue and the rehabilitation of our world. Resolve to do this and be assured that My help will not be withheld. (Maitreya, from Message No.13) *** Many expect Maitreya and the Masters to right all wrongs and to transform the world. That They will show the way, guide and inspire, cannot be gainsaid. That Their light and wisdom will be placed at the service of humanity is equally true. But the work of transformation must be undertaken by humanity itself, cheerfully accepting the changes and sacrifices which must ensue. Only through such willing acceptance can the changes take hold and create the conditions for a new and better life for man. To lead the way, and to build the foundations of the new age structures, are emerging now the trained architects of the coming civilisation. Recognise them by their desire to serve, their wisdom and their manifested love. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from `The emergence of greater servers') *** There is no doubt of the new spiritual awakening which is everywhere taking place, which must eventually lead to an era of world brotherhood the keynote of the coming age of Aquarius. What is happening now is the outcome of inner forces, which are effecting great changes in human thinking and consciousness. This will result in the complete reorganisation of the world's institutions and social structures which no longer answer man's true needs. Throughout the world the new approaches to reality are emerging, and the new values which should govern our life in the coming age are beginning to be defined. This will entail the reorganisation of our political, economic, and financial systems along more rational and just lines. (Benjamin Creme, The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom) *** The time has come to begin the process of change, to transform the life of men in such a way that the God in man shines forth. This, My friends, is not difficult of accomplishment for within you all sits such a Divine Being. My task will be to evoke from you that Shining Light, and take you to Its Source. My Masters work also in Their various centres and through Them proceeds the Plan. My work is to organise that Plan in such a way that the least cleavage results. Much that is loved must go. Cling not to the old forms. Much will depend on man's ability to renounce these outworn structures and to create a new and simpler world. (Maitreya, from Message No.74) *** The world is going to be changed, above all, by the countless millions of people, men and women everywhere, of goodwill. It is precisely the people of goodwill who, in the first place, will respond to Maitreya. He will potentise that goodwill. He will confirm in them their attitude to life and will so potentise it that He will build a world public opinion against which no government on Earth can stand. In this way, through an educated, correctly led, potentised goodwill of the masses, the changes in the world will take place. (Benjamin Creme, Maitreya's Mission Vol Three) *** My Teaching is simple, as you know: Love, Justice and correct Sharing are necessary for man to live. Those around Me now, in My centre, are learning this, are responding to My Call and awakening to the promise of the future. For you too shall this be so, for within you now I see the same divine intention. Therefore, My friends, fear not for My Mission. My plan is to come before the world so soon that only the most abject mind will deny My Presence. Great, even now, are the changes which occur: the nations grow together in a new bond of harmony. Witness for yourselves these events. When My face is seen on a wider scale, this transformation will gain a new impetus, and much, quickly, will be achieved. (Maitreya, from Message No.83) *** When men look back to this time they will see it as a stepping-stone to Grace. Today's chaotic turmoil is nothing less. From this turmoil will emerge the new forms which will grace the new civilisation new and better forms which will provide for men everywhere, and gratify the hearts of everyone. Man, himself, is undergoing such stimuli that he may well feel nervous of the future. He sees and understands little of the enormous changes which are already under way and clings vainly to the past. Soon, this fear and nervousness will be replaced by courage and commitment to the work of transformation. Under the guidance of Maitreya and His Group men will lay the cornerstones of the new and better life of which, in their various ways, all men dream. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from `Man's emerging divinity', SI June 2009) *** This world is in process of change. It is going through a temporary period of extreme trouble and violence and manifested hatreds. But new energies are pouring into the planet all the time, particularly a great energy from a cosmic avatar called the Spirit of Peace or Equilibrium. This avatar works precisely with the Law of Action and Reaction, which we call the Law of Karma. Under this law, action and reaction are opposite and equal. Out of the present violence and discord, hatred and turbulence, we will enter an era of tranquillity and peace, mental and emotional poise, and an established harmony, which will transform the whole world. (Benjamin Creme, The Ageless Wisdom Teaching) *** The new civilisation will be built upon the foundations of the past, but, necessarily, much of the old must be swept away, corrupt and useless as it is. For those with eyes to see, the new indications are already evident. Wherever men turn their eyes today, a new landscape presents itself, new ideas engage the mind, new structures take tentative shape. A world in flux is transforming itself, the growing pains of change are felt by all. Into this situation has come the Christ, eager to assist men in their hour of need. That He can help there is no doubt, but men must want the changes He will advocate and implement them of their own free will. Naught will be forced and naught imposed, for otherwise the Law would be infringed. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from `The reordering of priorities') *** There is a complete transformation coming which has to take place at the grassroots level; and it has to satisfy and be real for everyone, otherwise it would not last. The changes have to be logical. They have to be fast but slow enough for people to accommodate to them, so that there will be the minimum disruption, at any given time, of the existing social order. However, the changes will be so far-reaching that if you were coming from Mars in 25 years' time, you would see a completely transformed world, a world in which the people have come of age, have made their voices heard. Who pulled down the Berlin Wall? It was the people, not the politicians. (Benjamin Creme, The Great Approach) *** The world is poised between the old and the new; the past and the future, and people hold their breath for an indication of the outcome. The signs are there in abundance for all to see, yet many refuse to see in them the hope they crave, and diminish, thereby, their happiness and calm. Have no fear of the future for it will be, if man so wills, greater and more beautiful than can be imagined, greater by far than man's highest dreams. The uncertainty and anguish, the pain of loss and change, are but the birth pangs of a new and better world struggling to be born. (Benjamin Creme's Master, from `Man's birthright awaits him') *** All goes well, augurs well for the future. My plans proceed apace and galvanise mankind. Wherever you may look in the world today, you will find change. From top to bottom, the fabric of the old and decaying order is rent. From this can we derive much satisfaction, for despite the pain involved in this process, a new and better world emerges. Therefore, My friends, take comfort from this fact and look to the future with hope.
