Who is Maitreya?

He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. 
Christians know him as the Christ, and expect his imminent return. 
Jews await him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; 
Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the 
Imam Mahdi or Messiah. 
 
 
 
Although the names are different, many believe that they all refer to 
the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is 
Maitreya (pronounced my-tray-ah). 
Preferring to be known simply as the Teacher, Maitreya has not come 
as a religious leader, or to found a new religion, but as a teacher 
and guide for people of every religion and those of no religion. 

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. 

He will launch a call to action to save the millions of people who 
starve to death every year in a world of plenty. Among Maitreya's 
recommendations will be a shift in social priorities so that adequate 
food, housing, clothing, education, and medical care become universal 
rights. 

Under Maitreya's inspiration, humanity itself will make the required 
changes and create a saner and more just world for all.

They're probably analyzing the attempt to

formulating how to run the same number once
they accept the fact that most of the TMO's

and that the TMO is going to require a

Call this a prediction, if you want...

This is the Stranger Comes to Town story

in its manifestation as the Cavalry to the 
Rescue story.

I wonder if the Stranger in question is 
really a person, or if it's the Self - 
Brahman?

Not to mention what I call the Beam me up

salvation.

The appeal of this story, in whatever form
it manifests, is that someone else does the
work.

Does it matter? The bottom line, as I see it,
is an abdication of personal responsibility
and a reliance on somebody/something else to
make things happen.

While I understand that this makes sense if
you buy into a philosophy of I am not the
doer, I wonder how many who believe in that
philosophy ever do anything. In other words,
does the belief that there is a Scotty out
there somewhere whose *job* it is to beam

Misapplied, yes, someone else does the 
work, but when the story is told well, 
someone comes to the rescue, enabling 
the Hero to continue doing his or her 
work. Dobby helps Harry Potter here and 
there, but Harry still has to do the work.
 
  I wonder if the Stranger in question is

 Does it matter? 

Well, yeah, it does matter. Because a story 
about some other person saving us is different 
from some hitherto-unnoticed aspect of 
ourselves coming to the rescue. One is external,
the other, internal.


 The bottom line, as I see it,
 is an abdication of personal responsibility
 and a reliance on somebody/something else to
 make things happen.

That's what I'm getting at - the Self is there 
all the time.

Both obviously. Brahman with legs.

In a recent Global Family Chat (I don't recall the date, several months
