These days, skepticism is essential.
People are also encouraged to
avoid jumping to conclusions prematurely. Many people get in a hurry and make
the mistake of rushing to judgment, basing their conclusions upon false assumptions,
rather than facts.
It's a mistake to assume that our eyes and
scientific instruments see all that there is to see. From one perspective, someone could
truthfully say that our civilization is an advanced civilization. It would also be
correct to say that our civilization is very primitive. A world of plenty plagued
with dishonest politicians, wars, obesity, hunger, extreme material wealth, extreme
poverty, commercialization & environmental degradation is not a civilized world.
The human family is not functional. That will soon change. The people of this earth
- all brothers and sisters are all essentially good, but
far too many have been misled. They have heard some lies repeated so many times that they
have become 'truth' to them.
Many world leaders have lost their
way, and have become "mis-leaders". We the people have the power to change
all that. We must stand up for our rights and demand that the government serve the people.
The power belongs to the people and will soon be in our hands. The time for the government
to serve the rich at the expense of the people has past. It's time for us to transform
this huge family of ours into a functional family. That is beginning to happen
now.
For humanity to flourish, the basic human
needs for food, shelter, health-care, & education must be guaranteed. Together,
under the inspiration of Maitreya the World Teacher and the Masters of Wisdom, people
everywhere will learn to see humanity as one huge family, and will rebuild the world so
that man's basic needs are the guaranteed rights of everyone. The elimination of fear and
the establishment of a system where everyone is cared for & viewed as important, will
bring dramatic improvements in society and the world.
The difference will be like the
difference between night & day, or to be specific: the difference between a
dysfunctional family plagued by corruption, greed, violence, fear & ignorance
& and a functional family characterized by honesty, love, respect,
sharing, & cooperation.
We have reached a critical point in the
history of our planet Earth. In brief, we must change our ways or perish. The Earth
is a living system that must be respected and cared for, not raped and pillaged for
corporate profits. We are befouling our nest like there is no tomorrow. The
time for political corruption and its consequences (war, social injustice, hunger,
poverty, environmental degradation etc.) has past. It is time for us to move
forward. The power belongs to the people, but we have to stand up and seize it. More of us
have to get up off the sofa or out of bed and work to transform the world if we want a
viable civilization. Maitreya has said that 'Nothing happens by itself, man must act
to implement his will.'
Jeffery Sachs recently said that 'we can
be the first generation to end poverty, or we can be the last generation to have a viable
planet.' The choice is up to all of us - everyone. We all share responsibility for
the current situation. We can't rely on "somebody else". You are hereby
encouraged to think of something good that you can do for total strangers, if you don't
already do that. Any amount of time that you spend helping humanity is helpful (five
minutes or forty hours a week or a year) - any amount is better than nothing. It is
good for you and good for the whole world. Humanity is one huge interconnected
family. There are solutions to all of our family's problems. We are not going to
remain dysfunctional forever. Maitreya as an agent of divine intervention will inspire
humanity to make great changes for the good of the whole family.
