The latest volume in the series clarifying the mission of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and His disciples the Masters of Wisdom. Again, published in easily digested format of questions and answers. The future is bright for humanity. Peace. Sharing. Conservation. The broadening of consciousness. Yes, and beauty. Everything you can imagine -- actually, everything you can intuit -- is here in this book. Illusion, reality, the meaning of angels, devas, spiritual valuations of ten famous painters, earthquakes, education, ringing in the ears, healthy eating, the inhabitants of Jupiter, spiritual interviews. Point? "To consolidate the treasure of the past and inspire the marvels of the future." In the back, a list of initiates, their rays and stages of evolution. Also, a very useful, complete glossary of terms. Creme is consistent, perceptive, a believer in the evidence of things not seen. "We are spiritual Beings, literally gods, who reflect themselves on the soul-plane as the human soul, which acts as an intermediary between that divinity and the personality on the physical plane." An eloquent and absorbing expedition into the shape of reality. [The Book Reader]

As the world continues its distructive path towards materialism, we find jewels such as this book and the two previous volumes. I recommend anyone (including sceptics) to read these books and The Ageless Wisdom teachings. One key for discovering its contents in full fashion is to have an open heart. The lessons and information contained within are practical and clearly express the need of the hour for humanity. " May all the beings in the world be happy, always " rings throughout the book, if we so choose to see the light.

Benjamin Creme is a controversial person. For nearly 20 years he has written and lectured regarding his conviction that Maitreya, a Messianic deliverer, is not only living in London at this time but soon plans to reveal himself to people all over the world by means of television. Such an appearance would inaugurate the building of a new civilization, an enterprise involving the dissolution of many structures and institutions which no longer serve humanity. The 73-year-old Creme has gone out on a limb. He claims that most of the material in this book is being given through him by a master in the Himalayas, with whom he is in constant telepathic contact. He is optimistic about what is to come, certain of his mission, and erudite in the manner in which he communicates. Having studied and appreciated the writings of Alice Bailey (which, along with Blavatsky's writings, form the foundation of Creme's teachings), my own hope is that the dramatic changes which he predicts will actually come to pass. I also look forward to what he refers to as the "externalization of the hierarchy", because those of us who feel we are here to help usher in the changes need all the help we can get, from this side as well as the other. I do not agree with everything that Mr. Creme says in the 704 pages of this tome. There are, in fact, some serious questions raised with regard to a number of issues, particularly those having to do with the role of the feminine relative to spiritual development and the so-called spiritual hierarchy. The teachings of DK through Alice Bailey, after all, are decidedly linear and masculine, and there is more to the nature of things than just that perspective. On the whole, however, I believe that Maitreya's Mission 3 is a valuable book. Creme speaks clearly and knowledgeably about what he believes is required to remedy many of the problems that now beset mankind, and much of this is in the form of brief articles and question-and-answer sessions, which makes interesting "pick-up" reading. His discussions of timelessness, the art of waiting, the nature of evil, meditation, and the initiatory process, among many other subjects, are fascinating reading. If one is interested in a book that is down-to-earth and far-out at the same time, I strongly recommend it. [Dan Dohrmann]

As we approach the end of 1999, it is looking more and more like Mr. Creme's prophecy regarding the appearance of the World Teacher is about to finally come to fruition.

Maitreya's first public tv interview is expected to be very soon, and that will really get the ball rolling. Also, it's looking like Japan, China, and several other key players in the global economic arena, are NOT ready for the y2k, so the long predicted crash is most likely just around the bend.

MMVIII is sure to become an all time international best seller and is vital reading for everyone who wants to understand now, what is taking place both exoterically and esoterically. Creme's material is very practical, down to earth, and easy to understand.

For the past 20 years, Benjamin Creme has been the spokesperson for the spiritual teachings of Maitreya--Christ's Second Coming-and his disciples, the Masters of Wisdom; he is a passionate believer in a near-future of transformed global consciousness. A number of books have been spawned by his dedication to and psychic contact with the Masters and Maitreya, including two previous volumes on "the mission". This third in the series focuses more intently on the future while it explores such topics as karma and reincarnation, the origin of humanity, meditation and service, and the Plan of Evolution. The emphasis is decidedly upbeat as visions of a brilliant tomorrow filled with "self-realized" humans are frequently invoked amidst a wealth of other material (nearly 700 pages worth). The timetable for these changes comes across as somewhat variable, but the message is clear that in 15-20 years a great leap will have been made at all levels of our being. This is a meaty presentation that in answering many questions raises just a few more.

If i could only possess one book, this would be the one. Details about Maitreya's gradual emergence, his priorities, the 'Plan' of God for mankind in the immediate future, the Ageless Wisdom (esoteric philosophy), new group Meditation, questions and answers and much more are eloquently handled by Creme in the book's 700+ pages. One can read it from the start to finish, just open it randomly, or look up subjects with the index and go from there....and always find inspiring, thoughtprovoking information, explained in a down-to-earth way that makes it easy to understand.

I also like the very large list of initiates with their point in evolution & ray structures. Almost all deceased people, who were famous for contributing to the advancement of mankind (musicians,scientists,inventors,writers,poets,presidents,philosophers,etc.) are listed. This is one of a small handful of books which i'll never get rid of.

Benjamin Creme's books are an ongoing dialogue about how the universe is really working and our place in it. Highly recommended for those whose hearts and minds are open to the new energies and the new time. Maitreya, the World Teacher, is here to guide and assist humanity. Simply the best. A must read.

Maitreya's Mission, Vol. III is filled with a tremendous amount of wisdom on a huge range of topics and offers practical solutions to many of our most challenging problems. Those who read this book will find themselves on an accelerated journey into the realms of consciousness that will change their world forever.

A chronicle of the next millennium. Political, economic and social structures that will guarantee the necessities of life for all people. New ways of thinking that will reveal the mysteries of the universe and release our divine potential--all guided and inspired by Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom. Includes a compilation of ray structures and points of evolution of all 950 initiates given in Maitreya's Mission Volume One, Maitreya's Mission Volume Two and Share International Magazine.

This is a must read book. For those who are skeptic, read with an open heart and open mind.

For those who often wonder "what is life all about", "who am I" and "why am I here" will find their inner questions answered. It is a book that will help your inner growth. As our world (humanity as a whole) is in turmoil at the moment we desparately need the guidance from the Masters of Wisdom if we are to progress further.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Like I said above, read with an open heart and open mind.
