SYNOPSIS

In this first of 12 books, Benjamin Creme makes the startling announcement that Maitreya (the Christ), as World Teacher for the coming age, is already among us--gradually emerging into full public recognition. Expected by various religions under different names, he is here to promote cooperation among the many ideological factions, galvanize world goodwill and sharing, and inspire sweeping political, social, economic and environmental reforms. Creme puts the most profound event of the last 2,000 years into its correct historical and esoteric context and describes what effect the World Teacher's presence will have on both the world's institutions and the average person. Through his telepathic contact with a Master of Wisdom, Creme offers insights on such subjects as the soul and reincarnation, telepathy, nuclear energy, ancient civiliations, problems of the developing world, a new economic order, the anti-Christ and the 'last judgement'.

More About the Author

A lifelong student of the Ageless Wisdom teachings -- first made available to the public in the late 1800s by H.P. Blavatsky and later by Alice A. Bailey -- Benjamin Creme has traveled the world for more than 30 years informing people that the greatest event in history is now unfolding. Humanity's Elder Brothers -- the Masters of Wisdom -- are once again among us. Soon these ancient guardians of the human race will be working openly at our side, showing us how to live together in peace -- with sharing, justice and Earth stewardship as the keynotes of a new civilization.

In the 15 inspiring and provocative books which have emerged from his lectures, Creme paints an ever more detailed picture of humanity's destiny, both worldly and spiritually. "We are talking about nothing less than the total transformation of every aspect of our lives", he says. Creme's message is both profound and immensely practical. Each book covers a vast range of topics: from meditation and the growth of consciousness to political and economic change, from initiation and group work to ecology and world service. Compelling explanations are offered for the ever-increasing 'miraculous' or unexplained phenomena such as weeping Madonnas, crosses of light, healing waters, crop circles and UFOs. Creme also clarifies misunderstandings about the antichrist and the 'last judgment'.

In close contact with, and trained by, a Master of Wisdom since 1959, Mr. Creme has access to constant up-to-date information on the progress of Maitreya's emergence and the total conviction necessary to present that information to a skeptical world. He is chief editor of Share International, a monthly magazine read in over 70 countries that addresses Maitreya's emergence as well as the changes that are both needed and actually occurring in every field of endeavor to bring about a more just and compassionate global society.

Creme lectures by invitation throughout Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim, and is regularly interviewed on radio and television. He receives no remuneration or royalties for this work and makes no claims about his own spiritual status. His books have been translated and published in numerous languages by groups worldwide who have responded to his message.

"My task," Creme says, "has been to make the initial approach to the public, to help create a climate of hope and expectancy into which Maitreya can emerge without infringing our free will."

5.0 out of 5 stars Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom, June 21, 2001

This review is from: The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom (Paperback)

If you are interested in the Alice Bailey teachings, but have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material or had trouble understanding the concepts presented, Mr. Creme's book provides a very readable introduction to and overview of the Ageless Wisdom teachings. The question-and-answer format covers such topics as the soul and reincarnation; upcoming changes to existing political, educational and religious institutions; the role of the forces of evil; the law of love. I recommend it highly as a good foundation text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for background info on the Emergence., December 12, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom (Paperback)

Anyone interested in the most profound story of all time (the story of Maitreya's emergence into the modern world) would be wise to read this book first. Mr. Creme explains how he was recruited & trained for his work and more importantly perhaps, he takes the mystery out of what many consider to be the greatest mysteries of all time: man's evolution, "God", UFOs/space brothers, the purpose of life, etc. with easy to understand/perfectly sensible explanations. Reading this has helped me to grasp 'the one reality'. One could accurately call it a summary of Alice Bailey's books - The Reappearance of the Christ & The externalization of the Hierarchy, with updated information which was not available when AB was physically present. It's great! (to reply- replace 'nospam' with 'net')

5.0 out of 5 stars Background information on the most profound story ever, September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom (Paperback)

I suggest that you read this book first. When I first got it, I couldn't put it down, and it only took a few hours to finish. It gives some very interesting background information on Creme & what he was doing before he was approached and asked to help prepare the way for the World Teacher. It includes details about his training for this work by one of the adepts (Masters of Wisdom). The book has many more fascinating topics, including information about how we evolve, the road ahead, and the esoteric Hierarchy which is as many know, led by Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom. Soon, almost everyone will know and love Maitreya and these adepts, who will join Maitreya on the world stage. If you want to gain an understanding of what is happening behind the scenes now, and to understand the most profound world event of all time, expected to take place very soon, read it. You will never regret it.
