hesitated so long in taking the obvious and most natural action:
sharing the resources of the world. Experiencing warmly the new
stability, the lack of tension, the ease of international
co-operation, men will wonder how they could have been so blind to
the self-evident, so wilful and destructive to their own best
interests for so long.
in which every global decision and act will be seen to be for the
better, as nourishing and sanctifying their lives, and
strengthening the bonds of Brotherhood which, up till then, they
had ignored and all but forgotten. Gladly, men will now work
together for the Common Good, the hatred and distrust of the past
put firmly behind them. Thus will a new kinship emerge as Goodwill
and Respect, like vitalizing yeast, saturate their awakened lives.
Thus, too, in ever strengthening measure, will love and joy
embrace and lighten the hearts of men and women everywhere.
transformation in the lives of men? Not alchemy but the divinity
which dwells in the hearts of men themselves, evoked and brought
forth by the wonder of Maitreya's Love. "Sharing," He has said,
"is divine; the first step into sharing is the first step into
your divinity." In man himself lies the full measure of that
divinity. Sharing will demonstrate that man is a potential God and
is equipped to express the creative Will of his Source.

childish past. So will it be.

inner change through which humanity is passing: learning to live
within the Laws of Life. When men see and understand this
consciously, as a fact of life, they will take, gladly, the steps
which lead directly to Peace and Justice, Freedom and Right
Relationship. That first step is called Sharing.

Relationship are the same, have the same impulse: to demonstrate
the urge to Unity which underlies our apparent separation, and so
reveal the true nature of men as Gods.

Benjamin Creme frequently says that the coming changes for us in
the developed world will be, in his words, "painful". In

old order of things.... This will cause many to grieve but so it
must be." [Message No. 4] These words make me uneasy.

to make to simplify our demands on the planet would be more
painful than for those already living more modestly. If you, as
you say, are now living below the poverty line -- even for America
-- then you will not feel simplification a problem. It is the
'waste' mentality which, I think, will be most difficult for the
developed nations to give up.

On 24 March 2008 we participated in the peace march from Delft
Station to the centre of The Hague. The atmosphere was pleasant,
in spite of the very cold weather. A man full of wrinkles and no
teeth, in a black corduroy suit with a red scarf, was busy the
whole time talking to and encouraging bystanders to get involved
in the demonstration, and he kept agreeing enthusiastically with
the speakers. He seemed a little drunk and said that he was a
'Hagenees' (humorous term for an inhabitant of the Hague) and
later that he was a 'Rotterdammer' (inhabitant of Rotterdam). Was
he a Master?

(1) On 15 March 2008 we were at the Dam Square in Amsterdam for a
peace demonstration. Three of us were holding up a banner saying:
"Only sharing and justice will bring peace", in Dutch and English.
A small man approached us. He wore a black, high hat and a stripey
yellow and blue scarf. He had a bloodshot eye and a hearing aid in
his right ear. He looked lively and open. He pointed at the banner
and said: "There is always a Messiah in the world." To that we
said with one voice: "Yes, Maitreya". Then he said: "It is God."
He did not confirm that it was Maitreya, but did not deny it
either. It seemed as if we were slightly challenged. When someone
mentioned Maitreya Buddha he started to talk about Buddhists, that
they would not even kill an ant, or a spider. He asked if we were
afraid of spiders? He used to be afraid of them, but not any more.
He had even dared to hold a huge spider in his hands. He was
serious and funny at the same time and it felt like an invitation
to pass over your own fears. Then he talked for a while with a few
others, and told them that in Israel the Messiah is appearing to
very many people, and Joshua too. After that he was gone. Was he

On 25 April 2008 I gave a lecture in Annecy, France, about the

parts: the patterns of light; the link with UFOs; and the link

old-style collector's type of motorbike. There were two old men
dressed in old-style biker's outfits with helmets, riding it. The

In January 2008 I was due to receive back a granite table that was

worried that an accident could happen. But everything went well
and we arrived at the front door of my flat. The door was closed.
My two sons, who had been inside before, had gone out, leaving me
with a closed door, without keys or a mobile phone to call them.
waiting that there was only my cat, Chinin, at home, one of them
said: "Mom, you should have taught your cat to open the door." I
remembered that when my cat was young, he used to find a way to
open the door to go out. Instinctively, through the door, I tried
to speak with my cat, telling him: "Chinin, open the door, come
on, please." The two men looked at each other, probably thinking I
was a bit mad, but suddenly, in a fraction of a second, the door
opened and Chinin came out. One of the men, the one who had joked
about teaching the cat to open the door, babbled: "I thought I had
already seen it all." They assembled the table as quickly as they
could, and went, without saying a word, as if they were in a
hurry. Did Chinin, the cat, indeed open the door?

Medicine*. Demi-Lee Brennan, aged 15, received a donor liver when
she was nine years old because her own liver had failed. However,
she became ill while being given drugs to avoid her body's
rejection of the transplanted liver. Brennan's blood then
inexplicably changed from her own 'O negative' blood group to 'O
positive', the blood group of her donor. Her new liver's blood
stem cells entered her body's bone marrow to take over her entire
immune system. The result is that Brennan no longer needs
anti-rejection drugs.

recovery, calling her a "one-in-six-billion miracle". Stuart
Dorney, former head of the hospital's transplant unit, said
Brennan's treatment could lead to breakthroughs in organ
transplant treatment, because normally the immune system of
recipients attacks the transplanted tissue. "We now need to go
back over everything and see why that happened to Demi-Lee, and if
it can be replicated," said Dorney. (Source: Reuters)

Orlando, Florida, USA, crowded around a prayer garden window to
witness an image of Jesus, which had miraculously appeared there.
"There was just a whole bunch of people putting their cell phones
to the window, so I went over there and I saw a glow," said
hospital visitor Joel Cruzada. "When you are standing there and
there is a flurry of people talking about it, you are like: 'Wow,
I'm actually here!'" The unexplained image is now being
investigated but a hospital official said that as long as it made
people feel good, that was all that mattered.

Bengolea, Adelia Maria, Rio Cuarto and Coronel Baigorria, among
many other towns, reported to Radio LV16 to have seen a round,
bright yellow light, flying at low altitude, reported the
newspaper *La Voz del Interior*. Carlos Oyola, a spokesman from
the civil and military air facility Area Material Rio Cuarto,
said: "We do not have any record of a night flight for official or
private aircrafts that night. What the controller saw, who is an
experienced operator, did not match any known object -- military
or civil." He said that the air force controller complied with all
the protocols, asking the object to identify itself, in aeronautic
code, but did not receive any answer.
Residents of Rio Cuarto took photographs of a very bright light
from 4am till sunrise at 7am. Many saw it come from the east, and
remain motionless at low altitude.

sighting back home looking at the videos from his mobile phone.
Watching it in slow motion he saw what he thought was a 'flying
saucer'. He took the video to Radio y Television de Neuquen (RTN)
where technicians, looking at it frame-by-frame, verified that the
object was indeed visible. They also concluded that it was almost
impossible to tamper with the film on the particular mobile phone
Jorge owned. Jorge also remembers that when he was filming the
scene, both he and his girlfriend experienced a headache and
tiredness.
Gonzalez and Virgilio Moreno, three workers from the Provincial
Road Authority, were returning from La Junta to Malargue. While
they were photographing the scenery a strange object caught
Felix's attention when it began "moving in intricate movements".
"I started to take photos of it. It was moving from east to west.
Amazed, we followed it from the area of La Junta to the area of El
Chacal, always with the sun in the background, as the photos
showed. Then it remained motionless for a few seconds and
disappeared towards the west". Some local radio stations confirmed

didn't see anything in the sky at the time", he said. Although he
is sceptical about the existence of UFOs, he could not explain how

psychological help to people traumatized by wars, natural
disasters, genocide and poverty. The group's Trauma Relief Teams,
including psychologists, counsellors, doctors, and social workers,
are trained in the Callahan Technique of Thought Field Therapy
(TFT). They have assisted trauma victims in many parts of the
world, including New Orleans and Mississippi in the aftermath of
the Hurricane Katrina disaster; Tabasco and Chiapas, Mexico, after
major flooding there; and in Kosovo, the Congo, and Rwanda to
treat genocide survivors.

of an ATFT Foundation Trauma Relief Team working with Hurricane
Katrina survivors and first responders -- doctors, nurses and
security people who were working with the survivors. One of the
team members, Paul Oas, a psychotherapist and minister, asked me
if I could work with the genocide survivors of Rwanda. His church
has been helping to support the El Shaddai orphanage in Kigali,
Rwanda, by providing necessities like food and shelter. He was
seeing the effects of the genocide trauma among the children in
terms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) -- nightmares,
flashbacks, insomnia, bedwetting, depression, withdrawal and rage.
Reverend Oas wanted to take a TFT team there and work with the
genocide survivors. Since I had headed the clinical team in New
Orleans, he asked if I could do that in Rwanda.
gentle, treatment of trauma I have come across. I have worked as a
clinical psychologist at Kaiser Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii, for
31 years, and have used many other, more traditional treatments
for PTSD. They usually involve some amount of abreaction (a
re-living of the experience) as people work through the trauma, a
lot of intensification of the feelings. That may be frightening
for some people, who decide they don't want to continue with the
treatment.
empowering because it is actually a treatment that people use on
themselves. From a feeling of being victimized, they are able to
heal and help themselves. When results happen, when there is a
lowered automatic emotional reaction, when the flashbacks and
nightmares stop, when all the symptoms of PTSD remit, they realize
the power that they've had to heal themselves.
Rwanda. We had only four therapists, and were faced with 400
orphans at El Shaddai orphanage. We found that 174 of them were
genocide survivors. With the kind of atrocities they had
experienced, we anticipated that it would take at least an hour
per child, working individually. We thought we would need three
consecutive days, working intensively. It actually turned out that
most of them were treated in 15 to 20 minutes. We followed up in
the next two days, checking to see if there were any more
nightmares, returning flashbacks or other traumas because many of
them had experienced multiple traumas during the genocide.

experiences, they re-experienced their own trauma vividly as they
heard reports of others. Some of them are among only a few
survivors of an entire village. They experienced the loss of many
members of their community.

or gunshots. The killings were done in close proximity, mainly
with machetes. Many victims were neighbors, friends and relatives
of those who were the perpetrators.

many children for Sylvestre's home, he started El Shaddai in an

meridians used in acupuncture and acupressure. The treatment
includes tapping on the meridian points, eye movement and other
activities that activate different parts of the brain. The
technique was developed by Dr Roger Callahan, a clinical
psychologist in California. He made the discovery in the 1980s and
has continued to develop and improve it.
forms translated into Kinyarwanda, which is their language. The
teachers, as guardians for the children, did the assessments. The
students themselves also did their own subjective assessments. We
compared, ranked and ordered them according to their assessments.
The most severely traumatized children were seen individually and
intensively. Because we were only there for three weeks and had
only four therapists, we saw most of the children in small groups
and then in larger groups, and saw the rest in class. We went
through the treatment protocols with them.
dealing with PTSD, there is a trauma treatment involving tapping
several meridian points. There were also a lot of people dealing
with anger or guilt, so we would do those particular protocols
which involve different meridian points. The tapping is done
firmly but gently, about 5 to 10 taps, depending on the protocol.

three years old at the time of the genocide. Her family had taken
refuge inside a church when the perpetrators started coming in and
killing people. The girl related how her father had told her to
run and not look back no matter what happened. She started to run
as fast as she could and then heard her father yelling and
screaming. He sounded like a crazy man, which was uncharacteristic
of him. Even though she remembered that he had said not to look
back, because she kept hearing him scream she turned to see why. A
group of people with machetes were attacking her father.
flashbacks of that scene; she called it a day-mare. She would have
this day-mare of seeing her father being killed, and would have
nightmares about it every night. As we were working it through and
she was tapping the different meridians, she suddenly stopped and
started to smile. She said she could remember her father playing
with her, and that she had had no childhood memories before. The
genocide was so much in the forefront of her memory that it
blocked out everything else.
what had happened in the church. The interpreter, who was a
pastor, looked at me hesitantly, as if to ask: "Why are you are
bringing it back up again when she was doing fine?" But we need a
complete treatment. The girl started crying and remembered seeing
other people being killed. She recalled how she and another child
who survived had escaped, and realized that her father had saved
their lives by what he had done to distract the perpetrators'
attention. She was crying as she remembered different scenes.
after about 15 or 20 minutes, she started laughing. We asked her
what was coming up for her now, and she talked about her father.
Her mother didn't want them eating very sweet fruits because they
were not good for the children's teeth. But her father would sneak
them home in his pockets and when her mother wasn't looking he
would give them to the children. She was laughing wholeheartedly,
and we laughed with her. Then I asked, now when you think about
what happened in the church, what comes up? She paused and said
without tears: "I can still remember it, but now it seems like a
distant memory, like 12 years ago." She started to talk about
other fond memories. Shortly thereafter, we ended her session for
that day and made arrangements to see her the next day. She came
in the next day looking much more cheerful. She told us that for
the first time she had no nightmares and was able to sleep well.
She started recounting many more happy memories.

been made to watch the slaughter of his wife and children and
other villagers. Then the perpetrators started hitting him with
machetes. Twelve years later we could still see the huge wounds on
his neck and head. It was a miracle that he managed to survive.
The wounds were healed but there were huge scars. He said he had
constant flashbacks and nightmares.
he slept well for the first time in 12 years with no nightmares.
He asked if we could help him with his dizziness, which caused him
to fall frequently. We thought that he might need some medical or
neurological help, but obviously the villagers don't have much
access to, nor the money to pay for, medical services. So we
thought we would try the diagnostic level of TFT, which provides
an individualized treatment. Most of the treatments we provided in
Rwanda were the standard practices found in Roger Callahan's book,

put on humanity inevitably results in psychosomatic diseases. The
cure lies in a re-establishing of equilibrium. When we establish

economic and social institutions, we will find that the health of
humanity will improve dramatically. We will not have to spend

prevented more easily than it can be cured. (Benjamin Creme,

Therein will be found the origin of that disequilibrium of forces
which manifests itself as the body's ills. The treatment of
disease will take on a new dimension when the function of the
force centres (chakras) as receivers and dispensers of energy is
understood and when their connection with the major glands of the
endocrine system is known. Already, of course, there are those few
practitioners who know this and who do valuable work, but not
until this knowledge is general shall we see much advance in the
understanding of the mechanism of disease.

situation. The new psychology, the coming science of the soul,
will throw much light on the nature and cause of disease and point
the way to its prevention. In time, man will learn to approach and
work with the deva (or angelic) evolution, many aspects of which
are deeply engaged in the healing process. (Benjamin Creme's
Master, from 'Health and healing, part 2')
physical matter -- there is a group of chakras or energy centres,
including seven major ones in the spine, through which our
energies flow. The energy that we receive comes from cosmos, the
solar system, our own planet and our soul, entering the system we
call 'ourselves'. If the chakras are working in a balanced way we
get equilibrium in the energetic system. If from wrong use of soul
energy (the major factor in dis-ease) we have produced a stasis,
or dislocation of the flow, some of the chakras will not be
functioning as they should. This results in an imbalance in the
energy streaming through the body.

correct flow of energy in the etheric body through the chakras,
while the health of the physical body depends on the correct
functioning relationship between the glands.

into touch with the soul, but if we do not use the energy in the
correct way we produce dis-ease, disequilibrium. Healing brings to
bear a degree of higher or stronger energy, to create a balance.
That might be total and permanent, or in many cases temporary.

The soul knows only service, it wants only to serve; that is why
it comes into incarnation. If a person meditates, for example, and

imbalance and so on. (Benjamin Creme, *Maitreya's Mission Volume

arithmetic). But this is not enough. They need to be taught who
they really are. The children of today will understand the
relationship between the Self and mind, spirit and body with
greater ease than adults imagine. Even a child who is bullied and
has no one to turn to, a child who has been abused, can be healed
through this understanding. He will be able to know and experience
that what has been abused, whether in mind, spirit or body, is not
his true Self. (Maitreya, *Maitreya's Teachings -- The Laws of
Life*)

correct, uninhibited flow of energy in and out of the chakras, in
a balanced, co-ordinated way. Because of our wrong living
conditions, of our badly-constructed and maintained environment,
and because of all sorts of inhibiting factors in our education,
our upbringing and so on, no one lives in a perfect state of total
equilibrium. No one has perfect health. Everyone is inhibited
because of the social norms within which we live, especially in
our cities. Each of us suffers from the results of inhibition of
one kind or another.
inhibitions on the mental level are very severe indeed; they lead
us to become fundamentalist Christian, fundamentalist Jew, Muslim,
Hindu, Buddhist, etc. These are mental straightjackets. They
inhibit the free, thinking process of the mind. We cannot think

set of ideas, of beliefs, to believe in.
all these negative emotions. We know that they are not nice, and
we are brought up to be nice; every little boy and girl has to be
nice. So we learn a mechanism to keep all our bad, naughty
thoughts in place. We do it by tensing the muscles. First of all,
we tense the muscles of the solar plexus. Once we have got them
really tight and hard, the rest take care of themselves. There is
a group of muscles in the chest which inhibits our breathing,
because we find that, if we breathe freely and easily, our ideas
and gestures and feelings also come freely and easily, and we
become dangerously spontaneous, a very dangerous thing to be, we
have found, in the normal world among our parents and their
friends. Psychoses and neuroses are the result of inhibition of
the life functions. (Benjamin Creme, *Maitreya's Mission Volume

This will reveal the intricacies of his energetic network and the
