In the middle of world economic, political and spiritual crisis extraordinary individual coming in everyday life of the planet. His name is Maitreya, though different religius expecting him under different names: Imam Mahdi, fifth Buddha, Christ, Messiah, Krishna, but almost no one expecting him in this time, on this way. He came in London in 1977, and from that time has been preparing humanity for his open mission – to teach humanity: right relationship, importance of sharing world resources, realization of human true divine nature etc. Maitreya is not a religious leader, but a teacher for all humanity. He say in one of his messages: »Look for Me then as your Brother and Friend. Seek Me in the midst of your brothers. Know Me for My Love. Recognise Me by My work. See in Me the God you are.« More: http://www.shareintl.org/
you know, it is rather interesting that in many religious traditions during a bracket of time (about 200 BCE-200 CE, or something similar to that) they all came up with some sort of savior figure. you´ve got the buddha, jesus, mohammad (i think? could very well be wrong), and... well, you get the idea. gotta wonder if it´s human nature to fulfill this need for "something" to save us by creating a figure for it. ???
Mohammed was born in 570, recieved his first message from Allah in 610, and died in 633. And of course it's part of human nature to want to be saved...it's called laziness. Why be responsible for ourselves when we can have someone else do it? A man comes along with a good message, telling us how we can save ourselves, and we call him the Savior, and turn him into a God. Islam is kind of cool because they didn't do that to Mohammed. Buddhism too, though in some places the Buddha is worshipped.
Maybe we need teacher, not savior. I think that we are very immature, just look around yourself, there is so much wars, hunger, poverty, hatred and so on.
Come on man, we've had the teachings for thousands of years. The eightfold path, medition, jesus message, mohammed's message...people just refuse to DO anything, and instead just BELIEVE thinking that their thoughts will save them. "Oh, I believe, so I'm saved" Yeah, people make small attempts. But they act like the salvation has occured and it's their belief that does it, so they escape any personal responsibility. And the problem is, peace out there won't ever happen till it happens within us first. So the belief kills us, literally and figuratively, because we never get that inner peace from which only goodness can flow.
I agree with you... A lot of people just say, "Oh, I have the saviour...I can do what I want and I'll be forgiven...I can have the world this way because I know that I'm going to a better one"...well surely if this better one exists I don't think you are going there until you can learn how to deal in this one... You're right that peace isn't going to happen anytime soon....more of us have to stop being so displaying of our religions, going to church is all fine and good but going to church and talking the talk is different from looking for God within yourself...that's the most important part, I think... Hope that made some sort of sense...it looks like a random blurb...sorry about that...
