The Awakening of Humanity - NEW

The Awakening of Humanity is a companion volume to Benjamin Creme’s The World Teacher for All Humanity, published in 2007, which emphasizes the nature of Maitreya as World Teacher, the Embodiment of Love and Wisdom.
The Awakening of Humanity focuses on the day when Maitreya declares Himself openly as World Teacher for the Age of Aquarius. It describes the process of Maitreya’s emergence, the steps leading to the Day of Declaration, and humanity’s response to this momentous experience.
Of the Day of Declaration Benjamin Creme’s Master says: “Never, before, will men have heard the call to their divinity, the challenge to their presence here on Earth. Each, singly, and solemnly alone, will know for that time the purpose and meaning of their lives, will experience anew the grace of childhood, the purity of aspiration cleansed of self. For these precious minutes, men will know afresh the joy of full participation in the realities of Life, will feel connected one to another, like the memory of a distant past.”
This prophetic book gives the reader hope and expectancy for the joyful, world-changing events which are on their way.

The World Teacher for All Humanity
Read this book online, free of charge

As Maitreya, the World Teacher, stands poised ready to emerge into full public work, Benjamin Creme’s latest book, The World Teacher for All Humanity, is an overview of the background to this momentous event.

The book details the planned return of our planetary Hierarchy and the
descent of Maitreya from His Himalayan retreat in July 1977 and of His work in the world, albeit behind the scenes, since then. It speaks too of the enormous changes that His presence has brought about; of His plans and projects, and His priorities and recommendations in the immediate future time. It shows Him as a great and powerful Avatar and, at the same time, as a friend and brother of humanity.

Maitreya's advice will bring humanity to a simple choice between two lines of action: to ignore His recommendations and continue in our present mode of life, and so face self destruction; or to accept gladly His counsel to inaugurate a system of sharing and justice which will guarantee a peaceful and prosperous future for humanity, and the creation of a civilization based on the inner divinity of all men.

The Art of Living: Living within the Laws of Life

In The Art of Living, Benjamin Creme considers the experience of living as a form of art, like painting or music. To reach a high level of expression requires both knowledge of and adherence to certain fundamental principles. In the art of life, it is through the understanding of the great Law of Cause and Effect, and the related Law of Rebirth, that we achieve the poised harmlessness that leads to personal happiness, right human relations and the correct path for all humanity on its evolutionary journey. Parts Two and Three, ‘The Pairs of Opposites’ and ‘Illusion’, propose that it is man’s unique position in the evolutionary scheme – the meeting point of spirit and matter – that produces his seemingly endless struggle both within himself and in outer living. The means by which he emerges from the fog of illusion, and blends these two aspects of himself into one perfect Whole, is living life itself with growing detachment and objective self-awareness.

The Great Approach

In this prophetic book, esotericist and international lecturer Benjamin Creme addresses the problems of our chaotic world and its gradual change under the influence of a group of perfected men, the Masters of Wisdom, who are returning openly to the world for the first time in 98,000 years.
With their leader, Maitreya, the World Teacher, they will guide humanity out of the present morass, and inspire the building of an entirely new kind of civilization where justice and freedom are the norm.

The energy that emanates from this book is electrifying. One can almost see the future stretching ahead for humanity. It appeals to the heart and inspires our highest aspiration. In a most original and convincing way it moves from idealism and expressed goodwill to the practical means of bringing the new structures into being.

An extraordinary synthesis of knowledge, it throws a searchlight on the future; with clear vision it predicts our highest achievements of thought to reveal the amazing scientific discoveries which lie ahead. It shows us a world in which war is a thing of the past, and the needs of all are met. It is indeed a message of hope for the world.

Maitreya's Mission - Volume III

This chronicle of the next millennium -- and beyond -- completes a trilogy about Maitreya's mission. Visualize, if you can, a world of peace with cities restored to great beauty, where the necessities of life are guaranteed to all people.

Imagine a civilization where the Science of Light will bring new modes of travel and architecture, new sources of energy, a restored healthy environment, and advanced medical marvels.

Take a peek at education in the future, how we will use increased leisure time, and a renaissance of art and creativity greater than the world has ever known. It may sound like science fiction but it presents -- in interviews with a Master of Wisdom -- Maitreya's priorities in the coming time and some of the challenges of the 21st century through which he will guide us.

As in the previous two volumes (Maitreya's Mission, Volumes I and II), there is invaluable wisdom concerning a vast range of topics, some familiar to us from the first books but now expanded upon, and other totally new subjects such as the proper understanding of time, the elimination of the fear of death, service and the soul, and what's behind the proliferation of miracles throughout the world. It also includes a complete compilation of the initiates and their ray structures as given in Share International magazine.

The Art of Co-operation

Examines the root cause of our world crisis: the glamour, or psychological 'fog', that hides the reality of our oneness and produces pain and suffering at all levels. Overcoming glamour is therefore seen as the key to realizing unity, the true relationship of all life in the universe. Co-operation--rather than competition--follows naturally from the recognition of unity and is the only foundation for a just and peaceful world. This book is an invaluable guide for group work.
