176 IS ANTICHRIST ALREADY IN THE WORLD? changes and create a saner and more just world for all. He is here to inspire us to create a new era based on sharing and justice, so that all may have the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, health care, and education. Maitreya's social concerns are reflected in his list of priorities: an adequate supply of the right food, adequate housing for all, healthcare and education as universal rights. His social message can be summarized in a few words: "Share and save the world." Maitreya knows we will accept his message and that we are on the threshold of an era of peace and goodwill. In our December 1999 issue we wrote the following: He will offer a plan for the successful resolution of the world crisis, based on social and political wisdom - the establishing of a uniform political and social structure over the whole world. Mankind, being spiritually blind, will not recognize this project as a cunning snare luring it into the most merciless, continual slavery. To the contrary, man will hail Antichrist's manifestations of great erudition, wisdom and genius. Worldwide publicity of Antichrist as a genius-thinker, a new leader and a saviour of all peoples will flash throughout all nations in the shortest period of time. HIS TEACHINGS: In the same issue we wrote concerning Antichrist: Most of the Fathers believe that Antichrist will present to the world a false facade of piety and righteousness that will make him look blameless to the eyes of the naive and unspiritual. Faced with corrupt politicians and money-crazed Tele-evangelists, the world will see in the Beast (Antichrist) a fresh leader, whose reputation is so impeccable, that any one trying to warn people against his deceiving exterior will be looked upon as a raving fanatic or even a lunatic! Maitreya’s “sermons” portray him as a champion of morals and family values. Here are excerpts from a sermon on “The Family”: The family unit is the basis of all social life. Its importance cannot be over-emphasized. Today, this pre-eminence is being eroded by neglect, experiment and a misunderstanding of the essential needs of children. All children need a stable background in which to grow and the
IS ANTICHRIST ALREADY IN THE WORLD? 177 exemplars of that process, a mother and father. That not all parents provide that stability or offer worthy examples is, sadly, all too true, and many factors are involved in this unfortunate condition: lack of education, poverty, inadequate housing, illness, and irresponsible and feckless adults, immature and unfit for the rigours of family life. The young couples commence the subtle and difficult art of upbringing and nourishing of souls in incarnation with little more than their conditioning to guide them. That conditioning they duly pass to their children and so the follies and ignorance perpetuate. Thus the need for the light of a new approach to this sacred service. Today, there is an added and growing twist to the problem. Mounting sexual experimentation in the field of family life is leading to a distortion and misunderstanding of the true nature of the parent-child relation. The child is a soul in a family of souls. Hierarchy is not the enemy of homosexuals, but the growing demand of homosexual men and women for the right to raise children is mistaken and unhelpful to the child. All people, of whatever sexual persuasion, should think deeply about the nature and purpose of incarnation: the nurturing of souls who need a mother and a father to provide the examples, guidance and karmic opportunity to grow and evolve according to the Plan. If, for whatever reason, people feel inadequate to the task, a wise self-sacrifice for this life may be the wisest course. Any one reading this will certainly be impressed. Even the position towards homosexuals and their demands for parenting are very reasonable. Certainly, anyone calling such a man “Antichrist” will be ridiculed, on account of the “great words”(Dan 7:11) that he is saying. A PEACE MAKER: Maitreya’s political views are in no measure less wise than his views on values. Here is what he says about September 11: The minds of most are focused on the political crisis which threatens to destabilize the world. This is natural and inevitable. The hysteria engendered in the United States by the events of 11 September 2001 has swept across much of the world. The fighting talk and tone of the American President has fanned the flames of fear, making it all but impossible to take a balanced view. That such a balanced view is to be desired is obvious if correct assessments and responses are to be made. Speculation and rumour hold sway in the present situation and drain the vitality of the watching world.
