188 IS ANTICHRIST ALREADY IN THE WORLD?<br />
With the emergence <strong>of</strong> Maitreya, the Master Jesus is playing a major<br />
role for the second time. This open collaboration, which will be visible<br />
to all, will end any lingering doubts concerning the true relationship<br />
between Maitreya the Christ and his disciple, the Master Jesus.<br />
He then tries to woe the Christians by saying that he and Christ are<br />
one! Here is how it goes:<br />
Thus the seemingly paradoxical claim that Jesus and the Christ are not<br />
the same person, in the literal sense <strong>of</strong> the word, is more reasonable<br />
than it would appear. Those Christians who find it difficult to accept<br />
that “their” teacher is not the highest leader <strong>of</strong> all humanity may,<br />
however, take solace in a second paradox: Jesus and Maitreya the<br />
Christ were (and are) one, in the sense that they, each on his own level,<br />
work together in perfect concord to further the divine Plan.<br />
THE ULTIMATE BLASPHEMY:<br />
I am the creator <strong>of</strong> the universe.<br />
I am the Father and Mother <strong>of</strong> the universe.<br />
Everything came from Me.<br />
Everything shall return to Me.<br />
Mind, spirit and body are My temples,<br />
for the Self to realize in them<br />
My Supreme Being and Becoming.<br />
RESISTANCE AGAINST HIM:<br />
Maitreya knows that he cannot fool the elect (but that will not stop<br />
him from trying) so, he warns those who are fooled by him that some<br />
people will actually resist him:<br />
Not all men, however, will recognize Maitreya as the One awaited by all<br />
the nations. <strong>St</strong>eeped deeply in the world's scriptures, however<br />
fragmented, and however discoloured by time, many will turn away, at<br />
first, from this latest manifestation <strong>of</strong> God's continuing Plan for the<br />
world. <strong>The</strong>y will find it hard to reconcile Maitreya's simple and practical<br />
approach with their mystical expectations and dogmas. Do not be<br />
surprised, therefore, by their angry and anxious rejection. Thus it was<br />
in Jesus' time. Thus, also, when the Buddha began His work. Thus, too,<br />
did Krishna know dissent and condemnation. Thus has it always been<br />
when the New has presented itself to the Old.
