A Letter from The Maitreya to the World
.September 13, 2001
As the emotions of peoples all over the globe range from anger and rage, to sadness and despair, to shock and dismay, to contented disdain, no more pressing could be the need for the voice of God to calm the savage seas of human emotion.
While the news reports following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 are speaking the collective voice of the people—one of revenge and retaliation—seemingly forgotten are the words God has sent for thousands of years to His children on Earth: To live by the sword is to die by the sword.
My heart weeps as I hear so many call to God to actually bless their intent to murder in His Most Holy Name. Most of the wars on this planet are being fought over people’s professed love for God. And they continue to call God’s blessing upon each subsequent massacre of His own children.
To watch in horror as even the very leader of the entire free world (the President of the United States) calls forth God’s blessing upon his vow to annihilate and murder countless people to ‘set an example’ urges Me to call out to each of you. Does it matter whether you call ‘murder’ by the name ‘terrorism’ or ‘justice?’ It is still murder—the taking of another person’s life. Are murder and revenge the ‘examples’ you want to set for your children?
What are needed now more than ever in this world and, specifically, in the face of this crime are forgiveness, compassion, and understanding. After all, what is crime? It is a crying out for love (crime = cry / me). Everyone is in search of only one thing: Love. People only know how to ask for love based on the way they were loved as a child. Some ask with kindness, others with violence. If your love is truly unconditional (without conditions placed upon your giving of it), you would give it as freely and equally to those who come with a consciousness clothed in the finest of silks as you would to those who come with a consciousness garbed in filthy, tattered rags. Do you think God loves the terrorist less than He does the priest? ‘Tis more noble to love and forgive than to judge and condemn.
Has the world turned a blind eye to the example set by Jesus? What about Gandhi? It was through non-violence that he single-handedly freed a nation of 300 million people. When will other world leaders have the courage to follow this example? You are each a world leader in your own right. Will you follow God’s example, which has been demonstrated by a noble few over time?
It will assist you if I widen the lens and show you these events from the Divine perspective. First, it is of the utmost importance that each of you looks in your own heart to see how these incidents apply to you, as well as what they are teaching you. There is nothing outside of self. What this means is that on the highest plane of creation—on the level of the absolute—the whole universe, and everything that happens in it, is nothing more than a hologram of thought forms, out-pictured in physical reality for you to see, contemplate, and integrate all the disassociated parts of yourself.
This is one of the two reasons your soul incarnated on Earth, to remember and restore your full divinity. The other reason for your existence—the very meaning of life—is to be in service to a Purpose which is greater than the self. That ‘Purpose’ is more commonly known as ‘God’s will.’
To understand this universal truth is to know that you (created in the image of God) are all that exists. Therefore, as an embodied aspect of the Creator, it is wise to ask yourself what part of you created the destruction of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. And why? To teach you what about yourself? To elicit what growth, change, or transformation in your life and in your consciousness-for that is the only reason anything happens, to help you move into a consciousness of greater love.
It also follows, by the same divine principles, that all these people unwittingly gave their lives for you, personally. Yours is to ask yourself, ‘Why?’ To retaliate or to even harbor any non-loving feelings toward any person or group means that all these thousands of souls would not have achieved the purpose for which they gave their lives in the first place.
Glorify their deaths by hearing their plea for all human beings to come together in love. Since they chose and created their deaths, too, can you see why they chose the World Trade Center as the vehicle? The melting pot of all nations, all cultures, all financial markets, all trade, all governments… all in one building, much less all in one city, all in one country. What a stroke of mastery.
Where else could this group of mighty souls have commanded the attention of every soul on Earth? And since money still reigns on Earth as the god deriving the greatest devotion, what more perfect place to divert humanity’s attention back to the only real God that ever existed than the very epicenter of all world trade? There can be no false gods placed before Me. Is this any different than Moses coming down from Mt. Sinai to see all his people worshipping the golden bull?
My message is as simple as it is clear. Thy gaze needs to be firmly planted upon God and God alone. All other idols and objects must fall a distant second to that gaze, that devotion, and that love affair.
The Divine, in concert with your soul, has only one motivating factor: to remove any obstacle which stands between you and God. Those who refuse to acknowledge the truth of these words will inevitably magnetize unto themselves an even louder wake-up call. Whatever you resist persists and intensifies. That is the Law of Creation.
And why the Pentagon? It could have been any building in Washington. These souls hurled their bodies into the Ministry of Defense (of the country with the largest armed forces and which also happens to be the largest producer and trader of weapons in the world), offering their lives so that, perhaps, mankind will finally lay down its weapons and learn to love. Could the message be any more clear?
Your true power lies in your defenselessness. That is why you always see the saints portrayed with their hands at their sides and with their palms facing forward: ‘Here but for the Grace of God stand I.’ Those who still believe that ‘might makes right’ have never tasted or been touched by the true power of God.
The one wielding the biggest heart wins, not the one wielding the biggest stick. Weapons cannot raise a body from the dead. Weapons cannot make rain fall from the sky. Weapons cannot cure a person of cancer. Weapons cannot part the Red Sea. Yet, faith in the power of God’s love can do all these things and more.
The truth is that, eventually, weapons and war will no longer exist on this planet. And here we have a collective group of souls who chose to send this message home as their departing gift to this world: Put down your weapons and stop fighting.
Years ago, when China invaded Tibet, killing and destroying anything in its path, His Holiness the Dalai Lama had to choose whether to fight or flee. Many wanted him to fight, just like now in the U.S. And a whole country was in jeopardy, just like now. He had soul searching to do, and he knew that people would be killed with either choice. One choice would make him a Christ; the other, a hypocrite. How could the leader of a non-violent people wage a war with weapons? So he fled… or did he?
The world views the Dalai Lama as ‘living in exile.’ I invite you to look deeper, into the realm of God’s will being achieved by way of-and in spite of—humanity’s free—willed choices. Unbeknownst to the people of Tibet, it was God’s will that this Dalai Lama reach a position of global impact and visibility. However, Tibet had several hundred years of history and tradition which decreed that the Dalai Lama was to live in the Potala and serve his country from there. How could God’s will be thus achieved? It would seem that God and His Holiness were diametrically opposed, even though the Dalai Lama is a man of God and devotes every breath to serving God.
It took something as forceful as China’s invasion to deliver the grace and goodness and love of the Dalai Lama to the whole world. He never would have broken centuries of tradition and left Tibet had China not invaded, the world would have been deprived of his love and wisdom, and God’s will would not have been achieved. Therefore, a wise soul would bless China for its part as much as it would bless His Holiness and the beautiful people of Tibet for all playing their parts in achieving God’s will: to deliver the Dalai Lama to the world. Thy will be done, and is, always and everywhere.
Does this mean China’s actions were loving? Of course not. However, it is not Tibet’s responsibility, nor is it the Dalai Lama’s, to hold China accountable for its choices and actions. Their responsibility—as is yours—is simply to love one another unconditionally. China is holding itself accountable. The laws of cause and effect take care of themselves (as do all universal laws) perfectly—and in God’s perfect time and place, not man’s. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Is it really any wonder, then, that the country which finances and provides weapons for more wars, uprisings, and revolts than does any country in the world would draw—through the very same Law of Karma—this attack unto itself?
How can ones blame or judge the perpetrators of this bombing when they, too, are but pawns in the intricate play of humanity’s collective consciousness on Earth? You are the terrorist. You are every person on the airplane. You are the President, now choosing hatred over love. You are the building and everyone in it. And you are the soul, hungry for truth and assistance, who is now reading this letter to gain insight into the very fabric of your existence… and, lastly, you are the Christ who now has the opportunity to choose love and to make a difference in this world.
God uses whatever you bring to the table to achieve His will for Creation. What most of humanity has brought to the table are ‘greed rather than God’ and ‘fighting instead of loving.’ Thus, this group of souls chose the global centers of money (World Trade Center) and war (The Pentagon) to deliver God’s message to the world. If the collective consciousness of this world (i.e. more than 50% of the world’s population) had its focus first and foremost on God (unconditional love), this would not have happened. It has nothing to do with terrorism.
Terrorism is a disease that lives inside almost every soul on this planet, save a few hundred souls. And the terror which pervades almost every consciousness on Earth is a deep, primordial fear/terror of God, resulting in Man’s continued self-imposed exile from its Creator. As within, so without. This, My beloveds, is the origin of terrorism as you know it, and the reason that it exists. When—and only when—the terror of receiving God’s love no longer exists in your mind, you will no longer see terrorism on your planet, much less be affected by it.
The universe is always in perfect balance. How that is demonstrated in your world of polarity is that ‘for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.’ Thus, as more people awaken and surrender to God’s love, so does the ‘opposition’ or resistance to that Love, likewise, increase. Humanity’s return to God happens through suffering for all those who relate to God through fear rather than faith.
Why New York City? This arrow was sent right into the epicenter of the planet. New York is called ‘the Hub of the Universe.’ This all happened in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty. While many people see Lady Liberty as America’s symbol of freedom for all the people of the world—freedom from oppression, freedom of speech, etc.—she actually has a much greater meaning.
The flame that Lady Liberty holds is actually the Ascension Flame for this planet. It is the three-fold flame, also known as the Trinity of God, and it holds both the vision and the blueprint for all of humanity’s ultimate freedom from living in separation from God.
That flame is now activated and the madness you see in the world is all the willful, selfish resistance to God’s call unto His children: Come unto Me. And the murder and destruction you see on the television is the part of you that says ‘No’ to God, the part of you that says ‘i am not interested in what God wants. i want what i want, when i want it, how i want it, and where i want it.’
Love (God) is reclaiming dominion of this planet whether anyone likes it or not. As you can see, many do not. ‘My will, not Thy will’ must, and shall, soon be replaced by ‘Thy will be done.’ Each of you has a choice to come to the altar of God with your tail wagging or with your feet dragging, but come ye shall.
The greatest delusion that plagues the mind of Man is thinking that you ever had a life in the first place. Your body is the temple of God, temporarily loaned to your soul so that it could serve God while on Earth. Thus, you are all emissaries of God-priests and priestesses, by definition—whether you like it or not. Arise and awaken, My beloved children, to the true nature of your existence.
Your soul uses the least means necessary to achieve God’s desired goal. What this universal truth is saying is that this horrific display of events was the least means necessary to get your attention and return it to forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, acceptance, and to unconditional love.
There is a tragedy far greater than what the whole world witnessed on September 11, 2001 and that is the shocking possibility that very few heard this message, God’s message, and moved into a consciousness of greater love as a result of all that happened. Will you be one of the few? Will you heed the Word of God, avoid all temptation to judge, rise into a greater love for all your fellow man, and glorify all the lives that were given up for you?
I ask that you love, thank, and bless every soul that played a part in this chain of events-from the terrorists, to the mastermind behind the plan, to the passengers on the plane, to those who worked in the buildings destroyed, to all those now suffering and struggling to find their way to peace and love because of it. To the degree that you choose Love in the face of all temptation and adversity is to the degree that you walk in the image of God.
September 17, 2001
Not even one week has passed since the terrorist incidents in New York City and Washington D.C., and already I see the phoenix, the voice of Love among you, rising from the ashes. As vigils are now being held around the world, candles are burning, and the voice of reason, compassion, patience, and tolerance is growing louder still. A call to love. A call to put down all weapons and love one another. Even though it took events so tragic to bring the world’s attention back unto love, the signs show that it is working.
Everything means something, everything that happens to you and around you. And while many are still insisting that message, that teaching, is one of hatred and revenge, I assure you it is not. There are no victims, as seen through God’s eyes. Thus, it follows that these thousands of souls unwittingly, albeit willingly, gave their lives to deliver a powerful message to the world.
Look in your hearts. Did they give up their very lives-their greatest possession, their greatest dream and joy—in an act so heroic, so noble, so selfless—to incite war and kill God’s Creation? No. They gave their lives to call humanity’s attention back unto itself, back unto love. As the world waits in fearful anticipation, their voice and their message is growing louder and louder with every passing day.
It is time you empower yourselves and one another to remember that the fullness of God runs through your veins. And it is your faith, your courage, and your perseverance in Love’s name that will turn the tides of this world and restore everlasting peace on Earth.
Some years ago, an angel was sent among you to give the American people back its voice. The man in whose body that angel silently walked was, and is, Ross Perot. In his individual campaign for the Presidency of the United States, rising and appearing out of nowhere, he single-handedly was responsible for creating the highest voter turnout in the history of the nation. God used that campaign to remind everyone of the power of one voice. And now I am asking that you use that voice.
As within, so without. Who would be so hypocritical as to now blame the President for the fact that he was put in office by a collective consciousness that relates to God more through fear than through faith? Before anyone points a finger in judgment toward him, remember that he is awaiting direction from the people. His motive is pure; he wants only to protect. But he is confused, and fear still holds dominion within the White House. The fact that he hesitates now shows that there is still an opening for a change of heart.
Citizens of the world, show him your support by not leaving him stranded with the most difficult decision of his life—initiating a potential Third World War. Call him, write him, e-mail him your feelings and wishes, and speak to him in your prayers. To believe that the voice and will of one man is stronger than the voice of God in your heart is the greatest act of folly.
If Moses had succumbed to that fear and temptation, the Red Sea would never have parted. Thousands upon thousands of soldiers marched toward this one man and the tribe he led out of darkness, with weapons in hand, hatred and murder in their eyes and in their hearts. And it was the voice of one, the faith and courage of one, that summoned the power of God so strong as to part a sea and lead a people to safety and freedom.
Do you think he possessed any power greater than the power that lies dormant within you? I ask that you believe. Believe in yourself. Believe in that very same power of God which is now available to you. Believe in the ability of that Love—if given your consummate faith and devotion-to consume your entire being and walk you, as it did Krishna, Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and others.
This, I offer, is available to each and every one of you. Let these mighty souls who recently gave their lives be the catalyst. Let them be your inspiration. Verily, I say unto thee, should you miss this golden opportunity, another invitation will come—one larger, stronger, more cataclysmic in nature—to move you into love, to make choices based on that love, to draw strength from the power of that love, and to stand in the face of all adversity through courage and perseverance within that love.
If you choose to stay silent, yes, of course, God, in His infinite love and compassion will allow it to happen, because that is your choice. The last and greatest gift unto creation is free will. You now have the power and freedom to choose, and you will sleep and dwell and work and live with the consequences of your choice. The divine irony is that all roads, all human choices, in the perfect tapestry of God’s will and infinite consciousness, will ultimately arrive at the same place.
Those of you who are already writing letters, holding vigils, calling radio stations, and—pray thee—writing to politicians and to the President, using all the resources you have available, are ennobling and glorifying the lives that were given up for you.
In return, shall your lives be so amazingly blessed, uplifted, and exalted from the mundane trials and tribulations you now know, and shall you be shown a clearer, more graceful path into the world of pure love. Because of your efforts on behalf of these ones, and on behalf of those living for whom you have hope, compassion, and mercy: As you sow, so shall you reap one thousand-fold.
Another powerful message has been sown into the collective consciousness by way of these events. A seed of confusion and uncertainty has been placed in the minds of most. Like mice scrambling to find their way out of a maze of confusion, the U.S. government is struggling to create so great a security web that it could offer its people a life free from fear of invasion, terrorism, assault and attack.
Please know that there is no system on earth wise enough or strong enough to give you this protection. And this is the very message that this event was meant to parlay into your minds and hearts. There is only one way, one place, where you can find that level of safety, and that is in the power of protection derived from your Faith, a faith sourced by an unflinching gaze on God. Therein shall you find your safety and your safe harbor.
Only those who dwell in the fullness of that Divine, omnipotent companionship can walk free from the armor of weaponry and man-made security, free from locks, devices, and electronic systems—protected only, and completely, by the power of God’s omnipresent love. While only certain individuals have ever walked and lived to demonstrate this truth, the day will come when nations will, as well. Here, again, is the opportunity for America to be one such nation.
There already exists one true peace-loving country on the planet that currently issues a global statement saying it will fight no war on its own behalf, nor on behalf of any other country and, therefore, maintains no defense system or military operation whatsoever. As a result, this country is not invited into war, nor is war ever waged upon it. Instead, it lives in peace among all nations—an island in the Sea of Contentment.
The United States of America is not the most powerful country in the world because of its money, weaponry, and military fortitude. You have only been taught and trained to believe that. It is the most powerful country in the world because God has placed that power within this land, to shine the Light of Freedom brightly upon the world. The power had to be granted to your land and your people by God before it could be used. For all comes from the Creator, all originates from the Creator.
I am now asking you to draw from the wellspring of that Power and Might that was granted unto you, to use it in Love’s name, instead of in Fear’s name.
Let us, My beloved children, keep the horse before the cart. Heed thee, well, My words. Take them into your heart. Let them gestate and have their way with you. Sleep upon them, dwell and dream upon them. And, when you awaken from your introspection and contemplation, lend a voice to your sentiments and beliefs. Take action upon those beliefs. And remember to do so always with the utmost of patience, compassion, tolerance, and non-judgment for the feelings, beliefs, choices, and actions that all others make—like yourself—in their journey back into love.
In so doing shall Grace be planted with every footstep you make, and shall Grace be the trail that paves the way for others. Blessed be, dear ones, in whose most Holy name I come.
- Louix Dor Dempriey
(Bhagavan Sri Pranananda)
