As Kurtbethel said, this is rehashed theosophy. Blavatsky and her cronies originally stole a young Indian boy called Jiddu Krishnamurti and forced him to be maitreya. He was deeply depressed and finally got up at one of their events and basically said "There are no gods, no gurus just be responsible for yourselves" and he quit (interestingly JK went on to be a guru LOL).
Quite sad that we as humans have not moved on from looking outside for answers and salvation.
Let's see....
A religion that teaches the end of all suffering
A religion that says a leader will come down and save us all
A religion that says a new world will come with peace and plenty. Sound familiar?
Yeah I'll buy that. Where do I sign?
