The Reappearance of the Christ (also known as the World Teacher, the Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Maitreya, Krishna, & the Imam Mahdi)

Maybe one or two wise owls here will quietly recognize the 'ring of
truth' of this message. Maybe not. Most will scoff or laugh it off. In
any event, it's ok. There's no penalty for not believing it.

Even those who read about this and don't believe a word of it, will
be better off (more psychologically prepared) than those who will be
taken totally by suprise.

imminent: The Reappearance of the Christ (also known as the World
Teacher, the Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Maitreya, Krishna, & the Imam
Mahdi)

Believe it or not..

The Christ (also known as the World Teacher, the Messiah, the fifth
Buddha, Maitreya, Krishna, & the Imam Mahdi) is physically present
now with an indestructible physical body. He can travel the globe at
the speed of thought. He will be seen by the world sooner than most
people imagine and He will NOT come across as a religious figure, nor
does He want to be worshipped. He will inspire people to recognize
that mankind is one huge family and to rebuild the world into a great
place for everyone.

Little known facts about the Christ

It is light and--above all else--"life more abundantly" which the
Christ will bring, and until He brings it we know not what it
signifies; we cannot realise the revelation which this will entail and
the new possibilities which will open up before us. But through Him,
light and life are on their way, to be interpreted and applied in
terms of goodwill and of right human relations... This time the Christ
will not come alone for His co-workers will come with Him. His
experience and Theirs will be the reverse of the previous one, for
this time every eye shall see Him, and every ear will hear Him and
every mind will pass judgment upon Him.

Today, when He comes, He will find a world uniquely free from the grip
and hold of ecclesiasticism; when He came before, Palestine was held
in the vicious grasp of the Jewish religious leaders, and the
Pharisees and the Sadducees were to the people of that land what the
potentates [leaders] of the church are to the people in the world
today...The priests, the Levites, the Pharisees and the Sadducees were
not the ones who recognized Him when He came before. They feared
Him...

It is a fallacy to believe, as some do, that the main trend of
Christ's work will be through the medium of the churches or the world
religions...He will use all available channels whereby the
consciousness of man may be enlarged and right orientation be brought
about...the churches are but one of the teaching avenues He will
employ...

The long divorce between religion and politics must be ended and this
can now come about because of the high level of the human mass
intelligence and the fact that science has made all men so close that
what happens in some remote area of the earth's surface is a matter of
general interest within a few minutes. This makes it uniquely possible
for Him to work in the future.

He will not come as the restorer of any of the ancient religions
including Christianity, but He will come to restore man's faith in the
Father's love, in the fact of the livinginess of the Christ and in the
close, subjective and unbreakable relationship of all men
everywhere...

(The Christ's) reappearance will knit and bind together all men and
women of goodwill throughout the world, irrespective of religion or
nationality.

It is to the whole world that Christ comes and not just to the
Christian world. He comes to the East and to the West.

He will come unfailingly when a measure of peace has been restored,
when the principle of sharing is at least in process of controlling
economic affairs, and when churches and political groups have begun to
clean house. Then He can and will come; then the Kingdom of God will
be publicly recognized, and will no longer be a thing of dreams and of
wishful thinking and orthodox hope.

When He comes at the close of this century and makes His power felt,
He will come as the Teacher of Love and Unity, and the keynote He will
strike will be regeneration through love poured forth on all. ...this
will demonstrate ...in the formation of active groups in every city of
any size and in every country, which will work aggressively for unity,
cooperation and brotherhood in every department of life -- economic,
religious, social and scientific.

Always down the centuries, at the hour of man's greatest need, and in
response to his voiced demand, a divine Son of God has come forth, and
under many different names.

He has been for two thousand years the supreme Head of the Church
Invisible, the Spiritual Hierarchy, composed of disciples of all
faiths. He recognizes and loves those who are not Christian but who
retain their allegiance to Their Founders--the Buddha, Mohammed and
others. He cares not what the faith is if the objective is love of God
and of humanity. If men look for the Christ Who left His disciples
centuries ago, they will fail to recognize the Christ Who is in
process of returning. The Christ has no religious barriers in His
consciousness. It matters not to Him of what faith a man may call
himself.

It is not for us yet to know the date or hour of the reappearance of
the Christ. His coming is dependent upon the appeal (the often
voiceless appeal) of all who stand with massed intent; it is dependent
also upon the better establishment of right human relations & upon
certain work being done at this time by senior Members of the Kingdom
of God, the Church Invisible, the spiritual Hierarchy of our planet;
it is dependent also upon the steadfastness of the Christ's disciples
in the world at this time and His initiate-workers---all working in
the many groups: religious, political & economic. To the above must be
added what Christians like to call "the inscrutable Will of God," that
unrecognized purpose of the Lord of the World, the Ancient of Days (as
He is called in the Old Testament) Who "knows His own Mind, radiates
the highest quality of love & focuses His Will in His Own high Place
within the center where the Will of God is known.

When the Christ, the Avatar of Love, makes His Reappearance then will
the Sons of men who are now the Sons of God withdraw Their faces from
the shining light & radiate that light upon the sons of men who know
not yet that they are Sons of God. Then shall the Coming One appear,
His footsteps hastened through the valley of the shadow by the One of
awful power Who stands upon the mountain top, breathing out love
eternal, light supernal & peaceful, silent Will.

Then will the sons of men respond. Then will a newer light shine forth
into the dismal, weary vale of earth. Then will new life course
through the veins of men, & then will their vision compass all the
ways of what may be.

So a peace will come again on earth, but a peace unlike aught known
before. Then will the will-to-good flower forth as understanding, &
understanding blossom as goodwill in men.

The mass of straight goodness and vision in the world is enormous, and
the amount of clear, humanitarian thinking is unbounded; it is in the
hands of the masses of good little men, and the millions of right
thinking people in every land, that the salvation of the world lies...
Numerically, they are adequate to the task, and need only reassurance
and wise co-ordination...for the service required.

When He comes...to inaugurate the New Age and so complete the work He
began in Palestine two thousand years ago, He will bring with Him some
of the great Angels, as well as certain of the Masters. (The
Externalization of the Hierarchy, 508)

The time is known only to two or three, but "in such an hour as ye
think not, He will come." (Matt.XXIV 44)

To Him all seekers are known, and, though they may remain unaware of
Him, the light which He pours forth stimulates their desire, fosters
the spark of struggling life and spurs on the aspirant until the
momentous day dawns when they stand face to face with the One Who by
being "lifted up" is drawing all men unto Himself as the Initiator of
the sacred mysteries.

His reappearance and His consequent work cannot be confined to one
small locality or domain, unheard of by the great majority, as was the
case when He was here before. The radio, the press and the
dissemination of news, will make His coming different to that of any
previous Messenger; the swift modes of transportation will make Him
available to countless millions, and by boat, rail and plane they can
reach Him: through television, His face can be made familiar to all,
and verily "every eye shall see Him."

The reason He has not come again is that the needed work has not been
done by His followers in all countries. His coming is largely
dependent, as we shall later see, upon the establishing of right human
relations. This the church has hindered down the centuries, & has not
helped because of its fanatical zeal to make "Christians" of all
peoples & not followers of the Christ. It has emphasized theological
doctrine, & not love & loving understanding as Christ exemplified it.
The Church has preached the fiery Saul of Tarsus & not the gentle
Carpenter of Galilee. And so, He has waited. But His hour has now
come, because of the people's need in every land & because of the
invocative cry of the masses everywhere & the advice of His disciples
of all faiths & of all world religions.

The uniqueness of the impending mission of the Christ and the
uniqueness of His opportunity consist in the fact that He is able--in
Himself--to give expression to two divine energies: the energy of love
and the energy of will, the magnetic potency of love and the dynamic
effectiveness of the divine will. Never before, in the long, long
history of humanity, has such a revelation been possible.

He is the World Teacher and not a Christian teacher. He Himself told
us that He had other folds and to them He has meant as much as He has
meant to the orthodox Christian. They may not call Him Christ, but
they have their own name for Him and follow Him as truly and
faithfully as their Western bretheren.

Let us look for a moment at the erroneous interpretations given to the
Gospel story. The symbolism of that Gospel story--an ancient
story-presentation often presented down the ages, prior to the coming
of the Christ in Palestine--has been twisted and distorted by
theologians until the crystalline purity of the early teaching and the
unique simplicity of the Christ have disappeared in a travesty of
errors and in a mummery of ritual, money, & human ambitions.

Christ is pictured today as having been born in an unnatural manner,
as having taught and preached for three years and then as having been
crucified and eventually resurrected, leaving humanity in order to
"sit on the right hand of God," in austere and distant pomp. Likewise,
all the other approaches to God by any other people, at any time and
in any country, are regarded by the orthodox Christian as wrong
approaches, as being practiced by so-called "heathen," and as
requiring Christian interference. Every possible effort has been made
to force orthodox Christianity on those who accept the inspiration and
the teachings of the Buddha or of others who have been responsible for
preserving the divine continuity of revelation.

The emphasis has been, as we all well know, upon the "blood sacrifice
of the Christ" upon the Cross and upon a salvation dependent upon the
recognition and acceptance of that sacrifice. The vicarious
at-one-ment has been substituted for the reliance which Christ Himself
enjoined us to place upon our own divinity; the Church of Christ has
made itself famous and futile (as the world war proved) for its narrow
creed, its wrong emphasis, its clerical pomp, its spurious authority,
its material riches... His resurrection is accepted, but the major
appeal of the churches has been upon His death.

Christ has been for two thousand years a silent, passive Figure,
hidden behind a multitude of words written by a multitude of men
(commentators and preachers). The church has pointed us to the dying
Christ upon the Cross and not to the living, working, active, present
Christ Who has been with us in bodily Presence (according to His
promise) for twenty centuries.

....His major task is surely the establishing of right human relations
in every department of human living. I would ask you to use your
imagination...to think out what must be the implications of the task
which confronts Him; I would ask you to ponder on the difficulties
which He must inevitably face---the difficulty, above all, of the mass
intellectual wrong emphasis.

He, the Representative of the love of God, is asked to work again in
the world arena wherein His earlier message has been negated,
forgotten or misinterpreted for two thousand years, and wherein hate
and separativeness have distinguished all men everywhere. This will
plunge Him into a foreign atmosphere and into a situation wherein all
His divine resources will be needed, and will have to be tried out to
the uttermost...That He will ultimately lead His people, humanity,
into Jerusalem is a fact, founded on a secure foundation, but it will
not be into a Jewish city called Jerusalem but into "the place of
peace" (as the word "Jerusalem" means). A careful consideration of the
world situation today and a dedicated use of the imagination will
reveal to the sincere thinker how appalling is the task which He has
undertaken. But He has again "set His face to go to Jerusalem." (Luke
IX.51) He will re-appear and guide mankind into a civilization and a
state of consciousness in which right human relations and worldwide
cooperation for the good of all will be the universal keynote.

We can freely aid in the reconstruction work... if we will familiarize
ourselves and all men whom we can contact with the following facts:

1. That the reappearance of Christ is imminent.
2. That the Christ, immanent in every human heart, can be evoked
in recognition of His appearance.
3. That the circumstances of His return are only symbolically
related in the world Scriptures; this may produce a vital change in
the preconceived ideas of humanity.
4. That the major required preparation is a world at peace;
however that peace must be based on an educated goodwill, which will
lead inevitably to right human relations, and, therefore, to the
establishment (figuratively speaking) of lines of light between nation
and nation, religion and religion, group and group, man and man.

If we can succeed in presenting these four ideas to the world at
large, and thus in overcoming the intelligent criticism that all that
is said is too vague, prophetic, and visionary, we shall have done
much... Christ who will return will not be like the Christ Who
(apparently) departed. He will not be a "man of sorrows"; He will not
be a silent pensive figure; He will be the enunciator of spiritual
statements which will not necessitate interpretation and receive the
wrong interpretation, because He will be present to indicate the true
meaning.

The Son of God is on His way and He cometh not alone. His advance
guard is already here and the Plan which they must follow is already
made and clear. Let recognition be the aim.

The above quotes are from the work of the Tibetan & Alice A. Bailey

According to esoteric teachings the word "Christ" is a title for a
position or function within the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters (also
known as the Brotherhood, the Church Invisible, etc.). It is a group
of very advanced beings with high degrees of 'Christ Consciousness'
who guide our evolution from behind the scenes. Whoever stands at the
head of this Hierarchy is known as the Christ. The present holder of
that office, the Master of all the Masters, has been the Christ for
the past 2,600 years.

He is known to some as the World Teacher. His personal name is
"Maitreya" (MY-TRAY-UH). His energies work through men and women of
goodwill everywhere, regardless of religious, philosophical, or
political affiliations.

In Palestine He manifested Himself as the Christ through Jesus to
inaugurate the Age of Pisces, then beginning. The method He used is
called spiritual overshadowing. His consciousness informed and guided
the actions and teachings of Jesus for the three year period between
His Baptism & the Crucifixion. It was actually the consciousness of
Maitreya which was seen and experienced by those around Jesus.
Maitreya & Jesus continue to work closely together and will soon be
seen working 'shoulder to shoulder' on the world stage.

He prefers to be known simply as 'the Teacher', but is known to people
of different religions by different names. He will soon present His
credentials to the world, and from the world stage inspire mankind to
rebuild the world based upon the principles of sharing, brotherhood &
justice.

His Top Priorities
(to inspire mankind to
[1] Share the world's resources
[2] Restore the earth's ecological balance

He has said:
"I have not come to create followers... Each of you should continue to
develop within your own religious tradition. A real disciple is one
who will respect the traditions. Respect your own religions, your own
ideologies, in brief, your own thoughtform, and you will experience
the Master. Even when you see me, do not run after me. If you run
after me, you will lose me. I cannot be monopolized -- I belong to
everyone.

If you personify me you will create nothing but confusion, chaos,
destruction. If you parade me, you do not know who I am. Even my signs
create only momentary happiness. The happiest moment is when you see
me within your heart.

"Feed your brothers. Remember that mankind is One, children of the One
Father. Make over in trust, the goods of the Earth to all who are in
need. Do this now and save the world."
