Recap of last year's appearance (from coasttocoast.com)
The Coming of Maitreya
"Benjamin Crème of shareintl.org, made an eloquent appearance on Tuesday night's show, speaking of the "incredibly evolved master" known as Maitreya. He described him as a being who is literally millions of years old, and who has for the first time in history come himself to our physical world. Crème, who is 80 years old, says that in the past Maitreya "overshadowed" the consciousness of such great figures as Jesus and Buddha.
"They are ignorant, misinformed, and afraid," Crème said of those who claim that Maitreya is the Antichrist. "They have never experienced his love and his humanity," he continued. According to Crème, Maitreya is waiting to make himself known at the proper time, which he believes may be when the developed world has a major economic collapse. It's "the only thing that will bring humanity face to face with reality…a burst in their economic security," Crème said. It is the giant gap between the haves and have nots that urgently needs to be redressed in our world, Crème pointed out. This total lack of balance he states causes the "inability to see the world as one."
"I was filled with the love of all the world, tears rolled down my cheek," Crème said of his first telepathic encounter with Maitreya. He described being "inside a great sphere of white light," where on the right side was an amalgamation of past events, the left side the future. And he heard Maitreya's voice saying, "I myself am coming, and you'll have a role to play if you accept it."
"Benjamin Crème, tonight's guest, first began presenting messages from Maitreya, the "World Teacher," in public forums in 1977. He says that Maitreya had spent the last 2,000 years in a "body of light" at a retreat in the Himalayas, but has now resurrected in a physical form that he "self-created" and that he lives and works in London. Many of Maitreya's messages are based around the idea of sharing and global cooperation.
"According to Crème, Maitreya has the ability to appear and disappear at will, and has in fact materialized in gatherings around the world, where he takes on the form of a Messianic figure recognizable to that culture. Most notable was his appearance in Nairobi, Kenya in 1988 where he was said to be identified as "the Christ" in front of 6,000 people. There has been speculation, particularly among certain guests on Coast that Maitreya is actually the Antichrist. In fact, Kathleen Keating said he appeared suddenly in her backyard wearing a pony tail and an Armani suit. Crème believes the Antichrist is an energy rather than a person, and that it has already come and gone in the form of Hitler and his associates.
One of the most startling claims about Maitreya concerns what has been called "The Day of Declaration." According to Crème's affiliated website, shareintl.org,"Maitreya will be invited to speak to the entire world via the linked television satellite networks…We will see his face on television, but he will not actually speak. Instead, each of us will hear his words telepathically in our own language as he simultaneously impresses the minds of all humanity. Even those who are not watching Maitreya on television will have this experience. His energy of love will enter the hearts of all, galvanizing humanity to save the world."
END QUOTE FROM WEB SITE
A bunch of shysters making money on a weird ideas. Still, there are nutcases around who'll believe anything. I'm annoyed that coast-to-coast broadcasts all over the country on Clear Channel, an allegedly fairly conservative radio company. The show frequently features guests who delve into "arcane" topics and end their speils with major Bush bashing, sometimes as messages from the beyond....
"I was filled with the love of all the world, tears rolled down my cheek," Crème said of his first telepathic encounter with Maitreya.
Those tears were from the stench of someone millions of years old who hadn't learned the art of bathing.
Who is Kathleen Keating? This dude is definitely an AC type. Money makes the world go round, I guess.
Don't flatter yourself.
I recently snagged my second (Or was it my third?) "666" post on the Freeper Canteen.
Yes Yazid. I bear the mark of the beast.
-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
Translation: I hopped out of the shower, slapped my hand on the mirror and took a picture.
WATCH the response to SKERRY on the part of 30-50% of the SHEEPLE.
Are you really sure that in a very desperate world, such a character would not be widely hailed as a miraculous problem solver for the world's oppressed?
Are you so very sure that he would not be ushered in as the wildly cheered new world leader?
It's clear the masses are not overly informed and are negligibly thoughtful, if at all.
666 = Number of the Beast
664 = Neighbor of the Beast
333 = Eric the Half-a-Beast
" Kathleen Keating said he appeared suddenly in her backyard wearing a pony tail and an Armani suit."
That's just off-putting. I'd expect a well tailored English wool.
Is that a product similar to 'Martin Sheen'? Some kind of floorwax, or dessert topping, or perhaps a delightful floorwax AND dessert topping?
"The rapture comes before the Antichrist is revealed. Freepers will never get to see the Antichrist anyway, so who cares?. :-)"
Really who told you this????
AMEN! AMEN!
We can only hope that Kerry will follow suit.
Bump for the daytime crowd.
Jayna Davis was riveting this time. Coast has had some great guests. Bonnie Crystal this weekend was very interesting. The bloke on about space aliens a couple days ago was full of bologna, and if the show does anything it trains us to be expert at spotting BS.
Agree, Jayna Davis was superb. Fascinating that she believes Nichols and McVeigh were mules for Iraqi terrorist group. Could be.
But most nights I turn on coast to coast, I turn it right off again. Enough already with the space aliens. I wish Barbara Simpson could be on more often. She totally shuts down DemonRat callers.
I think I'll try to catch the Creme act tonight.
I'd heard Jayna Davis several times on different radio shows. Not for three hours though. Very compelling.
So, how was it?
The spokesman is coherent and well-spoken. It is a good story.
