The forecasts were given primarily to illuminate one of the most
important spiritual laws governing our lives: the Law of cause and effect. By grasping
and working within this law, Maitreya says, we can resolve the present social, political,
economic and environmental crises.
Benjamin Creme writes in
MAITREYA’S MISSION, Volume Two, “They (the
forecasts) are predictions of trends and events set in motion by humanity itself under the Law
of Cause and Effect. Maitreya seeks to illuminate the working of that law for us through His
scientific understanding of the law in action. He is not enunciating divine fiats nor seeing
into the future by clairvoyance, divine or otherwise. He is showing that our actions, if
pursued, eventuate through the Law of Cause and Effect, in specific events. However, humanity
has free will and at any time can change the course of those events, for better or worse. Under
the Law of Free Will, Maitreya may not interfere and impose solutions which we might prefer to
the results of our own actions.”
The energies of
Aquarius, synthesis and brotherhood, and Maitreya’s energy of Love have inspired men and women
to bring about the changes in the world, which He forecast. In 1988, He forecast the release of
Nelson Mandela and the process of détente in South Africa. Again in 1988, when Mrs. Thatcher was
at the peak of her powers, Maitreya said that she would resign. In the same year, He stated that
governments everywhere would have to give way to the “voice of the people”, a statement which
found its most impressive proof in Eastern Europe. Furthermore, Maitreya forecast the cease-fire
between Iran and Iraq; the withdrawal of foreign troops from Angola; the global rapproachement
between guerrilla forces and national governments; the Armenian earthquake in 1988, and those in
California and China in 1989; the internal problems of the Soviet Union; the establishment of
peace in Lebanon. In 1988 He promised: “Many people will be healed from AIDS through the
practice of prayer”.
Dutch television announced in October 1995 that more than 400 people had
been cured of AIDS through prayer in Uganda. In1991 Maitreya forecast the election of a Democrat
as President of the United States and the positive developments at that time in the relation
between Israel and the Palestinians. However, His 1988 forecast that “the Palestinians will have
their own country..the Israelis will be back in their own country” has yet to manifest because
the politicians in all countries involved have yet to cooperatively resolve the causes of
conflict in the Middle East: separatism, failure to share resources and desire to dominate. The
timing always depends upon humanity’s choices. Again in 1988, Maitreya forecast “a major
international stock market crash, beginning in Japan”, the effect of a cause, which is the
irrational economic system which continues to dominate the world.
