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.
