It will not be long before the world realizes that something quite extraordinary is taking place. Already, signs are appearing that many people are becoming aware of a new atmosphere, a new turn of thought, difficult to place or describe, which gives them hope and alleviates the stress of the recent past. Something, intangible but strongly present, is making itself felt on a wide scale. Those who know, of course, of the presence of Maitreya and His Group, have for long experienced this feeling of comfort and quiet joy, this confident assurance that all will be well, no matter the circumstances of the day. In growing numbers, now, this sense of security and ultimate good amid the chaos and challenges of the present, is strengthening. Slowly and surely, people are awakening to the presence of they know not what, but dimly sense that it is for the good and safety of all. Thus does the Great Lord ease the pain of the present conditions and prepare the multitudes to respond to His words. Thus does He ensure their understanding of the priorities of the complex international situation which threatens the well-being of all. Many will be amazed by their unusual calm and objectivity in conditions of stress. Many more will wonder at their ready tolerance of long-standing opponents and rivals. Thus the Great Lord works to mitigate the suffering of so many.

Trust
In time, men will associate their new-found ease with the One Who speaks so simply of trust, of sharing and peace. They will recognize that the simplicity belies a profound understanding of the human condition and the needs of all. So encouraged, they will follow His advocacy and raise their voices in response. Thus will the Voice of the People grow in strength and purpose and, echoing round the world, will call loudly to the leaders for sanity, justice and peace. Then will the men of power begin to realize that their day is over, that the people understand and demand their God-given right to health and happiness, freedom and justice, trust and blessed peace. Thus will it be, and thus will the peoples of Earth call for the Great Lord to speak directly to all, to cement their growing unity, and to indicate the steps to transformation of the world. Then will Maitreya reveal His true identity and nature. The Day of Declaration will be for humanity a new beginning, and will inspire from men, as never before, the best that is in them.
