Whenever, as now, man is in a quandary, unsure whether to go forward or back, to the left or the right, there emerges an interesting phenomenon: signs are looked for, even by those who do not believe in signs; unexplainable happenings are taken seriously and given meaning; men search for the key that will open the door through which they must go to the future, unsure, as yet, of what that future may hold for them.
The signs that would guide them are there in abundance but men soon forget the wonders which have been lavished on them for many years. Thus, in the main, men miss the very indications for which they search and for which they beg.
The time is soon coming when men will remember the signs and accept them as true portents of the days to come. They will understand them as a planned manifestation synchronized with the emergence of Maitreya and His group of Masters at this unique time in the history of the world. Many and varied have been these signals to men that something momentous and wonderful is afoot on Earth. For those with eyes to see, they have stood as a reminder to man that there are many areas of life that remain unknown and mysterious, that there are laws of which men know but little, and, above all, that man is not alone.

Confirmation
Since there are signs, there are creators of the signs. All religious groups await and expect their chosen divine revelation and read the signs as confirmation of their faith. Such confirmation sustains them in perilous times and gives them hope for a better future. In this way a climate of expectancy and hope is created among many millions and prepares them for the events which now are imminent. Few can deny the signs although their meaning may be obscure. They quicken the intuition and the imagination of men and open their hearts to the revelations which are to come.

Endless
From statues which weep and move to light patterns which adorn the fronts of buildings across the world; from shining crosses of light to milk-drinking Hindu gods, the signs are endless. Few can have been untouched by these wonders.
Doubters and sceptics, of course, are ever to be found. But not for long. Very soon, the climate of expectancy will grow and register firmly in the minds and hearts of men everywhere, and into that expectant atmosphere Maitreya will enter and begin His open mission. Thus will it be.
