Benjamin Crème

Benjamin Crème is a British artist, international lecturer and long-time student of esoteric philosophy. He is founder of Share International, a group dedicated to awaiting and announcing a special World Teacher he calls Maitreya. Crème is also responsible for establishment of the TARA Canada Network as well as several other Buddhist oriented “Tara Centers” around the globe. Tara, itself means, “star.” It is also the name of a goddess typically associated with Tibetan Buddhism, a goddess considered to be the mother of liberation. According to the Share International’s webpage, Creme is in constant telepathic contact (since 1959) with an undisclosed entity a member of spiritual beings he calls the “Hierarchy of the Masters of Wisdom," but this entity is NOT Maitreya, (the expected world teacher.) Creme just gets the inside scoop from this spiritual beings about Maitreya and announces them to the world.

Crème’s Share Internationals group/organization took out full-page ads in 1982 announcing to the world via many major newspapers advertising the coming of Maitreya that read, "The Christ Is Now Here." It said that this World Teacher would be recognized as “the One” waited for by every religious group, “Buddhists, Jews, Christians and Moslems alike,” and that he was now alive and ready to assume his rightful place on the throne of world power. However Maitreya, whoever he is, has kept the world in suspense all these years and has not made himself known to the public. Crème’s Tara Center published a similar full-page ad in USA Today in 1987. This ad again mentioned this person he calls Lord Maitreya and described him as "A great World Teacher for people of every religion and no religion." One year after this Crème appeared on the Art Bell radio program called Coast to Coast AM to re-announce Lord Maitreya’s appearance. And even though he declared that Maitreya’s “great spiritual stature would galvanize and inspire humanity to create a brilliant golden civilization.” The world has yet to see too much more than a few ads... and a photo from his Share International reported "first public appearance" ... June 11, 1988, in Nairobi, Kenya.

In September 2009, a new report came from Share International, complete with a you tube video the message is that "in the very near future a large, bright 'star' will appear in the sky visible to all throughout the world. " We are told that after this, (around a week later,) Maitreya will give his first interview on a major US television. The website also says that since January there have been sightings of the star... (Could it be an" NR 87 Christmas Miracle?"* it reads. )

Christmas?

Miracle?

The reports of sightings, it says, have come from Norway, South Africa, the United States, Dubai and Qatar. Something is on the forefront of the New Age mindsets.... something, or someone that Benjamin Creme calls, Maitreya?

    Benjamin Creme is a very interesting man. I've been reading his material for a number of years and believe that he is speaking the truth. To sum it up, he says that humanity is like one huge family. Thanks to a few insanely greedy people (the ruling elite) who rule the world, we are a very dysfunctional family. The ruling elite like the world as it is, with all the horrors (war, poverty, drug addiction, hunger) and enjoy their private jets, servants, prestige and power very much. The idea of changing the world so that everyone can be comfortable, of making the changes that will allow our massive family to become a functional family scares them. The required changes are a huge threat to their monopolies. Too bad for them, because things are changing and will change for the better. Creme has been saying that we will see Maitreya shortly after the corrupt economic system collapses... so we're getting very close. We will all soon know that the purpose of life is to have "right relationships", not to exploit and fight each other. see: www.share-international.org for the latest.

    Thanks for your comment.

    You know, Benjamin Creme is no doubt an interesting man with a message, however, there is a problem with the message. Besides being vague about Maitreya and the star, his words have not ever materialized, except in the minds and hearts of those who desire to find hope in thinking that what he says "might" be true, but the full page ads and the hype about the "star" are nothing but vague.

    Don't you think that if what Creme said in 1982 was TRUE... the world would know it by now to be true? I mean, where is this man? Where is this star?

    Oh, yeah... there has been sightings of the star here and there... but yet even after a week of sightings by some, there has been no "major" television interviews. Keep in mind also that there are no other appearances of this man who appeared in Kenya 1988 either. This is a problem.

    People are indeed looking for a savior... but God has already sent one (Jesus Christ) and yes, (to answer Share's website remark) it was a Christmas miracle*...(one prophesied by Issiah and John the Baptist too...)

    Benjamin Creme's messages are real messages but they are nothing compared to the message of Jesus who gives the world not only hope for today, (because in him we do become a family, the family of God,) but also because in him we have hope for eternity (that because he rose from the dead we will too.)

    The message of Jesus is a message you can believe in, if not for the miracles he did, then for the truth of his words... the wisdom... and if not for either of those things, then because he rose from the dead and changed the course of human history as his message filled with world. This message is real hope for a dying world... and it's substance is not just a "better" world wide economic system for everyone, it's the message of love and kindness from God to man and between people of every tongue and tribe and nation...

    Quite frankly, I do not think that it gets any better than the hope we have in Jesus, and certainly it's something completely different being offered in Creme's you tube videos and full page ads.
