| The entry of Maitreya |
| by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme |
| When, as now, man is at the crossroads, awaiting guidance on which direction to take, he sets up an invocative cry for help. Inevitably, when the cry has reached a certain pitch, We, your Elder Brothers, respond and answer. Thus is it today as men flounder wildly in the chaos of their own making, afraid to take the only steps which will save them from further chaos. | | Into this maelstrom Maitreya is about to enter, fully aware of the task which lies ahead. Only a Being of His immeasurable wisdom could accept such a burden. Only someone of His incomparable courage could undertake such a task. | | Out of the anarchic conditions of the present must He construct the new and better order. Out of the agony of millions must He fashion a new world. | | Who is there to help Him in His work of salvage? | | Who would rally to His cause and aid their brothers and sisters? | | Now, as never before, is the opportunity to serve a world in labour, a new world waiting to be born. | | Maitreya seeks to lift man into his birthright. | | He seeks to inspire the creation of a new and happier world. | | The Great Lord seeks to invest each individual life with sanctity and worth. | | He seeks to rid the world of violence and war. | | Where will He find His helpers? | | Who are ready to respond? | | Who have the courage to aid the Lord of Love? | | He knows already those on whom He can depend. | | Make ready to see Him. | | Burnish bright your resolve. | | Be not dismayed by the immensity of the task. | | Be simple and heartfelt in all you do. | | Maitreya approaches, fast, on a shining white steed. | | His mantram is: fear not! | | All, in time, will be renewed. | | All, in time, will be returned to the Light. | | Consider this: “Take your brother’s need as the measure for your action, and solve the problems of the world. There is no other course.” | | Into your unhappy world now steps Maitreya. He knows your agony and suffering better even than you do yourselves, for He knows, too, the joy which is your birthright. | | That joy would He restore to you in full and perfect measure. For that is He among you. | | Take Him to your hearts and let Him serve you. Know Him as your friend and Brother of Old. Let Him guide you and teach you; thus will you grow in your divinity. | | The time has come when you shall see His face. His smile of love will beckon you to His side. You will find your love magnified a thousandfold and, giving it in service to His Cause, enter into the Plan of which you are a part. |

| Share International Magazine |
|
| The April Share International magazine is the first issue published since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Editor's note: "This issue aims to provide a perspective to reassure and comfort readers. We present articles, responses and statements by Benjamin Creme, his Master and Maitreya, which will surely bolster the reader's conviction that humanity has never been alone – especially not in moments of crisis. The words of Maitreya and BC's Master may heighten the sense that They are closer than ever before." We might expect that subsequent issues will follow world developments very closely and, as always, offer insights not found elsewhere. Although the April issue has already been mailed, you may receive it as your first issue for a new subscription or renewal of an expired subscription received no later than April 22nd (click the Subscribe Here link below). It will not be sold as a single issue. |

| Spring Festivals |
| During the spring full moons, spiritual energies are at their most powerful because of the sun–moon–earth alignment and the potency of these ancient festivals. Group meditation, and particularly Transmission Meditation, provides a unique opportunity for us to invoke these evolutionary energies for spiritual service – something especially helpful during this time of planetary transformation. Transmission group members are encouraged to ‘connect’ with any Share International groups at the time/s the groups have chosen. This information is sent to groups in a separate communication. If you are new to Transmission Meditation, we invite you to join a special Zoom introduction and meditation on Thursday, April 14, 7:30 pm EDT celebrating the Aries Festival. To request the Zoom link, send an email to our Contact page.
Below we have provided a brief description of each Festival and some simple meditation guidelines. You may also wish to sit quietly and meditate on the exact day of the April full moon, April 16th.

Easter Festival (Aries)
Date: April 16
"The first festival of spring marks a process of rebirth and revitalization. It is celebrated at the full moon in Aries, after the vernal equinox, and usually occurs in April. In the Christian tradition, it is called Easter, the festival of resurrection. It celebrates the risen Christ, but resurrection implies more than the one-time arising from the grave of the physical body. In each minute of each hour, we have the possibility to be born anew, to let go of the past and move on. When old patterns of thought and emotion are discarded, when old habits and beliefs are outgrown and set aside, we are free to meet every new situation unconditionally. Higher energies rush in to fill the place of expectancy that we have created, and the inner light expands. We open to life more abundant and are made new." |

The Wesak Festival (Taurus)
Date: May 16
"The festival of Wesak occurs at the time of the full moon in Taurus, usually in May. In the East, it commemorates the enlightenment of the Buddha and is widely celebrated. Wesak marks the high-point in the spiritual year, for it is said that at this time each year, the Buddha returns to the physical plane for a brief moment, bringing an inflow of life and spiritual stimulation to vitalize all of humanity. Thousands of pilgrims gather every year in a remote valley in the Himalayas to re-enact an ancient sacred ceremony based on the legend of Wesak, which has to do with the sharing of the waters of life." |

Festival of the Christ/The Festival of Goodwill (Gemini)
Date: June 14
"This will be the Festival of the spirit of humanity aspiring towards God, seeking conformity with the will of God and dedicated to the expression of right human relations. This will be fixed annually in relation to the Full Moon of June. It will be a day whereon the spiritual and divine nature of mankind will be recognised. On this Festival for two thousand years the Christ has represented humanity and has stood before the Hierarchy and in the sight of Shamballa as the God-Man, the Leader of His people, and "the Eldest in a great family of brothers" (Romans VIII: 29). Each year at that time He has preached the last sermon of the Buddha, before the assembled Hierarchy. This will, therefore, be a festival of deep invocation and appeal, of a basic aspiration towards fellowship, of human and spiritual unity, and will represent the effect in the human consciousness of the work of the Buddha and of the Christ." (The above quotes are from The Reappearance of the Christ by Alice Bailey, pp. 154-157)
On the day of the full moon, groups throughout the world link up mentally to form a conduit through which these great spiritual energies can reach humanity. You are invited to take part in this world service with these simple steps:
- Sit in a comfortable position, with head upright and spine straight.
- To start the meditation, close your eyes, focus your attention at the ajna center (between the eyebrows) and say "The Great Invocation" aloud.
- Visualize yourself connected to a vast network of triangles surrounding the globe.
- Keep your attention at the ajna center throughout the meditation. If your attention drops or your mind wanders, silently and inwardly think the mantram "OM" to refocus. Don’t meditate on “OM”, but simply use it to refocus when needed.
- Meditate for as long as you can on this day, but do not direct the energy anywhere. The Masters of Wisdom will know where it is needed most.

| The brotherhood of nations |
“ | Nations should not merge into one and thereby lose their identity. ‘Even if you merge with Me, your individual identity remains.’ The individual identity of a nation must likewise be enshrined. At the same time, nations can and will experience brotherhood, common goals and common aspirations. But it is ‘un-divine’ for a giant to devour your identity, both in the case of individuals and of nations. |

Mountain West Region |
| |
| The Rocky Mountain West group gave three well-attended talks at holistic expos during the recent March full moon weekend. These talks focused on The Gathering of the Forces of Light by Benjamin Creme and other background material regarding the Space Brothers and Maitreya, because the UFO curiosity factor seems to be the best draw at the moment. After the talks, people visited the booth for more information.
|
|
Nine people attended the “UFOs and Their Spiritual Mission” talk at the Denver Body-Mind-Spirit Expo, few of whom had heard about the Masters of Wisdom. Prior to the event, some co-workers re-circulated advice Maitreya had given to a group in 2018. He had emphasized that the main thing to do is just show up with the information and wait for people to approach – not to worry about results or numbers.
|
|
The group members were amazed at the wonderful interactions they had during the day! Maitreya has said that many who are attracted to this story already have most of the information in their hearts, and that certainly seemed to be the case. The few new people who were somewhat open to the message seemed relieved to hear of something so hopeful!

| Advertorial in The Edge magazine (update) |
| |
As previously reported, from January through March 2022, The Edge, a Midwest digital and print holistic magazine, featured our article “Hope and Action: Antidotes to Despair” along with a home page banner ad on their website and an interview with a co-worker on Edge Talk Radio (watch the video here). The campaign response was very positive, with 1,147 clicks to the banner which took readers to the article. The same article was published in their March/April print edition which has a circulation throughout the Twin Cities and the Dakotas. At the beginning of March we took the site owner’s suggestion to switch the banner to attract new viewers. The very next day there were 37 new readers. Groups sponsoring banner ads may want to consider this technique.

The Importance of Transmission Meditation
“It is impossible to over-emphasize the importance of the work of transmission groups – the constant channeling of energies directed by the Christ and the Masters. This is probably the most important work that all of us can easily be engaged in – whatever else, whatever other activities we might have in connection with the Plan or whatever other service activity we might be involved in. At the present it is of vital importance in creating a pool of energy and, in conjunction with meditation and prayer, helping to invoke the Christ into the outer arena of the world, to enable Him to begin His mission in the full open sense of the word.” – Benjamin Creme
|
We encourage you to first learn about Transmission Meditation from the sources below and then connect with the meditation group coordinator for your region (see regional links above). During Covid, groups are temporarily not meeting in person but via Zoom link. If you would like to participate in one of these weekly online meditations – which includes one during the monthly full moon period – please email your name, city and state using our contact page.
