Long-time co-workers will remember that Benjamin Creme was interviewed a number of times on the “Art Bell Show”, a very popular late-night radio program dealing with paranormal, alternative ideas, and the unexplained. The successor to that show, “Coast to Coast AM” with George Noory, is now re-opening the “Art Bell Vault” and broadcasting a selection of vintage programs. Up first will be an interview with Benjamin Creme from 1998 where he talks about Maitreya’s presence in the world and shares insights on extraterrestrials. Access to this special programming is only available to those who subscribe to the “C2C Insider” service but, given that 23 years have elapsed, this is likely to be a large number of people who will hear our information for the first time.

Over the past two years, most booths, expos and lectures have been cancelled, but with the availability of vaccines and mask mandates, some of the event sponsors are beginning to rebound. Depending on their perceived vulnerability in each situation, some of our groups have resumed their in-person outreach – as we began to report in September. In December, Share International volunteers in New York City tabled at the Awaken Wellness Fair in Tarrytown, New York – an open, welcoming venue. One volunteer gave a power point talk titled “Who is Maitreya?” that covered our basic information. She then showed an early video of Benjamin Creme’s press conference in which he described Maitreya in detail. As is usually the case, the information was new to most of the audience, who seemed quite moved at times.
