Drottinn Maitreya

Drottinn Maitreya

Drottinn Maitreya gegnir embætti Kosmísks Krists og Búddha jarðarinnar. Nafn hans þýðir „kærleiksrík góðvild“ og hann beinir útgeislun hins Kosmíska Krists að þróun jarðar. Verndari jarðarinnar frá Venus. Hann tók við drottni Gátama sem kosmískur Kristur þegar Gátama varð heimsdrottinn við Royal Teton athvarfið í athöfn þann 1. janúar 1956. Sem Kosmískur Kristur fylgist drottinn Maitreya með hugsanlegum breytingum á jörðinni sem og komum og brottförum fallinna engla og framförum holdgervinga Krists.

Í sögu plánetunnar hafa verið fjölmargir búddar sem hafa þjónað þróun mannkyns á þroskaferli sínum til að verða bódhisattvar. Drottinn Maitrey, hinn Kosmíski Kristur, hefur staðist vígslur Búddha. Hann hefur komið fram á sjónarsviðið á þessari öld til að kenna öllum sem hafa farið af vegi hins mikla gúrús Sanat Kumara, sem bæði hann og Gátama eru komnir af.

Hinn sögulegi Maitreya

Maitreya er dýrkaður í Tíbet, Mongólíu, Kína, Japan og um alla Asíu þar sem búddhamenn virða hann sem „hinn miskunnsama“ og komandi Búddha. Þó að Maitreya sé meðtekinn af öllum búddhamönnum, tekur hann að sér margvísleg hlutverk í mismunandi menningarheimum og trúarsöfnuðum. Þessi hlutverk eru meðal annars verndari og endurreisnarmaður Dharma; meðalgöngumaður og verndari; gúrú-meistari sem hefur sjálfur samskipti við, vígir og kennir unnendum sínum; messías sem stígur niður þegar heimurinn er í uppnámi; boðberi sem hin guðdómlega móðir sendir til að bjarga börnum sínum; og hinn hlæjandi Búddha í zen.

Búddhíski fræðimaðurinn Evans-Wentz lýsir Maitreya sem „búddhískum Messíasi sem mun endurnýja heiminn með krafti guðlegs kærleika og hefja nýja öld alheimsfriðar og bræðralags. Hann er um þessar mundir í Tushita himni þaðan sem hann mun stíga niður og fæðast meðal manna og verða Búddha í framtíðinni til að opinbera að nýju, eins og Gátama og hin langlífa konungsætt fyrri Búddha, leiðina sem leiðir til hinnar miklu frelsunar.“<ref. > W. Y. Evans-Wentz, ritstj., The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation (London: Oxford University Press, 1954) bls. xxvii.</ref>

“Munkurinn með hampskjóðuna”

The “Munkurinn með hampskjóðuna” Japan, 17. öld

Í kínverskum búddhadómi er drottinn Maitreya stundum sýndur sem „munkurinn með hempupokann“. („Bonze“ er búddhamunkur.) Í þessu hlutverki sínu birtist Maitreya sem bústinn, kátan, hlæjandi Búddha með pottvömb. Hann er oft sýndur þar sem hann situr og heldur á poka, með glaðvær börn sem klifra um hann allan. Fyrir Kínverjum táknar hann velmegun, efnislegan auð og andlega sátt; börnin tákna blessun stórrar fjölskyldu.

Búddhíski fræðimaðurinn Kenneth Ch'en skrifar um þessa mynd af Maitreya:

Einn þáttur í fari hans sem skar hann úr — hann bar hamppoka hvert sem hann fór. Í þennan poka setti hann allt sem hann fékk og af þessum sökum vakti pokinn mikla forvitni, sérstaklega meðal barnanna. Þau eltu hann og klifruðu um hann allan og neyddu hann til að opna poka sinn. Við slíkt tækifæri setti hann pokann á jörðina, tæmdi innihaldið eitt af öðru og setti það aftur í pokann á sama yfirvegaða hátt. Framkoman sem honum var eignuð var öll í ráðgátustíl og þótti sýna [zen] einkenni. ... Einu sinni spurði munkur hann um töskuna sína; svaraði hann með því að leggja hana á jörðina. Þegar hann var spurður hvað þetta þýddi axlaði hann töskuna og fór í burtu. Einu sinni var hann spurður hvað pokinn væri gamall og hann svaraði að hún væri jafngömul geimnum.

This bag demonstrates the mystery of space and the miracle of space under the dominion of the Buddha. Its timelessness shows the Buddha’s mastery of segments of eternity, hence eternity itself, through the flame of Mother.

Ættartala Sanat Kumara

Lord Maitreya and Lord Gautama were the first from among mankind to respond to Sanat Kumara’s magnetic pull to face God and to return to that divine estate in which man had first been created and which he was destined to outpicture in the world of form.

The time came when the one who had served the earth as her Planetary Buddha chose to return to his own planetary chain, leaving a vacancy in this office for one from among earth’s guardians to fill. Lord Maitreya applied for the initiations necessary to qualify for this office. Centuries of self-discipline, of training, of devotion and of mastery were required in order for him to attain his present stature. His colleague through all of these classrooms of experience was Lord Gautama, who, by a margin won the buddhic degree first, while Lord Maitreya was accorded the office next in line—that of World Teacher.

As World Teacher, his mission was to design for each two-thousand-year cycle the specific type of spiritual instruction most required for the human race for that period. Whenever there was a readied and willing instrument, he was to act as mediator, polarizing the atoms of the four lower bodies of that lifestream, so that the divine plan of that one’s individualized I AM Source might flow through its instrument, outpicturing in the world of form the works of a Christ.

Lord Maitreya is the teacher of Jesus, who, with Kuthumi, now holds the office of World Teacher. Maitreya demonstrates on behalf of an evolving humanity the cosmic consciousness of the Christ in all areas of human endeavor and its universality throughout cosmos. He is known as the Great Initiator and was, in fact, the initiator of Jesus in his individualization of the Christ flame in his final embodiment as world saviour and exemplar of the way, the truth and the life to all aspirants on the path of personal Christhood.

Launhelgar Maitreaya

Maitreya was himself a chela of Lord Himalaya (manu of the fourth root race) and has his own Focus of Illumination in the Himalayan Mountains. He was the guru of twin flames in the Garden of Eden, which was a mystery school of the Brotherhood. The Mystery School of Eden, located on Lemuria near where San Diego is today, was the first mystery school on planet Earth. And Maitreya, referred to as the Lord God in Genesis, was its first hierarch.

Since the expulsion of man and woman from the Garden of Eden because of the misuse of the sacred fire in the incorrect application of free will, the Great White Brotherhood has maintained mystery schools and retreats that have served as repositories for the knowledge of the sacred fire that is vouchsafed to twin flames when they have demonstrated the discipline necessary to keep the way of the Tree of Life. The Essene Community was a repository for certain of the ancient mysteries as was the school at Crotona conducted by Pythagoras.

Following the sinking of Lemuria and Atlantis, the mystery schools that had been established there were relocated in China, India and Tibet as well as in Europe, the Americas and the Pacific fire ring, where they were maintained for thousands of years until, one by one, they were overrun by the hordes of darkness.

Wherever these schools have been destroyed, the ascended masters who sponsored them withdrew their flames and sacred shrines to their retreats on the etheric plane. Here their disciples are trained between embodiments and in their finer bodies (during sleep or samadhi) in order that they might attain that divine Self-knowledge that, until Saint Germain once again advanced it in the twentieth century, had not been available to mankind en masse in the physical plane for centuries. Maitreya has explained that in this time the outer world itself has become the retreat in which each man will take his initiations and, passing these, will gain his eternal freedom, his ascension in the light.

The long-awaited “Coming Buddha,” Maitreya has indeed come to reopen his Mystery School to assist Saint Germain and Portia, twin flames of the seventh ray and hierarchs of Aquarius, to usher in the New Age. On May 31, 1984, he dedicated the Heart of the Inner Retreat and the entire Royal Teton Ranch to the path and teaching of the Cosmic Christ in order that those who departed from his tutelage, going the way of Serpents (the fallen angels who led Eve astray), might be restored and the children of the light follow the Son of God in the regeneration.

As well as the Focus of Illumination, his retreat in the Himalayas, Maitreya maintains an etheric retreat over Tientsin, China, southeast of Peking (Beijing). With Lord Gautama he also teaches students seeking to graduate from earth’s schoolroom at the Eastern and Western Shamballa and at the Royal Teton Retreat.

As the sponsor of twin flames, he is the friend of all initiates of the sacred fire. When called upon, he will give the illumination of the Christ and the strength of the Word to pass the initiations that come under his sponsorship.

His banner is the thoughtform of a mighty clipper ship as it comes in with the tides at eventide to fetch souls of mankind to take them to another shore. His musical keynote is “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life.”
