Futurist Benjamin Creme continues the extraordinary story he began in The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom. He recounts further events in a story beyond comparison--the return to our world of the Christ, known as Maitreya, and His group of Spiritual Masters. As human consciousness steadily matures, many of the ancient `mysteries" of the evolutionary journey are now being revealed. This volume can be seen as a guidebook for humanity as it takes its first steps into the spiritual life. Its canvas is vast: from the new teachings of the Christ to meditation and karma; from life after death and reincarnation to healing and social transformation; from initiation and the role of service to the Seven Rays; from Leonardo da Vinci and Mozart to Sathya Sai Baba. It sets the scene and prepares the way for the work of Maitreya, as World Teacher, and the creation of a new and better life for all. It is a powerful message of hope.
