Am I mixing him up with the bloke you were familiar with?

LOL Quix — I wasn't "familiar" with him; we just drained a fifth of Dewars between ourselves once upon a time! :^) (He really likes his scotch.)

In any case, having viewed the videos, this is the Benjamin Creme that I knew and whose works I "studied" back in the day when President Reagan was in office.

Anyhoot, at the time I participated in many "group meditations" which he led. But listening to his lectures, I came to regard him as your standard, run-of-the-mill British socialist. He hated Reagan, who I much admired then and now. We had quite an interesting chat over our scotch, but it was all about political ideology, especially of the economic kind. Which in the final analysis is basically all Creme (pronounced "Krem") and Share International really care about, and why the UN recognizes (and funds) them as a vitally important NGO devoted to "spiritual issues."

All this Maitreya business is so much bunk — it's simply a cover story, or pretext for inexorable globalization, for the concentration of all political power in the hands of an international elite, a UN on steroids. It is simply a cadge to get people to accept personal enslavement on high-sounding "spiritual" grounds.

Share International, Creme, and this fictitious Maitreya speak in terms of abstract "humanity," not in terms of individual human persons — for whom they really have nothing but contempt. If you don't think their way, then you are a "bad person"....

In the end, Creme is just your garden variety post-modern progressive who, like all progressives, strongly feels the allure of concentrated social, economic, and political power and wants to wield it. His appeals to spirituality and religious traditions are simply so much window dressing....

And my impression of his devoted followers, then and now: They are sheep who do not realize they are being set up for exploitation. Totally mindless to boot.

JMHO FWIW

THANKS THANKS.

MUCH APPRECIATED.

I THINK YOU’RE QUITE RIGHT.

Thank you so very much for sharing your personal experiences and illuminating insights, dearest sister in Christ!

He certainly sounds that way!

The ease whereby Obama mesmerized so many makes me wonder whether the world has become gullible enough to accept Creme's Maitreya. If so, then...

Maranatha, Jesus!!!
