Who is the Maitreya?

So this word keeps popping up: Maitreya. Who or what? And i find the following site, which has all the info you could wish for:

http://share-international.org/maitreya/Ma_main.htm

"He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. Christians know him as the Christ, and expect his imminent return. Jews await him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah.
Although the names are different, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is Maitreya (pronounced my-tray-ah)."

Oh really?

"The Great Invocation, used by the Christ for the first time in June 1945, "

So he's old right?
No.

The June 1945 invocation was by Alice Bailey, of the Luciferian Press ... yo know, the UN officail printing press? (now renamed to Lucis Trust, for obvious reasons)

And thanks to wiki we have this:

"Maitreya’s overshadowing of Jesus

The followers of Benjamin Creme and Alice A. Bailey believe in the Nestorian/Gnostic Christology promulgated by C.W. Leadbeater which asserts that Maitreya overshadowed the Master Jesus during the Ministry of Jesus, such that there were two beings (two souls) in one body--Maitreya was Christ and the Master Jesus was Jesus of Nazareth; the combination of the two beings--two entities in one body--functioned as Jesus Christ. [8][9]Those adherent to the Ascended Master Teachings, a group of religions based on Theosophy, believe in the existence of the Maitreya; however, they believe that although he encouraged the mission of Jesus, he did not actually overshadow Jesus. [10]"

SO we have: Theosophy, a new messiah, (who is the old one only better) and peace and love a happiness to all the good children of the world.

As per his handler "benjamin creme":

"Maitreya materialized a physical body for himself in early 1977 in the Himalayas and then on Friday, 8 July 1977 he booked an airplane flight from Pakistan to London.[16] When he landed in London, this was the esoteric Second Coming of Christ (since Maitreya had not yet revealed himself to the world). He then took up residence in secret in the Brick Lane neighborhood of that city."

So not only is all that, he's just a regular guy. Here is something else that pokes my "wtf" buttons: (wrt the great invocation)

"It can be made even more potent. Used in triangular formation it becomes very potent. If you wish to work this way, arrange with two friends to use the Invocation, aloud, daily. You need not be in the same town, or country, or say it at the same time of day. Simply say it when convenient for each one, and, linking-up mentally with the two other members, visualize a triangle of white light circulating above your heads and see it linked to a network of such triangles covering the world."

Jesus Christ said, "I am come in my father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." (John 5:43).

This maitreya is coming in his own name, can also guess he'll produce miracles and wonders on demand. All very happy new age and all that, saying the right things. The warning bell comes from a few things, most notably the "forecasting" of his appearance. Whatever you or i think, there are people who both believe in lucifer's supremacy, and this blokes necessity.

Fortunately, he's not the only, there are by my count 4 people so claim messianity, that have material assistance to back up that claim, these aren't crazy men, the have the backing of the UN, and other influential organisations.

And the fact that the bible said so. I'm not following the "bible script", they are. Even if you wish to trash the entire bible as fiction, THESE PEOPLE believe very much in it. They also believe they're right and it's wrong. That's what scares me the most. Self fulfilling prophecy anyone?
