I AM Maitreya.

You, many of you, have waited for me. And you continue waiting for me as the coming Buddha, who is prophesied to the peoples of Earth.

I myself am preparing humankind for my coming. I am training those who are ready to enter my School of Mysteries.

Many of you have received my invitation. I have given my blessing to many people through this Messenger. And my diamond ray was ready to waken your Divinity.

Some of those who decided to take risks and go through initiations under my direction had the courage to take the first steps.

But then no one went further. The tests were too hard for the humans who are now incarnated on Earth.

I have come to tell you that with all our doubts about the ability of current humanity to evolve rapidly on the Path of Initiations, even we have been disappointed.

The attraction of maya, the Illusion, turned out to be stronger for you than the call of the Ascended Realm. We have never carried out such a large-scale experiment so that thousands of people could simultaneously have an opportunity to touch the eternal Truths and drink the Amrita of Eternal Life directly through our Messages.

We have miscalculated. That is because the more accessible the knowledge is, the less it is appreciated by the present-day generation. If we acted more secretly, perhaps the interest would be greater. However, we have achieved our aim. We had an opportunity to watch everyone who touched our Messages. We had the opportunity to observe your reactions. And that which can be hidden behind impenetrable piety and a phony smile opened to us on the subtle plane in all its glory.

So, at least I am satisfied. Your chummy manners with the Masters and disrespectful consideration about how much of what is written in the Messages corresponds to or does not correspond to your ideas about the truth, has told us more than if you spent most of your life in the real School of Mystery.

First of all, I appreciate devotion and sincerity and also Faith and Love, which my disciples feel toward me. Then I can give them my attention and smile in response to their tireless work. And this smile of mine is enough for my true disciples to be heartened for many years of inspirational work.

So, many are called but few are chosen. And just like the seeds of plants, of which only a small part is able to give birth to new life, only a small number of present-day people will be able to continue the evolution.

On one side of the scale lies your urge to satisfy your desires and saturate your senses, and on the other side of the scale lie Eternal Life and the opportunity to continue evolution.

Most people choose a mirage, whereas the True Source is passed by.

Of course, this is not the result of this life of yours. During many hundreds of thousands of years in the Third and Fourth Root Races, you have chosen in favor of your ego.

So now we are giving almost the last chance to the souls of many people, at least to look in our direction with the necessary respect. But, no…

I give you a bleak Message at the end of this year. However, according to the assurance of the Karmic Board, everything looks even worse in reality.

The only hope that remains is the few who are incarnated and maintain the balance for the sins of the world.

According to the Law, an individual must stay on the physical plane to maintain the balance of the world karma.

How can the rest of humankind help? I think, as always, it is necessary to turn your gaze toward Heaven and try not to create new karma.

Creation of the conditions for the future races is being postponed. First, it is necessary to restore order in the minds of those who are too carried away by illusion. You should partake of all the fruits of the karma that you created.

The illusion turned out to be stronger at this stage. This is a temporary advantage. But of course, for those who are incarnated now, this temporary advantage can last until the end of their current incarnation.

A Divine miracle can be manifested, and the illusion can turn on the other side. In order to do that, just one percent of the world’s population should direct their aspirations to Eternal Life and abandon the surrounding illusion.

You should agree that this is a feasible requirement. However, there is neither one nor several thousandth of a percent of the population on the globe who could follow the Path outlined by us.

There is an easy way. It is always open; you just wish to walk along it. And there is a harder way: the path of sufferings, troubles, diseases, wars, and cataclysms. And at all the turning points of the astrological cycles, with greater constancy humanity chooses the more difficult path from our point of view. Perhaps, humanity does not look for easy ways, and those who will endure all the trials to the end, I think, will be able to surpass me in the degree of achievements.

Therefore, I wish you to successfully withstand all the tests and overcome your ignorance, passions, and desires as soon as possible!
