" "We are standing at the beginning of an extraordinary period in the history of the world ---- a crossroads at which humanity is undergoing a great shift in consciousness. This reflects itself in new relationships ---- political, economic, religious, social, scientific, and cultural ---- which in their manifestation will create a completely different type of civilization, one in which the true, spiritual nature of humanity, consciously recognized and demonstrated, will become manifest for the first time. p. 3

Additional quotes by Benjamin Creme
Everybody in the world has the responsibility for maintaining the peace in the world... Everybody in the world, whoever they are have the responsibility for world peace... practically, those so called democracies who have some sort of say even if it is only by putting their votes down on a card in a system which may or may not work, is more or less imperfect have the responsibility of using it and bringing a result in that way. They have perhaps more responsibility than have the starving millions of the world... with no connection with any political structure and so have no means of making their needs felt. ...Needless to say, they are those with the greatest needs of all, but they have no voice and it is precisely that voice which Maitreya will give to them. He will give voice to the needs of the poor and the hungry and the displaced and the sitting in jail people of the world. Hundreds of thousands of people are in jail simply for the crime of having a different point of view from that of their present government and these people have no voice. It's taken for granted that they'll be incarcerated and languish in prison. Very often tortured to boot. Maitreya will speak for them and all who need and have no voice, but those who have today a voice, who have education, the voting system, who have a degree of democracy, have a special responsibility...

Maitreya will present to the world a choice: to continue as we are, in the old, greedy, selfish, very human ways, and destroy ourselves, or to demonstrate at last the divine potential in every person by grasping the realities of life: the fact of the oneness of the soul; of the oneness, therefore, of humanity as a group of souls in incarnation. This will be a revelation for most of humanity.
