Maitreya – Hidden in Plain Sight Part II
by Kathi Sundeen
Two Horns Like a Lamb
Crème says Maitreya will bring lasting peace using an army that is now in position. Maitreya has called “1 billion” into the army to “save the world.”(Bold added) 1
Rick Warren’s website tells us the P.E.A.C.E. Plan will have the world’s largest army of workers and will “mobilize 1 billion Christians ... to attack the five global, evil giants....” He said this will require “the global church....”(Bold added) 2
Warren invokes “the compassionate and merciful One” at the beginning of the Invocation. This is a title given to the prophet Muhammad in the Quran. The Invocation ends praying in the name of Jesus, as well as Isa, the Muslim prophet.(Bold added) 3
This takes on an ominous tone when you consider that the P.E.A.C.E. Plan includes Muslims. The Quran says, “When you encounter the unbelievers on the battlefield, strike off their heads until you have crushed them completely....”(Bold added) 4
“...And he (the beast with two horns like a lamb, v. 11) had power to ... cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.... I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus....” (Revelation 13:15, 20:4)
Maitreya is incognito, and “the people before whom he appears are in every case fundamentalist Christians of one persuasion or another.” He appears “almost weekly.”5
Maitreya is one of “three Great Lords” on earth. The three are: Manu (the “perfected man,” the Will aspect); Maitreya (the “Christ,” the “World Teacher,” the Love/Wisdom aspect); and Sanat Kumara (the “Lord of Civilisation,” the Intelligence aspect). 6
Mankind will take five initiations during meditation, the first two with Maitreya. Maitreya then presents the initiate to Sanat for the third initiation, the first time man will “come face to face” with God. Sanat oversees the third through fifth initiations. 7
We are told we are not to worship Maitreya, as he is not God. We are repeatedly referred to as “divine sparks of God.” Rick Warren also denies we are God, yet was an exuberant judge in The Power of Purpose Awards. The winning essay began, “We must commit to becoming one with that passive spark of divinity longing for actuality....” 8
“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast.... And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb ... and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast....” (Rev. 13:4, 11-12)
Hidden in Plain Sight
In Warren Smith’s book, Deceived on Purpose, we see Rick Warren’s extensive use of Eugene Peterson’s, The Message, in his writings. The Message inserts the phrase, “as above, so below,” into the Lord’s Prayer. It means “the transcendent God beyond the physical universe and the immanent God within ourselves are one.”(Bold added) 9
Smith points out that Warren used the derivative, “above and below,” also from The Message, to quote Col. 1:16. Warren also taught this concept using the New Century Version to quote Eph. 4:6, which renders the verse to say that God is “in” everything.
In fact, Smith tells us these exact words are in Saddleback’s Foundations Participant’s Guide, where it says God “is both transcendent (above and beyond his creation) and immanent (within and throughout his creation).”(Parentheses in original, bold added) 10
Crème says Maitreya will “show that God is transcendent, above and beyond man and all creation, while at the same time intrinsic, immanent in all creation.”(Bold added) 11
In Warren Smith’s book, A Wonderful Deception, we see Rick Warren’s connections to New Age sympathizers who teach quantum spirituality, that God is “in” everything, which is a “‘New Spirituality’ for a new era – the coming ‘New Age.’”(Bold added) 12
In the chapter “Fractals, Chaos Theory, Quantum Spirituality, and The Shack,” we see the merger of spirituality and science. This “new science” includes fractals and chaos theory. “Fractals reveal a hidden ‘order’ underlying all seemingly chaotic events.” Fractals are repeating patterns, hidden in plain sight, that reveal “as above, so below.” 13
Our failure to see the “as above, so below,” God “in” everything has resulted in chaos, which will be overcome when humanity sees itself as “one.” 14
One of chapters is subtitled “Hidden in Plain Sight.” Here, Warren Smith speculates that perhaps the fractal, “as above, so below,” was intentionally hidden in plain sight in the Lord’s Prayer. Then, at some future point, it would be seen as “the message that was in The Message,” a “prophetic sign” from God ... “the key to saving the world....” 15
Crème explains, “You can only understand life in the macro-cosmic sense if you have experienced it in the microcosm. As above, so below. You can know what the greater is if you experience it in you, the smaller, because there is only one life....”(Bold added) 16
On his website for pastors, Rick Warren has an article that again uses The Message to render Col. 1:16, using the “above and below” derivative. In the article, he says, “How does God teach you peace? ... Peace is learned in chaos, in a crisis.”(Bold added) 17
Warren has a new book coming out in Nov. 2010, The Hope You Need, which is based on the Lord’s Prayer. Will he use The Message to insert “as above, so below”? Could this be the “key to saving the world,” the “hope you need” to rid the world of chaos? 18
Science - Revealing our “Divinity”
Crème tells us that Maitreya “is as much the stimulus behind the scientific discoveries ... as he is with religious matters.”(Bold added) 19
On Feb. 16, 2010, Warren used The Message to write a devotional from Romans 1:19, “We Know God’s Truth through Creation.” It said, “[W]e have to have an attitude of openness that says, ‘I want the truth more than anything else.’” Then, “you can discover the truth ... through creation.... This is why science is so important. It helps us understand God and His universe.” (Bold added) 20
On Warren’s website for pastors we read, “Peter Fenwick … may soon have the scientific community rethinking their view of the universe. Currently, the scientific community sees everything as matter….the transcendent view - proposes that the basic building block of the universe is not matter, but consciousness itself.” Another entry said, “If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.”(Bold added) 21
“And he ... causeth the earth ... to worship the first beast....” who worships the science God - “But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces....” (Rev. 13:12, Daniel 11:38)
The Sign of The End
On April 4th, 2010, Saddleback celebrated their 30th anniversary at Angel Stadium. Rick Warren began a six part series, “When You’re Hoping for a Miracle.” He launched the “Decade of Destiny.” On March 25th, 2010, we were told Rick Warren would be teaching his “Last 101 Membership Class of this Era.” (Bold added, italics in original) 22
Rick Warren’s website says, “No one knows when the world will end, but we can know it won’t happen until the last person has ... heard God’s good news....” 23
On Nov. 13, 2009, Warren spoke at The Pew Forum, saying, “We intend to be the first church in the history of Christianity to literally fulfill the great commission ... by the end of this next year. We will be the first church in 2000 years of Christianity to literally go to every nation.” He explained they will be doing the P.E.A.C.E. Plan. 24
Maitreya is here “as the world moves into a new era, not at the end of time, but at the end of an age.” When the disciples asked Jesus for the sign of the end of the world, He warned that “man” will try to deceive us and many will be “saying, I am Christ.” Hidden in plain sight this is the prophetic sign, “as above, so below.” This is not the beginning of a “new era,” but the sign of the end.
“And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” (Matthew 24:3b-5)
