Most religious manipulators are pushing one right way or another, and derive a lot of power from that. They are very busy feeling superior, and telling everyone else they are wrong. And most religious leaders are absolutely unconcerned with society, especially the downtrodden, or with saving the environment. I was impressed with what I read of Maitreya's message because it seemed modest and compassionate and gentle, like the best of what has come down from Jesus.
Unlike you, who have no religious beliefs at all, I do believe that some very wise men like Jesus and the Buddha, and perhaps Maitreya, have visited the earth and left us with essential truths. I do not believe it is necessary to worship one particular religion, or exalt one particular prophet, which leads to divisiveness and violence. But the truth is the truth is the truth, wherever it comes from, and I see bits of truth sometimes in these prophets. |
