   Hey CK,
   You wrote: “Wouldn’t it have made more sense for Creme to just name the man and present the TV interview on the Share International website? ”

   As I understand it, Maitreya is not in Share International’s pocket. Certainly, Creme has been in the forefront of passing on info for the last 3o some odd years, but neither Creme nor anyone at SI is going to point out Maitreya even if they had an opinion as to where he was interviewed and/or what program.

   Folks who keep up with this know that Maitreya is coming forward anonymously so that his ideas, (the need for sharing resources to end poverty, starvation and death from hunger related disease, for the trust that sharing engenders, the justice which results from sharing, the freedom to live which results from having the basic necessities of life, and finally the secure peace which results from the previous conditions) can be considered freely by humanity.

   Apparently, Maitreya does not want followers. He comes, he says, as a simple Teacher, to point the way out of our serious problems.

   Raj Patel just happened to be on a book tour, having published a well-received book “Stuffed and Starviing”, at the same time that Maitreya gave his first TV interview. Share International never called Patel Maitreya. Folks who have followed Creme’s information…which has been very widely distributed…for years, and who are just observers have jumped to the wrong conclusion about Patel. It is inconvenient for Patel (although maybe beneficial for book sales) but on no consequence in the larger context of Maitreya’s emergence.

   What many think is of real importance is the need for humanity to change the way we live and save ourselves and our planet. War, pollution, kids on drugs, failed economy….these are the conditions Maitreya is addressing.

   Sorry to be so long winded.

     Hi, Thanks for being cordial. I appreciate that. The numbers are not “in” for me yet on Patel, but the more I find out about him, the more I wonder what’s up, and I intend to find out. See the post I just published 10 minutes ago.

     Did you finish reading the front page? Here’s what the updated page says today:

     3.15.2010

     “The emerging confusion about Raj Patel supposedly being “identified” by someone as the emergent [new] “Maitreya” has occupied my attention since mid January, when Creme announced at London Friends’ House that Maitreya had given an interview with a major American TV Network, two days after Raj Patel was interviewed on the Colbert Report. Raj continues to flatly deny that he is Maitreya, and claims to have been distressed by the pubic association. [See the blog artivles of Scott James in San francisco. ]

     Yet Patel keeps a large and prominent photo of the Maitreya Buddha posted on his blog, lending to considerable cognitive dissonance for “would be Maitreya followers” and others who are trying decode the coy text he has written on that page, and ascertain who and what Raj Patel actually is. Ominous PR videos and other articles continue to come out pointing at him as the person Creme was referring to in his speech Jan. 14th at London Friends House. Creme has now actually gone so far as to claim that he did not even know who Raj Patel was until a few days ago, and has never met the man.

     This led me to wonder whether Share International has now desired to “distance themselves” from their own PR blunders and just throw Raj Patel under the bus as a mere man among men, who, for whatever bizarre reasons, got caught up quite by accident in one of Benjamin Creme’s many blundered PR melees, such as this next one described below:

     Earlier “Strange” Events from December 2009: The Norway Spiral PR Stunt By Benjamin Creme…..”

     Liz, I continue to maintain that both Creme and Patel are actually liable for the present public misunderstanding, as Creme will not disclose the identity of Maitreya, yet he “talks him up” constantly – it’s a carny tactic, and it’s backfiring badly.

     Patel has played along by posting a huge photo of the Maitreya Buddha on his blog, with alot of “leading” and coy text.

     They, both, by their actions, have brought this bruhaha on. Honesty is always the best policy, and this thing gets more dishonest by the minute. By the time I get 3 or 4 days further along in my research I will be able to prove that not only does Creme know exacly who Patel is, but he has been in contact with him on and off, for years.

     So stay tuned. The fat lady is just warming up her vocal chords, so to speak.

     Chase
