Dr Patel: you can call me Brian, but not Messiah
13th February 2010
According to Mr Creme, in 1977 Maitreya descended from the Himalayan redoubt where he had been living with a community of ascended Masters, who are watching over mankind with a concerned eye. Since then, he has been moving largely unnoticed among us, waiting to usher in a new age of peace, wisdom and understanding.
Mr Creme had been told this by one of the community of Masters, with whom he has been in telepathic communication since 1959. This is the good news. The bad news is that the new World Teacher may not be, as many seem to believe, an English-born academic named Raj Patel, who for the last two weeks has found himself in the rather unusual position of having to deny that he is the Messiah.
