The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            newspapers  here  in  Perth.  I  remember  seeing  it
            and felt a little excited. I was not a Christian then
            but  had  heard  of  him,  and  so  the  name  of  this
            Christ alerted my instinctive suspicions.
                     This  Christ  is  named  “Lord  Maitreya”
            alleged  to  be  'a  world-class  “messiah”  and  great
            teacher  whom  they  claimed  would  bring  world
            peace and solutions to the world’s problems. - The
            title Maitreya comes from Buddhism and is their
            coming  Messiah.  To  date,  Crème  and  Spangler's
            Maitreya  has  not  yet  emerged  as  a  celebrated
            leader,  and  may  not  even  though  they  have
            posted  photos  of  him  on  their  website  “Share-
            International.org.”
                    However,  the  aspirations  of  Creme,
            Spangler  and  other  New  Agers  are  clear.  -  They
            are seeking a man, whether god or devil, who will
            be  their  image  of  a  messiah,  coming  to  save  the
            planet. - Their HQ, in Findhorn, Scotland, Crème,
            and  Spangler  are  mentioned  in  the  Catholic
            Church  document,  “Jesus  Christ  the  Bearer  of  the
            Water  of  Life:  A  Christian  reflection  on  the  “New
            Age.”  Pontifical  Council  for  Culture  and  Pontifical
            Council for Interreligious Dialogue, March 2002."
                    This is a document I strongly recommend
            as an excellent source of information and source of
            concern  for  the  Church  in  its  pastoral  role  to  it
            members to understand the workings of religions
            and the New Age Movement.
