Tibet
by Hajitan Friday, Mar. 21, 2008 at 3:08 AM

We are only a pretext

I wrote some comments on Tibet to a newspaper recently, which were categorically rejected, out of respect for the Tibetans presumably, since I was sharp. What they forgot and what I didn't want to mention is that I am a Tibetan, and know everything of Tibet, probably even better than the Dalai Lama. Newspapers are too conservative, with their sentimental approach, and it is a real blasphemy to see what nonsense they accept - all very friendly - yes, but hypocritical to the core! Fidel Castro is condemned as a fascist, but now that the peaceful Tibetans are rising up, they get sentimental and we all have to cry. A real doublemindedness is revealed, as if it is not generally understood that the suppression of Tibet can't keep being met with the archetypal, apologetic Asian smiles - our eyes are slanted that way, it is said, but we can still see - as to make media cry. Many people manoeuvre the Tibetans in front of their own cart. The wheel is turning. We are only a pretext. Keep smiling. The times, they are changing. May Maitreya save us.

Human Relationship
by Mumae Friday, Mar. 21, 2008 at 12:02 PM

Many people await and expect the emergence of the Christ but hold a very distorted view of how that will affect humanity. Many await Him as a Spiritual Magician Who will cancel out their and others’ shortcomings, and so establish everlasting peace. Theirs is a very passive view of this vast and complex happening. For Maitreya, Himself, it is an opportunity to come into a dynamic interaction with humanity, to establish the Principles of the Divine Plan, and to inaugurate the era of Right Human Relationship.
