Dear Leon, Todd and others:

These are interesting words, in a sense that I am almost sure that the same Leon
did not want to mean.

But, considering possibilities, for a serious studying of the matter (related to
this Maitreya, the Mahatmas, and the New Age, too), if we want to have a complete
figure of the possibilities it is very interesting to look at the following:

1. René Guénon´s book titled: (in Spanish) El Reino de la Cantidad  y los Signos
de los Tiempos (something like: The Kingdom of Quantity and The Signs of Time).
He was a french studier, that become later teacher of the sufi Tradition, very
hard critic of the New Age and critic about the identity and purposes of so
called mahatmas.

2.  Another position, completely different than Todd´s one about Maitreya, and
also very diferent from Guénon´s position at surface (tough just deeply the
same), is the Antroposophical position, based on Rudolf Steiner´s writings.  We
can find these position in:

http://www.geocities.com/athens/sparta/1105/ahriman.htm

and also in:

http://www.team.com.pl/fenix/edition_1315/page04_e.html

If we want to know the truth, we will have to know all the figure of positions
about the matter we are looking for.

The matter of the Maitreya COULD be one of the most important.

Friendly,

DAVID C.
