Cass,
 Maitreya was a Hearer of the Buddhaof our age Prince Siddartha Shakyamuni Tathagatha. The Buddha spoke to Maitreya reminding him of his past merits and life times and told Maitreya that in the future he would become the Buddha of the end of the Kaliyug Age. Maitreya became a Bodhisattva and since his passing resides in the Tushita Heaven located in the Sambhogakaya Realm which due to it's instrinsic nature is beyond the realm of contact with those of this Plane, it is beyond the Physical and Nirmanykaya Realms. The off ice of Maitreya as the Kalki Avatar Buddha upon the consumation of the Kali Yug will preside the Pralaya hence he rides the Wh ite Horse of the Purusha. He is origin within the B uddhist and Hindu Religion Teachings and it is not a Christian teaching. The Sutra Link ÂI posted recently" T h e Mahaprajnaparamita Manjusriparavarta Sutra" a classic Buddhist/Tibetan Sutra of the Buddhist Paradigm contains a dialog between the Buddha and Maitreya as I indicated above. Most Theosophists do not have exposure to classical origin teaching of the Buddhist or Hindu or others important "Q" source teaching that later people in a form of abuse of a parent burgularize for thier own purp ose and use without giving due recognition and credits.  The "Avatar cycle" in it's classical form consists of 10 Avatar descents, the 1st and the last are the profound full aspect of the spiritual presencing that is not veiled or obscure . The 2nd through the 9th (8 Avatars are "Minor Avatars" that are sp read throuhg the Manvantaric cycle at appropiate interval, these are more like the Tulku use of the Consciousness i n a resident physical Âliving human person who become the traducere Illuminati through which the teaching is probagated. The Triyatrimsa or three Heavenly divisions of Buddhism - ÂNirm anakaya (of the Physical or non-physical), Sambhogakaya (the Realm of Bliss and Peace of the B odhisattva's (Maitreya resides there until the end of the K ali Yug) Âand others, and the Dharmakaya the Real m of the Absolute., This in some aspects par elell some veiled Christian teaching such as when Jesus the Christos tells the apostles "Upon my return, up on my Par oashia, upon the consummation of the ages, I will be seen coming upon the White Cloud" can be related to the completion of the 4 great Hindu Ages ending with the Kali Yug with the pralaya presided by both the figure of Maitreya and the Chrestos because they are the Purush it self at the time hence the White Horse for M aitreya (The Purush) and upon the White Cloud (The Purush) Âfor the Chrestos. The Purush is the Alone Begotte n Sonship of the Absolute.

In Buddhism there are 10 Levels of consciousness called the Ten Stages of the Bodhisattva Consciousness. and there are 7 divisions of the Being, it totals 17 the Pythagorean number and a number that often is seen of Theosophy im portance. The teaching was anciently given in theÂSaptadasabhumi Sutra but this seems to have been "obscured" awaiting a terton at presence.Madame Blavatsky t aught the "Sapta" seven fold economy, the Mahayana teach the Dasa 10 fold consciousness that composesÂthe 10 Âarri vals of the Bodhisattva fullness of consciusness.

Subject: Re: theos-talk Christ Thread Question
Â
My understanding, which is very limited, is that Maitreya is the 'boss' of all world teachers. ÂHe is unable to manifest himself 'in the flesh' because of his advanced spiritual vibrational rate. Â Therefore, when the time is karmically ripe, Âhe overshadows another Master of Wisdom, whose vibrational rate still has correspondence with our physical plane vibrational rate. ÂOne must be a master soul operating entirely from his own Higher Self. ÂThis 'master' or 'chosen one' then lays aside his own selfness in order to transmit the higher consciousness of this higher being, but only on a temporary basis. ÂThe master, more or less, I guess, channels the consciousness of Maitreya in short bursts, until the appropriate knowledge is given to humanity. ÂI imagine a permanent overshadowing would cause the receivers apparatus to blow a fuse. ÂTherefore, what Creme is saying about the Maitreya imo, is quite incorrect. ÂHowever, would also be interested in
hearing others ideas on this subject.

>JPC: These three adepts are suggested as being "SERAPIS BEY (Ellora Section), "POLYDORUS ISURENUS (Section of Solomon), "ROBERT MORE (Section of Zoroaster) representing three sections of the Luxor brotherhood. Serapis Bey was known as "the Egyptian" and was the chief or head of the Luxor brotherhood. He is said to be Greek by birth though having long been associated with the Egyptian lodge. This might be compared with the quotation I earlier submitted which I think contrasts the "semi European Greek brother" from the Master of KH the all powerful Chohan and Chief mentioned in my letter. This quotation is again submitted below. It should be noted in this passage that the Master of KH the chief Chohan "finally permitted me" KH to "extent a portion of my time to the progress of the Eclectic". Again note that the semi European Greek brother, Serapis, would not help in that at that time. Serapis may be the more advanced Chohan perhaps but not the Chief Chohan
>"our Supreme Chief" and KH' direct Master, as explained. Serapis and the Christ or 'Supreme Chief' appear two seperate persons. The ray affinity between KH and the Christ is the second ray.
>
>"One other Master may here be briefly mentioned, the Master Serapis, frequently called the Egyptian. He is the Master upon the fourth ray, and the great art movements of the world, the evolution of music, and that of painting and drama, receive from him an energizing impulse. At present he is giving most of his time and attention to the work of the deva, or angel evolution, until their agency helps to make possible the great revelation in the world of music and painting which lies immediately ahead. More about him cannot be given out, nor can his dwelling place be revealed." IHS 60. AAB.

>H. P. Blavatsky was the immediate agent of the Masters from the inception of the Society until her death, and every other associate was subordinate in real authority. But she received help and instruction from other Adepts as well as from M. and K.H. The words "from India direct," which she uses in the memorandum just quoted, are significant as they evidently mean that the orders came from her personal Master, M. In her New York period she was largely under the protection of a Section of the Great Lodge which has its center in Egypt, and whose Chief was then privately spoken of as Serapis Bey. In several places Olcott makes interesting references to this occult group under the name of "The Brotherhood of Luxor," and K.H. also mentions them in the Mahatma Letters (p. 116), but less is said about them than about the Tibetan Brotherhood.

>"And because you recognise this great principle of personal observation, and are not slow to put into practice what you have acquired in the way of useful information, is perhaps the reason why the hitherto implacable Chohan my Master has finally permitted me to devote to a certain extent a portion of my time to the progress of the Eclectic. But I am but one and you are many, and none of my Fellow Brothers with the exception of M. will help me in this work, not even our semi-European Greek Brother who but a few days back remarked that when "every one of the Eclectics on the Hill will have become a Zetetic then will he see what he can do for them." And as you are aware there is very little hope for this." Yours sincerely, K.H. Letter 11. 1881.
