Beloved brothers and sisters of planet Earth! I AM MAITREYA!

At this moment, this very moment—which is not the moment as you understand it, but the eternal here and now—I see planet Earth becoming illuminated, transforming more and more into an immense sphere of Light, filled with abundant Light.

Never become discouraged. The journey may often seem meaningless or as though it brings no results. But that perception comes from the limited view you have of yourselves.

When a soul decides to evolve, it becomes, as you would say, a great sponge, seeking to absorb Light wherever possible. Added to this are its own choices, the techniques it practices, the lessons it learns, and the changes in behavior and thought. All of this attracts more and more Light.

Do not forget that the planet is being flooded with Light from the Great Central Sun. And the more prepared you are to absorb this Light, the more of it you will receive. That is how everything works. You absorb and attract what you radiate. So, if you are walking an enlightened path, you attract increasingly more Light and shine ever more brightly.

Each one of you who is part of this great—though to you it may seem small—group of humans who have surrendered themselves to the Light still needs to believe more in yourselves. Every being in the universe is created in the image and likeness of God the Father/Mother. But this is not “image and likeness” as you understand it. It is likeness in power; it is likeness in pure Love.

You possess power: the power of creation. Look at the world you have created. It is like a great mixture. You keep adding ingredients, and if any ingredient is added in excess or in insufficient quantity, the mixture will not turn out perfectly. You did not know how to balance the power you possess. You surrendered yourselves to everything that was presented to you, believing that you needed to experience it all, without considering the consequences.

So yes, you have power—the power to create, and above all, the power to choose what you wish to experience, what you wish to live through. Every moment you have lived was created at some point in time—created by yourselves. This is the great truth, though many still refuse to believe it. They think they would never choose suffering, believing it would be an utterly mistaken choice. Therefore, they cannot accept that they created the life of pain and hardship they now experience.

But I will affirm once again: this life was created by you.

“And how does one create pain and suffering?”

First, through a lack of respect for your own body. You do not love your bodies. You think they are machines into which you can put anything you wish, believing everything will be fine. What choices have you made—and continue to make—regarding your nourishment? What feelings do you cultivate, and what fruits do they bear? What actions have you lived, initiated, or caused, whose consequences you are now reaping?

Pain and suffering do not come as punishment. They do not arise out of nowhere. They come from your own choices and actions. Understand this. Everything that happens to you has a reason. Nothing is meaningless. Nothing happens by chance. Chance does not exist.

Therefore, I would tell you that by changing your decisions, your actions, and your thoughts—for the better—you become more illuminated. And you continue to grow brighter and brighter. You begin to perceive and feel the attitude you should adopt and the path you should follow. In this way, the combined Light of all of you—beings who are already illuminated, deeply illuminated—also illuminates the planet.

Gaia has felt throughout her entire being all the Love you have been radiating toward her. The events are unfolding, and Gaia has been able to release a great deal of energy in a way that is far less abrupt than would otherwise have been necessary, were it not for the Light you have been emanating and spreading across the planet.

Understand this: you have accomplished much. To many, it may seem that everything remains the same and that life has not changed very much. But understand that everything is proportional to your surrender. If you surrender yourselves completely to the Light, then the Light will be fully present upon your path. It will always respond in proportion to what you radiate. If you radiate little, you will absorb little. If you radiate much, you will absorb much.

So understand: nothing is wasted, nothing is lost along the way. Pockets of your energy are not scattered throughout the universe, they remain within you. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, choose wisely. Learn how to use the power of creation that you possess. Stop radiating negative things. Become dreamers.

Realize that the Light is intensely present upon the planet. Dreams are born from the Light. Therefore, dream. Set aside complaints, problems, and other people. See the Great Sun shining before you and declare what you wish to experience, what you wish to feel. What kind of life do you want to live? Observe that this Sun will absorb all of it. This is the power of Creation through the Light: your own creative power, with the Light acting to bring it into manifestation.

“Ah, that is impossible!” many would say.

But I ask you: Why not try? Why not experience the belief that what you think can become reality? Yet be very careful, because the Light does not judge whether what you ask for will be good for you or not.

So if you imagine something that is not beneficial, you will later have to deal with it in ways that will not be pleasant. Therefore, know what to ask for, know what to radiate, know what to choose. And let your Light grow brighter and brighter—and, as a consequence, so too will the Light of planet Earth.
