In the beginning
I have known about Maitreya, and the fact that He is here, now, for over thirty years. At first, I didn’t like the information but something was nagging at me to keep reading. The more I read, the more what I was reading started to ring true for me.
I would read in Benjamin Creme’s books - Mr Creme, his Master, and Maitreya say over and over again tell all who will listen about Maitreya’s return. Tell them about Maitreya’s concerns for humanity and His priorities.
After a while, I started to talk to most everyone in my circle of friends and family about what I was reading. My circle is relatively small compared to most people so it didn’t take me long to get to everyone. Not surprisingly the responses were not that open and interested in this information.
Not long after that, I started with the Share International group here in Atlanta. I wanted to talk to as many people as I could about Maitreya. Most every talk and lecture we put on, I participated in speaking to people in some way but we didn’t host that many talks at the time. Maybe three or four a year, and not many people showed up to our talks.
An idea takes shape
Well, one evening after one of our talks, I told a friend and colleague in Share International, that if we could host a lecture a week, and you know, if more people maybe ten or a little more than had showed up to the lecture, I would be the happiest person in the world!
In those days, YouTube wasn’t a thing. - we gave talks in local libraries, New Age bookstores, Expos (every once in a while), and more often than not no one would show up. It was disconcerting to say the least. When YouTube came online and started to become popular, I started to spend most of my online time on YouTube listening to podcasts, and I thought to myself, for years, about doing a podcast on YouTube about Maitreya; about miracles, about my own personal experiences with Maitreya.
The launch
Finally, In 2019, I started Search4signs (I have renamed the channel SOP_SaveOurPlanet). I put up a couple of videos, at first, talking about my Maitreya experiences. After a few videos, there wasn’t much interest. I’ll never forget the first comment I got. All it said was this is Bull S@&t! I started to laugh to myself. It worked!! It worked!! Someone actually listened! They didn’t like what I said, but it didn’t matter. Someone heard what I had to say. So I put up another video and then another. More and more people started to comment. Then someone asked a question. I can’t remember the question but the channel went in a direction that I had never expected; Questions and Answers. People started to want to know more.
There are now over a thousand videos. I never expected to put up this many videos. People keep commenting asking questions. I have found the interest to be absolutely wonderful. Positive and of course those negative comments and combative questions.
Opening a conversation
But here’s the thing I noticed. Some people comment at first saying Maitreya is the antichrist or evil or whatever. In the next video I talk about their comments or answer their questions, and then I might not hear from them for months. But then the next time they aren’t so combative or negative. And some have started to ask really meaningful and thought provoking questions. Kind of reminds me of how I was when I first heard about this information.
So what I found is, by doing a video on YouTube, I started to do a lecture a week. People from all over the world are listening. Some engage and ask questions or post comments. There have been hundreds upon hundreds of people who join the discussion and then I don’t hear from the for months and then they comment or ask a question again. But I can say, people are listening. They want to know about His teachings. They also want hope!!!
The take home message
I want to encourage anyone and everyone who believes in this information, who has perhaps said to themselves, I want to talk about what I know with people about Maitreya but I don’t know what to do. I don’t know where to start. I don’t want to stand on the street and pass out flyers. I can help you, start a channel on YouTube. My email is search4signs@mail.com
Now is the time! Don’t worry about what others may say. I can tell you with absolute certainty, people want to hear about this. They might not share the same beliefs but they want peace; they want a future and they do want hope!!!
It’s good that even the listeners who doubt the news about Maitreya sometimes check back with you at a later date.
Nice work Gary.
