Call Me Brian
By Raj on 01/25/2010 in Uncategorized
Growing up the first born son in a South Asian family, I got used to being quite the little prince. I wanted the privileges of primogeniture to carry on forever. When people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I responded with the full spectrum of acceptable answers: Doctor! Lawyer! Accountant! Dentist! Quantity Surveyor! Secretly, though, I wanted to be a prince. From what I saw of the British royal family, it seemed a job that involved a great deal of adulation, cash, and cars, and not terribly much work.
I mention this because recently a trickle, and then a flood, of email has come asking me whether I’m Maitreya – the leader of a movement that might be able to save the planet from itself. Some swift Googling and dipping into strange forums informs me that Maitreya is a leader foretold in a range of religions. Those who think that I might be the new prince of peace have been reading things from Share International.
So what, according to Share International, does Maitreya do? Through a doctrine of sharing, fraternity, social justice and cooperation, he (and it does seem to be a he, not a she) brings humanity back from economic and ecological collapse through new forms of spiritual community.
As it happens, I do think that sharing, fraternity, justice and cooperation are terrific things. I also think that prioritising the needs of the poor, hungry and oppressed is a non-negotiable part of a sustainable future. There are other similarities. The picture of Maitreya above shows the Buddhist avatar holding a water bottle, and I’m never far from mine. Apparently, stuttering is the mark of something esoteric, though I’m not entirely sure what that is. Finally, just as foretold, I did indeed fly from India to London in 1977, although the plane ride was a return trip from a holiday with my family.
Unfortunately, from I think that’s where the resemblances end. It frustrates me only a little less than it might disappoint those looking for Maitreya that, in fact, I’m just an ordinary bloke. I always wanted to be a Prince of Something. But when opportunity comes knocking, it turns out it’s to get me to sign for a package for some other dude.
It’s sad, too, that the thinking I advocate is pretty straightforward. One doesn’t need a messiah to show how capitalism has damaged our relationships, society, ecology, body politic and future. We have to reclaim it through grassroots organizing against capital, a commitment to human rights, gender equality, redistribution, and shared democratic control of the world’s resources. It’s like the end of The Meaning of Life (skip to 4:17) in which, finally, the meaning of life is revealed to be
try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.
But that’s not the Monty Python scene that most immediately comes to mind. Instead, it’s this rather good bit from The Life of Brian, one that Python (Monty) productions granted me leave to quote from in my last book, Stuffed and Starved, and which I still think contains all one needs to know about how we need to create social change together.
Sadly, I’m not the Messiah. I’m just a very naughty boy.

Hello,
I’m from France.
Is it possible that Christ is alive today?
I put the question here, because I’ve seen him in 2001 approximatively : I was out of my body (spiritual event), and my mind/soul was then behind a Man of Light/Love (the true Christ), somewhere where there was just Light/Love (Paradise?).
He was alone.
I guess I could recognize Him, His energie and spirit, so we’ll known….
@Saloua
The Christ is dead and will not come back, what you’ve seen is a spirit/Jinn, these entities are very good in hiding their true identity and in passing for true saints/prophets.
These practices (spiritual event) you are doing are very dangerous for your soul, you put yourself between the hands of the demons, God forbids this kind of practices. Are you aware of this?
I really advice you to stick to the Koran and to God, that’s far enought. The rest is only perdition.

I think the antichrist is the current world system we live in today where materials are worth more than human beings. Everyday people make up that system where we are constantly looking for the bum on the corner of the streets and blaming him for our taxes…Look at what happened in NYC to the homeless man who was stabbed to death and people just walked by…24 of them all caught on camera. Blame the elitists if you want, but it was all common middle class people who just ignored him. It is not an isolated incident either. I’ve been on the streets (luckily not long). You got to constantly be on the move (no loitering). Its not the gangsters or the fear of finding food and water that I found most disturbing. It’s the fact that everyday Joe’s really think you are worth less than their fancy dogs and Golf clubs…That is why I say the current system is the antichrist.
im not really religious but i thought this was interesting, especially the comments, because the fact that we care more about who the “Maitreya”is then the actually problems a “Maitreya” is portraying is the reason why we should not believe one is a “Maitreya” if that makes sense, but besides that i think the video is pretty cool and expresses raj’s whole idea in a simple quote
Hai Raj, the story of Maitreya Buddha I heard is this Buddha will come back ONLY the dark age that Dharma (Buddha teaching) is no longer on earth, human life span will be very short and physically small, only that time Maitreya Buddha will return.
Raj Patel/Maitreya has passed a new step in his world promotion:

Hi Raj, I am enjoying your lucid critique of that fundamentalist belief
system- free market economic rationalism in The Value of Nothing. I noticed in your bio on the back cover your involvement with international financial power structures and wondered what you thought of the BORROW-INVEST-EXPORT- REPAY model imposed on the “developing countries” since 1945. This model was implemented through a euphemism known as SAPs, recently changed to “Good Governance Programs” and, more importantly, has never succeeded in substantially lifting a country out of bondage to the West.=20

The other area you touch on, evolutionary psychology, has interested me since reading The Science of Sentiment by Dylan Evans,2002 and Steven Pinker’s Blank Slate, because it confronts the dominant nurture paradigm and seems, to me at least, to be imbued with logic and common sense.
=20
I was also impressed with the forensic analysis of the corporation in the doco by Mark Archbar et al especially the travesty of externalities which you usefully summarize with the McDonalds case study. After interrogating globalisation since the early 90’s with the likes of Hans Peter Martin, Global Trap, Chomsky, Naomi Klein and with the slightly more nuanced take on Capitalism of John Ralston Saul, its very hard to be positive about future global equity.
=20
I teach 17 year old Australian students about power and authority, continuity and change and equality and difference where I try to encourage them to question notions of inevitability when applied to modernisation. I’m looking forward to finishing your book so I can point to a more optimistic future.

By the way have you ever come across a book called The Grip of Death; a study of modern money, debt slavery and destructive economics by Michael Rowbotham, John Carpenter,1998? His central thesis is that most money in the world gets created first as a debt and is the underlying cause of many of today’s problems.

I’m behind you. What can I do?
I don’t know why any god (Jesus, Krishna, Allah, etc.) needs to be worshipped. What does that do for the god? Does it help his/her self-esteem? That makes no sense whatsoever to worship anything.
Facts are facts: People aren’t going to get change in corrupt politicians, businessman, or even themselves by worshiping something. As the former World Teacher Jiddu
Krishnamurti said: “Be A Light to Yourself”…
(Think for yourself)
God is not be obeyed just because he’s a dictator, not at all!!!
We have to obey God because he’s the only one who knows the rules of the universe just because he’s the creator.
If you disobey God, you harm yourself but you also harm the others and fortunately, God cannot authorize that, he cannot authorize destruction or injustice, therefore, no creature shall disobey.
We worship God just because he’s perfect, he has all the answers, he owns everything, so that seems logic to turn to the Sole God who owns everything. We owes him everything, that’s not a good reason for you? Why are you so ungrateful?

Would it be a good idea to reduce the population instead of letting it mushroom to Yonkers levels….. Where is the full stop to such population production… And could some races be responsible for maldistribution of wealth on this planet? And why this lust for military armament?
Why was I not consulted when the universe was planned? Things would have been much different !!!!

Hi there Raj!
Very good text. Sadly, even after your expressly deny it, those maddies still think that you’re that man. And by calling you “Satan”, that means “Accuser”, they are ironically being the accusers themselves. Brainwashed filthy bastards.
Hahah, and cool posting the scene from “Life of Brian”. The guy in the first comments here, above, made me laugh as well, “Stephen Hawking is Maitreya”, hahahah. Hope he doesn’t discover and tell anybody that I am the actual Spider-man.
And you’re very right, we don’t need a messiah (“A messiah is the one who leaves a mess behind him in this world.” – UG Krishnamurti), we need to learn how to make things right ourselves. We don’t need teachers, we need to become able ourselves. Enough of lessons, it’s time to put into practice. We have to be freed from the Saviours, we have to be free even from the need to be free.
Nice site. Keep it up.
All the best,
Samuel
PS: I wonder how can they still see you as that man when there are photos of him at Creme’s site and he looks much more like Obama, not even resembles you, hehe.

c’mon now Raj,
I bet you couldn’t give me the name of the primary school you went to in Golders Green without Googling it! I’ve also noticed that you and Share International have quite a few links in common, such as the UN connection for example. And your impeccable English accent just doesn’t fit with the corner-shop-in-Golders-Green scenario. But it certainly fits Wayne Peterson’s description of the sophisticated ‘master’ he met in Washington. Actually his description of the Maitreya could easily be a description of yourself, with the fake stutter thrown in for good measure just to give us a clue. (Your unusually large vocabulary is another clue) Also, Mr Creme makes no bones about denying that The POTUS is the one, in act he is quite unequivocal on that point, but where it comes to your good self, he appears less certain. Clearly Mr Creme doesn’t want to overtly lie, and so he tries to make a tactical and rather unconvincing statement. Rather like your carefully worded reply above. Now why on earth would you bother to remind us all what the function of Maitreya is? Surely a firm refutation would have done. And your manner of dress. A born and bred Londoner, you say, wearing traditional Indian ‘mahatma’ shirts? A bit fishy that, and the story of being abroad for all those years, to explain away your absence from the scene, and no trace of the local accent?
C’mon Raj, we aint stoopid, unejukated maybe, but not stoopid. We know who you are. And I have just two questions. Has Mahmoud Ahmadinerjan c’mon now Raj,

@peter
Excellent intervention, you’ve noticed what any normal shighted person would have immediately noticed.
Raj Patel just acts like a “Master” would act.
A “Master” is supposed to have the control of any of his action, just like Raj Patel who perfectly orchestrates his ascendancy on the people by using very advanced mental programmation on them: his hand gestures, his eyes which never leave his victimes, the tonality of his voice, the very specific words that he uses, his flood of words which prevent the people from using their brain…..
Only a Master who has been prepared for that can act like that.
Raj Patel is supposed to be a great activist, there isn’t any print of his so called activism.
Raj Patel is Maitreya and this is obvious.
Raj Patel’s blink rate is not human, Raj Patel blinks at an average rate of 1/2 blinks/min whereas the normal blink rate for someone who is deliverging a speech shall be around 30 blinks/minutes. This blink rate totaly betrays his true nature: Maitreya/Satan/IBLISS:
