Citizens), he wrote that Lucifer is “an agent of God’s love.” and that
“Christ is the same force as Lucifer.” He also wrote: “Lucifer prepares
man for the experience of Christhood ... (he is) the great Initiator ...
Lucifer works within each of us to bring us to wholeness, as we move
into a new age ... each of us in some way is brought to that point which
I term the Luciferic Initiation, the particular doorway through which the
individual must pass if he is to come ‘fully’ into the presence of his
light and his wholeness ... It is one that many people now, and in the
days ahead, will be facing, for it is an initiation into the new age.” He
also made a connection to one world government when he wrote: “No
one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge
to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a

page ad in twenty major papers around the world proclaiming that the
New Age Messiah, Lord Maitreya, was alive and ready to institute their
plan, which included “the installation of a new world government and a
new world religion under Maitreya.” The ad said: “Since July, 1977, the
Christ has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community
in a well-known modern country.” It promised that the ‘Christ’ would
appear “within the next two months” and that “his message will be
heard inwardly, telepathically, by all people in their own language.
From that time, with his help, we will build a new world.”
A similar ad ran five years later, on January 12, 1987, in USA Today,
under the headline “The Christ is in the World,” describing Lord
Maitreya as “a great world teacher for people of every religion and no
