Peaceniks with wings:

The UNs’ Jesus impersonators

by Judi Mcleod

March 22, 2004

Blowing in with the new millennium came the latest crop of the Jesus impersonators. Disparate in supernatural powers and magical claims, the top three J.C. impersonators share something in common--home base at Manhattan’s United Nations headquarters.

Most-active-of-the-moment category goes to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Unknown whether the 92-year-old maharishi arrives at UN headquarters by yogic flying, but he’s currently building some 3,000 "peace palaces" to spread peace through Transcendental Meditation, worldwide.

Not to be outdone is the Maitreya, who former artist, 72-year-old Benjamin Crème touts as "the Master Jesus". Crème publishes Share International, a UN-sponsored magazine.

"I have seen the Master Jesus years ago who came to my house in London and asked me if I can give him something to eat," Crème said on the art Bell radio program on July 10, 1988.

The maitreya is distinguished from the maharishi by laying claim through Crème’s website on all "miraculous" sightings, weeping virgins and milk-drinking Buddha’s included.

The Johnny-come-lately to the Jesus impersonators is 82-year-old Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church. On Dec. 30, 2001, the Washington Times printed a 24-page advertising Supplement, which quoted Jesus Christ as saying that Moon was the true Christ.

The four-time married Moon owns the Times and is President of the Federation of World Peace. Moon has received a "Universal Peace award" at the UN, has called for a UN-based religious body, and has declared, "as long as america sticks with its nationalistic pride it will never be able to embrace the world." Known for his proclivity for presiding over mass weddings, Moon performed one at the UN on June 27, 2001.

The United Nations, you see, has a Temple of Understanding on its first floor. Designed and designated by the late Dag Hammerskjold, the book Spiritual Politics says people have had "mystical experiences" in the Temple.

Indian mystic Sri Chinmoy, outspoken advocate of the UN’s "spiritual mission" thus far has laid no claim to being Jesus Christ. But he does say he was Thomas Jefferson in another life.

The world’s largest bureaucracy, known as the UN is moving in on religion. On Oct. 30, 2002 the UN’s Spiritual Caucus became an official Committee of the NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns in consultative relationship with the UN (CONGO).

CONGO’s vision is recorded in Rule 42: "The NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns envisions a society based on unity, compassion, peace and respect for the sacredness of life. These universal spiritual values, common to all beliefs, religions, cultures and traditions are crucial in addressing today’s global concerns and need to be reawakened, nurtured and sustained."

CONGO is co-chaired by Diane Williams, of the Temple of Understanding.

anyone looking for the anti-Christ among the crop of UN Jesus impersonators should not be expecting horns and a tail. The anti-Christ would assume the image of "a beautiful man who will lure the people with miracles, peace and a very smooth tongue."

Benjamin Crème’s maitreya, who shows up for the occasional photograph, fits the bill.

Descended July 1977 from his ancient retreat in the Himalayas, he took up residence in the Indian-Pakistani community of London, England.

But North americans do not have to cross the ocean to catch a glimpse of the maitreya.

On aug. 5, 1989, purportedly in the presence of independent witnesses, maitreya enacted the Global atonement Ceremony in the Lester B. Pearson Peace Park in actinolite, Ont.--and according to eyewitness reports, "immediately lit the whole sky up in response."

Sophisticated Toronto city slickers should know that maitreya believes that their city is "the meeting place between dimensions". (and when the current crop of politicians running T.O. is considered, he may have something there).

If Karl Marx was right in his theory that "Religion is the opiate of the masses", it didn’t take long for the UN to catch his drift.

For 3,000 years before the advent of Christianity, the Pagan world looked to Egypt as the seat of wisdom.

Since the new millennium, the pagan world looks to the well-endowed United Nations for wisdom.

In a modern-day society where more than 80 percent of high-rises lack a 13th floor, where no hotel or hospital has a Room # 13, where in the last 20 years as many as 10,000 crop circles keep cropping up and with a&E television devouting hours to specials about alien abductions, it shouldn’t be too difficult for the UN to convince us there is some substance to the occult.

Little wonder why Mel Gibson met with such controversy on the recent release of The Passions of the Christ. Serious Jesus impersonators hardly need a Lenten reminder to the masses that the real Jesus suffered death by crucifixion to atone for mankind’s sins.

Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg could be missing out on the film of all time, the surrealistic, tragically hip world of Kofi annan and the United Nations.
