In these troubled times with poverty, war, strife, divisions, and competition, it is easy to feel things are hopeless or the world is going backward. However, Dick Larson, a coworker with Share International, leaves us filled with hope and expectations that these troubled times are fast passing and that a new and better world is slowly but surely being born and the extraordinary help that is available at this pivotal moment in our history and what the future holds for humanity. That help comes from the insight and guidance of the World Teacher, Maitreya, and the Masters of Wisdom. These divine beings were once like us but evolved through countless incarnations and reached the end of the evolutionary journey on this planet. Many people know about the existence of the Masters, but many are still unaware they exist let alone know of their return to the everyday world. Maitreya, the World Teacher, will demonstrate the path of cooperation and sharing, and guide humanity forward into an age of peace and right relationship among all nations. Along with talking about Maitreya and the Masters and what their return means for humanity, Dick Larson talks about the evolution of consciousness and how we can move beyond our current manmade quandary into a future where our highest ideals are fulfilled. Dick Larson is a counselor with a background in education who addresses the issues of meditation and practical spirituality. He has been a guest on radio talk shows nationwide, co-hosted a radio program, and produced and hosted a series of public access television shows that air around the nation. Dick gives public lectures on the Ageless Wisdom Teachings and their relationship to what is happening in the world today. His message is one of great hope for our future.
