Maitreya (Theosophy)

Common card · No. 386706

In Theosophy, Maitreya is considered the most advanced of spiritual beings, along with the Buddha, both from Earth and on Earth (apart from the Logos, the spiritual being who ensouls the planet itself). Maitreya is noteworthy, too, because he is considered the head of the Fifth Kingdom, the group of enlightened beings who make up the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom. According to Theosophy, the Masters of Wisdom are great human beings (both known and unknown), who have mastered their bodies, their emotions and their minds in previous incarnations, and who have remained behind in bodies of light to help humanity. Considered the spiritual government or esoteric hierarchy of our planet, these great beings focus on accelerating human evolution, which entails each individual pursuing both self-mastery and self-realization.
