Extraordinary Times Extraordinary Beings by Wayne Petersen

I have read literally hundreds of spiritual books over my fifty plus years of life. Many years ago I had read about the appearance of the Maitreya through the writer/spiritual leader, Benjamin Creme. I have long since forgotten all the wonderful books I had read about this amazing Master (Maitreya) and all his helpers (the Masters of Wisdom) in spirit and in bodies. Peterson's magical tale brought back this earliest part of my spiritual book-reading and training and I shall be ever grateful for this. This book is an exciting, well-written, can't-put-it-down story of a truly extraodinary spiritual journey of a man who was somewhat reluctant to be on such a path, but ends up growing incredibly because of it. As his story builds, the miracles get better and better - and the lessons for him, deeper each time. This is something that is a potential for everyone interested in their spiritual growth - so I know this book will light a spark in the souls of many. The other thing that was exciting to me is that Peterson even knows some of the same people I do - that is, people mentioned in his book - making his story all the more real for me personally. I loved the many miracle stories he shares in this book. The one where the Masters were teaching him to never play spiritual "prove it" is a tough lesson of the ego that EVERY person who embarks on a spritual path has to learn - and it is indeed a humbling lesson. If you are the least bit interested in the coming of the Christ for this present new age or updating yourself on the information of the Spiritual Hierarchy (as written about by Alice Baily, Ledbedder and others from earlier this century and last century) at work on this planet, this book is a must read. You won't be disappointed! I wish Mr. Petersen the best on his path and look forward to the time when our paths will cross...and they will...

A Revealing Affirmation

This book is a truly delightful account of the author's experiences with beings (Master Teachers) from another dimension of consciousness, especially that of Maitreya. For skeptics, what he relates so candidly would be very hard to swallow if were not that Mr. Peterson is now a retired American Diplomat after 30 years of government service. This fact alone (and that he is willing to speak up) lends credence to his own personal encounters and the experiences of others highly regarded in our government who are also in contact with these beings.I could write volumes on the experiences I, myself, have had on both the spiritual and mundane levels of consciousness that absolutely mirror those of Mr. Peterson. There are untold numbers of us out there also having these experiences. And they have been happening at a very quick pace particularly during the past twenty years, for one simple reason: it is time to wake up. It is time to realize that we are not alone; that we must let go of the need to "make" things happen ourselves and surrender to the unseen assistance that is always with us. Quite simply, fulfillment comes when we understand that it is the human will that desires and calls upon the divine will to fulfill.This incredible expose brings hope to all of us. That there is indeed a plan, a method to the madness, and a remedy just waiting that has the potential to end all suffering, hatred, and darkness and bring understanding to the chaos that yet envelops our world. Mr. Peterson quite eloquently and humbly reminds us of humanity's purpose. And he also offers ways for each of us to participate in bringing forth a more enlightened reality that is being birthed this very moment.I loved reading about Mr. Peterson's spiritual adventures and look forward to hearing what he may further share in the future. All in all, an awe-inspiring and thought-provoking read that not only stretches our paradigms both personally and collectively, but most importantly, offers humanity a most powerful message for the new millennium. Enjoy!

The best introduction to the Maitreya story

I've read all the books on this topic and this is definitely the best so farI've seen some of the phenomena described in the book at first hand - so here's looking forward to a wonderful future!:-)

Powerfully upbeat! A must read!

Wayne Peterson offers to readers one of the most astonishing personal testimonies of our time. This book will undoubtedly shake the very social, political and religious foundations with which humanity has grown both accustomed and comfortable. In his journey, Mr. Peterson has not only been privy to the restricted, international circles and halls of power, and the leaders and individuals associated therein, but has managed to discover, unravel, and offer in this book one of the most compelling, hidden truths the world may ever hear. I can assure that any curious reader who reads this work and considers Mr. Peterson's story will never look at the world - or their life - the same again.

Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Beings

As a diplomat, and later as director of the Fulbright Scholarship Program, Wayne Peterson traveled circles inaccessible to most people. He had contacts at the highest levels of the White House, many foreign governments and the Vatican. This book tells the amazing story of how Mr. Peterson first met Maitreya, the Christ, and the group of highly evolved spiritual beings who surround him and oversee the evolution of our planet. It follows his career in the political halls of power, where he met many other influential people who have had similar experiences of Maitreya. All are aware that life as we know it is about to change dramatically for the better, and that they have a part to play in the transformation of our world when the time is right. A real page-turner, this book carried me from one astonishing adventure to the next - adventures which I would have had difficulty believing were it not for Mr. Peterson's credentials. His message offers us great hope during these trying times. It does corroborate Benamin Creme's information given over the last 25 years. Both men, each from different backgrounds and perspectives, assure us that the future is bright; that we have the possibility of making our world a place of peace, justice and beauty- a virtual heaven on earth.
