 | Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Beings by Wayne S. Peterson
Recently-retired director of the Fulbright Scholarship Program & a former U.S. diplomat, Wayne Peterson describes his incredible journey from the worldly halls of power to the spiritual Hall of Wisdom. After a life-saving experience with the Virgin Mary at the age of four, we fast-forward to s stint in the Peace Corps & a series of diplomatic assignments-from Rio to Saigon to Nairobi-then back to Washington, where the real adventure begins in 1982 after hearing Benjamin Creme interviewed on national television. Peterson vividly recounts his experiences & meetings with Maitreya, the World Teacher & a group of highly-evolved beings working with him, known as the Masters of Wisdom, who are here now to help us solve our most intractable global problems. To his amazement, Peterson discovers that many other highly-placed, influential people--within the White House, at the head of foreign governments & even inside the Vatican--have had experiences similar to his own & have pledged their support in the great planetary transformation now under way. A true-life adventure story for those who sense there is more to life than we have imagined, who want to understand the big picture , who want to be part of the solution.
