After encountering Maitreya and Jesus in the experiential expansion of consciousness described in "More Adventures In Eternity", I sought to become useful to these ascended masters by channeling the messages they felt humanity was primed for in the run-up to the fabled 2012 and the ascension process in general. Initially the messages were read over YouTube, reaching the world in the quickest fashion possible. But it was always my intention to assemble a printed version. In the long process of submitting the manuscript to various publishers, I continued with a few live channelings of Maitreya on YouTube, where he confronted some then contemporary issues, such as the swine flu epidemic, prophecies of alien landings, and the international fiscal crisis of 2008. These have been transcribed and added to the book in an appendix. As my respect for the ascended masters and their unwavering commitment to their younger brothers throughout the centuries was already established before the channeling experiment, wordofgord's customary irreverence is rarely visible. In this project I seek more to assist than entertain. Will this be the first of several volumes? At this point I am not sure and have not been given any indication. But on reexamining the texts herein I am convinced they contain much to ponder over as we help each other across the barriers our earlier prejudices and fears erected, for we are 'the dweller on the threshold', the threshold itself, and the one who so fervently desires to pass through.
