In a September 21, 1993 Time magazine article, the following statement appeared:
"The past few years have been an age of miracles. Unimaginable events have
succeeded one another as if the Creator had whistled up a new world..."
Since then, a steady increase in unexplained phenomena has occurred worldwide. Millions of people can now claim personal experience of some `miraculous' event:

What is behind this extraordinary activity being experienced alike by Christians and Muslims, Native Americans and Hindus, scientists and social outcasts, the devout and the agnostic?
Are these random and unrelated events or are they signs of a more inclusive `big picture' about to be revealed?

"The signs of Maitreya's presence in the world will continue to increase. According to one of His close associates in the Asian community of London, 'He is going to flood the world with such happenings that the mind can never comprehend it.'
"The signs are there for those who need them, to strengthen our faith and to give us the necessary courage and conviction to emerge from a state of complacency in order to take on, together, the myriad necessary tasks of salvage in the world."
