Transhumanism Seen As Preparing World For Maitreya 
In order to converge Buddhist philosophy, Western Enlightenment, and ‘mainstream’ transhumanism into a new concept that emphasizes human development in terms of insight and wisdom as the first realization of ‘human enhancement’ and as precondition to a ‘techno-scientific’ transhumanism, we can refer to the figure of the ‘Maitreya’. The Maitreya is the end-times figure of the future Buddha present in most of the major Buddhist philosophical schools. According to Buddhist beliefs, the Maitreya will appear in the future [and] the event will also allow the construction of a new world. The coming also signifies the end of the middle time in which humans currently reside (characterized as a low point of human existence between the Gautama Buddha and Maitreya.). Some people may be reminded here of Nietzsche’s philosophical work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, in which the (current) human is also seen to be on the way towards degeneration and as a intermediate phenomenon between the animal and the so-called
‘Ubermensch’ (new Nephilim).

‘We Must Stand Up for the Rights of Gays And Lesbians Everywhere,’ Obama Tells U.N.

(CNSNews.com) – In his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday, President Obama called for “open societies” that “empower their citizens,” including homosexuals and women. “No country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere,” Obama said one day after the United States started allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the U.S. military. In a reference to women, Obama said, “no country can realize its potential if half its population cannot reach theirs.”
