The Round Table
The Round Table is the leadership body of the Mission. While Maitreya is alive, its purpose is to advise and support Him, as well as be trained by Him to correctly lead the Mission. After Maitreya leaves His body, it will take His place as the head of the Mission organization. The Round Table's primary purpose at that point will be to find Maitreya again (in His next lifetime) and reinstall Him to leadership of the Mission. The Round Table will also form the top level of the facilitating body, once the Mission reaches that point (see The Plan). It will eventually have 12 members, chosen from those who are 100% dedicated to the Mission, understand the Teachings, have leadership abilities and can cooperate together to do God's Will, etc.
The prime directive for the Round Table is to act and lead the Mission in a manner fully consistent with Maitreya's Teachings and the example He set. The Round Table may not add to, subtract from, or change the Teachings in any way (no one can change the Teachings, not even Maitreya in future lifetimes). The Round Table also may not authoritatively interpret the Teachings or act in the capacity of a Prophet or spiritual teacher - their power is limited to applying the Teachings as has been Revealed to the best of their ability.
Further information about the purpose, responsibilities, and authority of the Round Table is set forth in the "Passing of the Scepter" writing in THOTH, as well as the other resources linked on this page.
About the Round Table
Current members (last updated May 2026): Maitreya (the Eldest), Noor.
Formation of the Round Table: The latest and most updated statement regarding the current status of the Round Table, the plan for Mission leadership after Maitreya leaves His body, etc. Revised from the original article about the Round Table in the January 2009 Newsbrief.
Passing of the Scepter: The original Supplement in THOTH explaining the succession of leadership in the Mission, the Round Table's role and function, the relationship of this arrangement to the spiritual authority and Spirit of God (the Scepter or Body of Christ), etc. This is the scriptural basis for all aspects of the Round Table and the source to rely on for any confusion regarding this body.
