Lucille Cedercrans Schaible revealed a path of spiritual development based on what she called the New Thoughtform Presentation of the Wisdom. This work resulted in her being recognized as a true original in the field of esoteric philosophy and spiritual practice. In her later years, she again broke new ground with her unique teachings on Maitreya the future Buddha. Greg has long been a student of her early works and studied Buddhism with her from 1976 until her passing in 1984. Recently, Greg has been introducing people to Lucille's work regarding East/West synthesis and Maitreya. "The Path of Synthesis is open to all who seek it. It is characterized by Loving Kindness, the energy of Maitreya, the next World Teacher. As Loving Kindness moves into manifestation, it transforms the environment and in the process corrects each life expression so that it harmonizes with the Divine Plan. In this way, humanity will realize its spiritual identity and destiny, while taking the next steps along the path." Greg lives in Alameda, California near San Francisco. When he is not teaching classes on The Nature of the Soul and Maitreya, he works as an organizational development and change management consultant.
