What is Share International?
Their own self -description (found on above website):
Share International is a magazine published by Share International Foundation (SIF), a non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) with offices in London and Amsterdam.
"Affiliated groups in other countries are also operated on a non-profit basis.
They include, among others, Tara Press (UK), Share International USA, Tara Canada, Share Japan, Editions Tetraeder (Germany), Share Ediciones (Spain), and Partage International (France).
All are independent entities but work co-operatively and present one message. This is done through distributing the magazine, publishing and/or distributing Benjamin Creme's books, arranging lecture tours for Mr Creme and other speakers, maintaining numerous web sites, and responding to public and media enquiries.
All revenues, of which more than 80% come from individual/private (not corporate or governmental) donors and only 20% from the sale of books and magazines, are used to disseminate information about the emergence of Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom, the Ageless Wisdom teachings, and the need for sharing and justice in the world. Benjamin Creme is editor of Share International magazine and chairman of the Dutch/British Share International Foundation.
He receives no compensation for this work, accepts no royalties from the sales of the magazine and his books, or honoraria for his lectures.
He serves in no official capacity with any of the other groups/organizations that have formed around the 'Reappearance work' but freely offers guidance when asked.
Most of the groups invite Benjamin Creme to their countries at least once a year, during which he gives free public lectures and introduces Transmission Meditation."
Note: "the affiliated groups include, among others... (those listed above)".
This implies there are more.
All of these affiliated groups:
1. Share International Foundation (London, Amsterdam)
2. Tara Press (UK)
3. Share International USA
4. Tara Canada
5. Share Japan
6. Editions Tetraeder (Germany)
7. Share Ediciones (Spain)
8. Partage International (France)
(and unamed other groups)
are all independent entities that work co-operatively and present "one message"
This one message is distributed in the form of "the magazine, publishing and/or distributing Benjamin Creme's books, arranging lecture tours for Mr Creme and other speakers, maintaining numerous web sites, and responding to public and media enquiries."
The magazine includes regular articles from Creme and also features various guest contributors.
Who are the other speakers?
What are the other numerous websites?
What are the other affiliated groups that distibute the one message?
And, before we examine the content, let us consider the structure of the organization.
What exactly is a non-profit?
What exactly is a non-govermental-organization?
