IF what I have found to be a new practice and concept is true, I can
sympathize with the feelings that the master's are promoting. What if you
were told that "advanced beings" were coming to the earth and going to
participate within your "seven bodies" until such time that they could
develop their own for use? Wouldn't you be a little put off by them? Gee, I
hope I still get to borrow the car? Well, their powers could certainly be
used as blessings on this our small planet, because we are at a standstill
in our progress and would like to concede to their assistance.
