Actually that's a good thing. Why? Because if they are part of the 
the Hierarchy then you are not supposed to see anything concrete. 
Humanity's task is to run human affairs. The Masters are not here to 
run things for us. They are here to serve. But they stand and watch, 
they also serve in silence. You may not be conversant with all the 
ways in which service can be performed. It is not ONLY being 
a "Mother Theresa-type." She was a human being serving the physical 
and maybe spiritual needs of other humans. She will have to return to 
reap the benefit of the good karmas that she has created. That is ONE 
type of service only. It is the most basic type of service in my 
mind. Those who meditate are also doing service. But do you see them 
out in the open meditating? No. Wake up and smell the spiritual 
coffee brother.
