Happy New Year to you as well, Adelasie.

When you say,

It is all a matter of
consciousness, a tremendously transient and nebulous attribute at
this stage of the development of humanity. It behooves those who have
had some meaningful inner experience to be grateful even to know they
have had it, and to aspire to be worthy of such a blessing, and let
it go at that.
I am in harmony with you.

I, too, would describe meeting a master as a "meaningful inner experience" regardless of the outer circumstances.

peace,


bill

Hi Bill,

Happy New Year! Nice to see you onlist.

Either one has met a master and knows (and needs
no written accounts of the eye witness testimony of others) or one has
not met a master and therefore (despite reading a hundred eye witness
testimonies of others) one does not know but must rely instead on
faith and belief.
You put it very concisely and I for one appreciate it. This endless
debate about the existence of Masters is revealing of the inner life
of this or that debator, but otherwise has no substance at all. All
that remains to be said on this subject, imho, is that one is neither
better nor more deserving of anything, for having fallen into the
first category instead of the latter. It is all a matter of
consciousness, a tremendously transient and nebulous attribute at
this stage of the development of humanity. It behooves those who have
had some meaningful inner experience to be grateful even to know they
have had it, and to aspire to be worthy of such a blessing, and let
it go at that. We can possibly be forgiven for being so fixated on
the material manifestation for proof of "reality," living as we do
deep in Kali Yuga, but we are not limited to a material
consciousness, if we aspire to more.

All the best,
Adelasie
