Yes, I am open to the possibility that the appearances were actually genuine. I do not speak for others so I try to avoid using "we" and it would depend on what was included in the "etc. etc." whether I would be open to it or not. As I have said before, I do not find it necessary to either believe or disbelieve in the masters. I do not see where such a belief is mentioned as a requirement in the three objects or where it is even implied as a condition for being a student of divine wisdom. To me, a genuine appearance of the master occurs every time I shutdown my intellectual link to the phenomenal world and seek to become one with the master within.

As to my comment that there is more than one way to fake the appearance of a master, I could and perhaps should have added that there is surely more than one way to experience the reality of a master as well.


peace within,

Bill,

Yes I agree with everything (or almost everything you write!).

I was not trying to do a definitive analysis but simply
wanted to roughly indicate what this comparing and contrasting
could be.

I will just comment on just one thing you write since I don't have the time right now to do more:

"There is surely more than one way to fake the appearance of a master."

Yes surely I agree but hopefully you are not automatically saying that all appearances were therefore faked. Are we open to the possibility that the appearances were actually genuine? etc. etc.

Thanks for your comments.

Daniel
