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,
