Carlos,

It's useful to remember that the Master is within us. We humans are a 
part of a hierarchy which includes everyone. We on the material plane 
represent the outer manifestation of this hierarchy, the most dense 
and coarse, with the lowest vibration, the most "un-conscious." The 
Master is a part of the more developed inner aspect of the hierarchy. 
It's helpful to consider the seven-fold composition of all life here. 
Those in manifestation embody the lower quartenary, the Masters the 
higher triad. Every one is part of the Whole, and everything we do 
affects the Whole.

The guidance of the Master comes from within, expresses itself as a 
still small voice, popularly known as the conscience. From time to 
time as Karma demands, Masters manifest on the material plane to 
guide in a more direct way, but the Master is always as near as the 
student's own heart, the center of his being. 

The Master says, "You let go of my hand, but I never let go of 
yours." 

It is not a question of blind obedience. Quite the opposite. It is a 
matter of increased conscious awareness of who we really are and why 
we are here.

I don't know what you mean by poison. It doesn't factor in with these 
ideas in my estimation. But since you bring it up, it is interesting 
to consider that the second drop of poison contains the antidote. I 
wonder what anyone has to say about that?
