The Master

The Master stands for all humanity and in fact all life, without the interfering biases of a given belief system, which is implicitly narrowing and limiting. [this means the Master is beyond ALL religions, rituals, specific philosophies, governments, ethnic backgrounds, and traditions of all kinds, in favor of the direct perception of truth, and subsequent right action based upon it.]

5) The Master advocates spiritual attainment and values based upon the universal. They do not seek followers, but spiritual partners, (as equals) who will one day gain an even higher level of spiritual practice and realization, than they themselves have gained. Never does a true Master say, "I am the ONLY way", but instead speaks of the undying truth whereby, through a number of approaches, practitioners may find their own self evolving enlightenment. The Master is not interested in hierarchical structures for social or spiritual organization. Again, they seek the self realization of all persons, as cosmic equals, (souls/centers of consciousness).

To Know Love

Is there really the desire to know love, or to know the experience of someone having an emotion over self? Is it a desire to be itself expended in doing that which may be helpful or constructive? This can be done, but it will require the losing of self, as has been indicated, in service for others.
. . . But arise to that consciousness that if ye would have life, if ye would have friends, if ye would have love, these things ye must expend. For only that ye give away do ye possess.

Edgar Cayce Reading 1786-2
