omnipotence as the divine. We are truly gods...once real-
ized. nothing can touch the soul – not poverty, not pain, nor
the pleasures derived from the fulfillment of desires. soul
is so strong and powerful that it can literally be as big as the
universe. But nevertheless, difficulty can arise, my fellow
soul, when the spiritual seeker attempts to evaluate a Master.
The nemesis here is that even though soul is the true iden-
tity, hardly anyone is perceiving through the eye of soul.
You are currently viewing all life through your mind
and mental senses, and therefore your perception of the
Master, the path, and what the Master is saying is in direct
proportion to the present level of purity within your own
mind and mental senses. For this reason, much of what the
Master wishes to convey to you is not going to go as deep
as he would love for it to, and in fact, chances are you are
going to throw up a wall and keep him out completely.
This is the number one obstacle the Master faces, and of
course, the seeker as well.
The Master understands and is acutely aware that sin-
cere seekers desire truth very much. all they want is love,
honesty, and true spirituality, but the mind stands in be-
tween their desire for truth and the message of the Master.
as a result, some seekers only receive little tastes or fleet-
ing glimpses here and there, and even this is only when the
cynical, critical mind relaxes a little bit. But when the mind
actually does allow the power of soul into one’s perception
without prejudging, then one’s point of view enlarges and
the simplest statement can take on a new and more pro-
found meaning. Yet, the mind is usually so self-centered
and self-absorbed that it often feels it already knows all
things, and so it passes judgment freely and without reser-
vation. The mind can take a purely heavenly situation and
turn it into hell, manifesting an unbearable nightmare of
pain, anguish, and confusion in an instant.
