            same spiritual essence, although each has a unique spiritual
            responsibility to fulfill.
                 This is actually the essential explanation of why the
            light and sound Teachings do not fall into the realm or
            definition of cultic practice, for the pure spiritual sound
            Current is the true Master, and this omnipresent Current
            emanating from god embodies and comprises all of the
            varying manifestations of the Master, whether the outer,
            dream, or Inner Master. The sole mission of these three
            Faces of the Master is to awaken you to your own internal
            sound Current, the spirit within you, thereby allowing the
            journey of soul to begin.

            3 . Q. I have been seeking a true Master for decades, and
            I must admit that I expected a sat guru to look different,
            more like the ancient adepts I have seen from the Far east.
            Is this just a surface distinction or are there real differences
            between Masters from the east and a Western sat guru?


               A. That’s a great question, and I am happy to respond.
            Yes indeed, you are observing and investigating an ameri-
            can sat guru, and I do not wear a turban, I do not have a
            beard, and I do not don a white robe. This raises a very
            pertinent question. What do you expect the Master to be?
            how do you expect him to look? We all have an image of
            what we expect a Master to be, but america and the West
            are seeing a sat guru here in the twenty-first century, and
            he is not an Indian guru. Thus, please allow me to first ad-
            dress the issue of cultural differences. When we incarnate
            into a new lifetime, we are born into a certain country, a
            particular family, and a specific culture. We are given ways
            to view and are literally conditioned in how to think and
            live with all of our fellow citizens within our country of
            origin. let us say that this country is america. so, as an
