The True MasTer


            intellectual ideal of what spirituality should embody. This
            is one reason why a Master is so essential, for it is only
            natural to follow one’s own mental inclinations. however,
            without the counsel of a true Master, these very mental ten-
            dencies continue to captivate the soul, holding it prisoner
            indefinitely within the web of mental theory and the maze
            of intellectualism.
                 If objectively and dispassionately observed, it is
            quite clear that the major religions of the world rely upon
            a host of ascended Masters. although this may be bene-
            ficial in providing a relative degree of evolvement for the
            mind, it is wholly insufficient in the eyes of the Masters,
            because it is extremely difficult to believe and have faith
            in something you have never seen. When the ascended
            Masters completed their divine missions, they left this
            theatre of action and transferred their responsibilities of
            redeeming souls to those succeeding them. Thus, in a sce-
            nario such as we see in the major religions today, the true
            role and purpose of a Living Master has been reduced to
            a vague image, a fleeting spiritual impulse, and a formless
            figure from the distant past.
                 one’s chosen Master, ideally, should embody both
            an outer and Inner Form, for how could a devotee even
            be properly initiated absent the Master’s presence in the
            physical realm? how could the imperceptible nature of
            God be perceived or even related to except through the
            consciousness of the Master and his living example on this
            earthly plane of action? When the Masters of Light and
            sound speak of the Two Faces of the Master, they are refer-
            ring to an elite line of Guruship that only the true saints
            can possess. To be visibly manifest on the physical plane,
            while simultaneously being able to assume form and mani-
            fest on the inner planes of the student’s consciousness, is
            the divine boon of anami’s true saints. This is what vastly
