More Tom T comments interspersed: Tom T writes: > Wondering what qualifies in your book as a Master. Vaj writes: Someone in Unity, someone who has overthrown duality and someone with profound experience of what that means. It would be not unusual to see such a person have objects materialize (a la Guru Dev), knowledge of other worlds, etc. as part of that state. They will often have accessed the texts behind these states as a living experience. It is not unusual for them to understand the languages of other beings. Siddhis are no longer separate but part of the functioning of such people. So it was not unusual for one of my teachers to leave footprints in stone casually or pass his hand through an object, etc. Once you have overthrown duality, things like this can occur naturally. While everyone is different it is not unusual for them to be able to explain in intimate details the other worlds that lie parallel to this one. Tom T responds: Every description that you are using as an indicator of someone in Unity is something that happens in the relative. The understanding that I keep harping about is not in the relative. It is beyond the relative. It is the understanding that arises from Self knowing Self. That understanding happened in the lively portion of the absolute. It has nothing to do with what one can or cannot do in the relative. There will be many different ways for folks to demonstrate power in the relative. This knowing is beyond that and doesn't give a damn what one can or cannot do in the relative. How could it? the absolute is that from which all relative springs what will happen in the relative will. Vaj wrote: One key experience I have noticed, is that if you approach someone in Unity with many questions, even though you do not get to physically ask that person the questions you have burning in your heart, you leave with all your questions answered! Eventually an abstract quality begins to develop, where you see yourself in this persons mandala. This is very hard to describe. Eventually your own mandala unfolds as a unitary experience. It's not usual to look at other people and spontaneously see them as divinities. That's what being around someone in Unity does to you. Tom T responds: It is my experience that people who come with questions always go away with an answer. I don't know a damn thing till asked and then knowledge just comes out this mouth. It certainly can't be coming from the local hard drive as that seems to be pretty empty. Tom T
