Summary
Q: One finds in various teachings the idea of masters, conscious entities who work for the good of mankind. Is there a reservoir of wisdom? Do such entities exist, or does man want to have myths?
There is the reservoir of goodness and the reservoir of violence. Is there something which is not these two, that is beyond these two?
Is your mind capable of not being held in the reservoirs of goodness or violence?
When you understand these two opposites and go beyond them, meditation is not in terms of vision or action, but the state of silence which then is operating, an energy which then flows. That energy has no character.
When one asks, ‘Is there a hierarchy, a master, a group of evolved entities?’ you are asking from a point of view, or from desire, from hope.
What is the relationship between the current of vulgarity and that which is beyond and above the opposites?
