On
June 4, 2001, initiates arrived from many countries, jubilant and anxiously
waiting to be reunited with Master. At long last, the Master we had
missed for over a year showed up, charging the atmosphere with Her presence.
She was happy and relaxed, and still ever so beautiful in a yellow dress
and sporting the golden hair we first saw in Korea.
Master
then happily and patiently answered questions raised by initiates. In
response to one question, She said that when we see the Light, it means
we are at a higher level. At that time, the whole world disappears,
proving that it is but an illusion, one that is false and unreal. In
addition to Her physical body, both the inner Light and the inner Sound
are the Master, She said.
The
next day, Master came to see us before lunch and stayed to have lunch
with us, during which time a sister asked Master to hold an international
retreat. To this, She said that initiates could have local retreats
instead of international retreats. As long as we readily accept everything
that Master gives us, we should not listen to any demands raised by
our mind's desires.
To
questions raised by the initiates, Master said that some non-spiritual
questions brought about a painful energy that felt like pebbles being
thrown at Her. "The pebbles may be small, but they still hurt,"
She said. She added that we were not to ask questions that could be
answered at the Spiritual Information Desk, such as requesting Her permission
to be a resident or a Quan Yin messenger. And we were not to ask other
types of questions designed to get Her attention. She told us that when
we ask such questions, we bring Her down, and She wanted fervently to
bring us up to higher levels. For those who ask for Master's blessing
on their wisdom eye, She took the opportunity to remind us that we are
blessed all the time, so there is no need for this physical contact.
If She is ready, She will do it spontaneously. From now on we should
not ask for these physical blessings.
