Thank you. (Anyway, the first time I talked to You was in Mexico, and I was very free to talk to You. And when I watch the (video) tape where I am speaking with You, I feel ashamed.) Why? (Because I feel that I didn’t have so much respect for You. And I learned so much, and I think I grew up a little bit. And I was thinking twice whether to talk to You today.) Never mind, never mind. It’s OK. I did not mind, did I? Did I mind at that time? I did not mind the way you spoke to me or anything. No? (No, no.) No. It’s OK. (No, You were very…) Then forget it. It’s OK. (But the thing is that when you don’t know what a Master is, you talk, you know, like… But once you know what Master means, you feel more respect…) Oh, never mind. (…and more things for Master and…) Never mind. I’m just your friend. (I think about myself, that I grew up a little bit. Not too much, but a little bit.) OK. If you feel good about it, it’s OK. I don’t mind at all. (Thank You, Master.) I don’t mind. (Thank You.)
Yes. The white one. (Master, I’m going to give this to my friend so she talks for me.) OK, OK. (Her mother is initiated in the Convenient Method and she is 73 years old. And all day she is asking about why she cannot be initiated in the whole method.) Because she’s over-age. (Over-age.) There is no time, not enough time. She cannot sit so long also. The Convenient Method is OK, enough for her. Alright? The Convenient Method is enough already – enough for a person like her. Enough. (OK.) Enough.
OK. You too… (Master, I need someone to translate for me. Because I don’t speak English. OK, please, lend me the microphone. Yes.) Anybody can translate. Right here. OK. (Spanish.) Yeah. (Master, I was initiated 15 months ago. When I read Your book, the sample booklet, I fell in love with You, and I had no doubts about who You were and about following You. OK.) (I have been initiated 15 months now. I fell in love with You when I read Your sample book. And I have no doubts about who You are.) (Well, seven months after I asked for initiation, I was able to get initiated. You sent a [Quan Yin] messenger, and it’s been 15 months since I was initiated. I have already attended two retreats, and everyone here says that they have had experiences, whether they were good or bad.) (Everybody is talking about their experiences, whether they were good or bad, and even though I’ve been initiated for 15 months, I don’t seem to have had any experiences yet.)
(Well, when I was initiated, I had no experience. And they told me to be patient, and that in time I was going to have some experiences. And I have been patient for 15 months. So...) (First, when I received initiation, I didn’t experience anything. The [Quan Yin] messengers told me that I should be patient, and I have been patient for 15 months. I still have had no experience.) (They also told me that probably when You protect us, we do not have experiences so that we are not distracted by things that might happen. So my question is: How long do I have to wait to have those experiences?) (I was told that sometimes You protect the persons, allowing them not to have experiences for their own benefit. And I’m wondering, how much longer do I have to wait?) (Because until now, my faith has been blind. I mean, I keep going, but I have no experience. I clarify that yes, sometimes I have had dreams with You.) (I have blind faith in You, and I continue, and I continue. The only thing is that sometimes, in dreams, … I have dreams about You.)
Maybe you should sleep more often. It seems to work in sleep. When you meditate, you see sometimes emptiness? Like daylight or like black clouds? Moving darkness? (Sometimes.) (Sometimes.) (But a lot of mind, a lot of thinking, a lot of working on other things. Not meditation.) (But much more mind and thoughts and things that I think about rather than the actual meditation.) You have to pray more. Don’t just wait. Pray. Before you meditate, you pray to the inner Master to calm your mind. And recite the Five (Holy) Names loud for about half an hour, if nobody non-initiated is around you. And then use your finger or something, massage the wisdom eye like this with some oil – some scented oil or any massage oil. Like this, with your eyes closed, fine. For a while, and then you sit there and don’t think of anything except the Five (Holy) Names. You concentrate more on the Five (Holy) Names over here. And anytime your mind wanders or thinks all those chaotic thoughts, you bring it back to the focus. And then you will see the (inner Heavenly) Light better. But don’t do that all the time, just sometimes. (I do that sometimes.) (She says that she does that Sometimes.) It’s good. Good. Do it until you see the (inner Heavenly) Light.
Do you hear the (inner Heavenly) Sound? Do you hear some (inner Heavenly) Sound? (I have had it in dreams.) (Only in dreams.) It’s not possible. And when you do the Quan Yin (meditation on the inner Heavenly Sound), you don’t hear anything? (Always the same noise, always the same, always the same ones.) (The noise of your thoughts, let’s say.) (No, a permanent noise, but always the same; it is not something very high.) (She says that she listens to a noise but not of a high level, sort of like... always the same noise.) I see. You try to sort out one single melody and hang on to that. And then it will become louder. Many of us sink into a kind of taking things for granted after a while. And then we just sit there and do not concentrate well, that’s why. Yes, for some people, maybe the work, maybe the background, maybe sometimes eating the wrong food or mixing with the wrong crowd can lessen the intensity of your spiritual progress. So please try, try your best in your circumstance. You see, like this sister here, she has the negative (power) bugging her all the time. And she still has to work with it. Each one of us has to work with our own karma and our own circumstance. Vitamin B12… deficiency. Maybe take some (vegan) vitamins. See if you concentrate better – a (vegan) multivitamin and B12. OK.
