That is a very good question indeed. Glad you asked actually. Gives me an opportunity to clarfiy that. Thanks a lot for your honest inquiry. I would not suspect anything less from you
.
First of all. What is a "Master"?
A true Master does not see him/her self as "a Master". They agree to play that role because it benefits people. They are just natural ordinary human beings being "themselves" on full capacity. It is everyone else that is "less than ordinary" so to speak. This is a game of limitations remember. Picture the scale of consciousness as a negative scale from 0 to -1000. Zero is ordinary, while less than zero is extra-ordinary. It is not so attractive for the ego to become a zero as it is to become someone "on top of a scale from 1 to 1000"
.
A true Master calibrates above 600 on the
Scale of Consciousness as a minimum. There are very good spiritual teachers in the 500's and also some in the higher 400's. But teachers rely more on words and concepts (ie. some kind of "teaching"). A true Master does not need to speak a single word in order to change people. Many enlightened people go totally silent for the rest of their lives. They just sit there in Bliss and allow people to sit close to them as they benefit from that energy field. This is widely known in places like India. It is not so known in the west yet.
So, you ask; how does one recognize a true Master?
I have calibrated that there are about 40 people on surface of this planet (at the time of calibration some time ago) that calibrate above 600. So a true Master is not that easy to stumble across. There are many "fake gurus" per real Master I guess.
Would you recognize a true Master if you passed one on the street? Probably not. One way to recognize a true Master is of course to use
muscle testing to calibrate his/her level of Consciousness. That is probably not for everyone though...
If you are in the present of a real Master attending what is called Satsang (meeting in Truth/Love) you also might feel nothing at all. It depends on your level of development and sensitivity. People below 200 are "shielded" from Love in their darkness. They are like ungerminated seeds; hard and thickheaded. Love cannot penetrate that. However, if you are a sensitive and somewhat developed/mature Being and you find yourself in the Presence of a true Master what will you feel then?
You might not feel anything at first even then. It takes time to get acclimatized from the dense/lower vibrations of the normal world and to tune into the High Vibration of Love that eminates from the being of a true Master. It takes time to "melt" as the Master I have known says. A mature being will melt in the Presence of a true Master given time. No question about that. You will get more and more in tune with his/her High Vibration and you will observe that you are totally present for longer and longer periods of time in Satsang. The future/past disappears and you are exalted by the Eternal Now. Your mind quiets down totally and only Beingness/Love is left. You get a temporarily and very cleansing experience of how the Master feels all the time. You get a taste of his/her Being. That is what Jesus talked about when he said: "Eat me, drink me..." (drinking some cheap alchohol free wine and eating a cookie in church is really a poor compensation for the real deal
). That is Satsang. And you get a good rest and some good laughs also hopefully...
At least that is my experience...
The qualities of a true Master is a very strange fluidity. His/her responses sort of float towards what the inquiring person "needs" at that level and time. Without effort he/she can, very fleetingly, take on different roles that is needed according to the situation at hand. Be that a wise old grandfather/grandmother, or a loving father/mother figure, or sometimes even a more strict father/mother figure or whatever the situation invites/demands. There is always a childlike innocence to him/her also. His/her responses are always fresh and spontaniously flowing from moment to moment. With most people you know approximatly what to "expect". With a true Master you will never know what to expect or what "comes next". He/she is ahead of you on surfing the wave of the moment, and thus his/her remarks will always feel very refreshing and release any tense energy in the air.
It is not so different from what you might feel in the presence of a somewhat postive developed person. It is the same, but much much more intense... there are no opposites...only graduations along the same scale...
I hoped this answered your great question at least a little bit
!
Here are two different people that calibrate above 600 that I have found on Youtube. One woman and one man. With keen eyes you can perhaps observe a taste of some of the qualities that I spoke of above in both of them (of course seeing a video does not come close to actually being in the Presence):
The man is called Vishrant, and lives in Perth Australia:

The woman is called Neelam, and she travels around the world it seems:

Ps. To make this info more relevant to the topic of the thread I will repeat what I have said earlier: Namely, that the way I see it this whole planet is attending "Satsang", and it has been ongoing for several decades already. The High Vibrations of Love emanate from the ET federation, the Central sun/our Sun/our Earth and from Source itself. It takes time to process out all the lower vibrations and darkness - it takes time to "melt" - but we as humanity are getting there. Allow the process and don't resist it is my best advice. Make space in yourself to dwell in Peace - a Sacred space where you can withdraw from involvement in all the drama. Thanks!
