One of the aspects of lineage and space-time transcendence shows us that we are in essence the entire line of our own masters; they are ongoing aspects and higher octaves of ourself; as we take a particular initiation, they take a corresponding initiation; indeed we see them as "more enlightened" or "mature" than we are as a matter of personal choice as to which chords of ourself we call into focus. Bentov also mentioned something like this BTW on that Sidhis-prep course -- that he saw the Masters all strung together, skewered with a light-ray through their hearts "like a shishkebab." :-) Or it might look more like bodies sitting one atop another like a totem- pole, but the concept appears to be much the same :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
