Masters the time of the Guru has passed. You must discern your truth and follow it. You are Gods. Do not give your power away, do not choose to channel your power through another person, channel, teacher or Guide.
Use self discernment with our words, if they do not resonate with you, do not accept them.
No human can be greater than or wiser than their experience, for wisdom is only achieved through experience, it cannot be short cut or bought. Experiential wisdom does not, cannot leap-frog from novice to mastery in one leap. And indeed what has been learned in one sojourn must be recaptured, re-earned in the NOW. Edgar Cayce, who had experienced Ascended Mastery in ancient Egypt as the great Ra-Ta, shared that in his lifetime just before that of the prophet Edgar Cayce, he had a misguided sojourn as a rogue and gambler in the American West.
It takes effort and wisdom in each 'Now'. Did not the Master Jeshua ben Josef spend years of devoted study and preparation? It is so.
The world has never had a shortage of prophets. True teachers are few and far between, there is no deficiency of charlatans making grandiose claims. The onset of what you call the New Age brought its own share of teachers and teachings. Many purchase pseudo credentials and make grandiose claims of wisdom that has not been earned . Some who claim to be teachers have not done the requisite groundwork. They seek guruship for gain, claiming the work of others as their own, feeding off the energy of followers. Integrity is essential. It has always been so. Wisdom and Virtue are not begot in illusion, delusion, ego imbalance or self aggrandizement. Masters, use discernment.
