Next steps

Have I been impertinent?

Oh, bless your heart! I do not take many things personally and I try not to make hasty judgements. I am happy to wait till we meet before I form an opinion. First impressions can be valuable, but not when these are gained from letters. So I ignore anything that is said casually or without due thought, and you do the same. Besides, it would not be fair to make life-changing decisions on the basis of things written in a book or in letters. Are we such wonderful writers? It is always a good idea to have a good long chat.

Do I know enough to take the first step?

If you have read this book as carefully as it was written, then the answer should be clear. Teaching others is a Master's job, so he is keen to help people. Unlike Occult Orders and Secret Societies though, I am not interested in numbers, or membership fees. There is no mass movement, no cause, and no revolution. I am not on fire with burning zeal. I would like to change the world, but not rule it. A Master stays calm, cool and judicious. I am glad if I have whetted your appetite, but if you want to know more, the ball is in your court.

So what do I do next?

Burn this book. Throw it away. Better still, pass it on to someone else. I promise that unless you make the next move, the matter will go no further. Everything can be ended here, though you may feel some slight regret a little later in life. On the other hand, you could take things one step further by asking for more particular information or by meeting up with someone who will be able to answer your personal questions.

Ah! Did you hear that twang? Hmm? That was the sound of my racquet striking a firm, spherical surface covered in fluffy fabric - a tennis ball, and it is now firmly in your court, I believe.

Is this goodbye?

Only if you want it to be. Good grief! How many times do I have to spell it out for you? Help is available if you require it but nobody is going to rush out like a flunkey to help you get off your horse. Look into your own soul and ask if something there .. a light, a little voice ... indicates that you should pursue matters and take them further. Everything is possible. It is all a matter of seizing the moment.
