Defining The Master (Fireside Series, Vol. 1, No. 1) [Paperback]

Ramtha (Author)

Book Description

Series: Fireside | Publication Date: December 1, 2000

Part of Ramtha's Fireside Series collection library on the topic of how to become a true master: Does the life of the master exist for each of you? Absolutely. Is there anyone in this room that does not have that immortal line of potential around you? Everyone in this room has it, more so because you have learned about it. But why then wouldn t it make sense to say, But if I know it is there, how come I don t elect to be that? It is not that we wish we could be a master it is much more than that it is that being the master isn t our common thought. And if it were, then the life that you are now living would dramatically change to be one of no past, total clarity, unattachment, joy, and living in the present moment where the magic presence is effervescent every moment. Ramtha

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, transcribed with the clarity of a master, June 20, 2006

The Fireside Series Collection Library is an ongoing library of specific topics of interest taught by Ramtha the Enlightened One to his students at Ramtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE).

Ramtha defines a master as one who is able to consciously create their reality from their mind. This being lives without lack or limitation and therefore has no obstacles or arguments against the realities it is focusing upon. Thus its spirit and personality is integrated and the person is completely clear and free from hypocrisy and emotional addictions.

Ramtha describes the training at RSE and stresses the importance of being profoundly conscious and fully present with whatever you are doing. When you do not consciously create, or go unconscious, then you operate from your common thought. This is working from your past and thus unfolding in linear time and giving you more of the same reality.

He asks, "So where is your mind every day?" If you are not getting what you claim you want then your common thought is overriding your wishes and you allowed it to do so for the sake of emotional addictions and redemption.

The past represents a chemical burden upon you. You hide emotional secrets because you are ashamed of them or fear them. When you have something hidden you have to lie and you live the rollercoaster of fear of being found out, and then redemption when you "get away with it." You don't really know what truth is, and in order to really know it you have to let go of redemption and break the cycle.

You seek love in other people but you don't find it because you are not honest. Love lives beyond emotional addictions. We find joy in emotional detachment and only then does the pituitary produce the great hormones of bliss.

To become a master you must address that which is hidden and suppressed, and that means being challenged and accepting change.

This is a wonderful book, with a beautifully succinct message. If you want to master yourself then that means changing your common thought and stop being a victim to your past.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT FIRESIDE READING FROM RAMTHA, February 23, 2010

By 

JUAN CARLOS (Bogota,Cu,Co) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Defining The Master (Fireside Series, Vol. 1, No. 1) (Paperback)

AS MOST OF RAMTHA MESSAGES,THE CONTENT OF THIS FIRESIDE ""DEFINING THE MASTER""IS FAR BEYOND THE ORDINARY.THE MORE I STUDY THE RAMTHA MESSAGE I UNDERSTAND THAT HIS PHILOSOPHY GOES BEYOND WHAT THE SIMPLE TERMS HE USES TO REACH A WIDE AUDIENCE. DEFINING THE MASTER IS NO EXEPTION TO THIS RULE.IT DOES NOT MATTER SO MUCH WHO THE CHANNEL IS:WE MUST FOCCUSS ON THE MESSAGE AND NOT ON THE MESSENGER; WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS TO GRASP THE PROFOUND TEACHINGS OF THIS MASTER. IF YOU HAVE EVER WONDERED WHO YOU REALLY ARE BEYOND YOUR FLESH AND BONE AND WHAT IS OUR REAL PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD BEHIND THE APPARENT SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS ILLUSIONARY PURPOSE ACCEPTED BY THE COLLECTIVE;THIS FIRESIDE WILL SHAKE THE FOUNDATIONS OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.

WE ARE ALL MASTERS ON THIS JOURNEY OF INVOLUTION INTO MASS CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVOLUTION INTO OUR HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESSL BUT MOST DONT REALIZE IT AND OTHERS FORGET ABOUT IT. DEFINING THE MASTER IS A GREAT REMINDER OF THIS PRINCIPLE.

Having now read several of Ms. Knight's (Ramtha's channeler) books I have concluded that she, like other spiritualists of this bent, have the greatest of intentions, but her methodology is overly crafted into a system that is as much about making money as it is enabling spiritual realization. There are other paths that won't string you along as much. Worth the read if you are looking for another perspective, but I wouldn't get hooked into the Ramtha system.
