In our travels, we may have often encountered the term 'mastery.' More than likely, we have also been told we must become "masters over nature." Indeed, there are no shortage of individuals who seek to become lords of nature (and others). So-called masters of finance, business, economics, the media, technology, politics, materialist science, sports, arts, crafts, video games, gambling, et al is immeasurable. Lest we be branded hypocritical, let it be known we hold an MBA, "Masters in Business Administration" (between us, we suggest what it really stands for is "Mediocre But Arrogant"). Let us not forget the countless 'master' tradespeople. Everything from master blacksmiths and goldsmiths, master plumbers and carpenters, master woodworkers and potters, to master horse whisperers and herdsmen. What about masters of martial arts? Is there such a thing as a master of meditation? What about a master of alchemy? For a few dollars and a few sessions, one can be awarded a certificate of "Reiki Master." And how does all this relate to last week's topic of magic? Are their masters of magic? If so, does that mean there are also masters of the dark arts. Understanding the difference between light and dark magic, who is the master, really? The question itself opens a Pandora's box not easily resealed:
What is the True nature of 'mastery?' Is there a method to realization of mastery? How does this method relate to us? Considering how many people are content with mediocrity, what is the even the point of mastering anything? Is genuine peace, joy, and happiness reserved solely for masters?
