My conclusions are not intellectual / logical and so I wouldn't look for
proof or evidence. The energetic impact someone has on me is evidence enough.
My instincts and intuition are more credible than my rational mind. And
having said all of that, my desire to meet a Master is to be inspired and to
learn, not born of curiosity or cynicism.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears. All in good time.
Ones external experience is a reflection of ones inner state. Therefore
someone not evolved enough to meet a Master would find it impossible to
experience the Master. This person might even cross the path of a Master but
would not register the experience as anything special. In the same way a baby
could not be moved by an exceptional work of art.

So it is a question of preparation and fate!? In Judaism they say one cannot
study Kabbalah until one has reached a certain age, is married and has
achieved a designated level of Torah observance. The Rabbis say that one
wouldn't be able to comprehend let alone understand Kabbalah until such a
time. Would be like teaching quantum physics to a toddler. Although I always
suspected that, in part, this reasoning is 'designed' to maintain the
ignorance of the masses and promote religious dogma.
