BELOVED MASTER

My Experience
Posted by: Heather Rupert, 1st June 2008

When I walked through Master Dhyan Vimal's door, I had no idea what I would find. In retrospect, I had no idea such universal beauty and greatness was right under my nose.

I came in with the burden of depression. I had been in this fallen state for about 5 years, off and on. I had searched far and wide for help and healing. You name it, I tried it. psychologists, psychiatrists, life coaches, astrologers, intuitive healers, western medicine, chinese medicine, naturopath, art therapy, shamanic healing, anti depressants. Sometimes, I would have up to 3 sessions a week of combined therapies listed above. All of this exposure offered me the greatest gift of support when I needed it, and in turn an even greater blessing. to keep looking, and alas find my way to here. my way to Master.

The first day I began Discipline 1, Master asked me if my depression was clinical or self diagnosed. I had been told many times that it was clinical by doctors and the like. But, when I went to answer him, all I could say is that I did not know. This reply surprised me, because I had always been so convinced that I was.

The work unfolds slowly and continuously. For me it has been like an excavation into my own awareness. Removing the layers and the veils, getting deeper and deeper to the precious jewels buried deep within. When I came to the Mastery Work, I was not coming to be a disciple of an Enlightened Man. I did not even know what a Master was, or that disciplehood existed in modern day. I came with tunnel vision, looking for healing for my depression. I was unhappy, emotionally exhausted and desperate.

And then, a miracle happened! Healing began almost instantly. Within hours of beginning Discipline 1, healing gently swept with and through me, turning darkness into light. And just like that, the weight of pain and sadness seemed to melt away and disappear.

I continued with the Sacred Work, doing my daily Mastery Meditation and attending Master's home and public talks. Every day I was happier, healthier and stronger. An inner fine tuning was indeed happening on a scale beyond myself. I didn't know why or how, and I stopped needing too. Master would offer some words or energy, and I would head his suggestions and sit with whatever came along. And alas even more healing flowed forth like a new found spring.

As I got more familiar with the community that surrounds Master, I would sometimes wonder if this was real or a dream. Happy, mindful, clear, aware people shining at their best. Could it be? As I have heard Master say, he chooses to surround himself with positive people. And indeed, they are magnetically drawn to him in droves.

I decided to write this because something is happening that takes me beyond my original quest for healing. Humorously, this narrow focus I had, had still been my intention, until I attended a 3 day Meditation Retreat with Master this past weekend.

Again, I showed up, I laughed, I danced, I played, I practiced mediation, I participated in group exercises, I listened attentively to Master's talks. I had fun, I grew, I healed, I experienced. But, by the end of the weekend, I felt beyond any state I had ever felt. I felt illuminated. not just 'the me' that I know to be as Heather, but the More of me... like a halo of light, inward and outward.

When it was time to leave, I began the actions of bringing my car around, collecting my luggage and the like. But, I suddenly saw that I was no longer the same person I was when I had arrived 3 days earlier. For a moment, I did not know what to do with myself. So, I just continued going through the motions of preparing to leave. When I embraced Master in thanks, I did not want to let him go. When he released me, I had to force myself to walk away. It was like I was paralyzed in that moment by his love. I curiously wondered what was happening? I chose to remain open and faithful and not to analyze it, which was my initial tendency.

About 24 hours this experience climaxed as I know it. I was at a concert of a band that I have dreamt of seeing my whole life. I had found a ticket to the sold out show under the cost of face value, just days before the retreat. This is significant, because I manifested this, quite simply using the tools I learned in Discipline 1. There I was at the concert, and I became aware of what I had created this for myself. that I was in fact a Creator. I realized that I was thinking, so I dropped into my feeling state, into my Being state and then into the Something More state. Suddenly tears started rolling freely down my cheeks, as love flooded in and out of me like a divine circuit. I was pure, I was open and I was alive.

Then it happened, as the innocence swept over me. I realized that I had tasted real bliss for the very first time. In turn, I was feeling pure love for Master, which flowed effortlessly into love for myself and back again. It was as though I was given the privilege to taste a mear drop of the most beautiful and entoxicating substance known to man. LOVE!

I grew humble in my experience. I barely touched it, and saw how small I am on it's scale of vastness. I was left with a longing to share my love gratitude and devotion toward Master. I wanted to kneel down right then and there, at the his feet. and then I would be kneeling to all of humanity, and to all of creation.

I now understand how base metal turns into gold.
