A little over three years ago when I first came into contact with Master's teachings, I barely noticed my surroundings as my consciousness was often clouded with negative thoughts, drugs and depression. To me, the world seemed like a chaotic, pitiful mess. Two years ago, just before and then after my initiation, I began to notice things I had previously overlooked. I was fascinated by nature and the process of growth in the spring time. Bird song and flowers became something that I would stop to appreciate, often with a childlike grin. This spring, I am filled with an ever increasing amazement as I detect in the trees a luminescent quality that I would have previously believed undetectable with the human eye. When one begins to see the true nature of things, even the ordinary and mundane become beautiful!
